James Clyburn to Endorse Barack Obama

The flood gates are about to open—

Next wait for Pelosi, Reid, Carter and I think Gore… Then you know Clinton wins this.
I am actually not sure about Howard Dean, he always had an independent streek in him. I always regret how the Dems failed Dean for Kerry. Let’s not make that mistake again.
Clinton 08!

17 Senate SDs also plan on endorsing Obama wednesday

What takes him so long?
He wants to pretend that he is fair? Like hell he is.
BO is the most unqualified candidate that shall funk all the CEO evaluation but the nomination of democratic party has been rigged up and tailor-made for him.
However, he still will blows himself up before November because everybody will know what an empty suit he is.
He can not hide and act behind podium or pulpit and pretend to be supreme.
Nobama Neverobama

We already knew he already endorsed him long time ago by playing the race card. He pretends to be uncommitted superdelegate.

I’m an Independent and I’ll vote for McCain before I vote for Obama!

I though this was old news.

This guy is a real joke. Play race card again and again and again.

We’re looking at $5/gallon for gas, a crumbling infrastructure, a war that’s bleeding us dry in money, lives and ability to respond to the real threats out there and an economy circling the drain.
And all you have to offer is spiteful whining because you want to take your ball and go home?
No wonder this country is in such sorry shape. 8 years of King George has turned YOU ALL into my way or the highway spoiled children who don’t deserve the rights Americans better than you have fought and died to give you.
Disgraceful.

Well how didn’t expect this. Evrybody new this windbag was in the bag for the guy.
It is sad how you going from I will have all the delegates I need to, please help me limp across the finish line.
This nomination will go down in history with an asterik. The only way he won was to buy it!

CD- it’s not about you huh?
You’ll vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee?
I hardly think I am the one with a maturity problem. Nor am I the selfish one.
Your comments speak for them self.

Didn’t he endorse Obama already? First, he endorsed him, then unendorsed him. I’m a democrat but after this primary season, I may change my allegence to Independent. What I witnessed this past week-end was the last draw. Awarding delegates to “uncommitted” and taking 4 delegates away from Hillary was awful. I don’t care who is president. Republicans should clean up the mess they created. I’m so angry and disillusioned. There will NOT be unity in this election. It has left a very sour taste in my mouth. When the Democrats loose, they will have to understand that they created a system that is flawed. This was a historic primary but like everything else, they failed.

look at all these repubs…
throwing out their talking points… hes… an empty suit, hes limping
lol
wtf are you talking about, his campaign had a brilliant strategy and he out maneuvered the clintons, id suggest you tell ol mcgivemeacane to check his flanks because well be pointing one way while out maneuvering him the other
the clintons are a tough cookie. She was heavily favored to win and had the biggest names in politics behind her
obama out maneuvered her and she almost got him back with her attack ads and dirty politics, but he came back and denied her the chance in indiana and north carolina.
it has been oever since then as the contests weeks ago were decided that hillary would win these and obama these

Louise the RBC was in a situation that Clinton wanted everything and yet agreed before January that Florida and Michigan would NOT count.
Then she played the let every vote count knowing that after agreeing to remove her name in Michigan she left her name on. In her words Michigan and Florida DO NOT count.
The winning Nominee would decide how to seat them after the Primaries. This is by the rules agreed to before January. Hilary thought this would be a mute point since she would win by February 5 and could do what ever was needed.
Hillary has my respect for running a hard fight. She has played a little over the lines at times though.

OK, both of them received about 17 million votes each. In the last election 2004 the winner got 62 million. The last Democrat to win 1996 got 47.4 million. Looks like a lot of work needs to be done before November.

in a primary you never win by the popular vote. That would be the General Election and then you need them spread out over the states to bring you a minimum of 270 electoral votes.

You’re already broke SMRT. Don’t blame the person that’s going to balance your checkbook, blame those who caused you to write bad checks in the first place.
Typical W A. Always blaming others for their own personal woes and previous decisions they made.
Your Daddy Bush put you in this position. Now it’s gonna take Big Daddy Obama to get you out.
That pretty much sums it up.

Are you kidding me?
Who is really surprised that James Clyburn endorsed Obama, since James Clyburn is black!
It would have only been news if a Clyburn endorsed Hillary, since it would have meant that Clyburn really does believe in civil rights and that he doesn’t care what the color of a person’s skin is or what gender he or she is.

An American in Canada for David:
would you feel better if Clyburn were white? It’s hard for you to see past color, huh?
grow up, bud….

