I’m really upset with tha fact that the comment made by Senator Clinton. That if it wasn’t for Lyndon Johnson we wouldn’t be in the position that we are today . I was a fan of the Clintons, but lately to me they have showed their true colors and for all who don’t see that it’s sad. I mean are we suppose to over look what Dr. King or JFK did? What is she saying? The speech of experince is getting on my last nerve because it’s nothing wrong with expereince it what have we done with it, also the same things that she said Obama voted for so did she. I mean were we to with hold the money for War so the rest of our soldier die.

I don’t have anything against Obama, but I know for a fact that Hiliary can get the job done. We don’t have 4 years to waste if Obama gets in office and can’t deliver.

Obama 2008.

He’s the best candidate. Hands down. I like his access to healthcare plan. I like the fact that he has DONE something about racial profiling. I like the fact that he helped put a hold on the death penalties in the state of Illinois due to the failure rate proved by the Innocence project. I like the fact that he is defending Roe. I like the fact that he always brings up how he wants to improve our educational system. I also like that he was a grassroots community organizer. I like the guy personally and politically. And I think he has something that alot of candidates don’t have. And that is, the ability to inspire.

Hillary doesn’t inspire me, she makes me feel conned.
John Edwards makes me feel like he may be alright, he just hasn’t been in politics in a while.
And Bill Richardson, he’s not forceful enough, but I like the guy.

And all the Republicans, well, they are Republicans.

OBAMA 08-final answer.

^^^^^cosign on everything you have stated

I am behind OBAMA all the way. Not for one second did I ever think to vote for Clinton. She kept on acting like a big baby and disrepecting Obama when he won in Iowa, and then to top it off her husband gets up there and calls Obama a kid. Why would you want to support people like that.. If you are black and have sense you will vote for a Black man over a White woman who is white first and then a woman. She won last night because she was white, not because she was the better candidate. Black America is once again being brain washed to believe and divide black women into voting for Clinton… I am hopeful Black America wakes up and makes the right vote.

I think just as people hate to be told who to vote for have the same anger that I feel as a Black woman - everyone assumes I am volunteering for Obama b/c he is Black(and half white, which no one seems to want to mention). I guess if Alan Keys were running I would need to vote for him to validate this theory that Black people only vote based on race. Just b/c I am voting for Obama does not mean that I am caught up in a “fairytale” or that he is raising my “false hopes”! I like the man and I like what he stands for - if you wanna know what he stand for go to

http://www.barackobama.com

I went to most of the candidates websites before I decided to donate money or volunteer in any campaign. Considering that most of his views and Hillary’s are EXCATLY the same - that was not the issue - it came down to who I thought could get things done with the country still so divided…I went with Obama. But don’t be mad at me b/c he happens to be Black - if you don’t support him that’s fine but don’t charaterize me as a sentimental fool b/c I do.

please please please anyone but hillary….please please please…..

I’m stuck, I really like Hillary I think she is a very smart person and i really think she is the most quailfy person for the job. But then you have Obama who is like fresh air something different someone who make you want to beleive he can really make a huge change. I think both canadates are great it’s just a matter of preference and who you find will best suit the country. Good luck to both of them mostly Obama!!!!.

#46…maybe they do, maybe they don’t. Who knows…who cares. The fact that record numbers of African Americans are rallying behind an African American Presidential hopeful is beyond promising. It’s about time we stick together. Who cares if they are only voting for Obama because he is black…in every Presidential Election I’ve voted in, I voted for a white person. Now…I prayerfully I will get the opportunity to vote for my own. Am I voting for him because he’s black, yes, but I’m also voting for him because I believe in his platform. Ideally I would like Obama and Hilary to team up (Pres and VP) but I doubt that will happen.
I am a black woman, I would like to have a black president and I would also like to have a woman president…black first, woman second. To all of the African Americans voting for HC b/c she’s a Clinton and Bill did a great job for us, please think again.

WHO KNEW HILL’S “ROUND TABLE CONFESSIONS” WAS THE RIGHT BUTTON TO HIT…?

Just like Dakar said, if McCain wins NH, then Obama will lose it, if Obama wins it, then McCain will lose it because people can only vote once, so there you go. It was more of a loss for Obama, rather than a win for Clinton.

