Obambi won’t show up because he can’t take criticism. Wahhh!!!!!!!! You hurt my feewings. The man is made of teflon suit. And empty suit but teflon notheless. He’s not allowed to be criticized or questioned especially in an unprepared format or his cover will be blown.

You have to admit that is a nice picture of her…

Obambi’s healthcare insurance plan is mandatory as well. It requires that every parent buy insurance for their child.

I personally did not vote because of race or gender. I researched both candidates and their policy views, and I came to the conclusion that I like Barack’s plans better. Personally, I have never been big fan of Hillary (I think she’s very condescending) but I tried to be fair in deciding who to vote for.

SO THE VOTES ARE IN

WE SHOULD ALL VOTER FOR HILLARY BECAUSE THIS “MIGHT” BE A SET UP.

BEST STRATEGY I’VE HEARD IN YEARS- SMFH

@Onemil02

For your information, I happen to like Hillary. Yes, I support Obama for many reasons, just like you support Hillary. But I’m not going to come up with any ridiculous reasons not to support Hillary or to even bash her. Life is about choices and what makes you think that yours are any better than others? You can write long @ss comments all you want, it just confirms just how ignorant you are.

FLYLIKEME, No you vote for her because her plans are far superior to O’bambis.

Now as a young African American male, 21, and in college, there is finally a candidate that speaks to me. Now although Hillary is just as capable as him, his Non- Partisan ways and ability to reach both Democrats and Independents (and a few Republicans) is nothing short of amazing. I am a big Politics junkie (I watch CNN all the time) and I have done research on all the candidates (read Clinton’s 13 point plan and Obama’s pdf file on both their websites). Now I am not some person who screams everytime they see Obama and believes that he can walk on water, but the man has integrity and class, and hope. What is wrong with hope and what is wrong with inspiring young people to get out and vote for someone who they believe in. This country needs someone to unite us all, because for almost 20 something years, we have been divided based on partisan politics. As a whole, I think that both Obama and Hillary being involved in politics has been great for this election.

As for why Hillary has a long shot….I think is because of the combination of the media, and her own campaign mistakes. In the beginning, she thought that she had the nomination wrapped up, and it would come down to her and Giuliani, and Primaries would only last till Super Tuesday. Now the media is also been as bad on her and not rightfully so. But I believe that it is because Obama is black, and any thing said towards him could be interpreted as underhanded racism. Also, Bob Johnson’s and Bill Clinton’s comments in South Carolina really did muck up things for her…things that were somewhat out of her hand. I am not really saying she is innocent, as she had said some things herself.

I think that the point I am getting at is that old politics don’t work anymore. The US is going through a recession, our status as global hegemony is probably going to dissipate, and we owe China and other asian countries Trillions of dollars because of Bush and “no new taxes” placing our future generations and government/social security financial institutions in grave danger.

I am not saying that Obama is the absolute best candidate, but we need change, we need it now, and I believe that he is the best man to do it.

Tavis Smiley is a hater. He is just trying to sell books. He is on the Clinton’s nuts because Bill mentioned Tavis’ book in his book. He is just jealous because he has no importance in the black community. Tavis Smily is a Biotch!

Right so now Tavis Smiley is also to be crucified because he questions O’Bambi? You obamaloons are so funny! LOL

ITALWAYSBEENME

No, you are the ignorant one not me. Your criticized my choice first of all with the wack slavery reference which was so out of line. I made my choice you made yours. But I didn’t call you one name in my prior post. So you the ignorant fool, not me. What it is the truth hurts, and you know it. I don’t have to say anything to you cause I will be proven right in the fall if he gets the nod. So fall back and come correct, as of now you don’t exist. Kick rocks!!

Not as funny as you house negros.

IF YOU DIDN’T GET A CHANCE READ MY POST THEN HERE IT IS AGAIN.

I love my black people sooo much but you guys have to be realistic about this election. Obama is a very intelligent candidate. He’s actually comparable to Bill Clinton at the time he was running for office. But this is all a setup by the Republican Party. I know every bodies like “YEAH RIGHT” but it’s true. Remember Super Tuesday when Hilary and Obama were in a race for delegates. Well the very next day Obama’s campaign raised 7.1 million dollars. Now you tell me which one of our black leaders donated that much money to his campaign. You can’t because I checked. That money came from several companies that are ran by Republicans. The only black leader that gave that type of money was Oprah and that was 1.4 million the week before. So to all my Black People , Please vote the right way. Don’t be IGNORANT. Let me give you the actual definition of that word ( IGNORANT- 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man. (2).lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact )

P.S.- Do me a favor and visit your neighborhood bookstore and tell me why there’s about 10 different books bashing Hilary but there are only 2 or 3 books about Obama and their all praising him. “Go Figure”

I LIVE IN TEXAS AND I AM WILLING TO PAY ANYBODY IN AMERICA AND ON THIS SITE $200.00 IF THEY CAN FIND ME “ONE” BOOK THAT BASHES OBAMA. TO MAKE EASIER FOR YOU, JUST GO TO http://WWW.AMAZON.COM AND JUST SEARCH BOTH BARACK OBAMA BOOKS AND HILLARY CLINTON BOOKS. Here’s my E-mail address ( samuelhggns@gmail.com ) I’m serious !!!!