Andrea,
That donkey McCain is going to win a race against the political stallion Big Brown Obama?
Buttermilk McCain has the full support of conservatives? Really?
Jews? Really?
Right Wing Snake Kissing Evangelicals? Really?
Lobbyists who supported him when he was flying coach and staying at the motel 6 prior to March? Really?
After Ron Paul and Bob Barr sypon at least 30-35% of the Repugnican vote, counting you Clintonaggie terrorists, he’s gonna look like those fake chickens who claim they’re authentic Foster Farms chickens.
Get Real Sweetie. Whining doesn’t win elections.

Again, completely failed to address the arguments presented. I guess that personal responsibility stuff was just a guise to make people think you weren’t a hardcore lefty, but by ignoring what someone said in order to try to label them you’ve proven what you are.
As far as my cynicism goes, I have plenty of hope, like the HOPE that Obama doesn’t win the presidency. And if keeps on going like he has for the last 3 months, there’s a very good chance of my HOPE coming true.

“The glory of this land has been its capacity for transcending the moral evils of our past. For example, the long struggle of minority citizens for equal rights, once a source of disunity and civil war, is now a point of pride for all Americans. We must never go back. There is no room for racism, anti-Semitism, or other forms of ethnic and racial hatred in this country.”
quote by Ronald Reagan
Come on people stop all this back and forth hatred. Our country is in trouble we all need to work together.

He never said 100 year war, and several news outlets have called the DNC out as flat out liars for spreading that crap. He said he can see a military presence in Iraq for 100 years, just as we’ve had a military presence in Japan and Germany since WW2, and in South Korea since the Korean war. In the very same breath, McCain said that this presence would be conditioned on American troops not taking casualties. Now that you’ve been provided the accurate statement, you should Google the definition of the term “war”. As far as Iran is concerned, they’re a huge problem that every administration since Carter has tried to address, and failed. We’ve talked to them, we’ve tried to normalize relations, we’ve tried to bribe them to give up their nuclear program, etc. They’ll never talk to us with the goal of reaching a resolution, and they’ve said as much. So, what’s there to talk about? Whether or not we’ll abandon the middle east and let Iran try to exterminate the Jews in Israel? Sounds like a winning foreign policy! (sarcasm)

LOL,..FUN-E!Blame Bush!..lol..
wait,IF ELECTED!?..ring any bells?
thats what the Dem’s said two
years ago about the gas prices at
that time $2.69! The Dems have
not accomplished one thing,NOT
ONE! And now you people want to
elect empty suit obama? HE also
has not accomplished ONE thing.
But wants to reverse the border
fence,raise taxes,give the world
(NOT AMERICA)$385BILLION American
Tax dollars.and make us Nuke FREE!
obama wants America to be sitting
ducks!If mr O wins, you get what
you voted for!..REMEMBER THAT!!

As if something new. The stupid old guy supports one of his own – what’s there to talk about it.
McCain 08

Is the Obama Campaign Racist?
Did we forget that McCain voted against the Martin Luther King Memorial Holiday and his state was the “last” to adopt it in the entire union !!!
Not to mention the Clinton’s off-handed remarks about blacks, Obama and even whites to win votes…
Its not a matter of Obama was at that Church for 20 or 100 years !!! There is some form of racism in “every institution, everywhere” !!! If he had left that Church, I’m “sure” he could have found racism in the next one !!!
Obama knows this, and was “the first” to come out in this election process to promote that we “come together in this country as Americans”… and work to promote the abandonment of racist attitudes !!! Also the first to promote the idea of “change”… “then” Hillary and McCain decided to use the term themselves after they saw it was working !!!!

I really don’t care who James Clyburn endorses, he only has one vote just like me and I do not endorse Obama who has friends like Rev Wright & Rev Pfleger and has liberated Auschwitz.

The DNC superdelegates remind me of Obama’s church when they pounce up and down.

SD’s have to end this NOW! It’s time to target McCain!

How can anyone support a racist like Obama and the hatefilled people he is known to hang with? Imagine if McCain said he attended church for 20 years and said he really did not hear the white supreamist preacher say anything about race from the pulpit. DO THE DEMOCRATS THINK WE ARE GULLABLE FOOLS?

Apparently there is another bomb shell coming —– Ms Obama’s recent “Whitey”
comment’s. It’s supposed to hit this week. If it’s true, I guess living in the White House is out of the question.
What’s a politically correct color for it to be painted?

