save the child and kill the mother or is it
save the mother and kill the child
I guess I am confused as to which one is more important because
I actually believe that neither is more important than the other
Comment:
It is important to point out that Hillary's recent victories have all been in Appalachian states (West Virginia, rural Pennsylvania, southern Ohio and Kentucky), where education is low, and poverty is rampant as prejudice. In a nation founded on the principal "All men are created equal," are we going to let the ignorance and prejudice of one little subgroup rule our national discourse?
It is obvious that millions of white Americans, both educated and uneducated, have voted for Obama, and will continue to vote for him in November.
Clinton is taking a play from the GOP again. How many of you are old enough to remember when the South was solidly Democrat? The South started to go Republican in the late 50s when the Supreme Court ruled against segregation in 1956, and it became fully GOP when Kennedy pushed for civil rights. Republicans like Wallace and Thurmond took advantage of the hatred and prejudice and got victories for the GOP by promising to continue segregation if the white South voted Republican. And they very nearly succeeded, using filibuster after filibuster to block civil rights legislation.
And it was the Southern states that delivered the 1969 election for the GOP, placing Nixon into office, and putting the icing on the cake of this historic Republican power play.
Strom Thurmond, who was a Southern Democrat, switched parties in 1964, and has the dubious honor of holding the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history. He spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Bill.
Our country needs a replay of that like we need a hole in the head.
Shame on Hillary Clinton, exploiting people's ignorance for her own political gain.
At least with George Wallace, you knew he had been prejudiced from birth, and would always walk his talk. With Clinton, who has positioned herself as an advocate for equality, it is hideous to see her backpeddaling on her own (supposed) values. Or maybe her push for civil rights was all just politically expedient. Remember, she started life as a poster child for the Young Republicans, only to switch parties when Nixon was disgraced. She reinvents herself every time she thinks it will get her somewhere. While I can admire this trait in a movie actor, it is hard to respect it in a politician.
Comment: Comment: I though Obama didn't take PAC money or endorsements?
Obama never claimed that he didn't accept endorsements. Your arguments are as moot as they are pointless. Time for the Obama campaign to move on. SUPER ENDORSEMENT today, by the way.

Has anyone studied Shakespeare before ? If not, may I suggest you read the play " Julius Caesar ".
The knives are coming from within the Democratic Party from all over the place and Hillary Clinton is left bleeding to death on the steps.
What a sad , sad and tragic time in the Democratic Party. Good luck in November. .Unity ..what unity ?

Comment: Again you wonderful therapist of a man.
Here's your reply oh gifted one:
Comment: Your mother writes cookbooks and your father is just as dumb and irresponsible as your mother.
Yeah. That quote was in context huh idiot?
New blabber from a little wannabe elitist Po!
Look at it obsess over vocabulary!
Hey genius "Doctor", why would you splatter your mother vocation on a blog? Bragging for Gods sake.
If it were true, it would not be fair to her. She apparently didn't have much time for you during her goddess era.
Why would you go all HolyPoly and make up your house and money?
You got degree's in what? Stupid? BS in Bragging? MS'd in Look I'm better? And why didn't you go to Med school - son of the goddess? Masters degree, please. Online? Therapist? No. Therapist are almost as clever as chiropractor's right?
And you, as a renowned quack, would tell and assume me a dorm student? Is that from what? A-hole 101?
And what about the F-word in your bout anger runt? What was that about? Why didn't you address that? Doctor (almost, but too lazy) heal thyself.
And why, if you have any 'secure' feelings in you at all, do you assume someone from a freaking blog is 'insecure' - and that is all you rant about these days, other than your pathetic bully post slurping Alter.
You told a blogger he needed meds. Is that "secure" ?
You're nothing but another phony. Another one.
Big house on the water. Yeah.
Moms is a world famous something or another! blah, blah.
I practice preventive health while telling people who do NOT talk about themselves they're "projecting" on a blog - so I'm a professional. Really.
My brother is Nigel Crane and I'm Frazier.
I have a radio talk show.
What a liar.
Anyone in the position you claim would not be so eager to boast.
Especially while being demeaning to others - runt.
I bet your wife is named Tiffy, and she's plastic.
I bet you have your own plane and 40 cars in your garage.
Yeah, yeah Po.
You are a dumb-ass.
Even if it were true, then you would be the runt of the litter.
Oh, and stupid. I asked you if you plagiarized TOO, stupid, not for a definition, runt.

