Obama. It still occurs to me, however, that the people who have yet to cast thier vote, are still in the dark. I know that many have heard about the Wright contraversy but the polls say that it wasnt the big punch that the media was hoping it was. If this does not sway people, then Sen. Obama may indeed become the President. If this happens, I will be afraid...very afraid. Thank you all so much for the additional insight into Sen. Obama.

Maybe that is one reason I think most people are turned-off. I had read a post on another forum that said that Obama is going to be president and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. My answer was....yes there is something I can do about it...not vote for him! I call it arrogance, not a good thing! I have been through 6 presidents that I can remember, and to me I have heard it all before....nothing but a bunch of BS! Obama is not any different than most that have ran for office. He just spins it a different way. But using different quotes out of history. One quote; driving a bus into a ditch....Jon Stewart in a interview 2004. The Hope & Change....Bill Clinton 1992 campaign. But Bill probably got it from someone else in history. Bamboozle....Malcolm X. some place in the 60's Then there is the Martin L King quotes. Roosevelt quotes This column is a good read, and I don't see anything wrong with it. If the excuse for Rev. Wright is because he came from 50' & 60's than why doesn't that work for Ms. Ferraro considering she came from that time as well. I think she was one of the first women politicians back then.

Why is this school taking so long to address these students behavior? BH Obama will be our next president, deal with it and get educated. The hate sounds in this blog is troubling.

They need to create a coalition of special interest/single issue voters to win. It fences them into positions that they maybe don't even believe in but have to support - it's not particularly appealing but it is what it is.

It is ironic that everyone is so worried about a man with islam influence when his pastor is the real America hater. Anyone ever think that reverse discrimination is something we should all do? obama is no more black than he is white, it doesn’t matter, he is dishonest about who and what he is.

I have the suspicion that the equivalency he'd drawn between Wright and his grandmother, and repeated jabs at Geraldine Ferraro have stuck with people. It's apparent that what Obama is proposing is really just the same old race politics, promoted in more moderate tones, and labeled as Unity. This controversy has forced him to the ground, and I think that it's going to be difficult for him to recapture the moral status that he'd been given to this point.

Thanks for recognizing this. I bristle each time I get painted into the race questions by either blacks or whites, but the game is the game. “It may not be fair if voters are especially nervous about how an African-American named Barack Hussein Obama comes down on these issues, but life’s not fair.”

Do you consider a man who would do this to be intelligent?
