Did anyone notice what Michelle Obama said about public education? How much money has the NEA given the campaign anyway. Kind of funny that she is an expert on public education seeing as she went to Princeton.
And what was with Keith Obermann last night...I thought he was having an orgasm after she spoke.

Common Citizen,
I think all candidates come in with the same things, they say lower taxes, better for middle income families, better health care, and better foreign policy... I am a Democrat and have been for a while.
I just think its time for change, a new party and new start, after 8 years of Bush... All candidates are going to make promises, but with his health care reform, his tax relief for the middle class, his views on Iraq and reform of the immigration system, I am behind him...
Again whoever wins, is all the things they say going to happen, NO... But when it comes down to it, I want my president to be a person, that when he speaks and looks out to the America people, he is someone you feel you can trust and believe in what he is saying.. I believe in Barack...
8 years ago I was a McCain backer even though I am a democrat, If he would of knocked out Bush I would of voted for him against Gore... But now after 8 years of Bush, its time for a change...Go obama

It's been awhile since the president has come right out of the Senate.
JFK came right out the senate and also served in the Navy.
Bush 41 came out of the house, and so did Ford but both were VP 1st.
Leadership before the nomination:
Bush 43 - Gov State of Texas Clinton- Gov State of Arkansas Bush 41 - Director of CIA & VP Reagan- Gov State of California Carter- Gov State of Georgia Ford- VP Nixon - VP Johnson- VP
Either Barry or John are going to do something that has not happen in awhile, a senator for president.

QUOTE Leadership before the nomination:

Makes Barry's resume a little laughable, doesn't it?
"Community organizer" "State Senator" "143 days as a U.S. Senator" "Authored ONE piece of legislation--to give .7% of the entire U.S. GDP to the UN ($845,000,000,000 or $2000 for every man, woman, and child in the country) for global poverty relief".
The man has no experience, has never run anything other than a failed experiment in giving away government money (how bad do you have to be to fail at giving away money?)
No major corporation would consider him for any top management post, yet the lock-step-libbies consider the most liberal U.S. Senator as Presidential material just because he has a (D) after his name.