Not to mention that you would be better off sticking to politics. State your views of the Presidential race, and leave the personal comments aside. You make yourself look like a kid in a playground fight, and you are losing the respect of anyone reading this blog, which may reflect badly on your candidate.
Comment: Mr. Alter,
The media's clarion call that it's done with a statistical dead heat between the three prospective contenders for the White House, seems too early to toss FL and MI voters out to sea. CA, FL, MI, PA, OH, MA, NY are a must........and, although I LIKE Obama, he hasn't won the most critical blue states...That's one robust reason to continue this democratic process.
Despite MILLIONS of supporters, Hillary Rodham Clinton has been vehemently vilified because it remains socially acceptable to be sexist. Corporate men dominate the airwaves; these men have held the keys to success, and invariably, they oversee most election coverage (Philadelphia Inquirer).
"Media news people, frequently operating with complete integrity and goodwill, are able to [CONVINCE} themselves that they choose and interpret the news "objectively" and on the basis of professional news values....[Not in this scenario, however.] Voter attention is focused on style and personality ("Yes We Can") --anything but the issues that are of primary concern to the concentrated private power centers that largely finance campaigns and run the government" (Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
Women in the media, too, have been lulled into tolerating it because it is difficult to stand up to SEXISM at the risk of losing their paychecks. It's blatant that women in the media see the disparate treatment of HRC, but have convinced the masses that this pugilist is a pariah.
Without an NIE report read, Senator Obama touts his sound decision-making (as a State Senator) for opposing the War in Iraq. With hindsight, unbeknownst to him, there were no weapons of mass destruction. His argument that he made the right choice is a fallacy: he didn't make any such decision as a U.S. Senator with the emotions of September 11th still riding high and our response to maintain strong national security. Albeit, none of these assertions are earth-moving or original arguments; what is important here is to remind voters that he does not command a bastion of foreign policy knowledge nor does his redundant, "I voted against the war" a viable argument to support his candidacy.
Unfortunately, those who purport that the frontrunner will unite people have already demonstrated that the frontrunner will unite NO one except perhaps the myopic misanthropists, who, most likely, come January 2009, will be in a seething cauldron of woeful, broken promises teeming with scintillating rhetoric.

Comment: Man I hope no women are punished with Babies....Why didn't God talk to Obama before he came up with conception...Man is God in trouble!!
Comment: It's called pandering.
Comment: the reason it's a punishment if a women is too young to have a baby is because
1. Not really ready for responsibiy
2. most likely it cost the tax payers money ( welfare)
3. harder life if not educated ( or hard working)..
this was so out of context... when i have a teen girl in my office ( i tell her she can beat the statics).. the odds are that she will be poor. i give an uplifting speech ( weather they listen is up in the air)...
having a baby before one is truly ready is hardship...... that is a fact not fiction
Comment: If your a religious person....and I think it's safe to say your not. There is one arguement I always found compelling. If god gives you a baby, and god doesn't make mistakes....then how could a baby be a punishment. God knows it will be a hardship, but if god has a plan for all of us then how can it be a mistake. Now Obama claims to be a religious man, so I wonder how he reconciles the two....Unless he's a poser and is using religion and the church for Political reasons??? Nah...not Bummie.
Comment: that's safe :-) i consider myself spirtural....
god doesnt give you a baby ( unless we are talking about those who are bearin)? serious Religios folks say "God" blessed you with a cjild" . the reality of life is that if your not ready to have a child then you dont need one...... yes !! God knows the hardship & he/she knows also that youthfull behavior can cause one a harder life.... God is used in every attempt of life experiance to explain poverty, killing, & ect...ect...
a teen girl does not need to be a Mother ... Heck !! some adults dont need to be parents... why is it that Serious Religious folks seem to cherry pick the bible? "God also blesses the child that has his own" "God says follow the ways of the land" .. God says redemption is to seek into yourself... God says a whole alot of things Rock.... what one hears & reads & interprets is always the outcome... God says that thou shall not lie...........
Comment: I wonder why Obama lies so much?

that was really mature :-) you should me !! Obama lies less then H.C.

