1. Nice pics of Barack out campaigning with the people.

I m not sure how he plans to bring change that we are asking for. Specifically the end to this war. Health care for us. Equal treatment for all Americans- Those who are ill with hiv are not sinful..I have not heard any thing that makes me hear change.

6. The way I interpret his "change" message

is he will change the way politics is conducted at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. Instead of separating parties, both in the government, and throughout the united state, he will try to better unite both parties to work towards making this a better country by incorporating new ideas, new trends, etc.

I think change means that we are all people, and will not be looked down upon because of age, sex, race, political affiliation, or religion.

I think he will change the way we are viewed abroad in the world community.

And when we have talks with other countries, we will be talking with them, not down to them and not acting unilaterally.

Change, that we can have a president that we can put more faith into than in recent administrations. A president that might actually have the peoples best interest in mind when making decisions.

The fact that he is black, I think would be huge change. That would be a major step toward civil rights in our country and could bring the african american and white communities closer than ever. Actually, I feel that has already started.

Obama has targeted the young demographic which in itself is major change. Having young people actually excited about politics and wanting to get involved. Many people have failed at achieving that. And its not just the kids, older folk that have been disgusted with their government actually feel motivated to give it another try.

I have heard many of his speeches and thats what I get from them.

Obama said he will set a date to end this war. He wants to show Iraq that he means business and is serious about getting the troops out of there. And by setting a date, Iraq will need to take responsibility for its country knowing that we will be leaving. Of course, we could leave before that date, or after. It depends on the situation at the time. But he is willing to set a date, Hillary is not.

3. Thanks for your good efforts.

I would like his campaign to show more of him with the common people, like in some of your pics. I think they forget that so many out there just don't know him yet. People in this country have had years to know the Clintons. All those pics of Obama just show how he GETS IT---he IS one of us, the campaign really needs to show that more.

I got to meet and talk with him briefly, back during his IL Senate campaign, and
his brilliance,warmth and humanity was really overwhelming. I am not a youngster either. I am a retired Grandma who has seen a lot of Democratic politicians over the years-- as I have worked in campaigns since Jack Kennedy when I was 15.

Obama is amazing.
