A dose of reality...
A previous poster wrote: It seems that most of the people who are saying that Obama can't win against McCain are revealing their closet racism. What these people are really saying is Obama (a Black Man) can't win over McCain (a White Man). This same attitude existed during WWII when white men refused to fight along side a black man. Racial arrogance plagues America.

I am Italian and Russian, I look Italian. the neighborhood I grew up in was mixed. Italian, Russian, Polish, Hispanic, Puerto Ricans and Blacks. This was an area a few miles west of downtown Chicago in the 60's. Eventually the neighborhood turned all black.
I had crushes on mexican girls and polish girls and others whose ethnic background I didn't know. I was not attracted to italian girls or black girls. Italian girls seemed rough and tough and black girls were to much of a different culture for me. I saw the differences in how people lived. When I went to a mexicans house, I saw the food they cooked and how they lived. When I went to a black friends house, I saw the food they cooked and how they lived. They were my friends. Because I was not attracted to them...does that make me a racist???
Am I racist towards Italians???

OMG, let's go back to the cave man days. You know, things have changed over the last 50 years but when people like you bring up things like that, it's a step backwards for the race relations. Yes, people should not forget but to bring it up during a presidential campaign in 2008 is unintelligent.

I know that he's been listening to his advisors on how to fool America....He would have done better to just be himself!
He's been running game and being used by the media this entire election. He will fail by design....he and his supporters began to believe the hype.

The American public has too much respect for their country and fellow Americans to ever stoop to the level of electing a person of Obama's dubious qualifications.....no no no to the Obama man!!!! HE IS A FRAUD!!!!
Becky1:25PMApr 28th 2008
Obama supporters are running out of original things to say to defend their Obama man!!!! He is not the person qualified to lead this country and he sure the hell can not unite this country....He is a divider of this country....more and more everyday!!!!

Did Hillary win so big in last week, that AOL is not posting her win because of the hype and momentum she will get? I'm just wondering why they have not posted the win, I hear it was quite huge. I heard on FOX, this morning that she will most likely be the nominee. Wright has completely sunk Obama, along with Obama's help. She is also way ahead of John McCain now in the polls. Does anyone know what Hillary's percentage win was for the straw poll? GO HILLARY!

Obama Pal Sprung From Jail By Iraqi Fugitive
It's one of those things the mainstream media won't bother discussing in this presidential campaign, but Sen. Barack Obama has this really sleazy close friend and political fixer who is on trial in Chicago for buying and selling influence in Illinois politics. Tony Rezko has been in jail without bond while he is being tried on federal corrupt influence charges for months now because he failed to disclose a 7-figure wire transfer payment he received from a corrupt former Iraqi businessman, Nadhmi Auchi. Rezko finally made bail last week with a little help from another Iraqi fugitive from justice, Aiham Alsammarae. The Sun-Times is reporting that Alsammarae put up more than one-third of the $8.5 million in cash and property pledged for Rezko's bail.

------------------
Dang, Hillary has her supporters so brainwashed into believing everything is Obama's fault that even when things are in her favor and everyone starts to question it because they know it's a lie, they point the finger at Obama supporters. Idiot, AOL STRAW POLL is in favor of Hillary. Why would an Obama supporter do that? I guess even you know Hillary isn't winning by that margin and not at all if you look at other polls. We all know it's Hillary supporters doing this so take some responsible unlike Hillary.
Becky1:34PMApr 28th 2008
I think Obama blew it by not agreeing to debate with Hillary....Shows he is afraid of her debating skills...of which he has none....I hear Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are drinking in excess lately......I think they know they screwed up royally endorsing Obama ...and guess who isn't going to be a shoe in to get re-elected to the senate in Massachusetts....... GO HILLARY!!!!

Pakistan slams Obama
03/08/2007 16:45 - (SA)
Islamabad - Pakistan on Friday criticised United States presidential
hopeful Barack Obama for saying that, if elected, he might order
unilateral military strikes inside this Islamic nation to root out
terrorists.
Top Pakistan officials said Obama's comment was irresponsible and
likely made for political reasons related to the race for the
Democratic nomination for next year's US presidential election.
"It's a very irresponsible statement, that's all I can say," said
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khusheed Kasuri. "As the election
campaign in America is heating up we would not like American
candidates to fight their elections and contest elections at our
expense."
GUESS ANOTHER " Slip of the tongue " for obama
SPEECHES ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS Without Being President
WE KNOW PAKISTAN HAS WEAPONS OF DISTRUCTION
================================================
No "slip of the tongue." Apparently it would suprise you, but what Obama said is the recognized policy of the US government.

Politics has been cutthroat long before "The Clintons" and Obama showed up! It seems odd that Obama has represented that he can win an election without playing the games. So deductive reasoning would seem to prove that he has been playing the game and quite well, so he's been lying, cheater and stealing....like all the rest of the Politicians.....he's learned his lessons well....

WOW, logic sure is not your strong suit!
