African American--What part of Obama is African, and he is only 1/2 black.

McCain might be worth a lot but let's look at who came out to support Obama....Hollywood. They are the biggest elitist group out there and the wealthiest too. President Bush signed a bill worth BILLIONS to help American Indian people on reservations. Did we hear about this? NO, because most of the media is liberal and heaven forbid they show the president in a positive light. Angela McGown has written a book about her research. She states that republicans have historically done more for women and minorities than democrats. FYI: It is a misconception that democrats are for the "working man." Do you like high taxes?

Jessy Jackson would have been the first, except the "super delegate" system was put in to keep him off the ballot by the democrats.

OMG! Get a grip on reality people. Like Obama said last night...Mccain sides with bush 90 percent of the time, i dont know about anyone else but I REALLY do NOT want another Bush in office! Man another 4 years of screwups would be horrible. At least Obama is for the working man, people like the majority of us that live in Wichita. Im not huge on Obama but he is sooooo much better the MCCAIN!!! GO OBAMA!!!

I don't want to pay sky high taxes. He also refused to sign the "Infant Born Alive" Act in his home state. This would have protected babies born alive during botched abortions. I'm not certain how he can unite people since he is the most left leaning senator. To Joke: Why call someone a mut? Most Americans are multi-racial and may not even know it. When you talk like that, it makes the rest of us look like ignorant rednecks.

An elitist McCain is worth 100 million dollars and Obama is an elitist? You 2 are racist. He is not middle eastern which makes me think you are not very intouch with facts. Which most GOP don't no facts only internet BS

All he cares about is attention. GO MCCAIN!
