Barack Obama in Davenport, Iowa
My father was born in Davenport, Iowa. His family (the Kunkels) have lived there since around the Civil War and used to have a sporting good store there. So I always pay attention to the local politics in Davenport.
Well, Obama just swung through Davenport and this video shows what a man of the people he really is:
Bush and McCain won't talk to anyone who hasn't been pre-screened to avoid embarrassing questions. Obama is willing to face the people, including potential critics. The Republicans are afraid of the American people. Obama is one of us.

Glad my family sold you quality camping gear. I haven't yet found a chance to visit Davenport but want to someday. My father left Davenport, married my mother in California (where my brother was born) and I was born in Arkansas. My parents divorced when I was young and I lost track of my father until he wrote me from an army base in Pusan, Korea, where he was teaching. I later learned he died and it was after that that I started looking into my ancestry.

You seem to have gotten the names reversed as to who will speak to who in an open discussion. McCain is head over heels above Barak when it comes to talking directly to the people and giving honest answers to whatever is asked. If Obama H. does not have his script from his handlers or a teleprompter to read from he sounds like a tongue tied second grader. When he is confronted with a legit question he can hardly put together a complete sentence in his own words. The man is a media created fraud being supported by the likes of his good real estate buddy from Chicago and factions from the Middle East. He may be one of you and your ilk, but he is diffently not like one of the majority that will control this election.
Obama answers all questions in general terms with no detail as to what was asked. The best he can do is offer hope and change and to this day nobody knows what the hell that means. Hope is to sit around and think something different will happen and change is a double bladed sword, good or bad.
Ha ha ha ha

You are funny, aren't you? McCain, like his recent mentor, Bush, pre-screens anyone who comes near him. When asked a direct question about his stand on family planning, the man blushed like a child in embarrassment. McCain refers to the nation of Czechoslovakia long after that nation ceased to exist. He has flip-flopped on Iraq, gun ownership, social security and pretty much everything else. McCain has never given a straight answer in his entire run for the presidency in 2008. Yet you seem to love the man who promises nothing but more Bush failures. And now you claim that Obama, the man recognized by pretty much everyone as America's greatest modern orator, "can hardly put together a complete sentence in his own words?" That is the biggest pile of BS you have said yet.
And if you don't know what Obama means by hope and change, then the fault is your own for refusing to listen. Most of America knows by now what he means and they love it far better that John "Bush" McCain's promises of continued economic and foreign policy failure.
Used to eat at ross
Used to go to Ross's when I had serious stoned munchies in the middle of the night.
In 73 I bought a sleeping bag, tent and backpack from Kunkels, paid a lot for it, but I used this equipment for over 30 years! Dead show campouts, Rainbow family gatherings, always with the same gear I bought at Kunkels in 73. The tent was the last to go, fell apart at Schwag Stock in MO in 05!
