"We were always playing on the white man's court... by the white man's rules," he writes. "If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher... wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't.... The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage. "And the final irony: Should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors... they would have a name for that too. Paranoid. Militant." Obama has not expressed any regrets for his candor. In a preface to the new edition, he says...

Just about everybody seems convinced that Sen. Barack Obama is going to run for president. The Chicago Sun-Times, his hometown paper, is writing as if his candidacy is an established fact. [Snip] Time out. Let's look at the 1 in 5 chance that even his own advisers say he won't run. [Snip] Left unspoken is the big reason why so many Democrats are swooning over the newcomer. It's the nagging belief that the country isn't ready to elect Hillary Clinton. "If she is the nominee, voters will be asked to select another Clinton, after having had a Bush in the...

Remember back when Rick Warren was adamantly denying that his inviting Barack Obama to his HIV conference had anything to do with politics? Well - if that's the case - why is it that he's now TALKING POLITICS on CNN and sending the message that "Obama's Da Man"?

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich recently urged "every Republican … to look at the reception" liberal Democrat Barack Obama received at a recent event in Boston. Newt believes that the rising interest in Obama tells us more about Americans than it tells us about the senator from Illinois. I am inclined to agree with the former speaker, but for reasons I'll address momentarily. Barack Hussein Obama, D-Ill., sees himself as a symbol of the change Americans want in government. Once again, I am inclined to agree – but this time, for polar-opposite reasons. .................................................. In his mind, the...

When Dick Morris was asked last week on Fox News why he thought Obama is becoming such a rock star, he had a two word answer: 'White guilt'. Morris went on to say, "I asked Clinton back in 2004 why he thought Colin Powell was such an appealing candidate. Clinton attributed it to white guilt". Morris has a point. As Shelby Steele outlined in his book of the same name, "Because white guilt is a vacuum of moral authority, it makes the moral authority of whites contingent on proving a negative." So the rush is on to prove how 'free...

I’ve been out of every conceivable loop for the past few days, and now that I’m back I see that Rev. Rick Warren has done it again. By “it,” I mean Warren has managed to tee off conservatives and Christians. On Dec 15, America’s pastor was on CNN’s Situation Room to discuss his recently concluded AIDS conference. The conference featured 60 speakers, including Republican Senator Sam Brownback and Democrat Senator Barack Obama. The Brownback invitation was uncontroversial and generated no buzz. Obama is the media’s flavor of the month, but he’s also a hard left liberal if you go by...

Daschle: Obama has 'unlimited potential' By MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 9 minutes ago Sen. Barack Obama has "almost unlimited potential" and could be a contender against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said this week. South Dakota's Daschle, who lost his bid for re-election in 2004, said earlier this month that he will not run for president, despite exploratory trips to politically pivotal states like Iowa and New Hampshire earlier this year. He said Monday he believes Clinton, D-N.Y., is the front-runner for his party's nomination,...

He's been on Oprah, Letterman, Leno, "Monday Night Football'' and "The View.'' He's written two best-selling books and made the cover of Time and Newsweek magazines. He's Barack . . . Who? Some 33 percent of Americans say they have never heard of Illinois' Sen. Barack Obama, a likely presidential candidate in 2008, according to a new Gallup poll. Another 14 percent said his name sounded familiar but they didn't know enough about him to have an opinion. Compare that to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: Only 5 percent of those polled said they had no opinion of her -- a...

Barack Hussein Obama: Once a Muslim, Always A Muslim By Debbie Schlussel Many months ago, readers began asking me whether Barack Obama is Muslim. Since he identifies as a Christian, I said, "no," and responded that he was not raised by his Kenyan father. But, then, I decided to look further into Obama's background. His full name--as by now you have probably heard--is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Hussein is a Muslim name, which comes from the name of Ali's son--Hussein Ibn Ali. And Obama is named after his late Kenyan father, the late Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., apparently a Muslim....

U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs. (snip) On gay marriage, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman," Obama said.

President Barack Hussein Obama – it does have a ring to it, doesn't it? Two weeks ago on my broadcast I became the first syndicated voice that accurately predicted how Barack Hussein Obama will become our nation's next president. Rush Limbaugh, TIME magazine, the Los Angeles Times and CNN all seemed quite interested in my thinking on Obama. For those who missed it, there were five reasons: 1. Raging Liberals 2. Disgusted Conservatives 3. Exhausted Moderates 4. Energized Blacks 5. Gullible Evangelicals (Thank you, Rick Warren ...) [SNIP] GULLIBLE EVANGELICALS – AGAIN: If the GOP could swing 15 percent of...

The Deval Patrick era is over. These moonbats are a tough crowd. As the Eagles once sang, they will never forget you ’til somebody new comes along. And now somebody new has come along - Barack Obama, or, as Ted Kennedy once called him, “Osama Obama.” Did you see those crowds for him in New Hampshire on Sunday - it looked like nothing less than the continuation of the Deval-apalooza south of the border here this year. The fine silk scarves, the leather hats, the ponytails - and these are the males I’m talking about. As they listened to Barack’s...

Members of the congregation at Saddleback Church, the church led by Rick Warren, are evidently being ushered right out of membership for voicing any concern over the idea of Barack Obama being allowed to speak at the church recently. I received a lengthy letter from a member of Saddleback this morning that confirmed as much:

Sen. Barack Obama is concerned about his personal security --telling the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board Thursday that he and his wife fear there is a potential for violence -- even if he does not run for president. "Being shot, obviously, that is the least-attractive option,'' Obama said. The Illinois Democrat told the Sun-Times he has concluded a 2008 White House bid "would be viable" and he would have "a pretty good chance of winning the nomination.'' For the first time, Obama talked about the downside of his swelling popularity, before his expected presidential announcement in January, after a vacation in...

THE hottest potential contender for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, has come under scrutiny for his links to a shady businessman over the purchase of his $1.65m (now £845,000) family home in Chicago. After winning extraordinary adulation, the honeymoon period of the senator for Illinois is coming to an end. Obama, a relative political novice, is being mocked for his middle name, Hussein — “like the dictator” as a member of his staff helpfully put it — and pilloried as Odumbo the elephant because of his jug ears. The public is beginning to learn that the charismatic senator...

Barack Hussein Obama. Hmm ... First, with a name like that you can't be elected president of the United States, even if you are chock full of "charisma". Second, you know zero about foreign policy, which would be fine if you were about to run for the presidency of Burkina Faso, but is a major negative if you want to be the commander-in-chief in the U.S.A. in the age of that other Obama ... oops, sorry, I mean Osama. Third, I knew John Kennedy, Mr. Obama (okay, I didn't really), and you, sir, are no John Kennedy. Fourth, you're white...
