I have read the comments and feel that many feel that the US is the "Land of Milk and Honey". It is not. We have over 40 million with no medical insurance and millions of homeless individuals. Over 200,000 military veterans are homeless. Some of us have a little honey but not all of us. I visited a homeless shelter recently and was shocked to learn that it did not open until 6 P.M Dinner was served and cots were made available in a single large room that resembled a gymnasium. At 4 A.M. all had to leave and there was no breakfast. Come back the next evening if you don't want to sleep under a bridge. Among the homeless were little children under the age of 3! The experts tell us that the Iraq war has already cost us 3 trillion dollars. That would provide a lot of 24 hour shelters. The far right in our country think that this is OK, you get what you deserve. This ignores the mentally and physically disabled. I say, shame onya right wingers! Obama is being cautious and moving to the "middle". If he wants to be elected, what choice does he have?

Themistocles,

great wisdom.

Obama will be a unique president.

An ineffective, populist, deceitful flip flopper. A bitsa, a cross between Kerry, Gore, Carter and Rudd.
