So Obama comes crawling to the Clintons for help

NEW YORK - Barack Obama revealed Wednesday that former President Clinton, once the presidential nominee's nemesis, will campaign for him during the weeks leading up to Election Day.

I can't believe Obama has the audacity to ask Bill for help after smearing him a racist. It really shows Obama's lack of character and respect for other people. Obama only does things that helps Obama.

Bill your a bigger man than I am, I would have told Obama to go fuck himself.

PS...to Hillary regarding the '12 election, do not count on any support from the black community. During Bill Clinton's presidency he spent billions of dollars creating urban empowerment zones.

In 1994, he sent troops into Haiti to prop up the administration of duly elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Bill Clinton had many blacks in major positions in the White House. The chief of White House personnel, his budget director, his director of public outreach, his deputy chief of staff were all African-American. His liaison between the White House and the Congress -- Thurgood Marshall's son -- was African-American.

Then a completely unknown (outside of Illinois) black junior senator runs against Hillary and instantly receives 90% of the black vote.....a purely racist act.

PPS...Thank you to the 10% of black voters who were able to look past skin color and vote for someone based on their experience and qualifications.

Kind of like Rev. "God Damn America" Wright and

Rev. Donnie McClurkin who said he's "in a war with homosexuality" and anti semitic pastor Hezekiah Walker....both featured in Obama's hate tour through the American south earlier this year.

"My heart sort of runs with McCain and my mind probably tends to run toward Obama,"

said David Scorup, 58, a county government official in Othello, Wash., who said he is leaning toward McCain. "I think I resonate more with McCain."

John McCain has taken a modest lead over Barack Obama entering the final seven weeks of their presidential contest, buoyed by decisive advantages among suburban and working-class whites and a huge edge in how people rate each candidate's experience, a poll showed Friday.

No wonder he is a former governor

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is viewed favorably by 72% of voters in her home state, including 56% who hold a Very Favorable opinion of her.

So he will smear McCain as a racist

when?

Thank you Gorgona, I couldn't agree more

Racism is definitely a 2 way street.

During Bill Clinton's presidency he spent billions of dollars creating urban empowerment zones.

In 1994, he sent troops into Haiti to prop up the administration of duly elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Bill Clinton had many blacks in major positions in the White House. The chief of White House personnel, his budget director, his director of public outreach, his deputy chief of staff were all African-American. His liaison between the White House and the Congress -- Thurgood Marshall's son -- was African-American.

Then a completely unknown (outside of Illinois) black junior senator runs against Hillary and instantly receives 90% of the black vote.....a purely racist act.

The two faces of Barack Obama

He pledged to run a "different" kind of campaign but smeared Hillary and Bill instead.

He pledged to use public financing before the campaign but now says he never made that promise and is using private money.

He pledged to bring the troops home almost immediately but now wants to delay that.

He pledged to block off shore driling but is now in favor of it.

He pledged to rescind Bush's tax cuts but now says he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.

Oh it's not so hard to handicap

Whatever made the delegates think that the majority of white people would vote for a black candidate with a Muslim name???

Oh yeah, the millions Obama "donated" to their PACs.

"I've got a lot of friends ... (who) are like, 'Oh, no'" when it comes to voting for a black presidential candidate, said John Martin, a 42-year-old Democrat from Macomb County's Harrison Township who backs Obama. "They're all working people, all in unions, plumbers and stuff like that. ... A few of them have said they're not even going to vote."

It's an especially potent issue in southeast Michigan, where mostly black Detroit is surrounded by mostly white suburbs in western Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties. The metropolitan area, among the nation's most segregated, just went through a steamy text-messaging scandal that ended in Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick resigning in a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to two obstruction of justice charges and no contest to assault.

Although Detroit residents — more than 80 percent of them are black — are expected to turn out in record numbers for Obama, the black mayor's troubles have created a cynicism among many suburban voters that could hurt Obama.

Freedom's Defense Fund, a Washington-based group that opposes Obama, is spending $25,000 to run an ad on cable news channels in Macomb County that shows Obama praising Kilpatrick last year before the mayor's legal troubles began.

"I think he is running on his judgment, and we think it's pretty poor in this instance," said the group's executive director, Todd Zirkle.

Overall, the race is a dead heat in Michigan, the poll showed.

Let's see, Biden is a Catholic

What does the Catholic church say about homosexuality???

I think it's far to say no other organization on this planet has spent more time and money discriminating against the gay community than the Catholic church.
