Why doesn't Obama stick to running the country and mix out of NJ politics? I think he has enough on his plate to eat first.
Ever since corzine had that incident where he wasn't wearing his seatbelt and he tried to make up for it by making everyone else wear seatbelts, I can't stand him. I'm gonna vote against him even if Al Sharpton runs for the republicans. David Ladimore
