Comments on: Obama Seeks To Reshape The Electorate

Politico: Campaign Turns Attention To Ambitious General Election Plan To Bring New Voters To The Polls

Obama is 6.25% African,...43.75% Arab and 50% caucasion.
Federal law states that he is not considered African American unless he is 1/8 or 12.5% African,...Even if elected, He will never be the first African American president.

Do you think he lied on his Harvard application?

The only racists that I see are the ones who assumed Obama was African American because of the color of his skin.

You can''''t count delegates in FL. Obama couldn''''t campaign there.

Obama was the one who broke the rules in Florida after playing dumb and buying ads in a national package where spots were aired on CNN in Florida (reaching 93% of homes).
In reality he was the only one to campaign there.

I like how they keep the Emil Jones story out of Pa.

You can''t count delegates in FL. Obama couldn''t campaign there. Everywhere else he got to campaign he has closed the gap on her. Of course whe won there, her last name is Clinton, most people didn''t know who Obama was yet.

In Michigan (where I live) he wasn''t even on the ballot so I voted in the Rep for McCain. If there was a revote I wouldn''t be alowed to vote of Obama because I voted in the Rep primary. That wouldn''t be fair eiter.

Its too bad for Hillary becasue she probably would of picked up a few more delegates from FL then Obama would from MI but those were the rules before the election started. All Obama''s campain will have to to is show everyone the clip of Hllary saying over and over again, "its clear that MI and FL will not count".

The Delegates will be seated 50 percent for Hillary. 50 Percent for Obama. That is how its going to end up. Hillary doesn''t deserve anymore then half. She would of lost Michigan if it was a real race and won FL. There is no way they let those numbers count. its a shaddy attemp by Billary to steel the election and wont work

The way Obama could change how the world looks at the US, according to author Alice Walker in an op-ed in the Guardian of London supporting Obama. "It is hard to relate what it feels like to see Mrs Clinton (I wish she felt self-assured enough to use her own name) referred to as %u2018a woman%u2019 while Barack Obama is always referred to as %u2018a black man%u2019. One would think she is just any woman, but she is not. She carries all the history of white womanhood in the US in her person; it would be a miracle if we, and the world, did not react to this fact. How dishonest it is, to try to make her innocent of her racial inheritance.%u201D

%u201CI can easily imagine Obama sitting down and talking to any leader -- or any person -- in the world, with no baggage of past servitude or race supremacy to mar their talks. I cannot see the same scenario with Clinton, who would drag into 21st-century US leadership the same image of white privilege and distance from others'' lives that has so marred the country''s contacts with the rest of the world."

Sir, the DNC has already said the Florida and Michigan delegates will be seated at the convention. They have just not come to agreement on being fair about the votes and delegates already cast.

That is why Hillary must go on to Convention, in order to get the support she certainly earned

And the fact to really crown off her earning these votes is that she didn''t even have to campaign in either state to get them! They just came out and voted for her anyway!

And Obama tried to pull a shyster with a national ad campaign including Florida, broke the DNC rules, and broke them again holding press conferences there, and when they allocate the Florida and Michigan votes, he''s in fact not eligible for them after breaking the rules.

Its like one or two superdelegates are announcing their support for Obama everyday. Hillary is doomed!!! They called it Death by A Thousand Cuts, and its a beautiful thing to watch. Its only a matter of time before Hillary is giving her consession speech, it will be music to my ears.

[rowdytexan2]

Where I understand the analogy that you used, Don''''t you believe that someone being banned from a political forum pales in comparison to going from stiff penalties if the states not follow established DNC rules to, oh, well--we''''ll let Florida and Michigan be seated anyway. If that lil'''' woman is behind these shenanigans she''''ll lose more than the projected 20% threatened if Obama isn''''t the nominee. Is there anyone in charge at the DNC?

Pro gun people go around talking about how felons can''t legally buy guns but they fail to mention that at least one third of the felonies committed each year do not result in a conviction. Bottom line is that there are a LOT of people running around out there who have committed multiple felonies but never been convicted. There is no way to keep them from legally purchasing guns because that would cut into the gun manufacturers'' profits and they won''t stand for that! They won''t rest until every one in the country feels the need to buy a gun, and they''re making that happen by legally arming people who commit felonies but are too smart to get caught.

Censor this CBS/"BillORights"!
