I say "yay immigrants!" too. I think it is a good thing that they have something to point to, especially since immigrants from Africa or Haiti (poorer nations where people of African descent live) are given a poor reception and the INS are much quicker to ship them home. They are victims of racism because immigrants from eastern Europe, Central and South America, and the Indian Sub-Continent are privilleged over them. It is good that they have a beacon of hope and perhaps the US government will not be so quick to toss immigrants from those countries out on their asses.

By the way, al-Zawahiri called Obama a "house negro," not an Uncle Tom. There is a subtle distinction, but the concept is pretty close. Yes, I find comedic value in it (not for the same reason you do) and, in all seriousness, I can see how they would see it that way.

The thing is that Obama is only different from McCain and Bush in that he says he wants to withdraw from Iraq. However, he still wants to invade another Muslim nation (Pakistan is a Muslim nation and launching air strikes into that country counts as an invasion), he wants to escalate the conflict in Afghanistan, and he pledges unwaivering support for Israel no matter what it does and shows no interest in punishing it for being an apartheid state. There is almost no daylight between those guys and their positions. I know that HRC believes the same things and I do not like her for it, but let's be honest.

We will have to agree to disagree on the rest.

If Hillary does not see this for the okey doke that it is, then she is not as smart as I thought she was. Obama is not flattering her, he is trying to neuter her and her husband. If Sen. Clinton is dumb enough to take this position, she walks right into the viper's pit. She will serve at Obama's pleasure. Should she not kiss his ass enough, the way she did in the primaries, he can kick her to the curb. Obama's real coup will be to end the Clinton Global Initiative. How wonderful would it be if Obama can end all of the good works Bill Clinton has done since his presidential term. Obama and his followers advanced his candidacy on the idea that Bill Clinton was a bad president, did nothing for the country, and was a racist bad person. Through his charitable work, Clinton has done wonders to rehabilitate the image he tarnished when he was embroiled in the Lewinsky scandal. Should Sen. Clinton accept the SoS position, Bill Clinton will have to dismantle his global initiative to avoid conflicts of interest. Obama and his groupies can then trash him all they want and he will have nothing to point to in the way of good works. Obama would love nothing more than to see Bill Clinton fail. He hates him just as much as Bill hates him.

Obama and his groupies have made fools of the Clintons. He got their friends to turn on them in the primaries. Bill Clinton was invited to speak at Coretta Scot King's funeral, Obama wasn't. Pres. Clinton brought the house down because he is in his element in the black church and because the black community loved and respected him. Obama and his followers managed to take that love and turn it into hate. Only a skilled politician can do that. Obama ran on the line that he would bring fresh faces and ideas to Washington and move on from the awful Clinton years. Then he put Bill and Hillary to work and made them campaign for him. Then he hired everyone from the Clinton cabinet and White House staff. Obama can kill them off completely if Sen. Clinton takes these crumbs from his table.

I hope Sen. Clinton smartens up and runs from Obama like the plague. He is a snake in the grass and he is looking to make her even more irrelevant.

Obama supporters, I think you should trust him on Sen. Clinton. He has her and Bill so down and out that they are not only willing to let him shit on their heads, but they will thank him for the hat. He is poised to finish dicking them over. Trust him, he has managed to crush them up to this point and they are about to help him destroy them completely.
