    For over 60 years America has been tangled up in the Middle East! This war in Iraq is an example of our problems! The Middle East has nothing America needs!

    Iraq or Iran are not threats to America!

    America has a Jewish Problem as the Israeli Lobbiest such as AIPAC and their Think Tank American Enterprise Institute, are directing American Forien Policy not in the best interest of America but in the best interest of Israel!

    America needs to take over her own forien policy and start running its own country!

    Start by Having Iraq war cirmes trials to those who got America into this Iraq war on Lies!

    America Stand Up or shut up!

    Why do some low income White-Americans allow themselves to be tagged as being "White working middle-class" when people are construing that to mean that they are White racists? If you are low income, middle-class and working people, do you not realize that there are millions of other non-White low income middle-class, working people who are no different than you? What in the world is the difference between White, working or blue-collar working people, than people on that same income level in other races in the USA?
    Do these people think that they are the only ones in the country who get up and go to work everyday to take care of their families? Wake up people!!!!!

    People of (all) colors need to realize that now is not the time to play-hate against each other. Pilgrim-Americans actually do not care for one of us any more than they do the other. What makes Jews, Latinos, Hispanics, Native Americans or African-Americans think that any one of us is, in any way, more special than the other one. Look at how the Clinton's treated African-Americans during this 2008 campaign after all the years of support they have gardnared from Blacks. Do you Latinos (anywhere) in the 50 states really, really think that McCain or Clinton cares about you any more than they do the Blacks? NO! They do not. The only reason Latinos have been allowed into the country in such large numbers is because the Pilgrims thought that it would be a quick and easy way to generate new (slave) labor, and pretend that low income people in the US were too lazy to work. The (truth) is that low income people cannot afford to work and maintain any manner of life on what Pilgrims and rich people and the USA allow for wages in this country. Now, that the fiasco has back-fired on the Pilgrims, they want to try to turn all the minorities against each other. Don't fall for it!!! You will be pushed aside soon enough. Blacks are not upset because immigrants are coming into the country, because they know that what you are paid is many times more than what you could earn in your home country. Once (President) Obama is in office, I am sure that he will find a way to help us all. This country will really be the country that you thought you were coming to.

    it is my feeling all this talk about who oboma is or is not loyal to just a big smoke screen to keep the campain from talking about what the real problems we as a country are faceing there has been no leader of our country that has not back-up Israel further no one wanting to be the leader of our country could get as far as oboma has if he did not support Israel all this talk being put forward is just a smoke screen.

    This article incorrectly describes Rep. Rob Andrews as an "Obama backer," implying that he endorsed Obama before Sen. Clinton's concession. In fact, Rep. Andrews backed Sen. Clinton in April 2007: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=1428 .

    Why are so many Pilgrim-Americans having problems supporting and voting for an African-American? Have not African-Americans been voting for Pilgrim Americans all of our lives?

  • Posted By: Concerned Canadian @ 06/07/2008 1:23:00 PM

    Barack Hussein Obama has a very huge problem with the Jewish community. Obama's closest friends openly support these radical Islamic groups in the Middle East both morally and financial. Money finds its way through these channels to fund Hamas and all these other crazy groups.

    Barack Obama knew very well this was happening. To what degree he was directly involved remains the question. He was and is close friends with this crowd for over 20 long years. Obama can't pretend he knew nothing. He's running for President...the people must know and will find the truth before they cast their votes in November.

      Hmmmmm, now Obama is a communist? What will be next? I am sure that will not be the end of your labeling. Next he will probably be a confederate or, god forbid, maybe even a red coat sympathizer. I am sure you will find many other labels to use to display your deep seated fears. Please do keep it up, it only helps us. Please continue to display your ignorance and fear. Maybe you can get it all out of you once and for all and finally heal.

    Did you see the news where this white guy went and got guns and bomb making materials and wanted to kill Obama because he didn't want a black man as the President. This guy lives in CT. Please explain to me why at this time that white americai is so afraid of a black man as President.

    • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 06/09/2008 3:35:17 PM

      Because if a black man is president it throws a wrench in their "white supremacy" world view.

      In "Mein Kampf" Hitler actually praised America. He thought Ameirca was a great example of how the white race could dominate the lesser races. Germany had Jewish chancellors at the time, whom he blamed for Germany's horrible depression and loss of standing in the world. Hitler thought America was powerful largely because it's presidents were all white. It's telling, that seventy years after he wrote these words, that it's still true.

  • Posted By: gaby43 @ 06/09/2008 1:33:19 PM

    Obama might have a problem with Jewish voters because of his family background (middle name Hussein), American Jewish are very sensitive towards certain issues that affects their way of thinking at the time of voting. But also one should must admit that OBAMA IS NOW ALONE, an African American alone, in front of most "Racial Attitudes which poses a Challenge to Obama". Let us be REALISTIC and not dream or believe in nice speeches, that the Democrats might think it will convince the American citizens.

    Alone OBAMA is half the way capable to win this battle against McCain, he might have good intentions, good speeches, good replies, but the American people have THEIR OWN QUESTIONS and doubts first on his origin, his middle name Hussein, where does he come from a Kenya family on his father side, about his family's background NOT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES on his mother's side, BUT IN KENYA, how long did he actually lived in the United States.

    I know that all this sounds unfair to him, but that is REALITY, that is how PEOPLE THINK at the time of voting, States like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Florida, some might think he is little too slick and smooth, too young, not much experienced, whether he was born Muslim and raised Muslim, some may be troubled by his ties, now broken, to a former pastor who cursed the United States and accused the government of possible conspiracies against blacks.

    ALL THESE QUESTIONS THOUGH UNFAIR TO SOME OF US, are a real way of thinking of American people, they have their values and respects over wearing "wear a flag pin", otherwise they feel and say "Obama's not one of us". In politics you cannot deny what is a reality in the AMERICAN SOCIETY, what is present in the minds of most citizens.

    I think IT IS A PRECIOUS TIME, WHICH is already passing and who knows time that will be lost by OBAMA, if he does not react soon and decides to announce and NOMINATE HILLARY CLINTON as the VICEPRESIDENT. Perhaps out of convenience to his present situation, where as an African American, he is NOW ALONE, to face all these problems, all these feelings, all these questions unresolved or with no transparent solution. People might listen to his speeches, but THEY DO NOT SEE AN ORDINARY AMERICAN CITIZEN.

    Not to have next to him Hillary Clinton, to back him up and continue to obtain the support of MANY AMERICANS VOTERS for the coming elections. I KNOW LIFE IS UNFAIR SOMETIMES, BUT OBAMA NOW HAS ON HIS SIDE TO ALSO ACCEPT, THAT THERE IS A NEED THAT HE HAS TO FACE, he needs a strong VP like Clinton, IF HE WANTS TO COME STRONG FOR THE ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. Recognition of it will make him stronger in the front of American voters, believe me.

    When I look back at Obama's campaign and see the most disturbing and hateful things that are from his background and personal interests...I mean you just gotta shake your head. In the good old days these disturbing events and controversies that surrounded Obama would have sunk any Presidential candidate in a blink of an eye. It would be " Exit..stage left " right away. Really can't fathom whats happened here or whats happening. Really eerie is all I could say. When you study Obama...he's like insecure or unsure of himself in these head to head debates. He didn't exude confidence. Hillary dominated in those debates. But when Obama gets on a stage by himself...its like he comes out of his cage and just bellows out words and prophetic statements like he's a saviour. His message is the same as Wright's in a way except he projects it differently and he uses different words but the message resonates the same as Wrights. The best I can put it is he's a performer. He captivates you like a musician or a singer does and makes what he says believable. Thats the trait of a good performer.

    • Posted By: denmill @ 06/09/2008 1:45:29 AM

      You are right! Barack Hussein Ossama did learn well from his mentor "Jeremiah wright". They are both great performers. He needs to leave the political arena to become the new successor of his former pastor "Jeremiah Wright". He looks more like a preacher and a motivational speaker than a president. especially the president of the United States of America.

      • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 06/09/2008 12:50:47 PM

        Nutty folks like this actually think that they can change minds by spouting the same nonsense over and over. It's as if their ability to copy and paste qualifies them as a political expert.

        Know that you are changing nobody's mind. People who think like you do don't need convinced and true conservatives probably distance themselves by your words. The rest of us will elect Barak Obama he next president of the United States.

      And I guess that no other politician is a performer in his or her right, is that what your argument is saying...or that there is a verntriliquist behind Obama and he is mouthing words that somebody else is saying for him. Your so hung up on Rev Wright, how about the preachers that McCain has associated over the years? This is getting to the point of past silliness....It doesn't matter what Hillary is done, it is over, get it?

      When the debates happen between McCain and Obama, then see how things pan out. Live today, not yesterday, not in the future. History my friend is being made daily because Obama is the democrat's choice. Regardless if he wins or loses, the barrier of color has been broken, and just as important, Hillary broke barriers for women.

      The topic of discussion is about Barak's jewish problem...he does not have a problem with the Jewish vote. People will vote the way they want to regardless...Discuss the debates after they start... :-)

    Pramono was question was: "So tell me again, why Jews, or anyone should support an Obama Presidency?" will try to come up with an honest answer to your question.
    1. Liberalism is a mental disorder (some Jews may be so liberal that they are willing to commit a political suicide and vote for Barack Hussein Ossama).
    2. Liberalism is a mental disorder (Anyone else that is willing to vote for Barak Hussein Ossama is so are so blinded by the feeling of entitlements that they are willing to destroy the entire country in order to squezze the pocket book of the American people (after all Barack Hussein Obama is willing to take from the rich people and give to the poor. However his definition of rich is any family making over $60,000. His definition of poor is Ilegal aliens, people on welfare, and people that happen to be Black).
    3. The key word is "ENTITLEMENT".
    2.


    • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 06/09/2008 12:36:12 PM

      Obama is the best candidate. Simple as that. He will win, because I think the country's desire for new energy and leadership is greater than their racism. The hardline racists are already partisan Republicans and wouldn't vote for a Democrat in any situation.

    Being anti-Israel is not the same thing as being a Jew hater. My girlfriend's Jewish and I REALLY don't like Israel. "The Middle East's only Democracy," my @$$. It has nothing to do with them being a Jewish state and everything to do with them being an oppressive, colonialist state whose existence is fundamentally hypocritical and whose behavior is even more so.

        They were supposed to go back to their homes and rebuild, all of Europe was devastated by WWII. Instead a bunch of British vermin said they can import all the European Jews into the Middle East and they could start their bullshit with the locals there. Where are all the Arabs supposed to go when these Euro-trash displaced them? Or do you not care cause they are Muslim and have no right to live? Typical arguement made by you racist bastards. Israel has no right to do what it does but gets away with it cause America gives them too much money every year.

    Jewish problem or no jewish problem - Barak Obama as President is suicide for America as we know it. We would face 2 years of the highest taxes, interest rate, inflaton and unemployment that we have seen since the Jimmy "I was the worst president ever" Carter.

    I think Obama is a skilled and slick speaker - when he has a teleprompter in front of him. I think he knows how to act upon sympathies and pulling the heartstrings and I think he is an empty suit.

    As bad as this sounds....I hope every red-neck hunting Billy-Bob and Bubba comes out and vote against this abomination of a candidate.

      The "real" worst president ever, Commander Codpiece, already has taken care of the inflation and unemployment part for you.

      wrong.

      I have never voted for a republican before, but I will this election. I will not vote for a candidate who admits he used cocaine for years. There are too many other good candidates who have not been using addictive drugs to support a candidate who has. Four years of McCain won't be so bad as long as the democrats control Congress.

      • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 06/09/2008 12:27:45 PM

        Obama hasn't admitted doing Cocaine. Perhaps you are thinking about GWB.
