In today''''s culture, is it even worth trying to remind people that the Black Power "fist bump" salute was, for those who brandished it most seriously, a symbol of violence -- rhetorical, political and literal -- against the United States? It was the high sign for a racist militia, the Black Panthers, which orchestrated the murder of innocents and allied itself with America''''s enemies. In today''''s lingo, you might even say Black Power was "divisive"

The fact will always remain, Obama is not experianced and no amount of popularity or charisma will change that.

Isn''t it about time America faced the reality that the ''tried and true'' has far better odds (to make any positive changes in the future) than the ''uncertain and new?''

"If you are young and not liberal you have no heart, and if you are old, and not conservative, you have no brains. "

If Obama wants to play hard ball, he will lose terribly because McCain will whip him good.

I can''t believe Obama would say that McCain is going around telling people not to vote for Obama because he''s black!

Talk about injecting race into the campaign.

Not WRIGHT for America (www.notwrightforamerica.com) deserves a hat tip on this one--they have a good post on this and it looks like they were among the first to notice it.

Obama later added: "It''s a leap, electing a 46-year-old black guy named Barack Obama," he said, noting that the message Republicans have for voters is simple: "He doesn''t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bill."

Nice.....

They know that you%u2019re not real happy with them. And so the only way they figure they%u2019re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,"


Oh gee, what could we possibly be scared of. A fellow that is a media creation with no practical experience of any kind, very little political experience, no military experience and no financial or private sector experience. What''s there to be frightened of. He''s got a nice smile.
