Obama is Harvard “uneducated” & worked in main street American communities, so he knows the problems we face every day. The alternative is McCain, who until a week ago thought our economy was sound. Palin isn’t much help, either, because as mayor, Wasilla had a surplus when she started & a deficit when she left. Her candidacy is just scarey! Is the mayor of Inverness or Brooksville qualified as VP? Those cities have a greater population than Wasilla! (Apologies to mayors of Inverness or Brooksville!) This is just the kind of diatribe we hear from the Republicans.
Suggest removalRepublicans fooled us once (shame on them); fooled us twice (shame on U.S.); now it’s up to U.S. - Open your eyes America!!

To those who like to spread their ignorance like Mr. James M who made comments about Obama being Uneducated… Seriously? have you seen who are current president is? oh wait , you probably helped re-elect him.
Suggest removalObama Graduated from Harvard Law; Magna ##### Laude with a JD.
Hmmm,
please stop spreading your ignorance.

Dale, Is an American racist any better? I checked snopes.com and I can’t find any percentages of lying by the candidates on that website. By checking Politifact, however, I did find that:
Suggest removalObama’s statements were 53% true; 30% partially true; and only 17% false.
McCain’s statements were only 40% true; 36% partially true; and 24% false. I believe America is really tired of seeing McCain and Palin repeat and repeat the same lies over and over again, even when the statements are shown to be completely untrue. I used to like McCain - but he has tarnished his reputation by his current behavior. No political race is worth that!
