    Will Logan, Thank you for your humorous perspective. Their was a time when you looked black that it truly made you black. Is Barack Obama black, yes, I don't think we can classify someone as biracial. You are black or white and he is as brown as me, and both my parents are black.

    You know their is a strong and compelling reason why the Republican party wants the nominee to be Hillary Clinton. Bill was a great President despite his personal indiscretions, but think back to Newt Gingrich and how divisive politics was at that time. Hillary talks about all the things she will do, but she will need support from the Republican party. We can't stay divided and be effective. Her way, of beat the Republicans is the old way. We need a new direction and a change of path. Hillary talks out of both sides of her mouth. Watch the last interview with Meet the Press. She dodged questions and was very evasive. She was for the war. She voted for it. She can't back track now and say Mr. Bush pushed us into the war that she voted for even knowing their were no weapons of mass destruction. She said she was briefed. Did she know or not.

    to Ilene58: only too true..... are we to elect the first woman president whose main "claim to fame" is her marriage to a previous president?

    What his article brings up is the question: who is Obama. Could he be, as he himself admitted, a true Chicago pol? Only hipper and slicker, a shape-shifter for the times?
    Consider that Obama was the polite, above the fray candidate in Iowa, successfully geared to the "positive" Iowans. Then he was the Kumbaya Prophet in New Hampshire. Nope, wrong shape; those flinty New Englanders are smar m-proof. Now, in Las Vegas he is a stand-up, putdown comic. Looking toward California, he is now also an acolyte in the Sainted Reagan Brotherhood. So, if you want to vote for Obama because he might be the first Black President, please remember he is as white as he is black. If you want to vote for him because of his imspirational speeches, okay, but remember that a salesman is not a prophet. If you want to vote for himbecause he is a person of integrity, well....reading the entrails, the portents are not good.

      Lmao, its funny how in 2008 America black is no longer a skin color its a way of thinking, and all about heritage percentages. I bet they wished they couldve claimed another race in the past, to avoid getting beat or discriminated against. Obama could never pass for a white man does that make him?? 100 years from now his potrait will be of a blond haired blue eyed white man..................You guys make my night every night. This is waaaay better than Letterman..........

    Lady Yashica, I wish you were truly listening to the reports that Obama has been sitting and talking to real americans like us to find out what their issues are. Hillary hasn't done anything different or better. I worry when Hillary talks about Day 1 experience that she is talking about Bill. Hillary has never been President and she doesn't have and experience showing that she can lead on Day 1.

    Who wants universal heath care. I want affordable health care. I want to be able to take my children to the Doctor and know that what they need will be taken care of. Some people pay for Medicaid now. You all that want universal heathcare need to look again at Canada's system. All of you that work in the healthcare field need to look again at all the universal healthcare systems that are out there. They don't work as good as some are attempting to make them sound.

      Yes universal healthcare may not be the best thing around but I have one question is it wost than what we have right now??. I do work for a hospital and the only thing that makes very upset is to see patients that are 90-96 year old having surgerie just because the doctors/hospitals wanna cash in on medicare/medicaid.
      I don't know if or how universal healthcare works all I know is that we want and deserve better than what we have right now which is next to nothing.

    if this country has to vote against someone because of their NAME we are not as great as a country as i thought......

  • Posted By: gatorchamps @ 01/20/2008 11:16:23 PM

    Honestly, is this country REALLY ready for a president whose middle name is Hussein?

    The vile tongue of the bigot like the serpent itself is split, it (the bigot) can truly speak out of both sides of its mouth. My name is American and it is Joe. The ugliness of racism can not be hide by the color of ones' skin . I see a lot of White children whose fathers have left them. Obama did not get a blow job in the White House, Obama did not out a C I A agent, Obama did not stop the U S Military from capturing Sadaam during Operation Desert Storm, Obama did not sell weapons to the irainiana, Obama did not authorize the Watergate break in. Who was William named after, who was George H or W named after, who was Richard named after...Kings? Who was Ronald named after...a burger clown?

