I'll say one thing for Obama, he is hopeful. Some small part of me

[texpatriot2004]

is drawn to his message of hope. The large part of me is cynical after so many years of this criminal administration and its cronies. Nonetheless, Obama stated that he believes that there is no reason America ought not to be hopeful. He believes that we can do better. He has continually put out his message of hope for America. I like that.

He is not my first choice. I still see him as inexperienced but I am intrigued by his message of hope, it is inspiring. Surely America can do better. Surely we have the resources to change the things we need to change.

Thank you Sen. Obama for your hopefulness.

2. It does matter. Remember "I still believe in a place called Hope"

those were the days. NGU!

3. Actually, I think we got suckered a bit on that one.But hey, who knew?

I loved Clinton then too.He sure was a charmer.

10. How can you say that? Things were headed in a great direction.

Gore was vice pres., don't forget.

11. Nafta? Welfare reform> Don't ask don't tell and a host of other issues And don't forget

Gore chose Lieberman out of all his potential VP's.I greatly admire Gore but the Gore of today is not quite the Gore of yesteryear. I admire certain things that Bill Clinton did but in many areas he was a disappointment.Still, he berat the socks off of any Repuke and for that alone he is notable! Cheers! And he is rthe sweetest talker on the planet! I may not always agree but htat man could sell ice to eskimos!

13. We are on the same page. I can't say he was perfect, but

the country was still America with the Bill of rights in tact.

4. And I agree.Thank you Sen. Obama.I think he is real.

5. Thank you for that.

And I'm hoping that you soon see that even more than national-level experience, we need new ideas and new blood -- someone with intelligence, heart, and guts in equal measure, not more of _this_ (though it's a very funny and enjoyable animation).

What we don't need is more of the same-old-same-old. If I may share for a moment...

My daughter is a university senior in California and is an area campus coordinator for Obama. She spends her weekends campaigning in Nevada. She'll also be spending her winter break plus an additional 2-week leave of absence from school campaigning in Iowa right before the primary.

My son's an Army veteran, a Ph.D. candidate, and a teacher -- and he's campaigning for Obama; he actually thought he was a Republican until he spent time in Europe and Central America.

I'm not saying this to brag, but to establish that they're both very intelligent, responsible, aware, and astute young adults.

They believe Obama is our best hope and the way I see it, this is their future at stake.

I, too, believe Obama is our very best choice to reunite and galvanize the country to face the severe challenges we have ahead.

I believe that he can best inspire and generate a desperately needed sense of hope, as well as restore the respect and friendship we once knew in the world.

Electing Barack Obama is our chance to help take back the future that BushCorp has been stealing from us all.


GObama!

6. Agree completely - and thanks for posting

7. He delivered in Illinois

He has as much experience as most of the candidates. If experience were all that mattered, Dennis Kucinich would be doing better. He has executive and congressional experience.

8. I think we need a new man for our age. I am with him.

I just hate the same old people running every thing. We have become like an old world country in our thinking.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. I've seen him waver and I've seen him turn for support in the

wrong direction. He is great and charismatic, but he needs seasoned. He needs the wisdom to complement his style.

He is worth a million republicans, but he is not ready for the position of leader a world leader.

12. He is authentic.
