    Living in a City that has clear racial prolems (Cincinnati) in a neighboorhood that is 98% African American, I can tell you without a doubt that African Americans are just as upset about the crime as any white person, but they tend to not say anything in public because that is how they were raised. WE are ALL family and you dont diss your family.

    This however is part of the problem. If there is no social pressure for individuals to conform to simple community standards, you end up with a bad place to live.

    We dont import the litter in the streets from white people and if you go to a white neighborhood there is USUALLY little trash.

    If you try to bring that up, you will be that problem not the trash.

    Crime works the same way, if you talk about crime in these hoods, you is the problem no matter if you are Obama or Mccain.

    It is a sad fact, but there will most likely never be any racial harmony, because the dialog in impossible, at least here in Cincinc.

    I dont think Obama is the right person to beging that conversation too.

      Whait peope are not that different in that they protect thier own too.
      Why eles would Bill Ayers have never been charged with murder after fourty years, but people look at OJ and thinh he got what he deserved after getting off killing his wife.
      Bill Ayers is part of a family of people that protects him and makes excuses for him, while the people he kill lie mouldering in their graves.

      Now he is some joke that news people can use to show how Obam is being persicuted for his frindships not his agenda.

      That is true, but how can Bill Ayers be used as a joke by people like that? If he were black he would have never been free for all this time.

      Some people need to clean thier own house before knocking on onther peoples doors and calling them names.

        Lets be real clear on this.... Barack Obama doesnt know anyhing about growing up in ca city like Cincinnati, or Detroit or Atlanta. He live in Hawaii and asia.

        You cant do that and then say you are part of it. His silver spoon was just as silver if not more than some white boye of that time.

        He didnt see Detroit burn in 1967 he was in Indonesia in 1967.

        He didnt have to wonder if people were going to burn his house down in the night?

        He didnt get to see american troops walking american the streets with guns.

        He was a half a world away protected by his family for the truts that we all lived every day, and now you can say he was somehow a part of it, or can even understand what it was like?

        thats a plain lie.

          Just like these people on hear that post the EXACT same posts over and over again hour after hour.

          They dont care what I think or what you think, or what anybody thinks other than themselves.

          They would do or say anthing to get people to think like them.

          Dont do it. Dont let them take your power to think for your self.

    This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

    Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

    ...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

    Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

    After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

    Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

      Here is one example of dealing with ''white-collar crime''.

      What ''OBAMAYESWECAN'' ignores is the fact that the information he is sharing regarding ''Joe The Plumber''was garnered as the result of criminal activity. Is remains against the law in the state of Ohio to release to the public private official documents.Thus,the states Attorney General has launched three separate investigations into the crime which include the state Family and Jobs agency head and Obama supporter Helen Kelly-Jones who is being fingered as the source of the documents release.[thus far two individuals are under suspension pending a further investigation and possible arrest/trial into who authorized the illegal release of these documents].

    The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.

    Though crime is caused by people of all races, crime wasn't brought up because obviously there's a racial undertone since there is a higher percentage of African -Americans and Hispanics that are incarcerated. Also, the Gop is the party in office, so obviously they don't want to bring it up so as to make themselves appear weak on crime and stir up the socioeconomic factors which contribute to increased crime rates. They don't want to lose voter amongst thier base, Independent voters, and the crucial minority voters...But, hey if the Democrats were in offcie, you better believe they would have pulled out the Willie Horton playbook one more time! Unify our Red and Blue states on Nov 4th. Elect OBAMA-BIDEN in 2008!

    We have heard this ''New Day ''crap before. It came from Democrats,who promised this ''new day''in 2006 and then immediately reneged on this promise,as we can readily see with scandals and lobbyists and pay-to-play,and kickbacks galore. Obviously,with Chicago one of the worlds great murder capitals,Obama is loathe to address gang and organized crime violence,which has routinely surpassed that of Baghdad,Iraq,over the course of the last year.
