I guess I am one of the persons he is talking about. Well, OBAMA, you just lost a supporter!
Scanton, PA

Senator Obama has made hundreds of personnal and condescending attacks on his opponents and thinks that is ok. But when someone makes a like attack on him, watch out, every supporter and paid advisor comes out demanading an apology,
HOW ABSURB. STUPID. CAN THIS MAN BE REAL??????

Sen. Obama’s remarks in San Francisco were not condescending. Please listen to the full audio on the huffingtonpost.com (where this “story” was initially reported).

Hmmmmmmm -
Off topic but interesting – looks like Senator Obama has a new Rezko problem. Read the AP story today.

There’s a HUGE difference between being condescending and being racially biased. If ya’ll don’t know the difference, then maybe you’d be better off not voting at all.

Jenna,
And Hillary is a lying witch of a
b i t c h so they are even then are they not?

Racists never change! He said what he thought.

Obama is not a boy
Obama is god.

Jenna, Hill the Bosnian General is a drunk girl, a day dreamer and a dangerous alcoholic who cannot be trusted at all. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

Racist white Americans coming in these blogs everyday bashing Obama. Your days are numbered. This is the last year bigotry will be tolerated in this country. White supremacy will soon be over.

Wow, I can’t believe he apologized for that. If Obama can’t make a sound decision in the situation-room in a SIMULATION, I sure wouldn’t like him to be my Commander-in-Chief and issuing orders to me. He’s right, that boy’s finger doesn’t need to be on the button.

From Webster’s Dictionary – Elite: the best or most powerful of anything considered collectively, especially of a group or class of persons. Elitist: practice of or belief in rule by an elite.
Has nothing to do with money – everything to do with feeling superior, thereby Hillary saying the American people do not need a President who looks down on them. People of any class can look down on others and feel they are superior for many reasons, usually because they think differently from themselves. Does this sound familiar?

Mike
Do you know the historical meaning of a white man calling a black man “boy’? Or are you one of thsoe illiterate Republicans voting on single issues like guns and God?

Actually, Brian is correct to make those points. The only stipulation being that it doesn’t apply only to black people. What does apply, however, is the fact that most major cities where the black population is most dense, there are more occurrences of these incidents.

After the obnoxious comments Obama, his wife and his preacher have said, “boy” is nothing!

Why are some Americans so full of vile?

chickens coming home to roost is all.

Mike
Of course. Your double standard reveals your ignorance and lack of credibility. You slam Obama for his unfortunate comments, but excuse this moronic Congressman because he looks like you and comes from your side of the aisle. Shame on you.

I am embarrased for most of the people that have made these comments. We all should be able to differ in our opinions, without being nasty and belligerent about it.
Contrary to what it seems like, we should not be at war with each other; as we have enough real issues in the world to contend with.
I’m quite certain that the authors here are much more intelligent than their comments would lead one to believe….or at least I hope so.

If Scranton prefers to blindly support a blatant liar that happens to be dodging sniper fire one day, to getting hospital stories mixed up the next day, to being a gun owner and avid church goer, so be it.
That clearly spells ignorance and pure gullibility.
There’s no hope for those who don’t mind being lied to.

I doubt that an independent will win in a general election (sorry Ralph Nader, but you just can’t win) and so that leaves me having to choose a democrat, because god help us if another republican (particularly one that is so aligned with “Dubya” Bush) is elected!
And since Hillary is a PROVEN LIAR, that leaves Obama (even though he too has some faults). At least Obama doesn’t pander, grandstand, or more importantly… LIE!
I have a message for superdelegates: PLEASE STOP HILLARY CLINTON! She is destroying the Democratic party and will not stop until it is completely obliterated! Someone STOP her! All of you superdelegates get behind Obama and END this once and for all, or else fear yet another Bush term!

this is another “dean scream”… a total non-issue
maybe america learned that you can still be president after you are “caught” saying yeeha, especially when the alternative is a criminal mind like a bu$h or clinton

The Republicans are warming up their attack machines…..
Stay tuned…..

OBAMA IS ONCE AGAIN A VERY INTELLIGENT PERSON. STOP, STOP THE MADNESS. STOP, STOP THE FEAR.

Unfortunately, you have me mistaken. I’ve never once said anything against Obama, other than he probably won’t win. What I see is a pro-black middle-class American who apparently can’t let go of the fact that most black kids today don’t think twice about 40 years ago, or the slavery hundreds of years ago. How I was raised is not an issue, but know this: I serve in the military, where all of my black and white and mexican and philippine and asian friends have the EXACT same opportunities, both in our terms, and especially when they separate from service. So don’t whine to me about oppression and holding them down. The choices they make are what put them in situations such as poverty, just like the white people right next to them. If they don’t want to live in a city racked by such things, pick up and move.

WHERE DO SOME OF THESE MORONS COME FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DC VOTER,DEE,JENNA,STANCH,MARY,KRIS,BRIAN,MIKE.I would love to thank you for all of your raceist sentiments.You will all recieve a Email from me soon.Thanks!

Do a google search for pill popping Cindy McCain

There are so many racist people in this country, it saddens me. Here is a blackman that is self-made, never commited a crime, played by the rules, accomplished more than most of us ever will with 10 lifetimes. But we tear him down not on the issues (Jesus, nevermind the issues), but on personal insults and whether or not he understands white, blue-collar voters, or whether or not his pator hates white people. Is this country only for white people? Can a black man ever get a fair shake in this country? I guess not.

CORRECTION ,BILL CLINTON RECEIVED $700.000 FROM INTERNET TRADE
IN CHINA WERE HE DID TRADEING WITH
A LOW LIFE FELON

I personally don’t believe either Clinton or Obama can follow through on a great many promises they have made. First and foremost among them, the withdrawal of all our troops from Iraq. That is a lie both of them have told that has yet to be uncovered if in the unlikely even either of them makes it to the Oval Office.

Mike
Don’t tell me about the f*cking military. I asked you about inner cities. So what if he’s pro-black? So f*cking what? Aren’t our politicians always saying they are pro-blue collar workers (which is code word for white ethnics)? This is the double standard here that is so blatant. I have been to these inner cities volunteering. My company has a very broad community outreach program. I have volunteered in prisons, in school, and abroad. A black man in this country is usually f*cked from the very beginning. Only the luckiest even make it as far a the military. If environmental factors are not to blame for the plight of the black man, what then is? Biological factors? Are you saying blacks are biologically inferior to whites? There can only be two plausible options here. Which the f*ck is it?

Mike, did you happen to pay attention in high school, or have you not gotten there yet? The introduction of civil rights did not instantaneously level the political, social and economic playing fields for all races. There continue to be many barriers in place for African Americans in this country, as well as countless other minorities; and while I think things are getting a little better, there is still a lot of hate and division in this country. Hate crimes against African Americans in particular are still prevalent, among others (see how big of a difference there is as opposed to other races?): http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hatecm.htm (Data’s a little old, but i’m not wasting any more time than a google search.) Despite what you may think, racial hatred in this country has not simply disappeared. Please do everyone a favor and study a little bit of sociology before posting such an ignorant and offensive comment like that again.

Republicans twist and distort the truth and “conservative” voters line up at the trough to swallow the swill. I guess some folks love to be lied to…as long as the liar is a member of the tribe.

Obama worked with Farrakhan to help lead the Million Man March. Along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington. A second march, called the Millions More Movement, took place in 2005. http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9291850

Kevin, conditions for black Americans will never improve as long as people like you and guilty white liberals continue to scapegoat whites for the problems in the black community.
70% of black children are born to single mothers, the vast majority of those mothers are under 20 years old. Fully half of black girls under the age of 18 have STD’s. The high school drop out rate is about 60% (Dallas). One in four adult black men is either in prison or on parole. And of course, the Reverands Wright, Jackson and Sharpton, and apparently every black barber in America, will be happy to tell you all of their problems fall on the feet of white people.
I suppose 140 years is just not enough time to overcome slavery. I suppose 45 years is not enough time to overcome segregation. I suppose 30 years of “affirmative action” is not enough to make any difference. What needs to stop is this endless cycle of generational poverty, self-proclaimed victimhood and the blissful unemployment supported by entitlements which liberal whites are willing to finance with our taxes.
So Obama was called “boy.” Its stupid to be so culturally clueless, but hardly worth crying about. Go listen to what your gansta rap pals call your women (bitch and hoe) and people like me and “boy” doesn’t sound so bad, now does it?
So go ahead and toss me that racist tag. Could I care less. Nah, I don’t think so.

Hawk
So by your argument, blacks are biologically inferior to whites? Thanks for that clarification. I wish all the racist bastards in here were as honest as you instead of coming in here pretending they are something other than what they are. For your information, i am not black. Not all white folks are bigots like you. And about your Chicago argument: Theer are cities in the South worse than Chicago. In fact, geiographically,t he South is far worse than democratic areas in this country. All major American cities are run by democrats. I wonder why the sh*thole South is Republican territory. I wonder why despite the high percentage of black Democrats, on average, more democrats finish college than republicans. Just wondering. Your argument is stupid, Hawk. You and your family are all bastards. For your information. democrats are smart people. Republicans are racist bigots.

Coming from a state which still has “My Old Kentucky Home” – a song which celebrates the days of slavery – as the state song, and the past it has. We all know he meant BOY as in SLAVERY as in N gg r. No one can spin this any other way than the truth. Hillary Clinton and John McCain have allowed the racists to remove their hoods and robes and must be held responsible for the condition of this election. It has deteriorated to this. Courtesy Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and John McCain.

I thought this was a news blog. My mistake. It appears I ended up on a racist one.

Yeah we’re all racists.
Obama is too young and inexperienced to have control of the button, hence the term BOY.
Enough of the drummed up, boy who cried wolf garbage.
Obama is too young and inexperienced. Oh and he’s unelectable.

Hawk:
This is a political posting; for people 18 or older who get to vote. Since your obviously 10, you should really think about getting back to class before your teacher realizes your missing.

Kevin: I’m sorry, I started formulating a counter-argument in my head to your ridiculous claims and repeated ironic use of the words “bastard” until I started to think about that illegitimacy rate I was refering to before re: the black community. Then I knew you were joking. Thanks for the comic relief. You are conservatives’ best argument that liberalism is a mental disorder, and ironically liberals’ best argument for pro-choice policies.

so let’s elect someone because his feelings are all hurt. Good reason to be for someone. Obama is stirring up more racism in this country….that is his nice gift to us. Obama has to have what obama wants no matter what it does to the country.

