I find it amazing. We will elect an actor to president. We will elect an absolute moron but when we have someone that can actually speak with dignity, intelligence and respectfully some will call him "inexperienced". GW is inexperienced... he does not know how to find Bin Laden, run an economy in a positive direction, or even get elected without shanghaiing an election.... no one seemed to call him inexperienced... guess he needed to be black to get that title.
While I think Hillary is the most qualified candidate, she carries a good old boy mentality, I would rather have a respectful, intelligent, articulate black man than 4 more years of what we have had. John McCain promises nothing more than more of the same... I guess he has his head so far up his wifes bank account he is unaware the economy sucks.

Yeah, and the blacks who cry about people not supporting Obama and pull the race card don't speak for all of us either.

Way to show your ignorance of McCain.
Btw not all people are for radical left candidates. We don't want to support a man who votes present on issues so it can not hurt his ambitious career. We don't like a man that wants to raise taxes for the fairness and not raise revenue. The man rinks of inexperience. Btw was that not a huge argument against GWB? Lets do a repeat I think not.

The more ignorant and uneducated, the more arrogant and "superior" they think they are.
Good education really does help eradicate racism. I hope President Obama will invest more money to improve the public school system in places like Hicksville, West Virginia so that their inhabitants can be brought up to speed to 21st century standards.

You need some sensitivity training
And what racial stereotype would you use towards the uneducated hip-hop gangsta whitey hating blacks out there who are supporting.
I certainly don't consider that style to be "educated" Hell, most of that type of dumb black cant even pronounce the common vowels........so dont throw stones at dumb whites and not even consider dumb blacks...........
maybe Obama will put some public education money into East LA.
And by the way I do wish Obama the best of luck as he is most certainly smarter than a lot of ALL the electorate, white black, red, brown, green

I'm a fan of hip-hop music, and I'll tell you that a lot of these 'gangstas' you talk about don't even like Barack Obama. The 'hate whitey' attitude comes from ignorance, not music or a culture.

If this is the case the principals are doing one hell of a job. Single handedly bankrupting an established political machine while systematically changing the political landscape as well as the future electoral map, if nothing else, is one of the better marketing jobs I've ever seen.
What else can the "product" do, because the competition is less than impressive.

Of course it's easy to market yourself if you want to appeal to the hardcore liberals. Obama does just that. He promises so many things, but always forgets to mention what it'll will take to get it done. He doesn't live in reality, but in a dream where fixing problems with society is as easy as saying what you will do. And let's face it, in reality, he's one of those 'Got a problem? Let's construct a multi-billion dollar program to solve it." kind of liberals. We definitely don't need someone like that when you consider the status of our economy and the debt we are in.
And for the record, none of the popular three are impressive.

Thanks for going on record, I respect that.
It's not easy to market yourself, which is why Senator Clinton consistently asks for money. Her campaign was ill prepared for someone who realized it isn't easy nor cheap to market yourself for the long haul. She was short sighted and fully entrenched in the blanket of entitlement that many of her supporters feel is slipping from their grasp. This was the Golden opportunity for them to return to an era of Government Nanny, so welcome after Reagan/Bush, and they are sad to see it slip away.
Who is this new, upstart Senator Obama who will have us work to pay into the system that helps us. Why should we have to work to get something....isn't government supposed to fix the economy, give us free socialized programs and medicine....the entitlement state is alive and well, and the base, broader than ever before.
But there is a new movement...One that recognizes that we are the keepers of government, the patriotic cynics of Madison & Jefferson, the ultimate check and balance, always there, built into the fabric of the American Society whether we like it or not, the design, unshakable in it's purpose, to return the power to the people when government becomes unsustainable on it's current course.
It is disgusting to see the Senator's latest play in the media as she seeks to divide the demographic even more, by singling out a class of people as her supporters, as if we are pawns to be moved by a slip of the tongue and not see it for what it was. She is a 'professional speaker. An expert at what she says, and in delivery, of an intended meaning. For the MSM to question for a moment that the meaning was unintended, yet they are 'professional writers' is simply insane.

I don't consider anyone who does not believe in the sanctity of life to be very smart.
