He just goes on and on and on.</i> And that happens on the same day Castro retires. Coincidence? If Obama does not learn how to cut those speeches short,people might just get tired of him by November.

He just goes on and on and on.

Having Michelle stfu would help. I hope Barry can at least put a stake through the almost nonexistent heart of Muffer’s presidential aspirations before he completely melts down.

McCain is making an issue of his character. Yep, Obama has not even gotten the nomination and he is already breaking pledges. That tells us a lot about the man.

Nice distortion of McCain's "100 year" quote. He wants "more than a century of war in Iraq"? Please. Who's doing the fear-mongering here? Eight months of this backandforth. How grim. “John McCain’s remarks tonight shows why he’s offering nothing more than a third term of George Bush’s policies -ñ more fear-mongering, more than a century of war in Iraq, and more budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthiest few at the expense of hardworking Americans,” said Obama campaign spokesperson Bill Burton.

I think the US is the best country on the planet and I'm lucky I was born here. I think I may have made a few small contributions to that, of which I am proud. Those would be things like military service, donating blood, tutoring, volunteering, staying out of trouble (ok, except for a speeding ticket)... I'm no George Washington - I'm not even a George Carlin, but I can say I helped pull the load. So I can understand Mrs Obama's feelings. The problem is hers. She just hasn't done enough to feel good about herself. That is satisfaction wards of a government will never know. It's not a perfect country, but no country is. I'm glad I live in such a good country, but it would be unseemly to take pride in the accomplishments of others. I helped, it's enough for me. I feel proud about things I’ve accomplished, period.
