Most definitely. Although Clinton was picking up a lot of African American votes, NOW with an African American running they are voting Obama. Its now a "color" vote NOT an "issue" vote. At least in MANY cases. Sad but true.
Let me also add that I'm thankful that most voters are thoughtful and want to know the truth about whom their voting for. Its 4 years of whomever is in office. If your worried about the economy beware of those that will raise your taxes. I'm afraid many will vote based on color and the smooth talking of a slippery candidate. The choice is each of ours but the results are shared by all, Unfortunately!
This will be my first election in this country as my birth country is Australia. I dont have 'colour' baggage as not born and raised here but from the pleople I know around me and the people my husband works with and are on good terms with, I believe that people in this country are not stupid and at the end of the day vote on issues not colour or sex but what effects them and their families some are blue and some are red votes and at the end of the day I will have a beer with them all!!!!
Happyone: Its a nice thought, but your wrong. Color IS a Huge Issue! A lot of African Americans WILL vote for Obama Just Because He's Black. Not good, but its just the way it is!
Tell me one thing Obama had done since he has been a senator???
A vote for Obama is a vote for hamas!
Hamas has been campaigning for Obama in Gaza! Aljezira reported at march 31st, 2008!
Of course, it's quite obvious if Obama was not black he would not have 90 percent of the black vote.
Hillary started out with 52% of the Black vote; so, what he said IS factually wrong.
I doubt if she'll get the "profiles in courage" award but she deserves it.
Ferraro's original statement about Obama ("If Obama was a white man, he
would not be in this position") is right on target. His popularity is due
mostly to the fact of his race -- plain and simple. He's getting a good
portion of the white vote because of those voters who simply want to see a
black man as president.
You have to remember, these are liberals voting. They vote on their
"feelings" not rational thought. If Obama was a white guy these same
voters would see his total inexperience and lack of any real
accomplishments. You have to take into consideration that not only do they
want to see a black man as president for the sake of seeing a black man as
president but when they vote for a black man they "feel" better about
themselves for doing it.
Cliton has a huge lead with the black voters. She is the one who blew it. Obama is running an efficient and exiting campagn. Period.
Barrack Obama could take a CRAP on the White House Steps and the idiots would think it was wonderful. This is the MOST Biased election I have ever seen. If he is elected, the idiots will be eating that crap.
I just want to gag, I'm 62 yrs old and I'm so tired of having this "race" thing stirred up over and over and over.... It's like pulling off a very large scab on an old wound, time and time again.
Someone Please Stop The Maddness.
If B. Hussein Obama was not black he would be just another freshman senator. I do not want a hyphenated American as my President. When him and his wife can say they are Americans then they can try again. God help us to stem the flow of the invading hordes if he ever gets in the White house.
If anyone out there does not recognize that this is very much a color vote, they just have not been paying attention to the news.
Think OJ trial when even Oprah said that maybe the verdict was "a payback for slavery." Oprah is considered a hero for hightlighting the horrid puppy mills hre in PA but then why did she dismiss Michael Vick's lynching and other killings of dogs as a "cultural thing."
Obama's mask is slipping and as a "typical white person" in a small town in PA, I thank God that it is. Obama, Michelle, Trinity Church, Wright....just connect the dots!
I agree..People are voting for him because he is black..I think Geraldine Ferraro had guts to say what a lot of people think but will not say..
IT IS ABOUT COLOR...not his qualifications
Mr. Johnson does not have his facts correct. Barak Obama did not have 90% of the Black vote at first. Let us not forget that Bill Clinton had 90% of the Black vote. What would one call this?
The Clinton Machine just keep going and going and going. Enough already!
Someone always messes with the votes on here. The pole was only up for a minute and over 2000 people voted...........NO WAY!
Obama would not even be in the running if he wasn't black. The blck people would run hard and fast when they heard his plans for them. The people who really care about America would laugh at him and call him what he is.....a racist bigot.
Because he is black and because he is running against Hillary......people will vote for him out of spite are because of skin color.
I checked yes, although i do not believe the percentages are acurate, and futhermore i do not believe that 90% of blacks will ever vote.
I disagree with Bob Johnson's comment because he is wrong in his statement. B.O. did not have the so called "black" vote when he started... Clinton did! It was not until SC that he began having the majority of the African American vote. How quickly we forget Iowa and New Hamp. and other states like Wyoming. Will people vote for him JUST because he's black? Of course, but those people aren't JUST African American's that are doing it. I know some hispanic women that date black men and they are voting for him just because they like black men. Is it silly? Of course it is, but it isn't making news either!! And you know what, the same type of arguement can be made for Hillary and for John McCain. So where is the real news in this??
I also think that a lot of white Americans will vote for Obama, and also because he is black. I tend to think they will only do this though if none of the other candidates are particularly appealing to them. Many white Americans have grown rather weary of being labeled as racists and are willing to go well out of the way to prove we are not.
I can add to what Corrine said, but she pretty much said it all. Ferraro was not wrong when she made the comment and she certainly didn't mean anything derogatory as was created by the Obama campaign.
I absolutely agree with the Ferraro and Johnson's comments. It is great to see Ben Johnson speaking out on this topic as Geraldine Ferraro was wrongly judged for the exact words that Barack Obama revealed in a publication two years ago about himself. Geraldine Ferraro should speak out more often and defend herself as she was great on Fox a couple weeks back after the negative, demeaning comments from Randi Rhoades at an Obama fundraiser in SF. Greta-keep up the great Clinton coverage!
SCARLETT CHAMPION: Hillery started out with more of the black vote but that has substantially changed. If Obama was white they'd still be with Hillery.
Does anyone get to see the real Obama? Rezko trial witness says Obama attended party for billionaire.
http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6080208
Long-lost article by Obama's dad surfaces
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9610.html
PLEASE wake up and take a look at this guy for who he really is!
I would love to hear Obama's answer to this question.
What is the difference between what Ferraro said and what Johnson said? If nothing, why isn't Obama calling a press conference to admonish Johnson like he did for Ferraro?
The answer is simple: Obama is a racist.
We're not moving forward...Obama is taking us back to the 60s.
I am happy to hear commentators finally using the "Marcist" word to describe Obama! He is a communist. I know, I know, it is politically incorrect to use either word to describe anybody,
It is time people really question the "change" that Obama is talking about so much every day. Hitler and Stalin and Castro and Chavez all talked change.
It's easy for people who have a sense of entitlement sense birth to believe that a candidate who displays "difference" and is popular has some sort of advantage. It can't be because the candidate who looks more like them (in appearance and actions) is one who is unworthy of support.
Black people as a whole aren't a bunch of puppets to jump and wrangle over a person just because they have a darker complexion. If that were the case, Al Sharpton would have gotten a lot further in his race for the white house.
Obama is pulling in supporters of various races. Deal with that fact first.
Bob Johnson will continue to make his remarks in his attempts to cozy up to white folks. His billionaire status stems from his years of providing base programming that has maintained a misogynistic and self-hating image found in pop culture of black people in general and black women in particular. He is no representative of any group of people. He is all for self.
oh yes I believe geraldine and robert, I am terrible afraid of obama and his wife and OPRAH--------we will be sorry if he get nominated
White people seem to forget that the Clintons have always received a large amount of support from Black Americans. It wasn't until the Clintons started dirty play that they lost Black support. Black people have been treated so poorly in American history, that we're more interested in people "playing fair". Lest we forget that in the beginning of her campaign, Sen. Clinton had overwhelming support from Black Americans. They lost the vote due to dirty tactics. No vote should be taken for granted...
Pam....you are so brilliant and well read. It is just amazing of your anaylsis...the direct relation of Hamas and Obama....brilliant!!! I am just so happy that idiots like you are around....I know that i am smarter than 1/4 of the popullation.
Please FOX bring it to American people's attention!
In Gaza at refugee camps, Gazans has been campaigning for barrack Obama heavily by using Obama's campaign website tools and calling US voters!
The area is reported to be under the control of HAMAS! How come Obama can accept help from a terrorist organization Hamas?
here is the proof!
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/03/pali-gazans-cam.html
And another news Obama and Hamas!
here is the proof!

