There is only one race the Human race. Some just have more or less pigment than others. Neither Democrat is qualified to run this country. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican.

He is not a moron because of his skin color, that has nothing to do with it. He is a moron because he says and does moronic things. He makes ridiculous comparisons that are not based upon fact, but upon some sick fantasy of his. Obama's character is called into question because he didn't question his mentor until it was made into an issue. The fact is that there has never been a better time in the US for "racial issues." We have a Black man and a White woman a hairsbreadth away from becoming POTUS. That doesn't happen in the America that Wright tries to describe. His comment that we brough 911 down upon us has as much truth as saying that a woman wearing a mini skirt is at fault for being raped. Blame the victim is never cool and never acceptable. But people like simplicity. They like going for easy answers and so some will flock to the simple lies that Wright peddles. How very sad.

I'm very impressed with what I've seen of Obama's wisdom and political style. I so hope that enough of you vote for him, so that the whole world can benefit from Obama himself and from the changes his becoming President will symbolise. I live elsewhere in the world.

Racism is alive and well. And very quietly not going to vote for Obama. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying what I see around me. It sucks.

Racism is alive and well.
And very quietly not going to vote for Obama.

If you don't like Obama, you're a racist now? How is that progress? Obama comes across to me as the classic slimy car salesman or greasy lawyer/politician. He never gets flustered and has not just an answer for everything, but a perfect 30 second sound bite. He's so smooth and polished that I don't relate to him at all. Hillary, on the other hand, seems more human to me because she's not perfect. She definitely gets rattled and frustrated, which to me shows she's got some heart. Obviously Obama is inspiring to a lot of people. I just don't get it. To me it's like watching the thousands of religious folk be wooed by a television evangelist.

You rock. I just had a conversation with my 83 year old grandma who told me that she voted for Obama in the primaries. I was thrilled. Of course, in the next breath she told me that my 93 year old grandpa (on my dad's side, not her husband) had just informed her that he -- a hard-core democrat -- was voting for McCain this year.
