He may win the Democratic nomination by keeping his stand on the issues quiet right now, but that "dog won't hunt" once the general election campaigning and debates start!<BR/><BR/>Take a look at <A HREF="http://heatherannastasia.blogspot.com/2008/02/sheep-in-human-clothing-scientists.html" REL="nofollow">this blog post</A> about "Sheep in human clothing: Scientists reveal our flock mentality."<BR/><BR/>Wow! That definitely describes the sheeple mentality of the Obamamanics!Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-59369129427407875612008-02-21T19:04:00.000-08:002008-02-21T19:04:00.000-08:00"Obamania Verges on Obsession"Clearly our hostess ...<B>"Obamania Verges on Obsession"</B><BR/><BR/>Clearly our hostess is not obsessed with Obama, <B><I>despite</B></I> the fact that four of her last five rants have been about him.<BR/><BR/>Pot, say hello to Kettle.GMpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189308176043748343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-91079397203563449392008-02-21T14:26:00.000-08:002008-02-21T14:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for the recent posts on Obama mania. It see...Thanks for the recent posts on Obama mania. It seems the man is trying to win via charisma rather than character. Vague promises of change take the place of a well thought out plan for the future.<BR/><BR/>Where are the journalists asking the hard questions? We better get some answers pretty quick or we're going to be stuck with the consequences of an ill-advised choice for four long years.<BR/><BR/>Could it be that Obama doesn't want the citizens of the U.S. to know where he stands on the issues? Have candidates not only made their values off limits, but also their agenda for America?Susan J. Reinhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461276857852409546noreply@blogger.com
