    Hilary's candidacy is a second Clinton's economic expansion considering her husband's past successful and tested programs. I,m from Chicago and Senator Obama has no economic accomplishment in this windy city. The Daley's and the Jackson's effort are well regarded change is nothing if you only do it by opening your mouth you set an example to be a leader. Mr. Obama lack the experience.

    I don't for one minute believe that when Obama talks about Black, Hispanics, Whites, and other ehnic groups that there is any revelance to racism. AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND, he is just reminding us that we are all in this together. Secondly Bill Clinton alluded to dejuristic racial remarks by stating that Obama can't win. He has made that statement on several occassions. Some
    americans including white americans view that as a racist statement. The media exploits the race card as
    so do many others. We truly need to get behind these issues and work together to save our country. For the past seven months since the Reverend Wright story broke, that is all we seem to stress or hear. Need I remind you that when the Reverend Hagee made comments about catholics,John Mc Cain was questioned about his association with the reverend, he responded he has no control of what his pastor talks about. In addition he went on to mention that he really was not going to continue entertaining the subject. as far as I can recollect I have not heard much said about Mr. Hagee and Mc Cain since the Republican candidate's remarks. Maybe I'm missing something. as a working american citizen I strongly believe that the comments by both Mr. Wright and Mr. Hagee should not out weigh the real issues facing this country. We need to open our eyes and urge these candidates to get busy finding solutions to things like global warming, the economy, homelessness, jobs and last but not least the education system and our children of all persuasions. I have not heard any candidate say during this entire campaign ,"that it's not about beating this candidate or that one, it's about making government realize that we have some serious problems that need addressing and fixing".Let' keep it real.

    There is only one candidate, who has been playing the race card from the start, and it wasn't Hillary, there is not one racist bone in her body, she has never addressed the American people by separating them by race she just calls them people but Obama has from day one opened that door in his speeches by mentioning Black, Latin, Chinese, etc. it seems like this is an issue for him. In my opinion the media has been running this race from the start, (because they are all republicans) and not the candidates with unfair tactics to brainwash the American people by beating Hillary down at every turn even when she has explained her plans for the White House they make it a point to ignore these facts in hopes that we don???t notice. I have yet to hear explicit detailed plans from Obama I only hear how inspirational he will be. The media picks and chooses how they want us to see how this race is heading only to sway the vote and outcome. The manipulation is so apparent but how many really see what is really going on? Clinton has proved that she is the stronger and knowledgeable candidate to run up against McCain by stating her plans for the American people who is her first and foremost concern, by cleaning up the mess in the White House. Obama speaks about inspiration, hope, and change but I have yet to really hear his plans and strategy or even facts about any issues in a detailed manner. Lately, he even has his wife speak for him, and that is not my idea of a strong Presidential Candidate.

    The media has been downplaying everything negative that has come forth in regards to Obama???s relationship with (Rev. Wright) let???s face it anyone who has been as close to this man for twenty years has got to be a believer and follower of this man???s beliefs and is clearly a racist. Obama even went as far as stating that his Grandmother acted like a ???typical white person??? with this remark I find that to be racist because if a white person had said this same phrase a person acted like a ???typical black person??? they would have been attacked, slaughtered and called a racist! Double standards are my view on the matter. It has been clearly noted that Obama wrote a book about his black father even though he abandoned him at six years old, and completely has no regard for his white mother and grandparents who raised him and gave him the life he lives today because they are white, how sick that? The American people aren???t as dumb as the Republicans and media would like to think, because they do see through all the smoke and B.S. what is really going on. That is why this is such a TIGHT race and so many are voting for Hillary, this is not a slam dunk for Obama as they would like you to believe, due to the fact they are basing his so called win on how many delegates and super delegates to create the illusion that he has the vote. That is also why they are not including Florida and Michigan to count basically they are cheating like the last time when Bush was running. The State should be penalized for that error not the Florida and Michigan people who deserve to be heard. Hillary has given Obama a run for your money and now the boys club (super delegates, politicians, republicans and the media) is now shutting her out and forcing the decision before the June election the reason being in reality they don???t want a woman to win (gender discrimination). Let???s face it Obama in their eyes is just going to be a sacrificial lamb who will be defeated by McCain and the Republicans and media know it. Think about it. All in all my vote and the vote of my family will be for HILLARY who has proven her dedication to this country she is our Elizabeth R. who changed the course of time for the better of the people.

    About the Superdelegates: Hurrah for Joe Andrew, who had the courage to declare his choice of candidate at the right time! I wish more Superdelegates would have the same courage, thus putting this historical campaign back on track and diminishing risks of non-issues de-railing it and political pandering creating false images.
    It's my hope that NC and Indiana voters don't allow themselves be patronized by deceiving schemes and aggressive words which just fog reality. Please make trustworthiness and integrity the best foundation of your choice!

    Why is only Obama's patriotism questioned based on not wearing a flag pin? Hilliary NEVER wears on and McCain is frequently without one. If this symbol announces patriomism, shouldn't all presidential candidates be expected to meet the same criteria? In fact perhaps ALL Americans should be judged on this on symbol.
    Let's look at the issues that really matter to American voters and measure all three candidates by their positions.

    It is not that race matters. It is about the false perception that Obama has given to the American people. He continues to say one thing and does another. He wants to be held to a different standard than Senator Clinton and the media has gone along with it. The media has shoved this man down my throat and made as though I should vote for him. I am a black woman and I do not believe in him.

    A good speech does not take away the lies that he has made. A speech does not take away the racism that he has brought into his campaign. A speech does not take away the racist associate that he chosen to align himself with. A speech does not take away the wrong that he has done to Senator Clinton, by twisting her words and so forth. A speech does not take away 20 years of a relationship he has with this man. A speech does not take away the pain he has caused. A speech does not give him the Presidency to invite people over to the White House that ignites racism. A speech does not give him that right to inflict the pain he has caused Geraldine Ferraro.

    Black people would not tolerate a KKK into the white house. Therefore, Obama state he will continue his relationship with his pastor (Wright), even though this man is not related, so I say, why the American people should give the opportunity to Obama to potential invite his pastor to the White House. Obama is not sorry enough to cut his relationship with his pastor and his church; therefore, I say drop-out.

    This is more than about race. This is also about Obama lying to the American people. This is about not having double standards. This is about him learning from his own mistake and igniting race into this primary election. This is about Obama making the Clintons to be awful people when they have served the public for decades. This is about the unjust they have done to them. This is about making people feel as though you cannot mention race because if you do, the Obama camp will cry foul. This is about the position they (Obama) would take if the shoe was on the other foot. This is about Obama pretending to be something that he was not, and making fools and insulting people intelligence. This is about Obama not able to make a decision and judgments. This is about Obama involved with individuals that is not good for our society. This is about Obama involved in relationship that prosper race.

    At this moment he wants to tackle race relations and give me a speech as though he is the victim. He wants to give me a speech as though he is my savior to be all and end all racism, when he is in the midst of individuals that are racist and heartless. Please, give me a break, how dare you insult my intelligence to save your self. Remember this I am a black woman and I am highly offended. I say step down and drop-out of the race because I do not need a man like you representing my Country.

      As a white woman it is "People" like you that gains respect for others. I find you very heart felt and wise. I appreciate and feel the same way you do it should not be about race but unfortunately that is all it has been. I feel it has put a great divide between us and I fear it will continue long after this is all done. I pray not for us both.
