- Remember, those that question Obama's blackness are those that are turning this into a racial thing. Since we are going to take it there, lets.....
White media is running television and asking questions about Obama's blackness (or lack of blackness by some people). This is their way to basically have him eliminated or have negatives against him when he shouldn't. On a similar note, Hillary Clinton's womanhood may be put to question by the White male media so she would be chastized by women in general and basically making her a lesser threat for the presidency. I would strongly like the candidates running for office regardless of gender or ethnicity to have a fair and decent chance to run for office. Unfortunately, too many uncover racist and sexist exist for fairness to really make this a run on legitimate issues. - Reply to this comment

- Where did 60 Minutes get its polling numbers? No one polled me. I am African American and I support Senator Obama in his bid for the Presidency! When I watched him give his speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention, I said to myself, "that man should run for President." I have been waiting for him to make a move and I did not care, how long it took. Senator Obama had my support then and he most certainly has it know!
BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT IN 2008 - Reply to this comment
- 60 Minutes is one of my favorite shows. I look forward to watching every week and I commend you in what I have found to be very fair reporting in the vast number of stories that I have watched over the years. However, I was a little disappointed in the tone of your story on Barack Obama. Steve actually asked him when he dedided he was black. What kind of question is this? Did Mr. Obama decide this? The story seemed overtly centered on Mr. Obama's race with the color green used in a (slightly) inappropriate manner. It seemed as if your producers from the '70s wrote this piece. Yes it is historic that an African American man is running and has a good shot at the White House. However, the repeated references were a little much. Black men have run before, I was more interested in how Mr. Obama inspired all kinds of people. Wasn't that the story?

- It humors me, truly, that there is such a racial view of Obama as an official candidate for the presidency is '08 rather than a human view of the man. Be a man black or white, be the human woman or man, each individual will bring to the table some perspective idealogy and along with that some new idea or concept will be introduce. Senator Obama is, in some perception, an inexperienced politician and therefore does not have the back bone to lead this "great" nation of ours. What sticks out to me about Obama is that he is strong in his desire to get the respect back around the world for the United States. That is where the beginning is, to diplomatically introduce new stances of policy and from there resume action around, not only Iraq, but the region and from there the world. Obama holds that stength of character to challenge the cynics and evoke a new view of young politicians in Congress. We shall see where it will go.

- Pharo Obamma is your false liberal god. Your one true liberal god is Bill Clinton! Thats why Hillary will get the nomination. Obamma will soon be made an offer from the DNC he cannot refuse.

-Why is it so bad to see this guy becoming the 45th president of the USA? He's one of a kind. African-American with a combination of Muslim background combined with his mother's Christian background. Unfortunately he doens't have a link to the Judaic faith, but hey, that is quite an achievement.
All in all he's unlucky, because he's gonna sit on two chairs. All suspicious looks directed at him, and scrutinzing his acts. So he'll behave so well that he may well be the best president the USA have ever had... - Reply to this comment
- I personally would like to know how CBS, as a "NEWS" agency, can find it even remotely fair, that Barrack Obama has received this kind of free publicity? In case I haven't been clear enough, I don't recall ever even hearing Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo and his candidacy for President ever being mentioned! Your job is to report the NEWS! When Tom Tancredo announced his candidacy, was that not NEWS! And please don't give me any racial chatter either because I can accuse you of snubbing Alan Keyes in the 2000 Presidential race also! He made way too much sense to be embraced by you left-wing loonies! Which of Obamas' traits endears you most to him: his Islamic background or his love for the communist-socialist venue?

- Steve Kroft's suggestion that Barack Obama might be shot is an outrage. CBS just painted a bullseye on a black presidential hopeful. What conservative white candidate would get this treatment? The network should discipline Kroft and disavow his comments.

- They are going to use the fact that he is black to discourage him and us. The media is playing a role in this race issue "Is AmeriKKKa Ready?" ***. The media are a load. And race do not have ish to do with anything. If bush had addressed the same issues and was a man of his word this wouldn't be an issue. WOW.
