Sorry I do not watch ABC

Posted by: Thinking | Apr 26, 2008 6:19:19 PM

That's OK, I don't watch ABC, and I'm not sorry...

Posted by: rco | Apr 26, 2008 6:21:37 PM

That will be a good show to watch, tho I can;t watch and listening to Daschle talk how great and incredible Obama is. Daschel is a loser, he is responsible for some of the loses in the Senate and he wasn't even able to hold on his Senate seat!

Georeg has sold his soul to aunty Hill the Bosnian General during the last ABC debate before PA vote. That is making it difficult for us to watch ABC with George in charge. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

I do not watch ABC for political news. Sorry. Oh, I'm not sorry either.

One curious challenge: how can we shut the Clinton b#tches up (I do mean both)?

I think all media coverage on the Democrat campaign should stop. It has been too chattering and unproductive.

But, of course all the journalists would be sitting around twirling their thumbs. Their rating would lose out to all the wholesome, all-american reality shows.

Ok, this is not related to this blog, but, I'm posting here because this blog is not crowded yet.

Did anyone notice how slick the Clinton campaign was regarding the $10 mil rolling in after Penn? I mean I would pull this same trick:
- They owe a lot of money around town.
- They are moving on to 2 other states where they would need some innocent poor little vendors to extend them some more credit.
- Of course, it's classic! "Hey guys and gals, we're about to come across a lot cash. You know we're good for it!"

Darned! Very slick!!

Hey, about this post not being related to the main post, I can use the Clinton logic and make a case that my post is actually relevant. Nah, I'll leave that to your imagination.

Posted by: Tired-and-worn-out-democrat | Apr 26, 2008 7:54:26 PM

was'nt it ABC that hosted the last obama/clinton debate...hoping they play fair this time?

Posted by: TK | Apr 26, 2008 8:33:25 PM

It will be interesting. I like reporters asking tough questions. I do not like to accuse any reporter of being unfair. Based on which candidate you prefer, some questions may be tough for you. However, in all fairness, we should be able to understand their reasons. The same questions can and will be raised by republicans later on. This is a good opportunity to be prepared for November election for democratic party.

Posted by: Ramesh Dave | Apr 26, 2008 8:45:28 PM

I find it humoruous that they reported yesterday that Howard Dean believes the nomination is about ELECTABLITY first and formost. Not who has a nickels worth more or less delegates and vote.

They ran it on ABC for one article then BURIED IT .

They never quoted it in a headline nor did any other network pick it up.

But you can make headlines all day about Bill Clintons waistline.

The media is a joke, and we who have seen thru it very clearly are going to harass the ones responsible for YEARS after . When it becomes painfully obvious how much the liberal media has tried to RIG the election thru brainwashing.

ABOUT THE NEW SET AND CAMERA WORK:
What is up with the camera work since moving to the new studio? Are you guys shooting Donna Brazile with a hand-held? No one seems to know how to block the shots. The cameras are constantly zooming in and out. You may have to adjust how the panelists are seated. PLEASE STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT. I love the show, but it's making me sea-sick to watch.

Posted by: ucratbo | Apr 27, 2008 10:12:54 AM

Has anyone mentioned the fact that Obama has big ears?

Posted by: Milo | Apr 27, 2008 10:13:22 AM

I find it absolutely mind-boggling that during the Round Table that no one said they saw the interview with Jeremiah Wright, no one has said they have seen the entire sermons from which these sound bites were culled,yet there has been no effort to rescind this rush to judgement of this man.George Will mentioned the AIDS comment but given the FACT and I repeat the FACT that the U. S government DID INFECT BLACK mEN WITH SYPHYLIS IN THE 1940S, WHY IS THIS POSSIBILITY SO FAR FETCHED? Also, the so-called 911 Sermon was mostly direct quotes from former U.S. ambassador Larry Peck. Finally the the "God Damn America" statemen is spiritualyy correct. God will never bless evil. America was blessed by God and turned her back on those blessings by it's actions, of slavery racism, classism and imperialism.We never want to air our dirty laundry. Rev. Wright is only following the command from God in Isaiah 58:1. "Cry Aloud,spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet;Tell my people teir transgression, And the house of Jacob their SINS!(caps and emphasis; mine.)

