How ironic also that obama gives the speech so near
to Labor Day.

He will get the day off no doubt.

This after vacationing in Hawaii.
(cocaine''s better there)

I hope obama''s nomination starts to fill
the quota for presidential material.

Democrats have been running the inner cities for 30 to 40 years now and the people still complain of the same things. At election time the democrats blame their plight on the republicans to pander for their vote. The democrat party has always and still is the party of the 4 s''s.slavery, secession, segregation, socialism.
I''m done, had fun, later.

Over 7 trillion dollars have been spent on Johnson''s war on poverty. However, there has been little evidence it has helped.

Senator Marsh mentions "the american system makes an Obama possible" but is quiet on the fact the REPUBLICAN party is what made that american system possible.

Obamas campaign has degenerated into fodder for material for a blacksploitation movie.

Democrats fought every passage of civil rights laws from the time they started the KKK. From the 1860''s continuing to the 1950''s and the 1960''s

Jan 4 1965, in his 4500 word state of the union address, Johnson used 35 words on the civil rights movement and not one on voting rights.

In 1967 Johnson was so angry with MLK over his protest over the viet nam war he referred to him as "that ni---r preacher.

did some research on Sen. Clinton`s claims about President Johnson`s contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. The claims are true, Pres. Johnson was a major player and contributor to the success of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

he only achieved that legislation with the support of the republicans

I did some research on Sen. Clinton`s claims about President Johnson`s contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. The claims are true, Pres. Johnson was a major player and contributor to the success of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did all the grunt work, all the dirty work, made all the tangible sacrifices and provided the leadership, but Pres. Johnson was a major piece to the puzzle to make it all happen. In addition, Pres. Johnson was 100% American inside and out and supported the Civil Rights Movement not just as President, but as an American! Finally it was Pres. Johnson who used the bully pulpit of the Office of the President to directly and publicly confront the Ku Klux Klan and did so on many occasions out loud on public broadcasting systems and was a major player in the Klans demise!

REPUBLICAN senator Everett Dirkson from ILLINOIS was central in the passing of civil rights legislation of 1957, 1960, 1964, and 1965. He was also responsible for the language of the 1968 civil rights act prohibiting discrimination of public housing.

Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Chief justice Earl Warren to the supreme court which led to Brown vs the board of education and ended segregation of our schools.

I have a dream. It involves neither candidate becoming our next president.

If Obama gets in, we''re looking at another Carter. If McCain gets in, its Bush III.

There is no perfect leader who can''t bring it (and us) all together.

The system on both sides is broken and corrupt.

I''''m guessing the majority here has NO problem with an NFL franchise being called the "REDSKINS"???????? In the nations capital no less.

How about a team called the "*****"...would that be ok.

From my standpoint it just goes to show that if you have the blessing of "white skin" priviledge you''''ll never "GET IT".
