Most Americans don''t read. Instead of wasting time watching misleading clips, ads and spin on TV, why not actually understand the candidates by reading books written by them? Commercial TV has a vested interest in improving ratings by resorting to sensationalism. In ''The Audacity of Hope'' Obama not only explains his views on a wide range of subjects but also presents elaborate arguments to support them. Clinton is less convincing.

REV WRIGHT WENT TO PRAY WITH BILL CLINTON AFTER HE HAD *** WITH MONICA IN THE WHITE HOUSE OVAL OFFICE. I BET HIS DNA IS STILL ON THE OVAL OOFICE DESK. YET REV WRIGHT WAS A INVITED PREACHER TO COME PRAY WITH THE CLINTONS WHEN THEY WERE BEING IMPREACHED. WOW HOW THEY CLINTONS HAVE THROWN REV WRIGHT UNDER THE BUS.

Hillary Clinton and her husband have served and worked with the black community and leaders for decades. Barack has lived in his hole in Chicago and has done not even 1/10th of the work the Clintons have in this area. Yet... he is getting 90% of the black vote...?
SLAYER I AM NOT BILLS OR HILLARY SLAVE, WE DONT OWE THEM NOTHING, THEIR JOB AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS TO WORK FOR ALL AMERICANS, WE DO NOT OWE THE CLINTONS A DAYUM THING, WHEN BIOLL WAS BEING KICKED AROUND FOR SPEELING WITH YOUNG GIRLS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BLACK LEADERS AND PEOPLE STOOD WITH HIM, THATS PAYMENT ENOUGH. UNDER THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION THE BIGGEST MINORITY HOUSING PROJECT WAS PRISONS AND LAWS THAT SENT DRUG ADDICTS TO JAIL FOR 50 YEARS VEREUS TREATMENT - THANKS BILL, BLACKS DIDNT NEED HOMES, WE NEEDED MORE PRISONS, YOU USED HUD VERY WELL.

seal1416 I AGREE

FROM WHAT I READ IN MY BIBLE I AND I ALONE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FORT MY WORDS, DEEDS AND THOUGHST, NOT ANYONE ESLE, TO HOLD OBAMA ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERY LITTLE DUMB THING SOMEONE ESLE SAYS IS RACIST IT IS PRE-JUDGING, WE ARE NOT GOD TO JUDGE THAT MAN, AND GOD IS GREATER THEN AMERICA AND ITS FLAG, THESE FOLKS HAVE REPLACED GOD FOR FLAG AND PATRIOTISM, MY LOYALTY IS TO GOD NOT EARTH AND DIRT.

BLACK AMERICANS HAVE DIED ON EVERY BATTLE FIELD AMERICA HAS BEEN ON, AND OUR PATRIOTISM IS QUESTIONED. WHITE AMERICANS CAN CUSS POLICE OUT, BUT A BLACK MAN BETTER NOT, WHITE MEN CAN BURN THE FLAG, BUT BLACK MEN BETTER WEAR THE LAPEL, WHITE MEN CAN BLOW UP FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN OKLAHOMA, THEIR IS NOT A HISTORY OF ONE BLACK MAN BLOWING UP ANYTHING IN AMERICA, YET OUR PATRIOTISM IS QUESTIONS? IF THATS NOT RACISM, THEN WHAT IS? THE SO CALLED WEATHER MEN WAS PARDONED BY BILL CLINTON - A PARDON IS AMERICA''S FORGIVENESS. WE FORGAVE THOSE WHITE PEOPLE WHO ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP AMERICA BASES, YET WE QUESTION OBAMA PATRIOTISM BECAUSE HE ATTENDED A CHURCH? IF THIS IS NOT RACISM, THEN WHAT IS? WE WATCHED BILL CLINTON BASICALLY MOLEST AND RAPE WOMEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS, YET WHITE WOMEN DISTRUST OBAMA A MARRIED MAN WITH TWO DAUGHTERS HE WOULD DIE FOR? IS THATS NOT RACISM, THEN WHAT IS?

And I believe there IS a race component to this. A lot of the so-called white ethnics, are RACISTS. You will find more racists in trailer parks than suburbs. That''s a fact. Hillary is getting the trailer trash vote. She should be very proud.

Why are the republicans in favor of Hillary? They are scared to run against Obama. They know Hillary''s negatives are way too high to win. Hell if she steals this from Obama, the black vote may go for McCain or stay Home.

Obama is the only democrat who can beat mccain at this point.

I believe Rev. Wright has been consistenly misquoted - He said "God D***ed America - past tense. There is a huge difference in meaning for those of us who are literate. At any rate, I take exception to those remarks who say Obama is a fraud, an empty suit, or too liberal. To say that is to totally ignore his work as senator and most of you are too lazy and too ignorant and just plain don''t care enough to get the facts of his record. He''s a good man. The biggest problem is that he doesn''t want to play the "politics as usual" game which is how Hillary is operating. It''s really too bad for this country that "we" are looking for a president who is "one of us." That will ensure we stay mired in the dog**** we''ve been drowned in the past eight years.

It bothers me that SO MANY PEOPLE IN POLITICS TALKS ABOUT THEIR RELIGION, THEIR FAITH, HOW THEY ARE BROUGHT UP IN THE CHURCH and THESE SAME PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO DESTROY CANDIDATES, CAST DOUBT WITH VOTERS, AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. IT''S UP TO US AS VOTERS TO KNOW WHERE THE CANDIDATES STAND ON ISSUES WHICH IMPACT OUR DAILY LIVES. WE SHOULD BE ABOUT TRUTH AND THE TRUTH IS WE ALL HAVE SAT IN CHURCHES LISTENED TO THINGS THAT WERE BOTHERSOME TO US; NOBODY IS EXCEPT FROM THIS. WE HAVEN''T LEFT OUR CHURCH INSTEAD PRAYED ABOUT THE SITUATION THAT REVELATION VIA PRAYER AND READING GODS WORD WILL COME AND WENT ON WITH OUR LIVES. NC REPUBLICAN PARTY ACT AS IF THEY ARE ABOVE THE FRAY AND THAT''S TROUBLING TO ME. WE ARE ALL GUILTY. WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN WE''RE ARE DEALING WITH GOD''S CHOSEN PEOPLE AND THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, PRAY, FAST, READ THE WORD OF GOD AND BELIEVE/TRUST IN HIM. THIS ELECTION SHOULD BE ABOUT THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT PEOPLE LIVES, INSPIRE THEM TO VOTE AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS OR DREAMS, WORKING TOGETHER TO BRING ABOUT A CHANGE FOR ALL AMERICANS NOT SOME. IT''S BOTHERSOME TO SEE HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER. THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND STRONG. ISN''T IT? I THOUGHT SO, LET''S BUILD EACH OTHER UP AND NOT TEAR DOWN. IF WE TEAR DOWN WE MAY GET TORN DOWN. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!
