Ben & Jerry's founders endorse Obama

The founders of Ben & Jerry's endorsed Barack Obama on Monday, and lent his Vermont campaign two "ObamaMobiles" that will tour the state and give away scoops of "Cherries for Change" ice cream.
"If there was ever a need for real change, and if there ever was a candidate to inspire us and make that happen, it's now," said Ben Cohen.
Added Jerry Greenfield: "Barack is showing that when you lead with your values and follow what you have inside that good things will happen."
Echoing Obama, Greenfield said he and Cohen succeeded when they opened their ice cream shop 30 years ago in Burlington by doing things differently, instead of copying the "tired ways" of doing business.
"What we saw is that when you want real change it's not a marketing slogan. You have to do things differently. And that is not going to be done by someone who's been involved in the system for years and years," Greenfield said. "It needs to come from inside and Barack Obama has it."
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and his wife joined the ice cream duo to announce their radio campaign backing the Illinois senator.
Cohen initially supported John Edwards, who dropped out of the race earlier this month.
Rob Hill, director of the Vermonters for Obama campaign, said he looked forward to getting behind the wheel of one of the two ObamaMobiles \ retrofitted Honda Elements.

Barack Obama wins in Wisconsin... With Hawaii still voting at the moment. :)
Man, the USA had three good candidates to choose from: Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel.
It's a shame the choices have been whittled down to three people that don't even qualify to call themselves Americans.
Looks like the US will get what it deserves.... more of the same.

Don't you remember the way Rove "handled" him in the 2000 elections? Or maybe you don't know that he's sold he's allegiance to a foreign entity?

Maybe he's referring to the Native Americans... None of which are running for office.

May I ask... What must one do, in your opinion, to qualify for the right to call ones self an American?

Was maximizing upload bw for the night. Thought I'd check back here one more time.
The answer to your question is simple... Put America first.
It's impossible to put America first if you've sold out to lobbyists. The candidates I mentioned above, with the possible exception of Kucinich, are clean and unbeholden to lobbyists or foreign interests.
Granted, the right to lobby the government is rich in tradition. But look at where it has gotten the USA since the end of WWII. Your country has got to get back to it's Constitution. Limited government, hands off of foreign countries, and doing what is right for the USA. And that will be right for the rest of the world.
But I know it's difficult. The citizens of the USA have been dumbed down educationally at the same time the propaganda has been cranked up. It's no wonder Bush was elected and re-elected.
But it doesn't really matter now, does it? The cards have fallen. All the mistakes since WWII are about to bring the whole card house down. It's kind of sad but funny at the same time.

Maybe she can build a leg out of mud so she has another one to stand on...
Where ever one lies on the political spectrum...it's becoming obvious as many pundits and political analysts are increasingly saying....it's Obama's nomination to lose....well, March 4th primaries will decide.

Yup, that's what I've been reading.
And apparently McCain thinks Obama will be the nominee as well, since he's starting to take potshots at Obama as well...

Yeah but those potshots occur before 5pm...McCain's bed time....
