Obama impressed me so much the first time I saw him speak, what a graceful, well spoken man, I thought, and speaking for change! What a relief! That is something no American can argue with -- our government certainly needs to change their ways!

I eagerly read his books, "Dreams of My Father," and, "The Audacity of Hope." What a cool, inspiring title for a book. What a good writer!

However, being the voracious reader that I am -- and always ready and willing to hear both sides of the story -- I picked up another book. Not Jerome Corsi's book, "Obama Nation." I had the idea where he was going, considering what his book "Unfit for Command" did to John Kerry. No, not that author.

Obama can call Corsi a bigot and a liar if he likes. He has a bigger problem with an author from Columbia University who wrote "The Case Against Barack Obama," a very disturbing book.

In contrast, I read Hillary's "Living History," and the rebuttal, Morris' "Rewriting History" -- I still like Hillary. She is an admirable powerhouse of a woman. Obama though, who cares what color his skin is when he votes against a ban of "infanticide by neglect." Abortion is one thing. Murder of newborns is something completely different -- though some would argue it is the same thing.

Even Pelosi couldn't stomach that. That is only one disturbing issue. There are more. It is my opinion that the Democrats have made a huge mistake in their nominee. I want Hilary back.
