When did we start calling the two candidates for president 'presumptive?' Looked up the word and presumption means audacious. Sure does fit BO. Doesn't fit McCain.

The real surprise is that both candidates have accepted the
bush-defined 'war on terrorism' without question as something that needs to be fought and won. So, Obama has promised to turn back the clock six years in Afghanistan, to when we were popular, and send more troops. Doesn't anyone understand that six years of terrorizing the Afghan people has changed things. They now prefer the Taliban to our stooge government in Kabul. We've turned victory into defeat, just as Bush has done everywhere he has touched.

The real horror is that we have Iran surrounded on four sides, with American troops in three countries, and we continually threaten them, and we're surprised that they feel the need for their own nuclear weapons./ Perhaps, they'd like the respect that North Korea received from us AFTER we realized that they can target the US with their rockets nuclear warheads.

Seems like we've been operating around the world without a clue. And the two new guys, and most of their failed rivals, all want to do more of the same!

Mr. Obama acts like a winner already. McCaine certainly acts like a loser. The only way that he can realistically win is if he pulls a GWB as that one did against Gore and against Kerry. Thru voter FRAUD.

That Mr. Obama WILL win if NO voter fraud is pulled by the right.

We need international observers during the next presidential elections.

Barack Obama as next President of The United States of America


The die is cast and for reasons that only a privileged few know, you Sir, will be the next President of the United States of America. Your next 4 years will be a turning point in US history and planet earth. CHANGE, your advisors and high stake investors offer the nation will undoubtedly be the same rhetoric and empty promises that make up a political campaign, that campaigns for appointment for any public office in America.

The White House will be the Black House to some, the Aryan Brothers of America will not be so happy, but yet will blame you and your staff if you fail, which will reinforce their belief that the Aryan Nation is the true leader for America. The religious zealots will be busy bees making nests to survive the onslaught of lies, corruption and deceit. Business enterprises and other competing nations will capitalize off of your inexperience in the art of corruption and murder. The organized crime organizations from different nations including our own will benefit from the lack of control over national crime.

Military governments including our own will test your tolerance to pain and deception and trick you into needless and profitable domestic and international conflict. You will no doubt attempt to colorize your staff to soften the race conflict once in office.

As President you will be President. Nations will respect you only for your title of office. Americans will soon see after your appointment as President that your intentions were manipulated by those that make the rules. You will fill the spot in history as planned, and nothing more.

You will never while in office be able to pull the troops from conflict in any land we are engaged in. As a matter of fact we as a nation will be engaged in a new conflict of war, which will galvanize Americans to seek a different form of government and a different and honest Congress.

You will attempt to shore up Americas problems with false promise and lies, because you cannot directly affect the CHANGE you promised.

Your frustration will be your downfall while in office, and your co-dependence on those that you trust will also add to your demise.

Our Armed Forces in rank will respect you as good soldiers they are, but those under them will not, and for good reasons, that only a good soldier knows.

America will not be America until its government respects the People, and tells the truth. America is a Republic, not a Democracy or Fascist Government or is it?

Until you can walk thru the streets and neighborhoods of America unaided by Secret Service or any other law enforcement agency you will not be respected by the many, only by the fearful and selfish few. Americans can protect their leaders if they are honest and respectful of the people they were elected to serve. Our Government has forsaken us for many hundreds of years, and now we will wait until your 4 years are finished for us to come to fruition.

CHANGE FOR AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!
The American Republic
A Sovereign Republic
