They speak for themselves. Many of Obama's supporters are Hillary haters and throw their bile at her and her supporters for their mere existence. In danger of becoming "a cult of personality." Do you think? Slack jawed and misty-eyed, like virgins about to be taken with "You know I love you," their blind love for the man (who is who he says he is because he says so) is matched only with their emotional attacks on any one who dare challenges the object of their affection. Wow, it's staring to look like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Or, wait, am I a racist or simply a nay sayer who is against hope and change? Okay Obamaites, ready, set, pile on!

I see Hhatchet didn't actually read Krugman's article, or if he did, he has problems processing information. As for the rest of the readers who betrayed their true reactionary natures and chose to address Mr. Krugman's thoughtful concerns and observations with yet more tired, and I mean tired, slander of the Clintons and Krugman (one of the few journalists to buck the Obama propaganda churn), you all are pawns, and once again I am chilled by just how easy Americans are "played." Karl Rove must be drinking champagne and laughing out loud.

All the name-calling and bitter accusations leveled by the Obama campaign and its surrogates demonstrate the kind of divisiveness that causes people to be murdered in other countries when an election doesn't go a certain way. This Obama-mania is getting to be scary, and as Krugman points out, the media lynch mob that follows the Clintons around like Britney paparazzi is only fanning the flames. The sexist/mysognist angle is particularly worrisome, something that was discussed today on The View. Moroever, a biased media operating on Karl Rove talking points prevents a thorough airing of Barack's record in Illinois BEFORE the Democratic nominee is decided. Right now Democrats don't realize how vulnerable he is to swiftboat attacks in the fall. His long-time fundraiser, Tony Rezko, is going on trial soon for multiple felonies, along with other defendants who contributed to Barack's presidential campaign early on. These are not minor, "bone-headed" mistakes, either, but a 12-year stint of quid pro quo with a paper trail that wraps around the planet. In addition, Barack's speechwriter Ben Rhodes is the brother of a VP at Fox News, David Rhodes, who runs the news division there. Karl Rove has already collaborated with Fox to throw the last two elections - are we going to let him throw a third? For more on the Rove strategy and G.O.P. links to the Obama campaign, see the article I've posted at thecityedition.com.

Check out the DM piece Obama used in California attacking universal health care and Clinton. It came out just after Obama screwed on TV and said he'd have to fine people that were uninsured and made health care claims (to fix that gap in his non-plan), so he attacked Clinton's plan for fining people, which it doesn't. If this isn't Nixonian what is?

Year after year white people like Krugman have elected people that they felt they could have "a beer with."

Find me the article where Krugman advocated that.

It is amazing to me how people like Krugman are trying to project their own motives and attitudes onto Obama and his supporters.

Year after year white people like Krugman have elected people that they felt they could have "a beer with." The job interview for President was never based on who was best qualified but who has the most money, political power,pedigree and color. Black folks and many whites were always left to picking the "best of two evils."

Like Babe Ruth not playing against the best players of his day but being crowned the best, white people just can't believe that a black man can play on their level. Krugman and his elite media friends sound like broken records when it comes to black folk. The first thing they do is question the competence of black people even in the face of overwhelming evidence of the sheer brilliance of the person (Obama).

Billy Packard a sports announcer would always say how bright white players were but said that blacks played on talent and instinct. The black athlete does not think he/she is just a naturally athletic. Krugman the play-by-play announcer of politics is just saying the same thing. Sen. Obama is not thinking, and his supporters are not thinking. They are just impressed with his rethoric and color.

Black people don't vote their interest. Blacks are not thinking pragmatically we are voting personality. Voting pragmatically got us Clinton and his disasterous crime bill that put thousands of young black boys in jail for years. Voting pragmatically got us Clinton and NAFTA that gave us low paying entry level jobs. Those entry level jobs were the first ones to go over seas and elimanated when a reccession hits.

Black folks have always used their best judgement and tried to vote in our best interest for years and look where it got us. All of a sudden when Barack's followers don't vote for the white person we are not thinking we are voting for the personality.

It was black folks thinking that forced this country to open access to everyone. Thurgood Marshall went into the courtroom and beat the white lawyers at their own game. Black folks thinking showed the world what it truly meant to be Christian. Our non-violent civil disobeidence showed the world how to turn the other cheek and love the hell out of enemy. Black folks are thinking people and our thinking and intellect has enable us to over come all the lies,abuse and Krugman's of this world.

Now we see black man bringing those same principles, charecter and integrity that transformed this nation to the most powerful position in the world and we are voting for it.

Obama's foundation of integrity and principl are the bases for good sound policies.

Krugman and others like him fell for the lies of Bush and the war on terror. A young black man name Obama did not. That was sound judgement. Obama knows that giving away health care is not good exchange for the moral and esteem of people. The work ethic gives people purpose. He believes we must make it affordable. Give people the tools for making a good living and they will choose good options. His plan of bring troops home and using money we are spending in Iraq on building our infrastructure is sound economics. He has placed good policy makers around. I don't think people like Warren Buffet would endorse and fool.

I remember when blacks first really started to take over the NBA and ABA. White referees could not beleive the things those athletes were doing. They would call fouls because they could not beleive that black men could jump so high,manuver their bodies and get a rebound without touching someone. Their experience/world view distorted and blinded them to the greatness they were actually seeing. The political refs like Krugman just can't believe a black man can do what he is doing. So they have to cry foul. It is not the Obama campaign that vergers on a cult of personality it is the status quo who can't get past their "experience" to see greatness.
