Democrats sure seem to have their panties in a bunch over this non-entity.

Of course, they are not known as a very courageous bunch.

Here is a recent interview-

Seems pretty coherent and capable to me.

Certainly no less so than anyone else running.

Obama is not the product of traditional DNC politics which gave us Gore and Kerry, for example. Those campaigns were driven by corporate money and were top-down, traditional efforts. They failed.

Today, the Democratic Party which you loyally supported has ideals best represented by Obama. While Obama is not perfectly repreentative of the "ground-up" approach, he is much more the polar opposite of the Clinton campaign machinery, which was much more "top-down".

In contract, the Clinton approach was replete with multiple lines of interlocking support which crossed party lines-- with predictable policy consequences. For example, Hillary voted for the consumer credit bill of 2005-- written by and for the credit card and lending industry.

We can let Obama speak for himself-- he is doing a fine job of inspiring America with new hope and horizons the old politics never offered.

Agreed. I saw Nader''s last interview. The guy is already half-baked. I''m thinking, at his age, maybe one mini-stroke too many.

Re: "Just because his family immigrated from the Middle East doesn''t mean he knows jack about the Middle East."

True.

Re: "Most Americans immigrated from somewhere. Do you think that in itself qualifies them to be experts on where they originally came from?"

Not at all. But Mr. Nader''s, foreign policy knowledge, his extensive first hand experience in the Middle East, and his decades of study and analysis of this topic does definitely qualify him as an expert.

unfortunately throughout history, race has been used against folks. it IS shameful. Culture is a beautiful thing.

[dnsallday]

huh? Barack Obama was raised by his white mother and white grandparents from Kansas! Why is it, exactly, that he shouldn''t be talking ''white''?

Good point. What God created to protect us from our various environments (a gift), man has found a way to use it to hate each other. SHameful.
