Comments on: Obama Tries To Smooth Jewish-Black Ties

Democratic Candidate Working Hard To Counteract Unease Among Some Jewish Voters

[bretster7]

BLKPRESIDENT,
Those are not false accusations. I am only using statements made by Farakkan and others about the Egyptians being black and not of middle eastern desent, and tying them directly with historical events,the enslavement of the Jews by the Egyptians.
Locigal progression of facts. Black Egyptians enslaving Jews. And no not everyone in America including myself think Obama is the only choice for President. BTW name one thing besides "change" that he stands for. What were his accomplishments in the Senate, or before. What is his experience? I am sure you were one of the ones that were saying that Bush had no experience when he was running in 2000. Get off the OLD thing, it shows your ignorance

[blkpresident]

Bretster7,

Debate is one thing, but be careful to hold your tongue with false accusations. Having said that, broken record or not, face it, bretster, you and every American know that Obama is the better choice left in the presidential race. Hillary''s a woman and OLD man McCain is just that--too OLD. Is that my fault? Is that Obama''s fault? Of course not. Obama is simply the man.

I find it hard to believe that Barack Obama could go to a church for over 20 years and not know what a racist/anti-semite his preacher was. If he was so clueless not to know how racist his preacher was and he is running for president on his "judgment" how can we expect him to use good judgment when picking his cabinet, other people to advise him, judges for the Supreme Court, etc. if God forbid, he is elected President?? He used really BAD JUDGMENT in associating with this man if you ask me. And going to that church for over 20 Years. If a phone call comes into the White House at 3am how do we know his judgment will be sound?

[scofnj]

I would be really shocked to find out that any Jewish person would be willing to support Obama after the anti-semitic things his Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright has to say about Israel (state sponsor terrorist that wants to destroy Palestinian people). Rev. Wright hates the fact that Jews have a country in the Middle East (Israel). Rev. Wright also traveled to Libya to meet Moammar Qadaffy with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan also said that Judaism is a "gutter religion". Does Rev. Wright believe that also? Was Obama in the Pew when Rev. Wright preached against the state of Israel????

[bretster7]

GreatDriveW,
Name one thing besides "change" that Obama stands for, and lay it out point by point. Also could you name one thing he accomplished as a senator for the past two years? And what did he accomplish before that. I am sure you were one of the ones who was shouting the loudest about the lack of experience of Bush when he was running.

[bretster7]

I just realized something. The hatred that tuckerndfw and BLKPRESIDENT have for the Jews is genetic. Because if you follow the teachings of the Farrakans of thw world they will tell you the Egyptians were not of Middle eastern decent, they were Africans. And who was it that enslaved the Jews for 400 years? So who was the firast race to enslave another? Not the evil white Europeans. It was the black Egyptians.

[greatdrivew]

The special interest groups who thought they owned both political parties, and hence our government and our money, are now scurrying around like scared rats.

The idea of truly turning the page on government corruption and lies is finally dawning on them. And to make matters worse, their Democratic candidate Clinton is finished, and their Republican candidate McCain is DOA - and they know it.

So I guess We the People get to spend the next eight months listening to these parasites manipulate, whine, lie, propagandize and otherwise disgrace themselves and our country. Barack could not have come soon enough, so while we anxiously await change, let''s all enjoy watching these psychotic scabs squirm.

I am SHOCKED that it took over a month for Senator Obama to finally say something about his pastor. This is the same pastor that Senator Obama supports through his regular tithing! The Senator family donates thousand of dollars to this church annually. That means he support his pastor''''s RACIAL overtones and revolutionary statements of overthrowing America and eliminating Israel. Who does Senator Obama trying to fool and what is he trying to hide? Why is he openly, freely, and devotedly donated all that money to a cause if he doesn''''t believe in it? Why is Senator Obama lying to America? This is as bad as Senator Obama still accepting all that money from his crooked land developer that he supposedly hasn;t seen nor talked to in years? Sure doesn''''t sound like a real devoted Christian man to me? Wonder who he and Michelle are praying to everynight?

[bretster7]

BLKPRESIDENT,
Broken record, broken record. Address the fact that Obama has called Wright his advisor , mentor , teacher. You lefty''s are so fond of saying that Bush is just a puppet of his advisors. Perhaps that this is the case with Wright. Admit that you are a racist biggot and that you agree with the rev. Come on out o the closet. By the way it was an OLD man that emancipated the slaves. Call the rev and get some new talking points, these are getting old.