Comment: Alvy wrote: "What a loser you are lemmon."
Alvy,
Since you can't best anyone in a debate or an argument, invariably, you resort to name-calling. "Loser"???
When people use harsh hyperbolic language in a forum of ideas, it creates enmity, discord and completely obscures the point one is trying to make; in other words, rather than debating an issue, you tear the person apart thinking you've made a strong argument, but you haven't. That's one of various fallacies people fall prey to when they can't properly express their anger. Tell me about your mother.
Comment: So what you're doing is trying to tear me apart to try to win an argument? Right?
Tell me about your mother? What a pompous ass you are. I know you're mother is dumb and irresponsible - look at you.
You can not advise or direct or judge. That would require you had a brain instead of a dictionary stupid.
And doesn't your F-bomb attack qualify as "harsh" idiot?
Maybe your racial epithet qualifies as 'properly expressing anger' Po.
You're a cut and paste joke Po.
That mother thing you kinda paste to everyone too, dumbsh*t. Stop. 20 times is not original Po.

Comment: Jack3213 WROTE: "WHO [EVER] FAVORS INTELLIGENCE, CREDIBILITY, AND EXPERIANCE? --THOSE WHO FAVOR MCCAIN.... FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE THINGS WILL "CHANGE" --DAY ONE-- IF A DEMOCRAT WERE ELECTED SHOULD KNOW THAT WITH A DEMOCRAT DAY ONE MIGHT CHANGE SOMETHING AND THAT SOMETHING IS: HIGHER TAXES, GREATER SECURITY RISK, UNACCEPTABLE HEALTH INSURANCE, AND A WEAKER ECONOMY"
Dear Jack3213,
It's obvious that Change in the economy, health care coverage, homeland security and the tax code will not happen on day one. That's indisputable. What is also indisputable is that Senator McCain is intelligent and experienced; he is, and so are his democratic opponents, Senators Clinton and Obama, alike. The credibility of anyone running for office, however, including John McCain, is speculative, at best. If a democrat is elected (and Senator McCain is not allowed to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor), your drawn conclusion that a weaker economy will follow is rash and reflects your own insecurity. No economist, Milton Friedman, included, can augur or foretell this from an election. That nearly 50 million Americans have no health care coverage is already unacceptable. Voters are not privy to Homeland Security, so your prediction, on that matter is weak and of little or no practical value. Any drawn conclusions, humble or immodest, are burdened by misanthropic musings and made obscured by character assassination

Didn't work in North Carolina. Didn't work in Louisiana (deep, deep South) where Dem. Don Cazayoux just won the district that was Republican for decades. Americans are desensitized to the practice of "smear" politics.
But, it will be interesting to see just how dirty the GOP will get......

The Repubs need something more than the 527's in their camp and as it stands now it is all they have. But hey it worked for Nixson, Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush (Dumbya) 2. Good luck with that Rock01. He will never match Obamas skills all across the boards in every other catagory and it seems that the 527's in Obamas corner have funds over 2 to 1 than McCains and there is a whole lot more dirt to spred around on McCain that is certain to dwarf anything on Obama. But hey its all in how you present it. Preperation and organization is 90% of the work well done and Obama's preperation and organizing skills are ten fold to McCains as they were to Clintons.
I for one am in awe of great management
Campaign well funded not in hock = great management = Obama
Campaign in hock = bad management = Clinton
Campaign in hock = bad management = MCain
This year it is what the American voter is concerned about.
There are alot of actors related to this but it is about the Economy

There dying wish is for everything to stay the same (especially within rank and stature parameters), while simultaneously hoping to go back to the 'good old days' of Woolworth's and soda fountains.
So. You might be right. But it will be close.
I hope you're wrong, just so I can see if he ain't the status-quo.

