If Barack Obama is serious about the American economy, all he needs to do to prove that point is to indroduce a Bill to the Sentae (ANY BILL) that would put the obscene oil company profits (up to $75,000 per minute) back into the pockets of this nation's consumers, and lower the price of gasoline at the gas pumps. This would imediately allow all this nation's citizens to recognize that Obama isn't controlled by the same interests that to which the other candidates bow.

If Obama offers Hillary the VP slot, I will vote for J. McCain. No one owes Hillary anything.

Recently TaTa motors who bought Jaguar from Ford is introducing the Air Car in India. course it is not available in the US. 12,700, gets 68 mph and range of 125 miles on 340 liters of air. cost aobut 2.00 for fill up. Send this to McCain and see if he will get his oil company republicans to own up to the fact they are running the country.

Dear Senator Obama,

First let me say I am a fan, supporter, and contributor to your campaign.

I just recieved my New Yorker and found the cover quite amusing and I don't think it will have much affect on your bid for the presidency. Those who do not like you might try and use it against you, but those who already are in your camp should roll their eyes and smile. You, on the other hand, should really make light of it; poke some fun at yourself, laugh, but DO NOT react in anger, pain or outrage, you must accept it for what it is - the rough and tumble of campaign politics. Racting to it in any other way will simply make it worse and amplify the effect you want avoid.

You must know that this is only the beginning of what's to come; it's what any-body running for president should expect to receive.

It is funny so have fun with it; truly laugh it off. Enjoy it even. Let all of voting America see how confident and unaffected by petty snipes.

I am on your side and will continue giving you $$ - I might even frame the
cover and hang it infron of my desk. YOu are going to win and afterwards it
will be the source of some banter over the years to come.

Senator Obama:
Both my husband and I watch your campaign with enthusiasm. I remember a statement you made in a speech some time back and I have not heard since. I believe "any person living in America should not be poor" would really resonate with voters and even a TV ad stressing this point would be so positive. My husband held a democratic political position for 31 years; we really are campaign enthusiasts. Your political team is fantastic. I just wanted to mention this quote hoping to hear you use it again.

Good Luck!

I have ordered T shirts from Women For Obama. These were to be environmental shirts. The check was written on June 14th and I still have not gotten the shirts. Adrian Cooper is the contact person although she does not answer her phone. I have spoken to a number of people who say they will check in to it. I have been told by Adrian that "they are in the mail". OH COME ON! If anyone else has had this problem, I wonder how they worked it out and did they get their shirts?
I would think the campaign would want as many women as possible to support Obama.

Things are going GREAT! Your campaign theme "CHANGE" keeps coming up and I'd like to make a suggestion for ELECTION NIGHT! When the celebrations begin.....
How about using ARETHA Franklin' beautiful, powerful voice for Election Night singing(1) EVER CHANGING TIMES for the BIG party. It's a memorable tune and the WORDS fit!
Best of luck!
Sincerely, Peggy

I am a well-produced scriptwriter that wrote the premise of Reagan's famous oneliner about Mondale's youth and inexperience. I also write short articles for news papers. You might want to draw upon the following, especially the last paragraph:

During the GOP convention more time was spent mocking Sen. Barack Obama than addressing our nation’s catastrophic problems. Other speeches were full of self-praise, irony and contradiction.

Despite the Republican smear machine that associates Obama’s charisma to that of Moses opening up the red sea, Sen. John McCain appeared onstage in front of a huge half-circle of white light as if he were a god.

McCain has since been using Obama’s theme that he will change Washington. McCain backed President Bush’s policies by 90%. The Republican Party, the party of special interest groups, is going to change Washington? That’s enough hot air to increase the Greenhouse Effect.

McCain continues to reiterate his statement that he’d rather lose an election than lose a war.

McCain, a Vietnam War veteran, should know better than to think the Unites States can win the war with the terrorists hidden in every niche of the entire Middle East, a war similar to the Vietnam Conflict.

McCain needs to realize that the real war is at home – the war on the middle class, for if the middle class falls, so will the entire country.

[Florence Bacas, J.D.]

Mere days after Gov. Palin used the "lipstick" expression to differentiate pit bulls from hockey moms, Sen. Obama used it in referring to a pig. The connection was, obviously, not lost on his audience, nor on many women in our country.

