NO TO OBAMA2:10PMApr 28th 2008

Obama don't blame your ills on society when you yourself could of made a difference. Faith does play a big part of who we are.

God Bless America land that I love. Crown thy good with brotherhood. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

In those words above it does not say “GOD DAMN AMERICA” The company you keep, the lack of judgment says it all! If Obama really felt for America, why did he stay in this church that practices hate and bigotry for 20 years? He has not cut his ties to his mentor “Uncle” Rev. Wright.

Why did he and his family stay in this church who used the tragedy of 911, 6 days after it happened, as a joke. When 9-11 happened, it impacted the very core of all Americans and of the countless of families that still grieve for their loss. Yet Obama stayed in this church for 20 years that practices hate. Obama has played the race card against us and defends his anti-American radical Pastor! Obama does not represent my values nor of any decent hard working American who loves this country. Obama does not deserve to be President!

Shiela:

jim2:04PMApr 28th 2008

SCTXCA You sir are a bigoted moron You only want OBAMA because he is Black and your ignorance shows I just read your comment your playing the RACE CARD FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Obama just isn't that good he sounds like a JERK on the pulpit when he speaks that id the last thing this country needs.
-------------

I didn't play the race card just told you about what I saw. Like you don't see Obama is Black. You really believe Obama would be treated the way he is if he were White? If that were true, people would still be talking about McCain and John Hagee. So, please, tell that to someone who doesn't know any better. The only thing you have done is play the race card and when I make a point, you scream racism. NOT.

bonnie2:16PMApr 28th 2008

Sheila and SCTXCA are the biggest racist on these post...entitlement does not get you the presidency, sorry, Obama loses because he is devisive, anti-American, anti-white racist bigot who lies about his own herritage, his associations with terrorist and slumlords and he has no record, no experience. He is simply put a FRAUD and America woke up. No Obama...NEVER!

tom2:19PMApr 28th 2008

I got nauseous watching this speech by wright, what’s next? Is David Duke going to get an MSNBC makeover? Your talking about a blatant racist and yet because he’s an African American and because he’s the pastor of Barack Obama’s church, he gets the entire CNN network to basically sugar coat and white wash everything he’s ever done.
You can't polish a turd however you might try!

Leonarda2:20PMApr 28th 2008

To: Die-Heart Republicans: McCain at all cost!
Specifically to you 'macho boys': Aren’t you ashamed that your presidential choice has been 'a kept man' for the last 27 years? Where's your macho pride? Oh, you don’t have any cause he was smart enough to live off a woman! OK, well I guess, you won’t mind that he is smart off to live off you too! (at all cost). Pathetic idiots! As it has been said, when man isn’t first controlled by his extra short leg, then he is secondarily controlled by his pocket book! What a virtue I would want to pass onto my son! Again, pathetic, lacking in self-esteem idiots!
By the way: You noticed that after 27 years of marriage, SHE (the controller) of the wealth; obviously continues to believe that presumably the tax benefits or any other benefits she may receive from maintaining HER property as sole and separate, certainly has not become overwhelmed with the need to consummate a marriage based on TRUST! She, obviously still does not TRUST him with HER wealth after 27 YEARS; but you so-called superior beings (superior than thou racist/sexist) know more then, SHE does! After all SHE is just a woman! Obviously, she is smarter than any of you that are willing to support your so-called "Honorable' KEPT MAN!

Bring on your garbage lies and deceptions we have lived with them for centuries! Difference, this time - We are now EDUCATED and YOU GAVE US ALL SO MANY SCARES (Various CULTURES differing from YOUR OWN SO=CALLED PURE WHITE RACE) THAT IT WILL TAKE HUNDREDS OF GENERATIONS TO REMOVE THESE SCARES FROM OUR BEING! We have extended our hands of forgiveness to you and your past, but that isn’t enough for you! You need to re-write history that will allow you to appear as some Angelic beings! Get real, the Anti-Christ has been here forever! That is YOU and your kind!!!!