When Hillary beats Obama in West Virginia, she will have captured Obama's remaining pawn, and nothing more. After next weeks Kentucky and Oregan primaries, the parties will have exchanged their remaining Bishops, and Hillary will have no choice but to resign. Hillary supporters may get excited about her victory in WV.. But even the 8 measley delegates (to Hillary's 20) that Obama picks up, will put him within a move or two from Checkmate. Watch for Check, then Mate in Oregon. Good game Hillary!
Obama/Boxer 08
Comment: Bravo to Obama, for reversing the tide of the superdelgates and overtaking Clinton, whose campaign style has shown us how little she deserves to be our leader. Hillary is playing politics, the worst kind of low-ball politics.
I am white, and female, and middle aged, and Republican, and I am voting for OBAMA.
Hillary insults both women and whites when she asserts that we are all both racist and stupid.
Get a life, Hillary, and stop pandering to the least common denominator. One of the reasons I am disaffected from the Republican party is because of the way they have tried to manipulate the gun-toting bible-thumping undereducated electorate.
A true leader will unite people around a higher cause, not divide them along lines of distrust and hatred.
Obama is a true leader, and a true Christian. Anyone who can't see this is falling victim to media manipulation. Hillary is imitating the tactics that dragged the once-proud GOP into the mud, and away from the hearts and minds of millions of thinking Republicans.
I still uphold Republican values. The good old-fashioned ones that founded our republic. And I am voting for Obama, who is truest to these values, despite his liberal ideas.

Comment: this Democratic Primary season is Over...........
it all depends on how H.C. handdles defeat will the party stay strong.... Hummmm !! 2012 will be far out of sight if she goes down in History for destroying the Democratic Party... even if she becomes Independant she will only become the New Nader ( & we all see how he is treated)... Ron Paul is the "Nader" on the repblican side since he is staying on the ballot this fall ( he will be taking votes away from Mccain)...
this is an exciting election year... good luck to everyones Candidates :-)
may the best Man Win :-) or women if she keeps her name on the Ballot.....
Comment: Hi glimps. Hillary will not put herself on the ballot without the backing of the party. She is not stupid. How dare people think she is. She is keeping true to her word. Every vote will count and the democratic party will be united. Since she will be the second place finisher, it will happen. That is something many (especially recent democratic voters) seem to forget. She is true to her word. She will back up the nominee even if that nominee is Obama. Obama knows this that is why he really do not want to make waves with Hillary. She never said she would not support the nominee. The Obama supporters have been calling her and everyone of her supporters idiots, warmongers, bigots, etc. Why? Because we don't believe in Obama and we are going over to McCain.
I think your numbers are off. But thats okay. Either way the future president will have bitten off more than they can chew
And yes my sentiment exactly, good luck to all everyone's candidates. This will be a very muddy one. With all the closet secrets. Only McCain's have been exposed, Obama's have yet to surface fully.
Comment: Jrmapu, i stopped reading your reply once i seen the comment " Hillary Stays True To Her Word" I guess the whole ducking sniper fire was true. LMAO
Comment: Jr.pu's a warmonger, idiot and bigot. See, you were right.
She's going over to McCain because Obama is...
...well you know. Hills said it best.
Jr's just another blogger that is a tad too culturally fanatical.
Anyone talking about "closets" as a reason a candidate should or will lose, hasn't been keeping up with Hills or Mc. So, if it's not closet material, what is it? Idiot.

Comment:
Obama is head over heels above the rest as a manager, uniter, organizer, constitutionally savvy, speaker, decision maker, visionary,message etc. Just about every aspect of the man says leader/president. May not be perfect but he is the best we got and we are extremely lucky to have someone like him in our day and age within arms reach of the Presidency. He will go a long way in restoring Americas good name in world affairs.

