br> -- Ed Vidal br> New York, New York /p> p> "Obama's speech...won over many of his skeptics(?)" He won over precisely you. Perhaps you missed the Rasmussen poll that indicated that 0% (that's right-not one) of Republicans look more favorably at Obama after his speech. Now you are either not a Republican or you are in the 2% of Independents who look more favorably upon Slick Obie after his grandmother slamming apologia. Save your starry-eyed longings for the Daily Kos ! br> -- Ralph Alter br> Carmel, Indiana /p>

I am amazed at the condescension in Jeremy Lott's column. What has hate got to do with conservatives' reaction to recent developments concerning Barack Obama? People are raising legitimate questions about a presidential candidate who belongs to a church which is basically an offshoot of the Black Power movement of the '60s.

You can ignore that and sweep it under the rug and bring out the old "conservatives are haters" routine, or you can look at the facts. This man wants to be our president. He has not been thoroughly vetted by the mainstream media and now will capture the Democrat nomination. It's time to look at Barack Obama warts and all and not give him a pass because he says some things that make you feel good.

p>Hate has nothing to do with it -- unless it's the hate of Obama's pastor for his own country. We need to know who Barack Obama really is. He wants to be our president, and we have a right to ask questions about where his loyalties really lie. br> --
