Obama/Biden August 28th, 2008 12:19 am ET It is ridiculous what the republican had done to this country in eight years. Coming from economics surplus from Bill Clinton to deep debt to China. This republican government is handing their white plate over to China and begging to barrow money from them. This has never been the US. Most of the time it always been the other way around. We are the one that used to lend money to the world. These republican think that they have not done enough to the country and try to scare you away from a chance to take our country back. No way, No how, No McCain. Just to emphasize your point!:

Nothing amazes me more about America than the American Dream. Sen. Barack Obama is a product of the unimaginable power of that Dream. You see it everywhere in America and you feel it around the globe. Americans can reinvent themselves like no other nation on earth. Americans can dare to believe their Dream and live it. And so Sen. Barack Obama is on the verge of becoming the first African American President of the United States of America because he believes in the American Dream. There so many lessons for African leaders in the Obama phenomenon. If they can give their citizens good education and liberalize access to power by making electioneering process transparent, fair and just we can truly transform this potentially rich continent which, unfortunately, continues to be left behind by the rest of the world.

I agree Obama's nomination is a huge milestone in our history and a reason for all us to be very proud. The Bush/Cheney/McCain policies have ruined our reputation abroad - ask anyone who travels overseas. Still, we are capable of doing amazing things right - where else could a man like Obama become President?

He was one of the most covert supporters of Obama, without actually declaring his support. He was the one who truly pummeled Bill Clinton's reputation among the African American community. African American journalists like Suzanne Malveaux of CNN, have been overtly and covertly propping up Obama, right from the onset of the primary campaign while dissing Hillary Clinton at every opportunity she gets. Personally, every time I see Suzanne come to provide some "news" on the campaign, I turn the channel, since I prefer hearing "news" from journalists than fan talk.

Clyburn owes Bill Clinton a public apology. I resent the manner in which you treated the Clintons. Now every politican knows not to talk about race and what words not to use. However, discussions of race has been driven underground and spoken only in private.
