    White voters can only look at their leader in the Whitehouse to stare corruption in the face, faces that look similar to theirs. Kilpatrick did not send 4 thousand men and women to their deaths, nor did he wound over 40 thousand service men and women. George Bush and his criminal VP Dick Cheney committed those offensive acts. I find it interesting that he author of this story is concerned about White people's opinions when it is a Black person that has committed an infraction, but ignores the voices of Black people when Whites infected with racism, privilege and white supremacy are treated as "normal." America deserves Bush, Dick Cheney, Jack Abraham and Charlie Black (currently a McCain lobbyist advisor) who will be recognized as the most destructive people in American History.

    Friends. This will be my last post for some time. Before I go, let me share with you my sense of who Obama is. He is AN ANACHRONISM. It will be the Republicans job to help America see this. Once we remove the mantle of change from him, we will see this clearly. Good bye.

    "Comment: Douchebag liberals may care about the opinions of Paris and Caracas, and so does Barack Hussien Obama. But John McCain's first interest are the United States. Country first!

    Unlike Obama who father was a muslim Kenyan who when they finally met again at age 10. Obama Sr. smacked Obama Jr for watching a Christmas cartoon, saying that it was against the teaching of Allah! Barack Jr said it was just the Grinch. Barack Sr said to turn the TV off and read the Koran.
    Also Barack is loyal to Indonesia where he lived from age 5-10 and went to their public schools, were all students had to take Koran studies for 2 hours a day. No wonder Hussien Jr, doesn't like to pledge loyality to the flag and the US! "

    God help us with ignorant people like you voting! Yeah, we are a global society so you better care what other countries think - we do not live on this planet by ourselves.

      The President of the United States first interest should be the the US, not Moscow, Paris or Tehran. Of course we live in a global economy, but the United States shouldn't be the one to always do the heavy lifting. When Moscow, Bejing and Delhi do nothing for the environment for example.
      Of course John McCain is a moderate and a maverick who will do more.

      The Barack statements are true. He did meet his real muslim father at age ten and he did make him turn off the TV when watching a Christmas special. That's from the Washington Post article on his childhood and from his book.

        And he thinks Iran, Cuba and Venezuela are "tiny Countries" who don't pose a serious threat to us. Oh, I'm sorry.... a week later he changed his mind and said Iran "IS" a grave threat. Joke.

        • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 5:57:30 PM

          Cuba and Venezuela are tiny and are not serious threat to the U.S. Obama said Iran was "tiny" compared to the Soviet Union and we handled that threat. He did NOT say that Iran posed no serious threat to the U.S.

    Barack Obama, and Kwame Kirkpatrick could not be more different. Kwame KirkPatricks is responsible for his behavior , not Obama. And just for the record, I'm an African American male, and all the African American's I have spoken to, are as disgusted with Kirkpatrick as everyone else.

      Yeah. Sure. I am sure they are disgusted. Just like they were disgusted with Marion Berry. Kirpatrick will be elected again, in a LANDSLIDE. If I did not hate RedWing fans, I would feel sorry for them.

    Wow, this is amazing and an outrage that one would think that the Detroit mayor's fall hurts Obama. Mr. McCain has been in Washington for 100 years and all the wrong things that has gone on and all the people that have been put in jail or on trial in congress, no one is asking will that hurt McCain. I am offended my such statement. Why when it's a black person we are one, but when its a white person your not. Once again wow.

      Better yet, ask why Oprah has never endorsed ANY other candidate for president then Obama? Anyone have a clue why Oprah has never even endorsed a Democrat before Obama? BTW if Oprah smells a book it is an instant best seller. How do you think her endorsement of Obama worked in Obama's favor in the primaries? Sounds like the extra BUMP Obama is looking for. Look how it worked the first time.

      Oprah will not have Palin on her show, Oprah supports Obama! Oprah talks about supporting women but she only does when it's someone she likes! Oprah proved that when she did not support Hillary Clinton and now Palin! A few min ago on MSNBC Oprah made a statement that she will not have any of the presidential candidates on her show until after the election! But she already had Obama on her show, totally one sided!

  • Posted By: Tonylnbv @ 09/05/2008 1:50:03 PM

    Let's bring up judgement again because I know so many of you out there actually believes Obama has the correct judgement (based on his opposition to something he never had to publicly vote for).

    1. His wedding is officiated by, and his children baptized by the America hating, racial divide stirring Jeremiah Wright.

    2. Serving as a paid director on the Board of the Woods Fund alongside domestic terrorist William Ayers.

    3. As a director of the Woods Fund from 1999 - 2002, Obama helped grant funding in the amount of $40,000 to an Arab group that believes the establishment of an Israeli state to be catostrophic (which accounted for about 1/5 of the group's total budget for that year).

    4. As payment in kind for the funding, Rashid Khalidi, a supporter of Palestinian terrorist groups held a fundraiser for Obama.

    5. Obama said the surge was not a success before confessing that it has "succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated." (if his judgement was that good, he would have known that from the beginning).

