    Barrack can win! If Hillary's supporters can forgive and forget Barrack collective giving Her and them the finger and if Bitter Whites that cling to Guns, Religion, Love of American and believe in our Constitution against Invasion and the rule of Law can be convinced by Barrack that the largest invasion in world history, of any country, at any time, by any means and that is taking their jobs and lowering their standard of living while killing, robbing and raping American citizens by the 10,s of thousands every year and is slowly but surely changing American into an Spanish speaking third world cesspool of Crime, Corruption, Poverty and Misery, modeled on Mexico, is a good thing for them and American.

    He may even start losing losing black votes since they are the ones paying the greatest price for his pandering for Hispanic votes to fuel his political ambitions and lust for power!

    Blacks are starting to realize that Barracks open Borders and Amnesty for the Invading horde will completely disfranchise and destroy the political gains, civil rights & progress made by Black Americans and empower the Racist Hispanics.

    He needs to explain why he and most Democrats Believe that Article IV Section IV of our Constitution against Invasion, enforcement of our Immigration Laws and their Oath of office are all null and void!

    He needs to future explain why he thinks Babies born alive should be denied medical care and left to suffer until they die! Why he considers the way to correct unwanted babies by engaging in sexual promiscuity is just to kill the baby as he stated he would do if his daughter got pregnant out of wedlock !
    He will need to convince them that attending the church of hate, supporting and listening to Hate American, Hate Whites and hate everything but Blacks and Muslims for 20 years while hanging out with criminals, terrorist and racist is no big deal and no harm intended!

      Uh, Black Saint you should be ashamed of yourself. There was a time not so long ago that the African people of America were in the same boat as the hispanics.
      Here is question for you, How did America get its start? Here is a clue whites, blacks, hispanics, jewish people etc. were not the first people on this piece of land we call America, can you intelligently without racial undertones answer the question I have put before you?
      I do believe I have heard some politicians say "The hispanics are taking the jobs that even the blacks will not do" So now tell me how they have hurt the American work force.
      NAFTA is what is hurting the American work opportunities.
      For example many computer companies out source their work to the middle east, Try calling customer service for your computer.
      Some of the clothing manufacturers out source there work to Taiwan, Mexicoand the Phillipines etc.
      So please stop confusing Obama's problems with race, after all Obama is half white.

    1. The Bill Ayers Story is retarded, the Man is a University Professor, is not this Terror to the Nation as you would assess him to be...

    If Ayers was this National Security or TERRORIST THREAT to AMERICA...

    Ayers would be... A.) In Federal Prison For Life or B.) Dead as a Door Knob...

    The CIA, The FBI and the President would make Bill Ayers REAL HISTORY !!

    So Stop the Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh & Anne Coulter A!! Wiping and Bull-Spitting..OK


    2.This Story is not about Mike Wooten, who has Admitted to his WRONGDOINGS, He's STILL an Alaskan Policeman. Wooten was only Suspended 5 Days. He's still a Policeman. Everybody knows that policemen by an large are Steroided Out, Mental Cases, with a Badge an Most have Citations of Varying Degrees, based on how long they've served and what Department. If He Really Threatened Palin's Father, Why is Wooten STILL an Alaskan Police Officer, if he is such a Violent and Dangerous man ..Hmmm

    It seems that his 4 Former Wives and Sarah Palin are still Alive, how big of a Threat is he ?
    Note: Its the Alaskan Security Administrator, whom Palin Fired and Palin's Administrations Constant Harassment and Bullying, via Palin's ABUSE OF POWER, THAT HAS HER P-SSY IN A RINGER...

    NOT WOOTEN..I REPEAT NOT WOOTEN....

    WOOTEN IS THE DISTRACTION...IT'S SARAH PALIN THAT IS THE FOCUS, BASED ON "ABUSE OF POWER"

    GETTING ILLEGAL ACCESS TO WOOTEN'S RECORDS.WHICH IS AGAINST ALASKAN STATE LAW, MAYBE EVEN FEDERAL LAW ?

    WOOTEN IS SCOTT FREE...PALIN SHOULD'VE LEFT IT ALONE, LIKE NOT LEAVING THAT LIBRARIAN ALONE, WHO SUED AND WON AND HAS HER LIBRARIAN JOB BACK.

