Bubba: Obama Is Just Like Jesse Jackson

WOW. It is hard to believe that Clinton would dredge up something like that. He is pettier that I could have imagined. My beef is with Hillary though. Her background with decimating American jobs

I’m sick of the media trying to make this a racial contest. Obama won because his message of change is preferred by voters. I hope people won’t be influenced by the race baiting.

This is “code-speak” for whites that hate Jesse Jackson’s racially charged campaigning. And sadly, many whites may fall for it just because they heard Bill say it. Disgusting and sad. Other politicians from both parties need to pull his punk card. Jimmy Carter and Al Gore would be perfect in this capacity. But like most Democrats, they have NO gumption.

White female here. I’ve really had it with the Clintons. I will support Obama. If he doesn’t get the nomination, I will either vote for a Republican, or sit it out. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. I will not support anything divisive. I am sick to death of how afraid and how divided we are. Barack Obama or John Edwards were my choices. And I am a contemporary of Hillary. I am 60.

The Clintons are really shameless. It’s hard to believe they’re trying to bring down the most popular political figure in decades… and playing the race card on top of it.

Watching Hillary’s JOKE of a concession speech …she could not inspire a fly…note they took every Black person in the crowd and placed them on the seats right behind HER for the cameras…how predictable and despicable.

How embarrassing was it to watch the pundits on CNN tonight? They couldn’t even manage an attempt to cover their glee over, not Obama’s victory, but Clinton’s defeat. The seedy, toothless, visage known as Carl Bernstein was almost wetting himself. I couldn’t even bring myself to switch to MSNBC for fear of seeing Chris Matthews drool himself to death. If you don’t believe their reactions validated Bill Clinton’s take on the media, then I will sell you the line that race played no part in the outcome of the South Carolina primary. And you will believe it, because you saw it on tv.

As long as people depend on POLS for a life, they won’t have one, or deserve one.

The Clinton’s say essentially the same things about Edwards. Does that make them racists against whites? What the hell is so important about having a black man as President? Or a woman for that matter? How about we do something really crazy and just vote for the best qualified? Of course, the best qualified is not running but maybe just the best qualified out of the choices we do have. I think Obama would make a great President…after eight years of training.

None of this matters. The party system has broken the back of our country, and it will not get any better. America will be a short lived power. Shorter than Rome by a long shot.
You can’t get to a position of running for President in this country without embodying the very qualities that would continue to destroy our country.

Fact: 53-55% voters are black, 80% of that goes to Obama.
Who is surprised? Edwards?

Bottom line in all of this tonight…The Clintons have proven to all… who have their eyes, ears and minds open ,who they truly are= double faced Liars out for themselves only …hungry for Power only, Love for themselves only and not their Country. Good Luck to us All!!

As a Republican, I have to smile when I see democrats make comments like, “Gee, I had no idea the Clintons were so sleazy!” For the sake of my party, I hope the Clintons win the nomination, but for the sake of my country, I hope the public revulsion they so richly deserve, deprives them of a second stay in the White House.

My request to all you Democrats out there — isn’t this race baiting an attack to all your self-professed progressive values? Do you want the Clintons to represent your party and values that are dear to you? As a person who is right of center, the greater tragedy is not as much as Pres Clinton attacking Sen Obama but those Democrats who support the Clintons and want Sen Clinton to be the next President. I request you to ask yourselves — do we want the viciousness and poison to continue? As much as I disgree with Sen Obama’s progessive bend, he is a likable person — someone I can have a civil dialog and debate with, unlike the Clintons.

Holy freaking crap!!!
Stop saying not to vote
for Obama because he is a Muslim!
HE IS NOT, AND IF HE WAS, IT WOULD
BE UN-AMERICAN TO DENY HIM A FAIR ELECTION
FOR RACE OR RELIGION!!!
It is really annoying! It is offensive to me as an American and as someone who hates racism, and I’m a white Christian, so theres another stereotype to flush down the toilet!

You know the saddest thing I get out of reading half these comments is individual’s shock to President Clinton’s actions. Wake up, you that now disagree with it said nothing about these tactics when Billy crossed the unwritten rule with Jimmy Carter of bashing a current President. Time for you all to experience what you’ve ignored for so long and I’ll sit back and laugh at you as your jaws hit the floor with every Clinton Comment.
And FYI, great Democratic followers, Race was brought up in Iowa by none other than Obama….selective listening and understanding is more apparent every time I read up on the Democratic side of things….g’day

Bill Clinton is looking more and more like King Kong–in the 1933 movie version–in which he holds aloft a terrified Fay Wray–here the Democratic Party–while raging: “Love me! Love me!”

I can’t wait for Obama to win.
It can be done!

the clintons scare me. i liked him when he was president . enough is enough. they now remind me of karl rove.

Get a young(er) Republican or get a really, really, good, younger Vice President for McCain. The best candidates aren’t running to begin with, but ‘none of the above’ is not an option in the general election. Colin Powell should be drafted by both Democrats and Republicans. His leadership and government experience combined, far exceeds any candidate I’ve seen so far in the 2008 contest. U.S. Army General, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State are his positives. What more do you want?

What the Clinton’s are getting is that people actually LIKE Obama!

enough racism, folks. obama is the real thing. the clintons are ghosts from the past. the GOP, so obviously, is long since out of ideas.

The thing is, the Clintons aren’t personally racist. They’re simply people who will do anything to win an election, including bringing race into the campaign and trying to racially divide the electorate. If that’s what it takes to win then that’s what they’ll do.

Obama is the “real thing” (a far left liberal who uses big rhetoric without substance).

Greg, we will all be dead and gone before the myth is realized through folklore, that ” W will end up being seen as one of our best Presidents with morals and convictions” George W. Bush’s only convictions were to ruin this country for you and me and our children. He almost succeeded. By the way only those with a third grade education and poor would think that Bush was a good President. The rich know that he was no good, that is the reason they paid him to provide them more tax breaks how much did you get paid. That 10 dollar an hour job wasb’t worth it.

Lance, you must be a Dennis Kucinich backer !!

franc, i am not a far left liberal who uses rhetoric without substance. i am left, and left of the center of the democratic party, true. but i am content there and can defend my positions. when i say he is the real thing i mean that he is a new generation, a new voice, a new look, a new kind of intellect. i want that.

The results in Iowa, NH & SC prove this race isn’t about race! It’s about one color ……………………………. “RedWhite&Blue” and we Americans are & will vote it. There is no room in our society anymore for any other color!

steve, the we conservatives only vote on ideas and not on symbols idea is old and stale. we liberals only vote on ideas, too, not on symbols. sorry. try again!

For the longest time, I thought that Republicans were preposterous when they spoke about the Clinton “machine”. I thought Republicans were making up some illusion to get their base excited and increase turn out. As a democrat, I have witnessed some of what they have been talking about. The truth, it is Obama against the Clintons (both of them) One gives the perception that she is playing by the rules, offering a positive agenda for the nation; on the other hand, the former president, in “attack dog” form, goes and tries to devour his wife’s opponent with distortions and half truths. Just today Mr. Clinton, tried to lump Obama with the likes of Jesse Jackson, a figure as polarizing as the Clintons themselves.
I have to admit my spirit was damped, hurt by what happened coming out of New Hampshire. The former president, whom I defended in the past, has showed me his true self. I was grossly offended, personally, to the point where I asked myself, is this the kind of mess I want to see in the White House, after the devastation caused by now President Bush.
South Carolina has given me reason to HOPE again in spite of what the road looks like- God is good.

Both Clinton and Obama have a positive agenda for America. Problem is we don’t what it is and those two don’t know either.
Clintons….please just go away

Good idea!
McCain/Condi in 2008!
Romney/Condi in 2008!
Either of these would be one heck of a ticket! She would be only the second PhD to ever serve as an executive (second only to Woodrow Wilson). Her experience as President of Stanford University is excellent! Good stuff!
This ticket would have my vote!!!

Uh huh… so assuming that Bill also says that race has nothing to do with anything, I suppose he will compare ANY candidate in the future that wins South Carolina to Jesse Jackson?

Let the major media keep telling you what to think.

For those of you with short memories, John Kerry and John Edwards both came way ahead of Al Sharpton in the 2004 SC democratic primaries. Both of them got more black votes. Sharpton onlt got 10% of the vote. What does this mean? It means black voters in SC do not vote on the basis of race or they would have voted for Sharpton. Bill Clinton conveniently forgets these more recent facts and only remembers Jesse Jackson’s campaigns in the 1980s.

“:the fact is that the white man started the slave trade and the modern day black man deserves payment for time and suffering.”
Terrance, are you mad?
you should get your facts stright.
BLACK Tribal leaders SOLD their own to the white man to trade. This started in Africa.Fact.

“I care that they are both BAD CANDIDATES for the highest office in the entire world. Should we elect such terrible choices as the leader of the free world? NO!!! They are not smart enough or trustworthy enough to win my vote!”
Obama graduated 1st in his class from Harvard Law School. Suggesting that he is not smart enough to be president, considering George W. Bush’s tenure, is laughable.

After reading all of this I can say that most Democrats are beginning to understand just how destructive the Clintons have been and will be to our country if elected again. Somehow it is different when you see what they do to another Democrat that, although very liberal, is trying to run a meaningful campaign. We conservatives tried for years (although not very well or very effectively) to get you to see how poisonous Bill and Hillary are to our country. Take a good look and then back someone who might at least be somewhat honest and able to unite people if not conservative.
As a conservative, I’m not too happy with the Republican field either. However,if we truly want a person who can effectively lead our country, then there is someone who has proven his metal several times. Rudy showed his ability to lead effectively as the Mayor of our country’s largest city in cleaning up the crime and during and after 9/11. I don’t personally like some of what he would do, but he would see that our country was both safe and economically sound so that we would be able to argue over our liberal and conservative ideologies.
The Clintons will truly say and do anything to be back in power. Obama is a nice man who would be a disaster as president. All would spend like there is no tomorrow, just like Bush and congress have done for seven years. McCain would do the same and is essentially no different from the Clintons except that he would try to protect our country.
The thing that I don’t understand about you Democrats and Republicans is why you don’t understand that without a strong economy and without being strong militarily, we won’t have a free country for very long. Please go out and take simple courses in economics and History of the United States (the real history, not what they are trying to teach my grandchildren nowadays), and try to learn the lessons of the past.
Quit with the class envy and class warfare. Quit with the racism. Quit wanting the government to try and run everything. Quit saying that the president runs the country. All the government does is to screw most things up and spend too much doing it.
If nothing else though, just don’t let the Clintons back for another four or eight years. PLEASE don’t!

I want someone to please explain to me why anyone would vote for HILLARY CLINTON after BILL CLINTON went against most of the other Democrats in congress and joined with most of the Republicans to pass NAFTA and WTO free trade agreements.
The Republicans didn’t have enough votes to pass it through congress, so Bill Clinton twisted the arms of other Democrats in congress to vote with the Republicans too pass it. Then as President Bill Clinton, signs it into LAW.
Does anyone really think America can have free trade agreements (like NAFTA and WTO) with third world countries that pay their workers 1/20th of what American Companies pays our workers?
We should cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada, United States and Mexico.
Then pull out of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
All these politicians in BOTH PARTIES are presently “FREE TRADING” America into a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
If the American people disagree with what I’m saying, that will not change or stop the Destruction of America. If America stays in NAFTA and the WTO, Americans will absolutely end up losing everything.
In the end, all the International Companies will lose everything too. They will all be forced into Bankruptcy because the whole world will end up in a ONE HUGE WORLD WIDE DEPRESSION.
I’m sorry but, that’s where we are headed. GOD please help us from ourselves.

All of the talk about America being the problem makes me sick. It’s very easy for you to blame America and want equality with other countries while you are safe and protected by the finest military in the world. Our ancestors who fought two world wars to keep us free would be frantic to see what this has all come to. It’s true that we can never seem to learn from the past and will never appreciate what we have until we’ve lost it. All of you who seem to think you have it so bad, but who have it better than any other people the world has ever seen, should remember these days when we have lost it all because of leaders such as the Clintons.

I don’t know what all the talk about Obama’s “inexperience” is. So what if he’s young. Perhaps some older folk will refrain from choosing him based on that, but that sure didn’t stop JFK. And there is a LARGE, younger, voting-age population whose energy will be mobilized to put him up there.
We do need change. I’ve suffered through the Bushes long enough. Sure, things were good in the Clinton years, and “Dubya” stole the election (and I seriously doubt 9-11 would’ve happened had Dubya not been in office), but their image was tarnished with the Lewinsky affair, and “they” are just not morally right for leadership. Obama is the right person, at the right time.
Mr. Obama, whatever happens, and whatever people say, continue to carry yourself with class and distinction, and your future will be a bright one, and of distinguished service to your country!

The Clintons destroyed the Democratic party once. We lost both houses of Congress.
She doesn’t even qualify as an independent woman running for President.
I really have no clue where they have anyone’s support – it would be like the Republicans nominating Rumsfeld, Cheney, or Rove.
The 60s are over, people. Let’s move on.

By general acclamation, the Clintons are total class-less zeroes. Obama ? He keeps using the word “change” in every another sentence. There are an obvious three questions that have to be asked: one, what needs to be changed if anything; 2.) why does it need to be changed; and, 3.0 what are you going to improve what you’;re changing. People need to see that change for the sake of change is for bored adolescents who have no sense of history and even less sense of the consequences of their actions. Obama wants to pull the troops out of Iraq. What happens then ? Is he prepared for the consequences in a real-life world; a world that doesn’t operate on sound-byte campaign slogans and a slick exterior. Enough of the fixation of this man’s melanin count. Somebody should be asking this man hard questions about real-world issues. Frankly, I don’t think he packs the gear to serve in the Oval Office.

You don’t know why Obama’s “inexperience” is an issue?
Let’s see. As much political experience as Bill Clinton in 1992, a better education, more civil rights work, and several months older than him.
Yet somehow the Clintons have convinced us he’s less experienced, younger, and less intelligent.
Better academically than Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, as much legislative experience as the two of them combined, and he has sponsored several times as many bills as they have VOTED on in their history.
Yet Obama is less intelligent and less experienced.
Hm. What one attribute do Edwards and the Clintons have that makes his intelligence and experience count LESS than theirs…. I wonder….
Oh, but race is definitely not an issue in this campaign. :)

I’m not sure that Bubba is real. Does he think his comments and opinions are really helping? Seems he is doing more harm than good. But if his political party and his wife are willing to allow him to continue, they better hope they are making the right decision. Do we, as Americans, after all that we have seen and been through, really want a Clinton White House again? It’s time for change. And I hope for America that the right changes are available. Be smart, vote smart.