Go Senator Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary at 60+ years of age - you still haven't learned that a lie is a lie! You've been in the Washington DC inner circle for YEARS and all you and your supporters have done for this country is SELL to the highest foreign bidders, while voting to continously send OUR PEOPLE to die! Ironically for the
same 'culture' that you so kindly 'negativity' accuse Senator Obama of being a party too! Make you your mind! Do you support Arabic cultures, or only when it is convenient for you to do so? Drop out - you pathological liar!

Ethics Complaints and Investigations – Senator Hillary Clinton
According to the evidence compiled by Judicial Watch in the last ten years, Hillary Clinton is among the most corrupt politicians in our nation’s history. She devised a scheme to sell taxpayer financed trade missions to Communist China in exchange for campaign contributions. She presided over the theft of the private FBI files of former Reagan and Bush staffers. She led the campaign to slander the women sexually and otherwise abused by President Clinton, and has lied time and time again to investigators, to her colleagues, to the press and to the American people.
According to a Judicial Watch’s Senate Ethics complaint, Senator Clinton and her campaign team conspired to defraud the U.S. Senate and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by failing to report the true cost of a $2 million Hollywood campaign fundraising event in August 2000. David Rosen, Hillary Clinton’s National Finance Director, stood trial for his role in the campaign finance scheme, facing charges he caused false campaign finance reports to be filed with the Federal Election Commission. Federal prosecutors, in an effort to keep Hillary and Bill Clinton out of the trial, presented a watered down case and Rosen was eventually acquitted. Still, there is a mountain of evidence implicating Rosen and both Clintons.

I am now reading, "Dreams from My Father," by Barack Obama. I believe everybody should read the book. Here is only one quote from the book:

p.279 - (this is when he was an organizer in Chicago.) "Whenever I first reached them on the phone, they would often be suspicious or evasive,uncertain as to why THIS MUSLIM- or worse yet, IRISHMAN, O'BAMA- WANTED A FEW MINUTES OF THEIR TIME."

Chicagoguy2:28PMApr 28th 2008

This is a good lesson for the next African-American who decides to run for President. I'm sure someone is taking notes and in the next 4 or 8 or 12 years an African-American can have a go at it and probably achieve it.

Because of Obama, this will be a study in what NOT to do and who not to associate with for an African-American to go all the way.

Michelle2:30PMApr 28th 2008

Im just not in the mood for mean stupidity today...

too many lies today...

Mark V. SCTXCA,

and bonnie, still NOT A BLACK WOMAN...don't care what you think...

Have a nice day.....if you can...some of you I seriously doubt it...

monap492:30PMApr 28th 2008

Whites are labeled racist if they vote for Hillary Clinton instead of Barack Obama - but African Americans who have voted in numbers like 90% for the African American candidate are not labeled racist!

Someone want to explain that especially after the last speeches made by Rev Wright?

cjsmooch2:31PMApr 28th 2008

I can't wait until we have our democratic nominee!!

ruben2:31PMApr 28th 2008

Anita

Hillary lied to us. The worst thing she could have done. After 8
years of lies, tricks, deception and corruption by Bush & Co. and
4000+ deaths of wonderful Americans she lies to us. Can't trust
Clinton Machine. Not this time! No mistakes or fatigue or
misremembering. LIES. POINT BLANK.
=================================================

You have Hillary confused with Obama... Obama is the biggest liar,
fraud and misspeaker in the public eye today. If you don`t believe
me ask his preacher: Wright..
----------------------------------------

Vince
I've noticed that you & your CLAN respond to anyone who has a positive opinion of Obama, into a negative opinion by TWISTING their words in the opposite direction, it's obvious why you support Hillary, YOU ARE just like her. DISHONEST!!

BTW..When Obama is Honest, you find a way to make him a liar.
The TRUTH is that HILLARY is the most DISHONEST Politician that I've seen in my lifetime.