- I have no problem with black people sticking together because we lack unity but if we are going to stick together it might as well be for someone with good intentions not with hidden agenda like Obama

everyone keeps saying that clinton has more experience. can anyone provide a list of her so-called experience? is it remarkable? being first lady does not constitute presidential experience.

if clinton wins, this may be the first time, i don’t vote democrat. i really don’t see how she will do anything differently then the past few presidents.

barack ‘08. i think he is the only candiddate that could possibly bring something new and productive for this country.

I am baffled as to why people are using the Three Strikes law against Hillary as if it strictly targets black people. The law only throws the book at offenders with serious offenses, not misdemeanors. Granted there are some states that have blurred lines as to what’s considered a felony (like petty theft) but we cannot blame the Clintons for this…blame ourselves for not being vocal or participating in your local state elections and not being aware of how the state will implement the laws given to them. Laws can be amended you know…..just sayin…

My whole spin on the Clinton/Obama is this…
we need someone in the White House with a clean slate…and I just don’t think that Hilary is that person. She is supported by the people who deny most of us basic healthcare coverage…and she doesn’t have nearly as much experience as she says. She has been in the NY senate for only 2 terms and thats what makes her qualified? I mean ask the people of NY (me being one of them) what has she done as a Senator and I wouldn’t be able to tell you.

I mean Hilary is a relief from Bush and she’s likable enough…but I mean lets be honest…we need someone who can move the country…and I just don’t see her doing that…most people are also only throwing support behind her because of Bill and as charismatic as he is…thats not enough…

I support Barack Obama not because he is a black man…but because he is a person that instills a fresh hope in the country… and thats something we need right now…we need someone to move us to get proactive in whats happening in our country and I don’t see that hope with Hilary Clinton…and I mean what is this EXPERIENCE that everyone keeps talking about? I mean a single mother who has to balance her finances every day, keep track of her 2 children and their daily issues, and get up and deal with the relationships at her job is qualified. We need to wake up and realize that this so called experience that everyone keeps trying to shove down our throats is just a way to stop us from doing what we not only know is right….I mean all of the so called experience that Bush had didn’t make him qualified to do the job and look where he has gotten us…

Obama 2008

Im clinton were to go up against mccain for the white house mccain would win. Im sorry with clinton as the dem nom there is no way the dems would take the white house. i consider myself independent leaning democratic. However i would vote for john mccain in a heart beat. I think the only hope for the dems to take the white house is Obama or Edwards.

Great job! Keep up the good work, and keep us informed.

I support Obama not because he is black (it doesn’t hurt that he is black). I’m going to vote for him because I truly to believe he is the best candidate in the democratic party that so happens to be black…

I am a researcher. It is what I do for a living, and I tell you all to please do your research on ALL candidates… Don’t choose by speaches, and crying eyes… go off of facts. How they vote. Who’s behind their campaigns, and why are they behind their campaigns. Don’t vote on color and gender…. VOTE because they’re the best candidate… THAT IS WHAT I’M DOING!

OBAMA 08!!!

I couldn’t wait to see this post. I have been following the election all the way and I am still shocked she won when the day before she was down like 14 points/percent she even thought she lost. I have researched Hillary and all her experience is based off Bill so just how much experience dose she have on her own? It’s always gone be easier for her than it is for him (not trying to play the race card but it’s true) so how much experience dose he have to have to satisfy her or anybody else?

I do not understand all the support all ya’ll are giving to Hilary she is the same old politician but just happens to be a women as a Latina I don’t get how black people really think this woman will give a damn about them if she is elected. Whatever

This is the problem with the BLACK COMMUNITY. There is NO UNITY. Every other group of people can come together but not BLACKS.

she only won cuz she cried…i’m female and i dont cry like that…i didnt get a feeling she cared about the country, i just felt like she just wanted to be president…just saying…

Lots of people are saying that Hillary agreed with Bush on the war, but look at the facts, Obama claimed to be against the war but later on voted yes on the patriot act, voted to spend 300 million dollars in support of the war.