I stumbled onto this page quite by accident and I will never return. I had no idea that racists were being encouraged by ABC to run off at the mouth. The ignorance of some people in this country is amazing. Its obvious a lot of “children” have been left behind. This site is sad.

Hawk
Your America is not my America. I am anti-Your-America. Feel free to hate mine. People like me have made this country great. Open-minded, hard-working, highly-educated folks that express tolerance, have made this country great. For your blue-collar views, we are the scientists blazing the trail to a greater America. You fight wars in the military, but educated folks like us build the bombs and machinery that truly makes the army great. Education and openess is the becon of our strength, not right-wing nut jobs like you. People like you and your vision of a bigot America, your intolerance for difference, wants to make this country a third-world country. You are no different from a crazed, intolerant muslim telling peoople to live under Shatria laws. All must conform to your vision of America. Your vision of America is a nightmare. You will lose because goodness, at the end, always wins.

OK all you racists pea-brains. In my job I frequently have spoken with some of the worlds leading counter-terrorism experts and military advisors with some of the highest credentials in our country. Their views on how to handle counter-terrorism and the Global War on Terror match exactly what Barack Obama has been saying all along. McCain has it dead wrong, Obama has had it right for some time now.
I can’t believe that a congressman making an overt, old-school style of racist statement would cause posters on this board to lash out at Obama, you’re ignorance and hate is what is wrong with this country. It is people like this congressman that create the likes of people like Jeremiah Wright.

If you’re not bitter, you haven’t been paying attention for the past 7 years.
As for elites, the worst is the economic elite (which I’m sort of on the edge of, I guess) or the ethnic elite; best the intellectual or ethical elite.

What has Obama done to merit being the leading candidate for President of the United States? What is his track record that gives you confidence as you choose him over McCain or over Clinton, for that matter?
The mania for Obama, or “Obamania,” if you will, seems to be based on almost entirely upon his speaking ability and who he is not, and not on what he would do once in office. He’s not an insider. OK. Neither am I, or you, likely. That’s no reason to elect us. I’m also a pretty good speaker. Again, don’t elect me for that.
Fortunately he made the ‘bitter’ remark, which he then made worse by lying about it. Will that be enough to stop the mania? Thanks to what seems like a technicality over Michigan’s and Florida’s not counting, possibly, no. We might still see Obama vs. McCain. Obama would be the likely favorite, after what George Bush has done…
Hmmmm… has this ever happened before? Think 1920s central Europe, perhaps?
Obama is NOT Hitler, in terms of character, but Hitler came to power in a similar way to how America seems to be giving the POTUS title to Obama. In both cases, if Obama wins, it would be based not on his accomplishments or even beliefs, but pretty much entirely upon his oratory style and delivery. That’s a dangerous move, even as nice as Mr. Obama seems.

My God – I read the first few comments.
How much more degraded can people get.
I feel soiled, just reading the bigotry.
No wonder the rest of the World hates Americans. We do not make ourselves safer by being so disgustingly uninformed and prejudiced. Prejucdice is born out of ignorance, so unlike stupidity it can be cured. Work on it.

People stop the name calling. Tt is juvenile. State your opposition,that is fine, but stop the horrendous grade school name calling. As Americans, we look very stupid and immature.

And whom do we need to nuke now, Rep Geoff Davis? lol
Problem with these military-obsessed people is that they constantly dream about nuking the world; but they are never capable of managing the MORE IMMEDIATE & LONGER TERM CHALLENGES OF PEACE & PROSPERITY for Americas.
It’s like; let’s bomb the hell out of Iraq and worry about the aftermath — death to American economy!
If Rep. Geoff Davis has half the brains, vision and intellectual sphere of influence of that ‘boy’ and Harvard lawyer, Barack Obama, then Geoff would be coming up with a MORE RELEVANT & MORE CONSTRUCTIVE scenario to help get Americans out of the CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER of economic meltdown, being bogged down in the Iraqi hell hole, and the maniac muslims nesting in Afghanistan and in the bad lands of Pakistan!
At least Geoff has enough brain cells left to recognize his racist implication and seek to make amends.

Kevin:
wow, you really think highly of yourself (“highly-educated “). Actually, Kevin, I’m a medical doctor and I get to treat people everyday who live off the entitlements that our taxes pay for, like the lady the other day who was having a c-section 10 months after her prevoius one (“free”, of course) but demanded the OB doc not take out the staples from her previous c-section, simply because her lawyer said she could sue the previous surgeon much more easily. Mind you, she never went for a post-op check after her first one like she was instructed. Yeah, democrats are really helping the country (and minorities) get on their feet…

Kitty
I know you don’t want to admit that it was we white folks that made blacks slaves, we white folks that implemented segregation, we white folks that sent them to fight in World War II and Vietnam where they were dying in the frontlines at a faster rate than whites. We white folks that made the punishment for possessing crack cocaine 10 times stiffer than that for cocaine powder and severly damaged an entire generation of black families. We white folks that allowed our hippie children go into their neighborhoopds to buy their drugs (where else did the money come from?), festering a booming drug culture in the 80′s that reversed 4 decades of rapid black progress. We white folks that kept them out of the the economic boom that saved this country. We white folks that kept them out of the benefits of the GI bill that raised an entire generations from the hell of poverty and into new heights. we white folks that implemented racist laws that are still being struck down in the Supreme court. Take it even further. We white folks that colonized Africa and turned it, virtually, into a waste land. Oil fields, Shell, Chevorn, depositing oil into rivers, infecting people, killing innocents. We white folks that legitimize corrupt governments in Africa and give them guns that they use for genocies. We white folks. I know you are ashamed to admit this. But this wasn’t all done by the boogeyman. Soemthign did it,a nd now we have to live with it. ASt the very least, admit it. Or better yet, ask yourself one question: What happened to the black renaissance that climaxed in the 80? Do you know that black progress in this country reached amazing heights in the 80′s then suddenly, inexplicably, began to reverse under Reagan? That progress shows clearly that the black probrem is not biological. We did it once. We can do it again.

Hawk
What kind of medical doctor are you?

Reading comments here, I now understand why George W. Bush was elected. IDIOTS!

none of your business, kev

Hawk
What kind of medical doctor are you? I have some questions that you’ll need to answer to prove that you are a doctor. My wife is a doctor, and i have serious doubts that you are one.

Ask away Kev

1. Why is a presidential CANDIDATE being run through a national security simulation that involves the simulated detonation of nuclear weapons?
2. Are all presidential CANDIDATES required to take part in these ‘simulations’?
3. Why hasn’t the public ever been told that these simulations occur using CANDIDATES for President?
4. What happened during Hillary Clinton’s simulation, and John McCain’s simulation?
5. Most importantly, what happened during George W. Bush’s simulation while he was a CANDIDATE for President?
6. Why isn’t the public told of the results of these simulations after they happen?
7. What exactly goes on in these secret simulations?

Hawk
I don’t thnik you are stupid. You don’t have to claim to be a doctor to prove anything. You and i fundamentally disagree on this issue. I think white America hasn’t fully taken responsibility for what they did (and continue to do) to blacks not only in this country, but around the world. It’s not just white America either. It’s white Europeans and white Asians. It’s global, discrimination against blacks. I’ve had very close relationship with blacks across the world. If you want to understand the depth of the scar blacks carry in this country, don’t talk to young black folks (those ones are utterly lost, devoid of ethnic moorings). Talk to their fathers and mothers. The people that raised them. The forty-something year olds. Those that saw the tail end of segregation and the “whites only bathrooms.” Those that couldn’t get good jobs because of the color of their skin. You will begin to understand the effect on a man of being a second class citizen in the only country you have ever know. Have you seent the Havard study regarding attitudes of employers towards resumes? It came out about 4 years ago. I suggest you read it. This is America today. Not 150 years ago.

Barrack Hussein Obama = The “Boy”

Everyone is allowed there opion, Obama… if that sen. thinks you are someone who he deems not able to be the president and not able to make these important descions, then he can… F’in Liberies….

And who continues to play the RACE CARD? Barrack The Boy Obama? Over and over and over = the Victim.

Hawk
Let me summarize the Harvard study for you because it seems to me that you are the most reasonable oft he right-wing, black-hating crowd.
A bunch of resumes were put together with identical details. Same schools, same GPA, same experiences and every other thing. The only difference in the resumes were the names. Some had typical whites names like mine and others had typical black names, like Jamal. The study found that the resumes with white names had a 7 times better chace of getting jobs than the exact same resume with a black name. 7 times, Hawk. 7 times. This is not America 40 years ago. This is America today. Take the prison study too. This oen is pretty common knowledge. Do you know that blacks serve significantly stiffer sentences for similar crimes than whites? What do you call these things, Hawk. Be honest.

OLD WHITE MEN ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BITTER
THEY ARE BITTER BECAUSE IT’S TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS NOT IN THAT CLASS “OLD WHITE RICH MEN” TO STEP THE HELL OFF, SERIOUSLY.
THIS DUDE GEOFFF DAVIS, Needs to run into somebody like me, I’ll set his BUT staright”
____________
You are all mouth behind your keyboard, just like the rest of your ilk.
You’re nothing and you will find out, both you and Louis Farrakhan, that you are nothing come November.

“Do you know that blacks serve significantly stiffer sentences for similar crimes than whites? ”
Check with the D.O.J. dummy. Blacks create 78% of violent crime in this country.
Idiot.

The very simple question i:
“Do we move ahead into the 21st century or back into the 19th?”
Right now, we are spending millions of dollars an hour in Iraq. At this rate, soon, we will be broke. Dead broke.
The Republican elite want the US middle class to collapse, so they can offshore EVERYTHING except hamburgers and maximize their profits.
Why is it that oil was 16 bucks a barrel when Sadaam was in, and is now 120 a barrel? We could have sent Sadaam a Treasury check for 10 billion to split to Switzerland and saved ourselves FIVE TRRILLION + 4000 GI lives and 50,000 wounded and counting.
Let’s get our heads out of our butts and look at the clear alternatives.
McCain = 100 year war and armageddon (Plus more bank corruption… like McCain’s KEATING FIVE role)
Hillary = OIffshore to India and China (where 20 million of her 109 million came from).
Obama = reinventing America like FDR, from the grassroots up.
Yers, I’m white and proud of it, but my eyes are open. and Yes, everyone is bitter around here. There are no jobs in these parts.
These warmonger Republicans just chap my hide, royally, and the Princess who dodges fake imaginary snipers does also.
Like it or not, IKE was the last REAL Republican and Carter was the last Democrat.
BTW, Carter was done in by “October surprise” and the traitors in the GOP who secretly negotiated with Iran’s Khomeini to keep our hostages in Iranian jail cells for an extra year until Carter’s credibility was damaged and Reagan was elected.
The GOP was the basis of Iran-Contra.
READ YOUR HISTORY, IT MIGHT REPEAT.

