  • Well, my mother told me, "Don't marry him until you see how he treats his mother". It seems that Obama holds his mother in high regard. Since she was the single mother raising him, he should have no problem relating and listening to working-class women.

  • Why is it that Senator Obama has to prove himself? He was raised by a single mother and Midwestern grandparents, how were the women and you also raised? Why aren't you asking the same of John McCain? Damn, you people are beginning to sound like Faux Noise, maybe you are going into the profit business.