And all the people asking what experience does Hillary have, just do your research, no her experience does not include being the first lady, if you would research you would know that she does in fact have the experience. She is the most electable candidate right now, if she gets the democratic nomination, then there will be a much better chance of having a democrat in office, than there will be if Obama gets the nomination.

I now see what the Republicans have been saying about the Clintons for all these years.
#11 you’ve completely noted my feelings about the Clintons. Initially, I was on the fence but the more I see the Clintons under-handed campaign tactics, the smear against Obama (while trying to keep their hands clean) and their disgusting sense of entitlement I’m completely turned -off.
If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic nomination for President I will vote Republican this year (hopefully John McCain).
I can’t stand that this woman is being so manipulative and of course outwardly courting the women’s vote. Hillary Clinton was crying not b/c she was tired or showing her human side it’s b/c she couldn’t believe in a state made up of 95% whites (Iowa) a Black Man was able to beat her. DISGUSTING!!

Obama all the way, the truth is going to finally come out about Hillary. Neither her nor Bill really give/gave a crap about Blacks. If you read books and articles published by former staffers they give the goods on the Clintons from the time they were in Arkanasas until now. The only difference between them and most of the Rep. is I know the Republicans don’t care about the issues that concern me.

Hillary has no experience except that of what her husband has, they are employing dirty tactics and with the recent statement about MLK….come on. It’s a no Brainer to me. She totally lost my respect when she cried about over the hair statement. Everything with this woman is calculated if you look hard and pay attention the real Hillary will peek through. Case in point her MLK comment, with out “the dream” there wouldn’t have been anything for the President to do., h@ll it wasn’t his dream.

BLACK WOMEN, wake the F###CK up. Finally heres a great black man who married a wonderful black woman and cherishes her. This is what we have been waiting for. Lets support him to the fullest.

1. Cosign with everyone saying that voting for Obama simply and solely based on color is stupid. So you call people “coons” and “idiots” for having their own opinions, like Shonni said, at the end of the day it’s their voice, so get over it.

2. I’m not surprised Hillary won, like I said in the Iowa topic she’s on the war path now, and she’s still a formidable force, I can admit that even though I’m not voting for her.

3. Congrats for McCain, even though he won on likeability. He’s going to have to come harder in South Carolina, especially on the immigration issues.

I knew that crying act would work. Clinton is as phoney is the day is long. I am still waiting for her next speech in front of a black audience where she goes with the fake black dialect. Damn she makes me sick.

Her tears will not work in NY, dont even try that bullshit. I am waiting for her.

@ blackunity are you saying that we should vote for obama because he is black and because he is married to a black woman? That is a mistake, race and gender should have nothing to do with this (although unfortunately it does).

BlackUnity^^^^ #100

- What you just stated is no reason whatsoever to vote for someone as president. I mean really, am I going to let his policies (which I don’t like) mean less to me than who he weds?

I just don’t understand how we as people can’t understand what is going on in this world.
We are at War, We are in a recession, we are failing in our efforts to build the relationships with other countries.
I would really like to see and Obama and Gore ticket, but we all know that it just may end up a Clinton, Gore ticket.
I really don’t want us to go backwards either but I don’t think that Hillary is going to take us to the next Level. I’m not sure who wants the Presidency more Hillary or her Husband. He has already shown that he is the one who will try to lead this country again not her, it would be a difference if he was just trying to support his wife but I believe it’s more than that. Who is going to take on the big issue is it going be her or her husband those are the question I have. I do try to follow the Politics everyday because I think that too many things are going unnoticed. How can an oil company brag about how they have made billions of dollars this year when so many upper and lower class workers are struggling. I look at how our President now gets on TV with the other leaders who states clearly that they will not support us in this fight with Afghanistan but they stand by us what kind of double talk is that? We all need to really come together as people before it’s to late.

I’m for Hillary! Our economy needs help and unfortunately, her husband knows exactly how to do it. It took him 8 years, but my family had jobs & money, gas prices weren’t through the roof and we could actually see progress in this country. I like Obama, but he’s like the rest - all talk until we SEE action. With Clinton, we felt the benefits of his presidency. I know, she’s no Bill, but she has a direct line of communication to his skills & experience at her fingertip. What exactly does Obama have? We’ll have to wait and see.

