1. OBAMA TALK RADIO: Hi Fellow Warriors....We invite you to listen to last night's Obama web radio show (Nothing But The Truth with Greg Jones). Last night's show features Senator Obama's powerful speech entitled 'In One Week' which is a powerful message that should be heard particularly by all undecideds. You'll also hear some of the songs written and performed by Obama supporters. So please listen....share the show....and stay fired up !

2. I think it was an excellent presentation, and I'm sure it appealed to many voters who are still undecided. Senator Obama has once again exhibited his ability to be classy, innovative, informative, understanding and tough when he needs to be. By not excluding anyone, I feel he appealed to all Americans who view this nation as "ONE" United States of America and that to me is the bottom line. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

3. Senator Obama is the man for these challengng times , someone who, I believe can put the country back on the
right track. He is someone who I believe in because of his faith, his values , his family and his God- given gifts. As president, he is someone who we all can be proud. Senator Obama is our Moses !! I am glad that I had an opportunity to meet him in my hometown of Marion,SC when he visited a local barber shop, named "Emerson" on Main Street last year. He is "real", down to earth and very personble. He and Biden makes a super team! He is the right man ,for the right time to lead this Country.

May God bless him & his lovely family !!

4. GO OBAMA!! I THINK OBAMA AND HIS STAFF DID A WONDERFUL JOB!! MCAIN WAS ON LARRY KING AND HE WAS BADMOUTHING OBAMA, SAYING HE HAD TOO MUCH MONEY.
HOWEVER, IT WAS ALL CONTRIBUTED TO HIM IN SMALL AMTS BY SINGLE PEOPLE.
MCCAIN CAN USE HIS WIFE'S MONEY, FOR SHE IS WEALTHY.
OBAMA ALSO DID NOT BADMOUTH MCCAIN.
IF ANYONE THINKS SARAH PALIN IS QUALIFIED, READ HER BOOK AND SEE FORYOURSELF!! GO OBAMA!!

I dont understand how he can spend 4 mill on this spot..and yet his family are so very very very poor...How can he sleep at night...Why hasnt he helped his own family...why should we beleive he will help us.....he will help congress and the senate spend money to control our lives...before communism takes over a country.. the spirit of communism enters first...spread the wealth haha....plus he is a baby killer..how can a man who only believes in himself help us...