    SARAH PALIN: IS A GOOD OLE GIRL POLITICIAN, WHO JUST LIKE ANY "GOOD OLE GIRL" IS DOING WHAT THE "GOOD OLE BOYS DO" NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL AND SHOULD BE SCRUTINIZED LIKE THE "GOOD OLE BOYS"

    "A PIT BULL WITH LIPSTICK."...

    HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PIT BULL B!TCH DOG...AVOID A GOOD FIGHT..HMMMMM

    HE!! NO...

    THIS B!TCH IS A FRAUD, NOW THE PRO-REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING "SEXISM"

    WHEN PALIN SAID THAT "HILLARY WAS WHINING"

    THE B!TCH HAS BEEN ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR 1 1/2 WEEKS AND ALREADY WHINING LIKE A B!CTH POODLE OPPOSED TO A "PIT BULL"

    "A PIT BULL WITH LIPSTICK" HAD THE DEMOCRATS BRANDED HER WITH SUCH A LABEL, SHE WOULD AND THE PRO-REPUBLICAN MEDIA, WOULD'VE CALLED IT A SEXIST TERM !!!

    I find it interesting that no matter what Obama does, he can't seem to win with some of you. First he stayed in his church too long, then he turned his back on the rev. So now he's disloyal by distancing himself from people who are under investigation for lying when if he said nothing it would be "look at the people around him". Why is that John McCain can give the vp pick to someone under ethics investigation and then when it's mentioned it is sexist. Please tell me why the double standard?

  • Posted By: Spooky @ 09/06/2008 3:40:45 PM

    I think the "Friends Like These" article misses the picture. Obama is the candidate for change. He will not be able to change a darn thing in Washington so he needs to stop with all the rhetoric.
    And the American people who are naive enough to swallow Obama's change message need to remember the presicency is not a unilateral dictatorship. If elected Obama would need to be able to work with congress.... and we all know how bipartisian politics works right?
    The fact that Obama so quickly dropped Rev. Wright and now the mayor. leads me to think that Obama will cower and back peddle as quickly as possible whenever he is faced with adversity.
    I am not sure that I want a leader like that for our country.
    Granted Bush has not done a bang up job either. But at least he is loyal to those around him. It does not make being crooked right. I am just saying that at least GW did not abandon his friends.

    PLEASE....SOMEONE TELL ME ! If you are a Barack Obama supporter, and LOVE "America"; How can you trust a man that associates with for 20 yrs, another man that says loudly, and clearly his HATRED for America? I could never associate , let alone want to be around a person that HATES America, for more than the time it takes me to learn this. I could NEVER be around a MINISTER, who spouts hatred of any kind. How can you ignore this fact? Barack stayed for 20 years till he wanted to be president. Then and only than did Barack Obama leave this minister. How does that seem okay , to anyone??????????????????

    • Posted By: halokita @ 09/05/2008 4:37:06 PM

      Easy mom, beacuse the Jeremiah Wright that preaches now, has a different heart then he did in the 80s & 90s. It appeared that as his congregation reached thousands, he viewpoints changed. More than a angry man, Rev. Wright loves the spotlight. The more the cameras are on, the more he will perform. That is the case of may preachers. Unfortunately, he didn;t stop to think about the consequences of his actions. This is where a man like Obama has to look at his onetime mentor and painfully let him go. Obama's question to himself I am sure, was how can a man who taught me about the love of God and mankind and who married my soul mate and I turn into a bitter person. You are looking at this wrong. Letting Rev. Wright go was probably a painful process because one of the people who taught him about being a good respectful man, become a hypocrite. Chances are if you walked in his church today, you would hear a different sermon. It should not be that way, I prefer to be honest with you. What he did was wrong and Obama let him go. If you are a Christian, forgive Wright for his sin and move on, as Obama did, as many have.

      • Posted By: Spooky @ 09/06/2008 3:34:10 PM

        Very nice christian like retort.
        I agree with most of what you typed, but...... Did the rev. change overnight or did he change gradually over the 20 years senator Obama attended church? How is it that Obama was blind to the changes?

