That afternoon and the next day He rewrote the entire draft, He told Sumner,""I know very well that the name connected with this document will never be forgotten"."Abe had outrages pressure, from all over, including His wife. He dipped his pen in an inkstand, held the pen in the air over the paper, and hesitated, looked around, and said:"I never,in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right, than I do in signing this paper". Later He was accused of being selfish, Lincoln said,"There are no emoluments that properly belong to patriotism. I brought nothing with me to the White House, nor am I likely to carry anything out". We all must be brave and take a stand. All beginnings are difficult, yet walking into the unknown is growth. Your mind was made for discovery, not repetition, McCain is protecting the past, Obama protecting the future. Jefferson, "the earth is made for the living, not for the dead". McCain is still fighting his loss in Vietnam, wishes not to have a second loss, Iraq. Knowing how to shoot a gun, doesn't make a good President or Vice President, Chaney shooting his friend in the face, friendly fire. The nation can't live by war alone, or the mantra of fight, fight, fight. 72 year old cancer patient reliving Vietnam, looking exhausted, stiff and robotic, with a Vice President that has 3 kids at home which include a down syndrome infant, that needs breast feeding for the first year, read the brain studies, your heart will go out to that infant. She has an unmarried, pregnant 17 year old, and another girl about 4, 19 year old to the army, I like to see His school grades, Other than military, what other options were looked at. My time, the kids that couldn't make it, went to military or Police. Both a no brainer at 19 years old, maybe He'll get caught, like McCain, and start a political career. There is very little here that makes sense, or gives one confidence, that these two,(Palin&McCain), know what there doing. I'll vote Obama, just because he didn't kill anyone and isn't screaming fight fight,Mac, at 72 He should know better, He didn't learn much in that pow camp, least of all those qualities for President.I suggest vote for the least harmfull, you know that One over there, the One that hasn't killed. Reasonable intelligence, move forward with Obama, or relive the past. The choice is ours, a new beginning sounds great! thankyou.

It was 57, not 56 that Obama supposedly said (I never saw it.) Obama was an Illinois senator when he bought that house. (He spent 7 years in that job, which repubs don't count as "experience,"but I do.) And his wife makes a lot of money herself, so they could afford it. They couldn't afford the adjacent lot that came with the house, so he sold it to Rezko's wife. It does NOT mean Rezko financed Obama's house for him! Trying to create something sinister about Obama going on vacation to Pakistan with his college "roommates" is a stretch. Obama's major was political science with a specialty in INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. I admire that he has traveled to many countries. It gives him special insight on how to deal with foreign countries. McCain sees all foreigners as enemies and thinks all problems can be solved with war. That's the scariest thing about him! While Obama studied international relations and constitutional law in college, McCain goofed off in the Naval Academy, partying like Animal House, breaking all the rules. He even got captured because he broke a rule, disobeyed a command to return to the carrier, and just had to make an extra pass over N.VietNam! He's a maverick alright--one who couldn't follow orders, one who always bucks the rules! Jean, don’t speak of “facts” when you don’t have them.

I think you are misguided by the biased liberal media. I know I am not dancing with the devil but God watch over you if this man gets into the White House. P.S. Palin is not inciting riots, she is telling the truth about Obama and you are all afraid to hear the truth. You don't think it was hateful for people to say her daughter gave birth to Sarah's new baby boy and the Palin's were trying to hide it. That is hateful.

The point is that all of us live in dangerous and unstable times. To think that inciting a mob is the same as calling someone's credibility into question is ludicrous. It is so very easy to point and blame the messenger. What has become of the people who populate this country? Is it really possible for so-called right thinking people to desire power so freatky that there is nothing that they will not do? For shame on Sarah Palin and for shame on Jean for not recognizing that she is dancing with the devil!
