Is Senator Obama a kid that needs protecting???

If he is whimpy and won't debate and scared to go on Chris Wallance, what can we expect as president???

North Carolina media grew a "socal conscious" and decided not to run the anti-Rev. Wright ad. This is censorship!!! Senator Obama is a first time senator so his "personal judgement" is what we have to judge his presidential ability. Which has proved to be disturbing since he surrounds himself with Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright.

Rev. Wright's sermons is a promotion of ignorance from the pulpit. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! God is watching people. People died on 9/11 and that was disrepectful! Also, America giving Black people AIDS does not need to be preached to 8,000 members.

Religion is about "HEALING"! This is crap if you think this does not matter to us. I'm Black and I'm telling you.


It never stop amazing me how "BIASED" the media is and how stupid you think Americans are.. You trying to make the states appear unimportant so you can push "Obama" on people. His "issues" like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers will cause Democrats to lose.

While the media focuses taking down Senator Clinton to build up Sentor Obama. You single handedly are increasing the GOP chances of wining.

Senator McCain's son is going to Iraq. Do you tink any Obama speech can compete with that?????

After the biased reporting on CNN and all the other news channels, for OBAMA; I find that FOX news is refresingly unbiased toward OBAMA..Fox has not taken a stand for or against Obmama or Hillary..(I know FOX reflects the Republican party's views.)

When this election first started I was an OBAMA puppet like half the other Democrates voting for him..Then (so I could argue for the OBAMA cause), I looked at the Illinois Gov. site to find Obama's voting record..I was shocked to see he didn't vote on the issues he runs his campaign on...OBAMA missed 40& of the vote, Mccain missed 58% of the vote, and Hillary missed 28% of the vote..

Yes, OBAMA has voted for some good issues, but he runs his campaign on funding for Green fuel and Green jobs...He also wants to bring our troops home from Iraq, bla, bla, bla...Yet if you look at OBAMA's voting record, He did NOT vote for any of the things he runs his campaign on...

Hillary does not fair as well against John McCain as Barack can and will in November. The DNC knows this. There is lots of drama now because Hillary just cannot grasp that she lost, and keeps feeding false hope, but once she's out and the dust settles, the majority of democrats and independents (and even some fed up republicans) will stand behind Obama and vote him right into the White House. Hillary simply cannot win. She can not catch up in delegates, popular vote, or states won. The DNC will not risk a completely split party, losing all the new (and potentially life long voting) dems Obama has brought to the party, etc. The nomination will not be handed to the person who won less contests, less votes and less delegates simply because the woman and her feminist followers are throwing a hissy fit. Won't happen! And does anyone really think if the nomination is stolen(especially from the first viable African American)that the party will accept that and vote for her? If it was a fair win for her, that would be different. Fact is, she can't win fair and square. Online, extreme views are common, "I will never vote for Obama" "I will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee" etc (which, by the way, John McCain votes against equal pay for women, and yet dem feminists will vote for him over Obama? lol), BUT these extreme, petty views are not the majority of those who will vote Dem in the general election. The difference between the two dems is nothing compared to the difference between Obama and McCain. The choice will be the issues in Nov, the war, the economy, uniting this country to be strong or further dividing us. The choice is clear and I know 100% that America will make the right choice after the last 7 years: Change for the better vs More of the same with Bush-Lite.

President Obama. Get used to it, people. If you don't like diversity, why do you live in the USA, the melting pot society?

IF YOU ARE AMERICAN AND BELIEVE IN GOD, PLEASE READ

Obama has brought issues to this presidential primary election that
would never, never have been issues if Obama was white. Barak Obama
was part of a crowd, for 20 years, that attended a church, knowing
well of the church's beliefs. Obama had to know about Wright,
Farrakhan, and many other extrimists involved with the Trinity Church
of Christ. Obama also had to know what repercussions there would be
when and where Wright came into the picture. Obama spoke of "HOPE",
I'm sure, "hoping" that Jerimiah Wright would not be "found out".

The Trinity Church of Christ is where Obama rec'd. his degree in
"Black Physiology, Theology, Psychology, & or Psychiatry. Obama met
the black people he needed to know, to get him into the senate. Here
we had a 1/2 white, 1/2 black man learning the culter of his race.
Poor little black kid. He sure has you fooled. With mobster "Tony"
Rezko's help. Obama has built a $1,750,000.00 + in Chicago. The home
of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan.

Is Obama the "role model" we want our kids to follow ? Are Obama's
beliefs the beliefs that
we want our kids to believe ? What will Obama's kids
be telling other kids of the world ? What kind of an impression is
this going to make on our country ?

SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.........................