Der George, please inform that idiot Matthew Dowd that we don't hate Bush because of some nebulous fear. We hate Bush, and all his ex-munchkins, because they're all responsible for a badly batched war against terroism, for exceesively politicized administration, for being stupid, Katrina, and most of all, for wanting him and little pals to be gone, gone, gone, and yet he stays, like the drunk at the party that ended two hours ago.

Sunday 4-25-08

Once again ABC and its talking head George S. have demonstrated their inability to moderate a first grade event.

Today’s panel included the following idiots;

Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and Obama supporters former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala.

These people and the moderator are supposed to be political experts; my God it’s their job. There supposed to be informed, knowledgeable and most of all honest. A big part of the conversation was on the popular vote and its impact on the Superdeligates.

Are you kidding me? The will of the people has been ignored by the President, Senators, and Congressmen for ever. Since when have any of them voted for anything because of the will of the people?

Our Presidents are elected not by popular vote but by electoral vote, as evidenced by;

Al Gore’s run for the Whitehouse. He one the popular vote but lost the election due to the electoral vote.

Richard Nixon beat John F. Kennedy in the popular vote but lost the election due to the electoral vote.

I don’t recall being asked to vote for the War in Iraq but there we are.

I don’t recall being asked if I want are Soldiers to come home but there they stay.

I don’t recall being asked regarding Pork Barrel spending but there it is.

So here we are in a fierce Primary Election with (by the rules of the party) a clear winner and all of a sudden the delegate count doesn’t matter. Since when do the Clintons have the right to change the rules? There is no doubt in my mind if the rolls where reversed they would be defending the delegate count, and you all know it.

Where was George S. why didn’t he challenge the Clinton supporters, hell why didn’t former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala. Bring it up?

Then on the Roundtable, Maureen Dowd, Donna Brazile, Matt Dowd and George Will, the worst panel on TV. Bring up comments regarding Rev. Wright and George Will says where extremely anti-American but failed to bring up even worse statements made by;

Rev. Hagee statements linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews."

That "Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans" because it "had a level of sin that was offensive to God," as evidenced by plans for "a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina.

And I haven’t commented on statements made by Pat Robertson or the late Jerry Falwell.

As recent as Friday McCain said he welcomed their support.

You people call yourself journalist, fair and honest reporters. I call you bias and self serving opportunist.

Post this if you are fair and honest. Ill hold my breath.

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 10:50:46 AM

Please don't tell me again that I won't vote for Barack Obama because I'm a racist. I won't be voting for Barack Obama because he does not bring the experience that Hillary Clinton has at the national level. As for young people, I know a lot of very impressive young people supporting Hillary including my own children.
There is a television program setting up incidents to see how people respond. Time after time, there is a distinct difference between the way men and women respond. It is time to experience that difference in the White House. GO HILLARY!

Posted by: pimom | Apr 27, 2008 10:54:49 AM

Sorry, I got the date wrong, I meant to say 4-27-08.

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 10:59:59 AM

Obama will not be president - not because of any of the hate speech of Rev. Wright - but because he is simply not qualified to president. And for all her invisible "experience" neither will Hillary. Both of their "resumes" are an empty sheet of paper for the most part. These two couldn't BS their way into a corporate job nevermind the presidency. "So, is the only resume you have?"

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 11:07:06 AM

Sheila Jackson Lee just quoted a California philosopher...wasn't that Rodney King? Oh, he's a philosopher now? And why is it that when the black population votes for Barack, we shouldn't focus on the racial issue, but when white males vote for Hillary its an important issue that means that Barack can't win an election.

Posted by: Mir | Apr 27, 2008 11:07:22 AM

I enjoyed the show except that somehow the perception that Clinton has caused the damage to Obama was left out there. IN FACT, OBAMA CAUSED HIS OWN PROBLEMS.

Recent primaries have shown that people believe Obama's not ready and can't defend his associations.

We need to stay focused on who's the most electable in November.

Posted by: s. valenti | Apr 27, 2008 11:08:00 AM

Skory - the problem with your comparisons are the fact that McCain did not attend any of these other churches. Non of these preachers were his "mentor." That is clearly a HUGE difference. It's one thing for a a candidate to say "yea that nit wit over there likes me" and it is entirely different for a candidate to say "Yea, that nit wit has been my mentor for 20 years."