ZZ -
There is no “whitey” video. Obama haters have been claiming that for days, and they obviously have nothing to show for it. It is just a viscious attempt at character assasination.

to maggie and frisco,
You constantly claim that Obama listened to a racist preacher, tell me is every one who opposed the civil rights movement to be held accountable, those were destestable times for our nation. What about Mc Cains opposition to MLK day? Does that make him racist? What about the many people in all of our lives who make a racist comment, and if you are honest you didnt disown them. The entire concept that Obama is responsible for the foolish words of anyone other than his own is a witch Hunt. The sad truth is, is that no matter what there are some people who will not vote for Obama because he appears to be black. Who determines what race he is any way? Isn’t his mother white and his father African: So How did he end up black. Oh, Plessy vs. Ferguson, read up on it. We are so busy identifying the differences in each other we can never reap the benefits of the similarities. This is a sad truth across all spectrums. Some blacks are to light to be accepted by others, some whites are to poor to be accepted by others, and some immigrants to old country to be accepted by the assimilated. Racism is the greatest cancer this nation has ever had, it is what shadows its greatness, in reality no one is truly free from its venomous bite. Walk down the street in the ghettos of chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Harlem, and Atlanta. Lets see how racism free you are, how non judgemental you are, how we are the world you are.
signed,
Dont hate, Congratulate

Am so amazed how republicans scared of a whitewash in the GE are pretending to be democrats and Clinton supporters. Clinton and Obama never had your vote right from the start and they won’t get your vote in the GE. McCain will need your vote so spare us the vitriol and go home to Ma-cain. Like Cain of the bible who killed his brother Ma-Cain is been fighting to be President so he can revenge his capture. So get your sons and daughters ready to die in their prime for Ma-Cain’s personal vandetta.
remind’s me of a chicken factory.

This race started fairly well, you don’t change the rules in the middle of any game or sport and then cry foul play that is just so crazy but only in America.

When your Children starts coming home in flag draped body bags because of Ma-Cain’s payback somebody policy!!.
Remember you were warned!!
the only crime my son’s committed is to love this country too much so they enlisted to protect the country they love. God has been good to us so 2 of my sons are coming home in July and the last will come next year. But the truth is not many fathers, mothers, brothers, wives,sisters can claim to be that fortunate. So think before you post!!

Obama gave Hillary a free ride since March-he has not attacked her. He gave her a ‘place in the spotlight to make her curtain calls’. To use a sports metaphor, why ‘run up the score in the last quarter’. The victory was his- so in favor of party unity why should he just destroy her? He instead went after McCain…
To many Clinton supporters this was a ‘weakness’ on Obama’s part.In fact it points out his strength. If you have the upper hand why rattle sabres?
Now that this primary season is ending, we, the Democrats, need to come together. With 35+ million voters who voted Dem. that is an awesome number…with it WE the Americans can take back America from the big buck interests who have hung us out to dry.
Enough- no more hatred in the blogs/posts. Starting tomorrow WE ARE THE DEMOCRATS. CHANGE WE ALL CAN BELIEVE IN-YES “WE” CAN…

Obama get ready to move to 1600 Pennsyvania!!!

Funny how those who keep saying Clyburn already endorsed earlier seem to be confusing him with John Lewis. Do you think all black politicians look alike?

It makes me sick to see Super Delegates being so byist. It really doesn’t matter to the Dem’s that Hillary has the popular vote, they are going to try and get their pupet in there no matter what the cost. Party of the people my A@%^! This is what Social Elitism is all about. They don’t care about the people of this country: they only care about their own corrupt agenda, all the while pointing that finger at Hillary Clinton. I am so sick of this party, they are not the party they once were. If they get away with this and Nominate Barac Obama, I will never vote Democratic again!

If Hillary is not the nominee, McCain wins in November.
When McCain is in the inauguration ceremony, voters should then drag Pelosi on to the street and get her out of the Congress for ever.
She is a MAJOR contributor to Democratic loss in Nov.
Pelosi is good for NOTHING.

I see some people threaten here, “I will vote for Mccain if Hillary does not get it”. Pls hurt yourself and hope I feel the pain.
Does Mccain not sound too grumpy and sturbornly war-like without commonsense? Over 4000 American soldiers have died for a lie. 10′s of thousands of Iraqis and this man still talks like a fool. I hear him call Obama naive. In the most important decision of his life, his wisdom failed him.

November cant come fast enough
McCain 08

Hey Old white guy, you think Obama gave Hillary a break for a couple of months lol, ya but his church hasnt and his aides havent and I have never never heard so much hatred by his supporters, Its just disgraceful how she has been mocked out, not because of her politics but because she is a women, down to what she wears, how she looks. god forbid though a couple of months ago when a 6 year old girl said Obama looked liked curious George, boy did people get insulted said it was a racist remark, this women has been bad talked by his supports for months, and that alone I will vote for McCain if and when she gets out of the race, I will do everything I can to campain so that Obama doesnt get it…I will celebrate the day after the ge when that man loses, He was a knowbody before and he will be a knowbody again!!

