Barack Obama's Campaign Difficulties, from A to Z
A is for ''an Academic'', is he too much of one? And does this mean he's unable to have down-home fun? B is for ''too Black or not black enough,'' is he the former or the latter, and If we've transcended race, does it really matter? C is for ''dealing with Hillary Clinton'', now there's a sticky wicket! Can he assuage her supporters without ...

Sorry, but I don't agree
Donna: We don't talk about the morality of universal health care, quality education for all, or a living wage. More importantly, we don't even talk about how they benefit all Americans, not just the working poor. As a friend says, ''You have to meet people where they are and bring them along.'' We refuse to do that. Obama hasn't done it and he ...

Don't blame Michelle for Obama's flaws
There's no evidence, and Hitchens alludes to none, that Michelle made Barack join Wright's church and stick with it through all the vile spewings. Remember, she was from the area already and had her own church. he was the one looking to establish, in his words, ''street cred'' in the black community, as he looked to establish a political base ...

Ilk or Actuality?
I have to question the premise of Hitchens' argument. It seems he prefers to remain among those who feel they haven't heard enough renunciation and distancing in Obama's ''handling'' of his ''pastor situation.'' The senator actually demonstrated integrity treating the Rev. Wright and his comments with more seriousness than a mere political ...

How do you say 'Sieg Heil" in Swahili, Ask Rev. Wright
It appears that the conservative, Christian,middle-class, Caucasian, straight male have become the new Jew in the liberal Fourth Reich. Liberals and Progressives, like the Reverend Wright, are using the rhetoric and reasoning of the Jacobins in the French Revolution. The Jacobins, who brought on the tyrannical Directory and the Reign ...

Racism, bias, and gendism
Racism: It's an annoying sermon, on so many levels that I can't even begin. This guy wright is a hate promoting bigoted NOI racist. If Malcolm X were alive today this same dude would be denigrating him. Bias: notice how they give McCain and Hillary biased attributions and with Obama it's generally ''says'' Gendism: Wright will never know ...

It's easier to judge than accept/ Truth doesn't need proof
I am reposting this as I feel quite passionately about this. I hope you see the truth of my words and know they come from a good place. Thanks for reading and everyone that responded. ''I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.'' -Barack Obama This statement really resonated with me as an African-American/Black woman. ...

Obama's grams feels: a)sad b)mad c)lonely d)youdontknowher
tip* if you're the clinton supporter that you make people think you are by writing this article, it's a bad idea to mention the word 'dishonesty' in a political blog/op ed/whatever on a day when the much bigger campaign story that is *not* old old news (as yours was) is hillary clinton concocting an utter fantasy and getting caught with ...