    6. Obama saying that Kwame Kilpatrick is a "'great mayor' who will do 'astounding things things for many years to come'" and his "I'm grateful to call him a friend" line is analgoug to, "You're doing a heck of a job Brownie."

    hmm......judgement. I think not. I'll go with McCain/Palin on this one.

    • Posted By: ssbn777 @ 09/05/2008 1:52:21 PM

      He was "against" seating Florida and Michigan delagates, before he was "for" seating them. Add that to the list.

      • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 6:13:17 PM

        He was never against seating the deligates from Florida and Michagin. He stated that he would support the DNCs decision, no matter what it was.

  • Posted By: No to Government taking care of everything @ 09/05/2008 5:21:35 PM

    I can only hope Democrats will wake up one day and see that Obama is way for left of a Democrat. I know we all want things to change in Washington, even Republicans. But moving into a socialist state is not the answer. Isn't it a saying that Democracy falls with the people cheering in the streets, giving up all their freedoms. HERE IT IS. WAKE UP and vote for anyone besides Obama. You have to agree that McCain and Palin are not as conservative as some past presidents. They have not made an entire life and career out of being a politician. They are in it for the right reasons. Obama is not middleclass either. He is a career politician. Have you all noticed that Dems are lawyers and Reps are business people or doctors?

    • Posted By: ranman1 @ 09/05/2008 6:13:08 PM

      Obama never said he was middle class. By John McCain'd definition he's middle class (anyone making under 5 million dollars). after 8 yrs. of facism, I could stand a littile socialism. If Obama is far left, Then sarah Palin is surely far right. have you even read any of her views? John McCain has spent 26 yrs. in the senate, that's close enough to a lifetime for me. barack Obama spent 8 yrs. in the Illionois Senate, and 3 in the US senate, and HE"S a career politician? Do you even listen to yourself when you spout this nonsense? No I haven't noticed that. Have you noticed that not many lawyers end up in jail, but lot's of business people do? Not many lawyers are sued for malpractice, but lot's of doctors are. So your point would be what?

  • Posted By: Mom for AMERICA @ 09/05/2008 2:06:12 PM

    Another thought. For me...his associations matter , because he stayed with his minister who hates America, for 20 years ! Then Obama starts running for the presidency, and suddenly dumps his minister of 20 years who spouts HATRED...repeatedly ...and then says.... I didn't agree with everything my minister had to say. So in other words.....it took Obama 20 years to figure out his minister hated America? That ...alone...makes me wonder about his loyalty to my country!

    • Posted By: JamesD12345 @ 09/05/2008 2:21:41 PM

      So true. I wonder if Barack Hates America (dot com).

      He doesn't pledge his allegiance to the flag. Obama's mama was a radical leftist when as a teen and at age 17 in her first semester in UH got pregnant by a 25 year old African. They got married after he got his green card he abandoned them. She married another muslim and moved to Indonesia when he was age 5-10 where he studied Islam and took the religion of his step-father. Eye witnesses thought it was cute to see young Hussien follow his step-father to Mosque for evening prayer.

      He wasn't batized as a Christian until he was told to by the Daley political machine captains. As a compromise to his disgust he joined the most hateful white and America bashing church he could find. He'd be treated to Wright's 'god damn America' speeches every week. And from their he found another America hater in his wife who never has been proud of America(Even when he was elected US Senator his ungrateful wife didn't like the US!).

      Thank god we have an alternative to vote for, and very moderate too, John S. McCain. He not only likes the United States, he loooooooooves it!

      • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 6:08:46 PM

        Obama does say the plegde of Allegiance video proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIyBwkuqF4E, has his hand on heart and everything. Obama's father was already in the U.S. on a student visa and never got an immigration visa. There are no eyewitness testimony saying that they SAW Obama going to prayer every evening with his step-father. The "eyewitness" stated that he had "heard" that Obama went every evening to Prayer with hie step-father. Obama did not only stucy Islam in school, he also went to a Catholic School and studied Catholocism. Obama WAS NOT involved in politics when he was baptized. Stop spreading your ***

    Here is an update on ANOTHER BarackStar buddy....wonder if Hussein looks cute in an orange jumpsuit.

    UH OH....looks like HolyRoller was right again.....wonder what the BarackStar is thinking right now??

    Is Rezko working with the feds?
    SOURCES: | He's been back at courthouse numerous times

    August 28, 2008 Chicago Sun Times

    "As his sentencing nears, pressure is mounting on Tony Rezko to cooperate with federal investigations into some of the highest-profile politicians in the state -- including Gov. Blagojevich.

    Two more trials -- one in Chicago next spring, one in Las Vegas -- hover over the Wilmette businessman and onetime prolific political fund-raiser for the governor and BARACK OBAMA.

    Tony Rezko was inside the federal courthouse as recently as Aug. 14, sources for the Sun Times say.

    Now, sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that Rezko has been seen at the federal courthouse as many as a dozen times since his June conviction. He's been held since then at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago.

