Farrakhan on Obama
"Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, another powerful Chicago-based political figure associated with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and other long-time associates of Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama, is leaving no doubt about what he thinks of the leader in the campaign for the White House.
He says when Obama talks "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
""You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.""

"An analysis of campaign finance records by The New York Times this week found nearly 3,000 donations to Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee, from more than a dozen people with apparently fictitious donor information. The contributions represent a tiny fraction of the record $450 million Mr. Obama has raised. But the questionable donations — some donors were listed simply with gibberish for their names — raise concerns about whether the Obama campaign is adequately vetting its unprecedented flood of donors."
"The questionable donations to the Obama campaign, most of which appear to have been given in small increments online, are bolstering the contentions of some campaign finance groups that additional disclosure requirements are needed for contributions of $200 or less."
" Roughly 70 percent of these contributions to Mr. Obama are not reported, compared with more than 75 percent of Mr. McCain’s."
"questioning the legitimacy of the more than $220 million in small donations to Mr. Obama’s campaign."

Did Obama give $800K to ACORN?

"Sen. John McCain on Friday accused his rival of being connected to a group it said was conducting voter fraud, calling for federal investigations and media inquiries into the progressive group ACORN and its ties to Sen. Barack Obama."
""ACORN is an organization that has violated the law on a repeated basis," Davis said. "Barack Obama has given $832,000 within the last year to an organization that is a front group for ACORN.""
"He alleged that Obama's campaign had paid $832,000 to a group called Citizens Services, Inc., which Davis labeled "a front organization" for ACORN. He accused Obama's campaign of initially trying to hide its payments to the group by labeling the payment "events services" in their disclosure forms."

My thoughts on the election
I am not in favor of McCain but given the liberal Democrats are going to be in control of congress, McCain is a better choice than Obama. What I like about McCain he is drive to control waste and corruption. Obama is an attractive man, a great speaker and his election might do a lot to heal race relations. But Obama appears to have a lot of radical/socialist friends. The socialist agenda would hurt the most innovative and growth generating part of our economy, the small business.
What I think is most important for this country in the future is the need for cheap energy. Obama and the liberal Democrats think green energy is more important, despite the higher costs. A McCain administration is more likely to drill for more oil and produce nuclear power plants. Both would advance the cause of renewable sources like wind and solar.
National security is another important issue. McCain has more experience in the areas of national defense. Obama would probably put a more likable face to rest of the world.
The liberals' main goal for the Presidency is to appoint Supreme Court justices. Because they want to rule from the bench, not the ballot box. The conservatives want justices to follow the Constitution and to create new law through congress and the states.
The Congress is in control of spending and taxes, and thus the economy. The President is in control of foreign relations A McCain administration would be checked by a Democratic Congress. An Obama administration would have no such constraints.
History has a way of changing the plans of the President. Bush wasn't in favor of national building until 9/11. Clinton wasn't in favor of welfare reform until he had to be.
The biggest fear is that an untested Palin would assume the Presidency. But in fact, she has as much experience as Obama. Plus she has two years of actually governing a state.
