I never thought Barak Hussein Obama said those things. I knew it was his spiritual advisor. What made me put him in the NOT column was stuff like:

1. He disinvited his pastor at his campaign kickoff (knew he was a whack job)
2. He has associated himself with a member of the weathermen.
3. He has associated himself with Whacko Farrakan.
4. He lied on national tv, several times about whether or not he had heard rev Wrong saying this crazy stuff.
5. He said in his "wonderful" speech that he could not distance himself from his mentor.
6. His wife made anti-American statements, which are understandable, given the revs constant droning about the US killing blacks by inventing AIDS.
7. He is not just a liberal, he is an ultra-liberal.
8. He wants to raise taxes(idiot)
9. He wants to send the money I worked had for, to the African warlords so they can steal it like they have most of the billions we've already sent there.
10. Need I go further . . . .

Now as for Hillary, oh well, no need to go into that....

So, that leaves McCain... I have not been a fan of McCain, however, I think he showed that he is a man of character when he refused to leave the prison camp, unless his troops could go with him. Do you think Hillary or Yobama would have done that. I don't. I think they would have jumped ship at the first chance.
