OK, gotcha. So, white people who don't vote for Obama are racists; what would that make black people and men who don't vote for Hillary? The problem with your little game is that there are two (or more) sides to it and, once you start playing, you have to finish it.

I wont say it's just that, but I will say that it is much easier for people to write of someone as unintelligent or incapable if they are of color. It's a societal prejudice that has gone completely away yet.

Isn't is funny that black people always use the word racist when they are not getting what they want and the other way round doesn't count. Yesterday on Hannity's America there was a black man who really went to far. They were talking about Obama's church leader and how he has make anti semitic remarks and other racist remarks, according to this man this leader was mis quoted although the leader had said it in his own church magazine. That this same leader went to Libia which is an anti semitic country and also a terrorist and on bad terms with America, didn't matter to this man and didn't have anything to do with racism. Hannity asked if a white man would told a about white people in the same way as this leader did about black people, would that be a racist and this man said "yes of cause" to whcih Hannity added so than that man would be called a KKK member, and again the answer was "yes". Hypocrite.
I wouldn't vote for Obama for the facts and for the people he is related too like terrorists and a PLO member!

Hillary has been on the world stage people. You cannot take that away from her and you know it! She's met world leaders, their wives, their families. THAT IS EXPERIENCE!!! What has Obama done ... gave a big hairy speech at a convention. Please ... yea, that qualifies him to sit at the adult table... give me a f-in break.

I am a white retired female, and when Obama's wife said what she did I had been feeling the same way about America. It doesn't mean that she doesn't love America but that she is now more proud of America because people want change and because people are voting for a black man. To me it says we have come along way in the race issues. Not far enough since many people are still racists, but still he is running for president, and he is a good man. His family appears to be very wholesome as well.

It is my understand that that church magazine doesn't belong to his church but was taken over by someone else. I could be wrong, but that is my own understanding.

I feel his message tends to almost border on A messianic fervor- and that you are either with us or not- that alone borders on either the message Hitler or Bush used!

Yes many of his followers bash Hillary as being a 'monster' a bitc*, and mean manipulative no good *****

But their thug like attitude seems in many respects worse then Hillary.

Mr. Obama lacks many attributes that prepare him to assume the Presidency- experience is one of them- but also the curious lack of substance his campaign has, and the lack of empathy he seemingly lacks. Most Democrats are 'bread & butter' working class- his appeals are filled with lofty speeches- but no responses to the needs many are feeling now.

As for being 'Socialist & Liberal' after more then 30 years of a republican party that has become more insular, and only cares about the needs of the wealthy, CEO's , the ultra rich shareholders, and religious fringe kooky birds- it seems that we do need reforms. Obama's and for that matter Clinton's ideas are hardly liberal or Socialist- but are mainstream- and seem only 'liberal' after 3 decades of a harsh Social Darwin like pro corporate environment that has no mercy for anyone unable to compete and exist in a very negative environment in which average working people are finding it harder to survive.

Remember, in 1945, President Harry S. Truman wanted nationalized health care- part of his 'Fair Deal'' Program. After 63 years have we progressed so little?