Color, what's that? Of course people are voting color. In America today issue do not matter. One can only look at the number of lies presented by both candidates. Additionally Obama's seeming lack of knowledge of many issues and gross inexperience is a glaring indictment of his incompetency. Clinton is no better in either category. What I do know is that both hate the Constitution, unless it serves their needs, and will do anything to get the nomination. If either gets elected the entire country will suffer.
well hmmm it would take someone brain dead to assume any other reason. experince Nope , done great works in business Nope , Done great works in the senate Nope , so id say it has to be race and the main stream media's chance to finally prop up a black person for high office thats on their side of politics. so its pretty simple stuff.
Just ask yourself , if there was a white first term senator with a bigot for a preacher , a wife who hasnt been proud of this great country , who is agasint hand guns , and has elitest views of small town americans basically calling them hicks . Would he be leading for the nomination ?
Hmmmm I think even liberal will have to agree of course he wouldnt be leading heck he would have never run LOL
Peter O
If Obama was a white man using the Obama appraoch to politics, this race would have long been over. By the way, I don'y believe Obama had 90% of the black vote when the first primary was held.
Bob Johnson wouldn't know the facts if he tripped over them.
Barack did NOT start out with 90% of the black vote.
Actually, Hillary HAD the black vote sewn up at the outset.
Barack earned every one of the votes--both black and white--cast so far.
As an African American (I prefer "black"), I'm insulted that the Clintons have trotted out Bob "Fruitcake" Johnson to tout an utterly irrelevant assertion at this point.
Clinton had a huge lead with black voters until the beginning of this year. How could you minimize Obama’s efficient and well managed campaign by stating he is where he is because of his race. It is laughable.
aman: If you think Black Americans are NOT voting for Hillery and NOW voting for Obama for any other reason in that he's BLACK I've got a bridge to sell ya!
I agree to a certain extent but also in a way its like saying Clinton or McCain wouldn't be in the same situation if they weren't white or a women. You can apply it to almost everything.
IN THE YEAR 2004 OBAMA WAS VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT HOW HE PHRASED A COMMENT. NOW, HE IS SOMEWHAT SELF ASSURED AND DOES NOT CHOOSE HIS WORDS/REMARKS AS CAUTIOUSLY. THIS MAN REVEALS HIS TRUE CHARASTICS WHEN HE SPEAKS. SURROUNDED BY ANTI AMERICANS, MARRIED TO AN ANTI AMERICAN, AND SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH ELITEISTS, IT IS FREIGHTENING TO THINK OF HIM AND HIS WIFE REPRESENTING THIS COUNTRY. IMAGINE HIS WIFE, GOING BEFORE A FOREIGN COUNTRY AND STATING THAT AMERICA IS A "MEAN" COUNTRY. SHE DOES A DISSERVICE TO ALL THE GREAT MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE REPRESENTED THIS COUNTRY IN THE PAST AS WELL AS ALL WHO DIED TO PRESERVE OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS.
It's a shame. Many of the black people I know act much differently now than they did 6 months ago. This is not a positive thing Obama is doing to our country.
Yes I do agree! it seems everyone got snowed by the term "change" and didn't look below the surface at WHAT kind of changes were going to take place! changes can be good or bad and Obama for me is BAD changes which will cost all of us a lot of money and mostly the poorest portion of the population will benefit. The middle class will be squeezed like usual and his idea of taxing to death the corporations and businesses which provide most of the middle class citizens will be taxed possibly out of existence and going to farm out even more overseas and job loss will increase as they will want to save $$ in order to make a profit which won't be possible with socialist/communist and progressive government. Having lived in a socialistic country the first 25yrs of my life believe me NOTHING is free ...not healthcare nothing .... we paid $135/per month in tax for that particular FREE healthcare!
Sadly, race is clearly THE issue in the democratic race. At this point, Obama could murder his family and still receive 85% of the black vote.
I think Bob Johnson is a Judas, he thinks because he is a billionaire he has a right to say these things about Mr. Obama, and he doesn't, all he did was get rich off young kids shake their butts on B.E.T. The government will show him just like they do all black rich people. Wait and See
Whether you like Obama, Hilary, or McCain you have to admin people are voting based on COLOR, and NOT BRAINS!!!!!!~~~~~~
Senator Obama is an extremely articulate and appealing candidate. His color has little or nothing to do with that. However, there are many articulate people in congress and other positions of leadership. It seems undeniable to me that Senator Obama, as a person of color, was afforded a more generous opportunity than most, simply because of his color.
You do african-Americans a disservice by assuming that we support Obama because he is the same color as we are. When Bill Clinton ran for president, he enjoyed as much support from the African-American community. Yes, there will be some people who will vote based on color; but, those people will be black AND white. The same will hold true for women who will vote for Hillary.
In the end, we all vote for the issues most dear to us - the economy, foreign policy, etc. These things should override the color of the candidates skin!
How many black people do you think are going by color only, not if a person is qualified to lead this nation and does not even believe in what this country stands for.
If a white man, Florida would have been seated with 857,208 votes for Hillary and 569,041 for Obama. If a white man, Michigan would have been seated with 328,151 votes for Hillary and the 237,762 uncommitted votes split between Obama and Edwards. Obama would not be able to block these votes if he were white.
Mr. Johnson said exactly what I thought when I heard Ms. Ferraro's comment. Our citizens have cow towed to the liberal premises to the point that we've become so "pc" it's scary. It's sad that we all have to walk on egg shells in order to "get along". What ever happened to honesty?!
Blacks because he's black. Liberal white because it makes them feel good. Young because it makes them feel good and experience is irrelevant to them.
G. Ferarro was correct and having to quit shows the truth behind the remarks! Why does Obama ignore that his WHITE grandmother helped to raise him? Because color is what he is actually running on. Many have said that although Obama hasn't even completed one term as a Senator he has the inside track for running from his party.
I think people should get the facts straight. Obama did not start out with 90 per cent of the African American vote. Initally, Clinton had the majority of that vote. Even after Iowa and New Hampshire she still had about 65% of the Black vote. It wasn't until Hillary's husband started making derogatory comments and shooting from the lip that African Americans began taking a close look at who they were backing. I also believe that it was after seeing Obama garnering wins in "White" states that African Americans began taking a closer look at Obama. So to be clear...He did not start with 90% of the Black vote....he was lucky to have 30%.
Regardless of what they really think about hte issues, a large percentage of black voters are going to vote because this is history and what are the chances of this happening again. Some are going to really analyze the consequences but I feel the vast majority of balck voters are going to support him because they can identify with his color and he makes them feel represented.
It is true! Obama campaign is getting help from Hamas in Gaza!
I have heard at Boston radio talk show WTKK last week!
even young adults who are new to the political world- some kids that are black will vote for obama just because he is black, when they know nothing about neither obama nor clinton! i am 18 years old and this has come up many times in my classes where kids will say they are for obama and then when asked why, they cannot give a reason.
Blacks are being pressured by Jesse Jackson, Jr. (Obama Supporter) and others that if you don't support Obama in order to make the first black male president possible, these blacks are considered Uncle Toms and Sell-Outs like Rev. Wright stated in his sermon. It is an unfortunate truth that is existing in 2008. We are not viewing this election like MLK, Jr. stated as that we judge candidates by the content of one's character (qualifications or experience), but people are forced to vote, especially a majority of blacks, by SKIN COLOR ONLY. If whites did that and had white supporters publicly backlash them for choosing someone of a different race, blacks would be calling this racist and raising holy heck. But, that is not happening and unfortunately the media and liberal bias in creating this Messiah figure of Obama is really causing a sad backlash that will result just like Jim Crow was created on a federal level by the Confederate South-led U. S. Supreme Court after passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment by the Radical Republicans. It is just going to be a sad day for true economic and racial progress if Obama is the nominee and McCain will be voted president in the general election. Can someone like CNN Contributor Bill Bennett say check mate.
Anyone who does not think race is a huge issue in this election, needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I would be willing to bet that 90% of voters could not tell you what the platform is for either candidate in the democratic party, assuming that voters know what "platform" means. The average American voter is not that involved in knowing what each candidate believes. All of them tout to be for a better economy, better education for all, better health care for all, etc., but ask any voter how that candidate plans to do all these things and they are clueless. Candidates in any election play on the emotions of the "uneducated" voter rather than trying to win the votes of politically educated Americans.
We can all set back and say it is not race motivated for Obama's success but race, and his color has the major reaon for his sucess. African Americans have came out in numbers that have never been recorded before. The proof is just in the numbers. I hope that Americans wake up and put a stop the Obama, not because he is black, but because is an anti American, smoother talker devil. I am a democrate and I will cross the party lines and vote McCain and will do everything I can to encourage everyone I know to do the same.
Of course it is true. All you have to do is picture him as a white man and think about why he would be so popular. He wouldn't be. There is no significant experience or accomplishment in his life.
True yes it is. Why do we all act surprised about that. Its always been known and a fact that if the minority in this Country ever got motivated it would make a huge difference. Well hello, their motivated, and it's not because of a woman or a white male. Obama speaks their language and promise them that all of their hope and dreams will come true. Why wouldn't they vote for him. If he becomes President will Obama and them be in for a big surprise and let down. I hope everybody is paying close attention to his empty CHANGE!!
Obama is a bigot and snob.
This obama is a VERY SHARP CON MAN, all talk
Obama is a Pied Piper, leading Americans down a path of false hope! He reaches into the past for his talks and has no real substance of leadership. He has too many times looked for a "Do Over" when he gets caught in a situation that requires a REAL solution or answer.
Senator Obama scares me. He has little to no experience at participating in, or governing much of anything related to public office or business for that matter. He talks the talk but has not walked the walk. For me his only claim to fame is that he voted against going into Iraq. What else has he done in the Senate? Nothing as far as I can see!!!!!
The reason why Blacks prefer Obama is because of his color but not because of prejudice. It is because they feel he identifies with them. He is like them. Just like the Mormons related to Mitt Romney and Evangelists related to Huckabee. His blackness makes him unique, his humble roots make him likable, and his speaking skills and good looks make him charismatic. Too bad those that idolize him do not really hear what he stands for or realizes how very liberal his record is.
This is a silly - perhaps racist - question. Obama is a smart man, makes a great speech and is somewhat charming. For many people, not including myself, that is enough. But other blacks have run for president, got a majority of the black vote, but not much of the white vote.
Since Obama has won where there were no significant numbers of black votes existed, why are you still trying to make him the "black candidate"? This is racist, and I am a Reagan Republican. I am now becoming ashamed of people who this line, including Fox News, which I liked a lot until recently.
Why don't we get to the issues in this country. This man wants to unionize the American workforce, raise taxes on the most productive citizens, philosophize our foreign policy in the open. This will lead to rampant inflation, create very high teenage unemployment, inhiibit growth and leave us weak in the eyes of other nations and enabling our enemies at a time when we need to be just the opposite.
It is sad but I believe most blacks will vote for Obama just because he is a democrat and black.
Senator Obama definately took the lead because he was black , young and said what every one wanted to hear. He made the right decision to go to every primary in every state and skip none. Senator Clinton gave her lead away by not doing the same. She skipped primaries in small states. and allowed Senator Obama to develop to great a lead. This could only happen in the democratic party where there are no winner take all states. So I believe His advantage was that he was a youg black man and Senator Clinton made a bad strategic decision.
If 90% of white Americans had voted for Hillary, it would have been considered racist, so I do believe the 90% of blacks voting for Obama is due to him being black and not because of what he represents. It is very sad, but very true. I'm not voting for either of them.
I have voted democratic my entire life. HOWEVER, if this country and my party is so STUPID to vote for man simply because of his race, I will vote republican for the first time in my life.
To you obamaphiles who think hes going to unite the country, when his own party is split in two, hows he plan on bringing us all back together ? Sing out another speech?
I am NOT the only one who feels this way about him, if he is the demo candidate, McCain wins in november from a HUGE pile of sick of obama voters,,
hes NOT electable, WAKE UP people and see this!
Obama has done nothing since coming to the senate. He has no experience in or on a national scene and has not brought with him a strong background in national issues or foreign policy. If he were a black man we would have never heard of him this time around.
Can someone please start reporting the following topics and expose Barack for what he truly is?
1. His connection with Rezko and political corruption in Illinois
2. Michelle Obama's thesis which is completely racist and anti-white
3. What was Barack Obama doing in Pakistan for three weeks as a college student?
Wake up America! This man is dangerous to the US!
Unfortunately Bob Johnson failed to lookat whether the white paerson had the same skills, knowledge and ability that Obama brings to the race. He nor the Clintons thought that a Black man stood a chnce. Shame on Bob Johnson for having such a low opinion of his race.
Geralding Ferraro was spot on. And yes, I am an AA woman but I am not blinded by Obama bin lyin and his very race baiting campaign. This will all blow up in his and his supporters faces in due time.
I strongly disagree that this is a race vote, when you consider that African Americans are a small minority in this country, yet Obama still leads in popular vote and pledged delegates. Hillary Clinton has no more real experience than Obama. Sure she's traveled extensively, but was not much engaged in executing foreign policy. Those of you out there who would feel confident with a President who has lied to you repeatedly and is not yet in the White House, go for it. You have no reason to complain about anything that is wrong in this country. I would not feel comfortable with a Commander in Chief who has lied so strongly that a foreign government has denounced her as a liar.
Numbers don't ad up; not enough black voters to put Obama where he is--must be a lot of patronizing liberal whites voting for him.
Dear Greta,
I definetly agree that if "Senator Jerry Smith" tried to become president, he would not have 90 percent of the African American vote. I also believe that the media is having a "hands off" approciate and I don't understand that. I thought the media should be fair and report the news. If Senator McCain, or Senator Clinton said, or did anything that Senator Obama has, they would be asked to step down from this campaign. If they had association with a racist pastor for 20 yrs, the media would be all over them. yet, Senator Obama gets a pass. I do not understand this at all~
Get used to listening to this "black" man everyone, he will be the next President of the United States of America!
" A man is what he eats" is true. Obama took in (ate) hatred, bigotry, and lies for 20 years and that is what he believes. More of his "culture" will come out in the next months. He is where he is because he is black, plain and simple. I predict riots and hate crimes because of the "divide" he is causing. He doesn't think what he says is wrong because he believes it. He apologizes because people rebel against what he says. A mother wouldn't give her child as many chances to explain as the media gives him. God help us if he becomes President.
Check the record and STOP SHOWING YOUR IGNORANCE!!!! Become politically astute!!!!! Clinton carried most of the Black vote until she opened her mouth and showed everyone her strength------LYING, JUST LIKE HER SPOUSE!!! I used to wonder why the Republicans despised the Clintons. BOY DO I KNOW NOW!!!!!
Hey happyone,
I don’t have 'colour' baggage is a ridicules statement.
You need to study Australia history.
What about the aborigines?
Aboriginal people became economically marginalized. The consequence was massive depopulation and extinction for some aboriginal tribes.
I actually called newYork Times and reported the news! Obama campaign is using hamas at gaza streets! Kolisrael reported last week! I guess first news came out at Aljezirah!
Color should not be a factor in our country's voting patterns. Color is not the only factor that distinguishes between races and these factors are morally and properly useable in one's voting decisions.
Viejo --- Look at comment number 8.
We do not know Obama, and his CULTURE HISTORY is enough to understand. Obama is not the man for the Job of President of the USA! He does not understand America or Americans, because of his up bringing, his core values, and the main fact he thinks we are bitter, mean, bullies, that cling to our guns and God. That all we needed to hear, to know without a shadow of a doubt, this man has no clue what is best for America. What ever color or race he is or isn't. God bless America!
Fish2rvp: Race IS at the core of this election. It doesn't have to be "brought" up. ITS JUST UP! If Mr. Obama had been white he would never ever have gotten such a free pass for all his blunders for so long. I've never seen anything like it and I'm 60. If Hannity hadn't enlightened people about Obama's close assoc. with Wright & his church we'd still be in the dark. I went to that web sight and just knew we were in deep doo doo. I kept emailing Fox wondering why nothing was being reported. This man is the most frightening person I've ever seen /heard running for the Leader Of OUr Country! God Help Us!
Shame on Geraldine Ferraro and Robert Johnson , We will laugh all the years Obama is our president. Love your show Greta.
Yes Yes and again Yes....it is all about color and isn't that too bad that if you are black, you don't care about the issues....What has this man ever done to get where he is now except be born blackish...and he will, if elected, do nothing to deserve their loyalty except stay black.....
Obama will harm the drug companies and raise taxes. Clinton will destroy private medicine as we know it and raise taxes. Wake up people. Why don't these candidates promise to cut spending? Obama thinks that all black people are angry because that is what his minister has taught him. When he said that people all across America heard remarks from their minister like the remarks he heard in his church, he did the rest of the black churches a disservice. My church preaches peace, respect for all, and no violence. A black president would be nice but this man is not the man to fulfill that destiny. A woman president would be nice, but this woman is not the woman to fulfill that destiny.
As an African American Voter I take great offense for the entire African American race to insist that we will file behind a candidate because of his race! We are not blind and we are not children! I have several friends who are supporters and those who aren't, there is no magic formula to "win" the black vote, if there was then all of the other white candidates would have figured it out by now! There is so much focus on discredting Obama to make Clinton look better just doesn't make any sense. Some of you must ask the question that blacks make up only a small percentage of this entire nations makeup so how do you account for his lead? Are white people voting for Obama because he's black, probably not, maybe they made that choice on their own! I am outraged that if he is a viable candidate with similar ideas and he happens to be a black man, his success must be due to that. Maybe when you line the candidates up and all that is left is real electability (not trumped up experience or intitlement) then you make a decsion on the Charisma of the candidate. For all the people out there that are saying that race is no longer an issue, I must laugh, it goes to show that deep down there is prejudice and racism that allows people to think that the only way a black man can be successful in a presidential election is if he has somehow been given a fixed race and that black voters are not intelligent enough to choose a "real" candidate!
Senator Obama true colors begining to show; he's a good talker but he has nothing in his bag, he is just a trick, and surely will be stupid to hand this great nation to an inexperience man who thinks the answer to our problems is socialism. How ever for what I see lately with this generation "they want Obama" funny: asking for rain, so that later they can complain about the weather!
Sun, CA
Leave color out of the equation--Obama does not have any record of noteworthy accomplishments as a Senator. He is without a shred of experience to be my Commander-in-Chief. I would consider cutting my sons trigger finger off!!!!
I think the Obama camp likes to use the race card as often as they can. And the press likes to give him a break on everything because of this. I am one of the people who think of Obama as the Manchurian Candidate.
I've thought this from the beginning...and how sad that people would vote for our president based on the color of their skin. i'm glad to hear others think the same as I. I'm not a Clinton fan, but I will vote for Hillary based on the type of president I think she'll be - the experience she's gained from the sideline. If she is not the dem candidate, I will vote for McCain. I do not base this on race, but on ability.
I agree that Obama would not even be in the race if he were not black. I was listening to a call in show a few weeks ago, a blacl lady called in to say all blacks would stick together to get Obama elected. I pray there will not be enough blacks and whites who will vote for him to get him elected. he and his spouse and his Pastor are all racists.
There is no doubt that Senator Obama is not only capturing the majority of the black vote, but many white liberals as well.
I like what Martin Luther King once said. "I look for the day when my people will be judged not by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character."
Sadly, that day has not yet come. Senator Obama's preacher, Jeremiah Wright has proven that in his wild accusations of it still being a rich white mans world and calling the white race devils. Certainly not the vision that Mr. King had in mind for his people.
When will the black race assimilate and become Americans with the rest of us?
Amen to Corrine for the comment that we all must deal with the candidate that all of us elect.
I'm just curious, for all you Obama supporters, why should a senator with 3 or 4 years of experience, be qualified to be president? Same thing go for Billary, what has she learned with a mere 7 or so years as a senator??
Billary has run nothing other than a corrupt law firm. Neither dem candidate can be considered worthwhile.
The GOP candidate isn't much better, but this is definitely a situation where there are 3 potential presidents, and when you say the 'lesser of 3 evils' the GOP evil is far better than either of the 2 dems. If one of the Dems eventually becomes president, it will certainly be a one term presidency, because our already faltering economy will go WAY farther south under the pressure of massive tax increases, complete anarchy in the mideast as Iran and al Queada take over Iraq after the troops leave, and complete disgust among US citizens from continued job loss to illegals.
My last comment is: Go Hillary! All superdelegates: vote Hillary. This will guarantee a GOP victory in November, and keep our country safe for another 4 years.
I wish the african american community would vote based on how they see the issues rather than how they see color. If a white candidate received 90% of the white vote, I'm sure the blacks would scream loudly. Frankly, I was prepared to vote for Obama, and I'm white and a republician, that is until the last four weeks. Now, I have changed my mind.
Yes I agree with people that say race is an issue. I was not born here in the US but I am an American citizen I have been here for almost thirty years. I was not raised thinking or having problems with people of different races because I grew in a white society but since I came here racism is a big issue and I believe discrimination happens in this country all levels; social, racial, economical bias, etc. Also, black people has a very "clan" like attitude and sometimes they close their eyes to their faults and discriminative coments and use too many excuses to get away with bad behavior especially if the problem is between a white and a black person.
Absolutely!!! First of all, Obama is rated as the most Liberal member of the Senate. He is far left of center, far exceeding the average of the population. Second, he is only out of the Illinois State Senate by all of 3 years and has no significant accomplishments in the U.S. Senate. He is a silver tongued orator who sounds great right off until you really evaluate what he says. I can only hope that what happyone says comes true and the U.S. voters cast their ballot using their heads and not their emotions!
Never in American history has there been an opportunity for an african american to come this close to run for presidency. Can you blame them for wanting such a historical change? i think the issue here is that african americans see having a black president as a symbol or ultimate status in attaining true equality. Thats why Obama has 90% of the african american votes.
I DEFINILTY THINK THE MAJORITY OF AFICAN AMERICANS WHO ARE VOTING FOR MR. OBAMA.....ARE DOING SO ENTIRELRY BASED ON HIS "BLACKNESS".
Because whenever a news reporter interviews such a person; they never seem to have any "clue" as to WHY they are voting for Obama, other than his race is similar to theirs.
It's so obvious. Even “Oprah” basically is doing the same thing!
Of course what Geraldine Ferraro said is true, just as it is true that Hillary wouldn't be where she is if she wasn't a woman. I was shocked to hear one of the young lady "super delegates" say she was having trouble deciding who to cast her vote for, her age group or her gender. Sad!!!
YOU GOT ANYMORE TALL TOMS OUT THERE? BOB JOHNSON IS THE GREATEST BILLIONAIRE TOM! WAY TO GO TOM, I MEAN BOB!
Obama is supposed to bring a new kind of politics to this race. So far, it looks and reeks of the same BS politicians have been dishing for many years. He's a dirty politician of the worst kind because his followers actually believe he will bring about good change. Better lay off the hopium and research your candidate and not be fooled by the scripted speeches and charisma.
If a white junior senator from any state would have wanted to run for president the democratic big wigs would have told him to get "inline" and wait your turn kid.
IF OBAMA gets to be president , wev"e all had it , We think it's bad now, wait and see,all hell will break loose
How can someone stand in front of the American flag, hear the National Anthem, see tribute after tribute to the heros of WWI, WWII, Desert Storm, 911, see how people rallied and are rallying to aide Katrina victims, and countries in Africa, and then claim that they've never been proud to an American.... Black or not, the Obama's have no place in our White House!!!!! So, yes, Obama is only successful as he is black. I think it's a shame. The African American community certainly has more qualified Americans that could be representing them.
Every major news network in America has asked this question; to say yes is a belittling generalization of blacks in America. And it disregards the seriousness and the awareness of black america's political consciousness. Are people voting for McCain because they are afraid of a black man in office??? That's a question that wouldn't be polled because your viewers and producer would think it was ridiculous, but I guess that doesn't seem as ridiculous for black voters. Now.....FOX since you did post this question (Nation Wide) for all your viewers, can you please stop rolling footage of Barack's "bitter" comments...... I mean, didn't you just do the same thing??? Generalized?
Greta
Why would obama expect us bitter,angry hicks to vote for him,when he's got 90% of the black and the rest of his elitests voting for him.
thanks
He's the Pied Piper....doesn't matter what he says....he opens his mouth and
followers hear music. Terrifying to watch hundreds of thousands go over a cliff......paralyzing to think they may drag the rest of us with them.
What about when John Edwards almost beat John Kerry for the nomination when he was a freshman Senator. Did he get all those votes cause he was white? The US is such a racist country. You can't stand to see a black man succeed even though he will do a much better job that what we have to choose from.
I am one of those gun toting, Bible thumpin' biggots Obama spoke of. No, I will not vote for him even though I am black.
LOL, white people are up in arms over Obama!!!! LMAO, most of you white folks won't be completely comfortable until black folks learn their "place" again...no matter how you all try to veil it by claiming Obama is "inexperienced" and whatever jibba jabba you rationalize to yourself, the reality is is that George Bush was a C student, a drunk who had his daddy and other cronies con an entire country to put his dumb butt in the President's seat. So, WHATEVER your issues are with Obama, the reality is that things CAN NOT GET WORSE. Let go of your racist, ethnocentric rage and exist in a space where you don't have to be the dominant and others are allowed to exist with the same dreams, hopes and aspirations. Understand how your issues stem from a greater picture...you say black folk vote for Obama because he is black, your issue is that you don't want a black man in the white house because you are white.
An overwhelming yes! Geraldine Ferraro was right and should not have apologized or gotten out of her position with the Clinton campaign. Robert Johnson was correct, also. Tonight, Bill O'Reilly disrespected him by calling him a "pinhead" for making the same statement. I am Republican but I don't see this - within context - as being political or racial. It's just common sense! Obama has no political record to speak of (If so, where is it?). I want to see documentation about what kind of "community organizing" he was doing 20 years ago. I also recommend people google the book entitled, "The Spook Who Sat By The Door." Obama is telling us who he is. I just think it is time for Americans to believe him and not let his national agenda come to fruition.
Contact me and I will let you know about how I know Barack Obama did know what his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., preached and why Obama did not leave the church, as a result, for the 20 years. Please finally pay attention. America's change need to be directed backwards to the time when we had no doubts about this nation's faith in God with family traditional values, love of God, self, others, country.
Keep talking, Obama! Let your own words fully define you until Americans stop and take notice and cringe the way I do. Then they might understand you are not ready to be the leader of this great nation.