But its ok to call whites c r a c k e r and other derogatory names? I call other males boy all the time….sheesh..shall we re-write the dictionary and get rid of words like this, since the MIGHT offend someone?

Kev:
my point exactly. To me, ancient history. I don’t need people to keep whining about how this or that has happened several decades ago. Why is it that immigrants from African countries can come here with nothing, and work their butts off (like a colleague of mine from Nigeria) and become successful? Because they don’t automatically assume they’re owed something by the descendants of their oppressors. It’s ridiculous. I say stop whining and work hard, stop harping on al the negativity and make something of yourself. Don’t always expect something for nothing. But as you see, entitlement programs do nothing to uplift people, but create a dependency system which inculcates people that if they don’t have wheels, a flat screen tv, a house bought (by any means necessary, including subprime mortgages which companies in many ways have been forced to do lest they be branded as not selling to the poor), then they are “in poverty” This country, with so much opportunity, is damned and called mean by certain segments of this population, and many peop-le are fed up with it. They are also fed up with the cynical policy of democrats throwing money at these people simply to create a loyal voting bloc, because since 1964 and all the programs Johnson created, not many people have been helped at all by the several trillions thrown at entitlements.

I bet this GOP politician is a Bush buddie and supports the KKK.

People like me have made this country great. Open-minded, hard-working, highly-educated folks that express tolerance, have made this country great.

Ah, yes: “our troops” the candidates are always invoking — Davis was an Army Ranger — talk tough sometimes, even ones who went to West Point. If Davis didn’t have a primary next month, he might not have said anything — now he gets a heap of publicity.
Too bad he had to go and say “boy” — which, if he’d gone at his publicity problem Obama-style, Davis might well have explained away as a regional expression of Congressional collegiality.
Hope he didn’t apologize for the “snake oil salesman”.

Vassie Welbeck-Browne – Slavery? You know slavery ended when thousands and thousands of WHITE men died for their freedom don’t you? That’s responsibility written in blood!

If you wish to look back at history, it was the DEMOCRATIC Party that was PROSLAVERY, fought AGAINST the 14th Amendment, and in my view has done their best to keep people of color as a permanent subclass by creating the welfare state which, historically, has penalized those who attempt to rise above it. In other words…THEY want the non whites to “know their place”…NOT the party of Lincoln! and anyone who wishes to argue that the historical facts are wrong……feel free..you’ll look like an idiot!

He said that working class people from small towns become hateful toward different people, immigrants and gays because they are bitter about their financial situation.
But as far as I know, good hearted people do not become hateful because they are having financial problems.
Only if you a hateful person to begin with would you ever feel that way.
He just called the working class whites “Bigots”!!

Thank you ABC news for allowing some free speech for a welcome change.

David,
You are a scary guy. I hope you are taking regular doses of your koolaid. However, it sounds like the dosage may be a bit off.
========================================
Obama, keeping ‘em calm with the koolaid!
========================================

Hawk: Perhaps it is because your Nigerian friend’s ancestors hasn’t worked their butts off to build the country already, as do their descendants who don’t get the full benefits of their efforts? Or, maybe it’s because your friend hasn’t had (or perhaps acknowledged) the weight of continuing racial oppression? Oh, or may he/she is like my Ghanian friends–they are working their butts off so they can leave racism in America and retire home to the new homes they have been able to build–some living a family to a room to be able to do so. Is that the way those who literally built this country and its good life on their backs should be living also?

Kevin,
It’s called racism. And it still exists, in BOTH directions my friend.
The answer isn’t to, out of guilt, vote a black man into office.

Obama can get away with writing in his book how much he hates Whitey (his mamma’s race), but this man cannot make an accidental slip of the tongue without getting reamed. Something is seriously wrong here!
Obama is a maggot.
McCain all the way if we want to save this nation.

R. Lennings: Good, then you can still support him when he loses the nomination and goes back to the senate seat where he belongs. And he played dirty pool to win that seat. He missed the boat when he said people cling to guns. What was he thinking. Gang bangers cling to guns, people turn to god and pray for help. On the other hand what would he know, he attended a racist church for 20 years with a racist anti-american pastor who did not preach the gospel.

Obomb 08! NO YOU CAN’T!
LOL!
When do you obomb’s get tired of taking it up the ass? LOL!

Hmmn! Elitist, Snake Oil Salesman, Boy, Annie Oakley, etc. Just remember, this is just the start of name calling, we still have the general election ahead of us. All we can focus on (with the help of the media) is who’s calling who. And who needs to apologize. Still waiting for some discussion on issues.

Angus: different party, same racist thinking folks in both parties!

Gabriel: The Clinton’s made millions because they earned it. Bill Clinton made several speeches and Hillary makes a senator’s salary. If you set a goal for yourself in life and try hard to accomplish that goal you can make money too. There are too many people jealous of the money the Clinton’s made but how about the 33% taxes they paid and the ten million they donated to charity. Has Obama donated 250,000 to charity? I don’t think so.

NOBODY should say anything to the fragile OBAMA the GOD! Actually he is above GOD. He has right as GOD to rant and offend anybody e.g. the small-town people cling to rligion or guns out of frustration, his sexist, demeaning remarks on Hillary, or his racist remarks on his own grand mother (as a ‘typical white woman’). He does NOT need to apologize to anybody for his or his family/mentor/friend’s remarks as he is the GOD! Thats why the media gives him pree pass I guess for all his offenses and mistakes. We BOW to YOU GOD OBAMA!

To read some these post on this site reveals to me just how sad some of you folks are…..Does it make you feel powerful to hide in cyberspace and spew out such hatred? God sees what you are writing; and your words will continue to shape and mold you……for good or for bad….

Well, observer, you were obviously just getting warmed up!
It’s clear that your racism isn’t going to be penetrated by this blog, so the best solution is to ignore your racist rants.
Buh-Bye!
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

Ron March: Let me clue you in on Obama. Because he is half black and half white he is not black or white he is Mulatto. That’s the name that was given many, many years ago for children born to black and white parents. The blacks do not use it but it exists. He is not of a mixed race or bi-racial. The media calls him black because the black skin came out more than the white which it usually does. The media is familar with the name Mulatto also. You can also look that name up. Therefore if elected president, he would not be the first black president.

I know the Congressman and Barack Obama should accept his apology so we can move on!
http://osi-speaks.blogspot.com/2008/04/congressman-geoff-davis-is-class-act.html#links

NOBODY should say anything to the fragile OBAMA the GOD! Sorry, I apologize – Obama is ABOVE GOD!
*****************
He has every right to rant and offend anybody e.g. the small-town people cling to rligion or guns out of frustration, his sexist, demeaning remarks on Hillary, or his racist remarks on his own grand mother (as a ‘typical white woman’). But he does NOT need to apologize for his or his family/mentor/friend’s rants as he is the GOD!
****************
WARNING: But remember whenever anybody saya anything (true or false) against Obama the GOD then either they will be blamed as racist. So FEAR YOU ALL!
****************
Now we know why media is afraid of Obama because he is above GOD!

As far as I know good hearted people can become hateful. Take a good heartedd person, then take away his job, nor for anything he did wrong, but because a company can make more money by sending his middle class job to a third world country. Then he can’t get another job. Then the credit market sucks him into huge debt and changes his interest rate when he misses one payment by a few days. Then he gets that ARM loan because he thought thatr would give him some sort of money. Then roll over his car loan three times so he is totally upside down. Then he gets injured without insurance and the hospital charges him a lot more than they would any big insurance company. Unemployment benefits run out in six months. Bankruptcy, reposession of his home, dreams busted. That much frustration come out in anger and hate. He knows that all he can depend on is his friends when they hunt, and the church that helps him out. But the church says gays are bad. His friends say he could get work but an illegal immegrant is the same as the guy in the third world country because illegal immegrants work off the books and drive down wages (not true but beleivable). Yes any phsychologist will tell you that that much hate has to come out somewhere. Doesn’t make that guy any different than you or me, just human. I think Obama did say something that is a little too true.

EVREY LIFE WE LIVE IS LIKE A MOVIE… IT IS THE BIBLE STORY THAT WE ARE LIVING. THE ONLY THING THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVEN’T REALIZED IS WHAT KIND OF LIFE WE AR LIVING. ASK YOURSELF ONE QUESTION: HOW COME OBAMA, ASSOCIATED WITH THE POOR PATRONAGE, COULD KEEP HIS COMPAIGN GOING TILL THIS TIME. THEN ASK YOURSELF AGAIN, HOW COME YOU JUST FOUND YOURSELF SUPPORTING THE OBAMA08. SO, YOU ARE LEFT TO WONDER… IS IT REALITY, A DREAM OR THE WRITTEN PAST AS MENTIONED BEFORE? IT IS THE WRITTEN PAST… BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING ALREADY A WRITTEN STORY…. YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT, CLINTON CAN’T CHANGE IT, MCAIN CAN’T CHANGE IT… IT IS GOD WHO CAN CHANGEIT… SO IF YOU CAN’T CHANGE IT THEN JOIN THEM… IF YOU CAN’T JOIN THEM THEN YOU WILL LIVE A BITTER LIFE… A REGRETFUL LIFE….

Its remarkable, but you would think that Obama is the first black to ever run for President. Where was the media when Alan Keyes ran? He is very intelligent, a fabulous speaker, and oh no…a CONSERVATIVE! Now the liberal media has their darling..a far left, liberal Black democrat who would have us become socialist ……ain’t that a HUGE surprise?

Yikes!

Use of such coded language shows how racist overtones still taint our thoughts. These show up only when a person has his or her guard down. Apologizing for it is a start but stopping with that will not cure us our ills. We are all stressed having to deal with poor economy, death of our soldiers in a far away land, and the loss of thousands of jobs. The soldiers we lost are not coming back. The jobs we lost are not coming back either. We should stop focusing on the trivial and look for ways to get our country back on track.

Marianne Pepitone:
The distinction is that Bill made approx. $800k for lobbying CAFTA, Hillary and Bill file their taxes together and have a joint bank account, therefore she has benefited financially from this deal, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the money is funding her campaign.
Turn on your brain before you open your mouth.

So what was Obama to have said to the questions from his big money backers..”No, I cannot get the rural vote because I am black?”