Another note, I’m personally wondering if the media is attacking Hillary so bad, that the republicans actually hope Obama wins the candicacy - so they can really lynch him. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s good and all, but the republicans will want to rip him a new asshole - something they will have trouble doing with Hillary. Now, we have Obama against Hillary - just wait until there’s Hucklabee/McCain/Romney against Obama or against Hillary. I know she teared up for some sympathy cause they were all beating up on her, but she’s no slouch - She knows how to beat um. I’m a little like #22, this smells too much like a set-up.

I like Obama - just not so quick to jump on his bandwagon cause he’s black.

We need a president who can get the job that we need done. We need to feel safe and we need jobs, medical benefits, better schools, etc.. I wish Hillary the best but if Obama does beat her out - he’ll get my vote.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLINTON, aka FEMALE BUSH aka BILL’S Wife

VOTE OBAMA!

LETS NOT START ANOTHER CYCLE OF BS IN THE US!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to hillary and mccain!!!! obama still has a very good chance! go obama!

I think all the democrats should come together and vote for a candidate even republicans can vote for. I know for a fact that if Hilary becomes the majority leader in the democratic party then there will be another republican president in office in 2008. I dont know if yall remember but they almost impeached Bill and I dont think the majority of Americans like the Clintons so Obama all the way is my vote. I think he has a chance. New Hampshire was just a set back. I think he could make it.

People need to realize that Bill Clinton’s stregnths aren’t necessarily his wife’s stregnths. I mean our economy may have thrived under him…but what does that have to do with Hillary? It seems like people are voting for her not because they agree with her politics but purely because of who her husband is and what he has done…they are not one and the same and there is no guarantee that under Hillary that there is going to be a change just because she is married to Bill…let’s really think about that…

I hate the fact that people think you are a Black Supremst just b/c you are Black and you support Obama - last time I checked he has a white mother and was raised by white grandparents - he met his Black father once of twice in his life - I like him b/c he is Obama and I think he is just as qualified and ANY other candidate. McCain is the only white man I could vote for - I just can bring myself to be hoodwinked and bamboozled by the Clintons for 8 more years! She should have ran in 04!

Brotha Jamal,how can I download that video.I don’t have any children but when I do I want them to see it too…that was a classic!Oh a almost forgot Latane,were you that white girl in the video????????? If you are a black woman I’m calling the DROP SQUAD.

People stop getting Hilary confused with her husband. She does not have a ton of experience and everything that she has been involved in has failed. Or has gotten a federal investigation. We are so willing to give her our support but do your homework on her. She is not what she is cracked up to be.

Aren’t we tired of all of these white politicians and old civil rights leader stomping up in our churches and begging for our votes and delivering nothing in return.

Do you know how extremely intelligent Barak Obama is to be in this country running for president as a black man and succeding. Hiliary Clinton did what most white people do in this country they under estimated this black man or did not even consider him a factor. He atleast deserves for us to take a look at him and listen to him before we just say we are not going to support him.

I don’t ever remember another candidate who had to fight so hard for the black vote like Mr. Obama does. This is really sad. It is okay to support each other for positive things. We don’t just have to support each other when there is jail or a lynching involved. It is okay to support this man.

im happy for clinton because they was hatin on her when she lost Iowa but its good to see shes “found her voice”! Im still torn between her & obama but i wish them both the best…

LIKE SOMONE ELSE SAID THE BUSH/CLINTONS BOTH HAVE 8 YEARS UNDER THE BELT. IT REALLY IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!! PEOPLE NEED TO STEP OUT SIDE THE BOX PEOPLE!!!!! THIS COUNTRY DESPERATELY NEEDS IT!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAH

She’s never gonna win

If a black man with little experience named Barack Hussein Obama can challenge her so bad, how is she going to win against McCain ????

Republicans hate her as HELL, probably more than Obama

She will galvanize the entire republican camp like never before… She represents the past, and Republicans will destroy her… And this time the victim/gender/emotional card won’t work

Some black folks are so ignorant thinking she’s gonna win

She’s a clown, the only reason why she made a career in politics is because of Bill

Obama made everything on his own, with little experience, black face and a muslim name, he has been able to upset the BIGGEST POLITICAL MACHINE OF THE COUNTRY, THE CLINTON MACHINE

Hillary without Bill she ain’t shit , she would never be where she is

The loyalty of black people for the Clintons is shameful… The Clintons have done nothing beside “being comfortable with us”

Im so happy for Hillary! She worked extremely hard and completely deserved to win the New Hampshire primary.

