Only problem U.S. doesn’t have 57, but…Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization grouping fifty seven states which have decided to pool their resources together, combine their efforts, and speak with one voice to safeguard the interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all Muslims in the world. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BOYCOTT CNN &amp;amp; MSNBC for manipulating the Presidential election with the biased pushing of obama before researching. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.dontvoteobama.net"&gt;http://www.dontvoteobama.net&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VOTERS DEMAND Obamas tell America about their relationship with Ayers, Gadaffi Syrian tycoon, Antoin Rezko, Saudi Arabian Scheiks and Nadhami Auchi, Iraqi billionaire, global arms dealer who was best friends with Saddam Hussein, and the main financial backer for Saddam's Iraqi -Saudi oil pipeline, and stood trial with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Qasim. VOTERS are concerned why CNN &amp;amp; MSNBC refuse to question those relationships, coupled with Obama’s 20 plus yrs with Rev. Wright shows a serious pattern, which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really HATE U.S of America. If you question him or his values or policies, you’re part of the “divisive, distracting” practices voters associate with Washington. Them’s the Obama Rules. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama’s chief political adviser David Alexrod on National Public Radio claimed white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter, white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, This is not new WE don’t need or rely solely on those votes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama wants to impose 20% tax on cost of Barrel Of Oil Above $80 which again drives up Cost Of Gasoline On Americans! why doesn’t Obama Acknowledge Fuel Costs For Truckers Hurt The American Consumer? Increasing Cost Of Everything Including Food, Retail, And Manufactured Goods.&lt;/p&gt;

Your trade is and must remain impartial and objective reporting[traits which most of you have abandoned during this campaign]. Ted Strickland supported Hilary Clinton and did all he could to damage Obama. He does not deserve any consideration for the VP by Obama nor is Obama obligated to consider only those who sought his political demise.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wow, Obama, what a loser! How is he suppose to run a country without knowing her fundamental components?! Obama should consider passing the US Citizenship test before running another foolhardy campaign to lead this country. The only world that Obama can lead the US, is Post-American world, where China and Russia share #1 spot and US trails far far behind.&lt;/p&gt;

Obama is not a Muslim. I happen to have Caribbean roots and as an Obama volunteer I have experienced a voter accusing me of being a Muslim. When I denied it and told her I was a Methodist she insisted my accent was Muslim! Now tell me isn’t this the same as saying someone’s accent is Christian? Without being patronizing we have to be aware that those of us less educated with very little exposure are far more easily manipulated, especially when the distortion comes from a source that is known and respected. Deeply steeped in the status quo there is resentment to change, blinded to the progress that can only be obtained through change, it is fought with tenacity and sometimes hate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The media may show a preference at times but they are not the only ones voting. Obama is ahead because he enjoys majority support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Compared to McCain and the Clintons Obama is squeaky clean. Ask McCain about Hagee, his spiritual advisor, whose endorsement McCain sought; and while you are at it determine his rhetoric. His potency reduces pastor Wright to soft drinks status.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With respect to connections and affiliations please take a look at Bill Clinton and his PAID involvement in the Middle East, closer to home you can follow the Peter Paul case in California… and the list goes on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every vote matters, however in any election you get to know your strengths and weaknesses. Whilst you will try to improve in areas in which you are weak, your focus will always be on your strengths especially if they are strong enough to put you in the lead. This is not to say all areas are not important, just that in anything you must prioritize.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With respect to the tax credit proposed by McCain and Hillary this is pork barrel politics and shameful pandering. In fact it is an insult to the electorate’s intelligence. It is estimated that you would save anywhere between $30 -$70. &amp;nbsp;This benefit to you would deplete the govt. coffers of $10B required for the essential maintenance of roads and bridges and could cost lay off of 300,000 jobs. As a trucker it is imperative you have safe roads on which to travel and your fellow man is not deprived of work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I support Obama because of his honesty, integrity and statesmanship. The change he advocates is necessary, important and requires urgent implementation to put us back as world leader and recover the trust and respect that we have so carelessly thrown away. Do not fight it. Join us!&lt;/p&gt;

My assessment is as such that before Mr. Obama makes a decision for a V.P. cadidate, he should consider Mrs. Clinton for that post. She has shown tenasity and toughness in the primary and for that reason she should be an asset winning in those battleground and swing States. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to win in November against John Mccain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Mrs. Clinton is not persuaded for the V.P. position, than the Obama campaigne should consider Edward G. Rendell, the popular Governor of Pennsylvania to be his running mate. Mr. Rendell is a coalition builder as he has shown in Pennsylvania working with both the Republicans and Democrats in the State. He will be very helpful winning the State of Pennsylvanis as he has shown in the primary winning the election for Mrs. Clinton. If it were not for Gov. Rendell, Mrs. Clinton's margin of victory would have been lower than that what she had achieved. If this time around in the general election, Mr. Rendell can deliver even larger victory for Mr. Obama. He will be able to win for those rural voters that Mr. Obama lost to Mrs. Clinton in the primary. Plus, Mr. Rendell's natural ability to fund raise for Obama campaign. Also, he is well liked among the Democrats in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I should advice the Obama campaign to give a serious look to Gov. Rendell's V.P. candidacy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You do know that Obama graduated from Harvard Law right? &amp;nbsp;Also, how alert would you be if you have been campaigning around the clock for 15 plus months. &amp;nbsp;I'm sure you went to sleep last night but you still came up with the above comment. &amp;nbsp;There is nothing about Obama or his supporters that speaks of anything less than excellence.&lt;/p&gt;