Comment: OBAMA VULCAN MIND MELD ONLY WORKS On Simple-Minded Superdelegates and Human Cubs ages 18-29(earth years). Kool-Aid is needed to convince thinking adults that Obama is more qualified than Hillary to be the next President. Sen. Obama was made from the same cookie-cutter, that was used to elect former SouthSide Chicagoan,Deval Patrick the governor of Massachusetts by campaign strategist, David Axelrod. A campaign of CHANGE and HOPE..(sound familiar) including the verbatim speeches of Patrick. Obama???s platform is the same-old, recycled and passed-on strategy of the Patrick campaign. The Massachusetts voters are now experiencing BUYERS REMORSE..
Fool Me Once Shame on You???.Fool Me Twice Shame on Me
Comment: But the times are different, and there will be a different outcome. Not that I agree that Obama's campaign is a cookie-cutter image of any previous one. But his campaign skill far outpaces any of his opponents', and the issues at hand lend themselves squarely to his message. He will win this election.
Comment: End Game for Hill is on the horizon and it is as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, yet Hill continued to insist she is the best candidate. Insisting yourself as the best won't make her one and won't make her the nominee. She is just trying to prove that she is the best Army private that we couldn't have because she wants to be the Commander-In-Chief on Day 1. I wonder when will her Day 1 start ? I guess it will start only after she will learn how to tell the truth of the sniper Fairy Tale. Dump her now as she is just dragging down the women with the biggest Fairy Tale in this campaign season.
Comment: So now does that mean Obama will let this go to the convention for the superdelegates to make the decision? The plot thickens. Superdelegates are not obligated to stay with their choice. The way they have been behaving tells me something is brewing.
Comment: Your question makes no sense. Of course, it will "go to the convention." That's where everything is official. Until then, in theory, all votes are up for grabs. There actually is no rule that would prevent a "pledged" delgate from voting for another candidate. (Bur any candidate who picked delegates who weren't 110% committed doesn't deserve the nomination.) The reason Superdelegates are making endorsements is to bring this process to a close. But there is nothing to keep them from changing their minds at the convention. Obama can't "let" them do anything; nor can he stop them from doing wha tthey want. But why would the party insiders want to do something that would tear the party apart? Why would the make endorsements now, if there is some plot to back out at the convention? You've been watching too many conspiracy movies.
Comment: ACTUALLY SOME DELEGATES GAVE THEIR WORD TO VOTE FOR THE CHOICE MADE AT
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
THEY WILL GO FOR THE WINNER ( OBAMA ).
DEMOCRATS CAN'T LET HILLARY SCREW THINGS UP.
THEY NEED THE BLACK VOTE. WHICH THE WICKED WITCH HAS ALIENATED.
Comment: Yes it does make sense if you paid attention to what has been going on. Obama did not want it to go to the convention. He wanted it settled. Problem is neither one of them have the needed votes to win straight up. It needed to go to the convention. Now he has the numbers he will want to go the convention. Where the superdelegates can officially give him the nomniation. Party rules however dictates they do not have to stay with their choices but I think they will. The party is already divided and so are the democratic supporters. Hillary will be the one to unite the party not Obama. Isn't it ironic it will take a woman to be the peacemaker. Times have not changed from the biblical ones.
Comment: You know, I'm very happy that the superdels are finally swinging in O's favor, but just between us all, I think this caucus/primary/delegate/superdelegate process is absolutely RIDICULOUS. I want a direct vote, a direct Democracy and a direct say in the November election, not some funky process designed to disenfranchise voters if they make the "wrong" choice - it seems ARCHAIC (a vestige of when half the country was illiterate, or more)... We are a modern capitalistic Democracy, and most of us can now read! Let us have a direct vote and forget all this goofy stuff.
Comment: It's kinda like College Football and a BCS.
Sometimes the winner isn't the best team.
Hence, George.
Comment: "Clever stockpilingh of overlooked caucuses": and which campaign was it that "overlooked" those caucuses? Could it be the one now crying crocodile tears about "disenfranchising" voters? The same campaign that conclusively demonstrated that it was unprepared for what it sought? Does THAT make for a great candidate? Or does winning -- through the rules?
Comment: IN ALL this mess of superdelegates and endorsements have we ever really heard that Obama is TRULY a great candidate? All we hear is that he is ahead in delegates so we must endorse him. (Do they ever notice it was due his clever stockpiling of the overlooked caucuses?) They may also claim that he is "inspirational and a uniter" . It is such a sham that Democrats are once again going superficial and setting themselves up for another loss of the Presidency!
Comment: Well, you heard it here. Obama is a truly great candidate. He has already changed the way we perceive politics, and he will bring more positive change before he is done.
Comment: So why did the Clintons overlook the caucuses? Didn't Bill remember running in the?. Didn't Hillary realize they were scheduled? They were in all the papers. I remember reading about them. This nomination was Hillary's to lose and she did just that. Instead of planning a smart campaign that would give her an early and undisputed lead, she coasted, as though she deserved this nomination through entitlement and all she had to do was don her pantsuit and tell the voters she would deign to accept the nomination. The other problem is that she handed Obama the issue that gave his campaign traction --- the war in Iraq. Her callous vote for the war (I will never, ever believe that she actually favored war with Iraq, or that she believed Cheney's "intelligence") was calculated to preserve her political position and defend against any charges that a woman would be "soft" on defense. She sacrificed American lives and American treasure for her own political agenda. That was a bitter pill for me to swallow -- and apparently others felt the same. Hillary lost because she ran a terrible campaign -- except for Pennsylvania where the Ivy League lawyer from Chicago's best suburbs suddenly became a beer-swilling, shot-downing Scranton mill girl. It might not have been honest, and it certainly was superficial, but it worked!
Comment: She lost Guam by 7 votes...
Comment: Yup !! just 7 & Obama lost Indiana by 2 points...
Comment: NEWS ALERT !

