Obama/Biden by their own policies expressed on their campaign website are only concerned with the redistribution of wealth. I suppose that is good for anyone they happen to like but not good for anyone else.

Ya know, this just makes me think about how people will feel if he is sworn in…raising his right hand..states I, Barack Hussein Obama do solemnly swear, blah ,blah…
It feels morally wrong a mere 7 years after WTC and all our deceased and wounded soldiers, their family, friends and loved ones…
I couldn’t vote for him even if I had remained a democrat.

I knew what you meant Isabel. But I can understand why you felt you had to clarify your meaning.

I agree with you. I know some really clueless ppl with a lot of education and very bright ppl with very little education. Some ppl are ‘intellectuals’ and get so lost in their own thoughts that they can’t make decisions or communicate a real opinion. An intellectual generally doesn’t make a good President (imo) because you need someone who can make a decision and accept the consequences of his/her decisions.

In rereading the previous comment, let me make myself clear. The “A Harvard graduate can be stupid” statement was a generic statement. I don’t at all think Obama is stupid. Incompetent, yes. Stupid, no. He’s quite clever in using his abilities for his own gain. An Ivy League education doesn’t guarantee intelligence or competence.

Apparently Sarge sees race in everything. A Harvard graduate can be stupid. Incompetence has nothing to do with education.

Sarge - that’s really sad that is all you see. It seriously is.

As much fun as people poke at George Bush when he twists his words around and no one says its because he’s white. They just call him names and accuse him of being the source of all evil. Why the double standard?

Do we have to like everything about Obama because he’s black? Or can we judge him on his character, policies and abilities rather than on the color of his skin?

hey look at this who is the most educated him or mccain, oh, i get it it really has nothing to do with education right or is it race. Could a man of color have a higher degree of education than a white. can you tell me why he has to be consider incompetent when john mccain seems to be behind on all issues. Oh and john mccain can’t grow grey hair because he is to old already. He may ned to consider the retirement home.

It’s scary to think that such an incompetent is so close to being elected to the presidency.
