It was amazing how the polls were wrong at least about Democrats. Frankly, I am glad that Hillary did not lose, at least not very high. She showed yesterday very human humble side, she should do it more often. The mass media were so much against her and "Clinton machine". Whatever Hillary or Bill said it was wrong, it was calculated, or it was not dyplomatic or this or that. There is just so much hate against them.
In some sense the treatment of Hillary Clinton reminds me the treatment of Britney Spears. Anything is reported in the negative way and that amplified as like these women did not have any feelings.
I still do not want Hillary to be a nominee because I know how mass media would scrutinize any word of her! But I want her to be respected.

Members A friend of mine who has lived in the States, went on and on last evening while we were having a drink about a Presidential candidate - Ron Paul. I've never heard of him but he says he is a wonderful guy and if he was still in the US he would vote for him. What are the thoughts about this guy? Leslie

To all,
Ron Paul, wants to close the F.B.I., I.R.S. and everything. How does he think he can do this? I don't think he has a chance. Do you?

Leslie....I listened to him talk about his policies on an interview of him and some of the things he has said sounds very interesting and makes sense but he is not of the norm we are use to so I think many will dismiss him as a bit extreme but I liked hiim and thought he had many good points. He is not a stupid guy.

Leslie,
Ron Paul is a very smart and he has very good ideas for changing the governmental system. He was an obstetritian but he became an expert on economy. He knows that dollar is weak and tries to change it in his policies, he is very honest and have a big crowd of followers among young people. He is also very critical towards the war in Iraq etc.
Saying all of this, I would hesitate to have him as a president because he is a real libertarian.
But I wish his followers would start a third party in the US, we need to talk about more serious issues!

To all,
Barack is only half black, his dad, and his mother was white. I think she is German. So you want to give him just a half vote. Black does not make him better.

Interesting being the fact I just recieved this in an email. What concerns me is the fact that he has duel citizenship. So when push comes to shove exactly where ans whos side whould he be on. The president should not be in the position to be having an option to choose.
Subject: Fw: Obama
FYI, this has been verified on Snopes.com.(not by me, Tina)
Who is Barack Obama?
Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it. We checked this out on " snopes.com ". It is factual. Check for yourself.
Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!
Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!
This is actually an old article being passed around as it came out ages ago when his nationality was being questioned along with his strange name and religious beliefs.

To all; Please go to Snopes yourself and read all the articles about Obama. www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obama.aspI have found myself to never trust an email that says it was checked out by snopes. More often than not the author just threw that in to make it look like it's factual. This Obama email is misleading. And I tell you that even though I don't personally like him as a presidential candidate, but I must be fair. Mary