15 Fifteen 15 FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS.
thats how much his church got in US Government Grants.

OBAMA IS DUMBER THAN BUSH. Just look at some of Obama’s gaffes and lies:
Obama claimed that his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz in Germany. Problem is Auschwitz is in Poland and the Soviet Union liberated it, not the US. Or Obama’s statement that America has 57 States or his Memorial Day Speech in New Mexico where he indicated that America’s “fallen heroes” were in the audience listening to him speak. Obama has also distorted his family history when he claimed that his birth was inspired by events that took place four years after he was born. On a handwriting questionnaire he claimed that someone else filled out the questionnaire on his opposition to gun rights until he had to fess up when someone proved that it was Obama’s own handwriting on the questionnaire. In Orlando Florida, Obama said he would meet with Hugo Chavez, who supports FARC, unconditionally. Than the next day Obama stated that any Nation who supported FARC guerrillas should be subjected to “regional isolation”. When Obama came under fire for stating he would meet unconditionally with the leaders of Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Syria in defense, Obama claimed that JFK’s 1961 summit meeting with Khrushchev led the the end of the Cold War. Just the opposite, JFK admitted that the meeting with Khrushchev made the US look weak and two months later the Berlin wall was built and stood for 28 years. Obama’s lies and ignorance of World history is stunning. If President Bush had made similar gaffes the main stream media would be all over it twenty-four/seven. The question is why is the mainstream media giving Obama a pass? The public has a right to know about the fact Obama is pretty ignorant of world history and has a track record of lies and gaffes when not in front of a teleprompter.</

Give Al Qaeda a chance. Vote Obama

IF YOU WANT MORE WAR AND DEATH, VOTE FOR OBAMA. The facts on the ground now in Iraq is that the surge has been successful and the US is winning the war in Iraq. That is why Obama’s plan of pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory in Iraq is so idiotic. Al Qaeda is on the run in Iraq but if the USA retreats and turns Iraq over to them, Al Qaeda will have access to Iraq’s large oil reserves and thus the means and opportunity to attack us and attack us hard. Our Middle Eastern allies will have no reason to trust our word and abandon us. Not to mention the boost a withdrawal from Iraq will give to Iran, Syria and Hamas. Think WWIII, If Obama is elected his defeatist policies will put us all at more risk of another 9/11 attack and even worse the blow up the middle east which will mean more will die, just like what happened in WWII when people thought Hitler could be appeased and were wrong, very wrong. Whats more, the killing fields of cambodia could be played out again in Iraq by Al Qaeda, Only this time the people murdered could be the very people that risked their lives to support the US. Question, if Obama wins,can you sleep well at night if you get what you want and this happens? I hope not.
P.S. If Obama had got his way and Saddam was still in power the West would be dealing with TWO major middle eastern powers on the brink or already in possession of nuclear weapons thumbing their nose at the US.

OBAMA WILL DESTROY THE US ECONOMY AND MAKE THINGS WORSE NOT BETTER, FAR WORSE.
Government is not the benevolent force that delusional Obamaites believe it is. Quite the contrary, government uses the force of law to seize money and property from the workers and uses it to feather the beds of a bunch of self serving bureaucrats and politicians. Little if anything is trickled back down to the people. In fact what’s left over, if anything, typically goes to a bunch of corrupt hanger ons and sycophants like Rezco. Obama’s Marxist friends and associates hate the free market and want to replace it with the all powerful force of the State. Problem is the track record of Marxist style run governments are not so good. Just look at the loss of freedom and millions of lives that were lost in an effort to create a “Utopian State” in the Soviet Union, Cuba, China and North Korea. The dead hand of a Marxist style government (that Obama’s friends believe in) is anything but benevolent. I ask you to listen closely to Obama and if you do, you will hear the echo of his friends Marxist beliefs in Obama’s flowery speeches. Don’t buy into it.

REALLY – a BLACK guy supporting a BLACK candidate?????? News Flash – think he did this months ago!
Obama has divided our party – beyond repair, he will never be elected due to his Racist, Radical associates that just keep coming. Obama is a FRAUD with his dirty political Chicago style tricks. He is NOT the Unity guy – Far from it – thik he has proven that!
The MILLIONS of Hillary supporters will NEVER vote for obama – he is a WEAK candidate, NOT Qualified and is a FRAUD!

Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!! , You must be into being slaves to the State, corruption and weakening America for another 9/11 attack, that’s what Obama’s friends are for and so is he.

