"Change is Gonna Come"



I have been a supporter of Obama for 4 years now, and I am excited about his chances tonight. I think he is a man of integrity, he is a man of the people, and he is passionate about our country, and all its people. I really believe in what he says, and I believe he will change a person, change a town, change a city, change a state, change a country, and change the world. Every great leader is a great speaker and Obama is an incredible speaker. It takes a lot for me to listen to a speech, and every time I hear Obama speak and hear his words I stop and listen, like John F. Kennedy, like Franklin Roosevelt, and like Martin Luther King. McCain is a war hero, loves our country, and is a great person, but he is not the change we need. I have been a Republican my whole life, but when a person like Obama comes along who is a once in a lifetime kind of person, I had to recognize.

No doubt...went to the rally last night in Charlotte. Awesome!!!

You know a hall of famer, professional athlete who plays the game right when you see him play. The Big O is a hall of famer in a time that we need it most. I coulnt agree more. I could go on and on his issues for days versus the comp, but the game is over today, let God take his course. We have done our job...

Excited to get that W...

wrong wrong wrong wrong - young democrats are old republicans - LISTEN LISTEN - not like MLK or JFK - not in the least like them - he is a schmoozer and a "rock star" and the winds of change he is promising are not going to be for the better - just wait - again that is why we get to vote -

You Barak fans never cease to amaze me. You all are excited for "change", but you have no idea what he will change. Increased taxes, socialized medicine, weakened military, etc is what this man stands for. The fact that people still voted for this guy knowing the what type of people he has around him absolutely amazes me. This guy wouldn't get clearance to be in this position if he wasn't voted in. I'm embarassed for my country and I seriously scared to where we are heading.

It is a very sad day indeed - his manifesto is ging to knock you on your butts - "the ones that have will give to the ones that need" well in case you did not know we are the ones that have and I am tired of giving to the ones that need - started with Carter - worse with Clinton and now with Obama the top is going to blow off - yes things will change - hope you are prepared for what you wished for -