Retrovision – I totally hear what you are saying about women being called girls – it makes me cringe. But, it was just a couple months ago when I caught myself talking to my 46 year old husband and referring to him and his coworkers as “boys.” I meant nothing disrespectful to them, I meant it more in “you and your group of friends” kind of way. I have 4 boys. I also catch myself calling my 18 and 20 year old sons “boy” quite often, and I’m actually saying it in a fun way. I realize, I need to practice what I preach.

Vassie Welbeck-Browne:
sounds, once again, like you’re making excuses for the fact that some people just don’t want to work hard and apply themselves. Oh well, I guess it is easier to just put your havd out and for someone to be guilted into handing you money. I’ve also had black friends too that decided that doing drugs, relying on handouts, playing hookie, and blaming other people was not the way to go, but studying hard in HS was, and THEY ARE SUCCESSES (and I’m not talking about already well-to-do blacks like obama). Face it, what many of the things obama has done and said are indefensible and would be torn apart by the media, and you, had not only he been white, but/or conservative, like Alan Keyes…

jock59801:
as I remember it, Keyes is conservative, and therefore (like Rice Powell, and Thomas) called uncle toms or its equivalent by black democrats, therefore making it decidedly not only about issues but race…

Julia – Like a lot of words, it does depend on the spirit with which it is said. Most white men do not like be called “boy” by strangers either, although if friends and family do it in a light-hearted way it is of course fine. But “boy” was used for decades to denigrate blacks and purposely remind them that they could NEVER be the equal of whites no matter how “successful” they became. And since in this case it was definitely used in a derogatory way, I hope we would ALL consider it offensive.

To Oberver
I wish we didn’t have to HIDE BEHIND A KEY BOARD, but what can a “GUMP” WEAK dude like you do, I mean how else can u stand out. You ain’t standing on nothing dude.

Mariannn Pepitone:
Perhaps you missed my last post to you, it ended with: “Turn on your brain before you open your mouth”
A white person calling an adult black male “Boy” is derogatory no matter which way you try to spin or justify it.
You m’am, are a racist and for you to call Obama a racist is unfounded. People like you subsist on sound-bites that feed into your ugly, ill minds that were probably indoctrinated into racism at a young age.
I hope you and the people like you that have done more to destroy the moral fabric of this great country, a country that Obama loves and is proud to be a citizen of will someday wake up and enlighten yourselves that we are created equal.

Kevin, your lack of knowledge of history is startling. Slavery existed in Africa when white people were still living in mud huts in Europe. It still exists today in Africa, and if you want to talk of racism, take a hard look at current African genocide.
I have no idea why black American can’t get a handle economically and socially. I assumed it’s because black men would rather be “players” than “fathers.”
Like I said, it was culturally insulting and just stupid to call Senator Obama “boy” but lets face facts, Sentaor Obama’s preacher has called all white people worse names, and incited more hatred aimed at us, than this mindless republican did.
And by the way, CanadaWatching, mind your own damn business. Your French citizens seem to hate the rest of you, so don’t tell me all is bliss in Canada.

DON’T START TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND NO BIBLE TALK, MR. OBSERVER
Stand on what your comments were. You had the nerve to pick with me and don’t bring up FARRAKHAN cause those people have no time for you. So whats up where are you???

Obama hasn’t done anything to merit a presidential job. All he has done are giving speeches and promisses that he can’t fullfil. He is a liar, a snake oil salesman. He and Michelle are not the proud Americans. Unpatriotic to lead this great country. NO OBAMA!.

Sanity Man:
well, if you can’t live within your means and think you deserve everything you listed (house, car, credit cards, tvs, etc, etc), then don’t be surprised when things like this happen. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS, and stop blaming everyone when you can’t make your damn payments.

Hey OBSERVER
Don’t worry about whether it works or not
just deal with me/ I can assure you it works. You spitting bad slob from your tarp mouth like it matters it doesn’t!!!!!!!!

True…he did beat him..but at least Keyes has no ties to indicted criminals, his wife has not lately become proud of America, and he doesnt attend a church led by an avowed racist minister..so gee..Im SO proud of what Illinois sends to DC!

YOU AINT GOING NOWHERE,
Hey I’d love to pay for your transportation to come see me so we can deal with this but YOU AINT GOING NOWHERE DUDE, JUST ANOTHER
NO SEX GETTING DUDE THAT STAYS AT HIS KEYBOARD

ANYTIME YOU SEND OBAMA OUT IN PUBLIC, MAKE SURE AND HAVE A MINIATURE PATRICK DEVALL IN HIS POCKET SO OBAMA CAN LIPSYNCH.
ONCE OBAMA IS LET LOOSE WITH NO TELEPROMPTER OR STOLEN SPEECHES, HE SPEWS “BITTER” GARBAGE.
HE IS A BOY . . . A DREAMER, A VISIONER AND A CHANGAMANIA THAT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS CHANGING.
HE IS ALSO A BOY FOR SAYING CLINTON IS HIS “MOMMY” AND OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT HE MEANT BY “BITTER.
THE DOORS WERE CLOSED IN SAN FRANCISCO. HE DIDNT COUNT ON GETTING CAUGHT.
A P O L O G I Z E OBAMA!!!!!

Watcher sounds really spangled. I can see the stress marks in the letters in the blog replies cuz the keys are getting hit so hard in between shots, knocking over bottles and stuff. Good grief….Everyone duck.

I made the mistake of using the term “boy” several years ago with a co-worker. I’ve used the word for years, and in every case, it has ALWAYS meant the same…. a young male, usually less than 12 years old or an adult male being very childish and acting like a 12 year old.
Never dreamed of it being used in any other way… But my co-worker was black and you’d have thought I had rolled his car off a cliff with his entire family inside.
The real strange part of the whole situation was that he was quick to refer to me as his “red-neck” friend.
Go figure………..

HELL NAHHHHHHH OBSERVER just tried to be hip and use the word “PLAYA”
HEY FOOL DON’T NOBODY USE THAT WORD NOMORE”
HA HA HA
STAY IN YOUR LANE BOY, STAY IN YOUR LANE
LOL LOL LOL LOL

DUDE WHY YOU KEEP BRINGING UP OTHER PEOPLE
(REV WRIGHT AND LOUIS) I have nothing to do with them. DEAL WITH ME BOY, YOU DEALING WITH A MAN, THIS AINT NOBODY BUT ME AND YOU
DON’T FORGET TO WIPE THAT KEYBOARD WHEN YOU’RE DONE

I read that a certain percentage of our population remains hard core racists and we can do little to budge them. Those folks were manipulated and agitated by Rove under Bush and still today. Be ever so afraid of the scary black man who dares to talk about national issues.
I’m tired of hearing people who never went to one of Rev Wright’s sermons rant about them – yes, white people attend. He’s a nationally known speaker and surprise surpise, he is NOT known as a black supremacist – you are dupes of a political machine and are embarassing yourselves.

OBSERVER JUST GOT BLASTED LIKE THE BITCH HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mariann Pepitone – Your math is a little off. Clinton will win Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico, yes, and maybe Indiana, but that won’t give her as many delegates as Obama, EVEN IF Michigan and Florida are included.
I like Hillary Clinton, but I don’t think she should win without, you know… winning.

Antoin – You shouldn’t be far behind.

OK IT SEEMS LIKE THE AIR HAS FINALLY BEEN CLEARED,
I apologize to others on this board. I HAD TO DEAL WITH A RACIST IDIOT, FAKE NO SEX GETTING BIGOT, BOY WHO DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT POLITICS, ETHICS, SOCIETY, RELIGION ETC

Mary that was not an consending attack that was a racist attack! That goes to show you don’t know Blacks at all! Boy is a demeaning remark that slave owners and racist use. You people never cease to amze me. Obama 08********

abcdebate – LOL you really do “interact” with Homeland Security! Employee, sub-contractor, or suspect?

An Interesting Alliance has formed between Clintonites, the Talk Radio Right and the Conservative Elite. These parties and their wingnut footsoldiers form an Axis.
All speak the same talking points and share a similar goal. These days it can be virtually impossible to distinguish a Red State Wingnut from a Clintonite by their respective use of rhetoric when reading the comment boards on the internets (such as here). Since these groups have combined forces, maybe there is a new group of people who qualify to be labeled as wingnuts. Perhaps they are all wingnuts now.
Right now, we have a new name for this alliance of Clintonites, Talk Radio Wingnut Warriors and Conserva-gensia.
The Big Three are now named:
THE AXIS of the INCOHERENT.

Rep Davis was catering to the KY rednecks he was speaking to,By calling BO boy. I Live in Louisville KY. Some parts of our state is so backwater its pitiful.

Obama and his “Clan” are nothing but Black Nazis, Black Supremecists and Blackkk Klansmen. As racist as anybody is on the planet. But racism doesn’t seem to matter in this country unless its a White person doing it. Such double standards and hypocracy.

For those in a tizzy because Bill and Hillary made 109 million dollars over the past 7 years, you should also note that they paid 33% in taxes (highly unusual for rich people) and they donated 9.5% (10 million) to charity.
Obama on the other hand donated 1% th charity, with the exception of last year when he donated 22,000 dollars to Rev. Wright’s rants.
BO was asked why more people weren’t supporting him in PA and his response is that because they are poor and bitter they are redneck racists. Then he tries to tell us that’s a compliment…again, he thinks people are too stupid to understand his shyster talk.
Lou Dobbs said it tonight: Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Sounds good to me.

Observer – Yep he’ll win the nomination. Clinton is trailing in states, popular vote, pledged delegates, and in national gallup tracking poll by 10 points.The general may depend on Texas which McBush and GObama are only separated by one percentage point. Nationally GObama has a three point advantage according to gallup tracking poll (Hillary one point). There is a reason why the RNC will not attack Hillary but will Obama, it’s becase Obama is more electable, and at if Hillary convinces enough super delegates to go for her blacks will sit out the general. McSame has a lot of bagage that will come out in the general.(dumping disabled wife to have an affair and marry rich trophy wife, trophy wife gets drug addicted and steals from her own charity, Keeting 5, and that little lobbyist we heard about a few months ago). Also Iraq is now going south, and economy is a sliding into a recession. But hey, maybe falsely convincing everbody that Obama is a Muslum will work.

Ha , Ha, Obama never makes mistakes, what happen to him about” Bitter”.
Did you see ,Last night at Compassion Forum Barack Obama was flirting with Brwon Campell. Obama , please leave now,
Go Hillary

Racist white America at their finest. What does one expect from a Republican from the South.