I think the deeper the hole is dug, the more dirt there will be
found. Hopefully finding any contradicting issues before the
election. These issues should have been resolved before Obama was
elected to the senate.
The hole will undoubtably get a little deeper and I think Obama will
emove himself from the Presidential Primary the last of May, before
the INDI 500 Race.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AMERICA..........................
WHY CAN'T OBAMA RECITE THE "LORDS PRAYER

margaret4:48PMApr 25th 2008

Fred Thompson said it best last night. We do not know anything about Obama. It is scary that we are this far into this thing and we don't know him.

Flip4:52PMApr 25th 2008

Obama will be handled with kid gloves. Unfortunately, the media will continue to coddle him.

Hillary is always attacked by the media she has always given straight, informative answers.

That question about Bill was really stupid. Obama started the racial problems. He twisted Bill's words.

Obama has caused real problems in our country and has divided all of us. He believes in dividing and conquering and that is exactly what he has accomplished. He must be taking lessons for Karl Rove.

Go Hillary '08 She is truly Presidential.

Florence4:54PMApr 25th 2008

Hillary seems to have emerged out of PA as the new liberating angel who when elected, will avenge White America from black evil doers which she and her staff represent as Obama, Michelle Obama, anyone of color, Wright, Jesse Jackson, Muslims, Farrakhan,terrorists,
non-Christians, all bagged into one.
Forgotten are(1)her taking $100,000 bribe, camou-flaged as futures trades,from Tyson Foods Inc.--(2)Speculated in Health Care industry futures while over-seeing legislative reform of same(3) Failed to
correct false testimony by co-defendant Ira Magaziner in Health Care trial.(4) Obstructed justice by ordering shredding of Vince Foster's documents in the Rose Law Firm.(5) Ordered members of the Health Care
Task Force to shred documents that were the target of a court probe(6)Ordered the removal of documents from Vince Foster's office(7) Told aides to lie about their removal of documents from Foster's office(8) Obstructed justice by keeping her billing records,
a document sought under subpoena, in the White House residence(9) Lied to investigators about knowledge involvement in the Castle Grande land flip con.(11) Ordered use of the FBI to discredit Travel Office
employees(12) Lied to investigators about involvement in the firing of Travel Office Employees.
Now that Iraq and its players have given Americans a new set of values and expectations for its leaders, vituperative, conniving liars are embodying virtues. All of Hillary's evil deeds have evaporated, if not forgotten, but she has proven her power to mutate into a sub-human monster, so viciously avaricious, that she will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, even relagating ex-president Bill to the less-than-desirable role of I-gore the castrated hunched-back assistant.

Florence4:57PMApr 25th 2008

Volunteers for Billary:

Only experienced liars, cheats, cons, racists, bigots and murderers need apply. Must have proven to have absolutely no conscience. Must show vacuous ability to be vituperative. Hatred of men, blacks, muslims, Africans, African Americans, mixed races, terrorists, non-christians highly appreciated. Whites only need apply.

Florence5:14PMApr 25th 2008

Hillary won PA, which clearly means that she is the DNC chosen one.

She has less votes, less delegates, but no matter she won because she is white.
Obama pulled the race card when he made Bill bring up Jesse Jackson in SC.
Obama is also guilty for Bosnia. That is why Hillary said "Shame on you Barack Obama", because Obama said she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire.
Obama may have been seven years old when Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground, he should be grateful to Bill for pardoning 2 members of that organization during his presidency, even if Hillary's brothers got paid for it. It's his fault.
Obama planned for his African father to come to Hawaii to meet his white mother and give birth to him.
Obama is responsible for anyone he might have met before he was born.
Obama is a black African, who has deliberately lied about having a white mother, to cover his true identity.
Obama took over Rev Wright's body and spoke through him in the church.
Obama took over Jesse Jackson's body, that is why he is a terrorist.
Blacks are terrorists, Africans are terrorists, all Muslims are terrorists, and since Obama is related to all of them, he too is a terrorist.
Vote for Billary because she eats terrorists for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Florence5:21PMApr 25th 2008

What more do yuo need to know about the guys.

What does anybody know abour Fred Thompson other than he is a crappy actor.

Everybody knows all the crap the is to know about Hillary and Bill, and what difference has it made?

There never was any question that White America holds a different set of ethics for blacks that it does for whites, and we expected no less to manifest as it has.

Arco Iris5:43PMApr 25th 2008

As per Rev. Wright today:

"Obama is a politician." "He says what he has to say as a politician." "I say what I have to say as a pastor."

Thank you Rev. Wright. I have developed great respect for you and for your honesty. However, not so for Obama, who I believe has used the Trinity Church as his power base with its thousands upon thousands of members, a ready-made constituency with overflowing piggy banks.

OBAMA HAS HAD A 20-YEAR PLAN

Instead of telling the truth about his association with Trinity, he spins the truth and decides to forsake his pastor for political expediency. His statements about the controversial association have been akin to saying "I did not know the gun was loaded."

