Obama with his coke use, social liberalism (abortion, gun control, etc.) and corporate friendly policies toward healthcare, trade agreements, unions is a joke of a national candidate. Was I around when any black governor won outside of right of Attila Doug Wilder who ran against the cocaine snorting, sex party attending, wire tapping, voter-frauding, blatant elitist, Chuck Robb?
Did I miss some other black senator outside of Obama in Illinois who won by default with Ryan (see description of Chuck Robb above). Ford was as ‘white’ and insider as you can get being black!
“Republicans win the South”- only when they win the presidency. You can’t win nationwide without pulling some of the South, like Clinton, Carter, etc. You won’t even win a Dem primary in the South as Black except maybe an isolated closed primary.

Jake, What is up with the messiah comment? I guess the media has to bring Obama down now. The establishment always wins.

Jake, man, that is some sardonic wit you have. I wonder: who wins an Obama vs. Patrick Fitzergald primary?

Jake, this trial is going to be more of an issue for Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich than it will be for Sen. Obama. The Gov. has had more, shall we say, “intimate” fund-raising relations with Mr. Rezko (by allegedly promising him unlimited government influence in exchange for scads of money) than Sen. Obama has had. Still, although any contact with Mr. Rezko is toxic, Illinois’ Gov. has been exposed to much, much more of it than the Senator.

Jake Thank you for bringing some of the background of Obama to lite, this story came up a while ago but with no coverage.
terry – Pres Bush Smoked crack? yea ok! Ruined this Country, maybe for libs because he stopped the march of socialism!
Funny thing about Libs they praise a Draft dodger in one election, then in the next they praise a traitor in the same lie about their opponent of not completing his national guard service.
But i finally realized they want their Dems Government electees to be corrupt!
