rather than try to prove he is “black enough”, obama has worked assiduously to convince the general electorate that he isn’t “too black”. hence is preposterous assertion on the campaign trail that we’ve come “90% of the way” to social equality.

mccain’s military legacy should safely inoculate him from any issues connected to his birth in what was at that time a territory under amerikkan control.

ok let’s be real…obama doesn’t have to prove at least to us anyway that he is ‘black enough’. that was a label put on him by the old guard. he’s married to a proud black woman and lives on the south side. this man had to work much harder than clinton to get not only the white vote, but the black vote as well and the hispanic vote. therefore, it’s much harder for him to run as a candidate without conjuring up old stereotypes and risk bing put into a box as the ‘black candidate’.

Ameica needs to smell the coffee. Yeah the media quote and unquote hates Hillary and loves Obama.. Why? Well there are some hush hush things about Obama that’s being oppressed… Hillary’s camp knows it, but to keep from sounding like a gossiper, the party keeps her quiet. But, trust me, if Obama gets the nomination–McCain’s camp will make it public… And,many of Obama’s supporters will be angry… Is this a conspiracy to get the republicans back in office? Wake up…

Get real ADH, If there were something hush hush about obama then the clinton camp would definitely use it against him. Youre trying to make her above gossiping. Please!

Ms. Gentry seems to have missed a major point: the issue isn’t whether Obama denounces Farrakhan’s controversial positions because he’s the “black candidate” but whether he denounces Farrakhan’s ideology because of Farrakhan’s public support of his candidacy.

If Farrakhan had come out in support of McCain, it would be McCain who was being asked if he denounced the positions held by Farrakhan.

I am so tired of everyone saying the republicans have some kind of conspiracy to get Obama in office so they can take the white house. Lets stop worrying about the republicans and just vote.

LILBABY26,

you bring up an interesting point. by prove to “us” i’m assuming your are speaking of his supporters, you included, and specifically black people? if not, i misinterpreted. if so, then…

…it was not the “establishment” or “old guard” that brought this issue up. it was largely the media, BUT, it was also prominent black leaders like sharpton and cornell west who openly criticized and questioned b.o.’s cred. for some reason, these leaders have done a 180.

Folks, these smear tactics were set up by Maggie Williams when she re-entered. Part of her M.O. As for the GOP, par goes the course. Part of the Free Republic and Rove playbook. IF you research most of the stories about Obama are 2 to 3 years old. It was all accounted for in the Obama camp. We have gone up by 5 points now in Texas, thats rom 12 points behind 9 days ago. Still lots of work to do in both OHio and Texas before Tuesday.

America will see through these devisive tactics. And remember, Hillary and McCain’s relationship with with foreign lobbyists has not been exposed as of yet either. Stay tuned. Yet for right now, these tactics no matter how noisy they are now, will get worse. And you have truly ask yourself regardless of your loyalties…why? But trust me the Obama campaign is more than prepared. FYI Senator Rockerfeller, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has just switched to endorse Obama. Well there is someone who runs our nation’s Intelligence program who believes in Obama. THose in OHio and Texas, Remember Vote!! I am Joe Domingaux and I approve this message. Obama 08

Tanya……I hate to hurt your feelings, but ADH is absolutely right. What you don’t understand is both of these candidates still have a loyalty to the party. It happens all the times in Primary debates where one candidate acquires information on the other that they can’t despose because it will ruin the front runners chances for the nomination. I believe the Hillary’s campaign does have some dirt on him, and I also think that Republicans are going to stop at nothing “WHEN” they release it.

Obama still need more supper delegate.

Marcus,

Get real please. There is no conspiracy and the real problem is that you don’t have enough dirt on him that you have to act like there is some bombshell sitting out there. Spinning his words here and there and trying to use his book against him, and the muslim thing..was the best you/they have and it’s that entire reason that polls have shown that Obama is better against McCain, and no I’m not sitting here saying that polls are some sort of word of God, but what I am saying is the intellect or mindset rather as to why people poll this way in this case is because there is enough dirt on Hillary to fill a landfill and while she sits there claiming that it’s all out there, one I beg to differ and two just because it’s out there doesn’t mean it’s untouchable and will not be druged up again and the one pile that’s bigger than them all with McCain will be Iraq but if they want to get dirtier with her they don’t have to do much digging.

Well regardless od the controversy. WE are are happy to announce working in the Obama 08 campaign the latest progress on Change. Latest polls this morning shows now Obama 45% to 45% in Ohio, 48% to 42% Texas. That is after being down as many as 12 points in the polls 10 days ago. There is hard work to do, yet we must rally on. THATS WORK TO RALLY!!! Go to barackobama.com to see how You can make a Difference in thia pivotal time in history. Although, there has been many things said about Senator Obama, we must remain diligent and focussed. Afterall, it is not only an assault on Mr. Obama, yet American’s intellect as a whole who dare to want something different…A Change. Yes, despite the naysayers and haters, it will Continue. This is A MOVEMENT . As KRS-One once said “Dont Lose It”.

Fyi, on a lighter note. The video “We Are The Ones” made by will.i.am and other Obama supporters has been receiving a great deal of attention, especially in the African American and Latino community. The supporter-made video features several African American and Latino artists and entertainers. Obama 08

On a not so lighter note, I think you women/lady voters might want to check this out. It is an NBC deep background investigation revelaing Hillary’s unwillingness to return $170,000 in campaign funding from a corporation that is steeped in sexual harrassment chargest, and the CEO himself is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal background.

i agree with bill clinton here as well. but i’d like to add/revise.

you should vote for the person who makes you think AND hope, not just hope. b.o. uses many many many emotional appeals, but very few logical appeals. emotions are what motivates people to act in the short term (e.g. voting in an election).

HILLARY uses more logical appeals than b.o. which contain more substance. and i don’t think that you can compare dubya’s scare tactics about another 9/11 in 2004 against kerry, with HILLARY’S “children” ad which uses logic to ask “who do you want making important decisions in the white house?” yes, there are emotional appeals there as well (obviously, the child sleeping).

but at the end of the day, you’d better vote for the person who makes you think FIRST.

When will Hill finally answer the question about how she will MAKE people pay for healthcare…she refuses to say the g-word….c’mon hill say it…GARNISHMENT