Not to know Obama has been to love him, especially by the drooling and babbling for Obama media.

afellowamerican5:44PMApr 25th 2008

Obama supporters, if you and OBAMA are scared of questions from an american journalist,just imagine when his first press conference begins.No I will not answer tha question ,I AM scared.

If the Press had been more responsible and exposed Obama earlier he would NEVER have won as many states as he did. The media suppressed the information for months and let voters be decieved. They attacked Hilary and puffed up Obama trying to run this election. Voters deserved to be informed of Obama's associations with Anti American, racist, white hating, criminals and terrorists. It goes to the man's judgement of who he chooses to be in the company with.

We raise our children and especially when they become teenagers to choose their friends wisely. We encourage them to associate with families who have the same morals and values we raise them with. We teach them you can and may be judged by the company you keep. If they are in the company of gangs, drug dealers, dishonest, irresponsible people they too will be judged along side them. It is basic common sense.

We choose our church and spiritual guides and mentors because we see in them what we ourselves are looking for and already believe. We introduce our children at the earliest ages to our beliefs by bringing them to our church and allow them to be taught our religion and faith. We surround them with our church community by going to functions, services and even bible studies so they can see what our faith is. So when Obama says he attended Trinity for 20 yrs and didn't hear those hate filled sermons and that he doesn't share the same beliefs as Rev Wright it is hard for me as a Christian religious person to understand WHY keep attending that church? In all my years attending mass for over 50 yrs I have never ever heard my priest, pastor or deacon spew hatred or Anti American remarks in the name of Christianity or in the name of scripture or in the name of Jesus Christ. For me... to spend one second spewing hatred to bring home a message of love is counter reactive.

It would be like us tearing our children down just to build them up. Where is the common sense in this? Where is the trust we would want them to have in us? What is the message? Jesus taught.. to love thy neighbor. Jesus taught... to forgive thy tresspassers. According to Rev WRight he is teaching his congregation to avenge the white people and the Americans for the wrong they did against their race hundreds of years ago. He is promoting hatred for oppression. I hear HATE and AVENGE in his attitude. How can Obama ask us to believe in him when we can't even understand his explanation of "WHY" he stayed in Trinity for 20 yrs and allowed his children to be exposed to this hatred? Michelle Obama has expressed her unpatriotic feelings, and how does one chose a spouse with feelings counter to your own?

Obama has more to come, the media has more and are sitting on it. The media didn't mind attacking Hilary or John McCain with very little to go on, yet with facts they chose to suppress exposing Obama.

If Obama loses this nomination the blacks have NO ONE to be upset with and blame but OBAMA himself. He did a good job going around promising NEW, HOPE and CHANGE when all along he has been your "TYPICAL" politician. He gave Americans false hope. He is NOT strong enough to weather a vetted debate how could he expect Americans to trust he could handle even more difficult situations if he were President. He faltered, stammered, stuttered and literally fell flat on his face in that last debate. He showed if he does not have a speech written by some great writer and a teleprompter to read it from he can NOT deliver intellible words on his own. He fumbled explaining his tax cuts.

Obama whined the next day and went out making jokes and mocked Hilary. He blamed Charlie and George two of the most respected Newsmen in the country of being too hard on him. He accused them of setting him up with a "gottcha" strategy. Blaming others is Obama's game plan. To blame Charlie and George just showed America that he is never willing to take any responsiblity for his own words and actions.

Obams said early on, "Words matter." Well we have heard his words and in Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, and all the other states he has heard "their words" NO Obama and YES Hilary. This race is far from over and those out there yelling for Hilary to step down because she is hurting the democratic party.....Shhhhhhh because she is NOT going anywhere. The Americans WANT her to stay in and there are 9 more states who deserve to have their words heard. Obama is not viable, he is not electable and he has hurt his ownself. Don't blame anyone but Obama if he is not the nominee. If anyone wants to vent their anger as the newsmen and politic wolves suggest if he does not make it there will be rioting in the streets..........just turn your anger toward the person who deserves it..Obama. He is the one who lied to America, he is the one who caused the American people to mistrust him, he is the one who in the last debate showed he is weak and undecisive. NO ONE is stealing this nomination from him...........HE IS THE ONE TO BLAME...no matter how much fear the media is trying to inflict on Americans if he is not handed over this nomination.

We have had 7 years of an administration holding us hostage out of their scare tactics and fear tactics. We are NOT willing to be victims any longer out of FEAR. I have a whole lot more faith in Americans whether they are black, white, red, yellow of blue....to accept who ever is the nominee and to join together to get the republicans OUT of the white house and as Hilary put it, "Take back this country."
YES WE WILL, Words will be solutions and hope will be reality!!! YES WE WILL!!!!
