Yes We Can!
Yes We Can! say Obama is inexperienced. Best way to shut up an Obama suporter: ask them, “what is the most significant accomplishment of his political career” (community organizer doesn’t count)…..what was that…yep, crickets. By the way, what is a Community organizer? I live in Chicago, I’ve never seen a community organizer, and the community he organized, ain’t so organized. Please, anyone who thinks he changed the south side of Chicago, follow the link below (Obama, if you are the real change agent, you better get home quick homie, because something needs to be fixed):

Yes We can! Question why Obama has never challenged, or tried to change, the ineffective, and corrupt, Chicago political machine. The link below sums it up perfectly:

(Can someone please ask him if he likes to ride in Todd Stroeger Jr’s private elevator (see link below), in city Hall, paid for by our tax dollars {which is now at a nation-leading 10.25%)

Yes We Can! Explain to the country that Chicago had more homicides last year, than NYC (NYC has 3x the population of Chicago).
Yes We Can! Laugh hysterically when we hear someone say: ” I was originally for a different candidate, but my son/daughter in high-school/college told me to vote for Barack Obama, and I was inspired to do so (This is Chris Matthew’s favorite story-it seems almost daily he has an imaginary person tell him this story)—What college kid playing Wii, watching MTV2, smoking a bong, and paying none of their own bills, wouldn’t vote for Obama (Everyone in Hollywood is-when your in your tweens, teens, and early 20’s-Hollywood knows all)—it’s up to adults to realize that if Ben Affleck is supporting a candidate, than this is probably the wrong candidate.
Yes We can! say Obama sat in Trinity United Church of Christ for one of four reasons: 1. He truly believes the garbage being spewed out of there. 2. It’s politically expedient, in Chicago politics, to be a member 3. His wife truly believes the garbage being spewed 4. They have a great fish fry (my guess is: a blend of 2, 3 and 4)
Yes We Can! Feel nauseous when we see a yuppie in a BMW with an Obama sticker (disclaimer: I am a yuppy in a beamer myself {no bumper sticker, though}. When I see this, which is everyday, I can tell that by putting this bumper sticker on their car, or by putting a sign up on their $ 4 mm dollar Lincoln Park home, these people have freed themselves (in their minds) of all issues that we confront (racism, poverty, war, etc..) This action of support allows rich white people (you know, “typical white people”, like myself) to feel free from guilt, and so fucking cool…
Peace out, more to come

America is uncomfortable with news showing soldiers on foreign land.
It is uncomfortable watching homeland security take neccessary actions to ensure that people taking advantage of democracy to plot against America do not have an opportunity to execute.
America is uncomfortable with the consequence of consumer and banker greed and a materialistic approach adversely impacting their lifestyles.
America is uncomfortable with crime rates being higher in African American communities – as a result of single parent families, and lack of communal leadership.
America is very comfortable with Brittany Spears, Holiday sales, Reality TV. It is not comfortable with a serious debate of global affairs and getting a finer understanding of details, and global motivations.
America regrettably attributes its discomfort to the “government” and therefore the slogan “Change” seems very appealing especially coming from a young, unaffiliated, candidate. Seems to me that the concept of government solving people’s problems is what communism all about and not in line with a capitalistic country.
The media and its liberal supporter based have become blind from the facts – global, economic, and personal. Obama will be tasked with managing the world. I am not sure he can manage a high school. His affiliations (Preacher, Militant Muslim brother, Wife, Iraqi campaign funder) are suspect. He is anti-patriotic by his own admission – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bBJKMHptY8
I can keep elaborating yet if you track liberal media – no mention of the above exists. Any critique is fended off and ridiculed as being ignorant. Any comment is packaged as having a racial context.
Lastly, the future first lady, Michelle. For the first time she is proud to be an American. I wonder why? Both she and her husband went to Ivy League schools. I did not. They made $500,000 a year, most do not. They did not join the military, smoke crack – they enjoyed the opportunities that America provided them.
Time for Change – Americans need to change, themselves, and not take the easy path of looking for a leader to offload that responsibility.

Obama is not the candidate for change he is the candidate for dreamers.
How idealistic is the idea that the president will actually be able to transform my life? From my own experience, I have found it very difficult to implement small changes in my own life, how feasible is it for a president to come into office and change yours? My parents raised me different, I remember my father telling me to never depend on others, but to depend on your self. It seems my father was correct, the people depending on Obama to fix their bad decisions will only end up disappointed. Obama is a dreamer and so is everyone supporting his ideals.

Obama will lead to accelerated socialism. Expect elimination of lower tax bracket for capital gains, higher taxes for motivated people who earn a decent living, in return for ensuring “self help” is not promoted, and hatred towards the highly motivated is justified by creating social equality – we will soon become Europe for all intenstive purposes, losing the edge America had in the past century.
As Obama’s mama, I am concerned about my communist son.

When Chelsea Clinton, asked a returning US Soldier about fear. He said that there were only three things he was afraid of: “Osama, Obama, and Yo’ Mama.”
