On the question Is America ready for a Black President? I think we need to first ask if Black America is ready for a Black President.
It seems that no one in politics can go five minutes without sticking a foot in the mouth, or without someone else doing it on their behalf. Geraldine Ferraro made a comment about Obama being ahead only because he is black, firmly placing her foot inside Hillarys mouth. And this week, a few news services finally picked up on what is in fact a very old story about the very racist and anti-American teachings of Jeremiah Wright, who is the former preacher at Chicagos Trinity United Church of Christ. He has been Obamas pastor for 20 years.

Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan. 

When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obamas deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.
Wright says that blacks cant be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesnt salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.

He hopes. Been his strategy all along: avoid all tough questions and not commit on any of the issues.
Oh yeah, and tell everyone that you represent change while avoiding questions and not committing on the issues.

They've played this lunatic ranting and screeching on the news a few times today.
Every time I hear it, I'm never sure whether to laugh or cry.

Finally figured out what “riding dirty” means. Thanks to Obama’s pastor. Imagine a pastor — LOL!
We are fan of Weird Al — love his “White and Nerdy” parody.

“It would be IMPOSSIBLE for any caucasian person or any person of color who doesnt embrace leftist ideology, to criticize the policies of an Obama administration without either being labeled a “racist” or an Uncle Tom.
The election of Barak Obama (or any other Marxist, Leftist black), would only serve to FURTHER EMPOWER shake-down artist, race-baiters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the ACLU, et.al., ad nauseam.
That is THE number one reason why Obama will NEVER get the votes of sober-minded, intellectually honest people who love America, and care about whats in the best interest of ALL of her people.
Only conservative persons of color / minorities wouldn’t attempt to play that race card, or any of the other class-envy cards. Those are the only ones who could be seriously considered as candidates for the highest office and next highest office in the land.
And let’s not forget that Mrs. Clinton has been associated with Marxist Left race baiters for at least 40 years - a lot longer than the 20 years Obama spent associating with them.

About nukes and Japan.
Anyone, who thinks we could have taken Japan with conventional weapons is an idiot.
Think Iraq is tough? Japan would have been a hundred times tougher with millions of casualties including Japanese civilians.
And the Russians were preparing to attack Japan, too. Would have been another East/West Germany. And we know where that left Germany.
Japan ended being an economic superpower and an valued ally of the U.S.
Wright is an idiot.

You are correct in everything but one comment:
“Wright is an idiot.”
He is a smart, shifty, racist manipulator.

Does her royal thighness have a pastor? Sure she does: Beelzebubba is her pastor, and her holy book is:

Hillary's "bible"
