It won't work John, you can not change the subject. YOU are an elitist, not Barack.

Obama 08

HIL(LIE)RY SHOWED HER TRUE SELF.

ARE WE ALL NOW SAYING OUR PASTORS SPEAK FOR US?

AMERICANS ARE IDIOTS

I HAVE LITTLE FAITH IN THIS COUNTRY

GOD HELP US. GOD HELP OBAMA

I better not hear a word from him about the Wright controversy

If Obama doesnt share his views, than this is no longer a political issue because WRIGHT does not share OBAMAs views

But i bet he will McFlipFlop

But second, this RNC strategy to attack Wright is going to blow up in their faces and he knows it. The African American communities that McCain is trying to court with his "forgotten places" tour will not take very kindly to a well-respected African American pastor being caricatured in such a myopic and clearly underhanded manner.

The RNC has enough trouble with African American votes. Keep on this path, and it will land less than 5% of that vote in the general election, even if HRC is the Dem. nominee. This is the same reason HRC has suddenly found her voice on this issue. They were happy to use it to smear Obama, but it is toxis, and will smear them just as badly if they go too far with it, as the RNC has started to do.

See you in the food line.

Which is a better leadership trait to you?

Think again. Read Obama's book. Read Obama's messages. The "theology" of Rev. Wright and the "policy" of Obama are virtually identical.

THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING...
ONCE AGAIN, OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME IDEOLOGICALL VIEWS AS HIS PASTOR ! HE SAID IT MANY TIMES, AND EVEN MCCAIN IS INTELIGENT ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE IT !

AND PLS STOP THAT BITTER THING...YA'LL KNOW ITS DISTORTION.

I SAY THAT THE FIRST STEP TOWARD HEALING IS TO RECOGNIZE THE DISEASE. If Hillary does not recognize that people in this country ARE BITTER, it prooves that she wont be one doing anything about it.

gee

McCain is really something else... what did Wright say about the Marines or the flag???????
As I understand it, Wright was a Marine.

McCain pretends that he's not pushing this controversy further, but slips in these remarks.

Shameful.

This campaign still shows how much race is still a problem in our nation. This is why even today we can't comprehend the sectarian issues in the middle east, specifically, we have issues at home we can not honestly deal with.

"You can not deliver or liberate someone from something you yourself have not been delivered or liberated from."

Blacks are asked to get over slavery, but Jews are never told to get over the holocoust.

Whites are asked to keep apologizing for slavery and are constantly reminded of the shame of their ancestors.

Native Americans are still relegated to reservations.

Race is real america ard Senator Obama at least tried to say we need to talk about this in a serious tone. The race has turned into a joke with Rev, Wright, the Conservastive Right and Liberal Media all dancing for attention!

Shame America, Shame on You

So what, some may ask. Well, democrats should be focusing on the good of the party at this point. This does NOT mean that Clinton should drop out, however. No, indeed she should stay in the race until Obama is the official nominee, but her campaign should be one of a positive message. From now on she should only speak positively about Obama and collectively they should use the media attention on their competitive race to focus on their contrasts with the GOP. Clinton should be building Obama up and not tearing him down! Democratic voters should be rewarding positive campaigning and helping Clinton along when she is supportive of the party and voting heavily against her when she resorts to the politics of old. Unless, of course, if Americans want to continue a politics of negativity, which I find hard to believe.

So why should, or would, Clinton basically agree to concede the presidential race by talking Obama up and ceasing her recent style of tearing him down? Simply put she should be focusing on what’s best for the party, the best for her and the best for the policies that she wants to push forth for the American people. A strong presidential candidate in Obama has the potential to put all those competitive senate races into play and the stronger Obama is as a candidate the better chance of winning those senate seats. A clean sweep would mean a 60-40 senate and with this kind of a potential senate composition Clinton should be focusing now on building Obama up to get this result and targeting on her concession prize, the Senate president pro tempore, if Robert Byrd would allow it for the good of the democratic party?

By Clinton running a positive campaign, Obama would also have a much more secure shot at winning the presidential bid and taking control of the House of Representatives as president of America. Then with Clinton controlling the Senate the two would offer one of the most influential one two punches in the history of America. After all, 95% of their policy platform is identical and that is why this primary has come down to a competition of character and grit instead of what they will do for Americans – the latter is nearly identical! So, for sake of argument, lets look at Clinton’s most progressive propositions, Universal Health Care. Now, ask yourself, would Clinton have a better chance of achieving this as the Senate president pro tempore residing over a 60-40 senate, or as the President of a divided and fractured House of Representatives and a 54-46 senate? Why do we all act as if only presidents introduce bills? Surely a stronger, unified government would achieve Universal Health Care much more smoothly! Simply put, if Hillary wants what’s best for America, it is time for her to go positive!

So to all the democrats reading this. Unify and Get out to vote, vote Clinton or vote Obama, that is not important, just vote to reward POSITIVE campaigning! Don’t let negativity dictate the tone of this race. When you talk to your fellow democrats contrast Clinton and Obama not with each other, but with GOP. Give them credit when they are positive and ignore them when they are negative.

In November vote democrat!

Thanks for reading!

While many of you may feel Rev. Wrights views are extremist, you need to step back and take a deep breath. Once you do that you will realize his ideas ARE NOT extremist what they are is PAINFULLY true!!

America still has a bit of a race problem. Is it as bad as the 60's absolutely not. BUT it still EXISTS!! The Reverend is saying we NEED to address this issue HEAD-ON plain and simply.

What has he pointed out that has many people in a tizzy?? That the American Government has done some VERY wrong and evil things to it's people as well as people around the world. The problem is the American public likes to try an ignore that it has happened and/or justify it.

Here is just one example of what I mean..

Black people have been in this country for over 300 years and just 40 years ago we began to see REAL opportunity. There are many books showing that institutionally Black children were held back not because they could not learn something but because there (white) teachers believed they could not learn it so they were never exposed to the opportunity.

Did many of you know there use to be POST CARDS showing the hanging of Black people??

While I don't think the the American government is behind Aids it is an HISTORICAL FACT that the U.S. Government PURPOSELY observed black men with syphillus just to observe what it did to their body...THINK ABOUT THAT for just a minute..A government watching it's people die with something it KNOWS they have a CURE for......

WHY is it so important that Barack where a FLAG pin whe Hillary seldom does and I have often seen Sen. McCann go without one???

If could give other examples but those a few observations that should be considered. We are a great nation, but we have done some pretty bad things in our history as well.

Do not judge Barack based on what Reverend Wright says . THEY ARE NOT RELATED in any way or form. Rev. Wright is fulfilling his obligation to speak the truth as he sees it. Frankly, he is not concerned with whether Barack wins or LOSES. WHY you ask...

BECAUSE HE FEELS IT IS IN GODS HANDS NOT HIS!!

This is a great opportunity to REALLY ADDRESS the race issue in America and just maybe get it behind us once and for all.

NOW IS THE TIME..LET'S NOT DROP THE BALL.

Obama does not have the same experience as Rev Wright but he can identify with some of the struggle. It is someone with feet in two worlds who is uniquely qualified to build bridges.

Obama is the one.

There is a saying. To know the man is to walk in his shoes. Rev. Wright shares the views of his generation. No different than White people who would not vote for Obama because of his color.

Maybe McCain wants to leave it alone because of the soldiers bond. Something that neither Bush, Chaney, Clinton (Pres) can say.

McCain is the only one even close enough to be prepared for the Presidency.

Black-Americans for McCain '08!!!!!!