Its funny how Obama supporters think If we dont support him we must be racist, Yet I believe its Obama and all his close allies that are racist, His wife wasnt as proud to be a american until her husband ran for pres, His pastor, he only gets 15 million from us Damn Americans for the last 15 years, Did you see the catholic priest that has been Obama’s friend for 20 years mocking out Hillary and all the people at the church clapping him on to what he was saying about Hillary, I feeling alot of racism in that room. to me the racism started with Obama, and once he loses in November I hope its gone again.

BE COLOR BLIND—-AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY UNDER THE REPUB. ADMIN. WE ARE VOTING ISSUES NOT SKIN COLOR AMERICA. ISSUES HELLO

Clyburn wow I thought he was for Clinton. Mr bias for Obama since February. Obama’s camp has been counting his vote since January. Wake up we need a ticket here, if not kiss this election goobye. We need her to win this thing, lets hope like hell she says yes even after the BS she had to take. Hillary is strong as steal, the kind of President we need, I think John Edwards got it right. Hillary just sit back and watch them kiss up to you. You have what they need. Clintons rule. 08

DEAR FELLOW DEMOCRATS;
THE BAD REPUBLICANS ARE FLOATING AROUND TO DIVIDE AND CONKER……. DON’T FALL FOR THERE TRICKS……. THEY TRICKED US INTO A WAR THAT HAS CAUSED US THOUSANDS OF OUR BEST AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN…….. LETS PUT AN END TO THIS bull crap AND UNITE NOW…….. IN ANY RACE WE HAVE A WINNER AND A LOSER. BUT DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE SAME TEAM…….HELLO…..JUST THINK OF THE OLYMPICS RACE WHERE TWO OR MORE OF THE US RUNNERS ARE IN THE SAME RACE, WE DONT CARE WHICH ONE WINS AS LONG AS IT IS AMERICA THAT WINS.
they are really after the hillary supporters because john mcsame needs help. Just look at the mess the republ. have put us in. economy,housing,markets,poorly handled wars. want more of the same vote for mccain.

kerry
last time I check the presidential admin. was repub. (veto hello)

THE REPUBLICANS ARE USING DIVIDE AND CONQUER AGAINST US !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FELLOW DEMOCRATS WE “MUST” FIND A WAY TO UNITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE USING THE “CRIPS AND BLOODS” METHODS AGAINST US…. THEY ARE STANDING BACK AND LETTING US DESTROY OURSELVES!!!!!
WE ARE ACTING LIKE THUGS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW WE ARE BETTER/SMARTER THAN THE “CRIPS AND BLOODS” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. USA, Thanks for admitting that it was the Democrats that wanted loans to people who could not afford them more easy. As to a veto, so what, it was a Democratic proposal, not a GOP, and there will be more bone headed typed proposals in store for us if Obama and his ilk wins, which makes my point, Obama and his corrupt buddies like Rezco will take all the money from the people and destroy the economy.

what does what church you go to have to do with anything. … or maybe it does because some of the past presidents before slavery ended went to churches that hung black people in the back yard of there church.

Posted by: Levi | Jun 2, 2008 10:50:30 PM
They know, but they will do it anyway. Call it the “willful suspension of disbelief”. “Yes, they will” destroy the party, after all none of them need Roe vs Wade anymore, they have retired with 75 to 100 percent benefits, and they won’t live long enough to be REALLY affected by McCain’s policies. And, damn any children or grandchildren they may have to save face.

Mr. USA, President Bush did not lie about the reasons behind the war in Iraq. Every intelligence agency in the world believed Saddam was in possession of WMDs. In fact, documents obtained from Saddam’s files after the war show that Saddam was lying to his own Generals about WMDs. Another fact obtained from Saddam’s files is that Saddam had every intention of restarting his WMD program as he did not think the US would invade him. So if Obama had got his way and the US did not invade Iraq, the US and the West would be dealing with both Iraq and Iran close to having Nukes or already in possession of Nukes. On top of that, Al Qaeda could very well have established bases in Iraq as Saddam was starting to get pretty cozy with them. What a mess.

what does what church you go to have to do with anything. … or maybe it does because some of the past presidents before slavery ended went to churches that hung black people in the back yard of there church.

Ok terry,
what about this economy, gas prices, etc etc etc What about america. I know you can not see under his skin (GB) but it is red. he is a screw up. john would be more of the same.