I have had enough of the tag team of the clintons. if obama failed, john mcain has my vote. will some one please send the clintons home

Ok -I am not even going to vote for either of the two candidates** but none the less this is fair regardless – a long time ago we gave up anything to do with race or black candidates so that’s out nobody cares racism has no power in politics anymore and its pointless nobody should care that Bill is taking an active role in the campaigning. That is an advantage anyone would use and hill is an ambitious woman – we all knew he would speak and Bill Clinton if anything is a “Dynamic Speaker”. . . I personally disagree with their views on our public policy and I am not in favor of anyone to be quite honest yet I will still vote as it’s my right to be forced to pick someone that slightly meets my beliefs as I think it will always be that way. Some times our society focuses on the wrong things and its easy to promise things before STUFF happens regardless if its favorable ( I know I am being really vague) here is an example of Stuff –“Halliburton: housing market – Enron – 911- all kinds of things Katrina for Gods sakes. Countries and there ever growing competition for power- things are not very stable world wide. We have adjusted in the past – “being on top of the food chain.” – Now we are slowly loosing our place, once the greatest country this planet had, and predominately respected through it existence we are less and less favorable in the world- our morals have declined- The Foreign policy needs to adjust to the world and how we have changed as a culture whether for better or worse this is America and we must survive to give us Americans the best opportunity for life and please I mean Americans too because first we have to stand on our feet before we can help others – heard that one before, I have!. If it weren’t for our government and its federal student loans I would not be able to sit in my room typing this comment in the middle of doing my political science homework – the thing is… It’s sad truly we notice the things shallowest in our candidates they are flawed men we are all flawed in some defect in some sense. I am thankful I have the ability to post this in my country – in another state away from home in school. Thank you everyone and for posting comments with me thought I may not agree with some of the outlandish things I have read – Richard MDW

What does Obama mean when he says, “We”?

I am deeply sadden by Caroline’s endorsement of Senator Obama. I understand that she feels he is inspiring, but what we need now is more than just inspiration.
I have to wonder if Caroline would have endorsed Senator Obama, if Jackie Kennedy Onassis was still alive. Jackie was very fond of the Clinton’s stating how Bill and his visions reminded her of her husband. Jackie was a friend to Hillary often sharing stories of raising children in such a public eye.
Upon her death, John F Kennedy,Jr. sent the Clinton’s a hand written letter that said ” I wanted you both to understand how much your burgeoning friendship with my mother meant to her. Since she left Washington I believe she resisted ever connecting with it emotionally-or the institutional demands of being a former First Lady. It had much to do with the memories stirred and her desires to resist being cast in a lifelong role that didn’t quite fit. However, she seemed pro fondly happy and relived to allow herself to reconnect with it through you. It helped her in a profound way- whether it was discussing the perils of raising children in those circumstances or perhaps it was the many similarities between your presidency and my fathers”.
It appears that the Clinton’s not only inspired a nation, but also a former First Lady. Though I respect Caroline’s decision to talk of Obama’s inspiration and his great work in Chicago. It still does not take away from the facts, that his “resume” comes up short!!! Americans need more than inspiration after the Bush administration.
Americans need a proven leader who has traveled the “World” building relationships with foreign leaders. We need someone who has dedicated their entire adult life to helping the under privileged in our Country. Someone who has fought for civil, human and yes, woman’s rights. Not only here in America but across the globe. We need a proven voice that can reach out across party lines. We need someone who is battle tested. We need change for our failing economy. We need universal heathcare. We need jobs. We need to focus on our energy crisis. We need “our” men and woman home. Americans need a leader. Americans need Hillary Clinton!
Though Obama is a beautifully spoken and inspiring gentleman. I am inspired by the years of hard work and dedication that Hillary brings to the table. Kitchen table at that! I am inspired by her ability to stand strong during the media’s continuous bias. I am inspired by a woman who has been fighting for American since before I was born. I am inspired by her continued wiliness to make America better to help make Martin Luther King Jr. dreams a reality. The speeches she heard LIVE all those years ago when segregation was thought to be impossible there stood in Chicago a very young white girl, on a mission to learn and help. Hillary has dedicate her life to a cause so great it has empowered her during some of the toughest times. When most would have given in, she stands to fight for us again and again. That to me, is inspiration. Hillary Rodham Clinton is an inspiration to many Americans and Many Woman all over the WORLD!!!
Today I am endorsing Hillary Clinton. My voice is only one and I am not famous. I will not be on front pages of the dailies across the Country. I am not a Kennedy who swam along side of Chelsea, with her Mom and Bill and Hillary at Menemsha Harbor. I am not
“a perceptive friend and role model to Chelsea”, as Caroline Kennedy was regarded.
I am an American endorsing the only other American running who is qualified to lead and passionate enough to never forget us.
I am an Inspired American from Kentucky and I am proud to endorse, support and volunteer for the 44th President of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
My name is Robin and I not only approve this message, but I wrote it.

Nuclear Midnight says: “The Clintons are really shameless. It’s hard to believe they’re trying to bring down the most popular political figure in decades… and playing the race card on top of it.”
No it’s not. Not at all. They’re sleaze bags. Both of them. Shame on them.

The last thing Bill wants is for Hillary to get elected. Bill Clinton is obsessed with his legacy and he knows that if Hillary is elected, his presidency will be little more then a footnote in the history books. He would be remembered more for being the first male “first lady” then he would for even being president.

North Carolinians DO NOT endorse Barack OR Hillary. As a member of the GOP, I must say that things have been less than ideal lately. We MUST CLOSE the border, and prevent teh gov’t from running our lives. Think sheeple, DO NOT let Hillary win the democratic nomination.

Good thing Michelle Obama never mentioned that Walter Mondale or Dick Gephardt won New Hamshire in ’84 and ’88. God knows what people might have accused her of.
I guess it hadn’t occurred to anyone that the South Carolina results that Bill Clinton mentioned just happen to be the only instances of a South Carolina primary winner, (who had also won additional primaries), who didn’t go on to win the nomination in the past two decades.

I don’t want to go back to the sleazy Clinton’s of the 90′s. Who can forget Hillary going on the “Today Show” and saying her husbands alledged affairs were a “right wing conspiracy”. Remember the Clinton’s broke every campaign promise, the Dems lost the house and senate during the mid-term elections for the first time in 40 years. Only after the Republicans took control did we see balanced budgets and welfare reform. Bill Clinton just signed off on it.

I’m surprised Hillary didn’t cry after losing.

Bubba`s acting like a used car dealer fighting over a good corner location than a former President of the United States trying to “help” Hill.

Remember a lot of what is written here is written by the ultra conservative Drugereport crowd. The same people who look upon Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Ann Coulter as genius.
Stick together and pick a candidate who really knows how the Congress and Washington works. They won’t roll over because someone says they want “hope” and “change”, that is just campaign rhetoric and the the guy can’t debate the issues because he doesn’t really understand them.

To win, at any cost. The mantra of Clinton supporters.
Rather than being ecstatic that the country’s youth is supporting one of their own, they would rather divide the country to retain power – for fear that a young black man can’t possibly win?
Are we that afraid of Republicans that we can no longer stand for anything?
These remarks by Bill Clinton are racist and an embarassment. Think of how you might respond had they been uttered by the Republican opposition.
I’d greatly appreciate if the baby boomers might stand aside and allow the youth to enjoy their moment in the sun – without painting their candidate as a “black man”.
I’m sorry we didn’t grow up in your horrific world – but we didn’t, and we don’t think that way.
And it’s very sad you feel it necessary to perpetuate these types of racist attitudes and remarks.
Clinton deserves the same treatment as Senator Lott for his gaffe about Thurmond.
Let’s not be duplistic or opportunistic.
Dare to dream, without the influence of hallucenoginics, for the sake of generations to come.
Or do you plan to leave a legacy of total destruction in your wake?
As our generation would so eloquently state their opposition: “Step off!”

I am really upset at Bill Clinton’s behavior.
American tradition is that ex President’s stay above the fray. With his wife running, I can almost understand President Clinton dipping his toe into the fray, “if” indeed he were commenting purely on positions and taking the side of his wife.
What do we have instead. We have an ex President using inflammatory language like “fairy tale” and something that really upsets me is the racial baiting with the blacks vote for blacks and Jesse Jackson comment. I honestly feel this type of behavior is very dangerous in our democracy. While I think the Caroline Kennedy endorsement is motivated by Obama’s leadership skills, I think the timing is motivated by Kennedy’s concern over Clintons behavior.
The only positive for me in Clinton actions is that he has assured that I will vote…. for Obama

To equate Barack with Jesse Jackson, what a vicious insult!

BILL CLINTON KILLS ME. HE SAYS OK, I;LL BE QUIET. I’LL STOP BRINGING UP RACE. THEN HE BRINGS UP JESSIE JACKSON. HILERIOUS. LOL. BILL KNOWS THAT THE ONLY WAY HILLARY CAN WIN IS TO TURN THIS INTO A RACE WAR. WONT WORK THOUGH. IOWA WAS ALL WHITE, OBAMA WAS EXPECTED TO ONLY GET 10 PERCENT OF THE WHITE VOTE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, HE GOT 25, AND OBAMA EVEN WON AMONG WOMEN. HILLARY IS TOAST. LOL

Be careful what you wish for – you just might get it! Change for change sake isn’t always a good thing. This is about race…this election is about the safety and well-being of our nation. I have nothing against electing a black president or a female president but I don’t want a socialist president. What’s the difference between Obama and Clinton? Just the spelling, my friends….

Up until this caucus my vote was with the Clintons. Due to the negativity have turned to Obama. Am looking for a thriver more than a survivor. We need vision and unity in this country like never before and believe we are going to get it.

The media is talking about this for ratings. The media is saying Bill Clinton cause Hillary to lose votes over the past few day in SC. That’s not true at all! 83% of blacks voted for Obama in Nevada. The SC black votes was expected. In fact, Hillary gained black support in South Carolina. But, the media doesn’t mention that!
Nevada:
Vote by Race: African-American
Hillary: 14%
Obama: 83%
South Carolina:
Vote by Race: African-American
Hillary: 19%
Obama: 78%
Also, Before Iowa, the media was saying that if he won Iowa that blacks would flock to Obama because they would feel he had a chance of winning the nomination. The fact that blacks flocked to Obama is no surprise at all. It was expected. The whole race talk is made up by the media for ratings. That’s all it comes down to. Ratings.
Look at the facts. This is all about ratings. The race talk gives this website more hits (more money from the ads), it sells magazines, it gives cable TV shows ratings. The media is creating drama for their own benefit.

You guys go on and bicker. I’ll tell you what will happen. If Hill is nominated, a republican will win the White House. If you nominate Obama, you may have a chance. Stop assuming that you know how conservatives think.

LL, once again you seem to consider valid opinions as “invalid”,this reinforces my previous contention that it is you who are the fascist.
Thank heavens for the net, it allows open debate to counter the speech controlling types such as yourself & allows other readers a view into your controlling nature.

Months ago, I was hoping that Colin Powell would step forward. Black brown pink or yellow, I could respect him and felt that he would have a balanced view on national security and the place of our military in the big picture, and I felt that his experience was real and that age had brought him wisdom. I like to see a furrowed brow that shows someone has lived long enough in the turmoil to have a wide-screen perspective and a firsthand knowledge of consequences. He is not a light-weight.
I can’t think of any of the front-runners (Repub or Dem) that couldn’t be taken apart in the November election. I like each a little bit for different reasons—wish we could come up with a composite President from both parties.
In regard to race being brought up in the Demo campaign, I was pleased that it wasn’t an issue—–until Oprah inserted herself for what I felt to be support based on race. I just wish she hadn’t done that—because after that we were off at a gallop to big trouble. We should not break down according to racial lines—-but rather values and issues and concrete, well laid out plans for the future. On both sides, we need clarity and specificity.
I think Oprah, God love her, pre-empted Bill in the injection of racial allegiances in the campaign. Of course, it would have eventually reared its head somehow, but so much better later than now, when issues and plans need to be discussed and outlined.

What did Oprah say that could even remotely be miscontrued as being racist? Is there a difference between what she said about Mr Obama than what Caroline Kennedy Kennedy said? As far as I can see that both say that for the first time in their life they are “inspired” by a presidential candidate.

Bill Clinton learned his hateful style of campaigning from Dick Morris . . . a man far sleazier and detrimental to the political process than even Lee Atwater or Karl Rove.
What intrigues me is the way the traditional media is so willing to be manipulated by him and anxious to only cover the polls and the hoarse race

NOT HAPPY, luckily we have a congress who would limit any draconian types of reparations coming from the Black radicals which would inevitably surface once Obama got elected.
But it’s a moot point anyway, our dollar/economy/banking system has already collapsed – we just don’t know it yet.

That’s right, keep buying into the garbage people. Don’t think for yourselves. Believe what the tv tells you. Fight against yourselves, call it race, call it wealth, just keep fighting. Pretend that this election will change anything. Pull out your hate speech and joust each other. At the end of the day they have you doing exactly as they wished.
When will you wake up America?

aida: I noticed all the blacks behind Hillary, as well. When will blacks stop letting themselves be manipulated by the Democrats? Black people have been used and betrayed by Democrat power mongers (black and white) for four decades.

If Obama wins – that is reparation as far as I am concerned. Over! Done with! even steven!

My father told of how well we treated German prisoners of war when he was at Camp Swift, Texas, in WWII. Torture of prisoners has now ensured that I am a Republican for Obama.

Clinton is just doing what he’s always done. Only he’s focusing inward these days. A little-OK, a lot of tribal infighting between the Dems? Love it.

As a Republican I would rather that Hillary had won SC and that she win her party’s nomination because she would be easier to beat than Obama. But truthfully if I were a Democrat, God forbid, I would have voted for Obama. I just can’t imagine anybody wanting 4 or 8 more years of divisiveness, lying, cheating, trailer park antics, and the bringing down of our country’s morals like the Clintons did in the 90′s. How could anyone in their right mind think that more of that behavior is good for our country or a way forward? Just looking at Hillary’s smirk on camera all the time says enough to me to say no. The only sane suggestion I could make to Democrats is just to think more and not to vote with emotion so much.

it would and should be prudant to examine the amount of TAX money Mr.Clinton is using with secret service protection and transportation to parade around the country endorsing himself for another term or two under the pretence of support for his wife.election laws are being bent,if not broken and all americans are losing because of his arrogant choice to force himself on the good people who truly want to vote with a view of the real candidates.speak out.it is your turn. thank you.

Hillary and Bill Clinton cannot be explained. They are both dishonest in all sense of the word. To put them in the White House together is to invite disaster. They will do anything to win–lie, cheat and steal. It is unbelievable to me that they can garner any support at all. If you think this country is divided now look at it if you put these two liars back in office. My God, I would feel sorry for the Union.