PLease don't vote for McCain if Obama is elected. Just don't vote. he does not want our troops to come home and this war be over. Hillary still has a good chance and I hope she will win the nominee position. GO HILLARY!
obama has no resume. he got his shot in the arm from opra. since when did she get to be the expert on what our country needs. she can't take care of her business. he's just a polished speaker who is of the black race with a bad choice of friends he has associated with. we don't need hate mongers stirring up things. frankly i'm tired of walking on eggs. i haven't done anything to them and they need to get over it!
A thousand times yes!!! Yes it is true! We used to hear talk all the time about Bill Clinton being the first black president,Blacks loved him along with a great many others....until an actual black man entered the race,now all of a sudden the Clintons are no longer good enough. 'Hillary is divisive","If she stays in the race she's not thinking about what is best for the Dem. party" etc. etc.She has sound policies and ideas for this country,but Obama is better because he's black? I don't think so!It's laughable to think of this man as a unifier for America!
I was listening to WTKK Boston radio talk show and I did hear it!
yes Barrack Obama has a campaign office in Gaza in Palestine refugee camps and those Arab terrorists have been calling the US and asking vote for Obama!
It was reported by Aljezira , hard to believe!
I am Jewish and won't vote for Obama after hearring this!
My vote will go for John McCain vs. Obama!
So i'd say white or black, if this man is an anti semite and proHamas than he should NOT be the president!
VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN!
I agree with Geraldine Ferraro and Robt. Johnson 100%. Obama might have actually helped himself by simply admitting the obvious early on, instead of looking foolish by raising a stink over the obvious: "Sure, I have an advantage being black, so what?" Honesty goes a long way, and so does dishonesty.
Of course Obama is where he is because he is black. That is not racist, just pure fact. His comments about us poor bitter small town people clinging to our guns and religion should tell you that the teachings of his pastor Wright are coming out. He sit in Church for 20 years and doesn't understand salvation nor the fact we think we have a right to have guns(there is a Constitution) with such rights. We cling to our guns and our religion because of our faith and rights, not bitterness. The government under Obama might want to take that away, just check his record.Change with a do nothing Democratic Congress? HA. Look at the price of fuel under Dems in control.
Can you tell me what obama means by change. What is he going to change and HOW. If he dosent do anything it will change.
CLM: Don't lump all of us together! Most people want a moral, conservative, honest person in office - EVEN IF THEIR GREEN! Its only the African Americans that make this about color. SLAVERY! They have never experienced but go on and on. What they want is MONEY! If they get money than all the men and boys that fought during the Civil War should ALSO obtain the Same AMOUNT - their ancestors - for freeing those slaves. Lets keep it fair here! Don't think that the Black vote for Obama isn't thinking of free government propgrams and reparations!
Bob.....a question to you....do you reallly "know" black people?
Can we put this in perspective please - We have a White female - a White male - and a bi-racial person running for President. The comments by both people were correct and this racial issue is brought totally on by B H Obama and his illustrous wife themselves. The only time race is brought out is when they condemn the supposed low lifes of the working people of the US of A. I've been around for a while and I get sick and tired of hearing about the black people being discriminated against. If it wasn't for the slaves in the first place they would still be in Africa. And trust me I'm not racist - I'm open minded to any conversation!

Obama is definitely where he is because of his color. His record certainly didn't get him there. But it isn't the first time that a black person gets an opportunity to "move on up" simply because they're black....nor will it be the last, I'm sure. What happened to choosing the best qualified person for the job.....?
He's the Pied Piper....doesn't matter what he says....he opens his mouth and
followers hear music. Terrifying to watch hundreds of thousands go over a cliff......paralyzing to think they may drag the rest of us with them.
This is a sad time for America it seems. We are all worried about a number of things, but I have to agree with Geraldine and Mr. Johnson, I am a little scared of Obama, I will be backing Hillary, I know she has made some
blunders too, but I trust her and believe she has the American peoples interest in her heart.
The black race loved the Clintons until Obama entered the scene and rose to stardom. He got to where he is in large part due to the media positive coverage and no questions asked of him. I believe they (the media) is afraid of going after a black man in any negative way even to the point of being unfair to the other candidate. Aside from this black has backed black more than gender backed gender where a female gender was concerned. More to the point the media has been relentless in attacking Senator Clinton. Consider that little pig Tim Russert and his teammates. MSBC has been so pro-Obama it makes me sick.
dwight barber: question to you? Do you "really" know white people? DUH.
Well said AnAfricanAmericanVoter, totally agree with everything that you have written.
I agree..if Obama was not black he would not get 90%of the black vote.
But it is getting black people registered to vote.
I also think people like chanting his name like some sort of mantra.
Also, his quiting smoking just before the campaign...what is that about...
how does he operate" his household " smoking in front of his kids jeapordizing thier lungs and health. SHAME on him. Why would be put our trust in someone like that.
Also, "CHANGE" ....isn't that VATA problem. For those who don't know it's
an Ayurvedic constitutional category...look up Depok Chopra for more info.
Pretty clever marketing by the "Dem. party.
Obama needs some help....some balance......he is not mature enough yet for this position.
The blacks will vote for blacks as Hispanics will vote for Hispanics regardless of qualifications. Obama is not qualified to be President, is very liberal and naive, has done very little, and would be another Jimmy Carter taking us down.
Even, as senator is too much for his level of mediocrity ! Lucky he was having Oprah , Soros and some Middle East money involvement ! That is a kind a political money laundry on global economy ! ...And Hussein Obama is a puppet of Dick Morris & The Parrots !
a young, white, unknown 3 yr senator would not have gotten this far. Obama has charisma and says the things that many want to hear. (most of the time) i think Obama's time will come, down the road of time.
but please, to be our President, is one of the most important jobs in the World ..... any doubts of patriotism and inner strength and personal integrity .. should be listened to. personally, i listen to them all carefully, and i pray my vote is the best for my country
I'm a registered republican, but I now consider myself an independent. I think Obama's meteoric rise is due to a number of factors. He obviously has a lot of charisma, and he was a shining star in the Democratic Convention in 2004. He;'s young vibrant, and has a popular "public" message. He doesn't have a lot of baggage, since he hasn't been in the public eye too long. There is no doubt in my mind that if he were white he would not be in the position he's in. I think of him along the same lines as John Edwards. Young, intelligent, energetic, ... I think that if John Edwards were black he'd have been in a similar position as Obama in 2004.
It sad, but True. Obama would have just been another senator running for president, his message would have just been another message. He would not have the amount of black or white votes he would have now, The media would have pointed out that he was en-experienced many times, and many of his flops and mistakes would have been pointed out, and frankly he wouldnt be able to do everything he could do on this election.
To this from Underestimated Person: "Black people have been treated so poorly in American history, that we're more interested in people "playing fair". Yet, they forget it was the Republican that was more involved in their equal rights from the civil rights to the civil war (Lincoln). The Democrats will elevate and hold high a kkk leader like Byrd. Call blacks like Clarence Thomas an uncle tom, while elevating poeple like Sharpton, Jackson. Throw oreo cookies at black republicans - and yet, would go balistic if a Rep, did that to a black Dem, ect... - what's fair about that?
I don't mind a black man for president but I do mind a semi-Muslim, anti American, hamas supprter! he is not even black he is semi-black!
Very true.
Dennis Kucinnich has much more experience and he couldn't get 1% of the vote.
Will the real Obama stand up? I think he has begun showing us his true character or lack of one.
Bob Johnson and Geraldine Ferraro was right on the money. The new media is picking the demecrat nominee and for the life of me I don't understand it. I'm a 58 yeqr old AA male from GA. I have vote for nothing but dem since newt G made it an us and them cause. It is no way I can vote for obama's crash and burn message.
To those who are contending that Hillary was winning at first, I must be mistaken. I live in Iowa and could have sworn that Obama won in that caucus. Obama has come out of nowhere, people have called him "the Messiah," swooned, and fainted. I don't know about anyone else, but ever since he's been in the picture, I've been reading my Bible a lot more. I guess that's just me "clinging to my religion."
If a freshman white American Presidential candidate received over 90% of the white votes against a black candidate, I'm certain that the media and black voters would think this represented a racial statement.
While I do believe that Sen Obama, while oviouisly talented, did get some breaks due to being a person of color. Especailly with the college age groups that normally talk alot and stay home during election. If he were white he would not have made it pasts Super Tuesday and would have been beaten by John Edwards. However, that being said, he sure does know how to work those caucauses.
Yes it is true, sorry but true that Obama is being supported by the black population because he is black and for no other reason. My opinion is because I think they believe that he is their savior from what they still believe is a white mans world that he will work to make everything better for them. What they fail to see in this man is that Obama is for Obama and will say smoothly anything they want to hear. This also applies to his white supporters but for different reasons They are doing it to show that they are not raciest and it makes them feel better about themselves/ They are not looking at the whole picture. Are the all ever in for a surprise if he is elected president. He will not deliver on what he is saying which is not much because he can't seem to give us any clue as to what he will do. He avoids the issue or changes the subject. And man can he talk ask him a question and he gives you a lecture.
The black race loved the Clintons until Obama entered the scene and rose to stardom. He got to where he is in large part due to the media positive coverage and no questions asked of him. I believe they (the media) is afraid of going after a black man in any negative way even to the point of being unfair to the other candidate.

Consider that little pig Tim Russert and his teammates. MSBC has been so pro-Obama it makes me sick.
It's obvious race is a huge factor and Ferraro is absolutely correct. As Robert Johnson points out, if John Smith or whomever ran for office being a senator with a 3 year history and were white, then there would be no headlines and Smith would never have gotten off the ground. Between the black community and the media, Obama has been propelled to stardom but in the general election, I bellieve his baggage will catch up with him ... or at least I hope so. He is a separtist and an elitist and has no business in that high office of President or even Senator for that matter.
K COLEMAN: What I think is many of the people supporting Obama feel "A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT" and thats why they want him in office
Gerald, is on the mark with his statment. As for me I have done things in my life to show people that I'm not a racist. but voting for someone not qualified to be president is going a little to far. Does anyone think there will ever be just Americans ? BTW I'm native american and 60 years old
So sad! If people continue with their blindness and he gets elected as a Democratic candidate, My whole family has agreed to vote Republican. And we have always been democrats.
WOULD YOU HIRE B. H.OBAMA TO BE CEO OF GE OR GM ?
IF YOU HAVE AN I.Q. OF 25 OR MORE YOUR ANSWER IS -- NO !
THEN, WHY IS HE RUNNING FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION ON THE PLANET ?
B.H.OBAMA AND HIS WIFE BOTH HAVE PAST HISTORIES OF BEING ANTI-WHITE AND ANTI-USA.
GOD BLESS THE USA
ENOUGH SAID,
RICONIKO
Yes, most Blacks vote for Obama because he is also Black.
And did you also notice how most all television guest commentators; on FOX; CNN, and the rest, who happen to also be Black themselves.....also give Obama a "free-pass" and insist he can't do any wrong? Even after all he has done wrong so far! I certainly have noticed!!!!!! It’s laughable.
Yes. Being black has put Obama in his position. I hear people say it is time for our first black president,so they are voting for him. That may be true, but he should be President for all of us regardless of color. You should never vote for a person because of color but his ability. Obama is not the one. maybe Condi Rice?
This race-baiting is clearly out of hand. There is nothing racial about a true and obvious statement.
I was on a blog a couple of days ago and there were 5 or 6 African American men talking back and forth between each other and they were saying that they are Hillary supporters but have to be in the closet about it because they actually get threatened if they say they support her. They said their families have been threatened also. What has this country come to!
Obama, Hilery,Ferrero, and the rest of the dems are really hurtin' and
John McCain is on a roll. Hooray for John!
Would one of you people that believe that we African Americans are voting for Sen Obama simply because he is black please explain to me why we did not get behind Mr. Alan Keyes, a black man that ran for president as a republican?
Yes it is true. I can't believe this candidate with no experience in foreign affairs, no major accomplishments, constantly playing the race card and blaming the Clintons is going to be the nominee of the Democrats. The media msnbc, Cnn have done much to annoint him King. He is cocky, arrogant refuses to apologize for any of his statements and this country should be disgusted and angry he is even being considered for the Presidency. If he were white he would not be in the race still. I wish people would wake up and see he is not who he claims to be all of his associations are telling us who he really is.
Of course it's all about color. And the liberal media are giving him a free ride... come on people, if he was a white man with the same credentials, he could not get elected as dog catcher.
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
28%
CLINTON
24%
How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit,
you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward
retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a
retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will
go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are
counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement
income.
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN
15% (no change)
OBAMA
39.6%
CLINTON
39.6%
How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock
market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement
accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now
be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton
become president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on
dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do
absolutely nothing to cut the deficit."
INCOME TAX
MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000

straight forward.
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN
0%
(No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA
keep the inheritance tax
CLINTON
keep the inheritance tax
How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms
and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for
generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those
willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these
taxes.
NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA
* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400
square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water,
electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....
* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same
level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!
Can you afford Clinton or Obama? I can't!!!!!

