This is so scary, that I had to post it. My number one issue used to be the economy, but now this is my number one issue. McCain not only says that Roe v Wade was a bad decision, he wants to make birth control pills no longer available for insurance coverage. I guess it is OK to keep Viagra on insurance plans, but not birth control!
The Huffington post says it better and has a comical video. Here is the link

We are starting to have a lot of Hillary supporters come to this site. Yes, some are obnoxious, but others are clearly trying to find out more about Senator Obama and asking questions about why they should support him.
Please find it in your hearts to help those with questions about Senator Obama. I am sure when they become more familiar with his stands on the issues and his experience that they will be willing to support him in the general election.
It's over!!!!!!!!!!!! Barack Obama the next President of the United States.
Thank you North Carolina and Indiana.
President Obama sounds wonderful doesn't it?
It is really easy. I just contacted Barbara Boxer of CA. I have voted for her ever since she first ran for U.S. Senator. I am very proud of the fact that she was one of the 23 Senators that voted against the Iraq war in 2002. I knew that she supported Hillary, but I wanted to try to persuade her to vote for Barack instead. I was scared, but I did it.

My father is a blue collar worker, but that does not define him. He is extremely intelligent. He didn't have the opportunity to go to college, his family was too poor. I am thankful that he passed on some of that intelligence to me. I was able to get my college degree thanks to my hard work, and student grants and loans.
My dad has been complaining about the "uniformed electorate" for years, and now I am finally getting it. These are the people who are either unwilling to or just can't listen to the facts and learn about the issues that are important to the American people. These are the people that gave us two terms of George Bush. It is a very scary thought that the uninformed are the ones who are actually choosing the people who represent all of us in the government.
This gets me to my point. Thank God we have Superdelegates. These people are not uninformed. They are intelligent and know a thing or two about media bias. These are the people that are going to nominate Senator Obama as the Democratic candidate for President.
My 14 year old daughter was home sick from school today, and we were both watching the Obama interview on the Today show. I was thinking that Michelle was such a wonderful asset to Barack, and at the same time my daughter says, "Michelle should run for President." I laughed. I told my husband of the conversation when he got home, and he said she doesn't have enough experience, but after 8 years of being First lady then she can run. LOL!
Barack 2008
Michelle 2016 (just kidding)
All of the pundits are talking about how Barack can't get the white blue collar vote. What about the fact that Hillary loses the black vote by over 90%? No Democratic nominee for Presidnet has ever won without the support of the black vote, and this constituency is much more loyal to the Democratic party than the white blue collar vote.
My argument is this--Hillary would have a much more difficult time winning the Presidency with the blue collar workers who defect to the Republicans than Obama would with his strong AA base. He might even win.
Just my opinion though. Does anyone else agree with me?
Senator Obama must focus on the economy and discuss the specifics of his plans to get the country back on its feet. He also must contrast his good plans with Hillary's not so good plans and ask the people what they would prefer to have happen. He needs to talk more about specifics, new jobs for biotech workers, new green jobs for engineers but also for construction workers, building roads and bridges across the country (especially in CA where they are the worst in the nation), and more qualified teachers to teach our children.
We must also focus on education for our children, but also those workers whose jobs have been outsourced to other countries.
Last but not least, reducing our dependence on foreign oil. We would like to see some ads with some of the specifics discussed. It would be great if you could get an expert on an ad to do a comparison of your policies to your opponents, and agree with your direction.
