Any Obama supporters who think Obama can explain how he was a member of this church for 20 yrs and was married by Wright .. his kids baptised by Wright .. and called him his close friend and spiritual mentor ... and still expect to be elected president .. You need help ... You are completely dilusional
Obama is a racist ... and so is Oprah

True. But it's the DEMOCRATIC candidates that I can't support for just that reason.

As a Jewish American, I would like Mr. Obama to prove to me exactly why his health care plan without adult mandates is somehow better than Clinton's. As it now stands, his plan sounds half-hearted and underdeveloped, while Clinton's sounds as if it is a core value of her campaign, and one that she has been developing and honing for quite some time.
I want universal health care for all Americans regardless of age, race or income (a very Jewish social value btw)-- so until Obama can prove his plan is no more than a pasted-together, half-hearted campaign promise, Clinton has my support.
Take a close look at countries that have universal health care, i.e.Germany,Canada,England. What use to work no longer does. Services get cut back, long waiting periods for operations etc. It is not the panacea that one would think. I don't know what we should do, it is a difficult problem but I don't think I want our government running it. Governments don't do anything well, that is,except waste taxpayer money.

Perhaps you and your staff should watch more TV.
Last night on CNN and FOX and Today on MSNBC and NBC and ABC AND OTHER OUTLETS there were multiple stories on the Rev. Wright (Obama's pastor in Chicage) who said amongst other racial tirades that instead of "God Bless America, it should be God Damn America" AND BLAMED THE US AND US (RICH WHITE PEOPLE).
Please get your crack staff (or is it cracked staff) on this story that everyone but you is reporting. It is now 1:30 P.M.
on Friday Mar 14, 2008 and you have nothing on your web site about this racial outrage.

Do you ever woder why we Americans have no respect for you, your editors and your reporters!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

Obamma. Yes, that is what Obama is like.
Obama is a lying sonofabitch. He is a pathological liar who will say anything to get elected.
He is a very, very, very, very dangerous man.
What is even scarier is that people believe him and want him to be our next President. Although this will not happen, it's frightening how easily people are misled.
Hitler also misled the Germans.
Only a complete fool would mention the name Obama and the name Hitler in the same post. If you really want fascism, check out the senator who goes around singing: "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.":

Going to a racist church for twenty years and hanging with thta loonie preacher as his mentor is scary. I would have rather seen Obama beat Hillary until this story emerged.
If Obama goes to a racist church does that he means he hates half himself? You know like if he tried to dunk a basketball and came short or something.

The slant of this article and the responses on this board are alarming. I thought Obama, Clinton and McCain were running for President of the United States. Shouldn't the next American President be catering to the needs of...well...AMERICANS?!?!

Israel has its own Prime Minister, President and government. If you love Israel, that's fine with me, I have nothing against you for it. Go live there. I wish you much happiness and success.

But don't use the United States as a proxy to make Israel stronger. The relationship between the two countries violates the sovereignty of the United States (and Israel as well, ironically enough) and harms American citizens financially and militarilly who have no loyalties to Israel.

Ironic, I could of swore I saw thousands of pale faces marching behind MLK in the south, at the same risk of life and limb, with no need for a thanks-doing it simply because it was the right thing.
When states like NJ apologize for slavery, i reject it, simply because it comes with no acklogement of the hundred of thousand of poor whites who dies in Union colors to free you.
I see it this way: If Bush said we're having a Iraq draft and anyone who cant pay 30K will be draftet, blacks would riot.
How does that differ from the NYC riots here when the great irish enslaver (abe lincoln) drafted millions of new americans to fight for something they never took place in?
Abe lincoln is a racist and a coward, as is Mr Wright.
Did he mention the billions "White"Tax payers have funneled into africa?
Oh wait we created HIV..
Yes, and the Spitzer scandal was a plot by black CIA agents to get patterson into office!!!!
Hello Paul! My name is JG OP. I really like this cool message board. I hope to make some cool friends. I am really lonely. I live in Cook County, Illinois....so, you know I'm educated. I like NASCAR, Menthol cigarettes, puppy dogs, Kaufman's Deli and long walks on the beach. I'm voting for Hillary! My wife thinks thats best. I better, or my wife will beat me. My wife watches male strippers with her other fat friends. God, I'm lonely. Anyone want to cyber? How many sleeping pills will kill me? I'm voting for Hillary...oh wait, I think I already said that.

Ricky, there is no conflict between being 100% loyal to America AND being concerned about foreign governments.

More than a few Americans have traditionally wanted our government to help protect some foreign governments (not just Israel, but Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Tawain, etc).

And more than a few Americans have traditionally wanted our government to pressure, other, less friendly, governments (such as Cuba, North Korea, Iran, now Venesuela, etc).

Cutting and running implies that we've lost. The problem is that people look at war way too humanitarianly. Winning a war means invading and toppling it's leadership. Rebuilding is just something added by the U.N. to try to keep un-necessary wars from happening. As far as I'm concerned, we've already won the Iraq war. Now, our current police action, that's a different story. So, in the end, pulling our troops out of there is not "cutting and running". The population of Iraq was dancing in the streets on 9/11 and even though I was against the unnecessary invasion, it's not because I felt bad for Iraqis. I'd pull out our troops, leave the country in dissaray and send a message to whoever would possibly cross the U.S. "Try any funny stuff with us, and this is how we'll leave you..."
BTW, if countries want to harbor terror groups who basically perform with a "hit and run" strategy, why not adapt that to our military. Invade, dismantle, topple, leave.....

You must be high.

They're our ally as long as we continue to pump billions into defending them; as long as we support their land-snatching and displacement of the Palestinians; and as long as we allow their US Jewish friends to have disproportionate influence in Washington. And of course, the entire Arab world hates us for it.

That kind of ally I can live without.

I did not say what they are doing is right but this is where our government stands, also it is 1 million dollars a day, not a billion, and I don't do drugs.

Man, it's a shame that we argue on these pages about race while a chimp for a president (and I didn't capitalize the "p" for a reason - he doesn't deserve it) is quietly gearing up his war machine for a war with Iran. The economy is a mess, in spite of what Wall Street says, our schools are crap, there ARE no more working class jobs, yet we argue about race. We are more dependent than ever on foriegn oil, have no plan in place to seek out viable energy alternatives, yet we argue about race. You idiots who choose to let your emotions or your own petty insecurities dictate which candidate you will vote for - deserve whatever you get. Pathetic.

I didn't specify a timeframe on the money; if you are correct at 1 million a day that would exceed 1 billion in less than 3 years so clearly we have already, and will continue to, pump BILLIONS into the support of Israel.

I'm not advocating that we stop, and I don't wish the nation of Israel to be overrun by Arabs or anyone else.

However as far as being an ally, which was your original position... I totally disagree with you.