I DONT THINK WACK MUSIC IS A HOUSE NEGRO, HE OR SHE IS CLEARLY WHITE

——WOW, Hillary has some beautiful eyes and I love the short hair on her! hehe!

Go finish watching Conspiracy Theory starring Mel Gibson. You’re just to good to be true, can’t keep my eyes off of you. The f*ck outa here.

You know wack music, I was just criticized for my choice, but Tavis is wrong cause he doesn’t support Obama. YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS EVERYONE DOESN’T WORSHIP HIM LIKE YOU PEOPLE DO. I am watching CNN right now and there were talking about the Cuba issue from the debate last night. And you know how Obama said he would meet without preconditions and Hill said they would have to show progress first. Well they just said, he can’t do that what he is saying that there are laws he has to follow at least with Cuba, that they have to show progress in their government along with other things. More and more just shows how green that man really is. All talk

LMAO @ The King of Meats #86

They need to stick to those kind of blogs.

IF THIS IS ALL A SET UP, THEN THE REPUBLICANS SHIOULD WIN FOR SUCH A CAREFULLY CALCULATED AND CLEVER PLOY, I GIVE THEM MAD PROPS

FLYLIKE

So far their plan is going according to plan.

fly like me I’m black. And I happen to have worked in politics for a long time. I find it funny now that an intelligent black man comes along who is clearyl inexperienced for the office of the presidency and has weak plans that everyone now jumps on the boat.

lmao….. if Obama told you guys to drink the “kool-aid” most of you would do it with no questions asked wouldn’t you? A man who thinks as president he could negotiate with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran who claims the holocaust never happened, there are no gays in Iran, and other ludicrous things, is delusional. “IF” he makes it there, Washington is going to eat him alive.

onemil I know how it is. I have family members supporting him just because he is black and intelligent. No knowledge of his plans and I know if the knew them they would vote for Hillary over him. But you can’t tell people anything. Obama is one smooth talker.
And I don’t believe in conspiracies. This isn’t a conspiracy or anything. It is so obvious and blatant. It’s called strategy or as Bush likes to say strategeri.

Obama Shows Just How Naive He Is When It Comes To Foreign Policy

INCIDENT 1: On 1 August 2007, Senator Obama expressed in his speech at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars his willingness to bomb Pakistani territory in an attempt to eliminate possible al-Qaeda training bases.

RESULT: American flags were burned in protest in Islamabad, Miranshah, and Karachi. On that occasion, Pakistan’s foreign minister, Khursheed Kasuri, told AP, “It’s a very irresponsible statement, that’s all I can say.”

LESSON: Even if you don’t completely trust a vital ally (President Musharraf), you don’t publically state that you’re willing to bomb his country.

INCIDENT 2: During the campaign for the Iowa caucus, Senator Obama stated that he would “stop the import of all toys from China.”

RESULT: An angry response by Qin Gang, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, describing the statement as “unobjective, unreasonable and unfair.”

LESSON: You don’t directly attack the economic interests of a country that’s holding 1 trillion dollars in US treasuries.

These episodes derive from a total inexperience on foreign policy. But, rest easy America — as Obama claims — his four years living as a child in Indonesia gave him a solid understanding of the world.

@ Wack Music

I am still waiting for you at address her plan to cover ileagal immigrants or the fact that the state of NY fixed the primary in her favor or the fact that a ethics suit was filed against her in an CA court. Also she plans to end a war in 60 days within taking office. I have researched her and her husband (since I was young when he was in office) and I do not see what all the hype about the Clintons is, so if you will please let me know I will appreciate it.

Also ad the website where I can find this info
Thank You
Barack 08

———Its all a Republican conspiracy! A set-up! A hood wink!
———They got together last night and came up with this scheme!

and like i said mad props to em, and good job…

wack music his plans are almost identical to hillary’s yet its weak? and ure backing hillary? you must be a dumbass,

no im not gonna fuckin vote for hillary because of some fuckin lame controversy.

youtube it…lol

I don’t believe the hype about Obama! We need experience not hope, you get paid more when you have experience, hope doesn’t pay the bills.

ALL PEOPLE AREN”T FOR OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE’S BLACK IT’S BECAUSE HE’S A GREAT CANINDATE. WHY WOULD WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN’T MANAGE HER CAMPAIGN MONEY BUT WANTS TO LEAD THE COUNTRY WITH BILLIONS OF AMERICAN FUNDS? COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!