The mainstream media as usual is covering up the real story about Obama’s resignation from the Trinity Church he belonged to for twenty years. The real story is the fact that Obama stated: “it’s not a church worthy of denouncing:” Obama “I’m not denouncing the church and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church,”
Since Obama has made it clear he is “not denouncing the church” the question becomes does Obama thus agree with the below Black Liberation Theology teachings of his former church? Per the founder of black liberation theology James Cone: “Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love”. This is the self-proclaimed basis of Rev. Wright’s beliefs and his churches teachings which Obama refuses to denounce. The media is not doing its job by not reporting the fact that Obama is refusing to denounce his church and not asking Obama if the reason he is not denouncing his church is due to the fact Obama believes in the Black Liberation Theology teachings of his former church.

Some past presidents may or may not have belong to racist churches but this is 2008. You would think that after a Civil War, Civil Rights Movement, Women’s right movement, Gay Rights Movement, and other movements, we’ve all evolved, including the place presidential candidates seek spiritual advice,comfort and sanctuary.

This is a dumb ass f.cker!

Mr. USA, The high gas prices are also the fault of the Democrats. President Bush has been trying for years to get the Democrats to let oil companies drill for more oil here on our own soil and build new refineries. If this had been done eight years ago (as President Bush wanted) the US would not be experiencing the high gas prices we are now and would be much less dependent on Middle Eastern oil.
If Obama gets elected our energy crises will get even worse. Obama is for placing even more restrictions on energy production. Obama is trying to con the public into believing there is some type of magic bullet out there that will replace oil when there is none. Obama is using Global Warming fear tactics to justify higher taxes. As Obama stated “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.

so let me get this right no matter what someone say to you. You are not going to vote for a black man. Right

To be frank, Reverends, preachers and priests should not make political comments in their churches, separaton of church and state. That applies to Hagee,Robertson, Wright, Fledger and any other. The use of Religion is just making matters worse and these religious leaders know they hold some influence among their flock.

evie
I agree with you on that issue.

Posted by: Terry | Jun 2, 2008 11:24:22 PM
YES!!! Let them drill for US oil and sell it to China and India. Smart. It may bring down the price per gallon by .05 (until China and India’s demand outpace the supply). You are for free markets, right? They can still sell on the global market, right? You know, it’s the speculators that set the price(as oppose to say, the US government, certainly not the executive branch), right? So, what are you going to do, the oil drilled in the US (oh, gas companies say they DON’T believe they should invest in new refineries to process the crude) should only be SOLD in the US? What happen to the free markets? This is a nuts in a vice senario and no President can unring the bell.

Believe me Mr. USA, women were also burned as witches by the thousands by the same type of religious zealots. That is a part of our history that is shoved under the rug. I have little confidence in any of them.

Rita, Have you not heard of supply and demand? The higher the supply the lower the prices. More oil in the marketplace no matter what its source leads to lower prices. Also, think about the shipping issues including the environmental damage oil spills have done to the environment. Thus all around it would be better if the US could take advantage of the oil here at home.

Posted by: Terry | Jun 2, 2008 11:40:58 PM
I was being sarcastic. If the oil in Alaska is now being sold to Japan. Who makes the oil companies ONLY sell it in America? If, this is a capitalistic society, how do you prohibit the oil companies from selling it to other nations? The new economies in China and India will ensure that demand outpaces supply. So, your statement, “The higher the supply the lower the prices” will not be sustainable.

evie
…people go to church for godly spiritial help some times other things come up while they are there. Not one person talking about trinity went there 19 years ago and know what was being said back than. this is an excuse that people use to hide behind there racism.(oh he went to that church for twenty years he a bad guy) when thaey was not there and know nothing about what went on there. But I know what did not go on there (HANGINGS)

THE BAD DEMOCRATS ARE FLOATING AROUND TRYING TO DIVIDE AMERICA. JUST LOOK AT THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. ITS BLACKS AGAINST WOMEN. BLACKS AGAINST WHITES. YOUNG AGAINST OLD. DEMOCRATS DIVIDE PEOPLE. DEMOCRATS COUNT DELEGATES AS ONLY HALF VOTES IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN. DEMOCRATS CAN’T EVEN RUN THEIR OWN PARTY NOMINATION PROCESS IN A FAIR WAY. WHAT A MESS. AMERICA LOSES BIG TIME IF DEMOCRATS TAKE OVER THE NATION THERE WILL BE HIGHER TAXES, MORE FACELESS SELF SERVING GOVERNMENT WORKERS TELLING YOU WHAT TO DRIVE, HOW MUCH FOOD YOU CAN EAT, AND WHAT TEMP TO SET YOUR THERMOSTAT AT AND MORE CORRUPTION LIKE WE SAW IF CHICAGO WITH OBAMA’S BUDDY REZCO.

