I can't afford to be bamboozled by a silver-tongued, sophiscated man full of ear-wash, who claims to have been raised in deprivation or improverishment and yet was sent to costly private schools that any mother could wish for. I am not impressed. Please spare me the rhetoric.

I agree with indielovejane, this person is right about McCain, how can anybody think we need four more years of the same we have now or maybe even worse. I don't agree with calling anybody a "racist". In case people forgot Obama has a "white" mother. I don't believe he is just for one race, I believe he is for all people,I know he has my vote.

He WORKED for those schools. He recieved scholarships and took our student loans that he just paid back A YEAR AGO. So don't speak about a man you know nothing about.

McCain? He owns more homes than he knows what to do with. He left his first wife after she was in a horrible car accident, cheated on her more than once and married a rich young blond with old family money. And calls her a cunt in front of reporters. So don't tell ME who is the silver-tongued devil when this people are fine about wanting to vote in a man who voted 95% of the time with Bush over a man like Obama who is at least STRIVING for hope.

I think the people against him are racist. And that's all they have to fall back on is chiding him for trying to make a better life for himself and being young. God forbid a man rises from poverty [and yes, he grew up in it] and makes something out of himself. He got out of college and didn't take a high paying lawyer job.. he went to Chicago to help the people out of work when the plants closed and were shipped over-seas.

Silver-tongued? He knows how to speak. But he certainly isn't the devil. After the past eight years, how can people be so blind to hope and help when it's offered to them?