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 11:22:45 AM

You may be misinformed. Yes I agree, because of Bill Clinton Hillary has been around politics for a long time.

As far as actually holding a political office and making political decisions that affect real American people, it's not even close, Obama has held political office twice as long as Hillary.

Contrary to public opinion because you have been around someone or exposed to something it does not make you proficient at it.

I bring this up just to correct the misconception.

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 11:41:28 AM

"been around someone" - "exposed to something" - He was his mentor, not merely exposed to or been around. He was like a father to the man. Wright is a hate speaking racist - not the kind of "mentor" in whom I would expect a prsident to confide.

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 11:49:17 AM

GO HILLARY

Posted by: marie martin | Apr 27, 2008 11:55:04 AM

Who is directing the show today? I ask because it is absolutely awful. Your camerapeople are unable to keep the shot steady and are unable to focus appropriately on their target. It looks like someone wants to make this look like a rock concert...and quite frankly, I'm embarassed for you. (and the guy running in the background withcamera...come on people) I was under the impression this show was one for information and not "soft news" for entertainment. Perhaps I am wrong. Can't really find real news anywhere these days for all the spin and now the camerawork and the attempt (I guess) to spice up the look? Too bad. Guess I'll have to turn this show off now also. Pretty blatant imcompetence in my opinion.

Posted by: Laura | Apr 27, 2008 11:55:31 AM

One more thing....if you are distracted by the tech work...then get rid of the techs.

Posted by: Laura | Apr 27, 2008 12:00:19 PM


Chas

You are really misinformed. McCain has On Several occasions spoken at all those churches. He also was indoctrinated to the congregation of all those churches. Stood on the podiums, wore the garments and hugged the pastors. Called them great people

Also your point of tenure in those churches is misleading. It don't matter how long you have been a member of any thing.

McCain is a war hero; he preaches strong support for our military, veterans and country. So how can he in his own words "Embrace Rev. Falwells comments that 9/11 was well deserved.

There is difference, one was taken out of context the other about 9/11 was not, the one about the Catholics was not, the one about Katrina was not,

What does tenure or exposures have to do with I embrace their support.

Go on "Google" and inquire on controversial statements made by each of these Rev's. Then talk to me about Rev. Wright.

Have you listened to the whole speech? If you had you might reconsider your opinion.

Who by the way served his country for 6 year as a Marine and Navy Coremen? He was a member of LBJ's surgical team and has been invited to the Whitehouse by President Reagan and the first Bush.

Not something that happens to someone who is anti American...

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 12:10:08 PM

I don't know Rev. Wright and I don't agree with what was said the soundbite that they keep playing, but if any of you took the time to look the Reverend up on Google you may be surprised. If you look at his story, the man has much to be admired. LBJ thought so and so did Bill Clinton in 1998. As a veteran, I'm sure that without the politics, so would John McCain. Before rushing to judgement, many of us would do well looking past what the media presents.

Posted by: Mir | Apr 27, 2008 12:19:09 PM

Skory, you are simply wrong about this. Obama, attended this church for twenty years and had as his mentor (a surrogate father) for all that time this hate spewing racist. That is a fact of life and he and you cannot out run or change or make it different. McCain had NO such relationship in his life - period. You and everybody else are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 12:20:17 PM

Obama was on with Cris Wallace this morning and actually gave a good accounting of himself. He did himself good by facing the tough questions.

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 12:28:00 PM

Chas, there not my own facts they are a matter of public recors.

The words "embrace" and "I welcome their support" came out of McCains mouth several times and as late as this past Friday on his bus, to a traveling reporter.He also said" "No comment" when pressed.What are he and you fearful of?

What Mir said above is appropriate. If and I think you are, open to the truth, you need to listen or read the entire sermon.

You seem to think if their not my pastors everything they say is OK, and it's not.


Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 12:33:40 PM

I don't know how many different ways I can say this but if you think that accepting a pastors endorsement and having a pastor as a mentor and surrogate father for twenty years are the same thing - if you can't see that this is apples and oranges then, as they say, it is what it is. Have a nice day.

