America is not perfect. There are lots of things wrong with our country. To acknowledge this and dedicate your life to improving it, working toward a more perfect union, is not something to be ashamed of.

It's a far more patriotic path than those who drape the flag around themselves while they drive our nation's economy, military and government into the ground.

kelly-It's the black liberation theology the good Reverend Wright and his two minions Obama and Michelle give to the typical white people. Obama's minions.

The way I see if there is still racism in America. Mccain will have harder time getting people to vote against a liar than getting them stirred up on the basis of hate that Obama has already begun. Obama is damaged goods.

I wouldn't call them slip ups. She has honestly called us out on matters we prefer to sweep under the rug. Now some of us clearly would rather they stay under the rug so we can pretend they don't exist, then call someone a racist because she forces us to confront them. I confess I used to think that way until one day I was forced to deal with a black young man who had been dealt a certain hand by the police. He was completely innocent and if I hadn't been there I would never have believed it possible in America. I was not the only white witness, but I was the only one who was willing to step out and stop an injustice. Too many of us are like the other witnesses. I got to know the young man and I know that black Americans have to deal with our racism every day in different ways. Michelle Obama has simply put voice to what many Americans are living every day. It is hard for us to understand if we haven't lived like that or if we don't, as she says, use the opportunity to befriend people who are different from us. Then companies would not have to spend so much on sensitivity training after we leave college.

I really think that guys like Bill Maher on HBO only endorse Obama the way they do because it is job security. He is in the bitch and moan business. If the candidate that he supports gets elected who is he going to complain about every Friday night.

Obama is going to be a great and perfect President, Please everybody give Him a CHANCE, we all need it also a new face new political person in the White House.

Obama is not going to stop hate by becoming president. I think he will only fuel more of it. I think it will spark a new resentment towards black and cause even more problems. We are not ready for this as a civilization. Missisippi shows how polarized the blacks and whites are and its the same in many parts of the country. There are still many cities where white people will not live in parts of town that are prtimarily black.. You can't end hate with a speech.

This will be my last post. It doesn't make sense to try to discuss important and complicated matters with someone who just trivializes and tribalizes, becaus ehe is unable to think. Try some honest and thoughtful discourse for once. It will bring more credit to the candidate you are trying to defend.

It has been a long day of listening to Obama, Bush and Hillary. One thing remains perfectly clear. Hillary misses every opportunity to unite a nation. Her reference to the "Drive or Reverse" insures that she will "turn off" any Republican vote that may be captured from the frustrations of Washingtion rhetoric. She just does not "get it", the rants and raves of party politics are weighing our country down. The Clintons should step aside and let our country progress beyond the negativity of "yesterday".

President Bush showed himself to be stuck in that same sinkhole that Washington politicians have built. McCain rides the same band wagon. They utilize the same buzz words that frightened our parents and anchored them to the party lines. It is old and out of date and needs to be changed. The people have been betrayed to often by Wasjomgtpm.

Obama once again showed himself to be "wise beyond his years" with a wonderful grasp on how this world has changed and how our "politics of econimics" has not kept up. He is not linked to lobbist monies. He does not have a daughter who manages Hedge Funds that rely on poor banking policies for profits. He is open to releasing his tax returns. How refreshing.

Again, how many times in the next 8 months are the Obamaniacs going to have to excuse Michelle & Wright with

"What they meant was...."

Like I said, GIVE IT A REST!! The mainstream knows EXACTLY what they meant!

We've never elected an anti American to the White House before, and we never will! Say no! to Obama.

Furthermore it will be easier for mccain to build a base of support on that same hate. Hillary clinton may be called a liar but it is harder to motivate voters against a liar(since most people see all politicians as liars) than it is to motivate them to vote on an issue based on hate.

cjvwise1-Did Obama grasp how the world changed with Reverend Wright? Yeah. He threw his grandmother under the bus to help himself by calling her a typical white person. Then it changed again the next day when Obama had to defend the typical white person comment and threw his grandmother under the bus a second time. Yeah, it changed all right. Now we're really getting to know this fellow and I don't like what I see. What a change!

Can't believe some of the insane stuff getting thrown around this blog.

I challenge everyone of fair mind to take a look at Reverend Wright's entire sermons, not just the theatrical and provocative 10 second sound bytes.

There is a reason he was invited to the Clinton White House, and a reason why he's been defended publicly by Mike Huckabee and even Hillary's own pastor. Sure he had a few wild moments, but on the whole, this guy is pretty mainstream Christian. The whole chickens coming home to roost bit? Turns out he was quoting a US ambassador who had recently been on the evening news.

If you're going to judge Obama based on reverend Wright, be fair and do your homework. you don't want to be a dupe for the Clinton's "kitchen sink" slime strategy, do you?

Obama has unusual depth and sophistication and is incredibly talented. That energizes some people in imagining what possibilities there could be for our country and its people. On the other hand, there are people that it frightens. They tend to be very rigid in their beliefs and feel very threatened by change. They generally have a preference for an authoritarian leader that will encourage them to all think and behave a certain way. They prefer a President who appears to be most like themselves.

The Obama camp want to blame Hillary for Obama's negatives? She doesn't have to slam him. There is Rezko, there is Wright, there is his plaigirizing someone else's speech as his own, and there is Michelle, who, try as she might, shows her hard and hateful view of the world around her. If we wait long enough, more of "the chickens will come home to roost."

I put my money on someone who studies the issues, knows the issues, and contantly works for the issues. We need someone who is smart, experienced and who has always had a purpose-driven life for the needs of others. That person is Hillary Clinton.

I thought McCain's speech on the economy was better than Obama's. He had more direct solutions.

Hillary's last batch of outrageous lies pretty much did her in for me. Sniper fire? GIVE ME A BREAK LADY. How am I supposed to respect her as a candidate when she's a compulsive liar.

Basically, you can't believe a single thing she says. And if you do, I'm starting to agree with the media saying Hillary gets most of her support from uneducated people.

Thanks greg we can discuss their economic plans, big spending vs no spending. Bail out for Wall street (Bears) vs no bail out for regular people.

Obama and his minions complain about the unfairness of "guilt by association." However, last month in Milwaukee, long before the chickens came home to roost, Obama attacked McCain:

To Carl,
Thank you for this information!

"I am looking forward to a debate with John McCain. John McCain is a good man. He's an American hero. We honor his service to this nation.
"But he has made some bad choices about the company he keeps."

This is such c-ap, BHO can keep company with nurmerous black radicas and nothing is said about it, his wife is just as bad with her radical backround, I 've read that they keep company with the "Weather Underground" and groups like that. Yes please explain how BHO does NOT have to explain his bad choices about the company he keeps!

Guys the infighting between OBama and Hillary will kill the DNC. Stop it.

Smart choice - Hillary/Obama for Nov 08, Obama/XXXXX for Nov 12 and Nov 16

This is the best deal Obama can ask for. If Obama is the top choice in 08, McCain is our next president and Hillary in 2012/2016.
