Read Obama''s book and then decide who is the "divisive" candidate....

"I ceased to advertise my mother''''s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites" "never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn''''t speak to my own. It was into my father''''s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I''''d packed all the attributes I sought in myself." "That hate hadn''''t gone away," he wrote, blaming "white people %u2014 some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."

But that is how they''ve learned to survive, is to be that combative, to be that confrontational.

To be combative is to be strong, and fight for what needs to be done. That''s what we''re going to have to have in the White House to fix this country.

Tom Daschle: Well, without enumerating all the things that occurred in the 90''s, all of us--Democrats and Republicans--were at each other''s throats a lot. And that combativeness is something that goes on today.

And this is Hillary''s fault???? Good Gawd...what a buffoon.

During Bill Clintons reign of blunders in the 1990s, nuclear technology was transfer to Russia for development of advanced nuclear power program to encourage peaceful uses of nuclear technology. Russia has since been selling that technology to Iran. Clinton did the same thing with North Korea, who then sold the technology to Pakistan. Now both North Korea and Pakistan have the bomb. If Hillary wants the credit for her husbands so-called success then she needs to take responsiblities for his failures.

Two days in a row and two negitive articles about Obama and his campaign. Yesteday it was Obama supporters are like members of a cult. BS. I am a republican, always voted republican except now because I support Obama. Today there is this article. Look at the anti-Obama negative tone of teh CBS questions.

Weeks ago I thought it was very clear that CNN supports Hillary Clinton based on the commentary I heard. Now CBS looks like Hillary supporters as well.

CBS please stop the bias.

CBSNews asked, "If you assume Senator Obama becomes the nominee, do you worry that Senator McCain can say to people, %u201CImagine a foreign policy crisis. A terrorist has just struck the United States. Who do you want to be sitting in that chair? Somebody with zero foreign policy experience? Or somebody with 25 years of foreign policy experience?%u201D

I''m surprised that Daschle didn''t simply state that Barack has already stated in his book, "Audacity of Hope" just how he would handle it. Obama wrote, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Based on this article Obama is implying that the super delgates should vote for whoever wins that state. It seems to me then he is saying that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry should cast their votes as super delegates for Hillary and not for Obama.

Also, did anyone else catch David Schuster last night on MSNBC? He asked if Hillary and Bill were "pimping out" Chelsea on the campaign trail. That seems a pretty poor choice of words but heck should I have expected any different from the sexists at MSNBC (Olbermann and Abrams excluded).

Tom, we sense your anger just as we sense the anger of Kerry and Teddy. You all reached for the goal and failed. Don''t let your anger fuel the arrogance of Obama that he has shown time and again. You are feeding the inferno that destroys the party. If you want to be part of this destruction, then reap the loss in November for John McCain will reap the reward, and in a huge victory.
