Your turn.

Good morning, Carol! I will miss you.

In China, some 3rd parties manage the internet for global brands!

Won't be a surprise to see the same happening for this marketing whiz kid Obama.

I'm sure he'd prefer that also but, if anyone has the right to call himself African-American, I think that he does since his father was African and his mother was American. Sound logical?

No.
Anyone who puts another country's name before America is showing greater allegiance to another country. Anyone has a right to do that, EXCEPT someone who wants to be the President of America.

Have you ever watched Michele Obama at any length, on cspan, for example?
Yeah, I thought so. Because then you would know that she is one smart lady.

Agreed - I enjoy watching her. Very articulate and here intelligence shows.

I also enjoy seeing her and Obama together - I like those little fist "punches" that they enchange.

No "white" person could ever call me racist and not get laughed at.Moreover a "white" people are not qualified to dispute the "black" person's definition of the application of racism because they lack experience.This is akin to someone reading one book on wormholes and then trying to teach a class about the hypercurve of space.
NOT Qualified!!!!Suffering from racism is a "black" thang that you could never understand.
I am just entertained by the conversation.

I understand racism, your post is a perfect example. The only thing missing is black conical sheet over your head.

By refering to himself as an African American that shows greater allegiance to another country? By celebrating part of his heritage with other African Americans is a bad thing?

Why not then come down just as heavy on the white racists on board here? Why just Rose?

That is why we have a standing military.

Boing! Admirable riposte.

But what have John McCain and the GOP got but FEAR & LOATHING, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? NOTHING.

Republican rule has been a disaster for America. Now we have a chance to elect an ambitious, visionary young man who is confident in the future of our country if Americans are willing to re-engage as citizens. Obama doesn't BS the public into thinking they can have something for nothing, like Bush did with his war of choice and his tax cuts for the rich. He tells them they will have to sacrifice to right the ship.

I think of the people whose sons and daughters were sacrificed in Afghanistan and Iraq for the United States. They will never see their children again. Any sacrifice asked of me pales by comparison.

The US has always been an imperial country, ever since the native Americans were systematically exterminated in the march of manifest destiny, but this time the imperial impulse has been tragically self-defeating. Incredible that John McCain, who out of sheer political expediency voted 90% of the time these past few years with the man most responsible for the precipitous decline of the US, would be considered fit to lead the country.

When you're in a hole, STOP DIGGING.

If you're Welsh...of course!
Why is it that you THINGS NEVER COMPLAIN WHEN GERMAN, JEWISH, ITALIAN, NATIVE, ASIAN, POLISH ETC AMERICAN DO THE SAME???
You only attack the Africans Born in America when they claim their ethnicity.
What you need to do, is GET A LIFE, THING!!! STAY THE H#LL OUT OF THIS FORUM!!!!!

Real Americans are tolerant of others opinions whether they agree with them or not. Your attitude towards those you don't agree with coupled with your blind support of Obama is a main reason why he is dangerous for the country.

Try this on.......... American of African descent. Same celebration possible, so why not use that?

or try this on - most Americans celebrate their ancestry - I am German and Dutch - aside from a yearly Octoberfest - I don't celebrate either culture.

Although my neighborhood is not dotted with flags on the front porch, if there is a flag waving - it most likely is an Italian, Greek or Irish one WITH the American flag along side it.

So what.

<quoted text>News report last week on a California city whose pension fund went bankrupt because of high retirement and wages. It was a police sargent but I do not remember the firemen, You cam up with an average figue of $187K . Don't you think it possible for a city in California to pay $30K higher to each?

Sure, it's possible...but how many police captains are married to a commanding officer? possible, but not likely...

<quoted text>You think it is ridiculous to be responsible for your children? You are joking aren't you? I am sure you would take care of your kids. Everyone needs help now and then. When Obama's momma was down on her luck after her Muslim 1st husband left she was on welfare. Good there was a safety net. After she married her next Muslim husband I am sure she was off welfare. I don't think they have welfare in Indonesia

I have a college fund set up for my daughter...but my parents couldn't afford one for me, so I paid my way through college...according to your statement, my parents shouldn't have had me be 'cause it wouldn't have been responsible! THAT's what I'm saying is ridiculous about your statement!

That is the "change" from the obammamessiah. Change from issue/promise to another.
