My favorite blog at the time being is Barack Obama's blog, as you guessed if you have read my previous blogs that I am a huge supporter of our future president of the United States Barack Obama. His blog is well put together because of how effective multimedia components are, "mud-slinging is a political technique Obama has not become familiar with. This blog emphasises the importance of fundamental change in order for growth in our economy, foreign affairs, health care, and other vital issues to Americans. Currently I reside in the category of "middle class", I have family and friends from the high and low class and one thing we can all collectively agree on is we do not need another four years of the same irresponsible, deceiving acts that got us in this mess to begin with which is also discussed in Obama's blog. Unlike the self-proclaimed "Maverick", the components of Obama's blog is based strictly on facts, high-lighting actually not opinion. George Bush has dug a deep whole and he is trying to hand the shovel off to John McCain, I adamantly believe that it won't be easy for Obama to lead us back to the country we use to be, I also believe he essentially will. Lastly I gravitate to Obama's blog because he represents everything that I am striving to become and I can't thank him enough for the inspiration is has given me.

I can never resist the opportunity to make an enemy, especially where politics are involved. I'd read your blog before and noted the Obamania and followed the old maxim telling me to keep my mouth shut if I have nothing nice to say, but your quote from his site about how he's unfamiliar with mudslinging triggered something deep within my soul and I felt overly compelled to bring up some campaign tactics he is not only familiar with, but has mastered.
1) Ignoring campaign financing laws. By accepting both unverifiable and foreign donations to his campaign, it's obvious why he rejected public financing.
2) Lying. Most of Obama's lies center around either his history or his opponents, but there are also some great ones about how his possibly scandalous connections were just people in the neighborhood or people he spoke to once, when in actuality they were a man who launched his political career and worked with him on projects to radicalize the youth of Chicago, and a man who asked a local Congressman to write the Obamessiah a letter of recommendation to gain admittance into an Ivy League university.
3) Intimidation of individuals and the press. Suppression and censorship are great political tools for a dictator.
There are many more I have problems with. Ask me about the Truth Squads sometime.

I will begin by answering your first incomplete statement about "Ignoring campaign financing laws". Obama has not rejected public financing. Unlike McCain Obama has supporters like Warren Buffet, Oprah,and many more who back him by donating, which is perfectly within the legalities of Campaigning. Your source is a blog which is unprofessional to say the least.
Your second allegation of Obama "Lying" is yet again sloppy. You state, "when actuality THEY WERE A MAN who launched his political career and worked with him on projects to radicalize the you of Chicago". I'm guessing you ran out of blogs to quote off of because nobody knows who you are talking about when you reference "they were a man". sadly enough I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and trust your superior researching skills, if they are as thorough as I assume you would know that maybe him earning his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate had a little to do with the position he is in now; call me crazy.
Lastly Intimidation of individuals and the press is one of the most absurd things I have yet to hear but that statement coming from an obvious McCain supporter must be expected. We live in the great land of the United States, were equal opportunity is above all things so Suppression and censorship is irrelevant, even fox news can agree with me on that.
The reason in my eyes people don't support McCain/Palin as much as Obama/Biden is because the track record. John McCain finished 894 out of 899 in the United States Navel Academy. Sarra Palin went to FIVE colleges before earning her B.A. Maybe that's the reason they don't care about education.
What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
Ask yourself these questions and give them good thought.
