International Herald Tribune ^ | Sunday, March 23, 2008 | Robin Toner

WASHINGTON: At the core of Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign is a promise that he can transcend the starkly red-and-blue politics of the last 15 years, end the partisan and ideological wars, and build a new governing majority.

To achieve the change the country wants, he says, "we need a leader who can finally move beyond the divisive politics of Washington and bring Democrats, independents and Republicans together to get things done."

He calls himself a progressive. He must think people don’t know that progressive is code for socialist.

Obama uses race warfare under the guise of racial reconciliation. After all, the world’s problems are whitey’s fault./s

Socialist? Marxist? Race-baiter?

Bet he can’t “transcend” those labels, either.

Don’t label him liberal, label him a far-left wacko.

If he’ll betray his own grandmother, what do think he’ll do to rest of us?

“we need a leader who can finally move beyond the divisive politics of Washington and bring Democrats, independents and Republicans together to get things done.”

Yeah, Mr. RACIST now wants to “unite” us.

LOL!

I don’t adhere to this BLACK liberation theology.

Go peddle that to stupid people.

Barry the rich white child of privilege, raised by wealthy white liberal grandparents, sent to the finest white schools, whose ambition is to be a black man, doesn’t want to be called “liberal”?

This is absolute crap. Politics will ALWAYS be devisive, thats just how it is. Anyone claiming to be able to effect otherwise is either lying, or an idiot.

“Getting things done” is a euphemism for pushing your agenda through at the expense of those who disagree. Sure, it would be a lot easier to “get things done” if everyone just could agree on the things they wanted to do; but as it is in a democratic system where people are allowed to disagree with one another and with their politicians divisiveness is the way we do things - it’s about time we started getting used to that.

I hear politicians refer to themselves as conservative quite often. I can’t remember a politician referring to him-or-herself as liberal.

I wonder why that is...

To achieve the change the country wants, he says, "we need a leader who can finally move beyond the divisive politics of Washington and bring Democrats, independents and Republicans together to get things done, provided those things are liberal and/or progressive and/or socialistic and/or Marxist and/or moonbatty."

Sorry, I just had correct what was so obviously a reporting error.

I think some people (moderate/conservative Democrats and independents) might have bought his BS before the Wright story broke. Now America finally sees him for what he truly is - a racist fraud and a hypocrite