Obama doesn’t manage his money either… his “people” take care of that

100, im still waiting for her resume to be reeled off to me, i need proof of her experience.

To H-TOWN CHIC.

Hillary was in no way in control of that money and neither is Obama for his campaign so that show’s how much you know about politics.

Do me a favor and list 5 things reason’s that Obama is a better candidate than Hillary. If you can’t I suggest you SHUT “THE FUCK UP”. Ooops. Did I say that?

I don’t plan to vote for Obama or Clinton, they’re both way too liberal for me. But after reading many of the comments, I can see why so many CL readers will vote for either of the two. So many people want to know what a candidate is going to give them or do for them. Both Clinton and Obama are singing the same old Democrat song - government benefits (aka handouts and giveaways), even distribution of wealth (aka take money from “evil rich people” that earned it and give it to poor people that didn’t), “creating jobs” (aka spend more of other people’s hard-earned money to employ people who can’t cut it in the private sector and pay them more than they’re worth)… you know, same old stuff. I wish more Americans, especially Black Americans, would realize that it’s people - not government- that make this country great. Wealth isn’t distributed, it’s earned. Government doesn’t create jobs, entrepreneurs who start businesses create jobs. Anything that government gives, that money was taken from someone else. By the way, for those of you who think “Universal Healthcare” is such a great idea, why don’t you stop getting your information from network nightly news and do your own research on countries that have single payer systems (i.e. Canada, England). Read about the ridiculous wait times for routine diagnostic testing and life-saving surgeries. Read about how so many Canadians jump the border to come here for procedures instead of dropping like flies while they wait for their government rationed “health care”. WAKE UP PEOPLE! The U.S. Government wants you to be dependent on them! Bottom line: no elected official, politician or bureaucrat can solve all of your problems. We should be working harder as individuals and a community to improve ourselves, not waiting on government to save us.

Amen KAY-OH. But I still gotta go with Hillary. You’re right on the money though !!!

I’m going to vote March 4 and my vote is for Obama. I’ve done my research already and I don’t need any blogger to sway my decision.

Barack Obama 2008 All the way! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 REASONS FOR 104

1) HILLARY IS BUSH IN A SKIRT, SHE MAKES STUPID DECISIONS I.E IRAQ AND HER HEALTHCARE PLAN THAT SHE COULDN’T EVEN GET PASSED WITH HER HUSBAND IN OFFICE. SHE’S STUCK IN HER WAYS, DOESNT LISTEN, CHECK HER OUT LAST NIGHT AND HOW STUBBORN SHE IS, INTENT ON RUNNING A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST OBAMA BECAUSE SHE IS DESPERATE. WHILE SHE IS HYPOCRTICAL, AND BORROWED JOHN EDWARD’S LINES FOR HER CLOSING SPEECH SO SHE CAN APPEAR “HUMAN”

2) THIS MAY SOUND CORNY BUT HILLARY CANNOT UNIFY THIS COUNTRY, AND THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE UNIFIED IN ORDER FOR US TO DEAL WITH THE CRISIS AFTER BUSH. SHE CANNOT INSPIRE/MOTIVATE (INCLUDE OTHER CORNY WORDS HERE) THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA TO JOIN TOGETHER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SHE IS HATED BY REPUBLICANS, SHE COMES WITH WAY TOO MUCH BAGGAGE AND I DONT KNOW WHO WILL LISTEN TO HER IF SHE WERE TO WIN. CLOSE TO NOTHING WILL GET DONE.

3) SHE FLIP FLOPS, SHE SAYS CONVENIENTLY WHAT SHE NEEDS TO SAY TO GET VOTES. E.G HER STANCE ON IMMIGRATION (DRIVER’S LICENSES) HAS CHANGED MORE THAN LIL BOW WOW’S SWAGGER JACKING. - YOUTUBE IT

4) SPECIAL INTERESTS, LOBBYISTS ETC…SHES TOO INTERTWINED WITH THESE PEOPLE. YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY ITS ALL ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW, WELL SHE KNOWS TOO MANY…AND THEY ARE TOO INVOLVED IN HER CAMPAIGN AND WILL BE IN HER PRESIDENCY. WE NEED TRANSPARENCY IN GOVT….

5) WHERE THE FUCK IS THE EXPERIENCE? PLEASE SHOW ME, OTHER THAN BEING BILL’S WIFE AND OCCASSIONALLY TRAVELLING ABROAD AS THE FIRS LADY SHE HASN’T DONE MUCH MORE THAN OBAMA, WHO IN FACT HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE LONGER THAN HER. AND PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE HAS DONE FOR NY?

