BUSH / McCAIN

Mr. Obama:

Your comment was beneath the dignity of your intelligence. There are people who will vote for you as a REBUKE to BUSH / McCAIN. If you continue to insult the positions of PRO-LIFE people who feel we must have change in the WHITE HOUSE, you will find youself at the mercy of pundits lampooning the fact that YOU LOST an UNLOSEABLE election due to your OWN HUBRIS.

I suggest you accept the fact that you screwed-up. Move forward in humility praying that your stupid answer does not deprive you of the votes you need.

We all need to wake up. Abortion and Gay rights are not a federal government issue. I do not care one way or the other what people choose to do. I do care about my tax dollars going to fund debates over issues that are personal choice issues and are actually only considered by a minimal number of people. We need change in the United States and by dwelling on these issues we are not accomplishing anything.

To Too Flip: Well reasoned argument and well expressed. I wouldn't vote for Obama on a bet but yours is certainly a logical and empassioned plea.

Finally, a pro-Obama comment that doesn't make me mad.

Good Luck. (Although we will need more than luck no matter who is voted in this November.)

Not only that, he now admits Muslim is his faith. See the "Washington Times" article. Looks like Obama is fading fast. Poor guy.
