Obama and McCain Don't Alma Matter Anymore

Any high school would be elated to have an alumni running for president -- but the alumni news sections of Obama and McCain's respected high school web sites have no mention their former student's little election square-off today.

But here are few tidbits you can find on their HS websites:

Barack Obama graduated in '79 from Punahou School, where he was on the "Varsity A Basketball" state championship team during his senior year and was nicknamed "Barry."

John McCain was in the class of '54 at Episcopal High School, where he held the "EHS wrestling record for the 'Fastest Pin' for nearly two years" and was nicknamed "Punk."

31. 30. well I did my civic duty and voted for the man I know about, and the one I trust my money, family's safety and well being of this great country of ours.

I know nothing about Obama, and refuse to let someone I don't know control MY government. I am hoping that after all the votes are counted, the media starts to dig deeper into this man, who has moved to different countries, changed his name, changes alliances, ect, so if he runs again, we (the American people) can truly know who and what we are voting on. I want to know all about the person I am voting for, not just what comes out of their mouth.

May experience and common sense guide us today, with the help of our Lord.

GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!

34. The worst part of an Obama win will be having racist pig Oprah squealing for the next 4-8 years...

35. to# 35 Oprah is a respected and intelligent woman. Can you say the same? She's not racist. She gave brand new vehicles and other gifts to 98% white audience members and helped launch successful careers of many whites making them millionaires. How many racists would do that?!!! Are you the racist?!!!!

FRIENDS OF BARBADOS, UK AND CANADA SAY GO OBAMA!!!!!

39. george w bush ran this country into the ground, we had a surplus when clinton was in office but now thats gone and then some. McCain follows the same policies and views george w bush has, why would you vote someone who will continue to run this country down into the ground and does shady business with other countries behind closed doors? John McCain does not have what it takes to lead and he's very old, he chose a running mate who doesn't even follow his policies and is out of her mind. The real reason people don't want Obama in office is because he is a black man and their are many racist people in the u.s. who cannot except it even though he would clearly make a great president. It's sad people would rather hold on to their racism and let this country continue down the horrible path bush started us on. though people won't admit it they would rather have a white man that will drag this country down than a black man who will fix it. Truly ignorant

41. His name was Barry in his Indonesian school records and his religion was listed as Islam. He later changed his name to Barack. "Barak" was the name of the horse that the prophet Mohammed supposedly leapt into heaven on. It is sometimes spelled "Buraq."

Remember the election in 2006, when you wanted change?
Almost two years ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006,
we have seen these changes:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity
value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.

Meanwhile, our President has successfully protected all
Americans from the tragedy of a repeat of September 11. For that,
the Democrats, by their lies and deceptions, have led the public,
assisted by their propaganda arm - the liberal media, to blame him
for Democrats' treason causing the economic meltdown, so that they
could bride those who don't work and don't contribute in any
meaningful way to better the lives of all Americans for their vote.

And lest you also forget, it was Clinton, who not only
sold national security information to the Chinese, but violated
the Constitution and the foundation of our entire system of
justice - truth. He escaped justice at the hands of his fellow
Democrats. So much for the reality of justice for all!

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Do you think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

Many have accepted the liberal propaganda hammered into
them, that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.
Certainly, spending on the war on terror is one factor, and America's
strategy for the future needs adjustments, but absent the defense of
our homeland, all other considerations are moot. There is before us a
choice of a retired Navy captain, who was a prisoner of war, and a
person who has no experience, no familiarity with, and questionable
loyalty to the military. Thinking, rational Americans understand that
our President is also our Commander-in-Chief.

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary
school education for children here illegally, and taxpayers are
forced to teach them English or hire Spanish speaking teachers.

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American
born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6 $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.

13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 billion in salaries
back to their countries of origin.

14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million
sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the U.S.

The total cost is $338.3 billion dollars a year compared to
an estimated $600 billion spent in Iraq to keep those who
would attack us on our soil focused there. How much did 9/11
costs us, not just in property, but in lives and freedom? We
can close our borders, but we can't ignore those bent on
our destruction and the annihilation of our closest ally in
the Middle East - Israel.