[blkpresident]

truth-hurts,

Don''t go blaming Obama because of my remarks and beliefs. Don''t go blame Obama for Rev. Wright''s beliefs. I AM Black and my experiences have taught me that the best person deserves the job, so face the facts here: OLD man McCain is way too old whether you like it or not, and Hillary IS a woman whether you like it or not. It''s not Obama''s or Rev. Wright''s or my fault that the last three candidates standing are a woman, an OLD man and Obama. And if Hillary cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen for a while and return later when she needs to check in on the brownies in the kitchen oven. Discuss real issues here--not my blackness, not Rev. Wright either, but OLD man McCain''s age and Hillary''s genetic predisposition to bake a batch of cookies.

[blkpresident]

Bretster7,

OBAMA is running for president; Rev. Wright is NOT running for president. With that said, Bob Jones University''s policy was in direct conflict with the civil right laws of the land, and Rev. Wright doesn''t break any laws when he speaks, which the last time i checked was one of the freedoms all Americans were entitled to--unless you conservative types only say one thing and do another. Face it, America doesn''t need OLD man McCain or Hillary in an apron. Obama makes sense.

[bretster7]

BLKPRESIDENT,

You sound like a broken record. Find a new talking point. We know Rev Wright is not running for pres. You don''t seem to get it. Barack Hussein Obama has repeatedly called rev wright his teacher, his spiritual advisor, and his mentor. You can not seperate the man from those he associates with, especially for the last 20 years.
You still not not comment on my post about the Dem''s in Congress putting forth a vote in 2000 to denounce Bob Jones University for it''s so called hate speach and all the media darlings were commmenting on how terrible it was for Bush to campaign there, and why he would not denojunce the university. That was one incedent this is twenty TWENTY years of mentorship.
I am sure you will come back with the same lame excuse. I bet you are one of loudest ranters when it comes to condeming Conservatives for assoiciating themselves with, and allowing endorsements from the Pat Robertsons of the world. Pat Robertson can not hold a candle to racist venom that spews forth from the mouth of the rev Wright. Now that the heat is on your guy, you say it is no big deal. You can''t have it both ways.

The issue of race doesn''t seem to die in this campaighn season. Geraldine Ferraro, when she made the statement that Obama would not be where he is if he were White, was countered by Obama, who said that his skin color and his name are deficits he has to overcome. Race just won''t go away. Obama has to explain his support for the Jewish people, and try to reestablish their relationship with the Black community. These types of meetings need to take place more than just this one time; they should be ongoing. But as stories have developed, race will not escape Obama, not during this campaign. And not with statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, as the media dug into his Old Sermons to find what he thinks about America''s historical and current policies. Race hits a raw nerve in this country like no other, and even when Obama Becomes President, Race will play a part in his leadership. The question ''does he have what it takes'' will dog him until 2016, because Race will have fueled almost all of the questions.

[jason_randon]

truth-hurts,

BLKPRESIDENT is a racist. Our election should not be about gender, ***, age, or religion. He is way out there. just ignore him.

[blkpresident]

jason0randon,

The only Kool-Aid out there is made by FOXNews and everyone dumb enough to believe that a presidential candidate is responsible for what his pastor stands for. Rev. Wright is NOT running for president here.

[blkpresident]

truth-hurts,

There you go again--blamin g Blacks and Obam for my remarks or his pastor''s remarks. I''m not running for president nor his Obama''s pastor. So, simply judge Obama on what he does and says--not his pastor or me.
You know if Obama was White we wouldn''t be having this discussion because it''s crystal clear that he is head and shoulders above that woman and OLD man.

[blkpresident]

jason_randon,

Obama is running for president--not his pastor. What don''t you understand about the difference between the two? Guess some people are running scared because Obama is clearly more viable than a woman or an OLD man. It''s not Obama''s fault Hilary is a woman and OLD man McCain is simply way too old. Dump the pastor argument and discuss real issues here like OLD age and how many times White House staffers may find Hillary standing over the White House kitchen stove baking cookies as oppose to handling the affairs of state. If Obama was White, we wouldn''t even be having this discussion because a mere woman or OLD man cannot handle the presidency. Geritol and denture cream anyone?

[jason_randon]

BLKPRESIDENT,

I guess you sound like you had way too much of Hussein''s Kool Aide and share some of his cocaine with Obama.

[blkpresident]

Bretster,

You''re misinformed; Pastor Wright is NOT one of Obama''s advisers. Speak the truth or identify yourself as Geraldine Ferraro and it''ll be understandable why you write what you write. Face it dude, America won''t let a woman be president, nor an OLD man. Obama, NOT his pastor, is the right choice.

[jason_randon]

BLKPRESIDENT,

you just don''t get it do you? The damage is done and Hussein Obama can not turn back 20 years.