Sorry, you’re absolutely wrong. The highest percentage of black votes for Hillary has been in New York (36.6 %). In most of the States Obama received 80-90+ % of black votes.
Blacks are voting for Obama because they see him as the first black candidate with real chance of becoming the President. They’re excited about him and overlooking the fact that he does not have the credentials. Some people would view this as voting along racial lines. Other would see it something out of over-excitement due to the historic moment of electing a black President. Truth may be somewhere in between.
he is arrigant and I have never heard him say I am sorry to any one . he will not stand aside any of his ways or beliefs for no man or no country. His wife said she is proud. Well I am not proud of my country right now. Young people are doing horrific crimes there are no rules codes or standards to live by because there is always someone who says there are wrong. We have our children running around looking like ----------- tattoos galore , piercings and pants below thier butts they look like a bunch of toddlers walking with a load in thier pants. girls are sending nude pictures here and there wearing clothes to short to tight and too low.......... and of corse not to mention the economy.... and all the rest. but I am not BITTER I am enthusiastic for a promissing future with a little help from our friends. Maybe Hillary was in enemy fire but she is now and then she was in enemy lands doing what she could for the people not condemming them and yes I will vote for mc cain if hillary doesn't make it.
You have more choices that the candidates in the 'Big Two'. Bob Barr, (maybe), Nader, and others will be running as other than Democrats or Republicans. If you change, look at all the candidates.
One thing the black folks in this country have NOT considered in their hope for a black president. If he wins, and its not a CLEAR victory, there will be a backlash against black workers in this country that will make the civil rights era seem like a san francisco wine and cheese party.
Most of the people who control the MONEY in this country are white, and their managers are WHITE, and if they see this as a stolen election, they will make CERTAIN the black folks suffer in retribution.
You think about that, when you get told you are getting 40 acres and a mule on Jan 21 2009,, you may have to live there WITHOUT A JOB
Obama is NOT A BLACK MAN, Obama is NOT A WHITE MAN. Obama is ANYMAN. He will be anything it takes to be Pres. More to the point. He really is PINK! After spending 70 years on this earth, Obama is the first candidate I know of who Rule the USA NOT GOVERN! He wants to take charge of every single thing US Citizens CAN & CANNOT DO!
Go El Obama Hussein
Blacks stick together (yes, it's true), and nearly all will vote for Obama no matter what.
What I want to know: Is that enough, along with other voting Democrats, to put Barack in the White House?
Those who feel that Clinton lost the black vote are using backwards logic. Once Obama showed any chance of winning, after Iowa, African American voters swarmed to him in numbers consistently over 80%. Let me remind you this was far before he discussed any specific policy issues. Obamas rise to popularity was also fuelled by popular press coverage and a free pass on his views in the mainstream media. This fact also helped him become "the front runner." It is sad to see that the Obama campaign always talks to take race out of the picture when it helps them but at the same time are so quick to apply the double standard and cry race and race rhetoric when it will benefit them similarly.
Greta,
Have reporters investigated the allegations of Larry Sinclair regarding Obama?
http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/
Aljezira reported as of March 31st, 2008 that Obama gets campaign help from a terrorist organization Hamas ! Gazans log into Barrack Obama's campaign website and use his tools to call US voters ! This is true!
The majority of Obama's support are young white and educated.You can't fool open mind,educated people, that demand facts over fiction.Bob Johnson needs to wake up,this a new day and a different America,race is not a factor in this election. We need someone with fresh new ideas to move us in the right direction,not the same policys with a different twist.
During the 1960's the African-American population wanted to get rid of segregation, now they are polarized against the White-American population. We are all Americans in 2008, regardless of gender or race. The media takes these polls based on race and gender, which should be outlawed. Polls should be based on income or employment type. People should not be stereotyped based on the color of their skin. Americans need to vote for change by voting for the politicians who are real people, not politicians by career. We need to unite the states of America by eliminating the Electoral College, and then our popular vote would really count. Metropolitan areas should not have a greater value than rural areas where more people live. The whole system needs a tune-up before it breakdown!!!
Absolutely, color is the driving force. Two years ago we never heard the name "Obama". What has he done for America so far? Would'nt be a shame that if he totally screwed up as the first "African American President". It would tear this country apart. It would devistate the black community, energize the white supremists, split the Democratic Party and breath new life into the "us and them". By the way O.J. didn't do it! Right?
I do not agree with the comments - Clinton supporters say the darnest things! I also disagree with Karl Rove that Sen. Obama gets a pass with the media. Every time I turn on Fox news, it's overkill with Rev. Wright or "Bittergate". How many times do we need to hear this - we get it already! By the way, I'm a Republican.
I work for a black celebrity who in completely non-political. However, this person has donated to the Obama campaign and after not voting (ever) will be voting this year for Obama. He has no idea what the issues are and many of his stances, if he were not voting color, would NEVER vote for Obama. It's a sad commentary...but, true. Black people have a pass to be racist and be very public about it. White people practically can not even SAY the word "Black" and they are called racist. Stating the obvious was political suicide for Geraldine Ferraro...but, Robert Johnson can say the same thing and not be attacked by the NAACP. Good for you Robert for standing up for Geraldine.
I don't trust him. I don't know why people can't see it.
Red or Yellow, Black or White we are precious in his sight....why is our society now all about color of skin? Where is the human factor in all this? Why should color of skin make a difference in what one is "allowed" to say or do? Can"t we all just get along as one nation?
It is appauling that a man running for the highest position in our government is presenting himself like a junior high student with the arogant and snobbish lectures. It is aparent to me that he can not present himself in a professional way as our president. I am a dedicated middle class democrat who will not vote for him ever. I want a leader who does not use words such, six shooter, bitter, racism as a crutch, but as a strength. Furthermore, I have been very disappointed in his so called friends and mentors. The people he has choosen to be around(pastor, slumlord, overseas friends, senior advisor for his campaign and even his wife) are bad choices and hurt his creditability. Thank you but no thank you.
I think of Obama as the "manchurian" candidate; being groomed and marketed by backstage untouchables. If an uplifting by very powerful forces isn't the reason for the "black" season, I'll walk on water tomorrow. What a fairytale story his campaign has turned out to be!
Maybe his name ..is part of a people's cry for their MAMA.......
Maybe that's why the young voters like him....
Obama has the ability to motivate the young and the ignorant, Pretty much taking advantage of them. The sizzle fades from the steak. I pray that the people of this great country understand who he really is before it's too late ! He is no where even near being ready to be commander in chief. The radical terrorists will be jubilant and dancing in the streets. And when Obama would be trying to turn the White House upside down ,radical terrorists would hit early and often not only in America but across the globe. Sorry Barak you can't play with the Big Boys till you put in a lot more time and work and study.
Go Obama Go !!! Just stay away from Bill and Hannity, they just keep digging and digging to find the dirt, I am sure if they dug as deep with McCaain and Clinton they would find dirt there too. And it is about time we hava a minority as a leader, that is what people are so against. So more power to OBAMA
Say the rosary, vote Obama and all transgressions will be forgiven.
Hey Frank, Obama is poisoning the youth! because just simply young people have not enough life experience to figure out the snake yet!!!
Obama is dangerous for America! believe me open minded people even won't like the change he will bring in to this country!
By the way I came from one of those socialist countries, You won't want that!
Stay as you are be capital!
GO MCCAIN!
I believe Geraldine and Robert know what they are talking about. I am very afraid of Obama and his wife! A very slick politician and I can't imagine listening to that three word cadence when he speakes for 4 more years! It drives me crazy!!
dwight barber - Are you kidding? First African Americans do not vote Republican, except in small numbers. The Democrats could run all whites against Alan Keyes and they will still vote Democrat. But, if Keyes was a Democrat, it would be a very different story.
Wendell, thank you for your clear and heartfelt thoughts. I too at one time tuned in to FoxNews for political info but I have really been turned off. Not very fair and balanced if you ask me.
FRANK of course the majority of Obama's supporter are white and educated (I would also like to point out most of his black supporters are also educated)....the reason most of his supporters are white is a proportion game. That is why we need to look at the percentages and by a landslide african americans support Obama (80-90% or more).
I am a Cuban-American citizen, and believe me this great nation is for a rude awakeing if Mr Obama is elected president. He is as racist as his Chicago clergy buddy, the only difference is that he will not show his true color until he is elected, and then .................BEWARE!!!!!!!
Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba in 1959 rooting and yelling for change, and change Cubans did get............COMMUNISM!!!!!
I work for a company who has black managers!
Since thsi Obama dude is running for president, the attitute of my boss and supervisor has been changed and they became racist against me and the other whites!
This is just the beginning!
Couldn't it also be said Pres.Bush wouldn't be where he is today if his father hadn't been President and he from a rich elitest family. True he does lack experience but no one has to vote for him. He has got many more white votes than black. My feeling is this is that if he and Senator McCain are the nominees then we will have two very good candidates with a real choice. O yes we have a President with experience and as D. Phil would say, how is that working out for you. Not too good I am afraid. I am sure if Senator Obama is the next Pres. he will make some mistakes but then we are used to it. I predict that if elected he will do just fine.
Forgot to add something that is somewhat important on my post earlier and just noticed it in reading: RE FREE Socialized Healthcare: we paid $135/per month in tax for that particular FREE healthcare .... Belgium is one of the "better" of this type of program you can actually choose the SAME doctors whether in a university hospital OR in his private doctor's office. The difference would be the equivalent of a few dollars vs a $100-$200 for a visit. Some countries do not give you the choice .... in my time I've never had to wait for being treated and haven't heard that this has changed .... unlike in the UK where we lived too and what is so often mentioned in Canada whereas they come here for better care. So, be careful of what you wish for .... I would like the rates for insurance to come down it is now crazy and most can't afford it .... that may be something to think about improving.....
While I happen to agree with both statements, my biggest bone of contention with the Obmas is their unabashed lack of patriotism. They have gone out of their way to show they are not patriotic. Once other folks figure this out, Obma will not carry more than a few states in November.
Roy....I did not mention Mr Keyes because he is a Republican but because he is black. Many of the comments here tonight indicate that we would vote for Obama simply because he is black( by the way he is white as well) not because of his political affiliation or his qualifications....my point is we/I do not vote for someone simply base on their color.
Yes, Obama has been given a free ride from CNN and gets lots of great press from most of the media. We have had SnipperGate, WrightGate, BitterGate and now we need to add LostGate. These are the Gates that lead to the White House for Senator John McCain.
If the media had covered B.O. from the beginning as they have all other candidates in other primaries/elections in past years, Obama WOULD NOT be in the position he is in now. Shame on the media! Until recently,
they gave him a free ride to get where he is. I DO NOT want a President who refuses to salute our flag with his hand over his heart with a wife who has never been proud of her country until lately (could that be when the first-lady's position is within reach?) My feelings are NOT because he is black -- if Colin Powell were running, I would vote for him; He has the experience and is a true American and I believe he has the respect of all peoples around the world.
That's a crock that the majority of Obama voters are young educated white, get real! There black voters that are voting for him because he is Black, nothing else. they don't give a rat's ass about what his experience is, they just want a black man as President. his recent comments about small town America, I pray, I own more than one gun, I'm white and I'm a woman. i get up every morning and do the chores outside and I am educated and I am definitely not bitter, Jerk!
I agree that Obama is not held to the same levels of scrutiny on the details of what he is going to do to bring about all this "change" he talks about. I think a lot of the time he is not asked the hard questions--and pinned down on the details. There is too much at stake to just give him a pass on the hard questions and the issues--unless we just want someone so "Green" in the White House that we have the legislative branch of government controlling the executive branch--because he doesn't have the experience to deal with all the problems we have right now. Then too---this campaign is setting race relations back YEARS. I lived through the 60's and I DON"T WANT TO GO BACK!!! WE ARE BETTER PEOPLE THAN THIS CAMPAIGN IS MAKING US OUT TO BE!! We need someone in the White House to bring us together--not drive us apart as a nation.
Absolutely! Blacks only vote for Obama based on his race as a Black man. No other reason.
I think Obama is so NAIVE he would simply be a "puppet" for the Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s whims while in the White House. I am sure they have got big plans for him…………….
People thought Bill Clinton was a slick Willie (which he was and still is) however, he does not hold a candle to the slickness of Obama. America needs to pay close attention to this young man. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. Just can not trust him anymore. Of course it is about race. I agree with everything Steve Banner said.
ANAFRICANAMERICANVOTER: I have to respectfully disagree. Obama has nothing but 3 years in the senate and he's run out on all the major votes. Theres nothing to him as far as being a man to run the United States of America. His record speaks for itself. I'm not to astute on the function of the government but just introducing a bill doesn't make you great. Its the outcome. What have you produced. He just doesn't have it. Black people just LOVE to blame it on his color but let me say, because people who state things as you do make me angry, that we look deep. BENEITH the color of skin. Wright, Rezko and Ayers to name a few. You may not mind but a lot of us do! 52 earmarks, Pork, totalling $97,000,000. Hes wayyyy to liberal. He claims to be a Christian than degrades those of us who are. "I" Felt degraded. Also, a Christian who believes in abortion, the killing of the unborn? Mr. Obama thinks its just a-ok.' just another white woman or guy, do look beneith the color of a persons skin and your comments indicate your own racist thinking and your anti-white sentiment or we must be just stupid, white people.
Claudette McLeod....you don't have to dig very deep when we have audio of Obamas' comments last week or videos that are readily sold of his pastor. I think the 65% favorable rating of when it comes to Obamas press coverage to hillarys 48% and McCains 40% contradicts that overall people are seeing "dug up dirt" on Obama...Overall the press is treating him like a 14 year old student counsel canidate.
Has Obama said anything about giving the black people government money because
their ancestors were slaves? I was wondering if that was
part of his agaenda.
I concur with their comments. What happens when Obama gets in office and cannot get anything through congress or the senate. The Pres is not all powerful unless congress allows him or her to be. While I am more in the center, I believe healthcare and economy are in need of a major revamp. However, we must ensure we do not become a nation of socialism.
Couldn't it also be said Pres.Bush wouldn't be where he is today if his father hadn't been President and he from a rich elitest family. True he does lack experience but no one has to vote for him. He has got many more white votes than black. My feeling is this is that if he and Senator McCain are the nominees then we will have two very good candidates with a real choice. O yes we have a President with experience and as D. Phil would say, how is that working out for you. Not too good I am afraid. I am sure if Senator Obama is the next Pres. he will make some mistakes but then we are used to it. I predict that if elected he will do just fine.
Everyone please give PA a chance!
A week from today , Barrack Obama will face his first lanslide!
Since Rev. Wright and his hateful church exposed to the media there was no election!
Than he made those bitter remarks!
Do not believe the Gallup polls! They are bunch of liars as they did lie before in NH , TX and OH!
Hillary will win Pa with a lanslide
I am confident winner takes all for HILLARY in PA 86% to 14%!
Byebye Obama!
Not too long ago, there was an Obama photo released (I think by Clinton) that was a bit overexposed and made his skin look darker than it truly is. The Obama people objected to the photo. If race is not an issue, why is Obama so concerned about the exact shade of black? Could it be because he wants to be black enough to attract the black vote but not too black so that he does not repluse the white vote.
Of course I believe it. 90% of the black people will vote for him because he is black. Just look at what happens anytime a black is in the news. OJ got away with murder. Mike Vick, because he's black all the blacks, even Oprah and the ever present NAACP came forward to hollar that we don't understand what it is like to be black. And don't think that I wouldn't vote for a black person for President if I thought he was a good American and would lead this country fairly. Because, I would. But, Obama is not a GOOD American. He is ashamed of America, just like Wright. And as for Oprah, I as well as a lot of people I know have seen the true Oprah. I would never have thought she was a closet racist. But, I do now, and will never watch another show of hers.
How many times are we going to "Excuse" Obama's coments? Can we really be thinking about electing this man to represent the United States? What kind of Faux Pas can we expect when he is dealing with a crisis situation?
Whew!
As I read the Comments here, I see that Obama is right!
The BITTERNESS just rolls of the Trigger Fingers of Righteous Fox "Fake" News viewers. BUt you guys just cling to Your TV. Get a Life!
In answer to the Question:
What??
How did Obama win all the White Votes in Iowa and other Red/White States.
Geraldine Ferraro was a loser and still is.
It’s a shame she is taking Hillary down with her.
We in Pennsylvania are Bitter and Pissed at Elitists like Hillary, Geraldine and that 17 Yeay Old Brat Chelsea - There is one Elitist that looks down her nose and tells people at rallies that “It is None of Your Businees.”
Why does Hillary want McCain to win? .. Because he is the other Washington Insider!
Is Mrs. Clinton so out of touch with the Blue Collar Workers here in Pennsylvania that she does not really know that many of them are BITTER with Her and Bill.
Her support of NAFTA has not only cost them their good paying jobs, but also our Pensions and our Health Care which was to be part of our Pensions.
I think She and Bill screwed them royally!
If she is the Democratic Nominee, then I think the “Rifleman” McCain will wipe the Booze from her Tongue and take away her Beer Breath.
That would be good. How do we tell our Children and Grandchildren to avoid Alcohol and Cigarettes while a losing Presidential Candidate guzzles a Shot and does a Beer Chasers? …. Especially when she does it to support the Alcohol Lobby and NOT really looking like she was trying to fit in! — Hillary and her Daughter are Elitists and do NOT fit in. — Do you remember the “Princess” answering a question by telling the asker that it was “None of your Business.” — What could be more Elitist!
Technically, she may be right. But, he is a great alternative to the Leona Helmsley alternative! And a liar.
LORENZO: When a man or woman of color is rich and conservative their Uncle Tom's. Too me that is just the most stupid, ignorant, brainless comment I hear. I think its because most of you are jealous. A Black Man That Worked Hard, DIDN"T LIVE ON THE GOV'T. and became filthy rich! Can't stand it can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????
Obama is only a novelty, however when he loses to McCain in November, expect race rioting (war, actually) from coast to coast, better get ready
Day by day Hillary is building a stronger base in PA !
I really think that Hillary Clintoin will be the come back kid after PA!
I own a bar, everybody that I talked to will vote for Hillary!
may be winner takes all is niot the case but i think she may be 20 points ahead!
Obama has no qualificatons whatsoever to be the next president. The only reason he is where he is, is because of his color. I think people are fascinated with the idea that a man of color can be president. Geraldine Ferraro was right when she said this. The double standard of the liberal media who adores the arrogant Obama is just pathetic. I hope America wakes up before it's too late.
Is s it really true about Obama having a political office in Gaza ? How come O'Rielly or Hannity and Colmes have not picked up on this?
What Obama did right was manipulate people when they were vulnerable.. So many people are fed up with George Bush that all Obama had to do was walk in with good sound bites like "chage" and "look to the future" to get support. He doesn't have anything to back his sound bites, but he obviously has 3 things that are important to Democrats... He's black, sounds good and is a liar.
Obama's campaign of intimimdation and retaliation and careless use of the race card I think were calculated and not the transparent, "new politics" he reports to follow. I think it was intended to scare the media - warn everyone to be careful, walk on egg-shells so he could weather the Rev Wright thing (which he had to know would surface), cover any gaffe's like the April 6th event in San Francisco and either muffle or water-down the coverage. The more I learn about him, the more I'm sure he is dangerous, divisive and power-driven. The underlying motivation is still a mystery because we haven't seen the authentic Obama. He's an amazing orator who can skillfully craft a speech...beyond that -- we really have no idea yet.
I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. Look at the racist stuff going on in Wilkes-Barre, Pa and other cities in the last 2 weeks.
JMICHAEL: Did you just get off Farhakhan's spaceship? Been out in space too long I do think.
I urge all voters...especially democrats, like myself, to truely look into what Obama means...what he wants...what his record and as hard as it is to say what his numerous association say (remember we so often held the GOP based on one or two associations). If he is elected the general democrat has to support McCain: I was shocked looking at his record how liberal he really is. Obama however scares me. The number one reason I dislike Bush now is because his disapproval may enable Obama to become our commander and chief
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT in 2008!
PA , IN , KT , West VA will go for Hillary!
NC will ofcourse a write off because blacks make the race issue and will go for him!
So the comments are so true!
I hope people will recognize that obama is coming out in what he says . We can't hide what we really are forever and the longer this goes on the more of the true obama we will see. He sat under that pastor for 20 years and it wasn't because he didn't believe in his way of thinking, when you don't agree with a pastor you can love him without sitting under such outrageous teachings. His grandmothers racist comments made him shutter but his pastors comments didn't. Come on people, and how can a christian justify voting for someone whose past voting record goes against everything we believe in? I just do not get it!!!
sdyni ...you wrote the word "Black" 3 times in your anecdote. I want you to know that I don't think you're racist. I think you're a person with a valid opinion.
Yes: Geraldine Ferraro made a comment many of us were thinking. Obama himself made it a couple of years ago. Ferraro lost her job over it because her observation was somehow viewed as racist. Now Bob Johnson has said the same thing. My, my ... what a double standard.
In my view Sen Clinton is not an appealing candidate because she's smart but ruthless. Universal Healthcare would absolutely bankrupt our country. Sen Obama, on the other hand, strikes me as having a more appealing personality. But now that his connections with Jeremiah Wright--who hates America--and with William Ayres--who was involved in the bombing of US buildings and wants to kill people--have come to light, they both sound dangerous. Add to Obama's account that he will have so many programs it will bankrupt the country (like Hillary's plans). On top of all this, Michelle Obama is hardly patriotic. So it looks like neither Democrat would be good for the country.
By the way: I'm not 100% sold on McCain. Yes, he's a true patriot. But that doesn't mean he would be a good president. He has made some commitments, but does he really believe in those things that are opposite to his initial views.
Shall I vote for Bob Barr--the Libertarian candidate who probably doesn't stand a chance of winning?
This is not a spam! Aljezira reprted that Gazans work for barrack Obama by logging into his campaign website and calling US voetrs and asking their votes and try to raise money! Since the area is a refugee camp, it has been reported that bunch of coffee shops have been turned to Obama campaign offices! And the area is under the control of Hamas!
here is the proof!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21YF7ggCG6g
IOWAN: Since Obama you've reading your Bible a lot more? Great! Show me where Jesus condones the killing of the unborn! YOUR NOT READING "ANY" BIBLE; not any of seen that oks abortion. You better KEEP reading; maybe you'll learn something b4 you have to vote!
Couldn't it also be said Pres.Bush wouldn't be where he is today if his father hadn't been President and he from a rich elitest family. True he does lack experience but no one has to vote for him. He has got many more white votes than black. My feeling is this is that if he and Senator McCain are the nominees then we will have two very good candidates with a real choice.

