You want to know the truth of why she shifted from Democrat "What's best for Americans" to more of the Same, well Here you go:

The very affluent, don't want to be taken out of their exisiting tax privilaged bracket...

Here is the lowdown on Obama. First using the Philadelphia debate as a reference, I think he is not so intelligent as many believe. The questioners gave him hard questions that would have allowed him to answer the negative coverage about his associations and he answered with a slow, halting delivery that is the mark of slower thinkers. The next day he did the dusting off the shoulders bit trying to say that he had been treated unfairly treated. He is running a long ago planned dream of his to be President of the United States and his motives are murky. I think one motive is just to prove that he can. He just may pull it off and too bad for us. I am sure that he does not love the country as he now says. I hate the Republican Party but if forced I would vote for McCain over Obama. By the way I now deeply dislike the party that I have always supported, the Democratic Party.

I just wathced McCain blame Obama for the ongoing demise of the financial markets. It appears that, as an entrenched 'Washington insider', Obama is part and parcel of a culture of greed, overrrun with reckless, self-interested lobbyists. Wow, who knew?

But wait! Isn't it true that McCain, with over 20 years in the Senate, is himself is the actual Washington insider? Was he not, just a few short weeks ago, asserting that Obama lacked the requisite "experience" to lead the country, because he had not been in D.C. long enough?

And by the way folks, isn't the McCain campaign being run by lobbyists as we speak? These are the same genre of people who led us to the shameful mess in which we currently find ourselves.

At some point, all intelligent Americans have to ask: How clueless are we perceived to be, that they would lie to us in such a bold-faced fashion? And then cast your vote.

Seems perfect timing for an "Original" Elite name such as Rothschild to be stirring this fire.

Let's just hope that the intelligent people will outnumber the stupid ones this election.

Let's also hope that the nerds are on our side and keep the cheaters from hacking the voting machines this time.

Let's keep hoping that people like sb are big fat idiots like Rush Limbaugh and hurry up and eat themselves to death or overdose on whatever drug they abuse.

Let's hope that Obama wins and once again demonstrates that this country thrives when Democrats are in control and is downtrodden when Republicans are running rough shod.

When will we learn from history? Hoover, Reagan, Bush, Bush Jr. all bad, bad bad! FDR, JFK, Clinton, Obama: Greatness. The Repugs just hate it that their guys are never great.

Keep hope alive -- vote Obama '08!

And what is even worse is that Americans are so far down the hole that we are so anti-intellectual that we don't want to have a leader that knows a thing or two about the rest of the world beyond our shores, one who has gone to an IVY LEAGUE (and so have members of the Japanese Imperial Family), has shown MANY TIMES that he gives a crap about this country and it's people.

But yet, we want someone we can have a beer with.

That someone that we could have a beer with is the reason why roughly 4,000 kids are DEAD, we're right on the brink of the second Great Depression, and we're just in a total state of hell.

I'm an elitist. I'll let anyone know that. And I'm one for good reason. Americans are insanely, mindnumbingly STUPID.

Oh please spare us the he's an elitist but I'm only with the richest family in the world baloney.

Why is everyone assuming the Barack was an afirmative action entrant at Harvard. It has been written several times in the NYT, WSJ, and WaPo that he did not list his race on his Harvard application. So please explain how that make him affirmative action? Have any of you considered that he was older than many of his peers because he worked for several years prior to taking the LSAT and applying to Harvard. Many school consider your life experience as important as your academic record.

Wake up people! Don't be so rigidly biased that you can't see the forest for the trees!!!

I watched on the internet and the TV each of Lady de Rothchilds' comments. I was my perception that as a life long Democrat, given a choice, before Hillary conceded the primary in June, that she CHOSE Hillary over Barack. American value at work, exercising your choice AND putting your money where your mouth is. Now that the primary process is over, there are two candidates in the race, Obama and McCain. As before, she has the RIGHT to chose a candidate to support. Now as then, she is putting her money and her mouth behind her beliefs. I did not perceive an air of elitism from her comments, but rather a well founded, deeply personal review of the two candidates and made a choice. She could have kept her voice and money out of the general campaign process, and nobody would raise an eyebrow. But NO!! A woman with enough money to calm Wall Street single-handedly comes forward and proclaims support for the the candidate of her choice, (to borrow from Gov Palin,"she accepted the (implied) challenge of the campaign) and the hatriolic attacks that she is sure to face from the Dems. I believe that like John McCain, lady de Rothschild chose to put her Country First. Country must ALWAYS come first, before party allegience, sometimes even family.
Consider that Gov. Palin's only son CHOSE to join the the greatest Army in the world, in support of his country, knowing that he is the only son of Todd and Sarah Palin who will also be called upon to pass the family name down to the next generation. Country First. How many of our fallen heroes were only sons who chose to put Country First. They are not the one who can speak with their money or command an on-camera interview to express their concern for Country First, rather they express it in their actions. They CHOSE to "Support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic..." Defending the Constitution includes defending the right of Free Speech and assembly.

the fact of the matter is I too graduated with honors and worked hard to accomplish all. I can also realize that a non-minority with the exact same record (at the time that I went to school) would have been bypassed for no other reason than the fact that I met the "minority" standard. I would gladly release all of my academic records, as it seems you will too. My concern is that Sen Obama is able to talk the talk...yet it is impossible for us to find out any of his academic record.

If one is too cast a stone...then should they not also be receptive to a stone being casted. It would not be impossible for Sen Obama to have his records released. Much has been made in the Media about education...which is good. But, there are many (like current President Bush) that also received an education from the finest of institutions, yet their actual performance was average. So as many previously on this blog have indicated...let us get deeper into the discussion about how much Smarter Sen. Obama is and let's look further into his education.

Texasmom, I am a black female who graduated from USC. I had a 4.00 going in. It was not easier for me. It was hard, socially and academically. It was very competitive. I studied all hours, graduating with a 3.8 and received a coveted writing award. I earned every piece of recognition I received. I just needed the opportunity. Don't undercut people who work hard to get where they are going. We exist. It is sad that you are brainwashed and cannot see that foremost your minority status enriched the student body. Exposure to other cultures was the only kind of education some people received in early America. People of every culture have something to offer. Personally, I want someone in the white house who has an even more refined education than I do. There is much to know about the world and world history, outside of Alaska.

To SB, who said "[W]ould a white have survived as a faculty on the roster [of Harvard] for more than 3 years without even a single publication?" Many whites have survived doing very little to get to their good positions in life. You are saying that he did not deserve to be President of the Harvard Law Review, and that he got there through affirmative action. That is flatly untrue. What a biased little jerk you are. The man is the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. which means he obviously did not miss an opportunity that you claim was important. You are just wrong at every turn. Of the two running for office, Obama writes many of his own speeches. And guess what dufus? All of the candidates read from teleprompters. Obama just comes across more genuine, because he is genuine. I doubt very much you went to Harvard. If you did, I can tell by your resentment that YOU are one of the underachievers, not Obama.
