BLACKPRESIDENT3; TURN THE MEDIA OFF;

GOOD POST. BUT, YOU SHOULD INCLUDE CLINTON IN THIS STATEMENT. ONLY THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE CALLING FOR CLINTON TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE, 54% OF DEMOCRATES SAY SHE SHOULD STAY IN THE RACE TO THE END.OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE BASHING EVERY "MIS-SPEAK" THAT SHE SAY''S.

I REMEMBER VIVIDLY THE SCENE IN THE L A RIOTS WHERE THOSE WORKED UP BLACKS DRAGGED THAT WHITE TRUCK DRIVER OUT OF HIS TRUCK, (WHO WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING FOR HIS FAMILY) AND NEARLY BEAT HIM TO DEATH. I GUESS THATS OK, BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST "BITTER".

RACISM IS A TWO SIDED SWORD. OBAMA SAY''S LET''S DISCUSS IT. WHEN WHITES BRING THE SUBJECT UP, THEY ARE RACIST, AND "BITTER."

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

[blackspirit3]

SMART AMERICANS HAVE TOUGH MINDS AND DO NOT ALLOW TELL-LIE-VISION TO TEACH THEM WHAT TO THINK OR HOW TO THINK.

AMERICA IS NOT THE TELL-LIE-VISION SHOWS "FRIENDS, EVERYONE HATES RAYMOND OR SIENFIELD." IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.
THE MEDIA ALWAYS SPIN FALSE TAILS AND LIKE SOFT MINDED FOOLS MANY AMERICANS FALL ALL OVER IT AS THE TRUTH.

THAT SAME HATE THE MEDIA SPINS IS THE SAME HATE THAT SOUTHERN WHITE MEN USED WHEN RUMORS WAS SPREAD THAT EMMIT TELL LOOKED AT A WHITE GIRL AND/OR SPOKE TO HER. THE "STORY/RUMOR" WENT FROM "HE SPOKE TO HER TO HE TOUCHED HER TO HE RAPED HER.

THE SPIN CAUSED WHITE MEN TO HANG AND BURN EMMIT TILL.

WHAT IS THIS MEDIA SPIN TRYING TO GET AMERICANS WORKED UP TO DO TO OBAMA? %u2013 KILL HIM? LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS MADE TO BE UNAMERICA - AND THEN KILLED, LIKE BOBBY KENNEDY OR LIKE JOHN F KENNEDY WHO WANTED TO END THE WAR?

THESE MEN CAME BEFORE THE AMERICAN COUNTRY WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS, AND OPINIONS, AND YET AMERICANS MURDERED THEM, NOT RUSSIANS, NOT ARABS, NOT TERRORIST, OUR OWN CITIZENS KILLED THESE MEN.

STOP ALOWING THE MEDIA TO WORK YOU UP OVER LIES AND CONFUSION.
1. EVERYONE MISPEAK AT TIMES. MOTHER POPED YOU IN THE MOUTH ON MANY OCCASSIONS FOR MISPEAKING.
2. ASSOCIATING YOU WITH ALL THE WORDS AND DEEDS OF FREINDS, BOARDMEMBERS, LODGE MEMBERS, CHURCHES, OR CO WORKERS IS GARBAGE SO WHY GET ALL WORKED UP OVER THIS FALSE MEDIA HYPE? I SAY TURN THE MEDIA OFF, AND TURN YOUR MIND ON.

THE OBAMA''S AND THEIR SUPPORTERS HAVE BEEN BASHING CLINTON FOR WORKING FOR WAL-MART IN HER EARLY YEARS AS AN ATTORNEY. HOW EVIL SHE IS FOR WORKING FOR THIS CORPORATE GIANT.

BUT, MICHELLE OBAMA WAS PAID FOR SERVING ON THE BOARD OF WESCHESTER, IL. BASED "TREEHOUSE FOODS INC." WHO IS A MAJOR SUPPLIER TO WAL-MART." IMAGINE THAT.

OBAMA SAY''S HIS CAMPAIGN DOES NOT ACCEPT PACT MONEY, AND CLAIMS HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT ISN''T TAKING A DIME FROM WASHINGTON LOBBYIST, "YET HIS FUNDRASING TEAM INCLUDES 38 MEMBERS OF LAW FIRMS THAT WERE PAID 138 MILLION LAST YEAR TO LOBBY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THESE LAWYERS, INCLUDES 10 FORMER FEDERAL LOBBYIST HAVE PLEDGED TO RAISE AT LEAST 3.5 MILLION FOR THE OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL BID. EMPLOYEES OF THEIR FIRMS HAVE GIVEN OBAMA''S CAMPAIGN 2.26 MILLION.

OBAMA''S CAMPAIGN HAS BASHED THE CLINTON''S FOR MAKING MILLIONS ON BOOK SALES. YET, THE OBAMA''S MADE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR "REPORTED" INCOME ON BOOK SALES. IMAGINE THAT.

GOTTA LOVE IT. AND THEY SAY THAT CLINTON CAN''T BE TRUSTED.

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

If Obama isn''t an Elitist he sure is "Rich" I guess that priviliged Harvard education paid off. Why does *** Cheney give a greater percentage of his money to cahrity than Barrack and Michelle? I thought Obama was in touch with the American People. He probably is too bitter. And...why does he only wear White Shirts???