I am sure if Senator Obama is the next Pres. he will make some mistakes but then we are used to it. I predict that if elected he will do just fine.
Old people are voting for McCain, women for Hillary, black people for Obama, younger people for Obama, white people for McCain and Clinton, and so on. Anyway, if any of the past 42 presidents were born with black skin, they would probably not have become president, but now it is a huge deal that maybe having brown skin is a net positive? The horror!
Tony...please don't give us centerist democrats a bad name. You are also on this comment site like those you mock. I am sorry to see that you buy into anything NBC and other mainstream press feeds you. I hope you enjoy your socialized state...that is if Obama tells you to enjoy it. I am a democrat and I am beginning to turn away from my party based on the evermore evident free pass Obama gets. Why as liberals do we feel that it is OK to have our side not to have to answer questions and to bash stations like fox who really cover all the topics fairly well. this media biasis and "more holy than thou" attitude of our party frightens me and pushes me away from an institution I supported for so long.
Please check this out!!

I am glad to see that people are finally really listening to Obama's rhetoric. He is a fake. He tries to stick to his script, otherwise his true character shows.
Look at all the men who have attracted people to blindly follow them. They had charisma and charm, and knew exactly what everyone wanted to hear. These men were after power and money, just like Obama. He doesn't care about this country or his fellow man, black or white.
Conservative Jerry....since you like the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, I suggest that you and others who have the view of Rev Wright that you do, read Dr King's speech on Viet Nam and our occupation of of that country. I wonder if your view of him would change.
yes, i think most blacks will vote for obama because he is black. it's politically correct to believe that this idea is somehow racist. well i'm not politcally correct and pretty proud of it. i think it's simply that people are comfortable with those who are familiar (comes from the same root as family). many blacks are drawn to a person of color. the fact is obama is a rookie senator who's nice looking and has charm. he has almost no qualifications to be the leader of the free world for crying out loud. u won't even speak of his racist minister or his own left wing views.
Obama is proHamas!
Here is another proof!

If Obama was a white man, everybody would see what an arrogant S**t bag he is...
Now that you have this great feedback from your viewers regarding the unfair treatment of Geraldine Ferraro, I would love to understand what you intend to do with this information from a journalistic perspective. We would love to see this topic properly addressed on one of your next episodes, "On the Record".
DWIGHT BARBER: My husband and I (who are white) supported Mr. Keyes. I may be wrong about you, but I believe in general he was too Christian and Too conservative. Now theres a Black Man WHO would get my vote. Alan Keyes isn't an arrogant, smooth talking, slick oil salesman either. He's REAL!
Obama's dishonesty is getting to be obvious every day. This man is a liar, misrepresents himself with his pretext of change when in fact he's a man greedy for black power. His arrogance and condescension especially to the ordinary folks in middle America is just simply appalling. I don't see it as elitism because this man is a non-elite, it is just plain ghetto attitude. This man is a fraud. America should start to see this by now. Do we really want to see Jeremiah Wright hanging out in the White House? I don't think so.
dewight barber - your point is understood. But, to use to a "Black Republican" as you did is a misnomer - and out of the the relm of current reality. The black community would vote for Byrd (D) former KKK over Keyes - but, that doesn't solidify your point because of the above. If Keyes were a Democrat, do you actually believe blacks would vote for a former kkk elitist over Keyes? I don't. Jessie Jackson always did very well with the black population comparitively - because? People reacting as you describe, also, see time and again other black people (Democrats again) giving a pass to issues like Rev Wright, ect.. - but would not if it were a white Rev, and a white Rep. candidate. So, the race issue runs deeper than just surface politics.
Couldn't it also be said Pres.Bush wouldn't be where he is today if his father hadn't been President and he from a rich elitest family. True he does lack experience but no one has to vote for him. He has got many more white votes than black. My feeling is this is that if he and Senator McCain are the nominees then we will have two very good candidates with a real choice. O yes we have a President with experience and as D. Phil would say, how is that working out for you. Not too good I am afraid. I am sure if Senator Obama is the next Pres. he will make some mistakes but then we are used to it. I predict that if elected he will do just fine.
A terror organization Hamas is campaigning for Obama in Gaza!

I totally agree with both of the comments. Where would an unknown politician with a very thin resume not known by most of America, ultra liberal, get 80 or 90% of the black vote upon stating he is running for President of the United States if he wasn't black? And he is only 1/2 black. If he were totally black he would probably get 95% of the black vote.
Many in the black community run in lockstep to the democrat ticket and put up with the race based hustlers such as Jackson and Sharpton and Obama's pastor. They don't seem to get it that the democrats haven't done a thing to improve their lives. Yet they vote democrat!
Obama and his wife are very scary people! The more he talks and the more she talks reveals a very negative attitude toward the U.S. Shared by his pastor.
Very nasty people in my opinion. I would not vote for Obama. Not because he is 1/2 black. Because he is incompetent and is not truthful. He seems to be a master manipulator! With an agenda.
everyone of you on here who are say no you know you lying to your self this is truly a racist race an obama is the one who has divde this race i am black and would never vote for him the day opran said he was so bri.. i knew this usa was in trouble her heart is in africa i will put it like this the good will have to suffer forthe bad at least we all had and open book on the clinton what this country really know about obama?
I would GLADLY vote for a black president if he were QUALIFIED!!! I would vote for Colin Powell in a HEARTBEAT and Condi Rice would have my vote as well...
TONY: You've just got to quit traveling with Obama and Wright on Fahrakhans's spaceship. Its doing something to your brain.

Obama and the Sojourners for Hamas
Ed Lasky
Presidential candidate Barack Obama has established ties with Sojourners: a liberal Christian group (with the emphasis on liberal) as a way to burnish his religious credentials and gain political strength. This very same group is supportive of Hamas, a vicious Palestinian terror group responsible for the deaths of many innocent people and a group that indoctrinates its youth to hate. Not to mention dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews. What gives, Barack?
Obama spoke at their forum in Washington, D.C. last month ; he also spoke at the Sojourners Pentecost conference last year where he received an award.
I suppose this group is marginally better and certainly provide a better image for Obama than his much deeper ties to the controversial Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Jr. (his spiritual mentor)-who openly spouts anti-Israel invective, supports divestment actions against Israel, supports Louis Farrakhan (Judaism is a "gutter religion") and travels to Libya to offer support to the arch-foe of Israel and sponsor of terror Col. Muammar al-Gadaffi (recall Lockerbie airplane bombing?)
Mrs. Ferraro simply stated facts. Blacks have been getting away with double standards for years. Would any black person deny that Obama has 95% of the black votes because he's black. Of course not.
Makes one wonder what would black voters do if Obama was a Republican. Would they immediately switch from democrat to republican and give up the free programs. I predict not. Even Obama isn't worth the loss of a good welfare program.
The glib handling of criticism of his relationship with the anti-American ("God Damn America!") and anti-Israel ("a dirty word for Negroes") Reverend James Wright may have bought him a little time. But the legacy of dissimulation about his long-concealed identity is about to come crashing down around the ears of Barack Hussein Obama, courtesy of the assembled testimony of his family, friends, classmates and teachers.
Obama's official campaign site has a page titled "Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." The page states, "Obama never prayed in a mosque. He has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ."
Yet the accumulated research from primary sources who knew Obama from his childhood indicate that he was a devout Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim, the step-son of a devout Muslim and the grandson and namesake ("Hussein") of a devout Muslim. He was registered in school as a Muslim and demonstrated his ability to chant praise to Allah in impressive Arab-accented tones even as an adult. Just as he has not disavowed his "uncle" Jeremiah, neither has he disavowed his Muslim faith that he was born into, raised with, celebrated and never abandoned. He just covered it over with a thin veneer of his own self-styled "Christianity."
Although as an adult he would register as a Christian, and occasionally attend a Christian Church (but apparently not often enough to listen to the preaching of his pastor, or so he would claim) this was a necessary step for a man who from earliest boyhood has nurtured the precocious ambition to be President of the United States.
He was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968, registered under the name Barry Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen whose religion was listed as Islam. Catholic schools accept non-Catholics worldwide. Non-Catholic students are typically excused from Catholic religious instruction and ceremony, but are expected to study their own faith.
In kindergarten, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want to Become President.'"Iis Darmawan, 63, Senator Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,' the teacher said." [AP, 1/25/07]
Three years later, in 1971, Obama enrolled in the Besuki Primary School, a government school, as Barry Soetoro, Muslim. In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07]
All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school.
He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.
In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
"In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies."
According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. "I remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.
The author of the Laotze blog writes from Jakarta: "The actual usage of the word 'mengaji' in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. "Mengagi" is a word and a term that is accorded the
To get off topic here a bit; I would like to know what specific issues are making people vote for Obama....is it just change or anti-republician (anti-Bush) because those aren't issues. Obama still lets on to little specifics and never explains how we can support what he mentions (in broad terms)...Again I want to support the DFL but this guy can't win. If even half of his views, voting records, or non-rhetoric opinions/associations got out in the main press he would not have a chance. We need clinton; she may not be great, but we need her. Or I am fully for McCain; he is not that conservative
DUHHHHH......no I don't......
Yes, Obama is where he is at because he is African - American. However his color has nothing to do with the reason Iwould never vote for him. He has turned my stomach from the first time I heard him preach. I have been to many churches in the Mid-West and believe me when I say, these are not speeches, they are sermons. I do not trust him and care too much for my family and country to give it to this man for the next four years. I will take my chances with McCain first. By the way, I am one of the typical white females who supposrt Hillary Clinton.
I have often wondered where the black Americans believe theywould be if their own people had not captured their ancestors and sold them to the slavers. Would they even have been born, or would their ancestors have been killed off through genocide? Would they be kings, or would they be slaves, a problem that still exists in many countries, including Africa. Black Americans like to cry over the plight of their ancestors brought to America in servitude, but white people were also sent to the colonies as indentured servants (enslaved). No one talks about all the white people, or brown people, or yellow people, who have been enslaved by one group or another, since man inhabited the earth. Time to move on folks, stop the self pity and get to work, as we all have had to do. I know what Senator Obama is, and I believe most Americans will make a prudent determination when it comes time to vote.
WHY ARE SO MANY OF THE FAKE FOX NEWS VIEWERS SUCH BITTER RACISTS? -- Try a different channel , ocassionally. I watch Fox News sometimes just to make sure I get several points of view. --- Only then can I try to draw intelligent conclusions.
By the way --- I am an Old Conservative Republican. And yes, I am one of the Greedy ones that want to have more money than I can spend in 1000 Lifetimes. --- Please be nice and Pay all my expenses. I think my Tax Rate should go to Zero. Poor people don't need money, they just spend it!
Thank you King George Bush and Sir Lancelot McCain for allowing me to pay next to nothing in Taxes. stock Dividends allow me to get around Capital Gain Requirement. --- See you later, Sucker!
i agree with you tom regarding the double standard. this is one of my pet peeves. if there was a wet(white entertainment television), miss white america, naawp (national association for the advancement of white people) etc. etc. each of these would be considered blatantly racist. it's only ok to be racist if you're black... so sad, it is profit that is really driving racism.
JERUSALEM – The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.
The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.
Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.
Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.
Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year.
The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."
It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens.
The AAAN in 2005 sent a letter to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in which it called a billboard opposing a North Carolina-New Mexico joint initiative to deny driver's licenses to illegal aliens a "bigoted attack on Arabs and Muslims."
Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an anti-Israel line.
The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, "The Subject of Palestine," that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" of Israel's founding in 1948.
According to the widely discredited Nakba narrative, Jews in 1948 forcibly expelled hundreds of thousands - some Palestinians claim over one million - Arabs from their homes and then took over the territory.
Jerusalem Post----
Black americans actually think white america is pulling for Obama based on his views. Many white democrat voters have this feeling of obligation becuase all we hear is how oppressed black americans are on a daily basis. Slavery died years ago. Let it go. I wasn't born then, and no black americans on this site were either.
TONY: You need some meds. You'll have to have a huge coffin to bury you with all your "things". Guess you don't care much where you wind up.
TONY you are nuts...pull your head out buddy. You make all us liberals look bad. I watch other stations also that is how I realized (like I have said) the press is teating Obama like a 14 year old student counsel canidate. But just keep believing what you want, just let the press tell you what to think....it will be a good warm-up for when Obama becomes president.
If Obama was indeed a Muslim at one point in his life, but now he denies it, he is considered a Kafir. I think that might mean he's an infidel.
Tony....you must not have read any of my previous comments. Not all of us are bitter racist some people are...but just like the rest of the far left you only pick the few things that support your side and ignoring the rest because you can't answer to it
WHAT THE HELL !!!

