Were The Candidates Speaking To The NAACP, Or To White Voters?

AND what did "KKK" stand for--wasn''t that "organization" around BEFORE the NAACP?

KKK as racist as you can get!

If anyone ever doubts a left wing bias exists in this so called "mainstream" media just think about this:

Last month a liberal (Tim Russert), who had nothing more to his resume than to have once been a speech writer for some yankee (Dimbulb) Senator who died some years back, and the remainder merely working as a talking head for NBC passed away, and CBS had no less than two and maybe three boards dedicated to this man.

Yet today we bury a real American conservative (Tony Snow), who most recently served as the White House Press Secretary, prior to which he served as a speech writer for President Bush #41, in between which he worked as a talking head on both TV and radio.

Yet CBS has offered not so much as a single word, much less a whole board about this outstanding Americans passing.

I know Tony wouldn''t be bothered or even surprised by this, but I simply had to express my outrage over this to all you NObama worshipping un-Americans POS.

In an ABC interview, Obama said the government can crack down on terrorists %u201Cwithin the constraints of the Constitution.%u201D

He said, %u201CWhat we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks %u2014 for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center %u2014 we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.%u201D

Apparently, Obama has been asleep for the nearly seven years since 9/11. He missed having learned that the 9/11 hijackers are dead and thus could not have been prosecuted. He missed learning that they wanted to be martyrs and were prepared to be jailed or killed. No threat of prosecution would have deterred them.

Obama missed the 9/11 commission hearings and report, which excoriated both Presidents Clinton and Bush for a lack of imagination in pursuing terrorists after the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Africa and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole. In particular, the commission said that before 9/11, %u201CMilitary measures failed or were not applied.%u201D

Citing the military invasion of Afghanistan, the commission said, %u201CThe president and Congress deserve praise for their efforts in Afghanistan so far.%u201D

"The idea that both candidates at an African-American event may be aiming at white voters; and our new poll shows sharp divisions between whites and blacks about the state of race relations and is more evidence of how incredibly tangled this whole area of race and politics is. "

THIS ELECTION WILL NOT SOLVE THE RACE ISSUE- AND THESE CANDIDATES ARE EITHER ACCEPTING OF THIS OR NOT- BEING CONDESENDING TO EITHER COLOR IS NOT THE WAY TO GO- THEY MUST WANT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER- BUT THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THEY DON''T PRETEND TO KNOW SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE DOES.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES VERY SELDOM IF EVER SETS FOOT IN A LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL!

Posted by RowdyWicca at 07:20 AM : Jul 17, 2008

This president apparently very seldom ever set foot in ANY school.

But oh, I forgot, he WAS in a school reading a story about a goat when the 911 attack occurred.

As I recall, he was was so enthralled with being with his own age group (mental, that is) that he refused to leave for seven minutes, when the Secret Service agents had to almost literally drag him from the room.

What a president!, what a leader!, what a decider!, what a total failure and total embarrassment to the people of this country.

[rowdywicca]

No Child Left Behind was a stupid program that will be absolished...and the only reason for it was because Laura Bush needed something to put her name on...

[rowdywicca]

When you can show me a public school in a "Black" neighborhood that is adequately funded, with the current materials necessary to educate astudents sufficient for college preparation, or for a real vocation, relevant applied arts education, and the fundamentals of business administration, I will then show you lots of people of all ethnic stripe that would not have to make the choice between inadequate shcooling, and schooling in an environment in which they are not welcome...

AGAIN, this is BS! NATIONAL money, very little if ANY, funds public schools! You can whine till the cows come home if you want to, but LOCAL MONEY funds shcools, and education programs are set by STATES! Why in the HELL hasn''t your state set STANDARDS for ALL schools?

This is the stupidest national election talking point I''ve ever HEARD!

It''s up to the LOCALS to get off their butts and make sure their schools are properly funded and meeting the standards set for them! It''s called a SCHOOL BOARD! And it''s called parents holding those people accountable! And it''s called the PTA that gets a wish list every year from the teachers for things they need, and parents who hit the streets to find a way to meet those needs!

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES VERY SELDOM IF EVER SETS FOOT IN A LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL!

Nice to see that Bush, McCain and the Pentagon are finally adopting the troop plan that Obama has been talking about for months now.

I don''t see Obama wearing the seal of the President yet...since when does he get credit for someone elses actions...this JUNIOR SENATOR of 143 days?

BTW, Hillary got with the generals and made the plan MONTHS before Obama even started his candidacy!