“Obama served eight years in the Illinois state Senate and is halfway through his first term in the U.S. Senate. Clinton is about to begin her eighth year in the U.S. Senate. Going by years spent as an elective official, Obama’s 11 years exceeds Clinton’s seven”

35YRS OF EXPERIENCE?

“Thirty-five years takes you back to 1973, half of which Hillary spent in law school, for crying out loud. I don’t mean to denigrate her professional experience. Clinton worked many years in corporate and public-interest law, performed advocacy work for the Children’s Defense Fund and other groups, and was a university lecturer”

“HILLARY’S EXPERIENCE”- MUST READ

Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most
qualified candidate for president based on her ‘record,’ which she says includes
her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or ‘co-president’ -
and her seven years in the Senate.

Here is a reminder of what that record includes:
- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a
process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill
Bradley and Patrick Moynihan, key votes needed to pass her
legislation, that she would ‘demonize’ anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed;
she couldn’t even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own
party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House
and Senate.)

- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney
General. Her first two recommendations, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, were forced
to withdraw their names from consideration. She then chose Janet Reno.
Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as ‘my worst mistake.’
- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights
Commission. When Guanier’s radical views became known, her name had to
be withdrawn.
�
- Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince
Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department,
White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later
imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to
resign.
�
- Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig
Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security.
When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI
files of Clinton enemies and the widespread use of drugs by White House
staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him.
FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing in 1996, both the drug use and Hillary’s involvement in hiring
Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison
Office,��after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.
�
- In order to open in the White House for her friends
the Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be
awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel
Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for ‘gross mismanagement’ and
their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one,
Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White
House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two
hours.
�
- Another of Hillary’s assumed duties was directing the ‘bimbo
eruption squad’ and scandal defense:
—- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.
—- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to
the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million
dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica
Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his
affairs.,� Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.
—- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury
—- And Bill was impeached by the House.
—- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and
obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, ‘I
do not recall,’ ‘I have no recollection,’ and ‘I don’t know’ 56 times
under oath).
— - Hillary wrote ‘It Takes a Village,’ demonstrating her Socialist
viewpoint
—- Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had
never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get
Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support.
Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother’s clients, for a small fee, to get
financial support
—- Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return
$200,000in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.
- In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the ‘woman card’ by
portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.

- Hillary’s husband further protected her by asking the National
Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their
time in the White House, including much of Hillary’s correspondence
and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of
those records.)

- As the junior Senator from New York , Hillary has passed no major
legislation. She has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend
to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of
workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.
Quite a resume. �Sounds more like an organized crime family’

O.M.F.G!!! What auction block did Hilary purchase some of you Negroes from??? This latest conspiracy theory kills me. The Republicans are cross voting because they know Hilary is the better, more electable candidate. GTFO!!! Please believe, that Republicans are exaggerating their hate for John McCain as a way to underestimate their voting power come November. I believe that (!), but Hilary has nothing to offer that will grab swing voters or Independents come time for the General Election. In what could be the most important election of our lifetime, people are going to vote for their party regardless of the candidate. America is going through a power struggle, and its going to the get dirty whether its Obama or Hilary representing the Democrats.

And Hilary supporters are as bad as Beyonce stans, its so ridiculous. I respect Hilary and all, and she’s certainly the more polished politician, but I also like how Obama is the more green of the two. If I wanted “business as usual” in Washington, then I would be voting for her. Although her supporters claim that the concept of change is superficial, it offers a profound message. If America changes the way they play politics and run the government, then true change (for the better) may finally happen. The typical politician will never offer that type of change.

For all this talk about her experience and Barack just being a good speaker —
check this out….

the following statements really surprised me, and demonstrate who has really been working in behalf of the people.

The facts will amaze you.

Please don’t fail to share this enlightening information in this election year.

Let’s take a closer look at who’s really qualified and or who’s really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or Clinton.

Records of these two candidates should be scrutinized in order to make an informed decision.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years. These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress http://www.thomas.loc.gov, but to save you trouble, I’ll post them here for you.

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.

2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.

3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.

5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.

6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea.

7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.

8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.

9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.

10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.

11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.

12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.

13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.

14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.

15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton’s bills are, more substantive. 16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.

17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11 18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.

19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.

20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

There you have it, the fact’s straight from the Senate Record.

Now, I would post those of Obama’s, but the list is too substantive, so I’ll mainly categorize.

During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced :

233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded

The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law,
The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law,
The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law,
The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill,
In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.

An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.

He’s not a talker.

He’s a doer.