No, the point is that relgious leaders have not evolved either in racism or gender bias. No, I don’t agree one has to aplogize for anything they never took part of personally, nor do I go about persoally attacking anyone on these blogs. I do think that voicing my opinion on politicians and public figures is fair game!

Posted by: Michael | Jun 2, 2008 11:51:38 PM
He is apparently an EXCELLENT candidate because with all of your points, he is still winning in the pledge delegates, the superdelegates and the popular vote(if you ignore the fact that caucus states shouldn’t count).

For Obama to have no experience, to come out of nowhere. He beat Hillary and has raised more money (and ahead in the polls) over McBush. I would hate to see how “effective” he would be once he has been in the white house for “just a few months”
in his case !!!!!

Mr. USA, I see where you’re coming from and thats a start.

Didn’t the Saudi prince tell Bush last month that they would not increase output because “the price is high due to the weak US dollar, not supply”?

Everyone can say what they want about Obama, but he has not lost a political battle he has ever waged !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he (i.e., the Democrats) will win in November. The Republicans know Hillary’s political tactics, but they dont know Obamas. They “really” dont know what to do against him or whats up his sleeve !!!!!!!
You can see Hillary’s and the Republican’s
tactics a mile away !!!!! The same old B.S. !!!!! Obama is the future !!!!!

Levi, again some very powerful and rich lefties are pulling Obama’s strings. They do not like Hillary, nor the USA for that matter, which should make anyone who supports Obama very uncomfortable, unless you Obama supporters are as anti-American as a lot of Obama’s friends are.

If you don’t have an increase in refineries, then there is still a bottleneck. Refineries apparently can’t run year-run. And, as I have read, the oil companies decided not to build new refineries when Bush brough out the corn/switchgrass ethanol option last year. You know, with corn, the “we gotta eat some of it” quote. So, gas will continue to go up and food prices are rising because alot farmer is switching to corn for the subsidies and that depletes wheat, grain and dairy production.

Obama has said his spiritual advisers include Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger who are apostles of black liberation theology. Most people view black liberation theology as a racist creed. That is why some people think Obama is a racist.

I agree with you ORLANDO. If Hillary’s supporters allow McCain to win… The Clinton’s career is OVER !!!!!!!!

I’m sick when all the pundits say Hillary will start campaigning for him.
You hope, yeah!

OBAMA IS DUMBER THAN BUSH. Just look at some of Obama’s gaffes and lies:
Obama claimed that his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz in Germany. Problem is Auschwitz is in Poland and the Soviet Union liberated it, not the US. Or Obama’s statement that America has 57 States or his Memorial Day Speech in New Mexico where he indicated that America’s “fallen heroes” were in the audience listening to him speak. Obama has also distorted his family history when he claimed that his birth was inspired by events that took place four years after he was born. On a handwriting questionnaire he claimed that someone else filled out the questionnaire on his opposition to gun rights until he had to fess up when someone proved that it was Obama’s own handwriting on the questionnaire. In Orlando Florida, Obama said he would meet with Hugo Chavez, who supports FARC, unconditionally. Than the next day Obama stated that any Nation who supported FARC guerrillas should be subjected to “regional isolation”. When Obama came under fire for stating he would meet unconditionally with the leaders of Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Syria in defense, Obama claimed that JFK’s 1961 summit meeting with Khrushchev led the the end of the Cold War. Just the opposite, JFK admitted that the meeting with Khrushchev made the US look weak and two months later the Berlin wall was built and stood for 28 years. Obama’s lies and ignorance of World history is stunning. If President Bush had made similar gaffes the main stream media would be all over it twenty-four/seven. The question is why is the mainstream media giving Obama a pass? The public has a right to know about the fact Obama is pretty ignorant of world history and has a track record of lies and gaffes when not in front of a teleprompter

…people go to church for godly spiritial help some times other things come up while they are there. Not one person talking about trinity went there 19 years ago and know what was being said back than. this is an excuse that people use to hide behind there racism.(oh he went to that church for twenty years he a bad guy) when thaey was not there and know nothing about what went on there. But I know what did not go on there (HANGINGS)

His supporters don’t need to know him because his slogan sign only say “Change” without his name on it.

change you can believe in

If the tape about Michelle come out, I wonder if Obama would throw her under the bus just like he did to others?

I will bet that 90% of the John McCain supporters have never taken the time listen to Barack Obama (1.) Because hes Democrat (2.) Because he is a black man. You figure out the rest more George Bush.

