Obama is a good candidate, I won''t lie. But his slip-ups are going to hurt him more, as he is in the lead. Should Obama and Clinton stop fighting long enough to get their heads on straight, they will notice a Republican by the name of John McCain starting to usurp them in the polls. So, it would be a good idea for them to make a deal and both attack McCain instead of attacking each other

Here is the scarier part of "Just Sound bites" Rev Wright
and Farrahkans trip...

While visiting that mercurial miscreant Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi,
Farrakhan struck a deal which secured millions of dollars from Libya to lobby
for the secession of part of the United States. The goal is the formation of a
separate black nation on the North American Continent replete with a 500,000 man
army and nuclear weapons.

"Minister" Farrakhan endorsed the policies of the Sudan which enslaves black
Christian men, women and children. The average price of a Christian woman with
child is $15.00. For Farrakhan and the people of the Sudan there is no such
thing as an "emancipation proclamation."

In remarks to the Iranian parliament Farrakhan called for the destruction of
that "great satan" meaning the United States.

In Iraq, Farrakhan accused the United States of genocide and "war crimes" and
again prayed for our total destruction.

Do we really know Obama, you know that is not even his real name, he changed it...
And do you realize who his endorsers and backers are ?
It is all pretty Scary..

Where is his money coming from REALLY, well from what I understand it is being funnelled in through Farrahkans group.
On the trip Rev.Wright took to Libya...

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, was seeking the United States
Government''s permission to accept $1 billion from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of
Libya. The gift, Mr. Farrakhan said, would be used to mobilize American black
voters and bolster their economic strength. (and elect Obama ?)

Sen. Clinton has run an incompetent campaign, half truths, outright lies, imaginary heroism, take-no prisoners politics, a presidential spouse given to wallowing in anger and self-pity, and a succession of aides and surrogates pushed under the bus when things don%u2019t go right. Her campaign has failed spectacularly despite being the Partys obvious favorite from the beginning.

She knows she cannot win the pledged delegates or popular vote; and she knows superdelegates will not destroy the party by backing her, so she is simply hanging around with a begging bowl asking for the nomination in case Obama makes a fatal mistake.

What kind of a leader would prefer to win a Presidential Election on account of her opponents mistakes rather than her ability? How can Sen. Clinton manage the United States when she can%u2019t even run her own campaign.

Obama, really does not understand or really know how to relate to White America, it is know wonder..look at the people he surrounds himself with and the church he attends and...
His statement about Rev. ("just sound bites) Wright, before he was outted...

Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his
priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.

%u201CWhat I value most about Pastor Wright is his day-to-day political advice,%u201D
Obama said. %u201CHe%u2019s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am
speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I%u2019m not losing
myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that%u2019s involved in national
politics.%u201D

Wishful demagoguery on your part Swillin Hill and McVain fans. A soon as you rumpelstilskin yourself into the ground, we can get on with positive change for America. That will be a first for this millenium.