For all the complaining the Democrats have done I’m really surprised they haven’t come up with better candidates. Is that all you got? Hell, Kerry and Gore were better. I look at the Republicans and I see 3 or 4 who are better than anyone in the Democratic race. I’d like to see us out of Iraq NOW! but I can’t see puttin the country back into the Clintons hands. It was his ‘peace dividend’ and slashing our defence that got us 9/11. And don’t give us the holier than thou attitude. JFK and LBJ got us into Vietnam which cost us 50,000. If you want a doer, put a guy in who has DONE something. Mitt Romney.

We need Hillary in the White in order for the USA to fall so far down we can than rise up and with all the viciousness we can muster obliterate the far left and progressives. Whoo Yeah

I would rather hear and read the entire
question and comment, I have had enough of the media spin on what was said.
But the fact is Jesse Jackson did win South Carolina because of the black vote, Obama won last night because of the black vote, this isn’t a no brainer. 80+% of the black vote went to Obama while 76% of the white vote voted for someone else. This was a racially charged race promoted by the media and the obama campaign and his supporters, obama has become the “black candidate.” That was also evident in Nevada.
Set that a side Obama has shown himself not to have the substinate background to hold the highest office in the country. He turned into a whiner and weak and allowed himself to be defeated in the general if he were nominated. His campaign has been very divisive that includes the wickedness of his supporters, which has completely turned me off to the point, I would never vote for him. His rezko relationship is only coming to the surface and it is time that the media outside of the Chicago Sun Times do some substantial investigation and reporting so the electorate knows what it is getting into, before the right-wing does.

“If you want a doer, but a guy in who’s done something. Mitt Romney.”
Wow, as a resident of MA, I couldn’t be in more disagreement. He didn’t do anything about Big Dig finance or management reform which resulted in the tunnel leaks and the roof collapse, he didn’t do anything for the last year and a half of his governership because he was running his presidential campaign in other states, he constantly derided the citizens, referring to MA as somewhat of a liberal burden when he was the governor. I couldn’t see him as more of a do nothing; a shifty politician whose only agenda is to become president, not to make any significant difference. You want a do something, pick any of the following: Obama, Clinton, McCain, Ron Paul… I think there’s a good field this year, but Romney is an absolutely atrocious candidate.

The fact is, the Democratic primaries have evolved into a choice between returning to the lies and corruption that defined the Clinton regime for 8 years (reminder people, the Clinton Administration had more scandal, indictments, resignations and corruption than ANY other presidency in history, even over and above the hated Nixon Administration), or choosing a new approach, a fresh face, someone who appeals to, and challenges Americans to think positively and to work together to solve the problems this Nation faces. It doesn’t take rocket science to see that the two grifters from Arkansas who spouted off that whole saying about ‘the politics of personal destruction’ are the prime practitioners of that very tactic. While smiling and claiming that they ‘only want what’s best for us’, they slash and burn any and every person or entity that opposes them, and it isn’t at all altruistic, their objective is but one: regaining and *expanding* their own personal political power. If Americans are blind and stupid enough to select the Clintons to once again sully our honor and disgrace us with their crass and vile behavior, then we are ALL the losers, from sea to shining sea.

The media hate the clinton’s and actually call them “liars” why no one dared to call george bush a liar for anything he has done in the past 8 years, May I ask one question, what did clinton say that was not true. And I dont see obama at any white churches speaking, he is all to eager to play the unwitting victim in all this, he love it. and you people are eating it up by the spoonful. people get so caught up by a great speach, kinda reminds you of the nationalism swept on us after 9/11. just tell me how hope will put gas in your car, how hope will pay for health insurance, obama is all rhetoric and no substance.

Mr.Cobb said : ” You want a do something, pick any of the following: Obama, Clinton, McCain, Ron Paul… I think there’s a good field this year, but Romney is an absolutely atrocious candidate.
Obama-litte to no Experience.
Clinton-can you say CROOK??!!!!
McCain-a liberal Republican
Ron Paul- who’s he???
WHILE THE CLINTONS DID NOTHING FOR
NOTHING FOR EIGHT YEARS AL QAEDA PLANNED 911 !!!!!!

Are you tired of your tax dollars going to foreign countries, that never reform to help their own people?
Obama has already said he will give MORE in foreign aid, as poverty is the cause of terrorism!!!
Funny he doesn’t know, those on 9/11 were all from rich families.
How long are we going to continue to lose jobs and tax dollars, while politicians kowtow to special interst groups?
B.Clinton had NAFTA, Bush, CAFTA….we have to get candidates on record as to where they stand on illegal immigration, trade deals, foreign aid, etc..

Wasn,t there a movie out a few years back about the Clintons?I believe it was titled “The Grifters”They sure are fun to watch.They prove everyday the old chestnut,”you can fool some of the people, all of the time”

Affirmative Action is needed here! The Clintons should show the world they really do believe in affirmative action and insist that any vote for Obama should count as 2 votes.

For the life of me I can no understand why anyone would want to see the Clintons return to the White House. The left the scene of the crime! Why would someone want them back? They made us the laughing stock of the world. We lost respect and because of their agressive budgetary agenda they depleated the ranks of government and military and then sit back and point fingers at others. THEY were responsible for what we are putting up with today. These people divided this nation. We can not let this happen again.

What a joke.I am highly amused at liberal indignation over the Clinton attack machine. When they used these EXACT same tactics against Republican opponents they were not only lauded for it but the press swooned over their political savvy. Oh and by the way, as soon as they start doing the EXACT same thing against their Republican opponent in the general election all their sleazy tactics will be fawned over again. When they are caught red-handed they will whine and whimper about being tormented by “the politics of personal destruction” at which point their lap dogs in the press will readily agree. Why doesn’t Hillary step aside and defer to Obama? I thought the Clintons supported affirmative action. I know they do when minorities are moved to the head of the line at the workplace or at our colleges,but ofcourse just as they send there own children to elite private schools while keeping ours trapped in public wastelands, they also plan on being complete hypocrites when It comes to affirmative action.

I see it must be easier to dwell on race relations than on the issues here!

the clinton presidency had much scandal but it was scandal about who clinton was having sex with, not anything of importance, just propoganda. maybe people now dont like the way bill is talking, but remeber he had the second highest approval rating of any president when leaving office, and his approval rating was very high during the worst of the lewinsky propoganda. that being said, obama has my support, but i think the media has already decided hillary will not be president.

The Clintons will say anything to be elected. Once again, Bill has made a calculated statement designed to make everyone think Obama is some radical, like Jackson. How much of this has to happen before everyone wakes up? Hillary Clinton is out for Hillary Clinton. She doesn’t care about anything but power. She has accomplished nothing positive in those 16 years she likes to talk about, yet she continues to talk about her experience! Wake up! The last thing we need is for the office of President to be disgraced in the way Bill did. Thee recent comments prove that the Clintons are not going to change.

Why is even after the attacks of 9/11, are we still trying to look at RACE.
We are all AMERICANS.
The media is doing an psych job on us all with this race reporting. Everything is blacks voted for Obama. In the same breath they are NOT saying.
SO DO WHITES – in NH and IOWA and in NEVADA.
People that are more progressive – those who have gotten past the Black vs White thing. Know that OBAMA will make a great President.
He is a true Stateman and will bring PRIDE back to AMERICA.
An articualte, intelligent, charimastic, HONEST, and knowledgeable candidate.
If Caroline Kennedy can ENDORSE him so can I!

The longer this goes on, the more I agree with South Carolina…the gimmicks used by the Clinton’s are not only unappealing, but they are destructive to the party and to my perception of our former president. I wonder if Bill realizes (and I suspect he does as he realizes almost everything) that he is effectively tarnishing his own legacy for a chance to re-live the white house. There are only two people on the planet that can benefit from that. I am beginning to agree with republicans on at least one point. I wish the Clintons would just go away. To anyone who thinks that these comments were innocent, they should remind themselves that the Clintons have been supremely successful in life precisely because they know so well how to use words. I am not that careless, and I am certain President Clinton is more intelligent than me.

If we cannot get along now, I sure would hate to see what happens if Aliens were to show up from another world and they happen to look like us! LoL

GC you are so WRONG:
OBAMA goes to a Protestant Church.
He is not islamic – would you prefer him to have the name Henry or Fred or Sam, how about SCOOTER!

The Media is trying to make this a racial divide. Did you know Obama’s Mother is a White woman from Kansas! People don’t be fooled about the Clinton’s. They are willing to say and do anything to win! YES WE CAN!!,YES WE CAN! Support OBAMA

Well folks
If the hill wins the presidency, god forbid!
Will bubba be the assistant president?
Will bubba be the associate vice-president
Will bubba be the vice-president?
Since bubba is already the president of vice with papers, will he be sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom on a permanent basis
While hill confers with her female “assistant”??
Think about it folks, the two for one didn’t work the first time–AND it looks even worse this time.
Just some thoughts to ponder
pmktwo

Every LAST one of you needs to turn off your TV’s (aka propaganda machines). Read some books, good political/historical ones, or go back to school.

If there is any doubt who is running for president in the Clinton family, South Carolina should put that question to bed.
Bill has done the strategy; Bill has done the talking; and Bill LOST.
Time for these two to move off the stage.
Clinton FATIGUE HAS SET IN — SET IN BIG TIME!!!!

Ron Brown was NOT Sec. of State but was Sec. of Commerce.
Naturally, a Republican President has had the highest ranking Blacks in history with Colin Powell and Condi Rice….which falls right in line with the Republican history on this issue.
It’s clear that White Democrats in So. Carolina turned against Obama.

Caroline Kennedy has endorsed Obama because she reminds him of her
father? Well, we all know what happened to him. If Obama gets the
nomination and you vote for him, be sure to check closing who his running mate is because he or she will most likely become President. Why is it that Obama is the only Presidential candidate, other than Hillary who gets it by the law, that has Secret Service protection. Could it be because of death threats to him already? Think about it.

9 bill is pocket change to me if it means we are not attacked and continue to be safe.
Obama President ? Then we will be attacked and it will come from inside Washington. Be careful who you put in office. {no panties}
it’s $9 TRILLION.
And we are being attacked. Economically.
Who is buying into the largest american banks and investment firms? – Saudi’s and the Prince from Dubai.
We owe China more money then we will ever be able to pay back.
They don’t have to set of a bomb, or fly another plane into a building.
They have figured out how to take out the financial sector. They can bring down Wall Street anytime they want to.
Just because we have not seen terroism of a violent nature. Economically, we are being destroyed.
If we weren’t busy trying to BUILD another COUNTRY (IRAQ), we could use that money to help build AMERICA.
I believe that Obama will be able to tell us all “like it really is”. NO SPIN. Be HONEST – for a CHANGE.
I do not want 4 more years of LYING -
Bill Clinton and EVIL HILLARY.
Do not elect “Hillary”

Liberals have kept the minorities down for years….keep giving them gov’t assistance in return for their vote. Don’t you see the pattern. The Dems/Libs are a poor person’s worst nightmare

If McCain can get enough of his party’s wingnuts to back him over Romney, it will be President McCain in November despite the immense unpopularity of the GOP nationwide. Independents think Hillary is vile, but I suspect they’d hold their noses and vote for her over the Ken Doll.

It wasn’t that long ago the Clinton machine was blasting Obama because he wasn’t well enough versed in “being down with the struggle”. Now he’s Jesse Jackson. I guess somewhere along the line Obama got his props and became black enough.

Mike…LOL The Obama’s have Law Degree’s for HARVARD! Not RDU

…Obama’s only a paaaaawn in there gaaaaaaame.
(in Dylan voice)

Kim
I assume you will deny the $600-$1200 bucks W will give back to you in June for the sake of your argument. He is a big fat liar..cry baby !
Republicans= smaller gov’t and tax cuts
Dems = no military, more social services, and lots more taxes
Hillary and Obama have already stated their tax hikes

smart,
sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder about harvard. If it is as bad as you claim, I cant for the life of me see why you even consider it a choice of universities for you. Go find someplace that will help grow your obvious talents.

ottathehood: you said “I assume you will deny the $600-$1200 buckS”
This is a gov’t handout. gov’t welfare.
do we have the money in the budget to do this? No – where are we getting to money to give out $600? We are going to BORROW the money FROM THE CHINESE.
We don’t have any money. The US is BROKE.
Besides — you will need the $600 to buy Gasoline – it will be $4 a gallon by June.

CraigCobb: you have issues to.
would you prefer that he hold his hands on his hips?
This is ridiculous. When is the last time you said the “pledge of alligiance”?
We won’t even let our kids say “God” at school anymore, and you are worried about where he put his hands – as he stood there respectfully.
How ignorant!

outathehood -
if republicans=smaller gov’t why has bush 2 increased the size of the gov’t more than any pres in history? you know nothing. it is obvious.
peace – i think your refering to someone else’s post. mine was about bill vs georg’s drug habits.

Never fear–McCain’s here—he’s the liberal Republican and he’ll satisfy most–at least enough to win the election–nuff said!!!

Sadly..CLD’s comment is correct

ottahood: you are not in touch with reality. The statics you quote SOUND good. But you can get arrested in the “hood” for looking at a cop funny.
You can get arrested – and you didn’t do the crime. Look at all the minority men and women released from jail after 20 years WHO NEVER DID THE CRIME.
So your little statistic does not validate anything.
CRIME IS NOT COLOR BLIND..ALL RACES Commit Crime. Scooter Libby was convicted — he NEVER made it to jail.
How about this one…do you think a poor minority woman would be able to keep her kids if she did the stuff Britney Spears is doing?
The first time she didn’t show up for court – she would have been put in jail.

jj: you said: “Yes, I will take the $600(1200 in my case)and put it in my gas guzzling Tahoe. It’s my contribution to help the US and global economy and keep the world moving. I will take some of that money and use it in my boat too !”
It’s a gov’t handout – it’s gov’t welfare. Money for nothing.
Why don’t you send it back?
We need the money to pay off the national debt!
If everyone sent their $1,200 back we could pay of some of the debt we owe CHINA. — but that ain’t gonna happen why? Cause EVERYBODY – want’s something for free….including YOU.

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack
Hussein Obama was born in
Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a
black MUSLIM from
Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white
ATHIEST from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii .
When Obama was two years
old, his parents divorced. His father returned to
Kenya . His mother then
married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from
Indonesia .
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to
Indonesia . Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent
two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he
is a Muslim. He is quick
to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that
he also attended Catholic school.”
Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make
it appear that Obama’s
introduction to Islam came via his father, and that
this influence was
temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama
returned to Kenya soon after the
divorce, and never again had any direct influence
over his son’s education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother,
Ann Dunham, introduced
his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a
Wahabi school in Jakarta .
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed
by the Muslim terrorists
who re now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN
when seeking Major
public office in the United States , Barack Hussein
Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt
to downplay his Muslim background.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected
presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the
US from the inside out,
what better way to start than at the highest level
- through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into
office – he DID NOT use the
Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalent
to our Bible, but very different beliefs)
you want
this man leading our country?……NOT ME!!!

