in Wrong From the Beginning on The Washington Independent

First let me apologize for any grammatical errors.
I am recently became an American Citizen and I am still learning the English language.
My mother use to say:
"The worse blind is the one which does not want to see".
The sad thing about all this situation (Presidential Elections 2008) is that…after all is done… (Obama wins)…people are gone say: What happened? I was so sure!
He sounded so good!
To good to be true!
This is what I have to say...To much talk...Who is him? Do you really know Obama? Two years in the Senate…campaigning…that’s all!
Promises…He says what people want to hear!
We all gone pay a very high price for this big mistake we (you) are getting yourselves in…
Open your eyes people!
Study the situations…get informed…Don’t believe in promises!
Look at the person! Their precedent…
Don’t you know that “were there’s smoke there’s fire?”
We should be more prudent with our choices…
We leave in a very dangerous world…very dangerous…
Look at the history of this world!
We are all living in a “lalala” world, not taking in consideration that bad people are out there, and they are planning right now, as we speak, to kill us!
Even if it takes 100 years…They will succeed!
And do you want to know why!
JUST BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND…AND DEAF!
BE CAREFUL…AND… GOOD LUCK!
God bless you all!

The Italian edition of Vanity Fair said that it had found George Hussein Onyango Obama living in a hut in a ramshackle town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.
Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.
"No-one knows who I am," he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."
According to Italy's Vanity Fair his two meters by three meters shack is decorated with football posters of the Italian football giants AC Milan and Inter, as well as a calendar showing exotic beaches of the world.
Vanity Fair also noted that he had a front page newspaper picture of his famous brother - born of the same father as him, Barack Hussein Obama, but to a different mother, named only as Jael.
He told the magazine: "I live like a recluse; no-one knows I exist."
Embarrassed by his penury, he said that he does not does not mention his famous half-brother in conversation.
"If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he said.
For ten years George Obama lived rough. However he now hopes to try to sort his life out by starting a course at a local technical college.
He has only met his famous older brother twice - once when he was just five and the last time in 2006 when Senator Obama was on a tour of East Africa and visited Nairobi.
The Illinois senator mentions his brother in his autobiography, describing him in just one passing paragraph as a "beautiful boy with a rounded head".
Of their second meeting, George Obama said: "It was very brief; we spoke for just a few minutes. It was like meeting a complete stranger."
George added he was no longer in contact with his mother and said:” I have had to learn to live and take what I need.
"Huruma is a tough place, last January during the elections there was rioting and six people were hacked to death. The police don't even arrest you they just shoot you.
"I have seen two of my friends killed. I have scars from defending myself with my fists. I am good with my fists."

Shirley To aneschneeman,
Obviously you are only believing what you hearm abd have apprently chosen to be dumb and blind, too You have not studied.. You need to have the good sense to research before you make statements you assume to be true. Obama had several years in the Illinois State Senate prior to coming to the U.S. Senate. He has drafted and worked on legislaiton to aide our veterans who were paying for meals and telephone calls home while in VA Hospitals. There are numerous who can tell you how Barack Obama worked hard and diligently to better their lives when there was no cameras on him. He worked several years in the trenches of less fortunate neighborhoods. McCain on the other hand has lived a life of privilege and only chosen to support the rich, large companies and his cronies. He is a mean-spirited spoiled brat who never put either wife, family, nor country before his own greed and ambition. He has an uncontrollable temper and should never be in charge of anything or anyone. Additionally, he should be labled a traitor for what he did while a POW.

Kady That was a stupid post. and believe me, people with even the lowest proficiency level in English would not make the errors you have made, confusing the cases for your personal pronouns and using "were" instead of "where". And "we all gone pay a high price...?" Try another excuse my friend.

After all that, your post makes no sense in any language.

Reba janeschneeman,
One would have to be blind and deaf to believe that you are a new American citizen who is still learning the English language. Fraud is not the right line of work for you.

Rose Well janeschneeman, I'm a natural born U.S. citizen and I speak English as a first language. Your mother was right. The worst kind of blind are Republicans who are blind to the fact that McCain is not the person he says he is. You say where there's smoke, there's fire. Well, there's plenty of smoke in John McCain's background(Keating5 scandal)! People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. That's an old saying in the English language. John McCain lives in a glass house(or should I say houses?). He's a desperate old coot that has started throwing stones.

Fitz He's been running for president for two years, or more, how the fuck! you don't know who Obama is?
You either work for the Mcsame campaign , or ur an Idiot. Either one makes you a DICK!

David Your comment could just as easily apply to Sarah Palin and John McCain. What do you know about them? What have they done that makes them so much better a choice than Barack Obama and Joe Biden? They have been spewing nothing but hate and anger. They have not put forth a solid plan for what they want to do to guide America out of this financial crises. The only plans that McCain has articulated are cutting taxes to the wealthy and taxing health care benefits of the poor and middle class. How is that going to help? He also wants to dig for more oil. Well, no oil will be produced for another 7 to 10 years. How is that going to help right now? Palin lacks the intellectual capacity to hold the office of vice president or president. She can barely string a sentence together when asked a basic question about something she herself said "I have foreign policy experience because of how close Russia is to Alaska." That is pathetic. The audacity to accuse Obama of lack of experience from her is beyond all things rational. Her experience as the mayor of a town of 5,000 does not qualify her to be vice president or president. The mayor of my city has a constituency of millions, but he is an idiot. I would never vote for him to be president or vice president...and he is a democrat. McCain is an angry, rude, cantancerous old man who needs to retire, go on long vacations and spend his wife's money. Palin needs to return to Wasilla and tend to her rapidly growing family. Perhaps she can demonstrate some leadership skills that she can use to raise her children. They are crying out for her. The phrase should not be "country first" it should be "family first". She had failed miserably in that regard.

Marv.... janeschneeman,

You should try reading more, it' will help your writing. Honestly, I don't believe you are from another country. I think you’re a Republican who lacks writing skills to match your undeveloped reading skills. Case in point, if you would pick up a newspaper, you would understand that Obama was a State Senator before coming to Washington. He (Obama) has been in the game for over 10 years. Nevertheless, good shot at trying to pass yourself off as a foreigner to mask your underdeveloped writing skills. You should be siding with Obama to support our public education system. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Reframe from posting comments until you have educated yourself on the issue under discussion, or post question where someone can assist you with factual information.
