Christina Fernandez de Kirchner was elected President of Argentina in October 2007
Is Christina Fernandez de Kirchner a "Latina"? Please would somebody who know about thes "pedigrees" or whatever is the accepted word in the USA answer this question. In the English-speaking world there is South America?Latin America (as Spanish is a Latinate language) and, therefore, Argentina is part of that hemisphere. I mistakenly referred to Joan Walsh in an earlier post when it should have been Richard Rodriguez. Anyway, this labelling of people seems atrocious and there's no sign that it's going to stop any time soon so my guess is that some well-heeled people are making money out of it. This is not a dog-show where various breeds are on display from the large canine, the Great Dane, to the tiny Chihuahua. I would love each, regardless of their origins, but those Americans caught up in all this crazy kerfuffle seem ben on committing natioan suicide while countries like China and India leave you on the economic sidelines. I'm sorry.

Obama is already the "Chosen One" by the Corporate Media & Republicans!
In my opinion, Obama is a closet Republican and is acting as a Republican Trojan Horse in the bowels of the Democratic machinery and sneaking in the back door. Just like Joe Lieberman did when he ran for Vice President with Al Gore which lost the election for the Democrats in 2000. Shortly after, Lieberman started to show his true colors by becoming an “Independent” that very obviously sides with the Republicans and is also currently campaigning for John McCain, a Republican Presidential Candidate and also the front runner! This also happened with John Kerry who was a Yale Skulls N’ Bones member along with George W. Bush whom we all know about! He also voted to authorize the Iraq war and was unapologetic until he ran for President in 2004 which also lost the election for the Democrats in 2004 due to flip flop swift boating. John Kerry is also endorsing none other than the “chosen one,” Barack Obama.
This is exactly why Obama has become the “chosen one.” Since the Democratic party is almost guaranteed to win no matter who is nominated, the Republicans need a strategy to beat them. The Republican’s have a “chosen one” on the inside of the Democratic Party to try to insure the Republican’s can attack the core Democratic Party represented by the Clintons from inside and the outside! The Republican’s intent is to play on the emotions and issues that drive the core Democratic Party such as ending the war, democracy and equality for all.
Definition of Democrat-with equal participation by all; characterized by free and equal participation in government or in the decision-making processes of an organization or group.
Real Democrats who really care about democracy, freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all of the people of America and the world! All classes, all races, all ages, both genders! We believe in equality for all, not just ourselves and how we feel at this moment craving instant gratification or fulfills our own selfish political agenda!
Obama goes against everything the Democratic Party and base stands for! He is a Republican disguised as a Democrat. He is creating and promoting nothing but divide, hate and an unforgiving attitude against the Clinton’s within the Democratic base using polarizing statements, going along with propaganda, and mimicking the Republicans which they are hoping will insure the Republicans remain in power! This is also why known Republicans in the media like Joe Scarborough of MSNBC pushes all of the Obama “fever” on to the masses knowing very well he would never vote for Obama at any time or another! Corporate media is also trying to be “The Deciders!” Do not let the ones with their own agendas be the one to decide the leader of our country for us! Haven’t we learned by now?
Divide and Conquer!
That is what they mean by saying Barack Obama is “Brilliant!” He is a brilliant manipulator!
That is it!
The true Democratic Party would never turn on their own the way Barack and Michelle Obama have! They claim to inspire but yet they say they will not support or encourage his supporters to vote for Hillary Clinton if she becomes the nominee. Barack Obama also said he will have a dump truck full of ammunition that he will be happy to give the Republicans to use against her making sure she does not win!
Wake up America! Do not be fooled!
Obama is the “fools gold” of the Gold Rush!

Obama is Karl Rove's trojan horse and Latinos aren't buying the hype
"The first Latina in Chief"? Progressive blogs appear to be losing all touch with reality. Perhaps the reason the upside-down intellectualizing has reached record lows is because no one frankly knows who Barack Obama is. Like a juicey worm that suddenly appears in a river, leftists are diving for this man with the unusal name and lineage, unaware that the bait contains a hook, and the line attached to the hook has been cast by Karl Rove. Obama, the $100 million candidate who appeared out of nowhere, is Rove's ticket to undermining this election. He knew Hillary was coming down the pike eight years ago and mapped out his strategy carefully. Look back at the bizarre U.S. senate election in 2004 in Illinois and you'll see how this Madison Avenue product marketing campaign got started. (For more on this, check out the article I've posted at thecityedition.com.) Latinos see this election for what it is and are not buying into the hype surrounding the newcomer. Give them credit for taking our deteriorating economy and perpetual warmongering seriously enough to turn out on behalf of Clinton, while the rest of us continue to be bamboozled.

You should read "Dreams from my father." Seriously, great book, It might help you, too.

Once again
Most Hispanics would understand Barack Obama if he came to us, not as an African-American but, like us, as a person of confused bloodlines.
African Americans are mixed! Why can people, including Latinos, not wrap this fact around their heads? To call yourself black is to call yourself mixed and that's a fact.

The TRUTH about Hillary's Universal Healthcare Vs. Obama's HealthCare Plan
With Obama's healthcare plan, he is ASSUMING that the cost of insurance will drop to an affordable enough rate, therefore we all should be able to afford it. Then he says, if you do not have insurance once it has gone to an affordable price, and you show up in the emergency room, you will be charged a premium or penalty. It is at that time when you will be mandated to get insurance or face the same consequences of either not being seen in the ER or being forced to get insurance, or show up in the ER and be penalized!
That is a Republican method of healthcare. They say you get free healthcare by showing up at the county ER, which is true, but that is passed on to the property taxes. We all know how outrageous those taxes are!
So we are going to have the same problem with Obama's healthcare plan, except the poor people and middle class who cannot afford insurance, will be forced to pay for it either way. That is going to cause a huge problem, not solve the ones already in place.
With Hillary's universal healthcare plan, we all as Americans participate in paying for it which
A) Insures that the cost of insurance premiums go down because it will be all Americans insured. More volume=less cost!
B) She is also placing a cap on premiums
C) If you are not satisfied with those choices, then she is also opening up the same insurance offered to Congress! If you are satisfied with your current insurance, if you are blessed enough to have it, then you can keep it! The only difference is it will be cheaper because of the increase in the volume of co-pays for ALL Americans to be covered.
D) If you cannot afford the premiums, then she will provide a tax subsidy which is what is offered to the poor at this time anyway, except they are not insured.
She does NOT promote penalizing or fining those who do not or cannot get insurance. There will be no need to because ALL AMERICANS WILL BE INSURED! Not like Obama's plan that leaves it up to the Americans to fight it out with the insurance companies, get nowhere, and then be penalized because you have to show up at the ER anyway. We all know that if it is left to the insurance companies and the un-insured to fight it out, guess who will come out on the losing end and the profit end? The insurance companies love the idea of making an even bigger profit knowing that they either have to pay for it or wait until we show up at the ER and get hit with a penalty and premium!
Think about it people! If you have ever dealt with illness, this is VERY IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT VERY SERIOUSLY!
Right now the property owners and the ones who do have health insurance are the ones paying for all of the ones who do not have insurance, so those costs will be reduced for those that are currently carrying the burden.