The Democratic Party is usually playing race cards against the Republican Party but the Clintons are tearing up the party from the inside doing it to Obama. They will continue and it wont be the same even if they or Obama win. I hope Obama wins as I find the Clintons sleazy.

For those who don’t know or don’t remember: When Bill Clinton took office the United States was 30 YEARS ahead of China in military and manufacturing technology.
Clinton ALLOWED our technology to be given to CHINA by removing the controls of the State Department and letting Ron Brown of the Commerce Department to sell it to the highest bidder. When a Chinese agent stole secrets from Los Alomos (sic) Clinton’s Dept. of Justice dis-allowed wire taps to prosecute him.
When the head of Lorel and Hughes Corportions were INDITED for giving China military secrets Clinton PARDONED them the same month they were to go to trial.
What does this mean to you and me?
China’s leap into the 21st century caused the rise in OIL PRICES and GASOLINE that we have today. That is because China sucks up what WAS an excess of supply we no longer have.
Of course, Democrats have prevented our country from being self-sufficent by stopping any OIL DRILLING in OUR country.
So now you know who to blame for $3.00 + gasoline and high electric bills.
Do we really need MORE of the same?

jj:
Yes all commit crimes…….but the majority of V I O L E N T crimes are commited by minorities.
I hate to tell this but you are wrong. You have been watching too much TV.
(another problem in our society).
Violent CRIMES are committed by ALL RACES. NOT THE MAJORITY of them by Minorities.
It’s like rap music.— the majority of rap music is bought by WHITE FOLKS.
Same things applies to this. VIOLENT CRIMES are committed by ALL RACES. Period.
The most violent person on the planet today is not a black man with a gun.
It’s a white teenager about 19 years old, on Ritalin in a black trench coat.

did you catch the comment from Kay Patterson, state senator from South Carolina, in Saturday & Sunday’s Denver Post (1/19&20/2008):
“South Carolina is a polarized state…No one will ever make me believe a whole lot of Republicans are going to vote for Obama, or a person of color.”
so he is just flat out calling all Republicans racists, isn’t he?…isn’t that outrageous?
what’s more, you can’t find this quote in any online denver pest article, or it doesn’t come up in any other search engines I have tried…that looks a little suspicious to me…some quote this inflammatory is being buried
contact kimberly johnson at the post, who got the quote
JohnInLongmont

I am truly shocked by Bill’s remark. Whether or not he is *personally* a racist, he is eager to make use of other people’s sentiments in pushing this kind of racial discourse. I am deeply disappointed – and I’ve always been a fan of Bill, despite his flaws. But non-racism is such a no-brainer. The Democratic National Committee should demand an apology, and that he keep out of the campaign if he won’t control himself, or expel him from the party. Yes, he’s the senior spokesman – but thus how damaging to have our senior spokesman stereotyping on the basis of race. Too sad.

I fully believe that Bill is correct about Barack Hussein Onama. I also believe that anyone who votes for Obama is denigrates the memories of all those poor souls lost on 9-11-01. Obama has clearly not explained his religion other than for the past twenty years. What about before this? What about his father? Was his father a US Citizen or illegally here in the US? Was his father a legal immigrant? All of these issues are important to the US. America is also not ready for anyone with a Muslim background to be President. The average Christian believes that all Muslims are terrorists. It does not matter whether the belief is true or not but th perception is there. Bill Clinton makes reasonable arguments about Obama. If I could vote for her I would vote for Hillary over Obama.

I cannot tell you how sick to death I, a voter of color, am of white folks knowing so intimately how we vote, think, reason and make decisions. /eyeroll
You can think that the black vote is easily reconciled with a little hymnal singing if you want to. Maybe for some older voters but there are plenty of us willing to not vote at all or, gasp!, vote non-dem than to let Bill Clinton treat us like ignorant children and then come a callin’.
I wrote a whole petition for this very reason. I’m just a voter – not any kind of activist but I will personally flood every blog, knock on every door in a 100 mile radius and stalk Chris Matthews to ask black voters to vote for ANYONE but Clinton should she be the nominee. At this point, this is beyond ridiculous.

**** Conservative News Flash*****
I think some of you liberals need this quick reference:
Bill and Hillary Clinton’s race baiting cut Obama’s lead in New Hampshire–8 points in 2 weeks.
Bill’s comments had a huge impact on this most recent win, despite the trouncing she took–only 1-4 white voters cast for Obama.
**Put another way, 3 out of 4 ‘liberal whites’ chose not to vote for a black person.
I never want to hear about the party of inclusion, the ‘first black president’ or ‘conservative class warfare.’ The world has seen what liberals carry within–all the bigotry and hatred we always knew was there with their pandering ways.
This police officer chose to say it in song–12 original songs that tell the left what we think of them–one of a kind music

The Clinton’s are disgraceful, manipulative, abusive phonies. How can anyone look at these two as individuals or as a couple and believe for a second that they are worthy of a vote? Talk about putting the inmates in charge of the prison. Wake up America and put these two white collar criminals out to pasture! They’ll need all the time they can muster to count their ill-begotten corporate booty! Some estimates are 200 million from Corporate America since they’ve left the White House! I’m tired of thew ME generation, aren’t you? It’s time to turn the page, Vote Obama!

Yes, Kim, it couldn’t be any worse than even the poor people in the US living better than the average person in Europe. Stop your whining and at least make a logical point. We have a majority now that will vote to plunder the minority; can’t we see where that is headed. I guess it’s not fair huh;if somebody can afford something then every scrub should just vote for whoever will steal the most from someone else. Punishing achievement will do more damage than good.
As for the two Parties…… both are self-serving machines moving in the same direction at different paces.

FACT IT, Americans fail to realize what socialism can do to a nation.
Charlie.

I am an Palm Springs Independent(former Republican) and support Obama. My neighbor, thinks Hil walks on water. However, we’ll have a glass of wine and discuss matters. I am uncomfortable when he uses the “n” word and flat out says he couldn’t vote for a ________ or stand to see a ________ in the White House. Scary. I wonder if this is widespread among white Dems?

Joe: you said: “Obama has clearly not explained his religion other than for the past twenty years. What about before this? What about his father? Was his father a US Citizen or illegally here in the US? Was his father a legal immigrant? All of these issues are important to the US. America is also not ready for anyone with a Muslim background to be President. ”
Do you know about the FATHERS of all the PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES?
This is laughable. This sooo ignorant.
Ronald Regans wife Nancy – had a Astrologer determine which days he should hold meetings and what day he should and should not get on a plane….
and you are worried about whether OBAMA’s daddy who was a STUDENT at the University of Kansas, if he was an illegal in this country.
George Bush’s Grand Daddy married a wealthy magazine heiress – for the McCall Magazine. His Father in law was from a foreign country. Should we go back and look at the records to determine if Bush’s Great Great Great Grand daddy was illegal too?

That Bill Clinton had the audacity to talk about lost American jobs last evening is the ultimate insult! Bill Clinton was the President who signed NAFTA (and supported the WTO) into existence which everyone knows is responsible for the loss of millions of American jobs. This alone should turn every sensible American that doesn’t rake in millions from Corporate America away from this liar. People the Clinton’s are the problem don’t be fooled!

“Like many Arkansans, I have long regarded Senator William Fulbright as both a role model and a mentor,” Bill Clinton
For most of his life and public service, Fulbright was a supporter of racial segregation. He signed The Southern Manifesto opposing the Supreme Court’s historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. He subsequently joined with the Dixiecrats in filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as voting against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The ole apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. BC took his Fulbright scholarship to heart. So much for the first black president. Hey Bill “Let my people go”

POSTER
=================================
Kim, there are other issues as well.
There is his alleged crack cocain usage and his homosexuality (which would leave him open to being pressured by.
+++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Obama put his life in a book. He does not say “I did not inhale”. He is forthcoming. It was not CRACK.(By the way).
You also know he is not gay.
We do know that there are a lot of Right Wing Fundamentalist Christian Pastors that preached on Sundays about the homosexuals, and then they were having affairs with Gay men behind their wifes back. They were total hypocrites.
We also know that our own President has engaged in some behavior – smoked pot and got caught driving drunk. Bush also dabbled with Cocaine.

Barry Obama’s church has changed their 10 point vision! The took all reference to black out. Interesting. Does this change the way they feel? Nope.
The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Congratulations to Obama, I would vote for Obama, or Hillary in a second against Romney. Romney is a hipocrite, I can’t believe he is so bias against immigrants when his grandfather was born in Mexico, and he says everyone should speak English, yet he did his adds in Spanish in Florida, be careful with a person who speaks from both sides of his mouth…

Obama can never win. Mccain or Huckabee would beat him like a drum. Americans will not vote for a man with the name obama hussein barack. Period, end of discussion, nuff said.
gata

Support Mitt Romney, only decent person
with admirable background given fully!
He has little to gain by achieving king-
ship as he succeeds personally. He loves this Country. Huck and McCain
will give citizenship to kids of ille-
gals and all perks who knowingly got
benefits earned by Americans. send
Nuck & McCain back into the heather.

well, genius, that might be because Obama IS the black candidate.
what did your parents spend to send to to college? because they didn’t get their money’s worth.

I am a student of American history, particularly Civil War history. Anyone who has studied the Civil War era, during which the Republican Party was founded (primarily by Abraham Lincoln) would know that the Democratic Party has been the party of racists since at least the mid-1800s, and in fact had anti-black racism and pro-slavery as its core planks in that era. The Republican Party on the other hand, had as its central planks: 1) restoration of the Union; and 2) abolition of slavery (although there were ‘moderate’ and ‘conservative’ Republicans of that era who tended to side with the Democrats in their pro-slavery, and or at least non-equality for blacks views, the ‘radical’ Republics drove the abolition movement.) The Democrat Party has always been the lowest common denominator party, just as it is today, having no principles and appealing to the least informed Americans with ‘free goodies’ proposals in order to win their votes. It’s really sad how little Democrat philosophy has advanced in one a half centuries.

OH MY GOD! Bill Clinton just threw the worst race card at Obama because Obama destroyed her and Bill wants to suck up the media attention.

It’s scary how easy it is to lie & slander on a blog. Here’s the TRUTH about Obama’s swearing-in:
Two press reports from Obama’s swearing-in ceremony in January 2005 mention specifically that Obama took the oath of office by placing his hand on his own copy of the Bible. The Barack Obama campaign also confirmed that it was a Bible and that the book belonged to Obama. Vice President Dick Cheney, in his role as president of the Senate, administered the oath.
After being raised outside of any particular faith tradition, Obama became a Christian in his mid 20s and is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. (Obama gave what are arguably his most extended remarks on his faith at the “Call to Renewal” religious conference in 2006.
We suspect this false claim was inspired by the 2007 swearing-in of Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., an American convert to Islam and the first Muslim elected to Congress. Ellison used a Koran that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, borrowing the rare book from the Library of Congress.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Hillary or Obama. They are both internationalists, who will put American interests second to the “New World Order.”
Voting for either of these two clowns will not bring change.

Bill Clinton is the master manipulator of the uneducated.
He compares Obama to Jackson, thereby complimenting him in the eyes of uneducated black people and separating him from uneducated white people. No one is better at it than Bill Clinton. Unfortunately, his is disgusting enough to use the tactic in the first place.
What a piece of garbage he is, and his wife for waiting behind the scenes while her racist husband does her bidding.

Even conservative Independents and Republicans could accept Obama as President. The world of ABC voters (anybody by Clinton) is wide and deep. And, there hatred probably no less than Howard Dean’s ” all Christian Evangelists are evil and I hate all Republicans. Actually, Obama would be more widely accepted with less racially charged opposition in the republican, party. After all, it was the Repub’s who urged Powell to consider a run

What…..Bill Clinton massaging the media? NEVER !!!

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination I am voting republican. Enuff said.

If you look at the actions of both parties, there’s not that much difference between the two. They’re both heading in the same direction. They’ve just got different ways of getting there. It seems the Republicans have become decidedly liberal in their philosophy. The Democrats are just as marxist as they’ve always been. Maybe more so.

Wake up folks, they’re all “internationalists”, selling our country out from under us. It’s been going on for decades, most recently up in Canada when GW was agreeing for US/Mex/Canada to be combined. Only Tancredo and Paul know what this country is about.

I am disappointed in the Clintons:
After watching him and his wife campaign. I realize that he will say and do anything to get her elected.
What is he so scared of?
They thought they had the Black vote in their pocket, cause after all – all black folks “love Bill Clinton”.
NOT!
And if he keeps up the tactics he’s using he will not have any people of color vote for them. He is really slimey. I see that now!
Obama is wiping the floor with Hillary.
The media is having to regroup. So they post headlines like the one above -try to equate Obama with Jesse Jackson.
These two people are in two entirely different approaches to life. Obama is a product of America. He worked hard for everything he has. He is a unifier. He wants us all to be AMERICANS.
Drop off the – hyphen.
Just AMERICANS. I am voting for OBAMA

Obama, clinton, and all the current 08 candidates had a chance to stand for the American people when there was secretly written legislation giving amnesty when 80% of Americans did not want to give amnesty.
No media talks about the negative impacts amnesty would have on future welfare costs, healthcare costs, education degredation, pollution, and many other overwhelming negative aspects like wage supression and increasing rent prices through diminshed availability.
Get a grip AMerica; we went to war and ignored our own borders. We’ve been and still are being duped.
It is the media that lacks the ability to hold these scumbags accountable for their lies and deceptive ways; so fix the media to be the way the US Constitution intended frredom of speech to be used or else we need to hold monthly elections.

Great comment here: “When the media is done Swiftboating the Clintons” -
Idiocy on two levels: one, you need to have served in the military for the Swiftboat analogy to work, and two, the media has been in loved with that impeached president and his “wife” for decades, but maybe now their love of the Clintons has been eclipsed by their love of Obama.

its funny how alot of liberals say they will vote conservative if obama gets the ticket. i know for a fact that most of the racist people of this country are of the left leaning ilk, which makes me wonder why the black man continues to lean on the democratic party. go figure.

I have two problems with Obama: (1)he is like Clinton and Edwards, wanting our country to become socialistic (i.e., have people rely totally on the government and not on themselves) (2) he has an embarrasing lack of experience and, as president, would be an on-the-job trainee.

“Barack Hussein Obama is a Christian. He attends a very lovely and politically charged black congregation, although Barack doesn’t believe in life after death or that Jesus really did miracles or that Jesus was the son of God.”
A couple of things, Aleisha.
(1) How is it that BHO is a Christian, yet he “doesn’t believe in life after death or…that Jesus was the son of God”? There aren’t two beliefs more fundamental to the Christian faith than those two. That’s honestly one of the most absurd statements I’ve ever read.
(2) If you’d genuinely describe BHO’s racist church as “lovely”, then you’re either largely unfamiliar with it, or you have a very different definition of “lovely” than most reasonable people.

