“I will eat two Oreo cookies after dinner tonight to prove I’m not racist.”
Who in the hell can eat only “2” Oreo cookies??!!
“My guess is that when one follows the $10 million credit line one will find the real story.”
I agree with you 100%. But, is anyone investigating?
As adults, friends and associates have immeasurable influence on us. And, it doesn't take too long to know where any potential friend is "coming from".
Similarly, it's no small wonder why parolees are not allowed to associate with known felons.
The influence of friends and associates on people is huge, and everyone knows this. Got life experience?
This is, of course, acutely the case in people interested in politics and power. (Think Obama and his buddy Jeremiah here).
No thinking person can sustain disbelief that Barack and Jeremiah didn't resonate philosophically (and deeply so) from the very get-go, 20 years ago.
Is Barrack Obama the man we want in charge of our national security? Never mind the fact that he and the other democrats have screwed up their own candidate selection process, does he have ANY pro-American credentials at all? How many of his votes in the senate have helped to strengthen America and it’s security against international murderers?
The thought of Obama in charge of our national security scares me a lot. I don't trust him at all and all I can think of if he does win is Jimmy Carter but worse.
I hate to say this (especially here, LOL), but this is why I would take Clinton over Obama if I was forced to. Clinton is just as liberal as Obama is, but I think she would be tougher on national security due to the fact that she would want to prove that she can be tough on NS, despite being a woman. She also has the shame of the Clinton Name and how her husband messed up getting Osama. She would NOT want to continue that legacy.
With that said if either of them win I will be in mourning for 4 years. It is pretty depressing that our only salvation is McCain.
It's a very depressing election year. :o(
That's OK, The "US of KKKA" hates him!
he is what he is ....nothing left to say
Black America is a spoiled teenaged child, rebelling against the rest of America. And it's refusal to grow up and get with the program (and the rest of America's cowardice in enabling this behavior) is destroying the quality of life in this country. Our schools are crap, our culture is garbage, our neighborhoods are in decline, our middle and upper class kids act like wannabe gangbangers in the lowest of upbringings...When are we going to show the compassion and the love to slap the unruly child in the face and say "Enough is enough!"? "Grow up!"
Heck, historically, senators suck at being President.
That may have been an issue when Obama started his career, but not any more. As the only Black Democrat likely to run for President or Senator from Illinois, he's got the Black vote tied up.
It's street cred -- respect for being a "real" African-American that Obama's looking for. Since Obama got elected to the Senate, it may be that he needs a link to what he considers "real" Blackness to bolster his own identity, more than he needs it to win anyone else over.
Barack HAS to be understood to be winking at the black community and saying on the sly that he does agree that America is hateful, America is racist, and America is a danger to the world, for this is the narrative from the leadership of the black community.
Maybe, but the other possibility is that he's winking at the White establishment and saying on the sly that he doesn't believe that anymore than they do.
Senator Obama, please find me another country whose soldiers fight and die for freedom in other countries, and still lie buried in the thousands, with graves as far as the eye can see, in the countries yet enjoying the freedom Americans bled for them to have.
I'm still waiting...
Do you remember the fuss over an old edict of the Mormon Church that had said that blacks could not be pastors? And the fuss was, how dare we elect a man who belonged to such a faith that had once had a ruling like that?
I am just wondering if Obama’s Chicago church would accept a white Pastor. What do you think?
You can’t just say Oreo these days. There are so many variations on the shelf that one could have the peanut butter, mint or chocolate versions and be without any typical white stuffing. :)
;>)
“...she would want to prove that she can be tough on national security...”
While you have made some good points, I disagree with the above. Once in the White House, she would do just what her husband did in matters of national security, namely, sell out to the highest bidder, put useful idiots in positions of national trust and, then, trust them to fail. Do the names, Albright, Burger and O’Leary ring a bell? Mrs. Clinton, like her husband before her, is in this ‘game’ for herself, for her personal gain, for all the trappings of political power that can swell her bank account.
Good points, I forgot about her cronies.
I think that Obama would get 99.9% of the black vote not matter what he said. They claim not to be monolithic but they are. However, I did not realize how hypocritical they are until now. I just read an article about Rev. Wright’s $1M+ house in suburban Chicago. The same article also mentioned Michele Obama’s urging of black women not to seek jobs in corporate America (which presumable pay better) but to seek jobs serving the community. How convenient, now that Michele and Barak are millionaires. (I have mine but you don’t need yours). What hypocrites!
He would’ve been Trent Lotted all the way out of the race...............
or Don Imussed all the way out of the race.
That headline is absolutely right.
