This article is not an objective one. Big part of the article is about the Clinton''s campaign, and about casting doubts in a subtle way towards the prospects Obama being the nominee. Mr. Obama may not be the best possible nominee among the Democrats who could have run, but he is certainly the best available now. Mrs. Clinton''s resume has many weaknesses, and the Republicans would love to run against her. A previous page discussed some of these weaknesses. I believe that if the choice is between having 2 royal families or closing the chapter on one, many voters will choose the latter. It is quite clear how the situation got so low during the past 7 years; they call the surge a success with spending 12 Billion Dollars a month on a war based on claims never materialized, and they still call it worth it up till today. They deny some very simple facts. Can it get more pathetic? One family is enough, taking into account that we are talking about a developed country of more than 300 million people.

Did you not know when the plane hit the first tower certain people snickered? You know the people who go to that whatyoumacall it racist church! They laugh and laugh and laugh! Then when they saw all the people running for their lives it gave them a thrill that America was learning their lesson. When people started jumping out the windows and splatting against the sidewalks they shouted "They are getting what they deserve."
This is what is being taught in Obama%u2019s church!
Black power baby!
Remember now disguise it with racism
or is it the other way around?
When they found some of the remains of the people from the world trade tower the congregation from Obama%u2019s church wanted them as souvenirs to hang on their wall as a remembrance of their hatred for America and how we only had to pay for it a little! They figured that the future of America could get the same! %u201CWhite America" had the 9/11 attacks coming.%u201D Obama is nowhere to be found? GOD
D-A-M-N WHITE AMERICA! Said right From the mans own mouth that he is connected with!

Neither Obama (if he stays in the race) nor Hillary will qualify for the nomination based on delegates, and the margin between them will still be pretty narrow - so the Democrats should look at other criteria. Hillary''s ahead in the electoral vote value of the states she''s won. She''s likely going to be ahead in the popular vote after Puerto Rico votes. Even if the Wright scandal subsides a bit, Obama cannot effectively step away from Wright, and the GOP will not fail to take advantage of that in November. The superdelegates and Howard Dean need to step up and act to avoid the debacle that will surely follow if Obama gets the nomination.

Obama has been listening to anti-American, anti-white, anti-jew hate speech to 20 years. It''s no wonder he doesn''t wear an American flag pin or covers his heart during the national anthem. Also, his wife''s comments about proud of her country "for the first time ever" make sense.

I can''t believe I once supported this man (I was lukewarm). There''s no way I can vote for him now.

Well, I see the trolls are picking up FAUX New''s 24/7 inflammatory rhetoric about Rev Wright.

Like that is a big deal over my kitchen table while I look at inflation, the bailout of the the Elite, and the Health Care debacle.

So Bear Stearns is bailed out and I am not.

Misleading write-up, jaxsterling, but you chose to leave out swiftboating stuff about McCain.

Oh if I only owned FAUX news.

You are being used by those who don''t care about you or your children.


You are a tool who will refuses to understand who controls you.

jaxsterling said, "Surviving the Keating Five scandal of the 1980s..."

Most of your post offers a Wikipedia quotation, verbatim. If verbatim, then give Wikipedia credit, and make Wikipedia a donation for helping you write for McCain.

As for "surviving" the Keating Five Scandal, McCain not only survived, but was in it, too, Bubba. Many thought his political career was over-- including McCain.

McCain is widely thought a maverick, but he voted the Bush/GOP line repeatedly on Iraq, and did not hold Bush to the same standard of truth that America demands of him. Where was McCain on WMD''s, on NSA spying on millions of American citizens without warrant?

In fact, rather than admit Iraq is fast becoming Ft. Apache, McCain insisted he is ready to stay there for the next century, if Iraqi oil holds out.

McCain gets no respect from rabidly mendacious Bush party regulars, many of whom still detest McCain for not kissing whatever Bush presents for veneration. Bush used an openly racist campaign (Lee Atwater, Karl Rove) against McCain during the 2000 SC primary, and want to do the same on McCain''s behalf against Obama.

In fact, all the Bush wing of the GOP wants is to elect McCain, kill him, and insert its own proxy. Classic Bush parasitic politics.
