If this is the Dems Partys burning issue this election to elect a Black President fine, so be it just say so. I happen to believe that is extremely important as a main criteria and I also believe the same if slightly more for myself actually, the important criterion of an inclusive women being elected. Now there is every thing as well to add else, gas, recession, Iraq, 401k, health care, hate baiting, debt, children, education in this country our children in our communities, voting records, experience, delectability, values virtues.


Pitiful, this race wedgies looks particularly unflattering on this elephants buttttt.


Hate is just hate but his poll numbers are up soooooo there is no hope for change, dig in for the long ugly hall that will be the Dem primary.

I''m a Psychologist and here is my take on Obama''s baloney :

Obama is a pathological liar that comes from a very dysfunctional family.
His mother had several african husbands who influenced Obama''s dysfunctional behavior.
His father was a devout married Mau Mau Muslim.
His stepfather Lolo Soetoro enrolled Obama in the local Madrassa in Indonesia and he was indoctrinated for 6 years.
Obama is a ticking time Muslim bomb.
Obama is a practicing Muslim who prays in arabic 5 times per day facing Mecca.
He was born a Muslim from a muslim father and under Sharia Law He is a Muslim until he dies.
Why He refuses to admit he''s a Muslim?
a.- The Liar wants To gain Power, after he''s elected Obama will rock
the world and say: "Gee, I once was a Muslim and now I want to be Muslim again"
And our Nuclear Arsenal will pass to the hands of Al Qaida and Iran.
OBAMA SWORE ON HIS FATHER''S COFFIN TO CONVERT AMERICA TO ISLAM.
If Obama converts America the BIG LOSERS will be US WOMEN.
US Women will be slaves forever, way below the rank of the family dog.

Obama has confessed doing and selling drugs.
But, has Obama done rehab for his addiction to crack cocaine?
When we asked him, he called racists and walked away offended.
He''s no facing the fact he''s still a drug addic,t a junkie.
That''s why He''s so skinny and spaced out at times.

Normally it would be fun to watch the Democrats self-destruct...they do it so well. Why aren''t you asking your leaders why we are still in this war, with their blessings? Obama...Clinton...white...black...it does not matter...both are going to continue the war and occupation. Do you want peace, or not?--If you do want peace, vote for Kucinich or Gravel...if not vote for Clinton or Obama...

SENATOR OBAMA CAMP IS MAKING IT AS A RACIAL ISSUE - THEY ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE THE NATION AGAIN!!!! THAT''S AN OLD TATICS AND THAT WON''T WORK ANYMORE! AFRICAN AMERICAN IS SMARTER AND WISER THAN THAT I THINK THIS IS JUST OUT OF DESPERATION FOR THEY WAN''T ALL BLACK AMERICAN TO VOTE FOR OBAMA. VOTERS BEFORE YOU DECIDE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THERE RECORDS WHAT HAVE THEY''VE DONE AND ACCOMPLISHED AS A SENATOR. DON''T BELIEVE ON POEM AND PROSE SPEECHES. AND NOW THE NATIONAL MEDIA, THE PUNDITS, POLITICIAN ENDORSER ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE AND EXPLOITING THE SITUATION - ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE - TO DIVIDE THE NATION. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I THINK THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE AND EXPLOITING THE SITUATION OR ELSE THERE WILL BE NO NEWS TO TALK ABOUT THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. AFRICAN AMERICAN IS SMARTER THAN THAT THEY WON''T TAKE THE BAIT - THAT''S AN OLD TATICS AND THAT WON''T WORK ANYMORE. WATCH THE MEET THE PRESS WITH TIM RUSSERT HOW THEY PUT THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT WHEN THEY INTERVIEW SENATOR CLINTON AND TIM RUSSERT THINK HE CAN OUT SMART SENATOR CLINTON. AS THE SAYING GOES: NOTHING HIDDEN CANNOT BE REVEALED!"
AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER "ON THE JOB TRAINING PRESIDENT AGAIN!". AT THE END OF THE DAY THE VOTERS WILL DECIDE NOT THE PUNDITS, NATIONAL MEDIA AND POLLSTER. God Bless America

***!

The writer of this article certainly does paint an unpleasant image.

I count 13 uses of the word "black" and 6 uses of the word "white" and the context isn''t pretty.

Reading Ben Smith and this Politico tripe, You wouldn''t know that a white person or a black person could think outside their own race.

Well, I''m white, and while I am somewhat disappointed by what the Clintons have said, I am seriously disgusted by what that slimeball Ben Smith has written and seems to be trying to flame up with his article.

I think we should focus our disgust on Ben Smith first and move on from there later

It''''s not about the Clintons being racist; they can be racist all day long, but it IS about them using race baiting in their politics. THEY were the ones who brought up MLK in this episode; THEY were the ones who caused this fairy tale; THEY were the ones who caused "Big Jim" James Clyburn to be concerned; THEY were the ones who brought Sharpton into this; THEY were the ones who belittled King''''s contribution to civil rights legislation. But people ARE tired of THEIR victimizing and then crying wolf as the victim. Where''''s the beef; no, it''''s where''''s the CHANGE. Vote your conscious.

THIS is the kind of thing that will cost the election. Things are almost certain to get much hotter and then there''s handling the Government AFTER elected. The way Obama and his supporters handled this it''s not likely they can handle the real heat outside their party. He''s going up against HARDENED Souther FASCIST folks... these people have made Wedge a part of politic''s and playing to this would most certainly give them that fear factor they need to win.

I''m much like you but now I''m leaning more toward Clinton. If Obama and his supporters can''t handle this there is NO way they can handle the Fascist attacks in the General Election. Obama is a good man and has great idea''s, I just think it''s a little to early for him.