I will never vote for Hillary. She won’t even admit she made a mistake when she voted to give George Bush the authority to invade Iraq. I wanted Edwards to win, but now I will go with Obama. If Hillary wins the nomination I will stay home.

maybe if you’d titled this post political OPINION or political REVIEW. it’s not NEWS when you pick only one side of the story on a person and don’t delve into any of the opposing views. frankly, i find this post very irresponsible, and am disappointed in concreteloop for posting it as a regular post rather than an opinion post or instead of doing a “concrete loop endorses obama” post. i usually find concreteloop to be one of the across the board least biased sites on black culture. this is absurd. you really messed up with this one!

Flylike, i agree with you 100%

@113

You will see, they did it in 2004 and they are doing it again. You Obama people have on blinders basically, so it is a waste of time talking to you And again we should go for Barack because he black, you GTFO!!

#117: Why should it be named Political Opinion or Political Review?

As I mentioned earlier, the introduction is what’s throwing people for a loop (no pun intended) and is based on articles from CNN and The New York Times.

Again, that means that those outside sources do not represent the views and opinions of Concrete Loop.

Peace and blessings,
J. Dakar

Obama never said that if he weas elected that all of America or black people’s problems would go away. Stop letting these Fox News analyst put give you your opinions, They are saying anything to get you to not vote for Obama. Vote for who you want to, but don’t be a weak-minded idiot. I had alot of respect for Hilary before this campaign but all of this negativity that she is coming up with is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. It looks like her white hood is showing.

118, I am convinced that you must be on Hilary’s payroll. And btw, if people are simply voting for Barack because he’s black, then where was Jesse’s and Al’s support? Once again, Hellary supporters sware by God that she has some stellar record of public service. I don’t see it, and I’ve done the research. All of this alleged experience of hers is by way of being a former first lady, having more years in congress, and simply being older. If that’s the case than John McCain is more qualified than anyone. Her campaign of experience and substance over style is starting to fall over deaf ears. Speaking of which, I don’t know why I bother with those on the verge of lunatic fringe. It made more sense when black people weren’t voting for him because they were afraid of him getting assassinated..

did neone see the debate last nite?? it was obamas best YET!! poised, confident, articulate…i actually got chills cus it was the first time i could actually (really and truly) picture him as the president of the united states of america! SOOOO whatever, biased or not…i’ll be voting for him MARCH 4th here in OHIO!!

yes.

Concrete Loop I have to say I am disappointed, I thought you guys were unbiased in your political coverage but I was wrong. You don’t mention about Obama’s blatant plagiarism talk about Hillary borrowing “words” when it was nothing like what Obama did, lifting whole passages from other peoples speeches, and what is sad is that his whole campaign is based around his speeches and his messages but they are stolen, why should we vote for a man who offers nothing but inspirational speeches, but they aren’t even his own.

We are on our way to making the same mistake that the people of Massachusetts made.

“It’s time to put our cynicism down. Put it down. Stand with me and take that leap of faith. Because I’m not asking you to take a chance on me. I’m asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations. Take a chance on hope.”

Barack Obama, right?

Wrong.

These are the words of Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, the first African-American to move into the Governor’s Mansion in the commonwealth’s 218 year history after defeating his opponent, a woman, Kerry Healey, the former Lieutenant-Governor of the state under Republican Governor Mitt Romney.

Deval Patrick and his good friend Barack Obama have much more in common than their prosaic words, the depth of the color of their skin, their Harvard backgrounds, and their female political opponents. Neither man can/could claim a mountain of legislative experience prior to their runs, although Patrick’s credentials were far more impressive than those of Senator Obama’s.

Patrick had served as an assistant attorney general in the Clinton Administration, best-known for heading the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Still, he had no experience in Massachusetts politics, and since all politics is local, and Patrick was seeking the Massachusetts governorship, his inexperience should have been an issue in the campaign. It wasn’t.

The electorate was too mesmerized by Patrick’s charm offensive, his promise of the politics of hope, and his “Yes we can,” campaign slogan to care about the particulars.

Where have we heard that before?

It is no coincidence that Patrick’s rhetoric is eerily similar to that of Democratic party presidential contender, Barack Obama. Both men’s campaigns were/are conducted under the genius of political operative David Axelrod.

Studying the genesis of Patrick’s win has to be disheartening for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Patrick not only won the election through a grassroots campaign that touched the people’s hearts but he won big, seducing the party apparatchik into his camp as he manipulated the delegate count in ways it hadn’t been played before.

And, much like Senator Obama is doing, Patrick campaigned under little if any scrutiny, the electorate jumping on his soaring train of roaring rhetoric and inspiring message of hope for a better tomorrow, exactly the same style grassroots campaign that Senator Obama is mounting today.

Here’s a description of Patrick’s primary campaign from Frederick Clarkson of The Daily Kos posted September 2, 2006:

“While Reilly (Patrick’s opponent in the primary) continued to raise massive amounts of money, Patrick patiently played his own game; defied the odds and the tsk tsking of The Conventional Wisdom. He inspired people to get serious about electing someone different — someone who could and would make a difference.

