    usa of america regardless of each and every of the undesirable issues remains the suitable u . s . a . to stay in. like rasing a kin, education this is the suitable, its very almost an honor in a fashion that illegals are so desperate that they are prepared to return here risking their existence for a guess on the yank way of existence., and a terorist assault? come one you dont could problem approximately that happening any time quickly. or a conflict on American soil. usa of america is the only u . s . a . interior the international which could deliver its Millitary troops everywhere throughout the international...and we are nevertheless the main powerfull u . s . a . there is. Edit: approximately that education element. you may desire to have heard Japan and China saying they have larger math, and language grade or technology yet. its an easy actuality that they the two take in ordinary terms a definite score like in case you get under a 80% they dont count extensive type those grades so in case you dont meet a definite score they take it out and its under no circumstances confirmed. yet what they do coach is the grades that are very severe like 80 5% or what ever and greater.

    Change, for change's sake, is not necessarily good. if you were a straight "A" studne tin school, would you change your study habits? not if there was no benefit to it. Change may be a good thing, but it has to be PURPOSEFUL change, or its jus tmore of the same...

    So far, barack hasn't shared any of the "Focus" of his change..."A new direction in Iraq" is not sufficient to declare what the change is. what will be the new direction? what will be the new mission? those are specifics that need to be answered, and so far, i havent heard him say ANYTHING specific...

    that being said, he could debate McCain under a table...those debates could get ugly...Barack is, if nothing else, very polished and presents himself well...McCain comes across like Bill Bellicheat- a grumpy dwarf...McCain certianly needs to change his approach to a debate...

    man, can you think how nasty a debate between Hellary & McCain would be????

    btw- "1 Free American" said it perfectly....i'd rahter have an ineffective President for 4 years, than a dangerous one...

    He does have substance to his change platform. A change in direction in the war in Iraq. A change in the US health care system. A change in the education system. People who call his change message plattitudes (like McCain) just don't get the idea of change because their whole campaign is stay the course and get us further in debt. Change is needed to stop the Iraq war and fix the broken health care system and economy. Obama encourages people to want to change America for the better. I don't see the problem with that.

    He has the substance, problem is that he isn't focused on the GOP so much as Hilary. The problem that will destroy us democrats is the current in fighting we're having between our two major candidates. It's gonna be a close race that might tear us apart/

    If anyone is actually paying attention to what he says rather than just being inspired, no.

    Somebody is going to have to challenge him. The democrats and left media are just happy basking in his presence.
