Obama's campaign is all smoke, no fire

As the election grows near, we must evaluate candidates not merely on words, but on deeds. I have a hard time believing Obama didn't know the racist ideology preached in his church of 20 years. I have an equally hard time believing that his Muslim roots have been "completely" severed. Also, I am wondering, as many others are, "where's Jesse Jackson" and for that matter Al Sharpton? What have these extremists been promised to keep them quiet through this historical election? The fact that Princeton has restricted the viewing of Mrs. Obama's senior thesis paper till after the election's over is also very disturbing. I don't believe any of Cindy McCain's writing's are restricted, are they?

It's not that I am really for McCain, it's just that when people say we need change and they believe that Obama is the man, I think they need to ask themselves "what kinda change are we in for?" Obama has said that patriotism should not be an issue in this campaign. I beg to differ. Patriotism should be the life blood of a political candidate.

Also, what has Obama has done for Illinois while a senator? Seems there's a lot of smoke, but no fire.

Do we really want to elect someone because they're a good motivational speaker? Think again voters!!
