Whispers get loud around Michelle Obama

What I do know is that I do not know everything, noone knows it all, and I do like exchanging ideas and facts.

I do not support racism of any kind, white on black, or black on white.

I do not purport to be an expert on either candidate, not am I a cheerleader for every facet of a politicians life.

I get the feeling he'll be a lot more careful with the timeline of his life's story this time around.

Maybe he/she will take syntax's advice and keep notes this time lol.

Keep telling yourself this BS you are dishing is fact based when it's your uninformed opinion it will make you feel better, or maybe not.

Well, you have to inject some silliness and humor once in a while to keep from going off the deep end. Too many people come in here with their teeth clenched and their as*es so tight you couldn't pry the cheeks apart with a crowbar.

Black men who shack up with trashy White Women may be in a bind with Allah.

.Which one of Obama's close friends wrote this?

.These are just some quick questions that I think will provoke some thoughts in your minds and my mind. How can the so-called Negroes who call themselves enlightened leaders expect the poor black sheep to integrate into a society of bloodthirsty white wolves, white wolves who have already been sucking on our blood for over four hundred years here in America? Or will these black sheep also revolt against the "false shepherd," the handpicked Uncle tom Negro leader, and seek complete separation so that w e can escape from the den of the wolves rather than be integrated with wolves in this wolves' den? And since we are in church and most of us here profess to believe in God, there is another question: When the "good shepherd" comes will he integrate his long-lost sheep with white wolves? According to the Bible when God comes he won't even let his sheep integrate with goats. And if his sheep can't be safely integrated with goats they certainly aren't safe integrated with wolves.

"Buzzer" - wrong. I've read the posts since I was here last and you post/comment almost exclusively to people holding your opinion.

You don't even have the nut to address me directly. So what does this say about you?

<quoted text>OK know it all, which one of Obama's close friends wrote this? Would you concider this racist?
.The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that there is but one God whose proper name is Allah, and one religion, the religion of Islam, and that this one God will not rest until he has used his religion to establish one world-a universal, one-world brotherhood. But in order to set up his righteous world God must first bring down this wicked white world. The black revolution against the injustices of the white world is all part of God's divine plan. God must destroy the world of slavery and evil in order to establish a world based upon freedom, justice, and equality. The followers of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad religiously believe that we are living at the end of this wicked world, the world of colonialism, the world of slavery, the end of the Western world, the white world or the Christian world, or the end of the wicked white man's Western world of Christianity.

Dude,
You really need help. You should talk to someone about all of that hate you have stored in you.

Why are you bringing up Elijah Muhammad’s words from 50 years ago? Those words and statements are older then Obama himself. What is you r point? I swear you are the king of pointlessness.

Do you remember the America that Elijah Muhammad grew up and lived in? I bet you wish for the days when blacks had to sit on the back of the bus and could not enjoy the same basic civil human rights that whites had. You are such a lame coward.

Stop distorting the truth and just promote your candidate. If he is worthy of being the president you would not have to resort to such tricknology. Grow up you old fool!

No you possess racist opinions and attitudes with regard toward the poor or disadvantaged.

Your liberal BS posts do not fool anyone there is a strong undercurrent of dislike for poor people.
Your "maybe they'd value their education more if it weren't free" statement spoke volumes about you and your opinions.

Why does McCain hate veterans?

McCain brags about standing up to some members of his own party and it turns out he does. He was one of only thirteen senators to vote against an amendment to an emergency appropriations bill for 2006 "to provide an additional $430,000,000 for the Department of Veterans Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient and inpatient care and treatment for veterans," designating large amounts towards post-traumatic stress disorder treatment and readjustment counseling.

He voted with his party, however, to prevent the repeal of the Bush tax cuts and the closing of corporate loopholes in order to provide $1.5 billion in additional medical services to the growing veteran population in the 2007 budget.

He doesn't make veterans' issues much of a legislative priority either. According to the Vietnam Veterans of America, McCain is currently a sponsor or cosponsor of zero out of 38 pending bills on veterans' issues (Obama is a sponsor or cosponsor of eight.)

The Military Coalition (TMC), a group of over 35 veterans organizations (including the VFW), sent each member of the Senate a letter explaining why it was important for veterans that the Senate vote to reverse the 10.6% decrease in Medicare physician payment rates. This was the vote or which Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) returned to the Senate to ensure its passage in July. McCain was not present for the vote, but said he would have voted against it.

The TMC also sent a letter urging senators to support Sen. Bill Nelson's amendment to the Defense Authorization Act of 2009. Nelson's amendment would repeal a law that deducts survivor benefits for military families from VA benefits. The amendment currently has 33 cosponsors, Democrat and Republican. Obama is one of them, McCain is not. Obama is also a cosponsor of a new bill, the Veterans Voting Support Act, which would make it easier for veterans to register to vote. McCain has "not yet formulated a position."

According to Project VoteSmart, McCain has had a spotty history with veterans groups. In addition to the 20% he earned from the Disabled American Vets in 2006, he also received a 25% in 2005, a 50% in 2004, and a 66% in 1999. He received 18% form the Retired Enlisted Association in 2006 and 0% from them in 2004. From the Vietnam Veterans of America he received: a 100% in 2003-2004, a 46% in 2001, a 0% in 1997-1998, and a 50% in 1989-1990.

The fact that you were pro-Hilary Clinton says it all.

It at least explains his contorted argument for McSame. He all but admitted that he is a democrat and has been one. He will instead vote for and support a candidate that stands on the opposite side on just about every issue. That's what I call fear of a black president.

Hyphenated black guy,
Then your logic extends to ignoring all the pre-Barry-the-messiah leaders? Or just the inconvenient ones, hyphenated or not.

McCain does not hate veterans!!!

He just does not know how to relate to them because he lives the life of an elite while the average veteran lives the life of the lower middle class. It's not his fault he can't empathize with those struggling to pay their mortgages. Him an Cindy have 4 to 10 houses free and clear of debt. How the hell could one expect him to understand the plight of a homeless veteran?? Yeah I know he served with many of them, but hell how hard is it for them to find a rich doped out Barbie doll to finance their way to money power and undeserved respect?

Give the old guy a break. Your being too hard on him. He is an American hero(or something like that).

You only respond to them because they agree with everything you say. Taking the easy way out so much for that education of yours.

Why should she waste her time answering a personal attack on her instead of discussing issues? She has more class than that.

Wrong. You just can't inject the race card when someone opposes this most liberal, pro income, re-distributing, reflexive appeaser get near the Oval Office. Again, it is always party over person-that goes for Obambi and McSame.

It is 10 houses that McCain has, 10. But, of course, Obama is an elitist. Only the right wing spin could pull that one off.
