Obama

America is grossly hated by most of the rest of the world thanks to our current administration. He's darned if he does and darned if he doesn't. It all starts with one step. If you sit back and do nothing then NOTHING is what gets accomplished. McCain needs to get his butt over there too. I'm all for trying something!

B.O.

B.O. is a very good speaker and that is all he is. He has no plan (other than to enrich himself, family, and friends ala Rezko, Blago, et al). Right now he's spouting off about how we have to unite with Europe to fight terror. Wow, how vague and generalized that message is. Haven't we all been saying that since 9/11 of 2001? Please give me a break. He is not the Messiah, come to save the world.

suburban life should be ashamed

As a social scientist, it is disgusting to see a question like this passed off as a "poll." A "political stunt?" What does that even mean? Obama is a politician. Should he not be doing things that are "political?" It was a "stunt?" Meaning it was not, what, real? Legitimate? There were two other members of congress on the trip. Was that a "political stunt?" This is a ridiculous question responded to by less than 150 people, yet it shows up in the paper with just percentages of people responding.

I don't fault the xenophobes for thinking that since Barack Hussein Obama has a name they don't like that we should be afraid. I do fault the Suburban Life for posing such a leading and unhelpful question and publishing the results with absolutely no context to the "poll."
