Obama IS white!
He fell from white loins we are sure. Who is his daddy? Who knows for sure. LOL

From all the long history of Africa, we have never known an African/Black man to fall from white loins.
Not one!

"After all these years of schooling, and you still buy into the charade that the vote of the common man is what determines leadership of any nation?"

It does once the candidates have been chosen for us by the elite.

""It does not say much good about the American public when the highest office in the world can be bought, perhaps going to the highest bidder.

LOL

Are you being deliberately naive?
Can you name one society on the planet in which wealth/influence did not determine the leadership of that nation?

After all these years of schooling, and you still buy into the charade that the vote of the common man is what determines leadership of any nation?

At the end of the day and regardless of the system of government, those who own influence are ALWAYS the ones who will determine leadership of the nation. OK?

So of course the presidency is for say; it ALWAYS was! LOL

It does not say much good about the American public when the highest office in the world can be bought, perhaps going to the highest bidder.
The media which is very much for sale, can make a president and other elected offices.
What it does say is the electorate is of minimal intelligence and votes based on exposure, good looks, vague promises, gender, religious affiliation, and whatever, except for being the most capable, qualified person.
What is it, I forget, that American TV is geared to an average thirteen year old intelligence.
That says it all.

You had to know one-issue Rudy would start losing steam, as the Democratic version of the "Swift Boat" crew got going.

April 2, 2007

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani%u2019s (R) lead over Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) is down to a single point in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. It%u2019s Giuliani 44%, Obama 43%

Giuliani leads by 11 points among men while Obama has an eight-point advantage among women.

The gap between Giuliani and Obama has been narrowing dramatically in recent months. Last December, Giuliani%u2019s lead was 11 percentage points. By January, Obama had cut that lead in half and trailed by just six.

"Obama does seem like a good guy, but he's probably going to be too liberal to get elected" HawkSprings

After Dubya, being a well spoken liberal will be a big plus.

As it was last November, only more so.

Dubya has given Conservatives a bad name.

Try to find another Ronald Reagan, fast. That's my advice. (Too bad Arnold can't run.)

Obama does seem like a good guy, but he's probably going to be too liberal to get elected, unless he starts talking conservative, like Slick Willy did back in his day.

Its nice to see someone outside of 'The Lucky Sperm Club' able to raise campaign funds. I'm sure Obama is working hard. Junior just had to call daddie's friends.

Sorry Hill, no "coronation" for you...

Many people won't agree with Obama or Hillary, but at least those who don't agree with Obama will at least see in him some sincerity and character...with Hillary its a different stance, different accent, different style for whatever audience she steps in front of...I can only imagine what its like in the "Hillary HQ" after this news came out - best it was like watching a 13 year old throw a temper tantrum!!
