cbsrash, I will go back to Africa when you take your A$$ back to Europe. This is no more your country than mine so back the hell up! I''ve had relatives fight in every war dating back to the civil war and consistently have had to deal with idotic bs like that you are spewing forth. Republican or not just shut the F-UP. One republican to another...yes I am a black republican who will not be going back to Africa any more than you will be going back to Europe.

Blackmilitan-- Don''t let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out. I wish all the blacks would go live in Africa for one year. I think it would change their attitude. Fact is I probably won''t vote for a black man until more join the Republican party. I''ve always voted Republican for president. So if a black man wants my vote he''s gonna have to run as a Republican.

Couple that with the fact that a lot of Democrats will just stay home come election day in November if Obama is the candidate. No amount of "healing" is going to change that.

"Yes, America, for better or worse, journalists are human, too, and we sometimes play favorites in our coverage."

Gee, no kidding. I never would have guessed after such fair and balance reporting in the Democratic Primary. (Not.)

Obama is more like the leader of a cult. People want to believe in unity and he is tapping into that need. They will follow no matter what, that means that their minds are not thinking objectively.

Quick, get back under your bed, Smitty! After the durka-durkas have left the white house, the all-clear will be sounded and you can come out and scavenge with everyone else. It should be no more than 25 or 30 years.

Do you HONESTLY think stuff like this is working for you anymore. It''s childish and the problems we face are REAL, very REAL!! We are borrowing money to fight a war that NO ONE today says needed to be fought and YOU want to post this trash?? There ARE other people in this nation!! THEY do sometimes disagree with you and YOU are not superior. I hate to see ANY American excluded from a debate but garbage like this is rediculous!! Sieg Heil Rush

The next President is not just to focus on the lower or middle class--who ned help of some nature- the President also has a responsiblity to all people.. of all status -seems alot of people forget that- Many who struggle have struggled because they do not want to work hard and do not want to do for themselves- they want the ''''government'''' to take care of them- like children- that is what is weighing us all down

The NEXT President has to LEAD the people in a new and different direction. Anyone who say''s taking a Balanced Budget and Surplus to what we have is OKAY is NOT acceptable. Anyone who says he has some "Migic" Bullet to "fix" social security is out as well. You do NOT have to be a mental giant to figure out that we are headed in the WRONG direction. Tough hard decisions have to be made to correct a very BAD WRONG that was committed to the Working Class in this nation or the "SOLUTION" will hurt MUCH worse. McSame isn''t the answer that''s for sure... he flip flops so much how do you KNOW what you are getting. Sieg Heil Rush

The media seems to have succeeded in turning Barack''s attention elsewhere other than the nomination fight. Watch out for the rope-a-dope, Barack. She is playing another sympathy card.

America you are going to LOVE this guy. I had a friend from Work that lived in his Neighborhood. The guy IS what he appears. He love''s a game of pick up basketball and he KNOWS what a working stiff has to go through. HE would insist on regotiating those trade agreements that has ripped American''s off so badly. I don''t know of ONE community in this nation that has NOT suffered from these agreements... now keep in mind I am not allowed to go into those Communities where CEO''s live but out here in Average American I know of NO PLACE where WE the PEOPLE have not suffered.

A good leader hires good people. Obama is a leader and you can bet his team will be top notch. Obama''''s campaign is not 20 million in the red. His people know how to manage money, Hillary''''s team pissed money away. What Obama may lack in experience he will make up with brains and common sense. Something we have not had in 7 years.

For those who think Obama can lead us out of anything- with no experiance- are ''''''''wishful thinking'''''''' that is something ''''children do'''' not rational minded ''''''''adults'''''''' and individuals that base their decisions on logic. "Change" can also be very bad at the wrong time with the wrong person.

Obama has some baggage to overcome, don''t think for a second that McCain is clean..this guy has enough baggage to fill a cargo plane. It will all come out soon enough.

The official organ of Italian communist party "L''UNITA''" with leading articles of its publishing director, a certain Mr Furio Colombo a fanatical communist and a third-rate journalist, has also adopted a stance of enthusiastic endorsement and backup for Obama. He is speaking highly of him.. Communist support for Obama arouses suspicion considering the hatred communists have always felt for USA. This Furio Colombo in particular is in Italy well-known for his deep hate against USA. This nice gentleman is now in the US following Obama in his campaign for the Presidency.I wonder why communists are now backing Obama so warmly. I think there is cause for concern if communists are supporting Obama, isn%u2019t there?

OBAMA MENTOR SUPPORTS HAMAS AND HATE WHITEE.

True, Obama mentioned how Wright taught him to be kind unto others. But according to Wright%u2019s interpretation, that %u201Ckindness%u201D has more to do with fighting %u201Cwhite oppression%u201D than urging nonviolence and brotherly love among all races. Wright%u2019s church even praised Hamas in the past, and has always touted it as an Islamic charity organization showing such social kindness despite its charter calling for unyielding murder and expulsion of Jews in the Middle East.

HILLARY4US, you will get what you ask for. One person who will not be debating McCain in the general election is Hillary. And since you plan to vote for McCain, you will lose twice this year. Obama 08
