The Upside of Being Knocked Around - Barack Obama - New York Times

So, now that it might finally be over , does Senator Barack Obama come out a bloody mess, or a battle-tested warrior? In recent weeks, a wiseguy consensus seems to have settled on the former: the idea that ...

Blacks lack the power to create, organize and develope ideas and projects.
Blacks have the urge to kill and rape other races. Murder dominates the brain of the Ape.90% of murders are commited by Blacks, our jails are full of these Apes.

America is already bankrupt because Apes are moving up and being promoted by White traitors.
Just wait until Black Supremacist Obama gets in, gas will be $12 per gallon and food will be rationed, only Blacks will eat and the rest will starve.
I urge all Whites, Latins and Asians to boycott black events, persons, TV, Music etc effectively immediately. Support only White related events.
Blacks want to exterminate the White race and impose the Law of the Jungle on the civilized world.
A superior White man can not accept a leader who is Black. A Black can not and should not teach a White man or white children. If we accept this condition then we deserve to be below black apes.
It's up to Us to decide if we want to be exterminated or fight back the forces of evil and put them in their place according to the Bible.
Arabs usually kill any daughter that falls for black men. Arabs know Blacks are African Apes
The Constitution was drafted by White men for White men. Not for Black Apes.
The inevitability of a race war looks omminously possible. So.....prepare. Freedom is not free and we must fight to Free Ourselves from Ape rule

Get on your raft and swim back to Cuba. You haven't been in the US long enough to realize KKK hates Asians, and Mexicans/Cubans, and especially Jews!

You're a phony from another hated minority group.

Californians Would Switch Clinton Vote For Obama
While voters in the California Democratic Presidential Primary backed Clinton by a 10-point margin, a new SurveyUSA poll shows that if given the chance to vote again, Californians would choose Barack Obama by a 6-point margin, 49%-43%.
http://cbs5.com/politics/poll.clinton.obama.2...

Mr. Cool's Intensity
...Obama has remained "Mr. Cool," even when his campaign seemed to be blowing up around him. He didn't do the politically expedient things: He didn't wear his patriotism on his lapel with an American flag pin; he didn't promptly disown his race-baiting former pastor, Jeremiah Wright; he didn't apologize for comments by his wife, Michelle, that many Americans found unpatriotic. You can say what you like about the substance of these positions, but the interesting fact is that Obama didn't flinch.

"Yes, we know what's coming. I'm not naive," Obama said in the North Carolina speech. "We've already seen it ... pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy, in the hopes that the media will play along."

That's the message: Attack me; attack my pastor; attack my wife; bring it on. I'm ready.

The past several months have revealed Obama's vulnerabilities, but they've also shown his ability to take a punch. Many whites are furious that he didn't throw Wright overboard sooner, but blacks surely like him all the more for resisting the pressure. And there's an instinctive American fondness for people who don't rat out their friends, even when their friends are creeps. That's why a Wright-based strategy may backfire for the Republicans, just as it did for Hillary Clinton....

GOP getting crushed in polls, key races
By JIM VANDEHEI & DAVID PAUL KUHN | 5/10/08 12:49 PM EST

"...At the polls, it has been a massacre. In recent weeks, Republicans have lost a Louisiana House seat they had held for more than two decades and an Illinois House seat they had held for more than three. Internal polls show that next week they could lose a Mississippi House seat that they have held for 13 years.

In the polls, they are setting records (and not the good kind). The most recent Gallup Poll has 67 percent of voters disapproving of President Bush; those numbers are worse than Richard Nixon’s on the eve of his resignation. A CBS News poll taken at the end of April found only 33 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the GOP — the lowest since CBS started asking the question more than two decades ago. By comparison, 52 percent of the public has a favorable view of the Democratic Party.

Things are so bad that many people don’t even want to call themselves Republicans. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press has found the lowest percentage of self-described Republicans in 16 years of polling.

“The anti-Republican mood is fairly big, and it has been overwhelming,” said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis...."