What a bunch of ignorant blog-a##holes on this site tonight. Obama is the only one who voted against this horror in Iraq. A war that has cost tens of thousands of dead and wounded American soldiers, cost over 600 billion dollars, enraged the Arab world costing us dearly at the pump and creating this recession that we are now experiencing.
And not one Iraqi was involved in the 9/11 attacks on the US, not one. Why don’t you Obama (Black) haters just go to bed, curl up with the Confederate flag, and dream of those good ole days in da South when dem “darkies” knew their place. Crackers!

I don’t know but it says “made in Indonisia”

The Senator from Kentucky should never have apologized. The Senator from Illinois is too young to serve, and not nearly old enough to understand and century-old meaning. Immaturity is just that, Sir, immaturity. You are unqualified to lead the most powerful Nation on the planet.

To J Denver: I couldn’t find a response to your post, which was interesting. It was tough reading through some of the hateful comments.
I was impressed to see Rep Geoff Davis’ apology and pray it’s accepted.
BTW, I would not be shocked if the National Security Simulation was just another “set-up” …think about it!!!

BOY-BOY-BOY..Obama is a BOY. Why should this guy appoligise to him??? If this nut case ever gets in the Whitehouse and the phone rings at 3AM and the missiles are in the air..This BOY will have to call his big buddy Rev Wrong, the NAACP and the ACLU for a decision what to do next..

Obama the next president of the united states!!!!!!!!!!!!! hilliry does not stand a chance

Excuse me! Some of us are trying to have a civilization here!

Calling Obama a boy… I guess is worse than Obama calling Whites & This Country a bad name??? I wonder where This Country is going when the African American can get away with anything… while the rest of the Country can’t say anything… I hope that the People wake up before it’s to late and McCain wins this Election… Because Obama will have know chance against McCain… Thats why the Media is beating up on Hillary…

“… or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America,” said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman”
——
It’s neither absurd nor offensive to say that Obama is not prepared to defend America. It’s simply the truth. He and his wife and many of their “friends” and supporters are much too bitter and biased ….
——
We need a President who cares for all of America!!!!

Wow. Unintentional words that were subliminally spoken for the masses. This, my friends, is what America really thinks.

Funny, my wife said recently “We’ve got to get our boy elected.” But she meant in an endearing and respectful way.
Obama, ’08, ’12

OBAMA GAVE UP NOTHING TO WORK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO.  HE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLOIT THE SOUTHSIDE CHICAGOIANS TO GET WHERE HE IS TODAY.  PLEASE NAME TO BILLS THAT HE SPONSORED AND GOT PASS THAT HELPED HIS SOUTHSIDE CONSTITUENTS. HIS PLAN ENCOMPASSEDING GOING INTO THOSE COMMUNITIES AND “ORGANIZINING” SUPPORT FOR HIMSELF TO FURTHER HIS POLITICAL AMBITIONS. OF COURSE HE DID DIRECT GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZE PROPERTIES TO HIS ASSOCIATE REZKO SO THAT HE COULD REMODEL AND REDEVELOPMENT WHICH END UP IN THE TENANTS SUING REZKO FOR LACK OF HEAT IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. IMAGINE POOR &OLD PEOPLE WITHOUT HEAT IN THE WINDY CITY. I GUESS THOSE PEOPLE WERE JUST A STEPPING STONE, WHO DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE UNITED WITH HEAT.

Larry – Sit down, take your meds. The media are not all after you. Obama is likely the next president. After the last 7 years it can only get better. The economy will get better, we will stop the killing of Americans in Iraq, we won’t attack Iran, and yes terrorists will take a whack at us (for the next 50 years under any president) but we will survive with less casualties than there are because we don’t have universal health care. Be calm good times are at hand.

A.Lincoln – Obama didn’t vote against the Iraq war. He wasn’t even in Congress when the vote to authorize force was taken. Since he has been in Congress, he has repeatedly voted to continue funding of the war he supposedly opposes. But it’s everyone else on the blog who is ignorant of the facts, right?
On the other hand, Congressman Ron Paul WAS in Congress when that vote was taken. He voted AGAINST the Iraq war. His position has never changed. But the American people had little interest in Dr. Paul, despite the fact that he was the one candidate who truly would have ended not only this war, but avoided all the other illegal, unnecessary wars that are to come. If there’s anything to be disgusted about, it’s that a true Constitutionalist was ignored while people like Obama, Clinton and McCain got all the national attention. This country, dear friend, deserves what it gets.

Any Republican talking about judgement after these last 8 years would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

Obama is better than this coward and he will regret these words one day. I assure you!!!!!

IT IS SO SAD TO SEE SUCH BAD SPORTS IN AMERICA. YOU ARE ANGRY BUT IT DOES NOT MATTER .. HILL IS LOSING AND OBAMA WILL BEAT MCCAIN AS WELL. YOUR PREJUGDICE WILL NOT MAKE HIM LOOSE BECAUSE THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. YOU CAN CALL BLACKS WHATEVER AND IT SEEMS YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT YOURSELVES CAUGHT IN Y0UR OWN WORDS. IF HE WAS LOSING YOU COULD BE GRACIOUS “WE GAVE HIM A CHANCE,” YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND QUICKER NOW. WATCH IT KARMA IS CATCHING.

Of all the candidates, Obama is the only one who’s ever been on food stamps. Condescending? Aloof? out of touch? Please have your brains checked out.

winning0853 – If Obama’s got a crystal ball that good that he could give up a big time law firm offer to work in Chicago, then he has got to be elected. He can get out of law school, see his opportunities that well and make them happen! He has got to be elected so America can have that much good planning.

So what this congress man is telling us is that he has better judgement? Yet he had to appologise profusely seconds later and had to hand deliver his sorry ass apology to the next president of the United States personally.

SINCE WHEN WASN’T A MULATTO BLACK WHITE SLAVEOWNERS CHILDREN MULATTOES WERE STILL BOUGHT AND SOLD AS BLACK SLAVES. YOU GUYS TRY TO GET SO DEEP ITS DUMMY

Gillis – Your argument that Obama is incapable of being condescending or elitest because he was once on food stamps is ridiculous. It follows exactly the same logic used by those who claim that Obama can’t be racist because he racially mixed. Both points are nonsense. Elitism and racism are states of mind and have nothing to do with one’s background or physical characteristics.

Hillary is been called the B word the C word, the M word a sly reporter managed to twist his headline adding “betcha” knowing exacly what he meant and it passed. No apologies. Pathetic and sad way to treat the gender that carries you for nine months.

ruthmatters…You have issues, go get your meds.

Well he makes his point then apologizes.
Then someone else will do it, and then apologize. Then some else again and on it goes. All the while they get there say.

Gillis, the Obama’s made $1M last year. What do you call a rich man that calls you poor?

Shoooeee! Anybody want to talk, let’s say, policy? Everybody seems to be venting. Everybody tonight seems, um, bitter?

BOY he is … A BOY in politics who wants to be the PResident of the United States?
Where is the beef?
NO credentials, NO resume, No experience, NO knowledge … BOY alright!
And if Obama cannot take criticisms, he should just DROP out of the race.
No Need to apologize for stating the facts … That is what Obama said when he made his “BITTER” remark.
So No need to apologize here either for stating the facts.
GROW UP, OBAMA and go back to Illinois

DCVoter – Your comment about Senator Obama speaks more about you than about him. He never said small town people were “dumb”. He said they were bitter about their economic situation and they essentially found comfort in guns or religion. I don’t know if they are bitter but when people are stressed, it isn’t unusual to seek relief in things that are familiar. It seems to me that the economy brought about by the Republican spend and borrow policies have led this country into the current recession. People have lost jobs, homes and security. They are stressed thanks largely to the foolish investment in an unneeded war and re-building Iraq …which by the way Senator Obama opposed…and Senators Clinton and McCain supported. Ask yourself: Do you wish to continue the current policies? If you do, then McCain is who you should support.

There’s no political capital here for Clinton. Obama just misspoke but the jist of what he said is true in America.

Rule #1 Don’t ever call an African American “boy.”
Rule #2 If your name is sounds like the ex-president of the Confederate States of America (Jefferson Davis) REALLY don’t call an African American “boy.”
Rep. Davis get with the 21 Century quickly.

conservatives are a joke

Geri,
I don’t think you understand why it is so insulting for a white man to call a black man a BOY. This was one of those things slave owners and racist white people called blacks to let them know that they would never be equal. But, it looks like whites have no idea how demeaning that is to blacks. Sorry, but you white people are the reason black men find this insulting. If you read some of these blogs then you will know why blacks feel the way they feel. You people are racist and I don’t understand how you can be so racist when you are the ones that did blacks and any person of color the way you did. Blacks have a right to HATE whites, we were the ones that were treated like animals! So, get off you high horse and stop trying to make excuses for the wrong that has been done to people of color. It is time for blacks to be equal to whites, as a matter of fact it is time for all people of color to be equal to whites. I tell you if Obama is cheated out of this election blacks will stay home and Hill can’t win without the black vote. So all of you Hillary supporters better watch how you talk about blacks cause we will make a difference! I will personally launch a campaign to keep black voters at home. Together We STAND!

sorry I don’t take meds but judging from your pot, your language is left to be desired.

I laughed hysterically when this Republican clown said “snake oil saleman.” This is a man affiliated with a political party which is completely dependent upon the contributions of a crazy-butt South Korean self-proclaimed “messiah” which finances a leading conservative newspaper. This is a congressman associated with a political party which panders to the most outrageous, grandiose “snake oil salesmen” on our televisions – the cabal of con-artist conservative “ministers” who regularly demonize other Americans in an effort to scare people into releases a few silver coins from their purses. This is a man in a political party which treats Pat “someone should nuke the State Department” Robertson as an influential figure and used our national Congress and the Presidency to pursue special rights legislation for Terri Schiavo.
For almost eight years this country has had to live with George Bush near the nuclear button – now that same party offers us John McCain, who struggles to even figure out who we are fighting in Iraq, though he’s more than willing to keep us there for 100 years until he figures it out.

The Bush Administration is not full of snake oil salesman and I can prove it quite simply. Where the Bush folk selling snake oil, it would cost $115 a barrel.

This is what Bill Clinton thinks about white folks.

Mike: That does not make him a punk. Punks generally don’t give a s@#$t.

Brenda thank you so much for that link. I love it when folks post facts rather than opinion.

