hi!!
A=1,B=2,C=3......Z=26
If you get the word ATTTUDE it adds up to 100!!(using the above)
A=1 T=20 T=20 I=9 T=20 U=21 D=4 E=5
(1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100)
ATTITUDE is 100% EVERYTHING!!

I will be glad te see the corrupt Bush admin go
GO OBAMA!! I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, I LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE!!

Um . . . .
Incidentally, "attitude" isn't remotely 100% of anything. Effort is awfully important, too.

Which is exactly what Mr. Obama lacks - any substance whatsoever behind his feel-good rhetoric. If he is eventually elected hopefully he'll develop some.

To be fair, all McCain has to offer is a bad sense of humor ("bomb, bomb iran"), bad judgement ("Iraq is safe") and apparantly a mistress.

The NYT report about McCain's supposed mistress should probably go in the "Dirty Tricks" thread. Next thing you know they'll be reporting that he picked "Bat Boy" as his Vice President, with just as much evidence backing up their claim (that is to say, none at all).
What do I care anyway? The candidate I voted for in the primary here is out of the race, at least until 2012.

I think Clinton will be successful in this election in becoming President,but I think Obama has and will make a +ve difference all the same.I would be quite happy for a female or a dark skinned gentleman make the world a better place
Besides I'm in New Zealand and USA has an influence on us as well,we have troops in Afghanistan,so its important what happens in your country, it affects everyone else.

do you agree with this yalibnan.com/site/archives/2008/02/only_obama.php . it is an idea for the favour of Obama written by a Lebanese immigrant in the States. I don't know, but Israeli newspapers have stated that he will try to deal with Iran and Syria and set some deals with them [which can be on the account of Lebanon]. What do you think about his too? thnx

Shouldn't you care more what policies a person will implement as President rather than their gender or skin color? When you think about it, being the first female President or first President of African descent may become as irrelevent to future generations as being the first President with a running-water bathtub, if they don't accomplish anything more significant than just being "first".

I'd just prefer to see the people vote in a president who wasn't a complete and utter moron, one who won't put the world in any more danger, who isn't a war criminal, who listens to the UN, who doesn't keep spouting that God is on his side, and one who does know how to take the covers off binoculars. Black, white, male, female, 3 legged ferret who can speak is totally irrelevant.

hey Lion King
thats an interesting item(yalibnan.com,etc) I just think he Obama could serve as a role model and besides my main point was mainly peoples ATTITUDES,everyone makes mistakes including you and me,black,white,male,female,whatever....so I was saying in reference to Martin Luther king...I judge Obama by the content of his character not his colour(in NZ we spell color with a u!,and we spell sox(US) as socks!
so my point is ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!!
but yeah!its interesting to see how Obama would deal with Iran & Syria,I think Obama is genuine and Bush/Cheney have other motives
whatever happens the human race still has hope!!
Personally I think Bush,Israel will use underground NUCLEAR bunker busters on Iran B4 the end of year,Clinton will be made president in 2008,and Iran/Russia wll declare war on the European Union next year(because of sanctions)...I hope they don't use nukes on each other but I think this is what things will come to...OMG!see what happens but apart from the bad things,get on with life today have you read a good book lately??seen a good movie.. I am a reading my aircraft books(one of my passions) and working on some projects.
How about you??

Gee, altair4 - sounds like a pessimistic attitude you have there, if you ask me!
Without sounding racist or whatever: I think it would be fantastic to have a female or black president. But, like Jason indicates, they should be only voted in based on their abilities and qualifications, not because they are female or black. If McCain would make a better president, then he should be voted in, don't you think?

I predict that no Nuclear bunker busters will be used this year on anyone, the next US president will NOT be named Clinton, and neither Iran nor Russia will declare war on the European Union.

Ginnie!! I still maintain what I said in my post(Bush,Israel..) it does sound pessimistic...but there is hope for mankind(+ve) I am still very much interested in where technology is going.I don't think the world is coming to an end.
I would take off into the mountains if things got really bad,New Zealand is like Canada you would like it....come to New Zealand and I will get you a beer,do they sell Steinlager in Ontario?
yes I would like te see a female or black president(in other words some people don't, regardless of how well they may perform,they have their reasons)
we have currently a female Prime Minister and so far so good(the +ves outweigh the -ves)
