Barack Hussein Obama Jr. (yes, his middle name is "Hussein", something he likes to hide, for obvious reasons). With a last name of "Obama", one can see why (similar name to the world's #1 terrorist and genocide dictator both in his name).
Anyway, other than his terrorist and genocide dictator pedigree, he claims to be the candidate for "change". Actually, that's all he really campaigns on, "Change". When people vote for him, they will be looking for this guy named "Change" instead of a terrorist genocide dictator "Hussein Obama". But, looking at his voting history in Congress shows he's nothing more than a rank and file Democrat that simply votes along party lines 97% of the time. He claims to be able to bring Democrats and Republicans together yet votes almost perfectly along party lines (more so than any other Senator). You can read the full story at the above link.
For there to be change, the Presidential candidate should have real voting experience in voting for what is right, not what is popular with his party. Hussein Obama does what is popular with his party, not what is right. However, a Senator who does have a long history of voting for what is right and going against the party is John McCain. John McCain votes for what is best for the people, not what will make him popular with his party (like Hussein Obama). John McCain is an outcast for the Republican party because he's not a lap dog that does what he's told, like Hussein Obama does. When the Democrat party says "fetch" Hussein Obama fetches.
So, if you want someone who will really move towards change, it's John McCain. Hussein Obama voting record show's he's not about change at all, but just politics as usual. That, and Hussein Obama's inexperience show that Hussein Obama is nothing more than a thin veneer of marketing on top of a politics as usual interior.
Also, one must question his "against the war" position. First, he loves to say he was against the war since the beginning. Well, he wasn't in Congress at the time it was voted on so it's easy to say he would have voted the now popular way. But, as a rank and file Democrat, with 97% of his votes along party lines, he probably would have voted along with most Democrats (his voting history shows this is how he votes). Also, with an obvious Muslim name, with a Muslim father and step father, living in a Muslim country as a child, and going to Muslim school, you must question the reason why he's against a war with a Muslim State. Will Hussein Obama be able to do what's required if there's another terrorist attack? Do we want someone from Muslim pedigree and Muslim teachings the commander and chief of our military?

We had begun to think it would take 500 years to emulate Gottlieb System 1...
But thanks to an anonymous MAACA member, we finally got good reads of the
bios chips and they are now emulated.
Get our your cards and backgammon boards, lucky Buck is back!

'Monthly sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 in Japan topped the Nintendo Wii for the first time since the gaming consoles debuted late last year, according to a November survey.
In the four weeks ending Nov. 25, Sony Corp. sold 183,217 PS3s in Japan, while Nintendo Co. sold 159,193 Wii consoles, market researcher Enterbrain reported Friday.
Sony slashed the price of the PS3 with a 20-gigabyte hard drive by about 10 percent to 44,980 yen ($409) from 49,980 yen ($454). Another model, with a 60-gigabyte drive, saw its price fall from 60,000 yen ($545) to 54,980 yen ($500).'
The PS3 price cut, coupled with Nintendo not being able to keep up with demand for the Wii means that Sony tops the Japanese home console charts for a month, but will it last?
The Wii has sold 3.78 Million since its debut in Japan & the PS3 has sold a surprisingly small amount in comparison - 1.45 million, but spare a thought for poor old Mircosoft, they have yet to break a million sales in Japan with just 0.5 million Xbox 360s sold.
