One cand stand on his head and pray, but obama will never be president and the RNC will to it, with the aid of Rezko, this man is not qualified for senator but due to graft and bribes he got there. He with the aid and help of the RNC got the nomination but they now know as the world does he is MUSLIM and the rnc and the white public voting machine will not allow such to become president, if black maybe but a muslim never.
I bet now that he will be the losser of the election and it is still several months until November and the reason Mrs Clinton does not want to be on the ticket is he will loose and then in ''12 she will be able to run and win and he will not be around to upset the democrats with the assistance of the RNC.
The best of good byes to the democrat hope.

You fake democrates are a piece of work. Everyone of you have relatives that use the "N" word or racist comments, but does that make you a racist because you are related to them or know them? Do you stop associating with that family member or friend? I have family members and friends that make comments and take stances I certainly don''t agree with, do I never speak to them again? Crawl back under your racist rocks. Very little has changed in a racially divided America, say what ever you will. It''s about his skin color and nothing else. Please vote for McCain,that''s the good thing about America you have a choice. If you think the last 7 1/2 years were bad, wait until you have 4 years of John McCain.

[taotxzen]

Here is an example of what I am saying:

Fact:

According to Congressional Quarterly, McCain Sided With Bush In 100% of 2008 Votes

Senator John McCain has voted with President Bush 100% of the time in 2008 and 95% of the time in 2007.



Fiction:

McCain policy advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin now argues that it is Senator Obama %u2013 not McCain %u2013 who wants to continue Bush%u2019s fiscal policies. Obama%u2019s budget %u201Cis dedicated to the recent Bush tradition of spending money on everything,%u201D he said.

[rufisgufis]

All of those who like this economy, who love this war, who love the price of fuel, who can''t wait until Roe v Wade is overturned, who can''t wait to invade Iran, tax breaks for the rich, and love the fact that the US is one of the most reviled countries in the world, you should all vote for McSame.

[taotxzen]

The thing that people need to realize is who will actually decide the election; the candidates, the corporate media or the voters? Just consider this, who will get the most time on the cooperate media; the actual candidates or the %u201Cspin doctors%u201D from each party that engage in the %u201Che said, she said%u201D crossfire version of campaign coverage that the corporate media loves?

Who is going to fact check any of these statements that these paid pundits make, the cooperate media? They will dominate the election coverage spewing any statement, however inaccurate and never be called on it. Hell of a way to run an election%u2026

"Hillary would never want to do something that would impact another person''s chances and jeopardize their seats,"...

Clinton is not a bad person. She is the most realistic Senator in Congress. Sure not many people may like what she has said, but it''s because she''s so outspoken and so committed that makes her a great Senator, and it certainly would have made her a better president than Obama. You can''t be a pushover in the tumultuous world of Washington politics, especially if your a woman. Her tenacity and willpower has influenced many Americans to keep following their dreams. Obama has influenced us to keep listening to the flowery words of politicians. Obama may have talked us into nominating him to the presidency, but it is Hillary Clinton who will champion us in Washington. Like it or not, it''s reality.

[hinnis]

I%u2019m amused by Obama apologists who suggest we should not consider his associations as relevant to his character and judgment. They say that we should ignore all racist and anti-American statements made by his close advisers and associates when deciding whether he is a suitable President, and only consider statements made by Obama himself; a man who is trying to convince us to vote for him come November.

We''re supposed to ignore the racist and anti-American rants of Rev. Wright, his 20-year "mentor and spiritual adviser." We''re supposed to ignore his new pastor, Otis Moss who has claimed that Wright was "lynched" by the media and compared the him to Jesus; and who refused to deny claims by Wright that the U.S. was involved in distributing illegal drugs to minorities or spreading AIDS to blacks. We are supposed to ignore another Obama adviser, Rev. Meeks, and his racist and anti-gay sermons. We are supposed to ignore Obama''s friend and patron of 17 years, the convicted Tony Rezko and all of Obama''s equivocations about their relationship. We are supposed to ignore his friendship with William Ayres, the unrepentant terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and a police station. And now, we are supposed to ignore the racist and despicable rants of another of Obama''s long-time friends and advisers, Father Pfleger.

How many racists and terrorists does this man have to associate with before the public finally realizes that he is the company he keeps?

[jesterbellee]

My name is Barack Obama! And I am the savior of America? I am your savior? I can solve all the problems in our nation? I can solve all of your problems? I will bring my change to you? I am your savior? Will you let me save you.? I can heal you? Vote for me because I will change you? Do you not want me to change you? I am your savior? Please let me save you? I love you? I care for you? Let me save you?
Plantation days here we come!
This is not mud slinging? This came from the black authorities in America, Dr. James Forbes , Dr. James Cone,David Manning Phd. Dr. Cornel West.Do you realize who these people are?
They do not want Obama because Obama will bring us back to plantation days!

THIS IS THERE QUOTES NOT MINE!

[renonv5]

Well, Hillary has exited stage left. I was all for her being the next potus, but, it seems that was not in the cards. I admire her courage and strength going up against the men who run things in this country. I hope she takes a long and much deserved hiatus. While she is away we will all be able to see how Obama handles the upcoming election. It will take a long time for alot of us to lean towards him and give him our vote, but I personally want to wait and see what he can do and what he is all about. Thanks again Hillary and Godspeed!!

Maybe this isn''t the right time to point this out, but yeah I think the woman who finally does become the first female President will have the empathy level of the normal woman. Like maybe they''ll have Hillary''s strength and confidence level, but in addition will have empathy. Just my opinion, and I''m female by the way . . .