ALSO TONY....the top 1% pays nearly 38% of all taxes and the upper 20% pays over 90% of the tax load....but again you keep buying into what you are told...take your medicine: the rich never pay anything....Bush hurt the poor and gave money to the rich who don't pay their fair share: their you go now you can lie down and go to bed....the goverment will take care of you
Hopeful,...Obama's own campaign continues the race debate. If you believe all those things you so greatly placed in CAPS how do you feel Obama will fix them????He hasn't said. Voting for hope isn't an issue....it is not a solution
hopeful - there's an old saying it says, " be careful what you wish for-you just might get it!" obama ....oh no oh!
A Christian??? I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear with my earlier post. When I said I've been reading my Bible more, I meant specifically from Revelations and prophecies about the end times. Because I don't trust this man, and am trying to see what God's Word can tell me. This topic has nothing to do with abortion, and I have no desire to get into a debate with anyone on it. But, just so you know, I am in favor of the unborn baby having a choice. I believe the man and woman who created it already made theirs. Again, I'm not wanting to get sidetracked by a debate on that issue. Besides, God, not me, is the only one entitled to judge those who do have an abortion.
eye5454: Good Points!!!They had the stats on tonight about what income level paid what taxes. So many people want tax breaks when they aren't even paying taxes. We are under the $40,000 a year mark depending on business naturally (self employed) and we make it and have all we need. We are 60 so have worked hard, paid our bills, gone through hard times, but made it through. What often gets me mad is that they say the tax breaks go to the rich but their the ones paying the taxes. DUH! If someone making under $40,000 a year doesn't pay tax and than also gets money back at tax time, why is that not good enough. Why should the people, including myself, who pay less taxes get MORE money back! It should be measured on what you pay in not what you "want". Stupidity and Greed!
To the person that wants to pull out of the war. How many people are murdered in America every day? It's a hell of alot more than the 4000+ that have been killed in Iraq in 8 years. If you knew how stupid you sound. And don't think that I don't care about our men and women over there. I have family fighting that war and they are proud of what we do and why we do it. Don't you think that the people that are there know a little more about what is going on than you?
DUFUSWARNING.....This man made his money showing his people as dancing, dope smoking, butt shaking ignorant talking gun carrying fools. This is a man that had/has the opportunity to show all of America what positive contributions and intelligent people we African Americans are. This is the guy that fired one of the great Black American talk show hosts, Tavis Smiley, because he wouldn't toe the yassah boss line. I don't have a lot of respect for him regardless of the amount of money he has made off of the backs of "his" people.
IOWAN: Your wrong about your involvement. VERY VERY WRONG. The man or woman you vote for, who believes in the killing of the unborn, is a responsibility which lay on all of our shoulders. Your sticking your head in the sand. God doesn't want us to do that. Ignore me and I'll ignore you. He wants us to stand up for the injustices. I feel sorry for your thinking. Some of you just don't want to deal with those "uncomfortable" things. A real Christian DOES deal with them. Don't use the old "judge not" passage. Thats a wimps way out of doing what you need to in the Name Of God.
To: Hopeful.............We are all hopeful, and YES WE CAN.........we just can't do it with Barack Obama.............He does not even have enough experience to know when his advisors are leading him down the garden path........
I wish that some of these things about Senator Obama had been known at the time of the caucus in Iowa. I think that the outcome might have been different. It is scary,to think of having a loose cannon as First Lady and an anti-American pastor visiting the White House. Noticably, all the black people were standing for Obama at my caucus site.
dwight barber: So does Wright. I had no idea what went on black churches. Our group of Baptist Churches are run by a Black Man. He's in control of over 100 Churches. No such vial and filth from his mouth. People like Wright use you all to richen his life and make money. Keep you stirred up, filled with hate, anger and anti-white sentiments. We (typical white people)always got blamed for being racist. I've changed my opinion entirely since hearing the rantings of that mad man. I hever owned a slave, have never done anyting to anyone of color. I take much offense to wright and obama's latest comments meant to demoralize those of us who Love God and live in rural America. I don't care what color he is I don't Want him as MY President
Dear Alankeys4pres.....I don't know if you are right or wrong about me but....although I am a life long Democrat and probably would never vote Republican, I did take the time to do homework and listen to Mr. Keys and came to the following conclusion: I think he is a real stand up guy who speaks his mind and is probably too Republican for most Republicans. Against my own emotional feelings I like him...not because he is black but because he is sincer and stands for his beliefs...something that is refreshing in this age of politics.
I have found that only in the U.S. do people place so much attention on "race." I think some people can't help it. It's all around in print and television; exacerbated by the want for ratings and subscriptions. There are so many arguments on both sides regarding this question of why Obama is where he is now. If he was "white" this, because he is "black" that. Since Jesse Jackson's run in 1988, there has been no emphasis on "race" in Presidential elections; that is until another non-"white" showed up as a real contender. People in the U.S. talk such a good game about being "race" neutral. "Slavery is over, we had nothing to do it, get over it, I'm not racist, I get along with everyone, I'm tired of "blacks" blaming "whites" for their problems," and on and on and on. So what if a "black" candidate has fostered a renewed vigor in political participation among "blacks" in the U.S. and may be a potential champion for minority America. "Whites" didn't throw their arms in the air questioning why "white" candidates received the majority of the "white" vote in elections past, regardless of a candidate's shortcomings. I do believe the election of the U.S. President is not something to be taken lightly, but with careful scrutinization of the issues and concerns that will affect the future of all (that is if you care about all, and not your own). But what I see is not a careful scrutinization of the best person for the job but more reliance on spoon fed thoughts and influence by sound bites and shock value. I could be completely wrong about my aforementioned assertions, but I am glad they are not based on polls, online voting questions, and media commentary. I don't believe any President should be elected because of his or her "race." The interesting thing is that such a notion is never contemplated until a non-"white" candidate emerges. Feel free to disagree and comment as I suspect some may. I try not to generalize and I enclose certain words in quotes because of my understanding that "black" and "white" is a race construct created in the U.S. which continues to permeate through just about every facet of American life, no matter how far removed people feel from the days of slavery of Africans or the Civil Rights Movement. I would love to feel like the U.S. has moved beyond color/"race" on all sides and can vote on a Presidential candidate based on the best person to tackle the hard issues the U.S. faces, but that just hasn't happened. I realize that Obama is of mixed ethnicity; however, if he was considered "white" the question above may never have been an issue.
dwight barber - I hope your "DUHHHH wasn't a condesending one to my post. My comment "So, the race issue runs deeper than just surface politics." (and/or a vote because of race not politics/policies as you alledge in your remarks comparing Keyes) - was not a condsending one, and had more meaning than a simple surface comment insinuating you were not aware of same. If your supposition were true - the same blacks (large majority) that would vote for Byrd (D) over Keyes as a Republican - would still vote for Byrd against Keyes if Keyes were a Democrat. I am quite certain that would not happen. Where is the logic in an action like this? - It refutes your point. Party allegience is evident in both parties. But, I submit illogic is more evident in the Democrat party. I grew up in a large sourthern conservative Democrat family/relatives - who would never consider voting anything but Democrat. To clarify - they are strongly against abortion, gay marriage, giving condoms/birth control pills/young sex education in schools, ect.. - have a strong religious emphysis, are for prayer in school, punishment in school (old school type) gun ownership rights, ect, ect, - yet, will continue to vote for Democrats that push for the opposite. Just boggles the mind!
I agree 100% but the blind voters don't see through his smoke screen. The real true Obama has started to come out almost daily over the last month. yet the younger generation who want change are blinded by the smooth talking modern day Charles Manson. Young people rally behind him but for get to check out his history in politics. He has no history in politics he just got elected in September of 2004 less than 4 years ago. Think about it do you really want a rookie as the president of our great nation. Hillary has more time in congress then Obama has in his entire political career. I have said it before and it is still a fact if Obama is the name on the ticket in November I will vote for McCain because Obama surely has a hidden agenda that is frightening to all of us. He has not denied the fact the he was sworn into office not on the Holy Bible, but the Keran was used. Then you have his wife as first lady she is proud of america for the first time in her life. Why because her husband is getting the black vote? What would she have said if he would have got less votes than John Edwards? Iwould love to be the fly on the wall during that conversation. Enough for now. Pennsylvania please send the message to all the super deligates on the 22nd of April by casting a vote for Hillary Clinton. Thank you all. GOD BLESS AMERICA the land that I LOVE
That the youth are more prone to following a liberal is as old as the ages. Winston Churchill said it best when he was asked about this facing him saying (para) "if your not a liberal at 20 you have no heart. If your still a liberal at 40 you have no brain"
Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim born, converted to Christianity 20 years ago when he joined Jeremiah Wright Trinity Church. I beleive Barack Hussein Obama is an Jihad Infiltrator. Remember 9/11, those 9 terrorists attended flight School in Orlando, Fl it took 7 years planning to attack the World Trade Center in NY killed 3,000 of our people they were black, white, hispanics every walk of life. Their mission was to learn how to fly commercial airlines THE TAKE OFF ONLY - WITHOUT LANDING - The Flight School were confused? but no questions were asked. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS SAME MISSION , it took few years for Barack Hussein Obama to filter in the USA politics. Where those Millions of Dollars poured in his campaign is come from? Those millions will put him in the WHITE HOUSE NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES! LYING, FAKE CHARM, GOOD SPEAKER, PROMISE EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. HIS AROGANT CHARACTER AND VIEWS FOR THE AMERICANS THAT WE ARE STUPID, NAIVE, HILLBILLIES, LOW IQ, RACISTS, WE kleen to our religion, guns, anti-immigrant, anti-sentiment and so on. What do you expect from a born Muslim and an ethiest typical white mother? He is not an AMERICAN!!!! He was born in Honolulu, Hawai went to Kenya as a child lived with his mom and 3 other step moms, divorced went to Indonisia and remarried a second Muslim who raised Barack in Muslim Religion. His father married to 3 wifes the Quran permits Polygamy, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS A HUGE FAMILY ALL OVER KENYA, INDONISIA AND 13 OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE HIS MOM RESIDED ACCORDING THIS HIS HALF SISTER. Democracts and Republicans need to agree that Barack must drop out of the race now! Black and White Americans are under one Sacred Nation. Barack Hussein Obama is not Black or White he is a racist, created a chaos in our Beautiful Country his objective is to achieve a mission to obtain THE HIGHEST POSITION IN THE WORLD so he can hand our USA Country to the Muslim world were he grew up. He is not AN AFRICAN AMERICAN he is an outsider he can go back to INDONISIA and help to Genocide the Africans in Darfur, Sudan. Muslims do not like Blacks it is well known worldwide, why our Black citizens do not see that? WAKE UP AMERICA LETS BE VIGILANTE WITH THIS MUSLIM BORN ENEMY!!!

All of us (democratic voters in this primary) are being "classified" by the people who head the democratic party. They are discussing which voter class is most important to appease. They are discussing behind closed doors that they do not want to lose the votes of young people or the mass of black voters. Old dems, new dems, women, poor dems, rich dems are all being sorted and classified by the democratic leaders as to whose vote is the most important. The value of each is being weighed and placed in hierarchy. Shouldn't each vote be of value to the party leaders without consideration or race, gender, age or economic status? We are the democratic party. The leaders are partially responsible for making the STUPID decision not to count the primaries in FL and MI. I hope that Robert Johnson is not attacked for his stance by the black community that overwhelmingly supports Barack Obama who essentially has the same platform as Hillary Clinton, a person who has stood up for African Americans for many, many years. . Both sides of supporters (Barack's and Hillary's) are intense and step over the line at times. In my experience the Obama supporters are out of control rude to people who support Hillary. I have not made one demeaning, antagonistic remark to an Obama supporter. In my community, I have been called by local Obama supporters because I am a Clinton rep. They hang up on me. Now, the present is the only time that we can have Barack for our candidate ((both he and his wife have said this). What arrogance. We started out wanting both candidates. We should have been able to have both. I blame Barack's arrogance for the whole disaster.
AND I'AM TIRED AS HELL OF FOX MISREPRESENTING MICHELLE OBAMA'S

MR.JOHNSON,BET WHO CARES , HE IS NOT HELPING ANYONE OF US KEEP
ANYTHING WE HAVE WORKED FOR!! BE GONE !!
It's about time the news realized obamma was racist.
Why can blacks vote for a candidate for no other reason than he is black and that is ok, but if you vote against him for no other reason than he is black you are a racist? Seems like a double standard. The black community as a whole doesnt care what Obama stands for, they are voting for him only because he is black.
Hey are you Guys forgetting early in the game that Obama had more White support and the public was wondering when the Black community was going to support Him?
ABSOLUTELY !!! But, if this view comes up, anyone NOT African-American is viewed as racist, instead of just speaking the truth. Also, a side note...if my pastor had such opposite views about such important issues, (and even if I did miss alot of services,I would DEFINITELY be aware of these from someone who plays such an important role in my life), I would NOT be at that particular church any longer. This is TOO IMPORTANT OF AN ISSUE TO JUST "PASS OVER"!!!
Didn't you wonder when so early in the race all the media and Obama supporters were screaming for Hillary to get out of the race, even before Ohio and Texas? The fact is, the more media outlets like Fox have time to vet Obama, the more damaging things come out about him, and the less and less he becomes the great "uniter" and man of "change" that he claims to be. I am one of the 29% of Hillary supporters who will never in a million years vote for this fraud to become the next leader of the free world. And if the DNC thinks that our feelings for this man will mitigate from now to November, they are also drinking the famous Kool-Aid. Never Obama, never.
It's true and I am one of the few black people that would acknowledge this. Most black people hadn't ever heard of Obama until he ran for president. If you ask them what state he came from or any record about him they don't have any answers. I am not fooled by Obama's rhetoric, I didn't vote for him in the primary here in FL and I won't vote for him in the general. Because I am black doesn't obligate me to vote for Obama (sorry mom), Dr.King didn't die for that.
He has also gotten fewer white votes because he is black. If you are gonna say color makes a difference, keep in mind that there are 6 times more whites than blacks in America.
lets forget about who we like! Lets get back to the fundamentals of who's best for our country's principals. It seems like people have forgotten why this country was formed in the first place. We can perhaps repair or amend but when it comes to change there is nothing better than Democracy! Let's get with it!
I am amazed at how many people out there are falling for this type of rhetoric and polling. Let us not forget the statistics on the number of black people who were voting for Clinton in the beginning. I am a white woman from Minnesota and all of you need to recap on the number of white people who voted for Obama and the reason for that is because of who he is, not his color! The media loves to spin this and make this sound like a black and white issue, well it is not. Those that make it so, are the ones that need to take a look at themselves. Obama is gaining votes when he has a chance for people to get to know who he is......This is getting very old!!
Why it has to be a white or black issue, if you were to take his blood and put it into a nother human or heart once same type it would function, it wouldn't be rejected because of the color of skin, my God the man is from black and white tries not to wear the black on his sleeves, fit into the community he felt most comfortable in and all of you included Greta because she keeps on this topic, won't give it up, are all bitter. He is educated like others I want an educated president also. I know it burns Greta's heart to see a Black + White man any where near the white house, I don't see her negative w/ Hillary.
It took courage for Mr. Johnson to speak out the truth and I see now that his own race is turning on him for it. Thank you Mr. Johnson, your character is the kind of character we had hoped OBAMA was in the beginning but finding out he truly is a snob, condescending and dangerous if he is nominated. Perhaps Hillary should chose you for Vice President, you tell it like it is as she does. Thank you
I checked yes as I am from Illinois and am familiar with Mr. Obama's record and qualifications. He has outstanding speaking abilities, is very intelligent, and carries himself very well. Unfortunately, his lack of experience is coming through in his comments.
Bill Clinton put his wife's candidacy in the ditch with his comments, Hillary Clinton has talked her way into trouble time and time again, and Obama has now stumbled over his very smooth tongue as well.
I suggest that with his very vanilla record, he should first start being the senator from Illinois and prove that he is worthy of re-election in that role first. I believe he has performed at the very bottom of the senate as he has been preoccupied with running for president ever since his speech at the last convention. I am tired of only having one senator. Obama needs to perform for the next three yearsin the job that he has, get re-elected as senator, and then serve for the following six years. Come to us with a candidacy based on a performance based record.
At this point, he is a failure as our junior senator in my opinion. He has not provided leadership, he has not been responsive in certain areas of his responsibilities (where I have direct knowledge), and has had a very unremarkable performance as a senator. How can we reward poor performance with our votes?
Comment for: TYPICAL WHITE WOMAN @1:26a
Why is it that all you Obama's supportes result to calling people a racist the moment someone questions him?
Similar to the jury that wouldn't convict OJ. It matters not to some that B.Hussein Obama has absolutely no experience, and that he is totally UN qualified to be President of our great country. They (obama supporters) are blinded by their predjudices and perceptions so much that they forget what makes this country great, and are willing to let America FALL.
What's up with lisa, she needs to be commited or needs to stop taking FIXED NEWS seriously. I just watch it for laughs. Uncle..I mean Mr. Johnson's comment is highly insulting. Barack Obama is a self made success, he did not need a to marry rich to advance his carrier like McCain.
There are better candidates running for president of the US. Why does the media, including FOX, not let any of the others have any air time. We hear nothing of these other candidates. Such as Ron Paul, Alan Keyes, Wayne Root. How many others?? who knows because the media won't tell anyone bout them.
Let America decide. When did the media start deciding for "the people" who we would get to vote for? I find it outrageous that all persons running for president do not get media coverage!
Please, remove head from anal sphincter, then observe what‘s going on. Barack Obama is intelligent and eloquent and speaks the truth about the situation of our country right now. Something we are unaccustomed to hear coming from a politician's mouth in America. While it is undeniable that people may vote for him solely because he is black, just how some people may vote for Hilary Clinton solely because she is a woman, and some may vote for John McCain solely because he is republican and a veteran. However, the reasons to vote for Hilary and McCain do not equal the authenticity of Obama and his words. The truth is hard to swallow.
Ps. Hope is truly my name, it just so happens to also equal what Barack means to this country.
The gig is up for Obama.
I do not agree with the comments made by most of the people here. Mr Obama is doing good not because he is a black man, but because he is an extremely good speaker. I remember the speeches given by John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Obama's style is almost like the Kennedy's and people like it. If an unknown white man or woman (not Hillary) could give speeches as well as Obama and not be associated with the evils of political Washington D.C.,(like Hillary and McCain) he or she would do as well. Giving great speeches is not enough, we need someone who is best for the country and not themself. Sorry but the three candidates we have to choose from are all bad. McCain does not know much of anything except foreign policy, we do not know enough about Obama to choose him and we know too much about Hillary, that why we should not vote for her. It is going to be a long four years when one of these candidates become president!
I agree Lisa is definetly strange.
I believe Geraldine Ferraro's and Robert Johnson's comments are extremely racist when you look at OBVIOUS and cold hard facts, and not racist fears. The black vote is obviously split within the Democratic Party, with some even supporting McCain. Black people only make up less than 15% percent of the American population. If every last one of them voted for Obama, and none of the other races, he would have had to drop out of the race already. I am so tired of these comments, and the fact that we buy into everything people say without thinking things through for ourselves. Sometimes I think racism is so prevalent, that we don't see how insensitive we are. This campaign is becoming ridiculous.
It's about time that African Americans who are successful and educated are speaking the truth about this topic. Obama has no real substance. The only thing we know for sure that is true about him is that he is half black and half white....!!!! He can't be trusted to run this country..I would like to start a petition to recall him from his day job...He has no business running for President while we pay his salary...He is clearly anti-american, anti-white and anti-jew..He is also an elitist which has been obvious for anyone who wants to see if for at least a year...Shame on main stream news media for not doing the great objective job that Fox News is doing...
Comment for PAT @ 1:40a
WOW! what news have you been watching. The black vote is not split, it's overwhelmingly for OBAMA. By the way I'm black sir, and happen to be honest enough to agree with Mr.Johnson.Does that make me a racist?
It would be nice if the Black people could see that yes the past was not good but if their own people hadn't sold them, they would still be in Africa where there's Aids, Maleria(sp) and maybe no place to even lay their heads. Could it be a blessing their in AMERICA? I believe Black people are much more racist than White people and I'm just sick of hearing it. You Blacks have just as much an opportunity to succed if not more than the White race. You have the NAACP, your United Negro Fund, your all Black Colleges. Give me a break, I'll be glad to buy the Boat and SEND YOU HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to go up and read what Lisa wrote. Lisa sounds derranged. (Sorry Lisa) but you appear to be nuts. Your piece is like a twisted Harry Potter chapter with Barack being Voldemart. Are you for real? Can you even comprehend that there are good Musllims???
Again, I repeat, let's start a petition to RECALL Obama from his day job..He is not fit to be in public office..Greta or Sean you should try to interview Bob Johnson..Finally someone besides Fox News who speaks the truth...The left wing democratic party has finally succeeded in lowering the bar by sitting back and watching the incredible racism in the Obama campaign and being too cowardly and marxist to stand up and be patriotic to this great country. In my opinion the main reason he won South Carolina is because his staffers put a spin on some words spoken by Bill Clinton...(by the way who was and always will be thought of the FIRST black president....Racism is the thread that has propelled Obama's campaign forward....Americans better wake up before it's too late..I have never voted republican but this year I will be voting for McCain- a true patriot.
Here we have a very young, charming, and attractive person of color who also has the ability to give a stirring speech. This has never happened before! It doesn't matter that he doesn't have much experience or a resume of achievements. It also seems that he can do no wrong. Obama followers are voting with their emotions, not their objective reasoning. He is a present day youthful and black Pied Piper with astounding appeal, and we are all in danger of getting a president with a big agenda and no clue. Please tell all these people to "WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!"
Vicki is a little strange as well...
I am a 30yr old white male from Pa.I agree with the both of them. I do not deside whom i will vote for because of rase, religien, ect. But what do i know I am just a typical white person cleanning my shot gun clinging to my christian beliefs. My great great grandfathers who had fought and died in the civil war for the union against thier confeterate reletives would love to know our government created HIV to eliminate blacks. I'm sure if they had known that unfact that they wouldn't have torn thier families apart fighting for the end of slavary. I am tierd of hearing about afro americans, mexican americans WE ARE ALL AMERICANS!!!!! Nothing before it nor after Just AMERICANS. And we need to vote for anyone who still believes in this dream. The french may have dreamed up liberty But we are the ones that put it to work and gave it to the world. I grew up learning not to hate anyone, from my family, my preacher. so why dose rev wright preach hate. My preacher would never dream of nor what to say anything like this man has spewed from his pulpit. I take offense to the things that Obama and his Rev have said because they are RACIST. I am tired of having the finger pointed at me all because of my skin color and i've never done anything racist. Furthermore my grandfathers who faught for black freedom were they racists too.