[jack3213]

SAME OLD -SAME OLD- ARGUMENTS -BUT MORE ''BITTER'' & ANGRY- WHERE''S THE SURPRISE. THEY ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY ARE DENSE, THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO UNITE THEIR OWN PARTY SO THEY ARE SPEWING HATRED FOR THINGS THAT WILL DRAW THEM APART. THE WAR WILL NOT END IN THE EVENT A DEMOCRAT COMES INTO OFFICE, NOR WILL GAS PRICES AUTOMATICALLY DECLINE. THE NAIVE AND AND YET HOPEFUL PEOPLE THINK CHANGE IS AUTOMATIC WITH A PRESIDENT OF A DIFFERANT PARTY AFFILIATION- GROW UP- THAT IS''T THE CASE- NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE- WOULD YOU RATHER FINISH SOMETHING SUCCESSFULLY THAN RUN AWAY LIKE A COWARD BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID? TYPICAL AMERICANS OR SHALL I SAY-TYPICAL ''LIBERAL'' THE NEVER SATISIFED PEOPLE. CHANGE COMES AT A PRICE- AND THE PRICE YOU WILL PAY FOR A DEMOCRAT IS NOT A GOOD CHANGE- IT IS A VERY BAD ONE.

[whitepicks2]

Looks like nobody can muster up any hate speech, or feint indignation, or just work up a fine rant on this one.....Ya musta just plain tuckered out.

I''ll take it his tax return is all square then.

[apprxam]

Yeah, that Treehouse thing is kinda sticky, Obama.

[apprxam]

17.4 more books and he''ll catch up to dem Clintons.

ccfsdca...Again I agree. I like Hillary and have a lot of respect for her. She would be a great leader. But, as you said, she kind of let it slip. If Obama gets elected I think if he goes about it in the right way and surrounds himself with smart well informed people he could do a lot to help restore the lost image of America around the world. His election alone would show the rest of the world that we in this country are not the idiots that they perceive us to be now. Like you, I''m along for the ride. I just hope the end of the ride isn''t a concarete wall.

[element51]

I like the look on Obama''s face in the picture above. If John Kerry had put on a face like that we may have been spared the last four years of agony. It''s about time we democrats stopped being Mr. Nice Guy and started fighting back. It''s time to start kicking cheeks instead of turning them. I hope if he gets the nomination he shows a little fire. If he does, with the kind of temper McCain has, he will make McCain look like a total arse. And if Hillary gets the nod I know she will drive McCain mad. It''s time to "get er done".

[element51]

ccsfdca.....I agree. These folks who hate Obama will grasp at anything to discredit him. Anyone who reaches the office of President is going to make a ton of money for the exact reasons you cite. Personally, I don''t much care who goes to the White House as long as it''s not McCain. I think either one of the democratic candidates can handle it. It''s just a question of who can do the BEST job. My dog Candy would be a better choice than bush was.

[element51]

RowdyTexan2.....Rowdy, you know that you and I are buds. I''ve been reading you since way back when. And you know what''s odd? We don''t agree on Obama. My sister is on your side and gives me constant H_ell about it. Even though we don''t agree on this one thing I still think you are a terriffic person and even though we don''t drink a beer together I think of you as my friend. Keep posting and Obama or Clinton let''s take back our country in November.

[element51]

kansas1946....You are right. But if this was about a republican they would be screaming about how the poor guy had been robbed. Of course, if it was a republican candidate 4 million would be chump change. Just so you know, I ALWAYS read your posts because you are me. We think so much alike. It gives me great comfort to know I am not alone out here. By the way, if you live in Kansas I am your neighbor to the east. We live just 55 miles from the Kansas-Missouri line. Thanks for being there. Oh, one more thing. If in your screen name the 46 means the year you were born we are about the same age. I''ll bet this is a lot more information than you needed.

[rowdytexan2]

Actually Obama didn''t even release his real tax records, just the amended ones...seems strange not to have any business expenses listed when you have a book writing business.

It sure left a lot of it out.

[element51]

pepperwood2....This isn''t an attack! Just thought you might want to know that the 110 million was 10 years of income. I don''t know what your politics are but if you are going up against a McCain supporter you want to have your facts absolutely correct or they will tear you a new one. It''s hard to make a point if you don''t have everything exact.

******************************************************
Seems about right with book earnings,I Cant and still waiting for the Clintons 2007 tax returns, They only show us dating back. It will make Obama earnings look like tips.. and then have the nerve to call him a ELITIST. still cant get over that; its truly funny.

[kansas1946]

Sounds like an American success story to me. He did have to pay an awfully lot in taxes though. We need to cut taxes and spending, so when someone makes four million dollars, they get to keep most of it. Obama is a great candidate for the Democrats. I don''t know if they deserve him, but they got him, so I hope they support him. Hillary fought a good fight, but it is getting pretty near time to wrap it up and let him focus on McCain.

[randynason]

One can defintely say that he is not poor, white trailer trash. It''s too bad the same cannot be said for the many who complain about Barack''s sincerity. Compared to Clinton''s ten million, Obama''s income is moderate and not excessive.

[pepperwood2]

Bill & Hillary''s 110,000,000 million dollar year. Not too shabby and Hillary gave the People some relief by not writing another loser "It takes a village".

260,000 dollar earnings for Mr. & Mrs. Obama. Its no wonder that Hillary thinks Obama and the People are so inferior to her. The Clintons have lost touch with Reality.

35 years the Clintons have been living the AMERICAN SCHEME while the rest of us have been busy working for the AMERICAN DREAM and paying their way. SO SAD!

[dnsallday]

Wow, I wish I had the talent to write a couple of bestsellers, that money is really rolling in. I guess the books are really hot now that he will be our next President. Awesome.
