  Hey there RedRJ, good to see you! I don't know much of anything Obama has ever done besides run for office, except for reuniting the Grateful Dead. (For some reason I thought they were all dead, didn't think much about how grateful they might have been.)

    Thanks nice to be home again. Obama is a very eloquent speaker, has tons and tons of charisma. Ask people what he has done for his home state of Illinois and about legislation he has written, they attack a republican instead of naming Obama's accomplishments. He voted present 138 times is the most creative thing I have heard from him.

        Well,republicans had the chance to vote for the only conservative running and passed it up and called him a nut so I guess they're stuck with the liberal amnesty lovin waterboarding hatin McCain.

        I will never, ever vote for McCain either. I have felt that way for many years now, and it has just been reinforced again and again over time. Never, ever!!

      Why don't you do a little research before you bloviate your ill-informed opinions? Here are bills Obama authored or sponsored in the Illinois state legislature.

      http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/spon...
      http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet91/spon...
      http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/spon...
      http://www.ilga.gov/senate/SenatorBills.asp?Mem...
      And here you can find bills Obama sponsored as a US Senator.
      http://thomas.loc.gov/
      Maybe you should study Obama a little more before embarrassing yourself any further.

  What legislation has your nomineee McCain passed that has helped this country?What is his stance on illegal aliens?
  BTW-John Mellencamp has told your nominee McCain to stop using his songs in his campaign while Obama has "united" the Dead.

    I'd vote for Hitler before I would John McCain. McCain's abysmal voting record on amnesty for illegals is why. What I don't understand is on this very site about 99% of the folks out here wrote their senators and called the Senate switch board to stop the McCain Kennedy bill last summer. So many called it closed the senate switchboard that day. Obama, McCain, Clinton, Kennedy, John Kyle, Lindsey Graham democrats & republicans all voted for this bill. Seems they all forgot about that bill. I have not. Anyone that supported that bill will not get my vote.
    don't take my word for it.........

        No, I can't decide what to do because Obama is a complete Bolshevik, more personable than Hitlery, but more radical. I will step in front of a speeding bus rather than vote for Hitlery.

  Senator Obama pays attention, & addresses issues people never think about....until it affects them. The link above should give a small insight into Obama, if you bother to read it all & investigate the issues addressed. Then of course, one would have to think about the consequences if leaders didn't address these issues.
  As pointed out, Obama doesn't go after the pretty and emotional issues for attention. He just plods along and addresses important issues to the nation, without fanfare. Imagine. Someone doing their job.

Wow! That is actually amazing. I really never expected to hear anything to come out of the Gratefull Dead after Jerry died. Good for them for finding a cause to bring the band back together. Though it will never be the same with out Jerry, the Dead is one of the most under-rated greatest rock and roll band of all time with the biggest following. I grew up listening to the Dead from my mother who died last year from complications from diabeties like Jerry Garcia. She actually was lucky enough to see the Dead for the first time on their last tour before Jerry's demise.
I maybe going hell in a handbasket, but atleast I'll be enjoying the ride.

  Jerry would be proud...he probably would have been a Paul supporter, but the band still has influence which can only be positive.