Really, is this what presidential elections have become? Does anyone actually care about the state of the country or the direction it is headed? I have a few questions for consideration, regardless of which candidate you support:
1) What would the candidate do about the Federal Reserve’s continued promotion of inflation coupled with devaluation of the dollar, which is crushing the middle class?
2) Why are the candidates blaming the price of gasoline solely on the oil companies instead of talking about the impact of the plummeting value of the dollar on oil prices?
3) How will the candidate address the rising cost of food which is directly linked to mandated inclusion of ethanol in gasoline?
4) How would the candidate answer the claim that affirmative action policies are openly discriminatory towards those who had nothing to do with past racial grievances? Does he/she believe that AA foments racial resentment in a nation obsessed with race? If so, what will he/she pursue as policy?
5) How will the candidate expand expenditures on entitlements (i.e universal health care) when the economy simply can’t support those additional expenditures?
6) Will the candidate be willing to significantly reduce the size and scope of an increasingly intrusive and bloated federal government in order to substantially reduce taxes for all?
7) Will the candidate concede that civil liberties have been severely eroded, particularly during the Bush Administration, and if so, what plan does he/she have to help restore those liberties?
8) What are the candidates specific plans for withdrawal not only from Iraq, but from the 170 countries around the world in which the United States military has a presence? And exactly why do we still have 30,000 troops in South Korea when we can’t/won’t defend our own borders?
These are but a few “real” items we could discuss…
Or, we could continue to talk about the use of the word “boy.” I know that’s much more important to the future of the nation.

Emiliana – That’s great. You’re really raising the level of discourse on here. I’d take the time to explain the difference between rates and absolute numbers, but clearly that discussion would be wasted on you.

Ruthmatters, I just did a site search of Electronic Intifada.net. Searched whole site for any reference to Barack Obama – nil, nothing. Please provide a link to substantiate your claim or some evidence to support such an accusation.

Keith,
Please pass link on. After reading information about what Bill Clinton said and compared it against what Oboma said, I see no difference. It’s about being fair. Note the News Media has not commented on story.

Work with me! click on the right side where it says Editorial-barack There’s a big picture of him and Michele. I do not shoot off my mouth.

….and who is this moron Geoff Davis from Gooberville, KY? Do we care what he thinks?

When a person of color says hateful things about America, about the Jews and about the Whites, instead of having to apologize, they GET TO EXPLAIN and the rest of us better understand the explanation or we are RACISTS !!!
When anyone says anything about people of color, they HAVE to apologize, apologize again and apologize again ..
You know what – We are sick and tired of it.
This is double standard >>
Obama, if you cannot take criticisms, you are welcome to DROP out of the race and go into private life instead of public life. If you choose to live a public life, then live with the criticisms …
Obama, you gave your speech about race in many words … We can do it in just 2 words … GROW UP …

Boy is a rascist word used by whites Any boy over 18 years is a Man. And should be adressed that way.

Thanks Ruth here the link to the article which is actually titled “How Obama learned to love Israel.” It clearly states that Obama “offered not a single word of criticism about Israel.” Thanks for the Obama love.

I can see that the pure thought of a black man being president is scarry to a lot of folks.

Brian sorry I had to attend to urgent matter. Now what do you mean must be Black thang?

Mr. McCambell (will that do?): Wow, that Nazi reference was really original. That’ll learn ‘em!! Clearly you’re an intellectual force to be reckoned with. Don’t think “boy” was racist = Nazi. Got it.

To-Observer–Your blogs sounds as though you are foaming at the mouth! Just looking for a fight with who ever dares disagrees with your way of thinking.Are you related to the “Clinton’s”???

Sanity Man- Obama does not need a crystal ball. Black politicians use the MO all the time. Believe me I know, I lived in district just like those in Chicago in Houston. All Obama had to do was follow the path that so many black politicians have walked in the past and present. Just look at Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas, of course the were appointed. Obama just happen to be available at a time when Carl Rove needed someone to carry out his election fraud this election cycle. Who better than someone who certainly is unelectable for the obvious reason. Then of course since K. Rove leaves nothing to chance just rest assured he has “some bombshell” that will blow Obama out of the water between Aug and Nov. Democrat need to become K, Rove savvy.

GrowUP I’ll ask a simply question. Are you a veteran? Have your served your country rather than just talked the talk. Rev. Wright served so in my book if he wants to criticize, he’s earned that right. He love America enough to be willing to put his life on the line for it. I am now and have always been of the opinion that vet’s have earned a right to make more of a commentary about America than any other Americans. Wright was critical of America but I’m struggling to see the racism.
I have addressed the issues of human behavior for nearly two decades now and racism for me always boils down to behavior. Can you show me where Wright or Obama every engaged in actions that oppressed another human. Even Wrights comments – Hillary has never been called a “n” and Obama grew up in an America ruled by rich white folks. What do you define as racists about this?
Hillary and Bill both claim she’s picked on, she cries, she’s shrill, etc. It would seem to me that Hillary is the candidate with thin skin.

I love that boy Obama, he’s got purple lips

70% of white children are born to single mothers, the vast majority of those mothers are under 20 years old. Fully half of white girls under the age of 18 have STD’s. The high school drop out rate is about 60% And they are stung out on drugs

IMHO, after reading the Senators comment, I don’t feel he was using “boy” in the racial context rather being older than Obama, gee who isnt, I believe he meant it more in the sense of childlike. And if that! is the worst Obama will be called, he ought to say thank you. So here we have an immature candidate and his radical racist wife. Think twice about whether you want that at the helm of our country…

Ok this has really deteriorated to “cracker” level. Winning0853 while you’re sending Obama back to Africa be sure and hope a boat back to Europe yourself and leave a note in your home donating it back to a Native American family.

Perhaps like Wright this GOP congressman who has served his country in the armed forces with distinction can be excused for his words? Perhaps he is suffering from some sort of victimization that Obama can cure him of….maybe the guy just spent too much time in small town America!
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone…And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
When are Wright or Obama going to apologise for the profane attacks from the pulpit on Hillary? In any world that deserves an apology.

People, see our point being proven right here …
When they say hateful things, they GET TO EXPLAIN … They have GOOD reasons to engage in such rhetoric … They have the RIGHT to say such things .. We are FOOLISH not to understand …
No wonder the problem of race remains ..
It will end when they decide to GROW UP ALRIGHT.

Gillis – Please, spare me the lecture on alternative ways of thinking and Obama’s transcendental message about “solving America’s problems.” I’ve tried discussing policy with Obama supporters on many occasions, in many forums. They are, in my personal experience, universally devoid of substance. Mind you, I regard both Clinton and McCain as nothing more than regurgitations of failed political ideology as well. In short, I find this entire election cycle so disheartening that I don’t even know why I pay any attention.
My point is that Obama is all about racial grievance, or at least that’s what any discussion which involves him even tangentially degrades into. If you want to talk about “boy,” have at it. Tomorrow it’ll be something else equally as stupid. The candidates don’t address real issues because the American people demonstrate over and over again that they don’t care about real issues. All I hear is more of the same old recycled nonsense and endless discussions about who was “offended” today. So go ahead and wallow, Gillis. It seems you’ve got a lot of company on here.
The only thing I see coming out of an Obama presidency is a race war.

Obama is not a god nor is he a boy. He is an American with a perspective and an opinion who is willing to take center stage and put action to words.
The Senator’s remarks, in my opinion, were immature, divisive, racist and wholly uncalled for. If the Senator’s did not believe that Sen. Obama faired well during the simulation, he need only say “Sen. Obama did not fair well during the simulation.” Any more is simply being a “bully on the playground.”

Keith – My ancestor came over here in the hold of a ship.  At least the  small part of them that dictate my race did.  Of course my other ancestry consist of the Vikings and France, the Indian part was alreadt decided to hide in the hill of La.with the ex-slaves when the US army was marching them from Florida to the reservation in Oklahoma. The other part is just plain – O Cracker as you say!  But I did not post that comment you are giving me credit for Mine is the one below.  But thanks anyway for thoughts on my going back to Africa. No thanks, I think my background give me a right to stay in this country since the crackers wanted us so badly they stole us and broght us here.

I want to know where other Senators and rep. came out and disagreed with Barack statement of small town america are bitter..which by the way is completely true just visit and ask.
Why are they not out there addressing this??
He apologized but did he really mean it?? When Barack said i did not mean to offend anyone and apologized any one could tell he really meant it.
I would not want to be Geoff for awhile
his life is not going to be good for awhile.
Barack is a good and decent man.
Obama 08

I wish he wouldn’t have used that term…I wonder why he thinks that Obama can’t make national security decisions…I guess the truth about Obama is starting to come out.

this is what Ali abumisay excactly Keith
your resonse to me does not even make sense.beccause why would a pro arab paper come off saying Obama is pro israel without rebuttal. Obama is wishy-whasy about the middle east. and we would like his stance on that.
“Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.
As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”
But Obama’s gradual shift into the AIPAC camp had begun as early as 2002 as he planned his move from small time Illinois politics to the national scene. In 2003, Forward reported on how he had “been courting the pro-Israel constituency.” He co-sponsored an amendment to the Illinois Pension Code allowing the state of Illinois to lend money to the Israeli government. Among his early backers was Penny Pritzker — now his national campaign finance chair — scion of the liberal but staunchly Zionist family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain. (The Hyatt Regency hotel on Mount Scopus was built on land forcibly expropriated from Palestinian owners after Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967). He has also appointed several prominent pro-Israel advisors.”

worldsam-I agree with your analogy. That’s why we shouldn’t be so gullible as to think that people in this country is ready for Obama. On the other hand is Obama is not ready for this country either.

I am glad Mr. Davis apologized, but he never should have used that term to refer to Senator Obama. I am a Senator Clinton supporter, and dislike any of this type of disparaging remarks. It’s simply wrong. Just as I was upset over Randi Rhodes remarks. Must we sink so low?

Sad that these RACIST Republicuns are getting away with this crap! USA CHOOSE WISELY, HATE or HOPE? CHOOSE WELL…

James McC – Honestly, are you really that dim? It was a figure of speech. There’s currently a “race war” raging on this blog, or hadn’t you noticed? Now picture that on a national scale. Good God man, sounds like you’re the one who has a copy of the Turner Diaries under his pillow. I’m sure it’s right next to Cone’s “A Theology of Black Liberation.”

Brian: You seem to have dual personality. On the one hand you want to focus on the issues. but you would rather stick to the distractions you have just critisized. Heres’s what you should know about the second part of his re,marks.
When people are helpless, they stop trying snd trust God for everything. That’s what Obama is saying. Time and Time again republicans make gun ownership a campaign issue as if people’s lives depends on it. They make them forget the real issues such as their own eceonomic well being and fight for the tradition of owning guns. Stop confusing the issues and you may yet be redeemed.

