Just think Charlie Rangel senile self is in charge of making decisions for our country, how scarrrrrrrrrrrrrry. As for Bill and Hill i'm sure the voting machines are already rigged their way and the pundits know it.because if they thought this was a free and fair election then OB would win hands down, Obama and Kucinich ticket and i am african american or an american i am voting for Obama cause he is qualified not cause he is black, my second choice is edwards.

I'd have a difficult time voting for anyone using Karl Rove politics, but Bill and Hillary have enough skeletons in their closets that they could open up a Jello factory. We need some one that can bring red and blue states together as well as black and white and all the shades in between with and without wrinkles. We are in a crisis and machine politicians and their political machines are the manufacturer's of that crisis. There are some mavericks in this election that are striking a chord with a lot of people that feel left out and ignored. Ron Paul, David Kusinich, John Edwards and especially Barack Obama...and I don't care that his middle name is HUSSEIN!!! I'd like to feel that the Democratic party is big enough to listen to anyone that brings forth ideas that would improve our economy, educational system, security, stature in the eyes of the rest of the world, and end that lamentable war.

The filth in which he peddled via BET for 25 years has caused incalculable harm to the race. And Black Americans should be ashamed of putting him on a pedastal. For what? For knowing how to buy low and sell high? So does a pimp know how to do, which is exactly what Bob Johnson has acted like over the years.

I really forgot all about him until this. But, he thought the same thing of the public forgeting he was half the founder of BET, so he had to make a come back. However, it was not a very good move on his part. Not very smart. I do think Obama is the right person for the job. The Clintons............well who is worse Hillary or Lucifer? I do ask though, other than the recent events regarding the Obama/Hillary tiff, does the American public really know Hillary and Bill? There are sites out there I have been reading that are saying things about her I even forgot. I remember reading the book Primary Colors which was all about the Clintons. Yeah, Bill likes to give. Bill has the charm to woo people, but there is so much about those people that is evil. Many political sites townhall.com and stophernow.com have unleashed a stream of damaging information regarding her. Read on people. Read about Hillary, then cast a vote.

This is so typical of her campaign tactics even with her staffers constant inuendo and negative comments about Obama.

In no way do I condone the use of drugs, but I am glad to see a politician take a stand and admit to something, without trying to side step it. Many people have tried drugs, and some have fallen deep into their destructive path. It's good to see someone show that through hard work you can accomplish something great, and what's in the past is in the past and you need to move forward. Good Work Obama!!!! Stay honest. I am not sure who I am going to support yet. I am a republican, but even so I am not dedicated to one party or the other. However, I was very happy to see Obama admit to his drug usage. In no way do I condone the use of drugs, but I am glad to see a politician take a stand and admit to something, without trying to side step it. Many people have tried drugs, and some have fallen deep into their destructive path. It's good to see someone show that through hard work you can accomplish something great, and what's in the past is in the past and you need to move forward. Good Work Obama!!!! Stay honest.

Robert Johnson and Andrew Young, in the most inarticulate way might I add, spoke ignorantly about Sen. Obama in hopes of assassinating his character. Some African-Americans have align themselves with Hillary because of her husband. Others have embraced the Clintons because of past favors and that the Clintons were sympathetic to African-American issues. You shouldn't by any means choose a candidate based on race (although I believe most do), but you should at least give him or her support they deserve and not attack one of your own.

I don't trust Obama. At least I 'know' the Clintons. I think that they really are well-meaning (call me naive). With Obama, I'm just not clear on where he stands, what he stands for and allying himself with Al Sharpton, someone who is very much a reactionary, is not helping his presidential bid. I really don't think Obama knows what he's doing and someone without clear direction will easily be swayed by more influential forces - for better or worse. People need to have character, a real track record, and a clear direction on what's right, even when it's hard. I don't see that in Obama and I don't think he has any place on our next presidential ballot. Sorry. I don't trust Obama. At least I 'know' the Clintons.