She’s clearly the most qualified candidate of either the Democratic or Republican party to reign in the White House.

I also support Obama as well, but im completely behind Clinton. I honestly dont feel Obama is ready to be the President of the United States. Yes hes handsome and charismatic, but those arent qualities that are going to “CHANGE” the economy and end the war Iraq.

I’m glad voters finally voted on the real issues, rather than likability.

# 86 THIS IS POITICS EVERYONE HAS A HIDDEN AGENDA LOL!!!! BE FOR REAL.

Hillary crying did it for her……..ain’t no crying in politics

I agree 100% sir. Black people are calling other black people “house negroes” if they don’t vote for the mixed African man that the white man has put up for them to vote for, lol. It’s inconceivable to black people that a so-called black man like Obama wouldn’t be “down for the cause”, whatever black people think the cause is, because he’s “black”. The only reason why he is a viable candidate is because he’s black without reminding white people that he’s black. This whole “vote Obama because he’s black”spiel is extremely simple-minded and short-sighted. America is on an irrevocable course to destruction and any presidents after Bush will only preside over an increasingly paranoid, militaristic, fascist state. It’s going to be the biggest hot potato, blame game anyone has ever seen once the next president enters the White House and continues the agenda and doctrines of the people that dictated to Bush. Either the incoming president will be viewed as “weak” when the “terrorists” ratchet up the threats and provocation or a warmonger as he/she continues to obliterate each neighboring Islamic country for the sake of “democracy”. I guess it depends on what you want at the end of the day. Most black people deal with appearances so, to them, being captain of a sinking ship is a privilege as long as you have the title of captain, lol. I’ve stated numerous times before, that just because a person is “negroid” in appearance doesn’t make him/her one of our people. Black people are the simplest people on the planet earth and that is why they’re always being taken advantage of. It’s like the kid in elementary school that you knew would look down whenever you told them their shoe was untied. It’s sad. Hillary will be the next president of the United States unless she pisses off the people that will put her in. She has been anointed for a while and Obama is her foil. We’ll see.

That was at #63 “African Dude”

GO HILLARY!!!!!!

It sickens me that black people are attacking other black people just b/c they’re tilting towards Hillary Clinton.

SO FUCKIN WHAT? It doesnt mean we’re brainwashed, whitewashed, or whatever. A woman like her running for the presidency HAS to be a strong non-emotional candidate b/. Who cares if she cRIED? U act as if she does it all the time. I knew that as soon as she shed tears people would call her fake and weak. And i was right. And then people claim she’ll cry to get whatever she wants, even as president. Sorry, but that is The STUPIDEST thing ive ever heard.

Do u really think her crying was actually the reason she won NH? Get real. It was more than likely the Bradley effect.

Hillary does have experience, even if its through her husband Bill. Even as First Lady she was given other roles to play. She’s made worldwide connections. She knows her stuff and she’s not going to bring this country down any worse than Bush has.

Do u really think Hillary Clinton is going to ruin our nation? People act as if she’s the fuckin’ anti-Christ. Do u really think she’s worse than Bush? And she is definitely an advocate for universal health care. It can work if its done right. I understand she is backed by Pharmaceutical companies but it doesnt make her their puppet. She’s a smart woman. Yet people dont like her and see her as too divisive.

I think Obama is a good person. Beautiful and smart wife. He would indeed make a good president. But i keep getting this feeling that he is being set up. Did u know tha some Republicans voted for the guy? They could slyly be trying to help him get the Democratic nomination with the agenda of breaking him with the Republican machine, a machine that Hillary definitely knows how to beat.

Im voting for whoever wins the Democratic Nomination, unless its Edwards which will not happen. Edwards should not be on any ticket.

And i agree with someone said up there, if u compare the two, Hillary and Obama are actually the SAME on many issues. So by working together as P and VP, things would probably run smoothly.

