Hillary Clinton is a piece of trash. Is she even aware that we are on the verge of WWIII? I guess stuff like that doesn't mean anything to her pompuss, prissy, lilly, spoiled self. This race is supposed to be about who can bring peace to the world, not destroy it in vain attempts at power. She is an idiot. Did she even go to college? I'm wondering whose penis she sucked to get to where she is, oh Bill's. If she had any intelligence she would know that it's Obama who is winning North Carolina, Indiana, Oregon and some other states. Hillary has no chance of winning more delegates. She also has no chance of making peace in the Middle East, not that a spoiled rich person like herself would care. Hillary only cares about HER, how much money SHE will have and how she looks to the people around HER! I can't believe she would even take the time to put out this garbage about Obama's preacher who does have a legitimate beef with America and it's KNOWN HISTORY OF RACISM AGAINST BLACKS, MEXICANS, HISPANICS, ASIAN'S, INDIANS, GAYS, ECT!. Is a black or mixed President that much of a problem to you people. I guess whoever Obama says, "what's up" to on the street he's also going to be responsible for what they say. You know what people like you Hillary supporters make me sick because the truth is that Barack IS A DECENT, HONORABLE and HONEST candidate and that just burns you up all inside becasue of the things you did to get to where you are. Let me tell you this, Obama might not rush into confrontations and that is because he is preparing his mind to make peace in the world and not go to war with it. Don't you even know that there are enemies of this country who secretly have suitcase nukes now. It's people like Hillary Clinton who will take us into nuclear destruction with that "obliterate" Iran thing because she obviously has no foresight, knowledge of intelligence or common sense and she still thinks politics is supposed to be about destroying the other candidate IN THE PRIMARIES! Or is it that Hillary is such a stupid rich snob and can't take it that she will have no connections to the Presidency once this is over. Hillary, you are a piece of trash that should not even have any more say in the media and the people are getting fed up. Don't think for a minute that the silent majority in this country will not eventually speak up about Hillary's not so secret tactics. We are watching, waiting and learning exactly who it is that is the real enemy of the people and she will know it but by then it will be too late because people like Hillary Clinton will finally be classified for what they really are and that's slime! Now you Hillary supporters go somewhere and think hard on that one and leave Barack alone because Karma is a B!T@CH and so is Hillary!

It's possible that the black leader of the future looks like James Rucker and Van Jones of the Web-based grass-roots organization Color of Change. Started in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Color of Change uses the Internet as a tool to mobilize support for issues affecting black Americans. (Last year it raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars for a Jena Six legal fund.) The approach is not dramatically different than the civil-rights-era model, just more tech-savvy and less grandiloquent. Rucker is far from the charismatic-preacher archetype. A Stanford University graduate with a background in the software industry, he served as director of grass-roots mobilization for MoveOn.org prior to starting his own similar organization to focus specifically on the concerns of black Americans. His cofounder, Jones, is president of Green for All, an organization dedicated to helping get people out of poverty with green-collar jobs.
Despite having formed only in 2005, Color of Change boasts a membership of 400,000, roughly the same number of members as in the almost century-old NAACP. The group has capitalized on the same enthusiasm Obama has harnessed, and has created a network of citizens whose interest in racial justice is active, not passive. "We're taking more ownership over our role in politics," says the group's executive director, Andre Banks. "It's not about following an iconic leader, it's about people finding their own reasons to act on the issues and values important to them." This could be the new model of black leadership, in which the message and the messenger aren't jockeying for attention.
An Obama presidency wouldn't be likely to immediately shove black leaders like Jackson and Sharpton out of the dialogue—nor should they be shoved out. But it would have a transformative effect on how black Americans see themselves. Polls have consistently shown blacks as pessimistic about the country's level of racial progress. Whites are more likely to think the country is ready for a black president than are blacks, and black support for Obama coalesced only after his victory in the Iowa caucuses. But there's still a willingness among African-Americans to suspend disbelief and try it his way, to see if black America's concerns can be addressed better by cooperators than by agitators. The resilience of Jackson and Sharpton has been fueled by black America's desire to hold onto King's memory. If Obama shows that his new model can work, blacks may finally be ready to let go of King's ghost.