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 12:40:38 PM

Obama supporters, please cool down. I understand that you would feel angry and defensive when you see your candidate being questioned and criticized. But ABC hasn't only done this to Obama, but also to Hillary. There are many articles from ABC that consistently attack Hillary and question her credibility etc, such as Jake Tapper's blog. Please don't overreact. Obama isn't God and flawless. We all should be able to listen to stories from different sides, not just one side.

Posted by: Cattie | Apr 27, 2008 12:58:50 PM

Dear George, I watch you not matter what news program you are on, if your on it I watch it. I have a question that I would like an answer to. I remember a while back when the United States received a tape from alquida saying that they will destroy America from within, and now here comes obama, who is or was a muslim and his father who is a muslim, and a man who shows no respect for the National Anthem or the American Flag and was not even born in the United States and was brought up a muslim. It is very frightening to me to think that we may be putting the wrong person in charge of our Country, also a Pastor of a church should be praising God in church not damning him. I cant believe all the people in church that day didnt walk out.

Posted by: Annamarie | Apr 27, 2008 1:10:13 PM

Chas

One last thing and I'll stop. So what your saying is, that because Rev. Wright is Senator Obamas mentor,that makes Obama a radical and a terrible canidate for President?

But Senator McCains embracement of pastors who have said awful things about America, and accepting their support, is just fine,no problem?

Do I have it right? There not the dame thing?

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 1:11:59 PM

Skory - which one of McCain's pastors did he seek out and spend 20 years with? Which one mentored and advised and was a surrogate father to McCain for more than 20 years. Which one of these hateful pastor's church did McCain attend for 20 years and to which one of these churches did he give ten's of thousands of dollars. No, they are not the same thing.

Posted by: Chas | Apr 27, 2008 1:41:34 PM

I had to smile this morning about what your panel feels they know about us... middle age voters of middle class means (all races) who have decided not to vote for Sen. Obama.

We are too busy - feeding our families, paying a mortgage and working (at what may or may not be a satisfying job) - to listen to a vague message of "change." We have heard this all before! We want - no - need - substance! Tell us what you have done, what you're gonna do and most importantly - how you plan to do it! That's where our vote is! We have heard enough sound bites about the way the Senator wants/expects it to be! How he will bring a message of hope to those who wish us dead -if not actually then economically! This from a man who did not have the gumption to tell his pastor he did not agree with his rhetoric - and walk!

Sure - you can afford to buy the Obama line if your young! How many 21 year old college students pay their own health care - worry about an elderly parent - or a sick child? Only very well healed 20-somethings have the down payment in order to obtain a mortgage. And does anyone ever really realize a good paying job is a necessity until its' paying the bills of those dependent upon you! (So... maybe fulfillment isn't all that important?)

As for that element of angst (Fear?) Mr. Dowd - it arrives when you become a parent or caretaker to a loved one - and it doesn't leave. The totally fearless have little to loose and less to protect. I choose to think of us as brave.

As a Democrat, a parent and a working baby-boomer, I have listened to all of the candidates. Sen. Obama's message was invigorating for a time - but the content has fallen short - as has the man. Change can only really be made by those who have the experience to direct it and the desire to stand proud for it!

Posted by: kate | Apr 27, 2008 2:19:17 PM

Since the debates, we are all aware George favors Hillary, but really - putting up a chart with "Electoral Votes" to mislead people!!!!!!! Winning a state in the primary has NOTHING to do with general election and George knows it. Also, your chart says Obama only won 26 states, when in fact he has won 30 - LEAVING OUT CAUCUS STATES that conducted real, legitimate elections - can you say disenfrancise (as opposed to Florida & Michigan)!! Wow, how much is Hillary paying George to deceive the public.

Posted by: adk | Apr 27, 2008 4:16:13 PM

Chas,

Our current president, Bush, had lots of experience as a governor of Texas - guess that means you think he is a great president? I was pro-Hillary (even though she really did lack real experience, less than even Obama) - but her inability to run an effective campaign, pay her bills, and then the lies, negativity and hurting the democratic party (worse, actually sucking up to "vast right wing conspiracy" in Penn). And yes, Chas, I am a baby boomer, single mom, feminist - supposedly her demographic.