I still have faith in Barack Obama to win the democratic nomination. Hilary only won by 2%, will see on Super Tuesday, when the states with real weight start voting to see who’ll be on top.

Judah. Stop it!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you call people who have made some of the greatest contributions to humanity…”Simple? What do you have against yourself, that you would think so lowly or yourself! I have more respect for the elementary kid who looked down to see if his shoes were untied, than I do for the kid who lied and said they were untied!!

I don’t know if he’s “down for the cause”, but I know he’s down for his beautiful black wife and children. Is he gonna make life more difficult for them? His light skin might not remind America of his blackness, but his wife and kids sure do!

Now, I agree that the White House will be a mess when Bush leaves, so why not let Obama try to clean it up? I don’t think Obama is running as “one of our people.” His message includes everyone! Black people didn’t give him the victory in Iowa or the silver medal in NH.

Judah said:”…vote for the mixed African man that the white man has put up for them to vote for” LMAO! You are so paranoid! Do you really think that this is a $45M National Conspiracy? Who’s behind it…Bush? FBI? Bill Gates? Who? You spread confussion like a gangster rapper in a small building! Just a lot of loud yelling!

And, as much as you try to espouse God, you should know that He is the Captian of the ship! It won’t sink unless He decides to sink it! It don’t matter who gets the “privilege” of being called President! Try thinking from the stand point of the Kingdom and God’s purpose! His Glory is bigger than your bitter discourse! The gates of hell will no more prevail against America than your garbage will against CL readers! hehe…now that was poetic!

You need to take a few steps back, let go and let God!

I feel different from in the past we really do have great canidates.

White people ain’t gonna make a black man president. They lie and claim they will vote for Obama in polls and then vote for a white person. Same thing happened to Doug Wilder in the 80’s and Harold Ford in Tennessee. Hillary is going to win no matter what.

uhm KEEPING IT REAL, WTF are you talking about….keeping it real ignorant, irrelevant perhaps. Obama having a white mother is irrelevant to his “credibility” as being a black man. And your little slave comment!? when was the last time you picked cotton…since when does having had a Great Great grandparent that was a slave give one “credibility” as a black person. You are an idiot! Next.

Obama IS an attorney, has spent time in both local and Federal government. He has as much…rather MORE than one our most endeared presidents, JFK. Further, he had enough COMMON SENSE to vote AGAINST the RAPING OF IRAQ. At the end of the day I wan’t a mix of experience and common sense…Hiliary ain’t it!

I am voting straight Democrat. There is obvious concern about Hillary experience vs Obama’s experience. Well Bill led the country for 8 years. And I must say he did a fine job. The economy was great. The housing market was thriving. Health care guidelines were better accessible for the lower middle class and poor. Bill consulted with his wife on everything. If she is elected, it will be Bill again. She is going to bring the old heads from the Clinton Administration. By all means I like Obama. However, I am more comfortable with Hillary leading the country with Bill by her side. I usually support every Black candidate even Jessie Jackson back in the day… but at this day and age with the war going on and folks that are in my circle had to close businesses because the economy is sooo bad…I got to vote with someone I can trust. For some strange reason he reminds me of Condolesca Rice(one of Bush advisor’s)…I just do not get swayed by Obama’s speeches to vote. I want someone that I can trust…

I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. After what I saw her Husband say and do to “Obama” I fount myself shocked and disgusted. I was a big fan of the Clintons but not anymore. And the experience issue with Clinton is dumb sense Bill Richardson has way more then she does. Yet, somehow people believe Hillary is more experienced. What people are really voting for is Bill Clinton not Hillary.