DEMOCRATIC STATE HOUSE TO HAVING ONLY 3 MEMBERS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 35 MEMBERS.
HEY ! BILL ! YOU HAVE AN ELK HORN IN YOUR MOUTH.
Comment: Tired,
You're intriguing. Tell me about your mother.
Comment: NEWS ALERT !

ANY DONATIONS ARE USED TO PAY OFF HER DEBTS.
HILLARY PAYS HERSELF BACK-------------- THUS, NO LOSS FOR HILLARY !
SLICK ! HUH !
HILLARY USES ; BUT, NEVER LOSES !
CLINTON TRICKS KEEP A ROLLING.
Comment: LOL !!!!
H.C. is having a hard time being Obama's understudy... she knows that the Democratic party never hires a Loser ..
Comment: LATEST SUPER DELEGAT COUNT WAS AS FOLLOWS :
CLINTON --------- 271.5
OBAMA -------------271
OBAMA PICKED UP 9 TODAY AND HILLARY MAY HAVE PICKED UP 1.
THEY CAN'T CONFIRM HILLARY CLINTONS.
Comment: OMG, the McCain camp has picked up some donations - you can smell the smear campaign already - go OBAMA - you have more class than Hilary and McCain (and can we talk about Cindi? What planet is she from??) put together! This will be fun and easy.
Comment: Wow, a tenuous link to a gay church scandal and a murder??? Sounds like Hillary again. The last gasps of slander and lies - sensationalism - sounds like the Republicans too. I swear Hillary is on McCain's team.
Holy Roller has been screaming about this, calling Obama a Muslim - not sure what derangement this is, but it sounds like gays who are jealous of Obama's success trying to pull him down, because their Queen Hillary is losing - and aiming her hopes for McCain winning in the Fall so she can run again in 2012.
Pathetic. Really crappy - who wants politics like this? Hillary probably has a few Gay Scandals of her own at Wellesley to hide in her closet too.
Comment: This nonsense has absolutely nothing to do with the gay community. Larry Sinclair is a loon. Have you read his blog, this person is certifiable. It is nonthing, Hollyroller is just an ignorant racist, yes I said racist you only have to read his posts to come to that conclusion.
Ignore this idiot, but by all means read Sinclairs blog and decide for yourself. But one more point if there was any merit to something this scandalous wouldn't we have heard or read about this from one of the major or local news media?
Comment: They will be bailing out soooooooooon.
A Middle East policy adviser for Barack Obama has left the campaign after acknowledging having held talks with Hamas, FOX News confirms.
The Times newspaper in London first reported Friday that the campaign was severing ties with the adviser, Robert Malley.
Malley said he had been in contact with the Palestinian group, but only through his work for a ???conflict resolution think tank,??? and not on behalf of the Obama campaign, the newspaper reported.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton told FOX News Malley was ???an ancillary adviser who never met with Obama, literally one of hundreds of informal advisers who from time to time offered advice on Middle East policy.???
Another Obama spokesman told The Times Malley ???has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.???
Hamas, which is labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department, is a touchy issue for the Obama campaign.
Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef said in a recent interview, ???We like Mr. Obama, we hope that he will win the election,??? and presumptive Republican nominee John McCain has poked fun at Obama for the apparent endorsement.
McCain has said he would be Hamas??? ???worst nightmare???; he told ???The Daily Show???s??? Jon Stewart Wednesday that he could ???guarantee??? Hamas would not endorse him for president.
Obama accused McCain of ???losing his bearings??? and engaging in a smear campaign for the remarks.