      • Posted By: teri222 @ 09/05/2008 5:38:15 PM

        AMEN. Well put, I am so tired of hearing about Rev. Wright.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 3:15:03 PM

      If you would have listened to the whole sermon of Rev. Wright, instead of only hearing the three words "GOD DAMN AMERICA" would have realized that Wright was not preaching hatred of the country, but hatred of the government for what he percieved as its racist policies. You should really research it and not only hear the three words that the righ wing wants you to hear. Wright is a loon that is for sure, but to say he was preaching hatred of our country is wrong. People also seem to forget that Jerry Fallwell basically said the same thing when he said that 9/11 was God's way of punishing America for the "alternate lifestyles" in this country and he is praised as a great Evangalist minister.

      • Posted By: cobalt6 @ 09/05/2008 3:51:13 PM

        I have listened to the entire sermon and listening to the entire sermon does not make it sound any better! Rev. Wright teaches hatred in his sermon's Thats a fact and no matter what you say you can;t change that! Jerry Fallwell is not Obama's mentor, and pastor!

        • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 5:47:35 PM

          Yes, hatred of the policies of the government that he perceived as racist.

        Obama has associated and still does with ALOT of ppl involved in anti-american "cults"...This is just the tip of an iceburg filled with these types of ppl in his inner circles...Ppl are so obsessed w/ hating Bush or repubs that they are willing to follow anyone who spouts "change from the same"...McCain is an example of someone who gets along w/ both parties, and having his own mind and not riding with the popular media census. ..Why doesnt the media flash pics of him shaking hands/man hugging with Clinton during his Presidency?...Obamites dont see anything past "no more Bush"..They dont question him in regards to anything negative in his past or present, unless it involves Bush..His followers are hypnotised and brain trained on his fibs...Bring troops home from Iraq?...Come on ppl, theyd be sent to Afghanistan, Georgia, or worst Iran...Just keep believing in the fairy tale though...Just like Obama is going to make our jobs come back that Clinton sent over seas..Yeah right..Obama is going to make all our taxes go away just like all Dems do!...Nope think again...Hes going to "Change" Washington with his ideals...Hardly think so...If Washington couldnt be changed in the last hundred years his inexperience certainly isnt going to change a thing..Nice dream though..Time to wake up! Obama is bad news (except for the media).

      At one point of time, there will always be someone, somewhere in United States, that well state that they hate their country.

      But understand this hatred is not for the country itself, it is the way people, "polictians", use their position to get what they want, whether it is for the good of the country, or for the good of themselves which is the opposite of the good of the country.

      History is lined with this type of person. We need to be looking at the whole, not just one small point that has been played infront of us so many times that only that point in time is engrained in our memories.

      Please start looking at the whole, not just a sliver of the pie of life.

  • Posted By: Bosqcatl @ 09/05/2008 2:37:15 PM

    I just made up my mind in the last hour for who I'm voting for POTUS. As a middle class man from A small town, who just lost his job as a welder, I'm sick of being told how to feel. I can barely fill up my God Damn gas tank! And I have to buy the bare minimum at the grocery market which barely gets us through the week. I don't want government in my business but I cannot afford health insurance for my entire family of four, so i go without it for me.

    This is rediculous! I was mad at Obama for the bitter comment (even tho he just told the truth), and said i would not for him. Truthfully, i really did not want some African American telling me what to do. Yah I said it!

    But after that horrible RNC where they said nothing for 4 days, I feel like they treated me like I'm a stupid idiot! They talked to me like i was in high school. Now I just heard McCain/Palin speak in Wisconsin. THEY SAID NOTHING! Just more jokes and then McCain said I will "Stand For You" and that was it...and walked off the stage!!!!!!! Then I just heard Obama at the same time in Scranton, NJ. He talked about jobs and clean coal technology and Lowering Taxes FOR ME...For ME...For ME who makes under $250,000...That's ME! Then he said he'd give tax breakes for corporations who employ people here in the USA!!!! And penalize companies who ship jobs overseas!!! YES!!!!

    It was the first time i really gave Obama chance. The hate had me all screwed up. But the guy is really smart. He analyzes out loud a little too much which gets him in trouble, but he's a real deep thinker. I don't want another dumb president. I get him now. McCaine just strike me as a little dumb and impulsive. I love his strength but he's reckless and play stoo many kid games.


    But I just made up my mind. I don't want to hear anymore scare tactics and stupid highschool jokes...Obamabots and all that dumb crap! They made me hate Obama for nothing, now Obama made me respect him. Man to Man...I now respect this guy. My man Bill O'Rielly respects him now too for being tough!