@Meat

You love America don’t you brother, lmao? Why is it that everytime I say something, some clown thinks that I’m trying to “convert” someone, lol? Is my opinion that powerful? Are you frustrated that I’m not under the same slave mentality, mind-control, entertainment-induced indoctrination as yourself? Get over it. Do you and I’ll do me and we’ll see who is correct in the end. Simple as that. You and I both know that you have no facts, knowledge, wisdom, or precedence to back up any of that schizophrenic, exclamation point filled nonsense. I never mentioned anything about white America accepting him because he’s light-skinned, so you exposed yourself when you said that. I don’t spread confusion, “Meat”, lol. I speak sober-minded words and if it’s confusing to you; it’s because your mind is trained to accept lies as truth, so when you hear real honesty and truth, it sounds strange and unreasonable. Truth divides people, it doesn’t bring them together (Luke 12:51). America is about hustling people. The drug dealers hustle dope and the polticians hustle hope. Perpetuating false hopes to the masses of disatisfied people that believe that they should be happy because there’s nothing better than America. This is why they need some silly slogan for their campaign because they must sell their hustle. You happen to buy into Obama’s hustle. I do not. To each his own. Christ and the apostles never said,”I’ma vote for Augustus Caesar and so should you.” (even though there was no vote back then).

Are you light-skinned brother? Are you insecure about your “blackness”? I know that simple black people base their blackness off of how light or dark they are because they don’t know any better but it’s 2008 and it’s getting old. It seems like you have a serious color complex. These are the type of issues that need to be addressed in the black community that Obama is not concerned with. You also should stop using so many exclamation points. It makes you look childish and effeminate. You’re exhibit A of how small-minded and simple many of our people are. Stop holding onto the Bible as an ornament and read it. It condemns the tenets of America from Genesis (The Tower of Babel, Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.), all the way to Revelation (Revelation 18th chapter). The scriptures tell us to hate this world; which is controlled by Satan, but you love it, so what does that make you (I John 2:15)? The scriptures also go into great detail on the fate of America so if you wish to fight against that, please go ahead and condemn yourself.

Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007

Washington, DC –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list, in alphabetical order, includes:

1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary’s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

2. Rep. John Conyers (D-MI): Conyers reportedly repeatedly violated the law and House ethics rules, forcing his staff to serve as his personal servants, babysitters, valets and campaign workers while on the government payroll. While the House Ethics Committee investigated these allegations in 2006, and substantiated a number of the accusations against Conyers, the committee blamed the staff and required additional administrative record-keeping and employee training. Judicial Watch obtained documentation in 2007 from a former Conyers staffer that sheds new light on the activities and conduct on the part of the Michigan congressman, which appear to be at a minimum inappropriate and likely unlawful. Judicial Watch called on the Attorney General in 2007 to investigate the matter.

3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID): In one of the most shocking scandals of 2007, Senator Craig was caught by police attempting to solicit sex in a Minneapolis International Airport men’s bathroom during the summer. Senator Craig reportedly “sent signals” to a police officer in an adjacent stall that he wanted to engage in sexual activity. When the police officer showed Craig his police identification under the bathroom stall divider and pointed toward the exit, the senator reportedly exclaimed ‘No!’” When asked to produce identification, Craig presented police his U.S. Senate business card and said, “What do you think of that?” The power play didn’t work. Craig was arrested, charged and entered a guilty plea. Despite enormous pressure from his Republican colleagues to resign from the Senate, Craig refused.

4. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA): As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee on military construction, Feinstein reviewed military construction government contracts, some of which were ultimately awarded to URS Corporation and Perini, companies then owned by Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum. While the Pentagon ultimately awards military contracts, there is a reason for the review process. The Senate’s subcommittee on Military Construction’s approval carries weight. Sen. Feinstein, therefore, likely had influence over the decision making process. Senator Feinstein also attempted to undermine ethics reform in 2007, arguing in favor of a perk that allows members of Congress to book multiple airline flights and then cancel them without financial penalty. Judicial Watch’s investigation into this matter is ongoing.

5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayor’s office “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…” ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliani’s former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.

6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

7. I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby: Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined $250,000 for lying and obstructing the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Libby was found guilty of four felonies — two counts of perjury, one count of making false statements to the FBI and one count of obstructing justice – all serious crimes. Unfortunately, Libby was largely let off the hook. In an appalling lack of judgment, President Bush issued “Executive Clemency” to Libby and commuted the sentence.

8. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention” last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.

9. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who promised a new era of ethics enforcement in the House of Representatives, snuck a $25 million gift to her husband, Paul Pelosi, in a $15 billion Water Resources Development Act recently passed by Congress. The pet project involved renovating ports in Speaker Pelosi’s home base of San Francisco. Pelosi just happens to own apartment buildings near the areas targeted for improvement, and will almost certainly experience a significant boost in property value as a result of Pelosi’s earmark. Earlier in the year, Pelosi found herself in hot water for demanding access to a luxury Air Force jet to ferry the Speaker and her entourage back and forth from San Francisco non-stop, in unprecedented request which was wisely rejected by the Pentagon. And under Pelosi’s leadership, the House ethics process remains essentially shut down – which protects members in both parties from accountability.

10. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV): Over the last few years, Reid has been embroiled in a series of scandals that cast serious doubt on his credibility as a self-professed champion of government ethics, and 2007 was no different. According to The Los Angeles Times, over the last four years, Reid has used his influence in Washington to help a developer, Havey Whittemore, clear obstacles for a profitable real estate deal. As the project advanced, the Times reported, “Reid received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Whittemore.” Whittemore also hired one of Reid’s sons (Leif) as his personal lawyer and then promptly handed the junior Reid the responsibility of negotiating the real estate deal with federal officials. Leif Reid even called his father’s office to talk about how to obtain the proper EPA permits, a clear conflict of interest.

if obama doesn’t win the black woman vote in SC he will rappers to thank for that. they have done nothing but preach misogyny for years. He can also thank the preachers who preach women should submit.

DID YOU KNOW THAT HILLARY DID NOT HOLD A SECURITY CLEARANCE FOR A GREAT DEAL OF TIME WHILE SHE WAS FIRST LADY? THAT MEANS THAT SHE DID NOT AND NEVER READ MANY OF THE BRIEFINGS WHICH IMPACTED FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

I DON’T CARE ABOUT EXPERIENCE ANYMORE AS SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE…YOUR WHOLE TEAM CAN BE FULL OF EXPERIENCE BUT IF YOUR JUDGMENT IS WEAK THEN NO EXPERIENCE WILL FIX THAT, AS HISTORY HAS SHOWN US. THAT IS WHY I AM A FULL SUPPORTER OF OBAMA. HE HAS THE JUDGMENT TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY INTO THE RIGHT PATH BECAUSE IN THE END HE IS THE ONE WHO WILL MAKE THE DECISIONS.

IF HILLARY CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT NOW, IMAGINE HOW IT WILL BE IF SHE BECAME OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. OBAMA 08!!

I don’t get it black people this is what we have been waiting for a black man who is educated and about something to run for president. This is the dream of Dr. King, what people have died for ,cried for,and bleed for and were sitting around saying well life was good for black people when bill was president let’s try his wife you dont owe the clintons namesake but we do owe all the people black and white who died and march, to see that all they did was not in vain by giving Barak Obama a chance to show the world that black people have the mind and talent and skill to lead a great nation. my spirit would be crushed to know that we came oh so close but because of the efforts of African Americans inability to support someone who not only looks like them but has a great mind we are left to wait 500 more years.No, you should not vote for Sen.Obama because of what you see you should also vote by what you hear and read do your own research and see what he’s done and what he has’nt done and if you stilll feel Sen. Clintons your president than more power to you but give the man a chance and don’t pick the leader of the free world because of her husband record BECAUSE HE WILL NOT BE THE PRESIDENT..

how can he be the dream when he’s anti affirmative action

For all you people saying Hillary is so experienced, what in the hell has done in the senate that impressed you so much? I can’t think of a damn thing. Y’all do know that Obama has served more years than Hillary as an elected official, right? Or do you just listen to what she says and take everything as the truth without questioning it? Do you really think as a black person that Hillary is concerned about your community? The only time she’s ever in a black neighborhood, is when she goes to a black church to try to get votes. And you best believe that the media is there to record it, ’cause she damn sure wouldn’t be there otherwise. Obama as been in the black neighborhoods working with black churches to help improve living conditions. Can you say the same about Hillary? For everyone on the Hillary bandwagon just because she barely won the NH primary, go to Obama and Hillary’s websites and read their bios and about their issues and don’t just blindly follow Hillary just because her last name is Clinton. Also, none of you Hillary supporters find it strange that Bill is so involved with Hillary’s campaign? I mean, is she running for president or is he?
