Somebody, please, tell the Obamas to stop clapping for themselves. It''s unpresidential. Leaders of countries politely wave to acknowledge an audience; they don''t join applause that began for them. Standup comics, movie stars and Celine Dion get away with it, but it''s still tacky.

afsc30574 - What about Sen. Obama''s landslide victory in Iowa, a state that is 98% white? I get so sick of hearing that the white population is not supporting Obama....it''s simply SPIN, nothing more.

Obama speech was great. i have to give him a lot of credit, most people including myself, could not go up there and praise a person who
has just insulted you and disrepected you and your18 mil voters, I guess she is trying to
blackmail him with her clan of female voters,Hold your ground obama and send her back to NY.

Sen. Barack Obama hold''s very little appeal with Non-Democrat Whites, and less appeal for White Democrats than before the primaries. Most Americans - and I mean all races - don''t think in terms of race. We are not perfect in this, sometimes we fail; but that doesn''t change that we are fair-minded people, and that is who we are trying to be. Sen. Obama is all about race, and only about race. Not because of his skin color, but because that is who he has chosen to be. His book shows his intolerance of Whites, his demand that he be seen as a victim, and his sense of entitlement. As we hear more comments like those about "typical white pople", more Americans of all races will reject Sen. Obama''s race-based ideals.

It would be "HORRIFIC" if Obama should win the general election. The supporters do not understand what they are supporting: Higher taxes, socialized government, an unsafe country with an inexperianced hypocrit, and a man who does not "get" what it means to be qualified to lead a nation at war. MCCAIN 2008.

He showed us why he was chosen last night. As usually it was all about Unity. Hillary is still promoting Division. And the two Do Not Mix.