    After watching both stump speeches. It is clear!

    I'm voting Obama/Biden to lower my taxes, support pro american corporations, penalize these BASTARDS who ship our jobs away, get and keep healthcare so i can be around to help my family when i get back on my feet! And i Will get back on my feet!

    Do what the hell you want, but i'm tired of the dumb, stupid crap!


    Now for Obama/Biden

      Have you ever even CONSIDERED you may be an idiot?

      Jeff Foxworthy had those great lines about why you might be a redneck but it applies to all the idiots out there too.

      If in our INFORMATIONAL economy you are still seeking a manufacturing job, you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      If in the beginning of a recession which could be SERVERE you believe the ANSWER is raising taxes, you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      If you think Obama or ANY politician can CREAT jobs (businesses do that and they will do LESS of it with Obama's huge taxes) you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      If you think Obama will create alternative energy sources, you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      If you think Obama's TAX increases ONLY ON THE RICH won't affect you, you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT! (After all if you buy products and services from businesses and they have to pay higher taxes they will RAISE the prices so YOU ultimately pay those taxes).

      If you think Obama is smart, you MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      If you think Obama will give you CHANGE you would be RIGHT, but you also MIGHT BE AN IDIOT!

      Because nobody in their RIGHT MIND would want the kind of changes Obama is recommending!
      High taxes, BIG government, jobs flowing overseas because of all the higher taxes and healt incurance costs skyrocketing under his plans, interest rates and INFLATION skyrocketing WORSE than Carter!

      So basically if you think Obama is the ANSWER to all your life's issues, you ARE AN IDIOT!

      • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 3:25:05 PM

        Have you ever considered that you are an idiot? You are an idiot because our economy is failing and you want to continue the same policies that have brought about the mess. So, who is more idiotic, the person who wants to see a change in our policies or the person who wants to continue the policies that have caused this mess?

        • Posted By: careerdaytrader @ 09/06/2008 3:29:19 PM

          Well as one of the few people on here who ACTUALLY HAS CREATED JOBS and as a small business owner with a company that makes over $1.3 million a year I'd say I'm probably NOT an idiot.

          As someone with a college degree and having taken Economics 101, which I HIGHLY recommend Democrats REQUIRE Barak to take also, it is just plain STUPID to raise taxes at the beginning of a new recession. He's not going to create jobs he's going to destroy them. Manufacturing jobs will be lost no matter who is President as there are cheaper unskilled laborers in other countries so it makes NO SENSE for Americans to do a job at $80,000 per year that people in other countries will do for $2,000 per year!
          These people losing manufacturing jobs need to retrain themselves in the high tech economy.

          In early 1900s we had a high FARM employment, now its just 5% or less. They said the same thing back then, oh no I'm losing my farm job!

          Change HAPPENS automatically you moron Democrats! If the Democrats actually improved public schools vs RUN THEM INTO THE GROUND then maybe you all would be smart enough to realize that Barak's PROMISES MAKE NO SENSE !

          He can't create 5 million new jobs, he's a lawyer and community organizer (basically a communist union PUSHER!). Unions don't create jobs they just bankrupt companies like GM, Ford and Chrysler and other companies. Barak and people like him have cost well over 10s of millions of jobs due to their communist activity!

          So you must agree we need to elect John McCain so he can shake things up a bit. Get ready for change Kool aide kids. John McCain says "Change is comin" Hope you Dems are ready.

      ha ha! Good one. Only a douchebag leftist could impresonate a so-called swing voter so cartoonishly with key talking points.

      Thank god most voters when it comes down to it will vote for McCain/Palin(a union family) because they clearly are loyal to the United States first and love coal. While Obama and his radical green loving friend want to eliminate coal for wind and solar.
      With Mccain/Palin all sources of Americn energy is on the table including drilling and nuclear power. You can solar panel the entire United States and it wouldn't meet our energy needs. Nuclear and oil and coal will have to be our main sources of power to become energy independent.

      • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 5:53:40 PM

        You are the douchebag. Obama wants to develop clean coal technology, not eliminate it. You need to read more than GOP talking points.

    • Posted By: mawalk @ 09/05/2008 3:01:52 PM

      Hey I read your entire entry and I was felt many different ways as an Aftrican American. But race I aside... I am totally with you. When the race stated I looked at John McCain because I thought he would be the most experienced and know what to do. Eventually, I never heard anything about my life and how he would be beneficial for me. I moved over to Barak Obama not shortly after.

