Au contraire, mon ami. (A little French lingo there to prove I'm not prejudiced against frogs.)
Mike Ditka would have walked all over that muslim-monikered dude like a doormat.
Of course, you're right. But then, if the ILGOP were serious, they wouldn't have stabbed candidate Jack Ryan in the back, in the first place.
To quote one contestant in Republican senate primary, he's only slightly to the left of Mao Tse Tung.
He is an unabshed leftist in the mold of Jan Schakowsky.
Jan Who?
Obama will be Hillary's VP running mate in 2008.
We can only hope.
Elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, Obama was offered a book contract, but the intellectual journey he planned to recount became instead this poignant, probing memoir of an unusual life. Born in 1961 to a white American woman and a black Kenyan student, Obama was reared in Hawaii by his mother and her parents, his father having left for further study and a return home to Africa. So Obama's not-unhappy youth is nevertheless a lonely voyage to racial identity, tensions in school, struggling with black literature?with one month-long visit when he was 10 from his commanding father. After college, Obama became a community organizer in Chicago. He slowly found place and purpose among folks of similar hue but different memory, winning enough small victories to commit himself to the work?he's now a civil rights lawyer there. Before going to law school, he finally visited Kenya; with his father dead, he still confronted obligation and loss, and found wellsprings of love and attachment. Obama leaves some lingering questions?his mother is virtually absent?but still has written a resonant book. Photos not seen by PW. Author tour.
Community organizer? Always a red flag. IMHO.
Agree. I bet that there will be plenty of warts if he were to come under any real scrutiny.

I agree with you that it is the opposite of the way it is reported. Notice black public speakers born after the 1940's the ones that stick out are the ones that are not well spoken. And black rappers,sports stars, comedians,and actors do not count(their craft is not public speaking); Although they may think so.
OBama is not black -- well not completely -- his mother is Caucasian, his father was Negroid and his step-father is Indonesian (so a Caucasian-Mongoloid mix)
But sure can play both sides of the fence very well esp. in politics where demagoguery butters the bread.