“He was and is a candidate who actually talks with you when you meet him; not just serving up premasticated sound bites. Out of the initial enthusiasm, he forged an effective grassroots organization that won more than enough delegates to be the official nominee of the Democratic state convention. He gave an oration at the convention that brought people to their feet, cheering.”

But it is what happened to Governor Patrick following his election that is relevant to the story. It is a cautionary tale of an unvetted candidate getting his win and then finding himself woefully unprepared for the position he secured in a brilliantly run campaign. America take heed.

Patrick’s first year in office has been a train wreck. But that’s what happens when a politician runs as an “idea” as much as a “human politician,” these the words of journalist Charles Pierce in his must-read piece The Mis-Education of Duval Patrick in The Boston Globe.

Pierce goes on to say: “Because of the nature of the campaign he ran. Patrick has spent his entire first year walking a thin line between two cliches of the established political narrative.

“There is the reformer who spends all of his time at loggerheads with the culture of The Building, watching his cherished proposals vanish in the Legislature like a bowling ball dropped into a vat of oatmeal. And then there is the reformer who “sells out” to the established power against which he ran, thereby disillusioning the primary base of his support.”

I point this out for the obvious reason, and more. I am thinking of Senator Clinton’s big win in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on Super Tuesday, when everyone was certain that Barack Obama would win Massachusetts having the weight of his friend the Governor, the Kennedy machine and the Commonwealth’s junior Senator John Kerry behind his candidacy.

I’m wondering if Senator Clinton’s stunning Massachusetts victory wasn’t only a vote for her but equally a redux of the vote for Governor Patrick. And a warning, a cautionary tale, for America’s voters, not to fall prey as Massachusetts did to the empty rhetoric of inexperienced but charming and poetic politicians.

#124: We have mentioned Obama’s plagiarism claim not once, but twice.

Peace and blessings,

#12 I’m with you all the way. The get Obama that nomination and when it comes time to vote in november, they gonna vote republican.

For all you folks that think racism will end with Obama as President, you are fooled. its only gonna get worse. You aint getting your 40 acres and a mule.

I was gonna write a long post but why bother. Obama is clearly the best democratic candidate and will be our next President!!!!

Obama ‘08

@17 are you freakin kidding me do you really think that hillary the liar would show up to anything black if she wasnt losing at this point and losing badly as far as the black vote is concerned…what is so sad is people like you are so gullable by her tricks..

1) Obama’s Healthcare Plan is Mandatory in many respects. He requires ALL Parents to BUY Healthcare Insurance for their children. Stop lying and saying that Hillary’s plan is mandatory and Obama’s is not.

2) Obama has said time and time gain (out of naivety) in debates that he has no problems giving driver’s licenses to illegal workers without preconditions or questions. Hillary said she would give them driver’s licenses if they were in guest worker programs or if they were working towards or became a U.S. Citizen.

3) You think the teflon does not have scandals. Let’s see: Rezko, Nuclear Bill (Exelon), Farrahakhan trip, Ultra Liberal, Gay Sex Scandal, Crack Use, Islamic Schooling, and Whatever else the Republicans have dug up on him I’m sure will come to light soon. Don’t think for one second that for as much crap as they sling at Hillary they won’t sling at Obama twice as hard.

loll@ gay sex scandal..lmaooooo

@126 great job … on the election coverage i always look forward to reading your articles..

@114 you took the word right out of my mouth
@119 i really hope hilliar is paying you for all the nonsense you are speaking

oh yeah obama 08

you know, if you want your political posts to be taken seriously, and the black opinion overall to mean something to white america, you can start by changing the undeniable BiASED introduction to your posts. this whole country gives biased opinions, but damn that was horrid!!

well yea, its obvious who you’re rooting for eh?? it sure as hell aint hilary..arent you supposed to just give facts,not making it obvious who you like and dislike?? at least, thats what i learned in journalism..

The grammar in this post is absolutely ridiculous! …….I can’t understand half the crap that’s posted. Some of you need to enroll in English 101 before discussing politics……it’s a shame!

Hillary Clinton in ‘08!! Their is no CHANGE without a PLAN! We can all talk change, but we need plans to see these changes through!

#115 ThinkAboutIt

Normally I wouldn’t even get involved in this debate. But if you really knew what you were talking about you would not repost an email that is completely bias and wrong. Please go check out the United States Senate Website and get your facts straight.

It is utterly sad that most people in America do not understand what goes on at the United States Capitol. First, Obama and Clinton are freshman and Junior members of Congress. Neither of them is going to have as many bills that actually passed in the Senate like McCain. Clinton has Sponsored and Cosponsored hundreds of bills and resolutions. Also, during Clinton’s first term the Senate was controlled by Republicans, pretty much her entire 1st term, which makes it extremely hard for a freshman democrat to pass any bill.