All Americans that really love America should take careful note of each candidate as all have their faults as well as there appearing good points. Whene looking back on Mrs Clinton with TRUTH in mind, we will see a woman taught by rogue Marxist of whch she has obsorbed their ways. Bill spent Vietnam days in Russia learing WHAT?? Both have their OWN agenda and it is NOT for the love of American as much as it is to place America under their thumb and ways. If they were to keep the senate and congress where they are today, they would surly place us in this bondage and once there, it will be too late to change things. We will go the way of other nations that have no say so and our Sovereign nation is gone.
Mr Obama, it is said that what you follow you become. Look to his spiritual leaders and the teaching he has sat under for many years then ask yourself,do you really want that.
Mr. Rommey, a Mormon of which not just I but many claim to be a cult religion.
His ways are not GOD’s ways nor mine BUT, when have we ever had a real CHRISTAN President? (Well maybe Reagan-lol) God says, I am the MOST High God and I am SOVEREIGN over the NATIONS of men and I PLACE ANYONE I WISH OVER THEM.Dan 5:21-I know, most of this world refuses to acknowledge Him but we sure have witnessed some of His anger lately admit it or not.(9/11-ECONOMY-storms with great loss and money, tornados in flash from no where out of season). And then their was the Katrina and the PERFECT STORM. Few would get this as being GOD’s displeasure with this greatest and most blessed of nations. For that fact, few take Him out of a box and really take a look at Him.
We must get this-we chose/vote but in light of our ways, we get what we deserve from God who has the FINAL word over who is and who is not PRESIDENT.
THIS no matter what we say, will not negate HIM.
We must be honest and chose a man that is as close to being for AMERICA and the peoples of AMERICA, their safety,
the economy,our military and to try and regain the lost Patroitisum we once loved. We MUST NOT CHOSE because of
color or sex. THIS is dead wrong to do so. Remember, when it comes to the finalness of all, we must live with the blessings or the curse that comes with our decisions. We are ACCOUNTABLE.

If the clintons win the nomination. I am voting republican

Mireya Ayala, Dr. Rice was the Provost of Stanford University. Not the university president.

” Obama as “the black candidate.” “Obama the white candidate” remember his mothers white link making her the link to his ability not his black fathers link. Your splitting logs to be a cabin live inner. I believe, in time, the truth will prevail and society will be shocked the real truth after the dust of “color” settles and becomes the true way to the truth. “Black and White” the true divider.The Constitution will prevail as the true soothsayer.

Traci,
The facts bely your argument. You can make all the innuendo you want because truth, in this case, may be uncomfortable, but it is true, as was proven through exit polling. Now, the exit polling might not be 100% but it is as good an indicator as we have.
I wish it weren’t true. I wish all people, regardless of race, gender, etc. would vote as individuals, but we know that is not true, and the Clintons, through their actions are showing that they too understand that it is not true.
These vermin are actually painting Obama as the favorite of the black voter in order to turn off uneducated white people. They are sacrificing the black vote in the primary in order to get the more lucrative white vote. They also know that the black vote will come back home in the general election as they have since the beginning of time. Now that is sad and that is disgusting on the part of the Clintons who ought to be bigger than that..

Bill Clinton is a biggot and an idiot. And he’s not making this election about race? He must think of the American people as a bunch of fools that can be easily manipulated.

Remember people….it was the Republicans not Dems that pased the civil rights act during LBJ’s tenure. Bush has done more for minorities than Clinton even thought about.
Minorities should wake up and break free from the Democratic stronghold that keeps them down….quit voting for them and rise up.

truthteller:
READ SOMEBOOKS – this country was built on the backs of poor white folks and minorities – Black men, Chinese men, Indians, Mexicans. the majority of the railroads and roads were built by minority workers.

I would like to ask everyone a question here…it is a bit off the subject but I would like to get a notion of how people think.
Do you think it should be a pre-requisite that out Commander-in-Chief should have military experience ?
Please….just a Y or N
Thanks

“Remember people….it was the Republicans not Dems that pased the civil rights act during LBJ’s tenure. Bush has done more for minorities than Clinton even thought about.
Minorities should wake up and break free from the Democratic stronghold that keeps them down….quit voting for them and rise up”.
WOW!!!! what utter BS! LOL!LOL!LOL!
Please give examples of your statement…Enlighten us please!!!
Yeah minorities do need to rise up,and get the Republicans out of the Whitehouse!

Ray,
The American electorate is, for the most part, not very intelligent. Their support for the Clintons even after Hill and Bill dragged us through the mud and dirt of his presidency shows they do not read too much.

I don’t know which candidate invokes “race” more — Hillary or Barack?
I think that Condi Rice is a much better choice for either a first female or black VP or President! Thanks for the suggestion!
Contrary to what some people suggest, blacks aren’t all blind followers of the ultra-liberal Democratic Party. Some of us (about 8-10%) still vote with our minds. I think that this is proportional with the amount of blacks who complete higher education degrees or serve in the military (at least, to an extent). Although it is difficult to be pointed at and considered “sell outs” by fellow African Americans or Democrats, we still vote our conscience. As a black man, I cannot vote for either Hillary or Barack.
My choice is for either McCain or Romney. The addition of Condi Rice would be wonderful! I would destroy the myth that is often perpetrated by the Democratic Party (and repeated by the media) that the Republican Party is exclusively white.
I find far more true tolerance in the Republican Party than with the Democrats.

While Bill Clinton may not be led by any guiding morals or principles, he undoubtedly posesses commanding political skills. Even though Obama won SC handily, Bill’s efforts to portray Obama as the “Black Candidate” and liken him to Jesse Jackson seem to be taking hold. Obama may have similar success in other southern states, but don’t be suprised to see Hillary amass huge delegate counts on Super Tuesday. And don’t expect Bill to let up on this racial positioning if it continues to be effective.

You campaigned, rallied,
marched, blogged, emailed,
and spent your hard-earned money
and time to support BARRACK OBAMA,
and all you’ll have to show for it
will be a lousy t-shirt that reads:
“Elect Hillary 2008″
…and that’s a cryin’ shame.

How dare you put words in Clinton’s mouth…What a joke you are!!

Can for once in my adult life – have a decent PRESIDENT.
Someone who comes on TV – speaks well, clearly articulates his views, someone that does not have baggage from his past hanging over his head.
If you vote for Hillary. It will be 4 years of Rush Limbaugh talking about “WHITEWATER” and the 8 years of the Bill Clinton Administration.
ALL OVER AGAIN.
CAN WE HAVE A CANDIDATE THAT HAS CLEAN HANDS – NOT PART OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.
I CAN NOT TAKE 4 more YEARS of more investigations into wrong doing.
WHEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING AMERICA?
CAN’T WE ALL JUST BE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS AGAIN?
Vote OBAMA. Get a FRESH START!

Marge,
Obviously not. White’s are very evenly split between Dems and Repubs. The average american isn’t a special interest. The special interests are the groups trying to manipulate demographic groups, such as african americans, women, young people, seniors…
Right now I would refer to the Clintons as a special interest group trying to influence specific demographic groups by using very underhanded tactics. Very Soros-like, if you ask me.

Isn ‘t it pretty obvious at this point, after the Jesse jackson comment, that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are really racist bigots who believe that black people and other minorities are beneath them. It is surprising to me that the press continues to surpress all of the racist comments that Mrs. Clinton has made over the years. But, the liberal media has been totally committed to the Clinton machine; maybe when it becomes so obvious to all what a truely repulsive couple this is that even the MSM may begin to print the truth. If we are now all seeing the angry Mr. Clinton in public, can you begin to imagine what goes on in the “backroom” ands what is said about anybody who opposes them. Look at the record, they destroy anybodsy who opposes them. These two people are indeed power hungry sociopaths who will stop at nothing to return to the Whitehouse, and Mr. Clinton is now just as scary as Mrs. Clinton.

How about everyone getting off their ass and get a job, raise a family with both parents, get your kids to school and get an education, be responsible and get your punk kid off the street, and quit stealing the honest working taxpaying people of America of their money….and everything would work out just fine. Quit being a burden on society. We don’t owe you lazy people a damn thing.
There is nowhere in the U.S. Constitution that says I have to pay for anything for anyone else…period !!
See how simple it is

“How dare you put words in Clinton’s mouth…What a joke you are”!!
LOL!LOL!LOL! NOBODY has to put words in Bill Clinton’s mouth. LOL!LOL! he has made enough damaging statements ALL by himself. LOL!LOL!

Bill hs proved he’s no black president. If Hillary gets the nom, blacks will vote republican in November.

After reading these comments, I want to know how do so many mental patients get access to a computer? Thats what ABC needs to investigate.
Romney 08

Marge said about Bush…”The dumbest President on either side to ever occupy the Whitehouse.”
Marge, please be sure to tell whatever left wing website you got your talking points from that it is the “White House” not the Whitehouse. Two words, not one.

“If Obama wins, the GOP will win for sure. SC doesn’t represent the U.S. and you better wake up before we lose again”.
Maybe then we are “doomed” to lose. Because Hillary and Bill will not win either. If Hillary wins the nomination the Rebulican voters and some Dems will rally to keep The Clintons out of the Whitehouse.
The Rep and some Dems hate the Clintons.
There are a lot of people (believe it or not) that haven’t forgotten the scandals and lies to cover up the scandals.
And in the event they have,the GOP will gladly remind them.

Romney/Rice in 2008!!!
Obama or Hillary would be a DISASTER!

JP: you said:
Traci, It is you who are the racist with such gratuitous statements. Lincoln was a Republican – the KKK Democrat. You do not know your history, but you understand propaganda. That is, repeat the the big lie that Republicans are racist and Democrats were the party of the Emancipation, often enough and it will become the truth. Keep preaching the racist propaganda Traci, I’m sure it will make you feel better.
—————————————
JP, these are just the facts.
I speak the truth. Read the blogs.
I read these things in amazement. There are so many racist, biggoted people still in this world.
During the time of Emancipation Proclamation there were more political party’s than just the two we are familiar with. So one can not really say, whether the Republicans or Democrats had more racists or not.
There however, right now in modern times. 2007. There are a LARGE PROPONDERANCE of KKK,Biggots, Race Seperatist, and RACE HATERS, who have aligned themselves with the Republican party.
You may not like this. But those are the facts. David Duke is a Republican,
Strom Thurman, Republican.
The list goes on. Most white folks, affiliatd with hatred towards minorities are Republicans. 99% of the time.
The Republican Party is the party of HATE.

“Marge, please be sure to tell whatever left wing website you got your talking points from that it is the “White House” not the Whitehouse. Two words, not one”.
LOL!LOL! Thanks for the correction…
However, that doesn’t negate the fact that there is a DUMMY in the WHITE HOUSE (two words)and his name is George W.
BTW,I have lived through this administration,so I didn’t have to get my “talking points” from any website.
I have experienced the lies and stupidity.
“

VIDEO–United States Senator Obama, standing before an urban black audience, REFUSES TO PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART AS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS SUNG!–as if a US Senator doesn’t know that national protocol–LOL–Instead, he puts his hands where a hip hop artist would.
http://podblanc.com/?q=node/12086

DID YOU HEAR THAT TED AND CAROLINE KENNEDY ARE ENDORSING OBAMA?

there is no downside to sucking up to obama now on the off chance he will win, but of course he wont win and if the dems nominate him they are truly inept

Romper Stomper, I like Sen. Obama as well. He is very charismatic and a very likeable person. I can see how people flock to him. BUT he is a socialist who is pro-abortion and anti-business. He is in favor of womb-to-tomb universal health care. And he wants to raise taxes. While I may really like him as a person, I would never vote for him based solely on his ideology.

Nice headline. Nothing like a little accuracy in media, eh Jack?

The Hill for prez I’m laughing all the way to the poor house What has she actually done in those 35 years just the legal activities please.

hillary is Republican – Lite.

The Clintons are so-quick to marginalize any black leader.
First, Hillary downplays MLK by saying it took a (white) president to make civil rights a law.
Now, “Bubba” Bill is connecting Obama to JJ and dismissing him as a serious leader
Somethings never change. Clintons are all about holding on to the power and dismissing any non-white leader with their own words.

No one will have to “play” the race card in order for it to dominate the general election. If Harold Ford with all he had going for him couldn’t win in Tennesee, it’s not clear how any black Democrat is going to win any Red state any time soon. And the only Blue state he could count on would be the idylic ethanolland we know as Iowa. Forget about New York and California. The Big Blue states have a culture of inter-ethnic turf contention not seen anywhere else. Plus tons of first and second generation immigrants from China, Russia, Korea, Eastern Europe and yes Mexico, who didn’t get here in time for the 60′s, so all of Obama’s inspirational JFK & MLK rhetoric is completely lost on them. Maybe that’s why they tend to vote like white sheriffs in the Jim Crow South. Obama would be lucky to break even in the major cities while losing 2 to 1 in the suburbs. Say hello to President-elect Robot Romney or Field Marshall McCain or Police State Rudy. Like Ralph Nader before him, Obama’s premature career move is going to be the best thing that ever happened for the GOP. And it is THAT, and not mere Hillary hatred, that makes the right wing pundits on FOX NEWs cheer his every move with so much enthusiasm.

Wow, id have to agree that he is definetly painting Obama as the black candidate. He should have used a less obvious example. He will just say that it was taken out of context or something stupid.

Hillary and Bill will not make it… Most persons are tired of the “clinton” machine-he was fired for heavens sake. The economy is going thru it’s typical cyclical round-the baby boomers have bought their houses. Now we need more oil. we need to get rid of chavez as well as other renagade jerks. A good ticket IMOO would be Obamma or McCain with Rice at their side or even better Rice with an unknown. I just wish she would step up!!!!! There ust be something holding her bacl?!?!?

Jeez. Could you have twisted what was said any more? No wonder the mainstream media isn’t trusted by the public anymore.

it FRIGHTENS me that there are still ignorant idiots out there spouting off about the whole Obama is a Muslim allegation. If you take the time to circulate such mis-information, why not take the time to research for 3 minutes and find out that Obama has never been Muslim (not that it should really matter too much anyway), was sworn in on a BIBLE, and did not attend a Madrassa (a rumor which was debunked nearly A YEAR AGO by CNN).
PAY ATTENTION, STOP BEING SO IGNORANT, PLEASE

When will racism ever end?
It is apparently what some people teach their children. STILL in 2007.
We need to live in a country where we all are AMERICANS.
I assure you the terrorist – could care less if you are black, white or purple.
When the suicide bomb goes off, the just know they have killed – AMERICANS.

