I wonder if Mr. Gordon even realizes that it was the Democrats who lead the effort to pass campaign finance "reform" leading to the McCain/Feingold Act. Obama can whine all he wants about "it's not working" but that will not change the record on which Party clamored to have it exactly the way it is today, in the face of those who predicted exactly what would happen.

Of course, Mr. Obama was all for the current system until he realized he could raise enormous sums of money, much more than his opponent. Then reality set in, and presto, the current system is "broken".

That is the one thing I appreciate most about Obama: his intellect.

After 8 years of a bumbling inarticulate idiot, a smart thoughtful leader is well over due.

I also like Baracks toughness; you will not see them push him around and him not push back. That is what the Democratic Party needs.
Bill Clinton showed us in the 90s every time he beat the snot out of the Republicans (thats why they hate him so much, because they could never beat him).

Taking public finance would have given McGeritol an advantage; so he was smart enough to say hell no, I will have real public finance through internet donors.

GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

He can reject tyhe money but it is imperative that he reject his "friends" LOUD and CLEAR. Then he must reject the tree-huggers and caribou-coddlers and prove to the world that he will do something to bring the cost of gas down. The price of fuel is now the top issue in the U.S. and I will vote for the man that does something about it. So far that man aint Obama.

You are a person of questionable intellect if you believe this bull crap! The man did not even keep his promise!
Watch him in a pressure situation how he can not finish a sentence! Just a bunch of studdering and ERRs. The man can not think on his feet! He lies! He is a Socialist but I guess you are too!

The democratic party is a bunch losers. I do not need a 2nd term of Jimmy Carter. Your man is nothing but a crocked politican from Chicago. I do not drink his kool aid.

Liberals are not bound by their word, associations or record. All they need is the endorsement of the media and they miraculously emerge as the 'peoples choice'. This guy is a rank armature that can do no wrong and as yet, has done nothing right.

No comparison necessary! I guess Clinton did a good job on something but I don't know what! The attacks on 911 were planned and the training was done on his shift! The Cole was blown up on his shift! Come on, get a grip! Look at the mess he left! Rumpled stained dress, Botched attacks! He was another Carter, We don't need another one!

You aren't a Marine. HEY !!!! Everyone this jerk was given a chance numerous times to bring his DD-214 down to the radio studios of Steve Kane to prove he served his country. He never does. He has no DD-214. If he was in the Corps he was thrown out for a bad attitude. The guy never comes through. He doesn't have a job. He calls the radio station from a phone booth because the telephone company won't give him a phone. No credit history, or a bad one. He rides around on a stolen bicycle. No driver's license. He's a mess. He's probably sending this drivel to the SS from a stolen computer via free WiFi out in front of a Starbucks were he just drank the the remaining sip of coffee someone left on a table. He's homeless !!!!! A Mess. He wants OBoy OBoy Bameee to become Pres. because he thinks, and is right, that Bammeee will give him more welfare. This guy is a cock roach. Step on him next time yu see him.

If you were a Marine.... what was you MOS.? For you civialians a MOS is a Military Ocupation Specialist. I wonder if there is a federal statute that prohibits holding ones self out to be a member or ex member of the armed forces. I know you can't say you have the Congressional Medal of Honor if you are entitled to it. This lizard isn't entitled to anything especially the freedom to run his filthy mouth based on our sweat and sacrifice. Another lib whining and doing nothing for himself, counnrty, Corps. STFU U POS !!!! MOS buddy.......