Comment: Phew...we're almost done with this nonsense. Pack it up, Hillary!
Comment: Go purchase the New Globe Magazine:
???Choir Director at White House hopeful???s controversial Chicago church shot to death???
???Special Report - Obama caught up in Gay Murder Scandal!???
???Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has become tangled in a gay-murder probe rocking his controversial Chicago church as insiders ask: How much does he really know abut the choir director???s savage slaying? But a top Chicago private detective tells GLOBE he believes the shooting death of 47-year old Donald Young may be connected to Obama, who belongs to the church once headed by scandal-scarred preacher the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
???Donald Young was silenced because of something he knew about Obama,??? says the private investigator, who has connections to the police department???s homicide unit.
Now Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who has been dogging Obama with claims he engaged in gay sex and drugs with the presidential candidate in 1999, says he has given cops shocking new evidence linking the Democratic White House hopeful to the baffling murder. Sinclair insists he had contact with Young shortly before the choir director was brutally killed. He says that each time, Young instigated the phone calls, which were made ???not long??? before the murder.???
Larry, your remarks about Young???s inquisitiveness is mentioned. Your April 1, 2008 affidavit is also mentioned and the fact the CPD has contacted you.
???One Internet posting says. ???This long-standing choir director???s murder was discovered early Sunday morning??? but didn???t become public knowledge until Tuesday. ???What sort of cover-up exists between Chicago PD and the Obama camp to bury this story to advance Obama???? the posts asks.
And a longtime political observer tells GLOBE the Young murder probe could spell trouble for Obama???s White House bid. ???This story could become political dynamite for Obama???s foes,??? the source says, ???Coming on the heels of the controversy over the anti-american statements of his pastor, this issue could gain steam and become a real problem for Barack.???

???Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is being linked to a gay man???s murder by a Chicago private detective.??? this remark is next to a large picture of Obama.

Comment: Watch Hillary on Slate's Deathwatch. Her chances of nomination are now 2% . The superdelegates are finally coming forward in a steady drip. Before Hillary knows it she will be drowning.
Comment: Newsweek's non-stop fanfare of Obama is a punch line and a complete edifice of transparency -- it's paean to the powerful renders little, if any, semblance of journalistic integrity. As Noam Chomsky wrote, "Voter attention is focused on style, personality, charisma ??? anything but the issues that are of primary concern to the concentrated private power centers that largely finance campaigns and run the government. Media news people are able to convince themselves that they choose and interpret the news "objectively" and on the basis of professional news values" (Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
Comment: Just what has Obama done that makes you think he is qualified to change anything? I live in Illinois and Obama has done nothing as senator!! So why do you think he would do anything to change things if he became president! The superdelagates should consider this!!!
Comment: Well, he has won votes.
Fairly and squarely.
To beat the Clinton machine is itself a very remarkable feat!
What d´you think?
Comment: Well. How about become the first legitimate presidential nominee that isn't a white male? I'd say that's a pretty historic change.
I know, I know. . .you're bitter and unwilling to see anything other than "Hillary good. Obama bad.", but you would have to engage in some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to come to the conclusion that he's hasn't changed the world to some degree by winning the Democratic primary.
Go ahead. Tell me how he has no chance to win the presidency. Tell me why you are positive that Americans won't vote for him. Throw his middle name at me. Tell me he has no experience. Yeah. Yeah Yeah. I've heard it all before. In fact, I heard it all about a year ago . . . .right before he won another "unwinnable" race against an "unbeatable" opponent.
Comment: That was the absolute truth.
I love hearing the reasons why he won't. It all comes down to the same thing.
Culture. Fear. Comfort zone.
Comment: And what on earth has Hillary done but pander and chang the rules everyday..if we had republican rules,I'd be the winner...ifMI and FL were counted, I would win...etc. if, if, if... Experience? What experience? If you went to see your internist of 20 years and she wasn't there but her husband showed up and said.. "she's not here but I've been married to her for 30 years so i can look after you."..would you let him touch you? Tusla... we're not going there. She has absolutely no integrity! We are sickened with each passing day!
Comment: ahwwwww..... we have a sore loser on the Blog....
what a shameless act..
Comment: You're brighter than this; give him/her a cogent response.
Comment: Just what has Obama done that makes you think he is qualified to change anything? ahwwwww you have no answer for that do you!!!!!
