However the other arguments; supporting racists, his moral character, those are good points. And I'm fine with the "people like you" comment. He's not setting you aside because of your race or religion. He's just saying "people who think like you". Which I understand. I am scared of all the democrats that backed Obama in the first place. I really am.

The 'people like you' argument. Well played, sir. Your post indicates your own racist tendencies and it illustrates some serious intellectual deficiencies.

While being currently active in the military, I know it would be absolutely devastating to many of us if Obama were to win the presedential race. You're defending a man who shows no patriotism or love for his country and supports proven racists(Wright)/members of former extremist-terrorist groups? Look at the "BIG PICTURE"...Look at his MORAL CHARACTER... Look at his BELIEFS and his overall CHARACTER... This holds so much weight.... And people like you just seem to overlook these major issues and babble about useless B.S. Is that a person you want as our president? At least have someone in there that has a love and respect for our country, I mean, this is our President..... Barrack Hussein Obama? Sounds like a good one!!!!!!! Patrick,

The "does he love the country like you do" is bad. The correct answer is "Your honor, I object, calls for speculation on the part of the witness".

I wonder how much money, productivity, and brain cells, overall, were wasted with that one... Once again, bravo, ABC!!! Not to beat a dead horse, or anything, but what kind of question was this:

I am not a McCain fan, and not a Clinton fan, but Obama is a racist, anti-American douche-chill so I will most likely not be voting this year (first time ever). Maybe I will write in 'Bill Clinton'. Slick Willy may have been a lying SOB, but I felt that everyone knew the score. With Obama, I feel like it will be a long, long time before his legions of fans recognize what he is. Maybe they should read your post? Thanks for laying it out, Vinny.
