gee. Barack Obama. He's the "rising star" of the Democrats because he has an African name, since his father is African from Africa. His mother is white, so he's both black and biracial. And he's truly African-American with an African name.

I've heard him speak too, and am not impressed. I think he's been anointed a rising star because of being African American, African name, etc. He's a good representative of Democrats where style is more important than substance.

Ted Kennedy once called him Osama bin Laden. I guess Ted just didn't know how to pronounce the name of his esteemed colleage from Illinois.

Alan Keyes is African American. But he speaks about substance, with substance. And the Jesse Jagmo's and Al Sharpton's don't like that style.
