Actions speak louder than words & this one will likely boost Obama’s credibility as the Dem candidate with better JUDGMENT to respond to that 3 a.m. phone call.
Hopeful for change in political campaigns, he wants to run a CLEAN campaign...an aide steps across the line, ever so slightly...she is promptly dismissed, sending a strong signal to all other aides that the pre-announced PRINCIPLE, sound & hopeful for American politics, is still in effect & will be enforced.
That’s leadership...unwavering...the likes of which have not been seen in the Democrat Party since JFK...and the likes of which will NEVER be found in Hillary Clinton, Queen of Dirty Tricks, even though a microscope be employed! Advantage Obama...

Sir, why are you chastising freepers for highlighting truths about Obama? And using lynched (as you do now and in prior posts) is your attempt to degrade the highlighted truth.
Twenty years of mentorship/friendship/tutoring cannot be dismissed by half measures of denouncing the words and feigned ignorance of their use while maintaining said friendship/mentorship and church membership.
You may or may not support him, but you’re doing what you accuse others of doing for Hillary.
This man is dangerous and needs to be stopped and I don’t care when as long as he doesn’t get elected to the presidency. Hillary will be addressed as well. All in the proper time.
I'm not chastising any FReepers or using language to degrade anyone else's perspective of the 'truth'...merely expressing my own personal views of the moment, and grateful that Free Republic offers this forum opportunity to do so.
One objective of FR (on the Home Page) is to "...root out political fraud and corruption..." and I know of no greater purveyors of political fraud and corruption than Bill & Hillary Clinton.
I'm an old, white Irishman who knew nothing of the black culture in America until, long ago, I saw the movie "Malcolm X" and was moved to learn more by some of his outrageous rhetoric which, oddly, seemed to carry some elements of 'truth'...
I'll say nothing against [Martin Luther King Jr.]. At one time the whites in the United States called him a racialist, an extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King.
If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
I'm not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American.... No I'm not an American, I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy.... I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of a victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
We're not Americans, we're Africans who happen to be in America. We were kidnapped and brought here against our will from Africa. We didn't land on Plymouth Rock - that rock landed on us.
What goes on in Reverend Wright's church is going on all across America & has been throughout my entire life. I'm weary of it and NOT afraid of the O Boogie Man, who just might be the right man at the right time to begin healing our country's deep, racial wounds. The Clintons will never do any more than exploit the racial divide for money & power that devolves to themselves...and THEY ARE trying to 'lynch' Obama to further their own, egotistical ambitions.
While John McCain will certainly get my vote in November...we are very close on the political spectrum, much to the chagrin of many FReepers I suspect...it probably won't make a difference because I'm in California, which is sure to have it's Electoral votes cast for the Dem candidate...who I hope & pray will be Obama (the O Boogie Man, yes, but don't be so scared!)...
