As a Mormon I cannot support Romney because he does not live the teachings of the Gospel that I believe in and his political ideology is opposed to the the teachings of the Church and the scriptures. This is why I must support Barack Obama who will finally be able to bring hope to this nation and restore honor to this nation after Bill Clinton and George Bush.
Now, let me be clear that I intend to vote for Obama because his position on the issues ranging from abortion, same-sex marriage, the war in Iraq to many others are consistent with the gospel and the teachings of the Church I belong to. I don't always agree with Joe Vogel but on this one I can say that he has decided to support someone with the decency to stand for what is moral and to speak to real morality instead of the faux morality of most Republicans at this time in our history. Barack Obama unlike Mitt Romney stands up for what is right and I intend to cast my vote for someone who knows how to lead off on issues of what is moral and immoral.
IMPRESSIVE!
This is a good example of young people taking their country back. What we have here is a situation where a student is doing what the so called experienced people in the media should've been doing. Instead their talking about flag pins, somebody's last name and who's up and down.
When this book becomes available, I hope you will be kind to go to BarackObama.com blog and post a link of where it can be obtained. This will be a great tool to reach out to students. I hope you come up with a good strategy to market the book in Colleges nationwide.
"Obama stands up for morality" -- How can you say Romney does not live the teachings of the Gospel? That is the most judgmental and hypocritical, 'utah mormon' statement I have ever heard. Luckily you live in Utah and your vote won't count.
Go Ron Paul!
To Joseph Vogel and the Obama supporters. I hope you can get beyond your knee-jerk voting for the most liberal candidate who fills your youthful desire for rebellion and your imagination of an idealistic world with his flowery rhetoric. When you look at the issues, you will see that Mitt Romney is best suited to be president at this critical time in our nation. Romney has been a tremendous success at managing enterprises and pushing them forward and upwards. He has managed the Winter Olympics with thousands of employees and a multi-million dollar budget. He has managed government as the governor of a mostly Democratic state of Massachusetts. He is qualified in every way to be president of the United States. Obama was a short term Senator that lacks qualifications. Romney wants to, and is able to deal with the wars, health care, and government waste. There is no reason to believe that any person from Utah is voting for Mitt Romney because they are of the same religion. How ridiculous is this assumption. People support Romney simply because they believe he is best qualified to run the US government and fix some of our messes.
Barack Hussein Obama was raised as a Muslim. It's not simply what you may have heard that he went to a Muslim school for a couple of years, he was raised by his father as a Muslim. How can you dare to gamble that Obama as president would not give dangerous concessions to the Muslim world. Iran with nukes would probably be OK to an Obama presidency. Iran wants to blow up Israel. This is probably okay with Obama since Obama has been raised as a Muslim and attends a pro-Palestinian church that has demonstrated anti-semitism. It will be world war three in short order with Obama as president. Besides that, he wants to double our government payments to foreign countries and have socialized medicine. We will be bankrupt as a country before his term expires. He has pledged that a lot of our taxpayer dollars will be sent to Africa. African immigrants will flood in here as well. Help to Africa and legal immigration is ok but I think it is adequate at current levels. The two nicely written books that Obama has put out and captured John Vogels attention have proved to be fiction or embellished.
I like Obama. Had know idea he as a Muslim...will look at that. To say that he would start world war three, that has probably already happened. Bankrupt as a country, again that has probably already happened also. When we decided invade Iraq, we started the beginning of the end of America as we knew it. Bush has bankrupted our country morally, socially and financially! Get real people, the only why to see the light is to get your head out of your,,,,,,,,,OK?
Obama is not a Muslim, was not raised by Muslims, never went to a fundamentalist school - all slander. Obama was raised by an agnostic mother from Kansas, his absent father was an atheist from Kenya, and Obama took Christianity as his faith when he found family in the Christian community in a job as community activist for Christian churches. It was everything he learned with that community that anchored him in his adult life, led him to the wonderful wife and family he is so devoted to now. It's not very Christian to spread outright lies about a Christian brother, who's middle name is exactly what his father's name was, the very common Arabic name Hussein. Did you choose your name when you were born? Would you denounce your father's name because a dictator has it too? I have a Philippine American neighbor named Fidel, after his father, like Obama, not the dictator! Barack Hussein Obama is a mixed race black American Christian who loves his country enough to try to change it for the better. He could be making millions in corporate law; let the young lead us to be great again with Obama. I'll follow him!
Barack Obama is the right person for the job and since the youth are the future leaders of tomorrow, it is time our voices are heard in America.
l asked----who do the leaders send into iraq and iran to fight? The youth. we want to live also till we are 80 years old just like our leaders and their children.
We must object to stupid wars!!!!
Barack Obama was against the war in Iraq and now he is against invading Iran. vote for Obama to stop stupid wars. because he's got a good sense of judgement.
Obama '08
Barack Obama is not a Muslim, this seems to one of the what shall we call it untruths pushed from one camp!
AMERICA is waking up at long last, don't please blame it on knee jerk reactions from he Youth, it is across all groups, they are sick of the past and dynasty, how some candidates think is is their right to win the nomination.
Some of the European press and more so the UK National Media are now backing just one Democrat candidate, they can't believe the untruths and dirty tricks from one camp.
AMERICA wants CHANGE and needs HOPE only one candidate can deliver a UNITED States of America that is BARACK OBAMA whatever age group, sex, religion or race vote UNITED This Tuesday for OBAMA!