I see the uninformed are out in droves. To those of you who think it was the GOP who pushed through the Civil Rights Act, that’s when the GOP still lacked the influence of the Christian Coalition, Moral Majority, Religious Right. NO, those folks weren’t “Southern Democrats,” they’re STILL the Religious Right. The same folks who objected to LBJ today oppose anyone who doesn’t agree with their theocratic, chiliastic agenda as being “RiNOs” or worse; they also oppose Affirmative Action and other measures today the same way they did then. LBJ’s greatest barrier wasn’t Southern Democrats, it was the white church leaders — evangelicals — the same people who moved to another party in the 1970s and 1980s and now lay an ersatz claim to have been of the party that helped pass it. But I’m here to call you out for being the liars and demagogues you really are.

People have forgotten how the Clinton’s sold America out. Remember Al Gore’s campaign scandal and Wen Ho Lee (the guy who sold U.S. nuc secrets to China) Chinagate, anyone? Bueller? You think there isn’t a connection? Who REALLY funded (and is still funding) the Clinton political machine? Not our friends (if we even have any). China and internationalists bent on lowering U.S. influence and standard of living, especially that of the American middle class.

Bill Continues To “Niggerize” Obama

Yeah, I don’t use that word much. In fact, I may use it once every few years. And when it does get used, I’m usually spun up over something. Well, Bill Clinton did it this time:January 26, 2008 8:18 PM

vlad-
Still though, you’d think you’d be able to get through to at least one of them. Is it really too much to ask to get people to think more critically about how they form their opinions?
Maybe I’m too idealistic. :) But I do like that hope is coming back in fashion through Obama’s campaign. Idealism and realism don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Cheers.

So Truthisoutthere, if my father was born a muslim, then says “ah its a bunch of b.s., I’m an atheist”, you’re saying it doesn’t matter to a muslim, they still think he is a muslim. I’d venture to say you are wrong and that other muslims would call him an infidel. I think this argument is baloney and that you’ve been reading to many right wing websites.

I have voted republican democrat republican the last three presidential races. If Clinton succeeds in destroying the best candidate out there (Obama) not only will I vote republican again, I will get actively involved to make sure it happens. What a joke this is turning into.

In answer to Greggs question: Do you think it should be a pre-requisite that our Commander-in-Chief should have military experience?
No

GO FOR IT OBAMA FROM YOUR REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS!
I have been a registered Republican for almost 20 years my Dad has been for over 50 years extra. We have been dedicated committeemen for years. I am the first to admit that our party has failed! I will say this…If Obama runs against McCain, our family is going to vote Obama. By the way McCain does not even have support in his own district or neighborhood. Look at the records! If the canidates are Hillary and McCain (not a true Republican) we are staying home (maybe get off our arm chairs so we don’t have to listen to scratching nails against the chalkboard.) Obama has spirit…voters of the Democratic party please join together get your friends and family out to your polls and please vote Obama. I can’t stand McCain or Clinton. I would vote Romney but I would be suprise if he gets a chance to represent. Please get out and vote. Go to the polls with youor friends and family. This is the American right to vote. Take advantage of your right and please send the Clintons home. The Clintons are ruthless and it willl be a tough fight but it can be done. Sound the alarm to go and vote for Obama! Send Obama to the White House. It is time for the citizens of this country to send a message.

Traci – I really didn’t want to have to answer you – your depth of understanding being thinner than the skin covering your body, no matter the color.
Let me ask you a simple question – let’s say you are in your 30′s and have a 5 year old daughter. Then you die. How much does your daughter know you at that point? How much can she EVER know you (that is not polluted by the bias of the one telling her the stories?) Vs how much do your friends and acquantances and peers know you? Those who’ve watched your life unfold? Think about it. Read Caroline’s essay (I did) The ONLY thing she says of BHO’s ‘record’ is that he made the right call by opposing the war in Iraq from the beginning. I would argue that Caroline is wrong on that for 2 reasons – 1 is that Obama had no standing to oppose the war in the beginning so it mattered not even if it was true and 2 that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq were the right things to do for innumerable reasons. I believe (I do not KNOW but I believe ) that her father would have done the same as Bush did. He would not have cowered in the face of extreme threats to our nation just as he proved during the Cuban missile crisis.
Caroline can endorse whomever she wants, the point is, if she wants to endorse someone who is “like her father” Obama is NOT the candidate who fits that mold. There is only one who comes close, and it is not a democrat. Many knowledgable pundits agree that, were Jack Kennedy alive today, he’d be a moderate Republican politically.

steve – I don’t think Democrats care whether he’s Muslim or not. The point is, HE ISN’T. What problem do you have with that and why do you insist people should say he’s what he isn’t? What does that show about your own character, or lack thereof?

kid cid, you sound like one of those people who equate 9/11 with Iraq.

Mr. Clinton, I thought you were a decent president. However, I think that Barack Obama would be a much better president than your wife. Barack Obama is somebody the American people can trust. Stop playing the race card against him!!!!!!!

vlad- the response to the statement that obama is a muslin should be “it doesn’t matter what his religon is” instead of the frantic “HE IS NOT A MUSLIN” we are hearing from democrats

“You can fool some of the people…” How many times do the Clintons have be shown for what they are before some people get the point. These are not nice people. These are not people you would invite into your home. and if you did you would count the silverware after they left. But what is sad is the some people who are fooled all the time will support and defend these two beyond all logical and rational reason. Why? Because they are so “lovable”? The sooner they retire and disappear from the political scene the better.

Yes, I wonder why Bill would even mention Jesse Jackson in the up till now, the completely colorblind nature and coverage of this election race. It’s not like Obama or his campaign has ever invoked the name of MLK Jr. Oh…wait…
OK, nevermind, it’s only racist to use the name of a black pariah like Jesse Jackson in comparison to Obama. Bill should of known that…shame on him!

Bubba is sick!! Wagging the finger just doesn’t do it any more! Get a life!

There are countless politicians Bill could have compared Obama to. However, he chose Jessie. What the heck, they all look alike anyways. Don’t they?
Give me a break.

I sure would like to see the entire exchange because the reporting I’ve seen has been so unprofessional that I do not believe anything the press reports anymore about the Clinton’s unless I see it for myself. Last week when they reported Clnton’s outburst what the tape revealed was a slow considerate response.

The Clinton’s are simply slick opportunists who’s only goals are power and Socialism. Eight years was enough.

The Clintons are a very clever manipulative and ruthless couple that will do everything and anything to achieve the power of the White House once again. What bothers me the most is that people can’t see that they (Bill & Hillary) are playing the race card once again! They are alienating the blacks against the whites, and knowing that there are a much lower percentage of black voters countrywide, they don’t care if they alienate the black vote against the white vote because they think that because the whites will vote in favor of them as a protest to the blacks voting for Obama, that they will win the democratic nomination.
The Clintons are a disgrace to the Presidency and people who insist that an impeached president is going to help an opportunist as Hillary are on the wrong side of the tracks. Obama, who has rallied the people and won in two out of four states, is an inspiration to all people, especially young democrats.
I am a registered Republican and will vote for Rudy Giuliani because he is a very proven tax cutter, quality of life enhancer, and he brought dignity back to New York City, something that the NY Times has a problem with. Mayor Giuliani has converted this crime and grime infected city to an extremely respectable level. He provided by endorsement mayor Bloomberg with a downtrend of crime that the new mayor was able to feast on. Because of the Giuliani’s support of Bloomberg during the campaign process, Bloomberg was able to become Mayor of NYC. Had it not been for Mayor Giuliani’s endorsement and campaigning for Bloomberg, Mike would have been NOBODY. Bloomberg would be sitting back in a big leather chair watching crime go up as Mark Greene becomes Mayor of NYC. The current Mayor is not only ungrateful to Mayor Giuliani; he is an egotistic sappy, wishy washy personality that I would never elect to office, especially the presidency.

I think it is sad to have a former president to act like Bill Clinton. He is using race to split up the demcratic party. The only people who will fall for this are ignorant people. People who do not question race at all. Obama is a good person, a good candidate and this is horrible. It is horrible to have your own party members turn against you like this… I am hurt as a woman of color to be democratic at this point. If Obama does not get the nomination, the party will never the same for many people of ALL COLORS!

I’m tired of the Obama claims that he’s beyond partisanship. The real question is
what is he going to do if the Republicans flatly refuse to vote for his policies ?
Will he force through a budget by a single Democratic vote (like Clinton in 1993)
or will he keep watering down his policies (like the Senate Democrats) and still
have the Republicans vote it down (like Clinton’s health plan in 1994) ?
“Sitting down listening to people, recognizing everybody’s concerns, seeing other
people’s points of views and then making decisions” sounds nice but it is useless
with the Republicans — Bob Dole even voted against the healthcare bill that he
introduced after the Republican strategy became to oppose any healthcare plan !
The true problem is the unrelenting Republican partisanship. Right after Clinton’s
election in 1992, Dole said that he would oppose Clinton’s policies, in contrast to
the Democrats who started playing nice with Bush even while Gore was contesting
the Florida results !

Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Although I am not worried about his chances of winning, the fact that a religious conservative is masquerading as a progressive would make me vote republican before I would ever cast a vote for him. He thinks the gay vote is dispensable — he’s very wrong!

Here’s two for the price of one–elect Barack Obama and you will have an inspirational, thoughtful, intelligent leader who this nation deserves, plus you will be able to get rid of the Clintons once and for all! Yes we can (and we will)!!!

Traci, the African-Americans crossing over to the Democratic Party wasn’t exactly that way. And it wasn’t quite as simple either.
For obvious reasons (Emancipation Proclamation) when African-Americans were given the right to vote — with the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 — they registered as Republicans. During Reconstruction in the South, African-Americans had prominent roles. Many were elected to state offices. There were twenty African-American Republicans elected to the U. S. House of Representatives. And even two African-Americans were elected to the U. S. Senate.
However, with the Compromise of 1877, Republicans agreed to withdraw federal involvement in the affairs of the southern states. This effectively ended Reconstruction. And the Republican Party pretty much left the South — leaving the African-American Republicans to fend for themselves. At the same time, the Democratic Party in the South (with the help of the KKK) greatly suppressed the African-Americans’ right to vote. No one would enforce the 15th Amendment. And African-American appeals to the National Republican Party fell on deaf ears. Segregation began.
Then in 1883 the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the 1875 Civil Rights Act was unconstitution, saying that the federal government could not bar discrimination by corporations and individuals. That made it even easier to suppress the African-American vote in the South.
Republican President William McKinley completely ignored the plight of the African-Americans in the South. However, Republican President Theodore Roosevelt reversed that policy in his first term. He appointed African-Americans to federal positions. And he publically condemned the lynchings. BUT in his second term, President Roosevelt, discharged three companies of African-American soldiers who were accused of not informing on fellow soldiers charged with terrorizing the people of Brownsville, Texas. Then Republican President William Howard Taft took office. He reverted back to the policies of President McKinley. Republican President Herbert Hoover also ignored what was happening to the African-Americans in the South. In fact he made things worse by appointing racist whites to federal positions.
With the Republican presidents (not reflecting the overall will of the Republican Party) turning their backs on African Americans, the African-Americans were ready to bolt from the Republican Party. And that is what they did during the Great Depression, which gave them the opportunity to leave the South in what has become the Great Migration. As many as 7 million African-Americans fled the rural South for the North and Midwest. When they were able to re-register they switched to the Democratic Party — the party that had disenfranchised them.
Since then, the Democratic Party gave many African-Americans cheap, if not free, housing and free food stamps. But many had been held hostage to the old welfare system. And they have had to endure the drug infested and gang controlled projects. And, even now, it is just as difficult for many who want to get out of the projects and free themselves of the governments enslavement.
Once again the Republican Party is trying to attract the African-American electorate. Republicans want to expand on the record home ownership by African-Americans that has occurred since welfare reform. To that goal, Republicans want to give all parents — but especially African-American parents — the opportunity to pull their children out of failing schools by offering school vouchers. Being in better schools will increase the graduation rate of African-Americans. Then millions more African-Americans will have the skills to be successful in the business world. For many African-Americans sports and the music industry are the only way to succeed. But competion is so fierce that only a small percentage actually succeed. Yet with a better education more African-Americans will be able to find success in the arts and sciences, and certainly have more opportunities at becoming entrepreneurs.
Republicans offer hope and a bright future for African-Americans. The Democrats only offer the same old rhetoric.

Oh, come now James Danley, surely you dont think you can fool a liberal democratic socialist like Traci with actual historical fact and modern-day reason, do you?

TruthIsOutThere,
Still waiting for a response. I can try to repost in different colors for you so it’s prettier, if that’ll help.

Far Out there, oh sorry, Truthisoutthere:
I’m not a democrat, I’m registered Republican. I’m tired of so-called Republicans like yourself who have destroyed our party. If you want to have an intelligent converstation, fine. Please let me know why you think its ok that 20% of the national budget is consumed by servicing of the debt at the same time increasing spending?

TruthIsOutThere, you may be right. But when I make a comment, even if directed to a specific individual, I always keep in mind that there are many others who will read my reply.

Out there: Ok, well what party are you affiliated with?

James you were starting to make sense until you started into this plight of who can save the African-American.
When given an opportunity to compete fairly, without discrimination. Black Folks do well.
The music industry and sports are not the only areas that black folks can do well in. It’s THE ONLY ONE YOU SEE on TV.
There are large numbers of Black Scientist, Engineers, Physicians, Attorneys, Executives, Managers, Nurses, CEO of Corporations, Wall Street Brokers, Auto Designer, Airline pilots.
In almost every industry there are Black folks that are doing extremely well. The Chairman of American Express is a Black Man- Kenneth Chenault. We rarely ever see a story on him.
But I get bombarded with stories of 50 cent and anyone with a set of gold teeth.
The only career the MEDIA choses to show, are the little Rappers and the ATHLETES. They perpetuate the sterotype that “this is all you can be or ever will be.” Everyone CHILDREN – are sucked into what EVER THE MEDIA says, it how the world is.
We fight every day to change the images of what our children see on TV – that is another reason that I am going to vote for Obama. He reminds our children you can me more – much-much more. Bill and Hilliary – remind us all of a time gone by.
Thank you for the posting of the History of the Republican party. It appears as though both parties have a love-hate relationship with people of color. The Republicans will never gain favor again. People of color do not want a free ride – as you insinuated.
They won’t a fair and equal opportunity.
As you have shown in your post.
America has never really ever allowed that course of action happen. Someone either renegged on a promise or they over turned the legislation.
With the republican party fool of the folks like david duke or strom thurman. never again will the republican party see large numbers of people of color.
AND IT looks like Hillary and Bill are about to find out as well – We don’t forget.

and bill clinton is just like his segregationist mentor.
senator j. william fulbright.
what has bill clinton ever done for black people?
give one accomplishment.
bill clinton is a racist.
his grandfather gave credit to blacks.
right!
and then charged them 30% interest.
bill clinton flew the confederate flag over little rock.

