All Obama has to promise me is to be the first black President and not be George W. Bush, John (100 years in Iraq) McSame or any other (R). It's not every year your vote can write American history!

I think there will be books quickly written about the very skillful campaign he has run and the emotional movement it fomented. But I trust that he will, if elected, get grounded pretty quickly by the complex problems facing him. And his young followers will get a good civics lesson. <g> Don't make the mistake, though, of thinking this is all about Obama. Hillary's turnouts have been huge and vocal and committed by historical standards. People, all their demographics, want political change. And for very real and grounded reasons. I mean, what exactly is it that a Republican can run on in this race? Where are the bragging points? You have to have something positive to run on, and everything the Rep party predicted would go swell didn't. It's been one disappointment after another.

Your post raises the question- Why do "they" hate America? They would say they are patriotic and do not hate America. they want America to change. What they believe in is socialism, and equality in wealth, health etc. They hate the fact that America is a capitalistic society based on self interest, and freedoms to create one's wealth. They want a different system and so hate what America is and represents. Rich

Nadine, that is what poses for philosophy in your mind? That is pathetic. No one is indiscriminate, that would be idiotic. We simply dislike you and your right wing ilk and for excellent reason. You people are inept, incompetent, corrupt, lazy and you lie. You people start wars for personal profit, you spend money that you do not have, you lie for personal gain, you engage in the dirtiest tactics imaginable, you ignore the Constitution, you put yourselves above the law and you live in the Middle Ages. You are old, your ideas are old and you are dismissed.