Posted by: adk | Apr 27, 2008 4:29:23 PM

Obama may have won 26 of the states so far. But one has to look at those states. A good portion of those states is red, now if you know your politics Red means Republicans. If you look at the ratio of Republicans verses Democrats, Repubs out number the Democrats in those states. An Independent voter can go either way. So neither one can be counted on. If Obama is not appealing to the base of the Democrat which is the blue collar worker, then chances are some will some won't vote for him in the general.

The problem is everyone is for change but who has the experience to put that change into action? Obama so far has not proven what kind of action has helped the community's that he has come from.

When Hillary Universal Healthcare back in 1992 didn't pass, she went back to the drawing board to get the SCHIP passed.

My question is; what has Obama done to make a difference in a person's life?

He says he doesn't take money from Corporations, well what he forgets to tell you is that there is a law that came out in 1973 that says that can't. What is sad is he is a lawyer who is suppose to know this. Or he is trying to bamboozl you! However he does take money from Corporate Excutives.

He expects that he doesn't have to work to be president. That he is just going to slide right into the Whitehoues. He is definitly a dreamer!!!

Posted by: Why | Apr 27, 2008 4:33:10 PM

Why - Why not

The goal of any politician is to sway voters from the other party "WHY" It takes a good politician to do that. How many red states has Hillary won?

Did you ever read Hillary’s health care plan? It was loaded, I mean loaded with fees and fines for Hospitals, Doctors and patients.

You think Health Care is expensive now, if Hillary’s plan would have succeeded the cost would be astronomical today Just Google Hillary’s Health Plans both of them, there almost identical.

You mentioned he hasn't attracted blue collar workers, your half right, but he still leads in all categories that are relevant.

Your point that Hillary got SCHIP PASSED IS BOGUS. Hillary got nothing passed she wasn't a Senator; she couldn't introduce a bill to Congress. So what are you talking about?

Hillary has been a Senator for over 6 years "WHY" hasn't she reintroduced her health plan before now?

As I mentioned earlier today, Obama has been an elected official twice as long as Hillary. Also, you really don't know the Southside of Chicago or you wouldn't have had to ask who Obama has helped.

You better check your sources, your only half right about the Campaign Finance Law and if you go to "GAO.GOV" and search for Contributions for Hillary you may be unpleasantly surprised.

Also Hillary has been investigated many times for contribution irregularities and had to return many contributions.

If you want some facts I'll be glad to supply them to you.

Please give me some names of Corporate Executives and how much they donated and I'll do the same.

Last but not least JFK was a dreamer and if Obama is anything like him, just think how great America could be again.

Posted by: Richard Skory | Apr 27, 2008 6:06:07 PM

Matthew Dowd's irresponsible and outrageous comments were making me sick this Sunday's show. To think that these are highly paid political 'pundits'!!! Yes your 3 sons 18-21 years old support Obama as do many other college age kids whose parents are paying thier high tutions and who can afford to live on dreams and in the future. They haven't raised kids and they haven't had their homes taken from them. People with their feet on the ground who have lost jobs, see their retirements go downhill, pay for their kids college, struggle with ever rising cost of living, see their houses being foreclosed, have to live through the present century first, before moving to the next one. This election is not about vacant ambiguous dreams, it is about the reality of the economy, foreign policy. So if the 18-22 year olds become disenfranchised if Obama is not the nominee, too bad, it won't be the first time. And as a parent Mr. Dowd, may be you have failed to teach your sons the priorites of life and realism that hard working people with responsibilities have to face. Maybe you need to grow up first Mr Dowd.

As for Ms Brazile, why doesn't she declare herself an Obama supporter and spare us of this farce almost every/every other week and stop appearing in the panel. Does she think viewers are stupid and she is fooling anyone?