Blacks vote more exclusively black than white for white. Look in any race where there is a black voting majority and a black candidate and you will find a black winner. Merit means nothing to blacks because they vote by color. Go ahead, look.

Am I absolutely insane or is there even ONE woman who is willing to acknowledge that a wife who blindly stands by a husband who has been accused by multiple women from varying backgrounds of sexual attack by Bill Clinton, may not necessarily be the best person to push forward to cause of women?
There is something VERY SICK about this couple.
What am I missing?

Obama’s true colors starting to show. I know Obama tries very hard to come across as a uniter, but looking a bit underneath shows it is all just cover and he is already losing traction. Although he said he admired Reagan, he then quickly bashed Ronald Reagan by saying he was against all his ideas! Oh really?? I guess Obama was against winning the cold war, a strong economy, and the ability to create optimism coming off one of the worst economies in history with President Carter. Then Obama tells us last night that the Republican’s are responsible for the divisive nature in politics and the slash and burn methods found today. I guess he is too chicken to go after the real guilty party in that regard – the Clinton’s in the early 90′s who tried to destroy anyone who got in their way. Private detectives, sicking the IRS on all Republican voices, and using the media to invent some “vast right wing conspiracy”. Clinton’s blame the other side with every tactic that the Clinton’s themselves use – the democrats are learning that now but for some reason Obama still sees the Clinton’s tactics as newly born during this campaign and refusing to admit that the Republican party was the first to be hit.
Obama, here is some help for you. If you really want the country to come together, you need to stop blaming the other side for all of our problems. You will not get significant crossover support that way. You need to do what Ronald Reagan did, you need to win us over with your ideas. The ‘believe in change’ bit will only go so far. This is why Obama is destined to lose or if he wins, it will be simply another split country. It comes down to a simple fact. Obama’s ideas are just another retread argument by the far left. Spend more, tax more, and bigger government. What this country needs right now is the complete opposite – get rid of the wasteful spending, the earmarks, and the programs that do not work. Give power and opportunity back to the people to stand strong on their own feet.

WHITE is the absence of color; black is all colors.
We’d better vote for a Mormon to avoid the “Vatican Conspiracy’

dwr, you said the far left ideas consisted of spending more and bigger government and that what this country needs right now is the complete opposite – get rid of the wasteful spending, the earmarks, and the programs that do not work. Give power and opportunity back to the people to stand strong on their own feet.
I agree completely. However, that is the same premise that Bush was elected on. So what makes you think it will be different this time around when our party isn’t putting up a true conservative?

Not one of them running for the highest office in the nation deserves it. True honest Americans are to busy working to make ends meet. We hire these egg head candidates from Harvard, Yale and other ivy league schools. They usually haven’t worked a day in their life. They have been born with a silver spoon & hoof in their mouth.
What we need is a production worker, electrician, pipe fitter, nurse or brick layer to run for the presidency. They are the true Americans, that aren’t represented or given a break by the system.

If Obama isn’t the “black” candidate then why does all the media present him as such? Why is it a historic election? Obama will garner the “black vote” because he is black. I would dare say Oprah is campaigning for him because he is black. Funny how Jake here can represent the Clintons as race baiters (as they are) but he could never muster have the courage to make a similar claim against the “black” candidate. This is just more of the same from the ultra PC world we live in….

Bloomberg for President.

Obama does put his hand over his heart for the pledge of allegiance. That myth has been debunked (see snopes.com plus all the videos of him actually citing the pledge with his hand over his hear) but obviously is still spouted by ignorant schmucks.

DWR – I agree that tax cuts should not be implemented if it increases the debt.

I’m not affiliated with either of these two parties. I only vote for the team that seems best at the time. In my youth, that was usually the democrat I must admit. I even voted for George McGovern. He was the anti-Nixon after all.
However, after going thru an independent phase as I matured, I realized that the politics of the democrats were taking us down the hole faster than gravity could. Democrats invented the politics of race. They are the original “PC” types. They infest the nanny state which wants to control our lives cradle to grave. They put poison in gasoline in California in the name of the environment. Said poison has seeped into groundwater and the cost to clean it up is horrendous. Now, they’re in the business of designing the cars we drive. Great. Yugo anyone?
Democrats almost to a person voted for the war. This one and the other one. Then, as if hit by a lightning bolt, they found out that people die in wars. Oh NO! We must put a stop to this they cried. So now they are trying to do what they did in the 60s and early 70s – blame the entire war thing on the other guys (and I dont mean the enemy) and turn tail and RUN, leaving the spoils to the losing side and losing MORE face for America in the world.
These are some of the reasons it is unlikely I can ever vote for a Democrat again. Black or white, male or female. Not that I enjoy voting for the likes of GW Bush, but he did prove to be made of the right stuff after 911. (God help us if Al Gore had been pres then- most he wouldda done would have been to sue Al Queda for increasing global warming what with all that smoke and everything in New York) But W’s handling of, for instance, the border situation is beyond deplorable, as is the (former?) position of McCain.
There is ONE ticket that gives me cause for hope. It’s in the future. I hope it won’t be too far in the future. Two guys who are saying they’ll run for public office after they retire from their current jobs. Two guys who excel at what they do. Two guys who can relate to people of ALL races. Two leaders who rise to the top when it’s required. Two guys who I have tremendous respect for. Here’s my future ticket:
Curt Schilling/Tom Brady for Pres/VP
So WHAT if they can’t carry New York! :)

When it came to SC primary, the result is so hard to gauge. Majority of SC voters have a simple lens to view. All others social issues: women movements, war, economy…are not well represented.
This happened so many times in the past and make SC primary became so out of tune and trivial. At least like IOWA caucus, the are merits in it. But SC, none…nada.

Republicans are a bunch of clowns who for 8 years controlled both congress and the executive branch and failed miserably.

Hillary, Bill and the rest of the people can make false claims about Obama ‘s religion, false claims about him and race, but it won’t help. There are too many intelligent people in America and they are not going to be fooled this time.
The Republicans should be able to see past party loyalty and know this country is catching hell with Bush as President.
Obame-Edwards in 2008.

Hillary, Obamarama, and Edwards collectively don’t have the backbone to outfit a small rat. We’ll need divine intervention if any of these are elected.

Excuse me? He is running as a black candidate. All of the media and their polls predicted his win in South Carolina, even though this is John Edwards home state, because of the predominately democratic black population. Wake up people! Oprah is hitting the trail hard hand in hand with Michelle Obama yet Bill Clinton is targeted for defending Hillary from the constant media bashing. Has everyone forgotten the $5 trillion surplus he left us. I’m voting experience. With the mess this country is in we don’t have time for on the job training. So for the first time in my life if Hillary dosen’t get in I’ll be voting for McCain. Hope you are all ready for about 3 new republican Supreme Court Justices. I’m sure the republicans are thinking along these lines.

Let’s see who is really running on the Lefty we have Obama–and oh yea the BILLARY’S two for one what deal–

Say what you want about the Clintons. american econocmy was at its best in years when Clinton was in office. Call them crooks if you want,but polotics have always been crooked. Obama has little expierence, and last time i looked he WAS black , African American or American of African decent. Keep it real people. As much as we would like to say race means nothing,if does! Obama will get the so called “Black” vote. birds of a feather flock together.

Obama da Lama is not BLACK!!! He is Half WHITE and Half BLACK!!!
Why is he ashamed of that. He must be because he keeps calling himself a BLACK MAN!!! White people should take notice of that.

This blog really lets you see all the racism that still exists in America. Obama wants to represent all the people. He doesn’t even really identify with African Americans – he hasn’t had the “Black” experience. So why is it that White America feels as if he would only represent Black people. Amazing! Hillary is okay. But Obama is “new school” and America is crying for that.

What does any of this have to do with POLICY???

Pat, you wrote: “When George Sr. left office his “projection” was 5.66 Trillion when in actuality it was nearly three times that much.”
The total outstanding debt on Sept 30, 1993 (which was President Bush 41′s final budget, submitted in 1992) was actually $4.41 Trillion. Now then, the total outstanding debt on Sept 30, 2006, was $8.51 Trillion. I have yet to locate the official totals for Sept 30, 2007. However, the website that is keeping track of the national debt shows $9.20 Trillion as of today (Jan 28, 2008).

I am sick of the media’s creative editing and their lies about the Clintons. Who runs the media anyway? Clear Channel, etc. Obama is right out of Karl Rove’s playbook. Falsely accusing the Clintons of making racist remarks: the media has promoted this myth and Obama’s people have gone along with it. Says a lot about the man. Says more than what the man actually does say. He’s for change. Hmmm. When attacked on facts he says the Clintons will “say anything” but does not address the content of their attacks. Never have I see a man of such little substance get away with so much. American Idol has conditioned the stupid people of America to be swayed once again by the cult of Personality. Americans have become so dumb.

Saying that Bill Clinton introduced race into this campaign is at best a huge media fabrication. The Obamas have been playing the race card from the beginning. It was Michelle Obama with Barack seated at her side that said in a 60 minutes interview that “as a black man, Barack can get shot just goin’ to the gas station.” There is a youtube clip of an interview with Michelle Obama from NOVEMBER 12, 2007 saying —- and I quote “black america will wake up and get it”.
Hillary Clinton is the most experienced and qualified candidate for President. The Clintons are BOTH great Americans!

Regarding Michelle Obama comments while Barack was seated at her side in a 60 minutes interview where she stated “as a black man, Barack can get shot just goin’ to the gas station.”
This is very true, however, statistically, as long as the gas station is not in a black inner city Barack should be just fine.
The overwhelmingly vast majority of violence and murder of blacks in this country is committed by other blacks.
I find her comments disgusting and a view into her paranoid madness that she lives with day to day and probably infects her kids with.
No wonder they go to a segregationist church, it sounds like they are afraid of white folks shooting at them. Racists? Or delusional? You decide.
So Michelle Obama should have qualified her statement to show reflect like this: “as a black man, Barack can get shot just goin’ to the gas station…. if he is in a black neighborhood.”
And I suppose violence in the black inner cities is the greater societies fault as well according to the Obamas.
Hypocritical blame game. These people are through backs to the era of segregation yet they claim to be futuristic and cutting edge.

Snub on This

I rose and shined early this morning only to catch the consistent refrain on the news regarding last night’s SOTU address. It isn’t about the president’s speech, of course; it’s all about the “Snub.” They call that a snub? Clinton

It occurs to me that Hillary Clinton has managed to shed the blacks and the Kennedy’s and in doing so my lure back the white independents that are pro-choice and anti-war that would normally vote for McCain. I personally could care less about uniting this country. It has been divided since its founding. I want a president who can stabilize this econony. Even Greenspan admits she isthe best qualified.

Guess what?
My 7 year old daughter just said that my household is for Hillary because my wife, her 1 year old sister and herself are rooting for Hillary, while my 12 year old son and I are for Barak.
Reason? They “…are girls” and we “… are boys”! Matter of factly!
Sounds familiar?
I still love her though.

Hey,
i just want to say that Bush is an awesome president and i say this because he is doing the best he can. i also think Hilary Clinton should not be prez because she is just being lead by clinton. so i believe Bush should stay for prez, but that will never happen. The one person i want to win for this race would be Obama! you go man!
God bless America

While Hillary’s claims of being prepared and ready to take the reign of being President sound good, the fact of the matter is she was only the wife of a president and was in no way in charge of making any decisions that would qualify her claims of having so much experience. However, Bill does have the experience needed to make that claim and if Hillary were elected who do you think would really be pulling the strings? Face it niether Hillary or Obama has the experience behind them that would qualify either of them to be president, but at least Obama does not have a spouse who would potentially be making the decisions of our nation. He would be doing it himself. For those of you who refuse to see the racial remarks and inferences that the Hillary campaign is throwing out there, open you blind eyes, especially those of you who are black and want to say no, it isn’t so. Get real! Obama is the best man for the job, although Ms. Clinton sure has given it a good effort, she is just not up to the demand, but Bill is and that is what she is banking on.

Way to go Jim from Georgia, well said. This has been my feeling for the last year, and I just cannot understand how people think Obama, because he would like to change Washington, will be able to, just like that. I worked for the Feds in DC for a few years, and learned enough to know that you must really know how to work the system in order to get in and get anything accomplished. Please, everyone, read Jim from Georgia’s post. One would never hire a CEO with just 2 years of institutional experience. Please, think carefully when you vote. Learn about how long it takes and how much negotiation it takes just to pass a bill and to hire new commissioners (who lead all the federal agencies) and which ones won’t change. It takes time to learn the ins and outs of an institution, especially a beaurocratic one. Not only will Obama not be able to change the beaurocracy, he will have a very hard time making any of his ideas come into fruition due to his lack of experience.

Anyone who has seen more than one presidential election knows first hand that it’s the same campaign rhetoric over and over again. Hillary’s number one boast is her experience over Obama. This is not necessarily as positive a quality as one would normally think. She has way more experience in double talk outright lies and deceipt. And that folks is what she is using to pave the way for her campaign. We don’t want someone who is already moulded to the typical politition. We want someone whose integrity has not been compomised by experience. We want Obama!!!

Jim from Georgia, before you lecture us about how “black people built this country” you should check your facts:
Lewis Latimer did not invent the filament, he improved the light bulb Edison had already invented. Latimer was a brilliant inventor. Why do you feel the need to embellish his accomplishments?
Pierre L’Enfant was white and he didn’t design the white house, he was the original architect for Washington, D.C.
The closest Philip Reid came to “designing” the capitol (check your spelling) was assembling the pieces of the statue on its top along with a bunch of other laborers employed and/or owned by his master.
Benjamin Banneker did not invent the clock, he was just an accoplished clock maker. (See above).
Daniel Hale Williams did not perform the first open heart surgery. He did however perform the first fully successful (long term patient survival) open heart procedure. (See above).
Charles Drew did not “show the world how to get plasma” but he did discover a way to preserve it. Similarly, Garrett Morgan didn’t invent the traffic light. He patented one type of traffic signal. Why isn’t this enough? (See above).
Finally, Jan Matzeliger did not invent shoes or shoe soles. He invented a machine that sped up the production of shoes. Also, since it seems to be all about race for you, his father was white.
Again, why can’t you stick to the facts? By constantly mis-stating and exaggerating the accomplishments of some of these men (wildly, in some instances) you diminish what they really did by implying that it isn’t good enough.