      But by the republican standards I should take ownership for my life i.e. financial stability, family wholeness, and the things that make me a contributing member in society. So both my husband and I educated ourselves with degrees and we were doing okay.

      Then my husband's job was shipped overseas because he company was bought by a larger company who found better profit by moving across the water. We are a young couple so were just getting started you know. But it has been a year here in Michigan and neither of us have been able to find work. The market is so saturated. I became a stay at home after our son.

      We found ourselves with no money very quickly or insurance our two cars on the repo list and unable to properly provide health care to our now 2 yr old son. We both felt like absolute failures.

      So to cut to the chase I need a president who undestands that I am not a slack off but when you take my means to provide away from me and say make it happen anyway. I feel a total lack of trust in my government. I don't want to hear about McCain's dreamy "I will fight for you" and then I see nothing in his issues that even realizes that I have a need.... WHAT IS THAT!

      I don't want another president who feels it's okay to send 10B or whatever unheard of amt to Iraq on a daily basis when I need a job and so many other.

      I watched the RNC and I saw old heads...excuse me if I offended anyone. But many of the people present at that convention looked so detached from today that I couldn't even watch everything. It 's time for a new breathe of governmental savvy! I am 27yrs old and I have never really been big on politics and not a consistent voter, but if I will not be able to make with another Republican administration.

      You the irony of it all is the republicans are suppose to support family... but my family is being cut at the ankles before we even get started in the game!

      BARAK OBAMA to me really encompasses what we need. I researched his positions and listened to both sides objectively. I refused to allow myself to vote because of race. Because while it is monumental to have a african american candidate I need a president who can handle what the world is laying at our feet and what our economy is to doing to our family. So even if he doesn't have all the experience the John McCain insists that he have MY FAMILY WILL ABSOLUTELY PERISH UNDER JOHN MCCAIN. That frightens me. I want to experience the American Dream and I am willing to fight for! But don't give my resources to other countries and say that I can still make it!

    I'm not voting for Obama but the notion that he is accountable for Kilpatrick's sleeping around and then lying about it is rediculous. He probably didn't know about it and he certainly didn't support Kilpatrick's mistakes. *Unlike the Rev. Wrigth who he supported for 20 years and whose beliefs he certainly knew and supported.

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 09/05/2008 3:14:06 PM

      I would say it's more of a reflection on Obama's judgement more then it is to say Obama knew about it. He's accountable for his endorsement of Kwame not for the crime Kwame committed.

      • Posted By: Spooky @ 09/06/2008 3:28:36 PM

        I absolutely agree.
        Yes maybe Obama was only trying to be supportive of his friend because as a man of mixed racial heritage he understood the challenges that his friend would face.
        To me that is like saying I am going to vote for Obama because he is black and I am black and I want to be a part of this historical vote. Crazy reason to place my hopes for our country on the shoulders of a man who has very little political experience.

      • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 3:17:42 PM

          Failed yes, because of a Democrat controlled congress that enjoys their 9% approval rating. By the way, you do understand BUSH has a higher approval rating then 9% right?

          So Obama agrees with the Dems 100% of the time and they have a 9% approval rating and have passed the FEWEST bills in HISTORY....... And it's BUSHES FAULT!!!! LMAO........Pass the Kool aid

          Exactly. And let's not forget that McCain has Rove one of the biggest crooks in recent history working on his campaign and we won't even mention Cheney who truly should be arrested.

        • Posted By: Keepinguponfacts123 @ 09/05/2008 4:37:46 PM

          And I do believe that there were many Republicans that were shaking hands with McCain right before they went to the big house (Abramhoff) Did McCain shake hands with Delay and what about that one from FLorida, what was his name? And then there was the Keating5. I'm sure there are more. Let me research that some more. Can anyone else add some more names to the McCain side?

  • Posted By: michaelp0429 @ 09/05/2008 3:07:39 PM

    Note that Obama waits to call on Kilpatric to drop out until AFTER he's already decided to do so, the night before his court appearance to plea guilty (which had to have already been scheduled). There's real courage to stand up for the right thing. That might bite him with both groups of voters because once again he's all about him looking good and not about actually standing up for anything.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 3:20:42 PM

      You forget that Obama said that Kwame would not be welcome at the Democratic convention.