I also want to point out that no matter who gets elected a President can only do so much. Congress plays a major roll in what happens in the USA. Furthermore, Members of Congress are not responsible for how your local town, city, state are fairing. They deal only in National Policy if your city is run down do not blame a Member of Congress look to your local elected officials like your Governor, mayor, or city council member.

jayla please shut up now you sound so stupid
ill SAY it again

IT’S A FUCKING CAMPAIGN ITS ALL FUCKING PROMISES, A PROMISE OF PLANS TO BE IMPLEMENTED….
IS HILLARY GETTING INTO ACTION AT HER RALLIES WHEN SHES PROMISING HER HEALTHCARE PLAN? NO, SHE’S PROMISING TOO…IT STILL HAS TO GET PASSED.
EVERYONE’S PROMISING….PLEASE GO SOME WHERE WITH THAT FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!

MAYBE YOU FOOLS ARE SO CONFUSED BY HIS BIG WORDS AND ELABORATE SPEECHES THAT YOU DON’T SEE HIM LAYING OUT HIS PLAN CONSTANTLY AND CLEARLY AND ALSO HIS UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS NOT AN EASY ROAD, THAT IT TAKES HARD WORK!

*** PLUS HIS PLAN IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO HILLARY’S SO HOW THE FUCK IS THAT CHANGE WITHOUT A PLAN, YET U SUPPORT HILLARY’S PLAN? IT’S OKAY TO HAVE A PREFERENCE, I DON’T CARE IF U VOTE FOE HILLARY BUT DON’T SAY THIS MAN DOESN’T HAVE A PLAN. THAT’S NONSENSE!***

Uncle’s Tom and Sambo are in full effect on this topic. How in the hell can someone try to tear this man down this way? If he is truly inept, he could never have gotten this far. What are you saying? Bush is the most inept president of our time, but he can be that way-he is white after all….

Obama is an intelligent man of principle. Hillary is intelligent but is reviled by many in high places. Barack is the man whether you like it or not!

BARACK OBAMA: THE WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9P15YZrnv0

Hillary and Bill showed their true colors durng this campaign and if she gets the nod I will note vote for her. I will due a write-in.

If Hillary is so qualified, what did she vote for the stupid war

Hillary fans are so delusional, look how they try everything to make her win

Now their argument is we should first of all vote for their favorite candidate Clinton then Obama would have the experience needed to make a successful run for President in ‘16 …

Yeah right, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me…

Yeahn right, and what happened if Clinton was a bad president, Obama’s chances will be screwed up just like Al Gore in 2000…

I don’t vote based on fake promises

Look how they automatically presume the idea that Obama will be beaten by Republicans while all polls show that Hillary is the weakest candidate and the most polarizing, look how they presume the idea that Obama won’t be a good president …

Right now Obama is proven all of them wrong, I remember few moths ago when Clinton supporters thought she was the invincible nominee and how Obama had no chance to win…

@ #37….You have yet to explain Obama’s plans for change! You must first have a plan before Congress even considers bringing this nonsense to the House (talk is cheap)! I respect your comments, although you try to demean mine; it’s fine and expected from someone of your intellect.

It’s really unfortunate that we have to revert to adolescent name-calling to try and get our points across……it shows a great lack of maturity, and a great deal of uneducated ignorance! I won’t rewind the hands and explain my comments to you again, because your ignorance of politics really shine through, and it’s really sad! I’m done here………(back to studying for my Doctoral Degree)