ENOUGH! I am outraged that the Obama Campaign continues to deal the "sexist" card from the bottom of the deck and then feigns innocence.

When are you boys from the good-old-boy network going to learn to think through your choice of words before you speak them? Better still, when are you going to be men enough to admit your mistakes?

This may seem petty considering the financial problems the country and individuals are experiencing. However, I have taken it personally that the campaign has failed to send me a shirt I ordered and they accepted payment for in June. I have been frustrated trying to contact anyone for an answer: did I contribute to a bogus/con site? is the Obama campaign overwhelmed? understaffed? disinterested? How can you continue to send hundreds of dollars worth of campaign literature to me, yet not find the time to tell me the situation regarding the shirt? Really, I know it seems personal, but it is.

[Wiley and Eleanor Wood Enon Ohio]

Please!! No more 2 minute ads, no more professorial talks. Take charge of this campaign with the "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" theme. We saw you at Wright State University, we loved you speech in Boston 4 years ago. Let's get back to the style of those speeches.

We don't need anymore non-attack campaigns like Jimmy Carter for reelection. We don't need anymore of "I am above it all, I don't dirty my hands" as espoused in the Dukakis and Kerry campaigns!!! This country cannot take any more neocon politics.

We have been married for 51 years and would love to see a terrific two term president named Obama. Please get tougher and win this election. TO JOE BIDEN: Don't be cowed in your debate by the right wing nut case from Alaska. She wants to play with the guys, let her know that she gets no defferntial treatment. Now she is one of the boys. The best of every thing. We love you both.

I didn't miss one word of the first debate of Sept 26th. I found it both interesting and transparent that McCain constantly referred to former President Reagan in a way too obvious ploy for the independent votes. I am 200% for Barack Obama and have never been more proud as an American, to support a candidate with such knowledge of the inner workings of this country, a man of dignity, respect, class, and presence of strength which is so much more illuminated when standing next to John McCain. I found McCain's refusal to look at Obama, offensive and disrespectful. This is his treatment of a running mate in FRONT of the American population? I wouldn't trust him to represent us anywhere with such obvious "issues." The mask sliipped and we finally got a glimpse of who McCain really is. Obama, you were strong, concise and undaunted by the many "off the question jabs." Love and support to the Oath of Office!

Barack:

Some tips: 1. Don't allow McCain to interupt and talk down to you as he did on several occasions in the debate. 2. You need to play on McCain's weakness, which is termperment and frustration. On sensitive issues concerning McCain, you need to push hard and stay with the momentum. McCain will wither under the constant attack and show his true face. 3. You need to be more aggressive and less defensive. Several times during the debate you had McCain on the ropes, but failed to follow up.
McCain was tense and fridged as he tried to counter. This is the time to go after him.

Review using hydrogen instead of gazoline to power cars, truck, buses. It has been proven for over 30 years by an American scientist and company.

this wold reduce dependence on foreign oil producers over 50% in one year and, eventually, eiiminate all dependeence on foreign oil producers, and reduce drilling either onshore or offshore, an expensive and counter-productive exercise.

We are not involved in hydrogen. We are involved in cleaning up the environment at CAFOs, providing pure potable water for communities and homes, providing purified indoor atmospheres in hospitals - AMA doen't like us - and homes.

Dear Mr. Obama, I have been a repubilcan for many years but I have a 24yr old son and I think we do need a change and have pushed for him and his friends to vote for you, as I myself are leaning towards. But I come from Lee County Florida were Sheriff Michael Joseph Scoot used your full name (midddle name included) which has caused a graet deal of controversy, and I think Sheriff Scott has done a graet deal for our area, so it is up to you to let the people know that using your middle name
is okay or orther wise you would have chnged it and not let it become such a big media debate unless you thought that this would be an advantage to you, but it is not an advantage to our community and in this ecomomy it can hurt us. You need to stand up and say
this is who you are or legally change you middle name.

[Deborah Walker]

PLEASE. . . . we have HAD IT with all the verbage. As the campaign winds down PLEASE get your advertising people to create a simple montage of Obama campaign photos backed up with the Will.I.Am song, "Yes We Can" -- a song that was SO inspiring to millions. I believe this would win the hearts and minds of undecided voters. How powerful such an audio visual would be in the final days of this horrendous campaign season.

BECAUSE:

* A picture is worth a thousands words.

* Music goes to a place in our souls where nothing else reaches.