Bottom line. The Clintons are low-class, lying, cheating, self-serving, manipulative opportunists.
They LOVED black people when they got their vote. Now they’ve turned against them to court the uneducated, bigoted, working class white vote.
They LOVED “moveon” when the group defended Bill Clinton. Hillary Chased after their endorsement, but when she lost it, she turned against them, too.
Of course, they HATED the Pittsburgh-Trbune Review, whose owner/publisher Richard Mellon, led the RNC charges against Bill Clinton while he was president, but now they LOVE Mellon, because they cut a deal with him to get his endorsement.
Disloyal. Dishonest. Disgusting!

Bottom line. The Obamas are low-class, lying, cheating, self-serving, manipulative opportunists.
Disloyal. Dishonest. Disgusting!

Obama for senator!

I’m inspired by Obama, but how is it “filthy” or “empty”? Your comment is pretty empty, that’s for sure.
Aren’t we all Democrats? Let’s get real, cut out the cheap attacks, and remember the real issue, beating McCain in Nov!

“You got to really go some to play the race card with me,” Clinton spewed on WHYY. “My office is in Harlem. And Harlem voted for Hillary, by the way.”
OK Bill…your office is in Harlem. Where is your home? NOT in Harlem.
I understand it’s a 1.7 million dollar home in Chappaqua, NY complete with gates, closed circuit security and secret service protection. Not the kind of place a brother from Harlem will survive knocking on the door.
Black people may have loved Bill in the 90′s, but now theyre baffled as to why he’s kicking the crap out of the first black man to have a real cance to win the presidency so he can put his wife in there. Black America was played by the Clintons. The Clintons never cared about you, just your votes.

Who do you think you are? You won’t put your hand over your heart during the National Anthem & you won’t put your hand on the Bible IF you are sworn in as President. Those are just 2 things that I have a problem with. It’s not over yet & God help us all if you get in.

this stuff is to freaking long i aint even read it all WAYYYY TO LONG -.-

Barack Obama is the President now with no thanks to me because I did not vote. The reason behind why I did not vote was because if in the long run if what all he has been saying about helping the people really dont go the way it is suppose to go I can honestly say It was not because I voted. I honestly hope that Barack Obama does help better this world because Lord knows that it needs it. I hope he helps the Elderly and the “Poor” because everyone needs help right now. When it is so hard for people to go to the doctor, buy there meds and pay there bills but most of all be able to put food on the table for there childrenand families. It is really tough out here right now especially with not that many jobs out here. And If you have a job you worry day to day If you are going to have a job when you get to work or is your boss going to tell you that you have to be laid off due to no work and then your boss would fight you for unemployement. Hopefully Barack Obama will get into the White House and help out everybody that is out here struggling! So I guess we will see If he stands by his promise about getting more jobs and help for us!!

A FINANCIAL REVOLUTION
A Modern day “Boston Tea Party”, Americans have grown up and gotten wise. Here is the American publics’ response to government, bailouts, stimulus packages and urging us to spend. The wizards of Wall Street, through their greed and corrupt practices, have given the vast middle class two options: risk destitution and bankruptcy or save. We’ve chosen to save.
1. So now, the citizens have decided to create a financial revolution, and save their money! More power to us!!
2. Everybody wants our money ~ one way or another. If we don’t draw the line, and ignore the economy, we will all need food stamps. Health Care? A thing of the past, if we don’t save ourselves, we are financially doomed. Keep saving all you can.
3. The economy needs???? That’s the problem…we should be talking about what people need. And we need more than an economy.
4. GOOOD!! PEople need to stop wasting; we need a savings rate that’s at least 20 percent…never mind a pathetic six.
5. I reduced my spending (only what i NEED, not what I want) because I NEED my money more than traitorous US corporations WANT it. I have no loyalty to corporate America because they have no loyalty to me or my fellow citizens. Until they figure that out, my money stays in my pocket.
6. Can you blame people for trying to save a dime? Weren’t we all told to save up for a rainy day? Well, folks, it’s a monsoon out there.
7. Why is it that the media, congress and the economists all fail to understand that we are saving every cent we have because we are all going to RUN OUT of money? According to everything we hear, millions and millions of us are just a few steps away from being homeless soon.
8. We’re saving because if we lose our jobs our government clearly won’t be there for us.
9. These companies grow on your credit then they buy our government. We need to show the government and big business who is the boss. The only way we have left is through our own spending because god knows they don’t listen to us.
10. Does this surprise anyone? No one knows if they will have a job tomorrow, so what makes the government believe anyone is going to spend any extra money they have? People are going to start hording cash, it is simple reality. Until our elected congressional and senatorial leaders step up to the plate and pass a realistic bill that stimulates the economy vs giving tax breaks to businesses that will not hire more people, (Business will continue with layoffs as long as their inventory continues to grow). This is also another reality that our elected official just does not seem to grasp.
11. Save your money. Do not spend it! If you must spend it, spend it very wisely.
12. The Great American Con-Job is government and corporate businesses.
13. I don’t call it “hording cash.” I call it finally being fiscally responsible. If the new fiscally responsible American ways don’t support the old economy . . . well too bad. The old economy was never sustainable anyway. It’s reality check time!
14. Perhaps the ‘economy’ of the last couple of decades needs to adjust,… and needs to learn to cope with the idea that people will (generally) only buy what it is that they can actually afford?
15. I won’t be listening to the economists – I will be saving and living within my means. The credit cards were destroyed a long time ago – 19% interest rates. We used to call those people loan sharks but VP Biden helped to make that legal.
16. Give money back to the taxpayers. They could give every single taxpayer a quarter mill and it would be WAY cheaper than any plan they have had so far.
17. It’s good that people are saving money and/or paying down debt, and defining their needs and wants. A society that is built largely on consumer spending is insane
18. Americans need to STOP BUYING cheap foreign goods of poor quality. Many RETIREMENT PLANS have been GUTTED by Wall Street as a result of their greed, ineptitude, and culture of entitlement. Americans need to SAVE.
19. Somehow, it just pisses me off when I read clap-trap about how it is the ‘consumer’s’ responsibility to shore up our overinflated, popped bubble of an economy.
20. The consumer has sustained the economy, before and especially after 9/11, and what did we get for it, fraud, deception, financial con artistry, ponzi schemes, and no law enforcement on ethics or anything, we got laid off, foreclosed, flat screen on the curb, credit rating in the toilet.
21. The people who suggest that saving money is bad are the same ones with all the bright ideas that got us into this mess? Are the people suggesting saving is bad insane? Regular folks see that we are losing jobs everywhere. They can see this with our own eyes. The rational thing for an individual to do is save for the rainy day which is coming, so you and your family don’t starve to death when you lose your job.
22. Look at what this country has become. People, save your money, hide your money, hoard your money. Pay your debts. Buy only essentials and lots of them. The Federal Government will do a Katrina on you when their ridiculous policies fail and we enter the Greatest Depression.
23. I am a small rural farmer. The cost of seed and fertilizer is now 4x the cost of last year. Darn right I am saving my money and not spending it. If I didn’t have chickens for eggs and produce canned from last season, my family would be hungry now. I will be planting less and folks, your food bills will be higher shortly because this is the norm for almost everyone in this farming community.
24. The pride in being the “breadbasket” of the nation is gone. Food = life. Save your money because you are going to need it more than ever… just to continue living.
25. It is pure arrogance to say we should spend our last dollars to help the economy while those with the ear of the politicians get fatter wallets and bigger houses. Save your money and save yourselves. These times are more desperate than you can imagine. The repercussions have not yet hit your local super market, but they will.
26. They just were bailed out by the tax dollars of our great great great great grandkids. We also got downsized, and once again underpaid, then they just brought in people from over seas, so they would not have to hire me back at a decent wage, and our government was complicit with the act, oh no emergency response to crisis, not even in the former President’s home state, oh consumers also got poisoned food, poisoned toys from china, and an inept FDA to protect or even guide us, poison food outbreaks…yea I’m keeping my money at home under the mattress and i am not buying anything i do not need until i can get bailed out by my own tax dollars.
27. Yes, it is ugly…but slowly we will start to buy those things that WE NEED, not just STUFF! We may no longer buy $200 running shoes or the latest electronic gadget. It is time for business to re-focus…and if their products are no longer needed, then figure out what IS NEEDED and go there.
28. Why on Earth anyone would trust the government, who got us into this situation with deregulation of the banking industry AND two wars, to get us out of this circumstance is beyond me.
29. I am certainly no economist but there is one thing I don’t understand: If people are spending less and saving more money, shouldn’t the banks (where this unspent money presumably is being saved) have more cash on hand to lend?
30. “The economy” as managed by our government has screwed Americans and now Americans are supposed to manage ” the economy” by spending when it is spending that caused the problem.
31. I’d like to challenge any one in public office or the banking industry to live on the average American’s wage for one year! Then live on unemployment and still pay taxes!
32. It may not be a matter of saving! It may be a matter of nothing left to spend! Unemployment doesn’t go far and the new proposed tax relief for unemployment is not worth the paper it’s written on! Approx 1 month forgiveness on an entire claim and no forgiveness once you go into the extensions.
33. Stop telling average Americans like me that this mess is our fault.
Most of us have been cutting back since 2001. What is happening now is due to greed and corruption by people who have the wealth and power.
34. Why should I spend my money on things made overseas? The money only goes to the executives who own the companies that shuttle that junk around, as well as to the foreign shipping companies. Why should I send them my money? Our money’s going into banks. Gee, maybe with all that capital coming in, they could loan my local pharmacy some money so they can stock the shelves or loan businesses money so they can keep their employees or adjust their mortgages so folks on the edge won’t lose their homes.
35. Let’s see if I follow: Government spending to stimulate the economy is bad. This despite the fact that the government is allowed to run a deficit (which it funds with bonds paying circa 4 %.). Individual spending to stimulate the economy is good. This despite the fact that individuals are not allowed running a deficit (short of selling assets in a down market, or piling on credit card debt at 19.8 %.)
36. The article quotes a leading economist, but still misses a key Econ 101 concept: Savings provides capital for banks to lend. (“It’s a Wonder Life” covers the topic vividly.) It doesn’t ALL come from No Banker Left Behind.
37. Exactly. Capitalism requires capital and it’s not all about individual/consumer spending, as much as some of the policy makers would have us believe. And Bush was among the most egregious in missing this point while encouraging the public to spend themselves into debt (mortgage and credit card, especially). He promoted this as [patriotism and an American right, like apple pie, energy consumption, and driving SUVs.
38. Yes save for what you need, for a man/country in debt is never free. This debt and credit based economy is just as an insane pyramid game where only the top players get anything out of it and the rest is losers left behind.
39. As a baby boomer I think we need to retool expectations. Our pensions may not be there for us after all and Social Security won’t feed my cat. What is best for the economy at large is not necessarily best for the individual household. Cash is king more than ever now and I plan on being prepared.
40. Buying a home as an investment is such a lie. People never consider how much money they will spend on utilities, equipment (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, hot water tank, lighting, toilets, refrigerator, lawn mower), updates (carpeting/flooring, painting walls, foundation issues) or on simple maintenance like plumbing, electrical work, air conditioning/heating work or even keeping the yard mowed, watered, leaves raked, etc.
41. People have to save. They don’t know when their job will be the next to go.
42. The correction is the painful adjustment to restructure society to where it should have been all along. Now we will hopefully have enough grassroots companies that will start producing things that we really need. Or maybe we’ll see an influx in farmers or people growing their own food. And if we are producing anything, we need to market it for people abroad more than local consumption so we can bring new money into our economy.
43. My savings are up. I’m stashing every penny I have left from the job I just lost to cover my minimum credit card payments for as long as I can while I look for a new job. Can’t let the credit cards go unpaid because I’m essentially living off them at this point. I’m sad, discouraged, and very, very scared. Much love to those of you going through the same thing. SAVE!
44. Economic stimulus by putting money into unnecessary items, like flat screen tvs or $800 boots, will not help people who can’t afford medical insurance, can’t put food on the table, can’t pay for electricity, and certainly can’t pay for education for their kids, is NOT the answer. The American people need a bailout.
45. I have seen my annuities shrink by tens of thousands of dollars, and likewise, the value of my house. Of course I am not spending. I may never spend. One reason is that I am so ANGRY at the corporations. I am tired of being subjected to social engineering every time I enter a store, tired of cheap junk merchandise from China, tried of my government being bought instead of representing me, tired of the government being taken over by armband religion, tired of my healthcare, tired of lousy schools that are unaffordable, tired of the bailout which is really nothing but more robbery of the people, specifically, the middle class.
46. I have no representation, no free press, no recourse of any kind except not spending. So, by golly, I’m not spending. (It’s practice for when I won’t be able to spend anyway, because the government will end up with every last cent that I ever earned anyway.)
47. In our consumer economy, the consumer has been hung out to dry for the last 8 years, my food is poisoned, my toys imported with poison, our cars suck, our energy is too expensive and could costs could rise at any given moment, our officials are not prosecuted for breaking the law, ah la Bush Cheney, Rumsfeld, what else, we bailed out the banks, and they laid off our uncles aunts and children, and then will not loan any money to help the economy, these guys are still requesting foreign visa’s while they lay Americans off in droves, no Mr. banker, Mr. retail store, i will not spend my money with you, because you will not invest in our community, or our nation. Banks received billions of dollars, and simultaneously, continued to foreclose on millions of family homes, and homes of the elderly, the shame of America is on the faces of those recently made destitute.
48. Of course people are saving money, they see their neighbors lose jobs, their house is depreciating daily, and government is spending money like a drunken sailor, which everybody knows is going to fuel inflation. I am glad to see people save; the American people need to reclaim their financial freedom, not living as servants to America.
49. Our economy is built on continuous growth and consumer spending which can not be sustained. The way the markets look at it is all wrong. If you save money that should be good. That means people are not going into debt and can pay their bills. Instead a lack of debt seems to be BAD to these guys. Our whole system is broken. It needs a major overhaul!
50. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SAVE MORE, NO ONE CARES OR IS DOING ANYTHING TO HELP CITIZENS AND WORKING PEOPLE, THEY JUST SUCK US DRY AND LAY US OFF AND HIRE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OR THOSE ON VISAS TO TAKE OUR JOBS FOR LESS PAY, SO GUESS WHAT, I AM HOLDING ON TO EVERY DIME I CAN JUST LIKE THE BANKS AND AUTO MAKERS.
While the old way of “storming the fort” was applicable in that day and age to signal revolt, so this is modern America’s way, by us staging a “financial revolution”. Congress, American government, consider yourself notified. Americans are no longer “buying” the swampland, of buy, buy, buy, or, consume, consume, consume. It is now save, save, save yourself. Unless you start mailing out checks directly to the American people to help bail us out, to get us through this depression, expect it to go on for as long as it takes, to crash the system of the elite. You left us no other recourse. We are no longer a consumer nation; you heard it, first, from us…

Wonder if Bubba Clinton is feeling vindicated now?