Posted by: dgfromtx | Apr 29, 2008 4:28:04 PM

Obama is extraordinarily naïve and has exceptionally poor judgment if it has taken him so long to distance himself from his pastor’s poisonous preachings. A church’s good deeds do not excuse prejudice. And if Obama cannot properly appraise a man he says he’s known for 20 years, why does he think he’d be any more successful at appraising the dictators and terrorists with whom, he says, he would negotiate as president without any pre-conditions? Is this the “change” we’re supposedly hungry for? His comments about citizens clinging to their faith and to their guns during hard times suggest he doesn’t even understand many Americans. Is Obama an elitist or just plain inexperienced? Either way, the change Americans don’t want is for a political party to expect that we will trade a presidential nominee with questionable judgment for a president with bad judgment.

" i don't think he is particularly provocative" BO on Rev. Wright 7 weeks ago...

I hope superdelegates have real vision and can see the writing on the wall...
BO smells like mcgovern, dukakis kerry and gore

of course, all obama barack supporters - want to change the subject, and move on...

the problem is barack sat in the church for 20 years and it Infected him - it's part of who he is... and Obama was cool with it...

Most people know that if their pastor

DAMNED AMERICA FROM THE PULPIT IN A SERMON - it ain't right. ...
you find another place to worship... do something… maybe a profile in courage…

That's what hillary said she would have done. That's what most AMERICANS would do.

What's wrong with Barack he couldn't see this....

Barack defended the guy two days ago and in Philladelphia,

SO, NOW HE IS FINALLY MAD AND THINKS THIS GUY IS OUTRAGEOUS.

WOW what kind of president would he make...

The republicans will grind him into soup mea

Why does Obama talk to the public like they are stupid. He tells them "I am going to tell you the truth"... "let me explain this stuff to you that is way over your heads". How can people not see through this bull. Remember when he was quoting Malcolm X and he was telling the people that they were getting bamboozled and hoodwinked. He acts like the American people have an IQ of 10. I will never vote for this arrogant, inexperienced politician.

SEN. CLINTON WON ALL THE MAJOR STATES AND SWING STATES AS WILL. OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE FOR THE FACT THAT HE MAD BLUNDERS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. HE CALLED THE CORE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS "BITTER" SO THEY CLING TO GUN, ANTIPATHY AND RELIGION. 20 YEARS OF CLINGING TO A RACIST PASTOR AND DOMESTIC TERRORIST AYERS, WHAT ELSE CAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASK FROM HIM? OBAMA IS A FAILURE WAITING TO HAPPEN.! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Can anyone please explain this story about Peter Paul Vs Hillary Clinton? It's on the blogs now. It's about stuff on fraud and campaign finance against Hillary. Who is Peter Paul? Why is no one talking about this? Isn’t this a serious issue in a general election? This has been described as the campaign finance scandal of the new millennium and no one wants to discuss it. Does America not deserve better? I leave it to you guys to decide.

THE DELEGATES AND SUPERDELEGATES SHOULD KEEP QUIET UNTIL THE CONVENTION. THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM; OTHERWISE, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Obama's own words, buried by the media and his robotic followers. You can't argue with words because they do matter.

Quotes from the Audacity of Hope, from the 'Great Unifier" Barack Obama. Want to know him, read his book. Of course, that's asking a bit, isn't it?

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

WHY DOES O'BAMA THINK EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET HIM?

HE'S BEEN ATACKING PRESIDENT BUSH --- PRESIDENT BUSH ISN'T RUNNING AGAINST HIM!

THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, HIS OPPONENTS WERE HILLARY AND JOHN McCAIN.

OBAMA AND EDWARDS “ELITE” ATTITUDES WILL NOT GET US HARD-WORKING, BLUE COLLAR WORKERS TO BUY THEIR LIES.

OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE "EXPERIENCE" TO BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOES NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! WE DON'T NEED A PRESIDENT "IN TRAINING"! WE NEED EXPERIENCE.

The American people want Obama called out on "issues", as well --- no one is being allowed to scratch below the surface --- there is a cloak of force and lots and lots of money behind him --- makes you wonder???

WHAT ELSE IS OBAMA HIDING? THERE ARE TOO MANY COVERUPS BY THE BIG-WIG DNC!

DON'T FORGET 20 YEARS OF WRIGHT RANTING "GOD DAMN AMERICA", AS WELL AS HIS ANTI-JEWISH, ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-AMERICAN SPEWS OF HATRED.

WILL WE BE ATTACKED FROM WITHIN? DON'T FORGET 9/11!