      • Posted By: Spooky @ 09/06/2008 3:20:45 PM

        Why did Obama dis-invite the mayor to the DNC? And when did he decide to do so? Why if this would not have any effect on his candadicy did he turn his back on his "friend" with friends like this who need enemies?
        Senator Obama may be changing thins alright, he is changing my mind about who to vote for because he is not a stand up guy, he seems to pull back whenever things get dicey.
        Governor Palin has more guts than Obama. It is sad because I had hoped Obama was not going to be "just another politician".

        • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 5:43:03 PM

          And he would have been a distraction. As you recall, then Kwamie was presumed innocent, because that is how our legal system works. Kwamie did not plead guilty until this week.

  • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 09/05/2008 3:08:30 PM

    Lets see here.

    Obama says Kwame will do great things for Detroit.
    Detroit gave Kwame a 2% approval rating.

    Obama says Palin is inexperienced even if she has more experience then him.
    Alaskans gave Palin a 80% approval rating.

    Eithier Obama's "picker" is broken or his "judgement" is seriously flawed.

    Now hows your judgement 2% Obama endorsement or 80% McCain endoresement?

    Perhaps I missed something. What I got out of the article was that Mr. Kilpatrick went down kicking and screaming while still supporting Senator Obama. While it is true that the Governor of Michigan wanted the Mayor to step down before further damage was done to the city, the situation has nothing to do with racism. I understood the purpose of the article to mean that Detroit is without a leader who could have roused the city to a record turnout during this election. I didn't get a feel for racism at all. It has to do with how the Mayor could have helped Senator Obama. Isn't the sub-title of the article 'How the Detroit Mayor's Fall Hurts Obama'? What am I not getting?

    A thought for all loyal American registered voters. Isn't associating with the enemy " in my mind that is anyone who hates Ameica.' ... aiding and abetting them , a call for Treason? We better uphold our laws and values or it is good bye America. Those that do not agree....are also aiding and abetting the enemy. How can anyone back someone with this in their background , recently!!! If you do not understand this....then you should not be eligable to vaote! Think People!!!! Especially those who vote for him just becasue they think Obama is cute !!! That is NOT A smart reason to vote for anyone !!!!

      I do not think Obama was born in America, that may explain his lack of loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
      He may have been born in Kenya. He is considered American by the sheer fact that his mother is a caucasian American.
      Think this why did Obama's dad desert him and his mother?
      Why was her raised by his grandparents after experiencing the teachins of the Koran and other Muslim beliefs?
      How did his grandparents reverse the damage that his father had done during his formitive years?

      You claim that Obama has committed Treason, when John McCain gave military information to the North Vietnamese while he was a POW? I cannot believe that.

      Treason....is that the same thing that Bush/Cheney/Rove did?

    No way Detroit Mayor will hurt Obama, why because he is black, what about all the white crooks in Washington and Bush is still there. So pleeeeasse!!

    All I have to say is "Birds of a feather flock together!" Obama's friends are telling a story about his judgments. (i.e., poor judgment in removing the american flag from his jet, i.e.poor judgment in mocking the Bible all over the internet) Not even to mention his abortion views. This candidate does not represent a true American to me. Signed: Democrat in NM (Not voting for Obama)

      Who gives a s*** if you don't vote for President Obama? I sure in hell don't!

  • Posted By: Spooky @ 09/06/2008 2:42:34 PM

    Is senator Obama's mother not caucasion? Why is he being referred to as a black man?
    Why can Obama not be referred to as a man or an American?

    Obama knew him. So what? People know McCain, Trent Lott, and Newt Gingrich who also had adulterous affairs and have been known to tell lies. Does that mean that anyone who knows these people is a bad person. Blaming Sen. Obama for something like this, by association, is stupid. And hateful, especially for those who call themselves Christians.

    All I can say is......."Politics makes strange bedfellows."

    All politicians hug, embrace, and pose for pictures with someone that turns out bad. The only thing is that Kilpatrick is black and he's a Democrat. Those are the only similarities to OBAMA. Besides, Obama survived the entire REZSKO trial and still came out of top. Nothing can touch Obama, he's already been ordained by the DNC...even a questionable birthright in the US doesn't matter.
