Barack Obama’s book, “The Audacity of Hope,” has a appealing title. It has a taste of bravery mixed with full confidence. There’s nothing Pollyanna concerning this. I may well not support every part he tells, but he’s our president, and for me, he creates trust. Which will do more for a region than any amount of backroom deals. Hope gives us energy, and energy sustains us through trying times. Boy, we’ve had them. I’m from West Texas, and I did not vote for Bush. When McCain ran against Obama, I was a citizen of Arizona, but I gave audacious hope a chance. The fight for progress and laying the foundations of prosperity will not be over. I’ve come across the quips of those that don’t think Obama can make it. But step back a second. Would anyone have most of us fail in order to tarnish the star of an incumbent for whom they did not vote? Keeping our priorities straight, let’s work together with this president and build our future.

clarification (for Comrade Akhtar’s benefit)

second piece… I say “yes”, that makes the white man who joins the Klan a dirtball racist
my wording was a little vague I think.

New Party is a Socialist Dem. party. Obama joined it, was endorsed by it, and its views line up with his views. Just like Marx.

Nice try. If a white man joins the Klan, does that not make him a dirtball racist? I say “yes”, but I guess you’d defend that as well?

Obama’s pastor/mentor/friend Wright teaches nutcase theology where God must hate white people, otherwise black people cannot follow God. Fantastic. Let me guess, Obama’s beliefs have nothing to do with those of his friends/mentor/family, etc? It’s just coincidence that they all have the same/similar beliefs, including those evident in Obama’s book and his wife’s thesis.

Is it true that ignorance is bliss? Perhaps you should change your name, Osama Akhtar. How about Bliss Akhtar?

Conservatives must understand this is almost as important as the Presidential election. I did sent my donation to Chambliss as many others I know have from New Jersey. The Conservative turnout must be huge in order to insure this victory.

Bill- New Party?! Obama and ‘parties he joins’ have nothing to do with his views.

Republicans controlled Congress and the White House for six years and didn’t fix any of those problems.

I find it amazing that we now live in a world where hundreds of billions of dollars in deficits financed by borrowed money can be considered a “tiny” sum.

Could someone explain to me why it is not socialist when the government uses billions of dollars to buy ownership stakes in the banks? How is the TARP any different from GM bailout, or any other bailout, other than Bush endorsed the former and Obama the latter?

Adam Fogle- This is NOT 2006! I think it’ll take a miracle by CHAMBLISS to beat Martin. In a runoff election, the wave-candiadate with better ground, logistical, and communicative operations wins.

Therefore, Martin BEATS Chambliss 52-46..HANDS DOWN!

Bad loans pushed by DEMOCRATS, starting in the Clinton years (though legislated earlier).

Dumb people taking balloon mortgages they couldn’t refinance.

Flippers who couldn’t handle the extra mortgage when the house doesn’t sell as fast as they think.

Fannie & Freddie (Dem and particularly Obama connections are plentiful) run into the ground while congress looked the other way (Barnie Frank, thanks)

“Dave Walker” needs to brush up on facts. Bush’s overspending is tiny compared to the Dems pushing our country into a recession, and now offering up a socialist (yes, he is, look up the New Party, which he joined in Chicago) as President.

The One just needs to wink in Acorn’s direction, so some dead people show up to vote, then have all of his campaign people vote in GA, despite where they actually live (hey, these tactics worked in the general election!). Maybe throw in some illegal foreign contributions as well, just for good measure.

Realistically, I think that Chambliss should win in a walk.

In my dreams, I picture President-elect Obama taking a weekend for a bus tour from Rome to Savannah with Martin just before the election. I fantasize that the Obama grass roots organization would inject fresh energy and money into Georgia with an effective GOTV effort.

Back in reality, I understand that the odds against Martin are long. I see Obama wanting to remain above partisan frays as a “uniter.” And, I understand that transitioning to take over the government of a nation in economic crisis while fighting two extremely difficult wars should take up all of the President-elect’s time.

But, I can dream, can’t I?
