• Obama missed the point about Philly and Rocky

  [Read the article: Rocky is not running for president]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  For people who live in Philly ( I spent a good 5 yrs of my adult life there) Rocky is not just an action hero. He is an underdog who tries to overcome long odds and this is the image that

  Philly people believe in. I understood immediately that is what Clinton was pointing to and I am not sure what Obama is going to achieve by saying Rocky is just a movie character. Philly people

  (and many others not living in Philly) are going through bad economic times and they would like to believe that they can overcome the odds.

• Hi Walter you missed two states who have less delegates than Puert Rico

  [Read the article: Bill Clinton's Golden Oldies act]

  They are called Florida and Michigan.

  But, really since US virtually controls these territories,

  I am glad they are having a say in at least election of the Dem nominee.

• May help Obama with ``Catholic'' voters

  [Read the article: A Willie Horton ad for a new generation]

  Much as I hate pigeonholing people, Catholic voters tend to be more against death penalty. So the ad may have a good effect with them.

• Good point, so let us end the primary

  [Read the article: McCain seems awfully happy with Tuesday's results]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  Since Sen. Obama fans are asking so rabidly for Senator Clinton to end her bid, maybe Senator Obama couls lead the way by dropping out of the primary. That will certainly stop the primary season.

  In case, you did not get my point, that was a satirical statement. Asking anybody to not participate in a democratic election is in my opinion violation of the core demcratic principles. And I thought progressives new better.

• Yes Olbermann did say that

  He is becoming increasingly disgusting. Suggesting assasination of a Presidential candidate is not only plain wrong but I think is also a felony.

• Attacking JFK and LBJ?

  [Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  I do understand Rev. Wright's anger about the raw deal that the country has given (and continues to give) to minorities for a long time. But attacking JFK and LBJ is in my opinion far-fetched. I do not understand what he is trying to achieve. While no human being is perfect, I do believe that those two individuals did more than what a ``typical'' white person would do for

  minorities. I mean progress is usually slow and whatever comes along should have been appluaded.

  As for the difference in location of brains, thanks Rev. Wright. Those of us who have been arguing for decades that human beings are equal have just realized that there are more people to be educated.

• How about using Sen. Clyburn's trick?

  [Read the article: What should Obama do about Rev. Jeremiah Wright?]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  And blame Bill Clinton for Rev. Wright. Am sure he can make it

  work somehow.