Regarding Vicki
Mario, I agree she is "off" also. It is not right to suggest what she has in her recent post. It is offensive. Are the posters here actually real people?
I considered myself a Republican, I changed to Independent, always hated Democrats and would never vote as a Democrat, after seeing Obama's Biography on 360 tonight, and after he spoke out about bitternes, and he explained his economic plans, and also after watching the MEDIA tear him apart I realized that's what I am feeling and it felt like he was speaking to us, by the way our salary is way over 300,000 per year. I belong to a Financial Group of 5000 women and 360 men and when we met last everyone decided to change their vote for Obama and we contributed so far $2000 each, we're also going to Boycot BET TV, keep talking about Obama guys "Where energy flows attention goes" did you ever wonder why the person most disliked in a election always wins. "Energy flows attention goes". Our kids admire you Obama, you are a living Martin Luther King. The more they spend talking about you giving you the energy, we call each other with excitement, we feel all the energy, keep on him guys, keep the energy going on him. By the way The BET Billionaire has been promised a big position in the White House by Hillary, so the two hill billys (PA mayor) will bash anything to get a position, wise up guys, Obama gets white votes not black votes, we all are white.
Typical White Woman
It is a worthy and admirable endeavor to support your candidate in prose-to be someone who is involved and passionate. Bragging about your income and groups you belong to make it seem like your opinion is more important that others is elitist. Let's all just fight and through a fit because we want our candidate and only our candidate or else (NOT). Threats are not attractive expressions of thoughts and feelings. If you were really truly a republican would you be voting for the most liberal candidate ever??? Do you know what the rebublican party stands for?
Vicki, I surmise that you must really feel a lot better after your post. You are a testiment to my iteration that some people cannot move beyond "race" and/or "black" and "white" for that is all they know due to a clouded perception of history and the present. But then again, you may just be "bitter."
Senna, is it because I used Black and White? Can't we move past the PAST, MY GENERATION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY, we are all equal, bleed the same color. What I didn't say was if your a Christian why would you vote for a canditate that is pro-choice and pro-gay? I will say that if Colen Powell were to be running he would truly be my canditate for sure.
O for over.....Obama is finished....Not because he's black and not because Fox News does their job and reports the news-he's finished because he doesn't know what he's doing......He is looking lately like a sheep being led to slaughter....He has used his bi-racial ethnicity for decades....When it's convenient he is "black", when it's convenient, he's "white" when it's convenient he's an Elitist......Without a teleprompter he can't string two sentences together without saying uh uh uh. The only change he's really interested in is his income potential...After this debacle he will write a book, Oprah will put it on her reading list and he'll take a sabbatical with Uncle Jeremiah...Laughing all the way to the bank.....The jokes on you America....We've been taught for years- you are who you associate with.... and Obama is.....nothing surprising about this at all- except that it came too late to affect the caucases. I would love Fox News to ask this poll question.
Addressing it to anyone and everyone who voted for Obama in their state's caucus. Would you vote for him now that the truth has come out? O for OVER...Obama is finished.!!!!!!
If Obama really wants to bring people together (different races, etc.) why has he been going to a black congregation church for 20 years? The churches I have attended for seventy-some years have always had a mixed race congregation. We have all enjoyed worshiping together, and pay no attention to race. We greet with a hug all we see.
Another point, there are no all-white churches. If black folks weren't welcome, it just wouldn't be allowed. And I just can't understand why black folks want an all-black church. This is just inviting racism.
So why should a presidential candidate who claims to be running because he wants to bring us all together go to an all-black church if he is sincere?

