Discuss “Obama appears at Soldiers and Sailors”

Two weeks after Senator Hillary Clinton’s visit to Pittsburgh, Senator Barack Obama spoke to a similarly enthusiastic crowd of Pittsburghers who filled Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall on Friday to hear what the Illinois senator and presidential hopeful had to say. Obama has been campaigning intensely in Pennsylvania, as the state is important for the senator to win in order to receive the Democratic nomination.

Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) announced his endorsement of Senator Obama at Friday’s event.

It's a scandal that the DNC is allowing Obama to stonewall on counting the votes (or doing a re-vote) in FL and MI. Democrats in the state should not be penalized because the Republican FL & MI legislatures moved up the date of the primary--under what set of parameters is it permissible or justifiable to punish FL & MI democrats for an action over which they had no authority or control? In, Michigan as John Fout points out in “The Street” 4/1/08 (http://www.thestreet.com/story/10410164/1/electability-is-name-of-the-game.html)
Obama chose to remove his name from the ballot as part of his campaign's strategy to focus resources on South Carolina--Clinton was leading by double digits in both states. Florida is completely straight forward--both were on the ballot; Clinton won by a wide margin.

One can only imagine the hue and cry (not to mention the cries of racism) that would be meted out if Obama had been the victor in either of the states and "his" votes not counted. As it is, how can Obama argue that voters can't be disenfranchised (petitioning a judge to keep Cuyahoga County--an Obama stronghold 2 hrs extra voting time)--EXCEPT WHEN THEY"RE VOTING FOR CLINTON?
Lastly, of course, this tactics are not new to Obama--who secured his first state senate seat by the same kind of underhanded dirty politics.

Barack Obama is the person who can actually generate a real change in both mistaken policies: foreign and domestic driven by current President George Walker Bush and his Republican and oil's seeker administration headed by Dick Cheney nicknamed Halliburton.

We need a person who is not shy or ambivalent, in the other hand, visionary, that had taken brave and firm positions, as did Obama before starting the illegal invasion and subsequent no ending occupation of Iraq without the consent of the United Nations Organization Security Council, when he warned us of the possible consequences for the economy and the welfare of our society, which today are made each day more palpable.

Ask yourself: Have lowered the prices of fuel and gasoline since then? Has improved the economy and the family budget covers monthly espenses? Do you and your family feel safer at home, in your community, in schools, at airports, universities, Etc.. ,after they have crushed the phrase "National Security" time after time; and supposedly improved the safety of us creating the "Patriot Act" and the office of Homeland Security? Do Freedom and civil rights of citizens are better protected now with these measures and agencies Bush has created? Do you agree with the concept of pre-emptive war and tortures for extra-judicial interrogations in secret prisons in Europe and other parts of the world like in Guantanamo Bay's U. S. Naval Base and Abu Ghraib's jail ? Does the world have better perception of United States of America and ours athletes, tourists, students and residents in others countries feel more secure? Does the issue of immigrants is better served? Are there fewer children of Latino descent without parents? Are there more people possibilities to pay on time their mortgages and have safer homes? Are there more people with the right to access quality health care, or more than 47 million inhabitants are without that right, while making genocidal wars in the other hemisphere of the planet at trillions costs as well sending space's shuttles frequently?. Had improved education for all? In general, America's society, does feel more secure, without fear of terrorism after the war? If the answers to the above questions is a resounding NO. It must be and can be changed...

If you want this state of things does not reach a point of no return, you must exercise your right to vote in the Democratic primary and later in general election in nonovember by the only person that represents your feeling and hopes; that is Barack Obama. Perhaps this great opportunity of true change will never be presented to us again.

And, finally, support our troops by voting for the man that wants to bring them home soon. God Bless America!