Obama is now Tried and Tested? In what? Running for office? He has done that before. What are his positions? Where is the substance? Give us a list of substantive proposals on the economy, on the military, on healthcare. Saying that you want change, but not saying what that change is, is not very helpful to the voters. Is Obama afraid that if the American people knew what his changes would be, that he would not be elected?
History shows what happened when another far left (socialist) leader was elected to make change in face of a recession....WWII-Hitler caused a mighty change in Germany with socialist reforms which took the money from Jews, and other groups, to support the National Socialist party agenda.
Now-I am not saying that Obama is like Hitler-please don't misquote me. I am just saying that we should know in advance what change we are voting for. I have seen no specific ideas coming from Obama. No substance, just rhetoric. If you want my vote, tell me what you stand for.

Obama has come out of the primaries with LOTS more experience than he had. Nearly 50% more.
That should tell you something, that this guy doesn't have experience. If elected, you bozos who vote for him will get what you deserve, unless you are black. Then you will get a lot more than you deserve, which is nothing. No one deserves to get special treatment, and the US government's purpose is not to make the rich poor by taking their wealth to give to the lazy, but that sadly, is the African American way.
NoBama is a better Bama than Obama.

Are most of us still unable to look toward a better and stronger country that provides space for a well-educated middle-class and a safety net for all, a government that does not spy on us, and does not torture; Will we vote our interests, or will we vote our prejudices?

It is important for us to see the answer to this question, now. Then we can move on knowing full well whether we have grown, or are still, as a voting nation, mired in the mantle of white supremacy.

The nomination and election of a Barack Obama may be our last chance to stem the national fire sale of jobs and rights and integrity that has been conducted behind our backs by every White House occupant since Ronald Reagan's election.

A general election of Barack Obama versus John McCain is in many ways a stark contest of experience versus change -- and change is currently winning, according to the new ABC/Washington Post poll:

Obama 51%
McCain 44%

Sample size: 1,122 adults.
Margin of error:±3%

For poll questions on different character traits, McCain leads on who has better experience (71%-18%) and who has better knowledge of world affairs (65%-24%). But Obama has big majorities on which candidate would bring needed change to Washington (59%-29%), better personality and temperament (56%-32%), better understands people's problems (54%-35%), and has a clearer vision for the future (54%-34%).

The Obama camp announced the endorsements of Rep. Tom Allen of Maine, the party's candidate for U.S. Senate, Sen. Daniel Akaka of Hawaii, DNC member Dolly Strazar of Hawaii, and Idaho state party chair Keith Roark.

According to the Obama camp's numbers, he is now exactly 150 delegates away from clinching the nomination.

Obama, the very candidate who created the flag pin wearing controversy and said he does not wear a flag pin because he lets his ideas show his patriotism is guess what? Obama now is wearing a flag pin on his lapel while campaigning in West Virginia. So now Obama has had a change of heart and wears the flag pin when he feels the need to pander to voters. So what is Obama’s real position on patriotism? Its is still being determined whether Obama was sporting his special 57 state flag pin. This must be a new “change” in Obama’s 57 State campaign plan.

Barack Obama, who labeled discussion of whether he wears a flag pin in his lapel a false issue in a debate with Hillary Clinton, was wearing one Monday as he campaigned in West Virginia ahead of Tuesday’s primary vote there.

Obama made no reference to the pin, which could be clearly seen in television images and through telephoto lenses as he spoke in Charleston, W. Va., about veterans issue. There was no public comment from his campaign.

Obama has once again shown that he is nothing more than a typical candidate as there is now a reported flag pin sighting in West Virginia.

america will not put a black man in office plain and simple the race card is too hot a topic these days and fear of an all black state is too much for medically induced votes
but to put a woman in office knowing bubba has a voice is scary and the fact that she still hasnt addressed universal healthcare is an issue
and to put an old seasoned military veteran georgie boy junkie who will keep the war machine printing hundred dollar bills is also scary
ralph nader hmmmmmm wonder if he can do any worse than 8 years of war