I just came off another ABC site and we were actually having a sane dialog – hard to believe when I look at the comments here.
Senator Obama is not the racist. The racists are people whose biases and prejudices come out on a forum like this – it is easy to hide behind a keyboard so people spout the stuff they wish they could say every day but cannot. You might just as well get your hate out here – there will be a great more hate you can spew when Senator Obama becomes President Obama.

Don’t agree with the “boy” description of Obama, but “snake oil salesman” may not be too far from the truth.
Psalm 31:6 “I hate those who cling to worthless idols”; treats “cling” as a mostly negative term as most people do in regular life. What frustrates Obama (and what his fellow liberals don’t understand) as that most religious people would rather follow Psalm 31:6, than cling to the power of the State that promises Utopia. According to Obama, if the people would just cede all their power and money to the State than Obama could decide who gets how much back, if any. Problem is that most of the peoples money would first have to go to pay off the State workers, politicians, and of course, the Rezko types Obama is so beholden to. Than, what ever is left over, could than go back to the people. Provided the people followed all the rules and laws Obama and his friends imposed on the people before they could get any of their money back.

My policy ideas don’t have to be different from Hillarys. I have chosen Obama to be the candidate to best deliver on those policy ideas. Because I don’t trust Hillary, and although I supported Bill, I have always known that he is slick Willy. You see I have found someone better, not perfect, but better by far.

Gillis – This is precisely what I am talking about. In previous posts I have specifically identified real policy issues that would be important to me as a voter. I have done this before on other discussion boards. Nobody ever wants to discuss those issues or propose others that are important to them and open the floor to debate. I asked you why you support Obama, and to explain that in very specific language. You avoided the question. Fine, you’re not obliged to answer me, but you avoided it nonetheless.
Since nobody was bothering with discussions of say, monetary policy, I addressed another person’s post directly. The 2nd Amendment, for example, is NOT a distraction from economic issues. For some voters, a candidate’s stance on the 2nd Amendment gives significant insight as to how that candidate is likely to view other issues. For those voters, the 2nd Amendment in and of itself is just as important as say, tax policy. You probably don’t understand that, and obviously Obama doesn’t either. Hence, the “elitest” comment. I stated at the very beginning of my post that Obama’s words on the issue were of little importance to me.
So where do you see a disconnect? That’s a rhetorical question. I am much more interested in hearing what specific policy issues/stances make you think Obama is the right man for the job. So far all I’m getting is diversionary tactics, which seems to be the norm.

Drums make nosie as they are emplty inside.
Barak Obama is Harvard educated, Harvard Law President elect, father of 2 daughters and husband to an intelligent woman. raised by white grandparents.
BARAK OBAMA ‘ 08.

voice of reason – that is the court case of Peter Paul vs. Bill Clinton – Hillary was dismissed from the case as a defendent but will still be called as a witness. The case goes to court two days after the PA primary. A great deal of damage to the Clintons could come out of this case.

This is a non-issue. I’m still an Obama supporter.

Clinton 1499 13,755,568
Obama 1639 13,858,246
This why you guys are trying to pull him down. He is ahead. He is liked by far more voters than your candidates becasue he speaks the truth. Whenever your candidate speaks she spews lies, voters hear it, know it, believe it and punish her for it.
All you got are dirty tricks, insinuations, and name calling. If John Edwards were in his place, you would not spare him either. So I understand.
Brian: in answer to your question, they don’t seem to be any policy difference between them, but Hillary is a fabricatior and a liar. Obama is not a liar. He may misspeak, but he ius not a liar like your candidate. I don’t want to present Hillary to the American people and tell them to vote for her.

This only makes me support Obama even more…if they’re going to stoop to calling him “boy” then obviously they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to come up with attacks.

Paul – “This only makes me support Obama even more…if they’re going to stoop to calling him “boy” then obviously they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to come up with attacks.”
And to you, this constitutes a vaild reason for electing Barack Obama to the most powerful position on the planet? Because they called him a name? Are you serious?

The more we democrats discuss these stupid topics, the more chances McCain has to infest the White House. These republican traitors will squirm and squeal, but will end up kissing McCain’s boots in the end…and like roaches they will vote in droves in November. So lets wise up and start taking on the evil doers who live next door. They don’t understand us and they will NEVER understand us…..they do understand defeat…..lets shut up and deal.

In all those occasions the issue of the 2nd amendment were never really threatened. I have guns, many of them, because of that 2nd amendment.
All there was is this. Sugar is sweet and you have God given right to eat it. But if sugar costs you your teeth one by one, it would be prudent to cut down on your consumption of sugar. In the end, you still have the God given right to eat sugar.

Clinton got booed today in Pennsylvania for bringing up the “bitter” thing. Only the small minded and the journalist who have to fill the 24 hour news cycle really care.
The truth is those who lose their jobs or house will more likely than not be bitter. So what!

A poll was done in Philly today on philly.com – the question asked -’Was Obama’s bitter comment offensive?
No – 71.1%
Yes – 28.9%
http://www.philly.com/philly/polls/17657034.html?results=y
MSM just keeps knocking this story around; voters wil have the last say.

Good lord. The Obama campaign is going to ride that race card all the way to the white house. He has played it so many times on Hillary and the media bought into it so I guess he for sure will get away with it against McCain. If anybody knew anything about Southerners they would know that “Boy” is a term that is used all the time. It isn’t always meant to be racist. Obama is wayyyyy to sensitive or he is an opportunist.

Representative Davis’comments including calling a man a boy is beyond ugly.
The KKK of America’s congressmen are upset that Obama is a classy, educated male of African origin. The devil always gets busy when you are doing great things.
Obama will be the next president of these not so united, racist states.

brian does it bother you that people dont think that you hold so much power that they have to convince you why they like obama?
no one feels the need to answer to you get over it!!

Melissa – I think I stated, rather explicitly, that nobody has an obligation to explain his or her vote to me. I wanted to come here and discuss politics. And by that I mean political issues, not stupid back-and-forth comments where people call each other names. I honestly want to understand why Obama’s supporters think he is the best man for the job. I’ve asked supporters of the other candidates the same question, and they were happy to engage in a discussion. Not so with Obama’s supporters. To me, that’s curious.
The suggestion that I think I hold power over people on an Internet discussion board is just silly, but I suspect you know that.

100 million dollar elitist clowns calling someone else elitist?
Obama has already been president. President of the Harvard Law Review. He could have gone out after graduation and made a fortune. Instead he becomes a community organizer, making 20k.
Elitist? Don’t think so.

CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

Brian – point noted! Thank you for the explanation.

Gracie -
Drug hits, near-universal illegitimacy and welfare-bought bling-bling in da ‘hood? From a solidly black area that’s a lock for Obama? No M*thr-f*ing way, yo!
Stereotyping cuts both ways. Get it?

Gillis – Funny how the “silly” thing only seems to apply to Obama voters. It’s also interesting that you purport to understand the motivations of people you’ve never met.
Regardless, I don’t think it’s at all silly to ask someone why they like a candidate. I put a bunch of issues out on the table, and you had no interest in discussing any of them. To me, that’s silly.

Obama’s platform is just a big pyramid scheme with him and his cohorts at the top, calling all the shots and getting most of the money, with the people at the bottom, way bottom. Get a clue, that’s what ceding your power and money to the all powerful State is all about.

I agree, calling Obama a “boy” is definitely racist, and Davis is rightly getting called on the table for it by the media and just about everyone and has had to apologized. However, no one is questioning Obama’s twenty year membership in a church whose beliefs are based on black liberation theology. Following are some quotes from James Cone the architect of black liberation theology which Obama’s Trinity church adheres to:”If I had one hour left to live-I would want to spend it with my hands aroung the throat of a white man-choking him to death”"what we need to do is get rid of all this whitness-white people are the misery of the world”Obama has been a member of the Trinity Church for twenty years. In Obama’s so called greater than MLK “I have a dream” speech Obama clearly stated he would not sever his membership to his church. Given this you would think that someone in the media would have asked Obama whether he believes in the black liberation theology beliefs of his church. No No No, the media continues to drool over Obama and ignore the obvious issues with Obama’s association with not only his black liberation theology based church but his association with Jennifer Mason. Jenifer Mason is a member of the Nation of Islam and Obama’s Director of Constituent Services in his U.S. Senate office who is also in charge of selecting Obama’s Senate interns. Also Obama’s relationship with.Palestinian activist and Islamist Ali Abunimah. Abunimah is a close friend of Obama’s, who attended an Arab fund raiser and prominent PLO/Arafat adviser. The keynote speaker at which the Obamas were notably in attendance. The media has never questioned Obama as to whether his beliefs are in sync with his church’s belief in black liberation theology nor his association with a Nation of Islam member and a PLO sympathizer and Paletsinian activist. The simple truth is that if Obama was anyone else and he belonged to a church that promoted white liberation and supremists beliefs and anti semitic associated groups, the media would be all over the story. Fact is, Obama would be history by now as no one with an ounce of good will for human kind or common sense would vote for him.
So, who are the morons? Davis has been soundly blasted for his “boy” remark and has apologized. Whereas Obama can keep his membership in a church based on black liberation theology and no one appears to think that maybe Obama has some explaining to do.

This is getting boring, I am sick of the he is making racist remarks arguement, he was talking about the fact that Obama is inexperienced like a child. The main story should be that Obama is incapable of making decisions to protect america. I am sick of people having to justify any remarks because someone sees them as racist.Stop being so pathetic

OBAMA can’t figure out real Americans. We don’t care about whether you can bowl. We DO care if you call us racists and bitter when you, your wife and your pastor seem like the real bitter ones here. Go back to organizing real racists since that is where your strength lies, not in helping Americans. We don’t think Al Gore is right and we do think the military is the best that America has to offer in sacrifice.

why apologise if you are a racist, you dont ask for apology to change who you are, you remin the same after that, so to me you can keep your apologies to your self, or watch your mouth before you say what you said

Guess we can call him girl now.

The only thing more ridiculous than the constant hyperscrutinizing of every candidates every words and every actions by the media is the predictable way bloggers keep soaking it in. It’s all a distraction. When a sports reporter said golfers needed to go out and lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley, Woods accepted her apology for misspeaking and moved on. True, there are some racists out there who get off on slips like that, but the overwhelming majority of Americans recognize that we sometimes say unintentionally demeaning things of the opposite sex, different social economic classes, races and religions…we need to move on and focus on real issues. We need a breath of fresh air, and it should come from the people themselves and not from the hopes we pin on mere individuals who are seeking the highest office in the land. We’re a great country because of the people we are and not because of those who lead us.

