I KNEW THEY WEREN'T READY!

In my opinion Barack Obama was not expected to do this well in the run for President. He's getting too close, and just like I feel this country is not ready for a woman president, they are NOT ready for a black one. For a short time, I wondered how his campaign would be sabotaged and I'm not surprised that the Muslim card is being played. Let's see how far this will go. No matter what, it seems as though his campaign will either be slowed down and/or maybe even shut down. Even though we have come a long way as far as racism is concerned, with people like Colin Powell, Condolessa Rice, Clarence Thomas, and many other black dignitaries being in the high positions they hold, we still have a ways to go, plus perhaps, we may not find the light at the end of this tunnel in (I'll say) my life time any how. This is not an attempt to put down our country, this is just my opinion and I am merely exercising my right to freedom of speech.

There are many reasons I admire Senator Obama and I believe he would make a great President. My prayer is that God's will be done in this whole situation and the right/best person for the job will end up in office.

GET OVER YOURSELF!

This is my sentiment to all of those out there who have the nerve to sit in judgment on anyone. The Bible says “we have ALL sinned and come short of the glory of God,” so why is McCain being ripped apart for something that he may or may not have done in the past.

I am not a Republican; however, I am upset over the way that candidates for President are raked over the coals by the media and those who start gossip just because in my opinion they want to be in the spotlight or to become famous at someone else’s expense. Those of you who leaked out or brought out the alleged affair between John McCain and his co-worker, I will be the first to say that to commit adultery is wrong but if I had a dollar for every man or woman in high offices or otherwise, who has been guilty of it, I would probably have more money than Warren Buffet.

This is so disgusting that the media is making such a fuss over something that to my knowledge has not even been proven yet. As I say – GET OVER YOURSELF! Get a life and quit trying to get ahead at someone else’s expense.

Even though I am an Obama constituent, I really detest what is going on against McCain. In my opinion, he looks to be a person on the straight and narrow. People do change -- what he may have done at a younger age does not mean he is still capable of adultry. We are trying to elect a president, not dig up dirt on the candidates who wish to run our country. The Bible also states something to the effect, before you try to remove the mote out of someone else's eye, first get it out of your own eye. Everyone must be careful about sitting in judgment on people because the Bible says something like judge not that you will be judged, for what measure you judge another, you will also be judged. Before you decide to accuse another, take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself, "am I perfect, and if you are honest, the answer will be "no."