We honestly need to question black politicians people. I just met with Maxine Waters at El Camino Community College for the Congressional Black Caucuses in Community Colleges, I am a community educator, so I kindly asked the Honorable Congresswoman if Barbra Lee, and several other black politicians can work with me on getting some H.A.V.A (Help America Vote Act frm 2002) funding to help educate minority/black students on voter education and Ballot initiatives, which are very big out here in Cali. She looked at me like I was crazy, and until this day, I still have not heard from her office.
My point is this, we honestly have to start making our black incumbent politicians accountable…Ms. Waters, Cynthia McKinney as well as Charlie Wrangle from NY, are these “SUPER DELEGATES” that we keep hearing about. If Wrangle was involved with this, and these SUPER DELEGATES know that black people want to warm up and vote for Obama, knowing that they are backing the Clintons…is a really messed up my people. Luckily for me although Barbra Lee wants to back the Clintons, the people out here in the BAY AREA are backing Obama, so she has no choice.
The fact of the matter is that Hillary has to take a sweep in TX, OH, VT and RI, that she will have to split delegates with him, which would still put him in the lead…what they did in NYC was sick and foul, and I would not be surprised if they tried to shut out the black vote in Harlem…and now Hillary wants to sit at the State of the Black Union, and sit here and tell us that she is sorry about Bill’s recent remarks and so forth over the elections…look we have been taken for granted for years by the Clintons, and this happening in Harlem, right where Bill’s office is located is also sick, wrong and damned well suspect.
Hillary came down to Harlem back in 2006, talking to Black people at the Abbsissyian Baptist church on MLK day, talking like she was black, telling black folk that Bush has been running both houses of “government like a slave plantation”…. saying crap like “yall know what I mean”? “NO WE DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR WHITE BEHIND MEAN HILLARY”! (This church is backed by Rev. Dr, Calvin Butts, who also supported George Pataki, the Republican Governor years ago) How disingenuous and demeaning… this was also reported in several media outlets at the time as trickery and crookery of her and Bill Clinton fax paus/social rules they use to sway black people. Obama did not attend the Black State of the Union, because he is simply trying not to ride “I am a Blackman race card”, he has to stay neutral if he does not want to be seen in any other light than a neutral unifier of this country! To hell with the damned Clinton’s they are tired, and at the end of the day, Obama will get the nomination and stop believing the “Manchurian Candidate” hype…. Obama is beating McCain at the moment by 6 or more points, and even more than Hillary, also McCain is going to bomb because of his recent plethora of problems surrounding Lobbyist working from him that are scamsters, as well as the alleged affair…it’s not looking good regardless…Obama will win if this is all the G.O.P has.
The Clintons made their legacy already…. Hillary take Vice-President seat, because if they really cared about the fate of Black America and people, she would bow out gracefully and support him. Not because we want a Black President, but because clearly Obama has proven himself a true contender, in the fact that he has out matched, articulated one of the best campaigns seen in history, out-funded her and managed his money and his campaign clearly as a true articulated person who readily deserves to lead this nation. For some one who had the “First Black President, Bill Clinton” behind her, there is no way this campaign should had failed, especially strategically and economically and their true colors towards the Black voters has really shown itself, we are no longer hood-winked by the Clinton’s.

I have listed Barack Obama’s Senate experience v/s Hillary Clinton’s

He introduced:
233 regarding healthcare reform;
125 on poverty and public assistance;
112 crime fighting bills;
97 economic bills;
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills;
21 ethics reform bills;
15 gun control; and
6 veterans affairs and many others.

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and
co-sponsored another 427. These included:
Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006–became law,

Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional
Weapons Threat
Reduction Act–became law,
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act–passed the Senate,
The 2007 Government Ethics Bill–became law,
The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill
is In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890
bills and co-sponsored another 1,096. There you have it, the facts
straight from the Senate Record.

No more Clinton crappola!

[...] mentioned last week, Rasmussen Reports show Clinton leading in both states; however, Obama is gaining ground in Ohio and Clinton is leading in Texas by a [...]

AND here is some VERY IMPORTANT NEWS you may want to share with the people:

HILLARY CLINTON IS A BOLD FACE LIAR!!
WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO TITLED: “THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOUR TO SEE”.
THE VIDEO CONCERNS HILLARY CAMPAIGN FINANCING FRAUD, WITH A MAN NAMED PETER PAUL. THIS CASE IS CURRENTLY IN COURT IN CALIFORNIA. SOMEHOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HAS DECIDED NOT TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON!! Hillary Clinton is facing a Campaign Finance Fraud case in court in California. Apparently she had a man named Peter Paul do a fund raising event for her U.S. Senator election campaign, raising $1.2 million dollars for her. After it was revealed that Peter Paul had a criminal background, Hillary lied about knowing him, or receiving $1.2 millions in campaign financing from him. She also filed documents with the FEC, and did not report the $1.2 million dollars she had received from the campaign fundraiser, WHICH IS A FELONY.
VIDEO evidence, and PHONE CALL evidence, and LETTERS evidence (as seen in the youtube video) is going to be presented in court in California in his lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, and she will most likely be charged with a felony.

The mainstream press has for some reason been ignoring this story fact, but it is for us to search out the truth.
It is imparitive that people know this information before they vote, because Hillary, with yet another fraud case pending, where there is physical proof of her participatig in the fraud, on video tape, will NOT become president, and will be prosecuted!

Democrats need to know the facts so they don’t waste their votes on this dishonest woman who will not make it to the White House. This information is in the public domain, and the courts, and the Republicans will surely use it during the general election.

WE DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANOTHER PATHELOGICAL LIAR LIKE HILLARY, AND HER ACCOMPLICE, HER LYING HUSBAND, THE WORST LYING PRESIDENT TO DATE, BILL CLINTON, BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

THE YOUTUBE VIDEO IS A MUST SEE: IT’S CALLED –”THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE”,
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR VOTE ON THIS DISGRACEFUL WOMAN, VOTE FOR SOMEONE WITH INTEGRITY.
