Colin Powell said his mother pronounced it "Collin" but he had long since given up on having it pronounced as he had been named.

p>So, get ready to call a lot of folks mis-pronouncing Obama. Perhaps if it had been O'Bama, the Irish among us would have at least gotten it. br> -- Diane Smith br> South San Francisco, California /p> p> Rush is only referring to the Ted Kennedy gaff. Kennedy is the joke in Rush's pun, not Barack Obama. In fact, if a Republican had made a similar mis-pronouncement in a public forum and on tape, we would never hear the end of it until that unfortunate politician quit the game in disgrace. Check out the original Kennedy blunder by listening to Rush's show… it's worth a good laugh at the expense of old Teddy. br> -- Phil br> Fargo, North Dakota /p>

Mr. Obama seems a very likable and intelligent person. But he suffers from the Democrat malady which is quickly evident to the most casual observer -- mendacity.

Mr. Obama tags the Democrats as "the party of reaction". Nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats are the party of "anti," and lies, not reaction. Just for example, the liar they nominated for President the last time an election was stolen from them -- yes, the Republicans rigged another one -- lied about everything. He said he saw atrocities in Vietnam, whoops! He didn't actually see them but every body else did. He lied about the conditions of his discharge from the Navy. Everyone remembers that two or three years ago he "opened" his Navy records to all. Have you seen anything, anywhere, anytime, about his discharge?

The Clintons are the masters of the anti. Mrs. Clinton is anti-Christianity but wears a cross, decries abortion but votes for it time and again, voted for the war which is now all wrong. She is anti slavery but votes to economically chain minorities to her party financially by providing a subsistence living level and forbidding recipients from work. Her stance is anti-everything that made us a great and successful nation: hard work, self reliance, morals and the dignity of the individual. She is truthfully for only two things: getting elected and using her status to make money.

p>I hope Mr. Obama is a bit different.
