Gingrich Responds to Obama's Race Speech

@ Danny

Racist?

Obama has given me zero solutions and he is half black.

Hillary has given me solutions and she's a woman.

Solutions outweigh zero solutions.

Are you sexist, Danny?

Guys, I smell racist views here. No body talked about issues. What you all talk about is OBAMA the CHANGE man.

Bobby,
It's good to see somebody thinking about ways to solve the Florida/Michigan debacle. As far as I can tell Hillary Clinton has been the only candidate to speak out in favor of resolving this. Dean certainly doesn't look like he's doing his job.

I'd like to add another proposal to your list.

We can have the state level Democratic elected legislative politicians participate in a re-vote, selecting either Hillary or Obama or uncommitted or write-in, and then proportionately award the delegates accordingly. The superdelegates remain unchanged.

At least we would get some representation that is Democratic, and statewide, as opposed to disenfranchisement.

@ Danny

No.

He took his name off the ballot because he didn't have a chance in Michigan.

and in Florida his name was on the ballot and one of his commercials WAS airing.

to Surelock Homes
don't u think obana fellow the DNC rules

@ Surelock Homes

You think Obama or anyone in the tank for Obama would listen to anything to do with Florida and Michigan?

Bobby -- you're ideas should be aimed at Obama. Not us.

He's the reason there are no re-votes. He knows he's toast if those rich Florida votes are counted.

There is not a white america and a black america, there is just one america, but obama chooses to associate himself with a seperatist church and pastor. I do not take money from special interst groups or oil companies, but he has taken hundreds of thousands from oil co's and the nuclear co he claims he paseed a bill regulating mandatory reporting of problems, when the only change he made was noo change- voluntary reporting. I am not a typical politician, but he stopped a michigan revote because it might lead him to losing the popular vote, and his campaign is constantly feeding the compliant media negative attacks against Hillary Clinton, and now trying to force her out of the race because he wants the game to end while he is ahead. Talk about Tanya Harding, he is the won trying to knock her out of the competition. I will reach across the aisle with republicans, but his record does not show that and he was voted the most liberal senator in the senate. Is this a new kind of politician, change we can believe in? I think not. His words say one thing, but his actions say another. In fact it is reminiscent of another politician, Bush the uniter, not divider, who would reach across the aisle, and we saw the influence of his radical religious beliefs in his governing. Have we not learned better?

@ Sandy

Obama/Clinton can win, but Obama is inexperienced and the media has decided to be anti-hillary.

Of course Gingrich is promoting Obama. Without Obama, the Republicans do not stand a chance in November. They want Obama to become the nominee. Anyone who does not see that deserves another 4 yars of Republican rule. It is as simple as that. Folks, wake up and smell the roses before it is too late.

Wright fetish? I see. There needs to be one standard for judging religion in the lives of our candidates. Either Hillary Clinton and John McCain need to be brought up to this standard of scrutiny, or the subject must be dropped. I've seen no endless looping or loopy revisiting of controversial comments by Rod Parley, John Hagee, Tim ($$$) LaHaye, or Douglas Coe. So the standard is not the same. Put another way, I don't see why you still hear "Brown Sugar" or "Some Girls" by the Rolling Stones, or "Island Girl" by Elton John on the radio. Listen a little closer - you may not hear what I hear in those moneymakers.

McCain doesn't have a twenty year relationship with HAGEE like Obama does with WRIGHT!

Rev. Wright, Black Panthers, Tony Rezko,= Obama 2008!!

Kravitz,

What did Gingrich say about Bosnia?

Do you have your on discussion going here? Or are you merely trying to deflect attention from Obama and Wright?

did anyone on here listen to newt gingrich's speech...instead of just trashing obama

Newt (yes Newt Gingrich...that very smart republican)...gives kudos to obama and actually delves in to the solutions for the issues of poverty and race...

He agrees with much of Obama on specifics and disagrees on how to help... ...it is the solutions he wants to discuss and offers to work with him in this speech..

and you wonder why Obama is who we need as a President...when has Gingrich and Sen Clinton had an open debate on poverty ...when have you seen the two sides unite on a specific need in discussion ...
yes he disses much of the left...but he says in so many words Sen Obama nobly has opened this discussion...and engages him ...in a civil and constructive manner...

You want to know why we are where we are... it's because for 15 years we have not had that.

Better for all facts to come out now, than later. If there is more, it will come out and the Repulicans will be the ones to "bring it"! Anyone who does not recognize that the Rs always play full contact politics has their head in the sand!

And, contrary to an earlier poster attempting to lay a guilt trip on those who oppose Obama and Wright.

Wright "cast the first stone", while preaching in what has become a "glass church"!

Wright damned America, I won't.

Wright preached hate from a pulpit, I haven't.

Wright shouted profane and vulgar utterances from his pulpit. I didn't.

Obama sat through all of this for more than 20 years. I wouldn't!

Obama -- adding insult to injury:

Had the Reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church," Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show "The View." The interview will be broadcast today. Obama said Wednesday he has spoken with Wright, who retired from Trinity United Church of Christ last month but remains as a senior pastor.

(The snake keeps slithering)

@ Irma

The saddest is part is....Barack Obama exaggerated about his COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ROLE and he has never represented the United States in another country.

I am interested in anyones opinion re Wright and/or Wrong. We leave the issue alone, uninvestigated to the fullest depths, at our own peril. Like a tumor, saying it is "benign" without a complete "biopsy" is ridiculous.

Wright does not come close to representing the views of the vast majority of African-Americans. But, he does apparently represent those of the Obama's, despite the denials. 20 years is full refutation to the denials. Separatists are just that. Dividers, any way you cut it. And are totally opposite to "uniters". Words do matter!

Are people actually comparing Hillary's story of going to warzone Bosnia, where maybe she didn't need to duck her head, to the story about Obama and not knowing his mentor was a racist? Hmmmm...Hillary didn't have to duck her head in a war zone vs. Obama's mentor is a racist........I rather have the lady who didn't have to duck her head over the inner racist who masks his true feelings against his grandma well.
