Kahuna I am sorry...I made a flip quick reply to you on this one. I just, and this is obviously just me, get so annoyed with some of these comparisons. Ronald Regan had a life that was anything but shrouded and shadowy...it was open for many many years. I just KNOW FOR A FACT, that we do not know all we should know about our Sen Obama. He may turn out great but just ask about his TWENTY YEARS LONG relationship with Rev Wright, and you are a racist..TWENTY YEARS..not a meeting TWENTY YEARS. Ask about Ayers, who by the way to me is the least worrisome associate, and you are a hate mongerer. Ask about studying Sal Alinsky and you are told that gee...Sen Clinton wrote her thesis on him...but you dont hear that the White House when President Clinton was elected had that paper buried and not accessible to the public (wonder why).

We are asked to ignore all of this about a man who is in his mid 40's....he is not 70 and lived through a lot...he is in his mid 40's and has all this BUT we are asked to forget it...why...well, the 20 years dont count because he took a day WHILE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT to disown Rev Wright...the Ayers doesnt count because gee whiz this killer and maimer has done good things, and thus the erstwhile PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES can embrace him as a friend...his time as a communtiy organizer utilizing the Alinsky scheme (which he used also during his campaign) doesnt count for whatever reason you can think of. His campaign's appeal to black to vote for him BECAUSE of his skin color is ok and not racist in anyway because they should be proud of him BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR.....we should ignore Jessie Jackson's son saying in public and advising Sen Obama that he is acting "too white"......we should ignore whatever and how tenuous a relationship he had or has with ACORN because he said there is none.....And on that subject we should ignore the FRAUD being done in his name by ACORN because we just flat dont care.

Sorry Kahuana...I respect your opinion but you cannot make me trust this man. He is doing everything to get elected...he changed his mind on campaign financing and Sen McCain kept his word and is getting crushed on tv because of it...he is changing his views to become more electable
(see offfshore driliing for one). He comes to us at the right time....8 years of frustration...it is the time for change and here he is.

I do not believe in change SIMPLY for change sake !