I have no respect for senator clyburn. This piece of garbage hounded bill and hillary clinton since day one. While remains conviently ‘neutral’ .
Now , he cant even wait until tomorrow, he has to SPOUT OFF HIS MOUTH because his GIANT EGO needs to make one last headline.
This guy can go to hell . He isnt going anywhere else.

Obama is a rascist for attending his church just like all catholics are child molesters………… and by the way, I voted for Hillary

The democratic nomination process is the biggest bunch of bs I have experienced since the US Supreme Court hijacked the presidential election 4 yrs ago. The people’s vote is basically ignored whereas a bunch of ‘superdelegates’ decide their nominee. Why even have a primary season? This year, the media and a bunch of flakey members of congress perverted the process. Well, this democrat is leaving the party for good and will tender my vote to McCain as a repudiation of their party. You can count on it.

This election will go down as the first Affirmative Action presidential candidate to lose.

All this time, James Clyburn sat back acting like he had not made a decision on endorsing Obama.
He is just looking for his “15 Minutes of Fame”.
Seems like everyone who wants to finally be somebody, comes out and make their solo announcement. Whippee!
Like I said, he just wants to be recognized!!!

You know it truly is amazing that so many people care about race and racism all of a sudden.Boy the Hillary supporters are HOT TODAY,they’re calling names making insults towards people, cursing. I think they all need to read the comment Nat Turner made at 6:16,say it again Nat Turner.Mr.USA thank you for your comment.I read the comments from Hillary supporters that say they will vote for Mccain in Nov,they say it like they are hurting Obama,well they really are but most of all they will be hurting the American people of Good Ol AMerica.Some of you had a fit when Rev.Wright made his comment about your Good Ol America but you’ll go to the polls and vote for a candidate that doesn’t have any issues to put this country back in a positive direction.So go right ahead and vote for Mccain,you’ll be hurting yourself also.

The Reagan democrats and indpendents are doing what is best for their country, voting for McCain.

With Barack Obama as the democratic nominee, race will be front and center in determining our next president. You will not be able to hide your racial feelings in the closet anymore. If you are a white Obama supporter, good for you. You obviously are able to see past the color of his skin and feel a real connection to his message. We should all be so lucky. I am addressing my fellow white countrymen/women who are card carrying democrats who choose to turn their backs on their party because their candidate is not the nominee. I have heard too many lame excuses as to why you will not support Obama…from ‘he’s too inexperienced, he’s a radical, racist or shady, or he’s not patriotic or he’s a Muslim’. This are simply lame excuses to disguise your real reason for not voting as you HAVE ALWAYS VOTED, the truth is he’s black! If you truly think that our country needs a new direction or change, if you think our current foreign policies, economic, educational and social systems are in shambles, then how can you as a TRUE DEMOCRAT justifiably spurn Sen. Obama’s message of change? It’s rather interesting how my fellow white Americans cringe with the subject of race in America is broached and many want to deny that racial issues still exist altogether. You cannot deny what is undeniable. Race will always be an issue in America but it does not have to be an issue in this election. Our country is more diverse than every before and what better time could there be to elect a president that TRULY can relate to ALL Americans, the minorities and the majorities of this country. Again, if you’re a HRC supporter and you don’t support your democratic nominee whose policies are virtually identical to those of Hillary Clinton, ask yourself why? Is it the color of his skin? Vote for Change, vote Obama’08!

cgeast, my post was directed to HRC supporters, no one else. Side by side Obama and Clinton policies are identical. If you vote for one you can surely vote for the other. Read thoroughly before you inject your comments into someone else’s post.

Matter of fact, its been PROVEN that if Gore and Kerry carried as much of the AA vote as Clinton they would have won.

I’ve been sitting on pins and needles wondering who Clyburn would endorse.
Now if I could just figure out who Donna Brazile will endorse.
They are not fooling anyone by waiting.
The DNC and superdelegate concept is a joke.
Hillary08/2012 or McCain08

The problem isn’t policies. The problem is trust. We trust Senator Clinton’s judgement and experience. We do not either Senator Obama’s judgement or experience. He spent 20 years in a far, far left cabal in Chicago with Wright, Phagler, Ayers, Dohrn etc. He supports their causes personally and with tax payer money. We are appalled. We do not trust him to have the best interests of the US at heart. He can make all the speeches he wants to make. We do not trust him. We will not vote for him. We disagree, respectfully, with Senator McCain on the issues. However, he is a true American hero and he will have the best interests of the US at heart.

Who cares about Clyburn…same feather flocks together!!!!

Obama is the nominee, stop crying hillary supporters get behind the candidate hillary WILL endorse before the end of this. OBAMA 08, stand united against policies we all would like to see changed in the white house.