So Sad, you talk as though I am supporting Barack, or in some way supporting abortion. Let me say again, I DO NOT TRUST HIM. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. It sickened me when he and Hillary and John Edwards told how disappointed they were that partial birth abortion was not going to be legalized. As far as me sticking my head in the sand, I have actually stood outside of an abortion clinic and peacefully protested. But, I know a few people that have had abortions. I'm not going to air their personal lives here, but I stand by my earlier comment about judging. I don't condone that choice, but I do things wrong every day, so instead of shunning those people, I pray for them and ask that others pray for me. What makes me or you better than someone else? We are all lost. I believe Jesus when he said he who is without sin cast the first stone, and to love our enemies. So, I take this to mean to show them Christ's love in whatever way I can, and to pray for them. Yet, You judge me from a few sentences I've written on here, as to how I vote, or live -that is So Sad.
For at least the last 100yrs the presidents in america have been white men.So my question is were they president because they were white?It seems to be that it is obvious that obama is African-american,so who is it that does not know this.Know ever mentions that Hilary Clinton is a white woman,why is that?It has become clear that their are some forces that need to racialize this campaign in order to play on peoples fears and emotions.What a cheap shot.However,i am not surprised,in fact i am not even surprisednby Uncle Bob Johnsons' player hating rhetoric.In fact i think that he is jealous of obama and that he also owes some politcal favors and the people that he owes are calling in the debt.Sorry that i had to expose you uncle Bob,but you deserved it.What is really funny is that the Clinton campaign really think that everybody is dumb,they are actually the ones who are leading the color obama the "black canidate campaign"along with certain fair and balanced segments of the media community and think that we donot know this.My next question is,isn't it true that obama had no say so in his ethinicity?The "CREATOR" of all life,that we call "GOD" did create OBAMA the human being and is actually pleased i believe with his color and i do believe does not judge obama on color but on merit.So when whites were overwhelmingly voting and in some cases were the only people that could vote in america,were they voting for the Presidential canidates because of merit ,because they were white guys' or because the only choice they had were white men?i'm confused what were the reasons?So why does OBAMAS' ethnicity really keep coming up?So african -americans are not sophisticated enough to vote for a canidate based on character and merit.Well i guess thats what whites have been doing for the last 100yrs when all of the presidential canidates were white men,they ignored the fact thatthese guys were whit and based their decisions on chracter and merit.Give me a brake.In fact the birth of affirmative action was born back doing the time when all you had to do to qualify was to be a well connected white male ,thats all it took to qualify,and that is a fact.In fact the womens ' feminist movement and the Gay rights movement piggybacked off of the backs the most exploited and oppressed group and in this country namely African-americansand that is a fact too.Those racist statments by uncle bob and geridenene fararro {spelling may be incorrect}can be turned around easily.For example,i can say that african -americans were only enslaved because of their color and that economics was merely a secondary reason.Look people the racial thing is not going to work,people are more sophisticated in their thinking today.Trying to play the fear card by constantly bringing up the GOD created fact that he is Black is really an insult to peoples' intelligence.If we are going to play that game then lets mention the fact that hilary is a WHITE woman and mccain is a WHITE man.Lets constantly repeat it over,and over,and over,and over again because no know that they are white right.Hilary is WHITE,hilary is WHITE,hilary is WHITE,hilary is WHITE,Mccain is WHITE,mccain is WHITE,mccain is WHITE, so you can see where this thing goes if this continues.I donot think that the "CREATOR will be pleased if we keep this racial hatred stuff up because he created all of the ethinc groups,right?i believe so.
My answer to the issue of COLOR! Let's clear the slate and make every American equal once and for all . What would happen if we did not have a box for "Minority" on employment applications, college applications, medical records, school records., etc.,
I am not trying to be a smart aleck, so I would appreciate no nasty responses. But, I have a question that I am wondering about. If "Black People" only vote for someone because he/she is "Black," then why didn't Jesse Jackson get farther with his campaign when he ran for President? I haven't seen this brought up in the postings I've read (I could have missed it), and am curious as to people's thoughts on that side of things.
Iowan: Than I apologize for judging you incorrectly. I am so very very upset about abortion and those that vote for people who think its ok. God Bless You for the protest. So many people do not want to go there or THINK about it. While voting for those people that think the killing of the unborn is ok. I am just sickend by it and weep for those children that die at the hands of the devils that kill them. THere are woman, I'm sure, who have had abortions who have asked for forgiveness and God has done so. There suffering is probably great, but there are many who use it as a means of birth control. So many don't want to "think" about abortion when voting. Again I apologize to you and hope you accept that apology.
JustCurious: Good question. I've thought the same about Alan Keyes. Personally, I think its his smooth talking, slick demeanor. When you listen to his words he "SOUNDS" sincere and I think people are mesmerized by his words. He wants people to believe, and they do, he is their savior. The BIble speaks of men like this. Someone on this blog, who lives in Illinois, said he IS NOT a good senator. I just think that people who have voted for him are thinking without real thought. THey are voting on EMOTION only. Hopefully more of what he really is will keep coming out. His free ride on most news networks is quite disturbing. All have good and bad sides, but except for Fox, we'd NEVER know the bad side. For those of us that use our heads and NOT our emotions to vote, its necessary for us to know ALL THE FACTS. Just my own take on this.
FRED: I so agree! Than people would ONLY be hired IF THEY WERE QUALIFIED! Not like it is now. You can be a big dummy and still get hired over the qualified if you have a certain skin color. We are suppose to be living in a democracy, but somehow, sadly, things have changed. You are punished for staying in school, staying off the welfare rolls, paying your bills, having NO credit card debt, paying your taxes, etc. Money comes pouring from the governments huge mouth if your a deadbeat! I excuse the elderly, the "REALLY" disabled who can't work, and some who have come down with horrible diseases where the govts. help is much needed. For them, I expect my tax dollars to go to help them. But for the LAZY, THE SCHOOL DROPOUTS WHO DON"T WANT TO WORK, THE WOMEN WHO KEEP HAVING BABYS OUT OF WEDLOCK, THOSE THAT SPEND BEYOND THEIR MEANS, NO!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Corrine, you mention how the Bible speaks of men like this. Keeping that in mind, then we know that it may not matter how much comes out about who he really is. Because, like you said, people are mesmerized by him. This is scriptural. It reminds me of the "Left Behind" series of books.
GRETA PLEASE BE THE (VOICE FOR THE PEOPLE) THIS IS THE ONLY NEWS THAT WILL TAKE ABOUT THE GOLDEN CHILD PLEASE SEEN OUR COMMIT TO DNC AND SUPERDELAGATE THEY ARE ALL PULLING THE RUB TO KEEP US FROM KNOWING THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT SEND TO NEWS OUTLET CNN MSBC THE AP THE MEW YORK TIME EVERY ONE MAY BE SOME ONE WLL PICK UP ON THE OH PLEASE PLEASE SEND OUR COMMITT TO CAMP BELL BROWN AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IF YOU SAW THEFORUM YOU SAW HOW UNPROFFESSION SEE WAS
Your so right Corrine...scares me to deadth to think what we will go through if Obama gets into office... I think his supporters are blinded by his smooth talk..Yes everyone wants change.... but Hillary knows how to do it.
LCW & GLENDA: You both know what I'm saying. But maybe your right LCW. Maybe this is what God has declared. Who knows. The Lefe Behind Books are so good. I havn't gone through them all yet. I too am frightened. No other candidate has ever made me feel this way. What upsets me is that some will say its because hes "black", but its so untrue because my husband and I supported Alan Keyes. But Mr. Keyes is TRULY who he claims to be. NOT a wolf in sheeps clothing. Theres something in the pit of my gut that tells me this will be worse than worse if he gets into office. Its in Gods hands, but what frightens me is that he also gave people "free will" and we all screw that up at times!
Here's something else I wonder about. Obama is the "candidate that reaches accross the aisle," isn't that the same thing we heard 8 years ago? Wasn't there a candidate who claimed to be "A uniter, not a divider?" That candidate is now our President, but is this country united or divided? If anyone thinks that the country is divided, then what is the difference between the claims of these two men? Again, I'm not being a smart aleck, and would like to hear people's true feelings on that, not nasty responses.
I agree 101% with Geraldine and Bob.I too am afraid that if Obama and his wife get in that it will not be good for the country and it is not because he is black because when I was growing up I had a lot of black friends and they grew up to be very nice people. Obama Michelle and the Reverand are all racist. Ever since he started to run for president we are all walking on egg shells. Bill Cosby said to stop blaming the whites for the problems in the black community and acting like the victims. I say that we are not responsible for our ancesters and slavery has been done with for a long time get over it.
JustCurious: Just some thoughts about uniting people. I truly think President Bush tried, but again thats my opinion. Think about it. They are just pretty words. You just can't make people believe what you believe. No matter what ANY candidate says or states there will always be division. As a Christian I have totally different views from Obama and Clinton. I will always lean towards Biblical teachings. I'm no where near perfect but I think as a Christian I question my decisions more and at least try and do the right thing. When I don't that little angel on my shoulder whispers in my ear LOUDLY telling me what I did wrong. I think true Christians are bothered strongly by abortion. Obama has lots of pretty words. People kind of fall into his smooth but I believe insincere talk. Does anyone really think he's going to change the minds of radicals? Its not going to happen. I think people WANT to believe it will happen so they start thinking with emotions. Thats NOT the way to think. I have to watch myself because we are all capable of that. Obama reaches across the isle. Look at his voting record. He slipped very slippery like out when there were some important votes. Of course now he can claim he didn't vote for that particular issue. Just look at his record. He has done nothing. I'm not the most intelligent on govt. stuff but just as a high school graduate I know the difference between introducing a lot of bills and the difference between things that ACTUALLY got passed. People really really need to seek the truth. Let your feelings, color issues, and everything go and just SEEK the facts. This is only my opinion. God Bless.
I have been reading clips from Obama's book Dreams from my father. It's an eye opener of anti-white hatred. There is a part about Malcolm X wanting to expunge his white blood from his body. Obama thought about this too. Obama talks about his use of heavy drugs during his teenage years, and we wonder why he has to pause so much today to gather his thoughts before he speaks.
People are being taken in and I wonder why so many of us, 12-13million, can see right through him but the rest cannot? 12% of the population in the U.S. is black, that will not be enough to get him into the White House, but for those who won't vote for McCain this November, and stay home, it might be enough.
Senna.........The attention given to "race" in this Country is created and perpetuated by those who have something to gain by doing so. The Clintons pandered to the blacks in order to gain the majority of their votes. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Louis Farakhan (sp?) and Reverend Wright, make their living by keeping race an issue. Most of us "ordinary" people work together, play together, and pray together, without animosity. Race in America is a business. By the way, lay off Lisa. If you read her message carefully, you will find the value of her words.
hopeful - re to your comment "AND I'AM TIRED AS HELL OF FOX MISREPRESENTING MICHELLE OBAMA'S STATEMENT OF BEING PROUD OF AMERICA NOW!! YOU TRY WALKING IN THE STRUGGLE AND THE HISTORY OF OUR PAST !!" - Yet, the black community continues to cling to the path of, and to the Democrat party. Here's and age old saying that is full of wisdom - If you keep doing what you've been doing, you will keep getting what you've been getting - I submit the change you need is in parties. Instead of just clinging to the entitlement party, while blasting the other. But, on to Michelle Obama - Here is a black woman that had elite schooling - which only few comparitively, are admitted. she makes several hunded thousands of dollars, has attained success that many white, or other color, will never know, has risen to the top rungs in politics in the mose influential, powerful nation on earth, has a beautiful family and life - the best I can tell - and for once she is proud of this country. Give me a break!! This should offend the logic, and intelligence of most, as far as I am concerned.
ALICE & ROY: Good Posts. I agree ALICE. There is much truth in Lisa's comments, however upsetting to hear. But than the truth is always hard to swallow isn't it. If we had started "White Entertainment TV" we'd have the Black community down our throats. Its not a pretty picture, just a truthful one. Sad, very sad. ROY: It was upsetting to me also. Here is a woman whose husband is running for the highest office in a land of plenty and free and she's never been proud of it. Do I want them in "my" whitehouse? NO. Yes, its all of our "whitehouse". The tax paying public. The vote is each of ours, our choice, but as I've said b4 its not only the un-informed that will vote for Obama AND WILL be sorry but also the rest of us who knew better and didn't let our emotions rule out truth. We will suffer also!
Corrine - Thanks. And you beat me to agreeing with ALICE. But, now I get to agree with both of you - a two for one. And it is sad the disconnect in many these days. Not to mention the rush to racist claims from the left. You practically can't say anything about a minority without being called a bigot/racist by them. The only thing funny is watching them eat their own over things that had traditionally been reserved for conservatives/Republicans in this regard. (the chickes have come home to roost, to coin another age old wisdom. In reality though - there is nothing funny about the political correctness run amock by the left. They evidently won't be satisfied until our language is completey sanitized, and santioned by them. That anyone actually believes that the left will stand up against those who "really" want our destruction is frightning. But, will they acknowledge that Europe is turning away from the liberal/left seeing where they are, and are heading. Are you kidding? They praised them in their anti-Americanism and leftwing turn. God help us if they control the whitehouse, congress & house!!
ROY: Boy have I found out about political correctness here. I'm not saying all, but I would say a large number of African Americans will literally attack you if you say you don't like Obama. If we don't like him its because he's black. DUH! Whats almost funny is that they think White people are racist! To me it is amazing that his color is what is deserving of the presidency. My husband and I supported Alan Keyes. I never heard any Black people standing up for him. But we know why Roy. Too Christian and too conservative. They think he is their savior Roy. That this man will take care of all their hurts and woes. Unite all the world. Bring people together. Its almost like brainwashing. Of course look how hitler brainwashed people. It can be done. I agree about our Country. I am so very worried about the democrats controlling everything. These kids who think he's a rock star (he is NO Elvis!) will not be laughing when they find out they will have to work until their 80 years of age. I'll be laughing in Heaven Roy! I heard a college student state, from her own mouth, that the music played by the nominees is often what leads them to THAT person or turns them on to that person; in like words anyway. I was SHOCKED! They should make the voting age 30! To think that "music" plays such a large roll in the choice of the man or woman that runs our country makes me almost sick to my stomach. PS - Thanks for your kind words.
Corrine - There is a logic deficit epidemic in so many these days it is scary. They used to be mocked and marginalized - but, now they are the mainstream in the Democrat party. I posted earlier about so many of my So. Democrat (mostly conservative) relatives that will continue to vote for the Democrats that tear down what they stand for. They can't even have much of a logical debate on issues/politics. And when you confront them with the "facts" (voting records, comments & remarks by their own chosen) they just shut you out. Their mind is closed, it is like a brainwash scenario - facts to them prove nothing - its ideology and party allegiance over everything else. They ignore, and don't get that Hamas and the like (other terrorists and their sympathizers) KNOW that the Democrat party is so full of the leftists, and appeasers like Carter and Soros, ect.. - are pulling for them, funding them to be in power. That they are seen on the world stage as spineless, backstabing, propaganda spewing/buying hypocrits that will be so much easier to demise - than the cowboy, conservative war mongers. Just look at the Iraq/Afganistan situation and the way the Democrats have behaved toward our soldiers, commanders, the reasoning, ect.. (don't even have to go back further in history). When apx 40% of a party believe truthers,kooks, terrorists, morons like Michael Moore, Hollywood elistists ect. (ie 911 was an inside job by Bush/Cheney, ect..) - We have a real problem. *But, don't dare knock their patriotism* and that is what they cry as soon as they are questioned. What counrty in their right mind would have faith in us if we pull out of Iraq/Afghan and turn our back on them? It is just mindboggling how logic is so absent from the left, and so many Dems - accross the board on issues. But, you can't even have a discussion on issues without the desent into the absurd, and attacks, and charges of being a neocon, fascist, racists, an anti-immigrant and minority hating bigot, ect.. - Now they can't even debate amongst themselves because of same. Every word parsed and applied to any possible angle of racism, or bigotry. With only a few slowly coming to grips with this absurdity. But, there is a hate of Republicans/conservatives that many would choose to side with a vile enemy rather than them. Logic defict on sterroids even.
Let's purse for a minute and think! Who is afraid to say that Hillary or the Clintons are where they are because they are whites? Why the fuss about Obama? Americans who are tired of the status quo wants change...change they can believe in. That change, is Obama! The Clintons are the known status quo with over hundred million income. The only thing they are struggling to do is to make a claim, a historical claim, that husband and wife were the first couple to be president, respectively. Maybe Chelsea would run (for president) five years from now to add to the claim. Would this be democracy or a family affair? Is the American democracy hinged on BushClintism? Who told the Clintons their books sold 28 million dollars, were these books food? Even if they were...."so" according to Dick Cheney. Americans give me a break and stop the noise. Have we thought about the fact that Clinton's supporters are mostly whites, but who cares....Obama's supporters are even more whites than blacks...is anyone noting? Why are we so controlled by a press network own by about 6 rich whites who would rescent any shift in power-the status quo? Do we even think on our own? Why crucify and hate Obama for better organization, management skills, honesty, (contrary to the dishonesty of Clinton) ability to deliver and his like-cability?
We should know why Johnson is jealous, but first he's wrong for his comment. He'd had a conglomerate he couldn't manage but sold partly (or in full) at press time, yet scared of running for president like Obama for fear he only knows best. Did Johnson forget that Jessy Jackson and Al Sharpton were/are also African American, like Obama when they ran for president?. Someone should tell him to get his acts together and stop hating or allowing himself to be used. Remember, the divide and conquer slogan! I beg to stop here but note that ordinary Americans are ready for change, and are doing extraordinary things to make it happen. Obama will be the able president that will professionally, honestly and compassionately handle our affairs. He will change our already battered image. The Clintons would be sleeping deep from beer sipping when that 3:00A.M. call rings. So wake up America and do the right thing. Put in the best and get the best in return, Peace!
Most leftist Americans are trying concertedly to use the issues of patriotism in nailing Obama and his wife, Michelle. But does being patriotic imply lying and not tell or face the truth? People tell their truth and it's misconstrued "unpatriotic." Just like the case of Rev. J. Wright. Did his persecutors find time to read the bible to understand the context in which he'd spoken, when does truth became unpatriotic? And was the support granted Bush for his lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq patriotic, or blind patriotism? It was blind patriotism! Today we're all facing the consequences while Bush and his cohorts' standard of living remain unshakeable. The commoners are facing the jackboots of the dictators who thirst and quest for war in their selfish interest. We'd make another mistake with McCain. But I hope we think fast, think right and vote right! Those who prefer to promote and subscribe to lower standards by giving blank checks to elements who are adamant on maintaining the status quo should continue. Those (like us) fighting for change should do it with passion, for change is the only thing that is constant, and the change we're clamoring must start from us!
The time is now to open our eyes and see wonderous things. It's time to come together, stop the fuss and elect a president who care about us and interested in setting up plans to curb the excesses of multinational corporations, (such as Shell Oil, Exxon Mobil, Food and drug processing, automobil, Boeing and other military harddware companies, etc.) whose reckless activities (emission of noxious fossil and other greenhouse gases), which have endanger the global environment, caussing climate change and global warming. We need a good and concerned president that we can work with to protect the already devastated environment from further ruins and/or degradation, not the meddling position of actors like Mr. Bush who is uncommitted as was in his speech on climate change yesterday. We must act now; do it right for our today and the generations yet unborn.
ROY: Everything you said was so true. I hope you come back here to read the above "BEN" & "BEN IKARI". Just sickening stuff. What gets me is their claim to be Christian while endorsing a man who believes the killing of the unborn is ok - why should a woman be saddled with a child she doesn't want? When I heard those words out of Obama's mouth it just about made me want to vomit. These so called "Christians" have no idea but they will one day. Judgement will be quick and harsh. They have no idea about Christ's teachings, but probably use "church" as some means to their dirty end. I'm sorry Roy, but this just makes me more angry than I can say. I just weep for those babys and these people that vote for this filth make me just want to puke! They are mindless people that vote totally on emotion. A 10 year old could investigate obama and see him for what he is. But the Bible speaks of a man such as him and that many will follow. Maybe this is the time. If so its Bible prophecy. I was thinking recently about the Dem party and Repub. party. Its amazing to me that you could believe totally in one or totally in the other. Are people just mindless clones. I voted for Bush. Does that mean I believe in everything he does? NO! My husband and I always always vote the person. I believe the dem party is worse. They all believe exactly the same. As an individual, but only a high school education, i don't get it? Maybe I'm just not too bright. I guess I'm stubborn enough to think for myself and as you can tell quite opinionated. Forgive my ranting please. The baby killing thing just makes me cry and cry and cry.
ROY: P.S. I don't envy your family gatherings. My sister and her husband always seem to vote democratic. Their claim to be of God, well questionable at best. People want to have it both ways. If you are of God, believe in him, than you do as he would wish. I'm far from being a perfect Christian, but its that lttle angel that comes and pokes me when I know I'm doing something I shouldn't. I think we just have more of a conscience. But there are somethings that I just won't do, because of my faith. Obama's rant that small town people "cling" to their faith because we're angry!??????????? What an idiot!!!!!!! "Sorry God". I cling to my faith for love of God and hope NOT because I'm angry. What ignorance. Obama has absolutely no idea about what a real Christian is about OR what small town American is about. Ok Roy. I'm done now. God BLess You & Yours. We'll pray for a McCain victory. He's doing well in the polls and more people I believe are opening up and seeing obama for what he "REALLY" is! AND IT AIN'T VERY PRETTY!
I am a"Garlic nose" Philadelphian. I and my comunity are Hillary Republican. If Mr Obama get nomination, then we will vote for Mr. McCane. We are keeping our mouth shut,low profile and we are not getting involved in Poll. Mr. Como from NY is correct. We the Hillary Republican( we were Regan Democrats). We are hard worker,religious and we do not forget insults. Mr. Wright did said "Italions Crusified Jesus." he was in Millitory so was Timothy Mc Vey. Mr. Obama is supported by Chaka Fataf. He is the nation of Islam. He is racist Philadelphian.We are not stupid Italion.
LOPA FROM PHILADELPHIA: You are a million times better than Wright. Most "normal" people know how racist Wright IS. And he has the audacity to complain about White people. IN FACT the same White people that brought THEM OUT OF SLAVERY. DISGUSTING MAN!
Corrine - Don't sell yourself short - your comments prove you have logic and intelligence - too me anyway. I would take your wisdom anyday over the "intelligencia" that runs rampant on the left - whom claim to be the educated ones, while exposing an ignorance that is stiffling. You commented before about our youth - and you were spot on there as well. Our youth is being indoctrinated in staggering numbers by these leftwing idiots. Our educational system has been controlled by the liberal nitwits for decades - and it's decline is on their shoulders, as they have carried it to where we are today. This is yet another clueless misconception, or diversion, from the left, as they blame Bush again and his no child left behind program, ect... When the bloated, powerful (unionized) entity known as our educational system is so dominated by the liberal elites, and the Democrat party - band-aids have minimal impact. And that is all they have been allowing. There used to be discipline, respect and cooperation in our educational system. The decades of control by the liberals have turned it into a system severely lacking in discipline (teachers beaten up in class) ideology driven indoctrination to the left, whitewashing of history with p.c. madness, condoms and birth control to minors (5th graders even), using cucumbers to practice putting on condoms, no parental notification of sexual matters, including assisted abortions. Racial sensitivity elevated to an absurdness. The police being called on kindergardeners for an "inappropriate" (according to a moron to begin with) touch or comment. Kids can't even play tag in some/many schools, because it is too violent, ect. ect.. - The left/elite/liberal/Dems have brought about this, and yet, have the gall to fault Bush for a failing educational system. But, then we have discussed the logic deficit that seems to run rampant in the left and whom they throw in with. I heard about a situation in Houston where parents became concerened with a 5th/6th grade history/social studies book which seemed to magnify Islam and Mohammad - comparitively. So, I ordered the book - and sure enough, it was true. This book and the company was investigated by conservatives and was found to have an Islamic contributing entity - that obviously was given top billing to spread its lopsided view - all its alledged contributions, ect.. a glowing, preferential treated chapter. I was stunned. And yet, if I question this - I am also a bigot and Islamophobe to these dangerous, leftwing miscreatants. Thank you for your kind remarks, and prayers, and I return the favors. May God bless and keep you and yours.
ROY: We'll take their blows and condemnations Roy, and stick to whats right! I don't give a damn If they don't like my view. They can call us names, etc. but you know what, they can't shut us up!!!!! We'll keep speaking out and maybe if we reach 1 person, its worth it. I'm not implying I'm always right but like I've stated I think the 10 commandments are a good starting point. You brought up school and it brought back lots of memories. We just had the average schools, pretty good amount of kids, no swimming pools, etc. but you know what, I learned my ABC's, learned to read, learned mathematics and graduated. I didn't do too badly in the job market because I wasn't afraid to work. My husband and I are not rich but we have everything we need and more than we deserve. I'm smiling and thinking of what I would have gotten if I would have talked back to a teacher or my dad. I have to admit I got away with more with my Mom but nothing like kids today. We thought a kid sneaking a cigarette was a huge deal. We'd walk home on Friday nights from grade school after a dance in the dark. Tricker treating went on, in the dark, until 9pm or later and the candy ROY! WOW! We'd really rake it in. I wouldn't exchange my childhood for anyones. No cell phones, no vcr's, not money to run all over the place, but boy did we have fun! I rode buses in the city (borrowed a neighbors bus pass) when I was under 11. Can't do that today. Too much violence. Starts at home and you are so 1000% right, in our schools. Sometimes I just don't get it; whats wrong with the 10 commandments. So you teach your kid not to kill, not to steal, not to have sex??? DUH! Well, all these nutty liberals got what they asked for. Now every week you hear of kids killing each other. Not to mention spring break with kids videotaping each other taking their clothes off, having sex and doing drugs. How proud their parents must be. Well, they deserve what they get, but you know Roy all those nutty kids are now nutty voters. So thats where we wind up. The conservative, moral, Christians suffer the consequences of the liberal left. I'm not saying all liberals are without values, but they can't have it both ways. I hear you on all those stupid things kids are called on the carpet for. Like that kid in Wisconsin who drew a cross for art class. But the depictions of satanic figures was just a-ok with that teacher! I remember my Dad stating years and years ago (he's been dead quite a while now) that you almost have to be afraid of holding or hugging your kids. I remember sitting on my Dads lap when I was a little girl (still brings the tears on) and it felt so good to be close to him. Now a days, who knows what someone would say about that! How about changing your childs diaper and cleaning their little bottoms! I remember a movie about a lady taking some pictures of her little child in the buff. She was hauled up on charges. I better hide "my" pictures. Such sick minds. We always thought it was cute when a kid was dried off after a bath and than went running through the house butt naked. But than, most of us aren't perverts just think the bodies God gave us aren't too bad, really pretty awesome. Just not for public display! I am rather dumb struck by that book story. What Are They THinking? Every so called religion but Christianity. I guess that Revelations predicts some of this behavior, I just never ever thought it would be so painful. God Bless!
ROY: Just an added note. If I had a child in school and they were teaching him to put on a condom with a cucumber, I can't even begin to tell you what a stink I'd put up. They'd hate knowing me for sure. Where are the parents? Are they afraid to rock the boat? ROCK IT! Nothing gets changed unless one stands up. My husband's brother is now in the nursing home. They treat him pretty well. BUT, it reallllly helps to be watching and letting them know your watching. I'm always nice and polite but I know at times they'd probably like to muzzle me.
Barack Obama is an Immature man that uses his finger!

Everything we're discussing is the creation of the Clintons. First they alienated the overwhelming African American support that they had. Then they racialized the vote when it went to Barack, calling it "for pride," "wouldn't be where he is if he were white," "real chance to win." each and every one of these descriptions of AA voting first came out of the mouth of Bill Clinton, or his surrogate, Geraldine Ferraro, and it has been perpetuated by his media friends. The reason the Clintons sent out Bob Johnson, to say it again, is because they want to keep talking race until they can motivate white voters to vote racially, for Hillary.
