Ok well we all know whats going on with Obama. That terrible pastor that he listens to. He wont put his hand over his heart to pledge alligence to the country that he wants to be president of. There were pictures of Obamam dressed in full Afrcian garb in Somalia. Wasnt Somalia the same the country that cheered as American soldiers bodies were dragged through the streets dead when we had gone there to help them?

Shows respect for that crappy country but not ours
I could do without this guy
What about you all?

i could do without politicians in general

I feel the same way, but Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president. I do not think he will win against McCain, but he will definitely beat Hillary. My reasoning as to why Obama will be the Democratic nominee is that he is black and the Democratics are afraid not to give him the nomination, because of what will happen in the Black Community. There was a black woman who is backing Hillary on CNN tonight. She said that she, along with other blacks who are backing Hillary are being threatened. The threats are death threats and warnings that the black community will not re-elect any black official behind Hillary.

Well his roots do stem to africa so why shouldn't he be able to express his heritage? true, somallians have no love for americans, then again, except for americans, who does? While he will become the Dem's candidate, He will lose to McCain, it won't be because he's black, It'll be because he isn't "american" enough to lead this nation in some people's eyes.

This is a pack of lies. You need to get your facts straight. He says the pledge all the time in the Senate with his hand over his heart. Obama is half Kenyan, he was wearing the garb of his fathers country upon to request to honor the leaders of that country. President Bush has done the same thing. You got just about everything wrong. Maybe you should talk about something you can understand.

Dont believe what Bobby wrote dude. Its a bunch of lies.

If you feel the same way as Bobby, you are very uninformed. Everything he said is WRONG.

a= not black or from Africa.born here.he is supposedly American.
Somolia is not his roots since his Dad is from Kenya

b)not denoucing the racist pastor spits in the face of his white heritage plus the rest of America since its obvious that America is not where his alliance lies since he can't say the pledge.
c)he'll lose cause his race speech was to little,too late and he still won't dump the racist pastor.if hillary was backed by the Klan,lord help her ass.
d)didn't find Jesus is just using him to get elected cause Allah aint too popular right now.
e)next

I refuse to elect a man who panders to one segment of the poulation while talking out his ass to the rest.i respect your opinion on this guy but to me he is a scary person and not cause he's black but because of his associations.

Yes, half of Obama's roots stem to Africa, but the other half come from Kansas, which you obviously do not know is in America. The statement that no one other than Americans love America sounds like something out of Rev. Wright's book. Additionally, the remark that Obama will lose to McCain because he "isn't American enough to lead our nation" is another Rev. Wright racist remark. Obama will lose because he is a racist; he is playing the race card and believes he can get away with it, because he is declaring himself to be black. However, a lot of Americans are angry that this man who is running as a unifier is doing nothing but dividing our country with his loyalty and allegiance to Rev. Wright, a man who is racist and anti-American.

It is mud slinging and sadly I heard that Hillary may be responsible for the picture of him in African garb in an attempt to relate him to Arabic figures.

As for his pastor, pastors say alot of things and from what I can tell most of the congregation does NOT apply it to their lives, so that is a very sad attempt at discredation.

Not one commentator that I have heard has commented on something that I pieced together, and believe it makes much more sense that the radical teaching of Wright did leave a mark on the Obama's.

We all know how close Obama was to Wright, that can't be denied, and he did admit that he was present during times the man said things "that could" be taken as being controversial.

Okay, we know all that. But does everyone forget the time Michelle Obama said "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country"?

Does that NOT sound like an opinion she came to after hearing, taking in, and agreeing to the radical, anti-American, anti-White, anti-Jew statements Wright has been saying for years? I mean, this lady went to Princeton and Harvard!

How exactly does she and Barack connect with the "struggling black man, unable to get anywhere in life because of whitey" that Pastor Wright preaches on and made his wealth from?

Michelle Obama's comments are a DIRECT SIGN that the hateful rhetoric of Wright not only seeped into her and likely Barack's opinion of the country, but it is also being displayed, her was the obvious slip of it.

Ok apparently you people are overreacting to what I said so I'll have to explain which I thought you'd be intelligent enough to understand, but apparently not.

1) The bit about his heritage. I know he's half-white, half-black, I know his mom is from Kansas and his dad from Africa. Whoop-de-do, big surprise there.

2) He'd be a fool not to use to race card. If it was a hispanic or an asian in his place, it'd be the same thing so if anyone's not being racist it's me. Despite his white heritage, the fact that he doesn't look white will be enough for some people to not vote for him and thats the truth of the matter, most white people will not admit that, but we all know its in the back of their minds, the votes will make that known.

People really should quit trying to single him out because of his connections, after all Bush is connected to the Saudis, or did you not know that? Does anyone care of course not, and whats this? Bush is white? Whodathunkit?

The list is long and varied. Don't buy into the media "everyone hates Americans" b.s.

However - if you happen to be one of the folks that "hate America", which as an American you are certainly free to do - I will make you the same offer that I have made to others. (If you are not, please skip the rest, have a great day)

If someone truly *hate* America - well, you certainly wouldn't want to stay, would you? After all - you *hate* it, right? I will pay for a one-way first class ticket to any country you like, from Reagan National Airport. I will even drive you over there.

We do have to make one stop first however, as a condition of your ticket. That will be for you to formally and officially renounce your American citizenship. So you sacrifice any and all rights, privileges and future entitlements. Since this is an official act, we might as well lump in a legal document that waives any and all claims made by you in the past, present or future concerning any U.S. citizen, or the American government.

Funny - I have made that offer so many times to people who rant on and on about 'hating America and everything American' but yet have one single taker for the offer. Puzzling......

I think you misunderstood, I don't hate America or Americans for that matter. I do disagree with alot of things that this country stands for like excecutions, abortions, religion, sports and what have you. I admit I am not an ardent patriot because its not in my nature to be, especially given my heritage, but to say all that only tells me that you've jumped the gun on me.

"Does Obama Have a Shot in Hell?"

I believe he does.

I prefer Hillary. But..if Obama becomes the Democratic candidate, I am backing him.

What heritage is that?

Of course he has a chance, despite being surrounded in controversy and corruption, he is still hailed by the media who has taken sides for a long time now.

There has been barely any coverage with his close ties to Tony Rezko and the fact that despite ads that says he doesn't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, he does take money from oil executives and those linked to the industry.

Besides for the fact Obama and his wife have a negative view of this country ("This is the first time I'm proud of my country", a quote that links so closely to Black Liberation Theology), nothing else has even been allowed to stick. The media is giving him a free pass and his cheering squad in the media (Chris Matthews especially) will never talk badly about him.

There will be more controversy and shady things that come out in the future that surrounds this man, but I don't think anyone in the media will allow it to hit the airwaves.

Lately, Obama has been showing up at Congressional committees trying to get his name on legislation to look good, and he has even showed up at press conferences, but wasn't at a single meeting...lol. The guy is shady. He even did this to his own buddy, Teddy Kennedy.
