"What''s race got to do with it".........Isn''t that a song by Tina Turner?

Colin Powell could never get the votes Obama got. Colin is a republican so this year he would never have won and he backed bush in this war of aggression in Iraq. Granted, Powell had the good sense to get out of the Bush administration but he still hasn''t condemned what bush did.

I lost a lot of respect for Powell after he got tied up with Bush. He should have known better.

So I have to Go with the O!!

Obama 08!!
Obama is the best candidate for the job of president.

Does not matter much.

If he does not sell his soul to the Corporate or Military Establishment, he will be murdered. We will find-out sooner or later:

1. Obama survives his term; nothing is going to change.

2. Obama will be assasinated; he did not sell the its citizens out to greed.

My personal assessment, "POLITICIANS SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE - STATUS QUO." History dictates that black politicians are no better than white counter-parts.

Color is of no importance here, or gender. This man is just the best candidate that got nominated to run.

I agree on both counts. Obama hates whites so deeply that he has rejected his own white roots. He is a man of smoke and mirrors but very little substance. Because of him, we will most likely have McCain as out next President, which is a fate worse than Bush for another 8 years.

Bring it on!! why look on the past? lets look at the future!

Yes, I think America can elect a black president but not this guy. Obama and his wife have too many negatives in their past. The media is overlooking a lot of things that a white candidate would have been drug over the coals about. Colin Powell would have made a better choice to prove this country at last is colorblind.

Black, yes. THIS black, no.
