Gotta love it when Political Correctness bites the hand that feeds it.

Of course, in addition to saying that Obama wouldn't be in the lead for the Democratic nomination were he not black, which is demonstrably true, she could have quoted Mo Dowd. Ms Dowd opined that, were it not for nepotism, Hillary would be running for the presidency of Smith College.

Watch the Dem's just tie themselves in knots over this. Mark my words, you'll hear someone, somewhere, say something like, "Obama is black? I never really thought of him in those terms". Some few, very few, are thinking straight on the matter.Psst!--Ferraro was right. - By Mickey Kaus - Slate Magazine

Ferraro was absolutely right, unfortunately so was Dowd.
Neither one of these candidates has the experience or wherewithal to be a successful president. If one of 'em beats McCain one can only hope they can somehow select a decent cabinet of advisiors and have the intelligence to pay attention.

If the Democratic ticket winds up as Obama and Hillary or Hillary and Obama; It would not surprise me to see McCain and Collen Powell Republican ticket.

No secret that I am not a fan of either Hillary or Obama...and not much of a fan for McCain, but still will vote for him. I have watched as people have tried to paint Obama as a Muslim sympathizer, and attacked statements by others close to him to knock him down. None of this seemed fair to me. I thought his stance on the issues was enough to disqualify him from my vote and that attacking him on the issues was sufficient.

Now I am changing my mind.

I have watched about a half dozen videos of his pastor in his (Christian) church. They are vile and racist and hate filled as anything David Duke used to say. Obama says that his pastor says things that he does not agree with....but when I watch these videos I cannot help but wonder....What does Obama REALLY believe? Is it all a carefully crafted facade? What would make you sit there and listen to such hate week after week and year after year and have this reverend marry you and baptize your children if you REALLY disagreed with all this stuff. Obama says is is like having an Uncle who you disagree with but who is part of your family. No...it is not like that...you don't get to choose your relatives...you DO get to choose your minister. Here's an example of this minister who has been a friend and mentor of Obama's for 2 decades. Even if you don't believe that Obama feels this way himself...it certainly reflects on his JUDGEMENT to be closely associated with such a person.

We all know the anger problem McCain has - but I have always thought that Obama has a secret anger issue... almost Nixon like under the surface. He is great with public speaking but you can always see that undertone of anger in his expression when he is not too pleased with a line of questioning etc... and that reference you posted probably explains now more than ever why I actually caught that early on... good background link Cam......