    Rezko hasn't had to be back in court since a jury convicted him of corruption charges involving state deals. And his scheduled Sept. 3 sentencing was recently pushed back to Oct. 28".....ONE WEEK BEFORE ELECTION....hmmm...just a coincidence???

    WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM FOT TONY = FEDERAL CHARGES FOR HUSSEIN

    I told ya'll this months ago.....Hussein Obama IS A CROOK AND A FRAUD.

    NOBAMA!!!

    • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 9:52:18 AM

      • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 09/05/2008 10:07:03 AM

        Davieboy...the above article is directly from Sun Times...TRY paragraph 2. As for the BarackStar...IF you followed the trial closely(I did) Rezko sent a letter to the Judge...complaining about Fitzgerald(Prosecutor) trying to force him, to implicate Obama and the Gov.

        Since his conviction...it appears he is ready to deal. If that is the case...Obama is toast. Fitzgerald wants Hussein...he knows him and MicHELLe are both involved in the hospital scam......a small side note....the Judge who reset for week before election, is a former Ken Starr associate.

        Davie...you come across as very bright. Open your eyes. It is very apparent. Hussein is a crook and a fraud.

        NOBAMA!!!

        • Posted By: raddave @ 09/05/2008 11:06:22 AM

          Ok, I am wrong. I did say that he was a fund raiser for Obama, but other than that, it did not implicate Obama in any way as being invovled with Rezko's illegal activities. The Article also states that Rezko may have been at the courthouse to meet with his attorney. Until Obama is convicted of a crime, it is NOT apparent that Obama is a crook and a fraud. You play guilt by association and inuendo. If you want to play that, then McCain is a guilty as Obama. JIm Hensley is the father of Cindy McCain. He was convicted in 1948 for falsifying liquor records to conceal illegal distribution of Wiskey. In 1952, he and his brother bought into the Ruidoso Downs Racetrack in New Mexico. The concealed the fact that they had an equal partner, Clarance "Teak" Baldwin, who was banned from owning a race track because of illegal bookmaking activities and associations to organized crime. McCain worked for Hensley as a public relations director and Hensley used his political connections to launch McCain's career. Then there is Charles Keating. He and McCain were close friends, often vacationing together. Keating donated over $112,000 to McCain and McCain and his family made nine trips at Keating's expense. Jim Hensley and Cindy McCain invested over $359,000 to a Keating shopping center. In 1987 McCain and four other Senators met with regulators regarding the investigation of Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, asking them to back off. McCain was criticized by the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising "Poor Judgement." So, if Hussein is a crook and a fraud, then so is Sidney.

      Holly Roller, how many years of schooling do you have? Ever seen the halls of an Ivy League school (not including your years wiping out the basins)? That's why it amazes me why America must pander to the uneducated, unintelligent neophytes, such as yourself, that are only exposed to narrow world views, and have no hope to better this country for future generations.

      Roll on back to your Evangelical hell that condones adulterers (McCain), abstinence-avoiders (Palin "jr"), racists (welll, hmmm, sounds like you) and elitists (hear Huckabee's speech? wow, then if not the gov't, then who helps the child, that is the ward of the state for life, to obtain heath care, an education or a start to become "rich"?). Unemployment stats today affect those in your neighborhood too and it's the Republican Party that has hand delivered this purgatory that Americans are currently faced with..

    Wow...after reading this article..I decided to see what Keith Naughton looked like (although why bother..it was painfully obvious by his stereotypical racial pronouncement of just WHY one black man's fall from grace is another black man's cross to bare...).
    I suggest Mr. Naughton, you stick to reporting on all the shiny new cars being released as you were hired to do instead of dwelling in all racial profiling..it really is just too easy!

    Why is it that african americans can not support one of their own without white america saying we are supporting the candidate because he or she is black. Is it any different when you have supported candidates of your race for years? Why is it not perceived that Obama is an intelligent man. Of course it is said that he does not have the experience, but what president has experience? No one has the experience until he or she has taken on the role of president.The presidential role is much different from a govenor or a senator. The duties you perform as a govenor / senator can not compare to the presidency. If Bush is an example of what experience is then I sure would vote for the candidate that is deemed too inexperienced .

        That article is talking about SOME black conservatives, it does not reflect the opinion of an entire race.

          Same reason some white people owned slaves and benefitted from slavery. Why is it an entire race is held accountable for it?

            Obama has not said that whites should be held accountable for slavery.

        Written by a Democrat? Gee, I wonder....

      Um, because African Americans ARE supporting him, mostly just because he's black. Some 95% of African Americans, at last tally. No other ethnic group has such a high number supporting one or the other candidate. EVER.

      Math doesn't lie. Corrupt Chicago politicians do, but math doesn't....

        100% White America has support White Presidental Candidates for the last 230 yrs. Think about it!

        Most blacks are supporting Obama because he is a Democrat, not because he is black. John Kerry and Bill Clinton both got 90% of the black vote in their presidential bids.

        They're voting for him for the hand-outs....................
