    Did anyone change their mind on Obama yesterday. Specifically, are you for Obama now more than ever, or were you for Obama, but are now for Hillary after yesterdays speech.

    I was beginning to like the senator from Illinois, and I have always voted Republican. Obama is pretty engaging and a terrific speaker. That being said yesterdays speech really bothered me. His affliation with anti-American Revererand Wright and the fact that his church gave Farrakhan an award doesn't sit well with me. I felt like he pretty much defended the man yesterday.

    So that being said, I am now 100% voting for McCain, because Hillary was never an option for me. What say you?

    Mickey Mouse. I always write him in.

    Although the Personal Choice party usually has a porn star running. I'm down with Vice-President Marilyn Chambers.

    Yesterday, I watched McCain's statement to the press.

    Isn't it a little late for him to be learning on the fly?

    McCain's blunders will have no effect at all.

    Obama.

    I don't have strong feelings against McCain besides I think this country needs to change parties at the top for awhile and I think he is too old.

    Anyone but Hillary.

    Congratulations on pretty much missing the point of his speech.

    I was of the same mindest. I just can't get over the affliation he has with Wright and Obama's refusal to throw him under the bus. Obama proved to be very soft yesterday.

    If he threw him under the bus nobody would believe it and would compare him to Hillary.

    Whats wrong with throwing a person under the bus who spewed anti-american bull ?

    Yes Obama denouced what he said, but at the same time he defended the Wright. Thats unacceptable to me.

    He did, just not 100%

    I though his comparison to his grandmother was perfect. You can still love someone and not be 100% on board with everything they say.

    Why would he get all firey about it now and not 7 years ago.

    A year younger than Reagan when he was elected his second term I believe.

    Bush would consider that loyalty.

    1. Understanding why people are angry. This is not the same as justifying the stupid things they may say or do when they are angry.

    2. Addressing the causes of their anger. Here is where personal/community responsibility, government reform and, where appropriate, government programs come in.

    I felt Obama addressed the race issue in America, more than the Wright issue.
    It was a great speech and I agreed with many points that he made. But Obama defending Wright is what I have a problem with. The man gave Farakahn, a true racist, a lifetime achievement award.

    Wrights sentiments are NOT what make real progress in this nation, it just further poisions the current generation.

    What bothers me is if Obama, as a politican, knew of Wrights political sentiments and denouced them. Why then didn't Obama try to open Wright up to the truth all these years. If he can't even deal with his own pastor, how can he be expected to be steadfast when dealing with other world leaders of questionable character.

    Thats what was dissapointing to me.

    Good God...move on. If we get onto every politician due to association then nobody would get elected.

    We might as well scrap Hillary and McCain and start over.