    This article is preposterous. If health care is made affordable and available to everyone it is universal, even if some people choose not to accept coverage. A public elementary school education is universally available in the U.S., even if some paraents and children don't use the system. Indeed, with the tortured logic this ridiculous article employs, even programs mandating coverage would not be "universal" because there will no doubt be people in the U.S. who will refuse to comply. All drivers are required to have car insurance here in CA. Do they? No. If this is the kind of "misleading" conduct we can expect in the Obama administration, it will be a very good eight years. Newsweek's attacks are shameful.

      HEY BUT IS IT NOT EASIER TO ENFORCE A MANDATORY LAW THAN ONE THAT IS OPTIONAL? AFTERALL, SINCE IT IS NOT MANDATORY THEN MORE PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, SO GUESS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY FALL ILL, CAME THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN A GU WITH NO INSURANCE REARENDS YOU IN CA.. THINK A MERICA!111

    I could care less whether the next President is Black , White, a Man or a Woman. What I do care about is the cost of living , and between Gasoline, Home heating oil, Health Insurance and putting my kids college, Im voting for whom I believe gives us the best chance to get these costs under control . Im voting for Hillary.

    He's the first "black" man who also has a pretty face and is halfway intelligent to run for President. So what???

    That is why everyone is mesmerized by him. Do not worry - the new and emotion will wear off.
    Then people will start using their brains and realizing Hillary is the smartest and best qualified.

    HOW CAN WE TRULY BE DISUSSING RACE WHEN HE SHOULD BE MORE WHITE THAN BLACK. HIS BLACK DAD LEFT HIM, AND HIS WHITE MOM RAISED HIM. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES HE IS ONLY HALF BLACK. AND TIMOTHY IS MY SON'S NAME FROM THE BIBLE....WHO WAS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA NAMED AFTER

  • Posted By: hsama99 @ 01/20/2008 9:36:16 PM

    Wow. The Obama bashing site! I am amazed at the manipulation of his words and ideas! Obama is not contradicting himself or misrepresenting his healthcare plan. EVERYONE WOULD have the OPTION of his affordable plan but would NOT be OBLIGATED to enroll. His plan is not mandatory. People will still have a CHOICE. But EVERYONE will have the OPPORTUNITY to be included. In this way, everyone IS included if they CHOOSE to be. But it does not take away your FREEDDOM to CHOOSE. If you guys hate the guy because of his name and race...at least you're admitting your own prejudice. But using Hillary "logic" to try twist his words around when he's been straight forward--shows that you are no more able to reason and think that she has given you credit for. If the mob concensus follows this line of underhanded "reasoning" maybe we do deserve Hillary . I had higher hopes though. This time around---I really thought we might reach a higher common denominator.

    POSTED BY:THE WONDER. I, WONDERHOW MRS CLINTON CAN SAY SHE IS READY FOR THE PRESIDENT, ON DAY ONE. BECOUSE OF HER EXPERENCE, SHE HAS NEVER BEEN PRESIDENT BEFORE. AND TO HAVE THAT EXPERENCE YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEEN A PRESIDENT, AND SHE HAS NOT BEEN THAT. YOU ONLY GET THAT BY BEING THE PRESIDENT. CLOSE DOES NOT COUNT, THIS AINT, HORSE SHOES.

    I cannot believe all the hate I see in the postings. So what if his middle name is Hussain? He is not THAT man. Does that mean we should all hate people with the name Timothy - as in Timothy McVeigh. Let us not forget that terrorist come in all shapes, sizes and colors. It was a white man who committed a terrorist act - on American soil. So please stop trying to divide this presidential race by race and stop spitting your hatred. And for everyone's information - it was the Clinton camp that injected race. Specifically Bill Clinton. They want to act all chumy with black people, yet they are quick to try to play racial politics. I don't see why all of you racist bloggers don't have a problem with Bill Clinton going around thinking he's the first BLACK president. Why are you so excited about Hillary and not upset that every chance she and her husband get they are pandering to black people? I'm just asking....
