"Don't all campaigns want diversity shots. Why is that news?" ........... Because O'boy claims he is "CHANGE". ..... He is not really change now is he?

I seem to recall some of the early McCain press conferences after being chosen as the republican nominee that looked like
a casting call for Depends. One or two mentions on the cable news shows, and voila, the next time he was trotted out it looked like the Young Republicans convention had gathered around him.

How can you over look all the lies of hillary clinton. how can we trust her to run the country when hill and bill are taking money from columbia. take off your blinders people.

The most annoying thing about this being, of course, that event coordinators aren't hand-picked by candidates. I have been to one of these things - they deal with any number of guests/clients, and they mainly worry about how well the event goes for their own purposes.

Fact in point - I went to an event that was coordinated separately from the person I went there to see (a somewhat-family musician.) Because it was a popular enough musician, my friend and I - two very "normal joe" type people - were moved further back from the stage. Even though we'd gotten in on guest passes, the event coordinators immediately replaced us with a group of gorgeous females all along the front row.

Keep in mind that this musician got me the guest passes in question. When I later joked/asked about the shuffling around, he said rather frankly that he doesn't have anything to do with it. Seating arrangements are the province of the venue or of the company organizing the event. It's all PR+event coordinators who decide "what looks best." And they will, in fact, move people around to best project what they feel the event needs. I happen to know this musician would've rather had my friend and I up in the front row, and expected at least to be able to see us from where he sat.

As the event coordinators that Hillary Clinton is currently stiffing for unpaid services can tell you, they have enough autonomy to decide how the audiences look. Consider it very irresponsible to try to pin this on the Obama campaign, instead of on the event coordinators.

It's all politics. No harm done...greg

It's all a BIG SHOW. The college crowd will never get it until it is over.

The issue here is how Obama continues to say this should not be about race yet his camp purposely moves the crowd around so that it looks like he appeals the same to everyone. Clearly if they have to do this then they are playing a racial game.

NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!!
All campaigns do this. It's all PR. Just because he is a Black democrat running for prez now there is a problem with it. But Hillary running around with staged token Blacks and Latinos standing behind her in her campaign speeches is ok. Talk about double-standards! This is why I changed my support from Clinton to Obama. White liberals are no different than Republicans. If they can't have it there way, they will have temper-tantrums and vote for McCain if Obama is elected.

What they really need is more white people to vote for him.

Maybe, if we put a lie from Obama, and a lie from Clinton together.....well...it would add up to another lie eh?

TO ALL WHITES, BLACKS, AND ANY CITIZEN OF THE USA. THIS ELECTION IS NOT ABOUT BLACK,WHITE,MALE,FEMALE,DEMOCRATES, OR REPUBLICANS. INSTEAD, THIS ABOUT WHOM WILL BE THE BEST PERSON TO TAKE THE HIGHEST SEAT OF THE NATION, AND BRING US OUT OF THIS RECESSION,WARS,HIGH GAS PRICES,AND ALL OF THE EVILS THAT ARE UPON THE USA AS OF NOW. AND SUCH PERSON SHOULD HAVE SOME PRIOR EXPERIENCE, OR HAVE BEEN CLOSLY AFFILIATED WITH ACTIVITIES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST, AROUND & ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE. AND MUST REALIZE & FACE THE RAW FACTS THAT BARACK OBAMA SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THIS RACE. IT IS OBAMA WHOM IS CAUSING ALL PROBLEMS IN THIS RACE. NO. IT IS NOT HILLARY, NOR JOHN MCCAIN. TAKE OFF YOUR BLIND FOLDERS FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND ACCEPT & SEE THE TRUTH. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK OF ANY GOOD TRUE AMERICAN CITIZEN THAT LOVES & CARES ABOUT THE REAL FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY?? YOU MAKE THE CALL.......

I don't know why so many think that if you do not support OBAMA, you are a racist.

Did you ever think we just don't believe one word he says? He has lost credibility with all his lies.

He is as slippery as they come --- changes his message to fit each state, cries fowl like a child, pretends to be what he is not and lies on just about everything he is caught on. He and his wife are both hidden racists. As much as they try to hide it, they slip up every now and then.

Obama supporters are in for a rude awakening if he gets elected.

n 2000, Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative who justified Palestinian terrorism as contributing to "political enlightenment," threw a fundraiser for his friend........

Barack Obama.

Khalidi has direct ties to Obama.

Before getting his job at Columbia University Rashid Khalidi was a Middle East professor at the University of Chicago, where he befriended none other than US presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

In 2000 Khalidi held a successful fundraiser for Barack.

Barack also played a role in getting funding for Khalidi’s Arab American Action Network during his tenure on the board of the Woods Fund. That is another unexplored black hole.

this is what Rashid Khalidi has to say about Palestinian terrorism against Jews:

On Palestinian violence. Khalidi glorifies anti-Israel violence as contributing to “political enlightenment”[vii] and unsurprisingly admires those who carry it out.

His loyalty to Palestinian terrorist groups run so deep that he actually dedicated his 1986 valentine to the PLO, Under Siege, to “those who gave their lives ... in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon.”[viii] The book whitewashes PLO violence against Israelis and Lebanese, as well as the Syrian occupation.

The influence of the black liberation theology of James H. Cone ( mentor of Rev. Wright and author of Black Theology and Black Power) appears in the political philosophy of Barack Obama as well as in the recent controversial statement about national pride made by Michelle Obama. Barack us the softer, social justice side of black liberation theology, Michelle is the harder anti-white-supremacy side.The media has focused on the religious beliefs of Huckabee and Romney, a much more substantive faith element has been at work in the Obama campaign, the media either hasn't noticed or if it had, hasn't commented.

This is an election for our next president, it should not be an election about race. It is so unfortunate that that is what it has become about!

If Obama waffles one more time on where he stands on things, we all are going to be dizzy. I need someone in office who is going to move things, not talk pretty about it, and keep changing his mind, or sees what the other person is going to do first!

Come on, this is our lives and our childrens lives, we have to get serious!!

NOW BACK TO THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL --- SUDDENLY --- THEY NEED "WHITE" PEOPLE!

UNTIL NOW, OBAMA HAS TRIED TO BE TOTALLY "BLACK". HE NEVER MENTIONED HIS WHITE HERITAGE UNTIL HE GOT INTO TROUBLE.

NOW THAT THE POLLS ARE DROPPING --- HE DECIDES TO PUT HIS "TYPICALLY WHITE GRANDMOTHER" IN HIS LATEST AD!

HIS WIFE'S TEAM MOVED ATTENDEES AND PUT WHITE PEOPLE IN THEIR PLACES.

WHAT A TYPICAL, HYPOCRITICAL, LYING POLITICIAN!

HE HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON “LIES”.

HILLARY ’08.

Michelle will never draw many white people because we don't want to hear her tear down our country.I'm surprised Obama lets her out of the house.
Can you imagine her as first lady?It turns my stomach to think about it.

its just so hard to believe the american people are not moving away from those racial slum talk. Its a changing world, even the climate is changing. Give the mr. obama a chance to do what he has to do to save the american people from outsiders who simply hate any words beginning with Amer***. Grow up ppl, change those ridiculous racial slurs. the man is not a racist, what does he need to do to prove that to you. he was raised with a white family. quite ridiculous for persons brinning up this rubbish
