I have been hearing more and more "We must end this war."out of Obamma's mouth. We can't leave a country open to terror just because one is saying what they think others need to hear. Obamma wants to get out of Iraq if he gets in, which is good, a good way to think, but he is emphasizing this way too much lately. Does he being a Muslim, have an agenda? Is he in the pockets of the Middle East leaders? Remember this, People took classes and went to college to become airline pilots. These pilots got jobs in the airlines and started flying. These pilots flew into the world trade center and destroyed it. I wonder just how far a man, a Muslim, a terrorist will go to cause harm to this country. I am not saying Obamma is gone to great lengths to get in the white house and get a chance at the button, but what I am saying is that those kids went through a lot of commitment to get into out planes. Think about it.

MISHAWAKA, Ind. (April 12) - A political tempest over Barack Obama's comments about bitter voters in small towns has given rival Hillary Rodham Clinton a new opening to court working class Democrats 10 days before Pennsylvanians hold a primary that she must win to keep her presidential campaign alive.
Obama tried to quell the furor Saturday, explaining his remarks while also conceding he had chosen his words poorly.
"If I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that," Obama said in an interview with the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal.
But the Clinton campaign fueled the controversy in every place and every way it could, hoping charges that Obama is elitist and arrogant will resonate with the swing voters the candidates are vying for not only in Pennsylvania, but in upcoming primaries in Indiana and North Carolina as well.
Political insiders differed on whether Obama's comments, which came to light Friday, would become a full-blown political disaster that could prompt party leaders to try to steer the nomination to Clinton even though Obama has more pledged delegates. Clinton supporters were eagerly hoping so.
They handed out "I'm not bitter" stickers in North Carolina, and held a conference call of Pennsylvania mayors to denounce the Illinois senator. In Indiana, Clinton did the work herself, telling plant workers in Indianapolis that Obama's comments were "elitist and out of touch."
At issue are comments he made privately at a fundraiser in San Francisco last Sunday. He was trying to explain his troubles winning over some working-class voters, saying they have become frustrated with economic conditions:
"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
The comments, posted Friday on The Huffington Post Web site, set off a blast of criticism from Clinton, Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain and other GOP officials, and drew attention to a potential Obama weakness — the image some have that the Harvard-trained lawyer is arrogant and aloof.
His campaign scrambled to defuse possible damage. Sorce:AOL NEWS
