Denial is not just a river in Egypt AJ

Obama is lost, and has lost. The media can spin it, a delegate (notable a male delegate) can jump ship, and you can trade jabs and feel important in this unreality you exist in, but the man is over. finito. done.

He does not know who he is, or what he wants. He does not know who America is, and what she wants. And most importantly, he does not know what she needs. In a broader sense, Obama does not know how the world works, his place in it, and how important being President of the USA is. Until he figures this out, he should not have thrown his hat in the race.

On top of this confusion on his part, is the Rev. Wright/Trinity Church debacle. And you can sit and spin on this until the cows come home but the man is a FLAMING Racist and Obama is his god son and 20 year member of his church. In Obama's own words OVER AND OVER he pledges allegiance (undying allegiance, of course, until Rev. Wright dissed him on National TV) to this man, his mentor, his closet friend, the man that lead him to Jesus, etc., etc. And you CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT be a racist and be President of the USA. I do not want to hear from you Obamatons one more time that there is NO connection, he didn't believe, he didn't hear, he didn't know. BULLSHIT. Bullshit, and you know it. At least be this honest.

I want to tell you something. I feel sorry for Obama, because I detest racism and would come to the rescue of ANYONE being beaten down, hurt, or abused for any reason. I feel sorry for him because now the racists are laughing at him, and for this my heart breaks. However, he played with fire and got burned, and perhaps God is involved with this whole thing. Racism--black, white, anti-jew, anti-women--is WRONG and you cannot be a hypocrite and use it and not expect it to be used on you. That being said, Rev. Wright is a much meaner and more racist man than Obama and he has not even begun to fight. If I were Obama I would come clean, apologize, admit EVERYTHING, and offer to step down. If he does this, he might just be somebody....if he does this, and does good work for the next 4-8 years, who knows, he may be President yet. I may even vote for him.

@Mr. Frog

Remember how the story goes, she had to kiss the frog before he became a prince....well, Hillary hasn't kissed him yet you toad.

He CANNOT WIN. He CANNOT WIN. He CANNOT WIN. He CANNOT WIN. No matter how much you want him to he cannot win because of these facts: black, racist, no plan.

And I am not a racist for pointing out the obvious. I am a realist, and a dreamer, and you are just a stinky toad. Ribbit yourself.

Oh, and Hillary will be our next President if there is going to be a Democrat in the White House....

such elitism persists here.....so glad I am a troll

A troll must be someone who stands her ground, states facts, and does not mince words. Sometimes she even dares to use fighting words. But she never backs down.

Obama is a liar, a racist, and a hypocrite. Just because he is black does not make him differnt from Bush, just blacker.

AJ won't ever discuss, just throws around words like baseballs, hoping one will be a home run but instead he just keeps striking out.

Manos is AJ's wingman, standing ever ready to salute anytime the man enters.

Weeping and others seem to write longwinded posts as if the more they write the more we might agree....NOT.

Here is the low down. Maya Angelou supports Hillary Clinton, Obama is OVER, and you have two choices. PLEASE don't make us go Republican....it is in your hands now....

BTW, wonder why Oprah hasn't stood by her man????

@Silash

So it is okay if Rev. Wright hates rich white people? OMG, can you hear what you are saying? And no, Rev. Wright would not thank me. I went to law school in Chicago, and worked with abused children in the south side. I know about Trinity Church-- been there done that. This man does not care for my type, nor do I care for him. The BIG difference is that I do not care for him because he is a BIG FAT RACIST ASSHOLE. He does not care for me because I am a white Jew.

And for those of you defending him as a preacher, may God take pity on you because I want to whoop your ass. GOD WOULD NOT DEFEND this man, so neither should you. LYING to his people, telling them that white america invented AIDS to kill black people this is not God's work, and to say so is truly blasphemy. Alligning with Louis Farrakhan, stating the God was angry so he caused terrorists to attack the world trade towers--this is not preaching THIS IS BULLSHIT. Making people hate one another, pitting one race against the other, this is WHAT HITLER DID.

Obama lied to you good people, and you need to wake up. You are the victim here, and in my opinion you should all demand your money and your hearts back from this man. He has abused your good faith, and this is what I feared. It is better to face this now than later....