As a 50 year old white male I am very disappointed with how much racism exist on this bog. It is ironic that those who express outrage with Obama’s use of the word “bitter” are obviously VERY bitter human beings.

There is no way ANYONE especially, senator Geoff Davis, believe his choice of words was a mistake. I feel it was his personal opinion of senator Barack, and black men in general. I think speaking them in public is the part he regrets. I feel it was a unfortunate but a true indication of where his thoughts are mentally! Let’s be real okay, he said it, he meant it, exactly as he said it. I hope people will take note of his future actions, words, and deeds and should be carefully considered. This is the kind of person that is holding our country back and is doing more damage than good. He is not GOOD FOR AMERICA! We are trying to get past this kind of thinking. He is a perfect example of what America DOES NOT NEED! I FEEL THIS ARE HIS PRIVATE AND CLOSELY GUARDED THOUGHTS. No two ways about it. If he is genuinely sincere in his apology, then this is the time he needs to take a look at him self, get EDUCATED because he dont have a clue. He still maintains he is somehow superior! Botton line,…. this slip of the tongue publicly, only expresses what he feels privately! And with all his supposed education and intelligence has not helped him at all and he dont WANT to see it any differently. Because it strokes his ego and at his age, really, just what this man really learned in his lifetime about America, history, and people in general. This is his choice to think this way. I think he believed it as a child and despite all the EDUCATION, he chose to think this way!

. As a white university professor, I, along with my children and grandchildren, am honored and privileged to be part of this great history in the making and vote for Sen. Obama. Now, will America rise to the occasion and embrace this great change and truly unite, showing the world that ONLY in America this can happen, and that it really is the land of the free? Or, will those whose better judgement is clouded by petty prejudices and misconceptions continue the divisive tradition of ‘Us’ and ‘Them’, propagated by those politicians who firmly believe in their politics of divide and rule and public deception?

I have message for all of you who hate Obama because he is black.
Don’t go through life so hateful that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. God whispers in our souls and speaks to our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don;t have time to listen and spew out hate for someone because they are different, He has to throw a brick at us. It’s our choice to listen or not. If God treated us the way we treat each other we would all be in a bad way. If God had a refrigerator your picture would be on it, if he had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Face it, friend- He is crazy about you and every person that came from his LOVE!!!!

HURRY!! Find Al!! Find Jesse!! Someone has been offended in the United States of the Offended!! Let’s march!!

army saved my life and i was willing to give it. its just hard to walk now but im too stubborn to stop

What makes Obama’s speech important, is that it helps us identify if his character and values fluctuate depending on his audience. The fact that these fundraisers, and the now controversial comments he made in them, were supposed to remain muted and partially unknown,

Rev.Wright preached a funeral last week and the cameras and reporters made sure they were there,that’s crazy.Rev Wright made a comment about Fox News in his sermon.Instead of Fox News ignoring the comment,they start bashing Obama all over again and Bill O’Reilly swore out he was finished with the Rev.Wright story until this incident came up.Truth is Bill O’Reilly and Fox News will never be through with the Rev Wright story,they love it,instead of ignoring the comment made by Rev.Wright,they spend most of the show showing the clip of his sermon over and over again.I know their job is to bash and insult the democratic party but to give so much attention to Rev.Wright is ignorant.

Oh good lord everyone has been through tough times in there life …You don’t get living it though….

Sorry should have said…You don’t keep living in the past…Where does the past get you …No where…You can not change the past but you can change and change the way you live you life….

Why should Obama apologize for his insightfulness into the perceptions of the majority of Americans? It is true — we are bitter (discouraged) — yet hopeful. It is true that when so much is happening in a world without borders that we, Americans, cling “hold onto” {syntax} what is comfortable and what we have fought to earn our rights to: (1) the right to bear arms, (2) freedom to exercise whatever our religion (Christian, Islamic, Protestant, etc) and (3) the right to pursuit of happiness. These things leave us hope knowing that this what our country fought for during the revolution that created this country.
In a world without borders, special interest groups and big businesses have enabled the flight of jobs across borders in search of countries with lesser, if any, environmental, labor, or governmental laws. As a result of this flight, there is no longer a middle-class — only upper and lower classes. The CEOs and businesses of this country earn and keep most of the money — they are not the ones impacted by a war this country should not have entered into or its unfair free trade agreements — it is the lower and middle class that are impacted by this war and the free trade agreements. If free trade agreements were fair, people in China, India, Africa, Thailand — wherever, would be paid a decent wage, their country’s environment would not be devastated by businesses who are not concerned with the impact their businesses have on the environment and these countries governments would not feel compelled to allow these actions just to keep the businesses in their country for the sake of growth. If the agreements were fair and took these issues into consideration, big businesses could not take flight in the manner in which they do. At the very least, businesses who seek to move offshore should be required to contribute to a fund that creates a safety net for those who are impacted — education dollars in particular to ensure the retraining of those impacted by the loss of jobs.
This country no longer invests the way that it should in the education of its people to insure not only the welfare of the people, but the welfare of this country. If it had, even if our jobs moved to China, India, or any other country across borders, our people could move into other sectors of industry to earn a decent wage. Instead, our people are left without training or available funds (unless we borrow with interest) to receive training or a decent education — but yet must manage to live on considerably less and still maintain their homes, buy food, gasoline, and put their children through college. Given the current costs of these endeavors — children must work fulltime to attend college rather than focusing on their studies; we must sell our homes because of wage loss; we must search out Dollar Tree and discount stores to buy food and clothing; or, we must travel in carpools to save on gasoline.
Yes, we cling (embrace) our religion, hold onto guns (stand steady), and do feel discouraged (bitter) of our state. However, though we are not proud of the actions of our country and the perceptions of us in the world, we are still hopeful of change — change that we are hoping that Obama can bring once he wins the election. He should not allow people like Hillary and McCain (they are out of touch) play on the ignorance of the people to undermine his true message — he should drive it home, not apologize for Michelle’s or his statements — they are true and insightful — for EVERYONE affected by our current world drive toward a global economy.

Beka13…And the same go’s for you too…Obama is by far smart or compassionate or has he got a clue…All Obama is after is to be the first black President and at any cost…Hillay is the one that really cares about the American people…

I heard in what Obama said that towns that have lost
jobs that used to provide living wages need new ways
to make living wages. I hope they vote for Obama and
he opens doors to new economic opportunities.

observer….. have you ever heard of tithes, anyone that is a member of a church they pay tithes. We as God fearing people know that God requires that of us.

AMEN BOBJECTIVE AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid is as stupid does. Just another stupid remark?

One thing is clear… there are still some people in this country are still very racist and prejudice…
There is a very thin line between those who are blatant racist and those who wear the hatered just below the skin… Their hatered is on the tips of tounge, and carried in their thoughts…
Many white people have come a long way and buried the racial ignorance… Many of these people have examined their hearts and have realized racial hatered is wrong… Many of these people are voting for Sen. Obama in great numbers… Iowa is a perfect example…
However, there are still a few people that have not overcome the racism that is rooted in the days of slavery and Jim Crow
Sen. Obama is not a GOD… he has transcended racial barriers… his character shines through, he is very credible, he’s not perfect… I’m not voting for him because he’s black… i’m not voting for him because he’s a man… i’m voting for him because he is basically a better human being…
Sen. Clinton has deep rooted character flaws, her character is seriously lacking, most people don’t trust her, she lies, and she leaves a trial of shady dealings… it’s not because she is a woman, it’s not because she is white… it’s because of the type of human being she is…

You know, I get so sick of hearing about Rev Wright. If you guys watch the entire video, not just the GD America part, you’ll soon realize that Wright is right on the money about this country. If I was to rephrase his statement he said “America can go to the devil if her government thinks she’s all supreme.” – I have no problem with that notion and yes Wright is correct contrary to what the media spins that as.

To “Old Man”,
I’m surprised you like McCain’s healthcare strategy… Can you tell me what specific part appeals to you the most?

To the person who said that Clinton and McCain are doing better than the rest of the country, YOU forgot one person Obama is as well.
I just wonder what would have happen if this was a white person who said the comments that he said? The Black people would be all over it, calling that person a racist. Believe me they would find a way.
If it was Senator Clinton who said this or John McCain, I know Obama and his supporters would be all over it! The problem is he got caught, he didn’t think anyone was listening. It just says how he really feels about people.
Now everyone is going to have a pity-party for themselves…get a clue!

What a freaking idiot! Did Davis need the press so bad or did he think his words were in a vacuum. Being from Kentucky original, I know his type; misplaced arrogance covering inadequacy, incompetence and fear.

Can we all stop this nonsense. We need to stop attacking these people. All of these candidates are good people. We all make mistakes and mispoke. That is the human in us. I like McCain, and Obama but Hillary lied about Bosnia three different ocassions. That is unpardonable for me. I cannot simply for her. So , if she wins, she will lie to American people. Obama did not lie but mispoke. McCain is a good man to me but did not think about economic at all. Before I vote for him, He needs to talk more about economic situation that Obama has a lot of passion for.

He is not a boy. He is a snake oil salesman and a flim-flam man. He’s selling a magic elixir and the poor gullible fools are lining up to buy. This is the truth and I have no intention of apologizing, thank you very much.

Enough of all this whinning from the lazy minorities. Time to send them all packing back to their own worthless countries. Let’s have a national bounty paid for every hispanic, black, eastern eruopean, middle eastern turned in for deportation. Bull dose the inner cities into a large ditch and cover it over to get rid of the filth they have made of our great country. Round up and publicy execute all democrat traitors. put our military on the mexican boarder and start moving south killing every man, women and child that doesn’t move further south. Stop when we hit the Panama canal and reclaim it as the American land it was before the democrat traitor Carter illegally gave it away and make that our southern borader. Push everyone off the carribiean islands and colonise them. open all oil fields in the New America and drill off all our coastsand in the arctic. We’d wouldn’t need any more arab oil. Then they could go back to being the sand niggers they were before the rush of oil money. There are no good choices in this election. They are all libral traitors. Time for Whites to stand up and take back our great country and return it to the small goverment Republic founded by the greatest men the world has ever known. Only when the Republic is returned to the White Christen Judeo people will we reclaim our greatness and divine fortune will shine on us.
