Well iwould just like to say that senator obama is most certainly 4 change im so sick and tired of the old bush and pull game that it makes me want to run from the president.all that ive been promised since i started voting was that everything wouldnt be so hard on the american people but yet and still 25 years later im still trying to make it ashore from the last president.but in my heart of all hearts i know that senator obama is 4 change and there will be change!

Does anyone remember the slogan that was on one of the red-eye signs for Obama -- It was so great, but I forgot what it was.... It had Obama's name as part of a word. It was Obama, not Barak.

Thanks