I'm 70 yr old WHITE MAN

PS
Vince,just for the record, everyone sees thru you and your CLAN

MSNBC and CNN are disgusting:

To sugar coat what this racist pastor has said and still says is unbelieveable!!

This man just said in the last couple of days as an example:

"A black women will sleep at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for the first time Legally!!!

Shame on these networks for running scared!!!

Barack Rocks2:37PMApr 28th 2008

Vote Barack Obama for president! He can bring a fresh face to
America and bring desperately needed change. McCain cheated his wife,
supports this evil war and is a curmudgeon. He does not seem to
appreciate MLK that much. Hillary and her husbend used to be pro
civil rights but they seemed to have changed. Hillary insulted MLK
and compared Obama's win in SC to Jesse Jackson's. Then Geraldine
Ferraro did her bad thing. Hillary framed Bill Richardson for the Los
Altos incident, no wonder he endorsed Barack. Go
Barack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those 'distractions' reveal much about Obama's character
By Charles Krauthammer | Columnist
Published: 4/26/2008 8:41 AM


Real change has never been easy. ... The status quo in Washington will fight. They will fight harder than ever to divide us and distract us with ads and attacks from now until November.

-- Barack Obama, Pennsylvania primary night speech

With that, Obama identified the new public enemy: the "distractions" foisted upon a pliable electorate by the malevolent forces of the status quo, i.e., those who might wish to see someone else become president next January. "It's easy to get caught up in the distractions and the silliness and the tit for tat that consumes our politics" and "trivializes the profound issues" that face our country, he warned sternly. These must be resisted.

Why? Because Obama understands the real threat to his candidacy is less Hillary Clinton and John McCain than his own character and cultural attitudes. He came out of nowhere with his autobiography already written, then saw it embellished daily by the hagiographic coverage and kid-gloves questioning of a supine press.

Then came the three amigos: Tony Rezko, the indicted fixer; Jeremiah Wright, the racist reverend; William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. And then Obama's own anthropological observation that "bitter" working-class whites cling to guns and religion because they misapprehend their real class interests. In the now-famous Pennsylvania debate, Obama had extreme difficulty answering questions about these associations and attitudes.

What is Obama to do? Dismiss all such questions about his associations and attitudes as "distractions." And then count on his acolytes in the media to wage jihad against those who have the temerity to raise these questions. As if the character and beliefs of a man who would be president are less important than the "issues."

Take Ayers. Obama makes it sound as if the relationship consists of having run into each other at the DMV. In fact, Obama's political career was launched in a 1995 meeting at Ayers' home. Obama's own campaign says that they maintain "friendly" relations. Obama's defense is that he was 8 when Ayers and his Weather Underground comrades were planting bombs at the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol and other buildings. True. But Obama was 40 when Ayers said publicly that he doesn't regret setting bombs. Would you maintain friendly relations with an unrepentant terrorist? To ask why Obama does is perfectly legitimate.

Obamaphiles are even more exercised about the debate question regarding the flag pin. I have never worn one. Whether anyone does is a matter of indifference to me. But apparently not to Obama. He's taken three affirmative steps in regard to flag pins. After 9/11, he began wearing one. At a later point, he stopped wearing it. Then last year he explained why: Because it "became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security." To speak of pin-wearing as a sign of inauthentic patriotism is to make an issue of it yourself. For Obamaphiles to now protest the very asking of the question requires a fine mix of cynicism and self-righteousness.

But Obama needs to cast out such questions as illegitimate distractions because they are seriously damaging his candidacy. As people begin to learn about this just-arrived pretender, the magic dissipates. He spent six weeks in Pennsylvania. Outspent Hillary more than two to one-- and lost by 10 points.

And not because he insufficiently demagogued NAFTA or the other "issues." It was because of those "distractions" -- i.e., the things that most reveal character and core beliefs.
