Also voting for Barack I don’t expect him to make changes just for me as a black person. Let’s face it if he wins he’s got a lot of cleaning up to do behind Bush and more than likely it won’t happen in 4 years. I only expect change. Between gas prices/grocery prices/education/health care any change at this point would be wonderful.

I feel you on that. There is going to be a whole hellof cleaning up to do in the White House. I can’t believe that my grocery bill for 2 ppl is still the same price as it was when there were 5 ppl in the household.

I think there is a line and he’s crossed it. Michelle offers her opinion as a spouse and supporter not as a running mate unlike Bill.

@ PAHairston
I was referring to his grandmother, not his mother. Barack mentioned in his Philadelphia speech on Race, that his grandmother would say things about Black men that made him cringe.

@ Anna I did read those comments. I don’t know how true that statement was about Hillary consulting with Rev. Wright after Monica Lewinsky. But throughout the history of the White House, prominent religious leaders are always invited to meet/dine there, most times with the President.

This is why I have a problem with the Obamas.

Billy Graham said a lot of things that could come off as offensive or that the majority would not agree. He was spiritual advisor to about 12 or so Presidents.

So why must Obama denounce this man, disown this man just so he can have a chance of being President? If that’s not n**ger treatment I don’t know what it is.

Barack called Rev. Wright’s statements ridiculous. What was so ridiculous? Why is this Rev. being betrayed as bitter and out of touch by so many of his own people?

Why are we so amped to have an African-American in the White House? Especially one that will disown the Black Community if it poses a threat to his campaign and one who takes our votes for granted.

Barack Obama is a politician, its time we treat him as such.

I’m not saying don’t vote for him or support him, but a lot of people are expecting him to really make a difference and move mountains.

There is really no difference between Obama, Clinton, or McCain ~ They are all ready and willing to do whatever it takes to get your vote.

Most white Americans don’t really know what racism is. Racism is power, an institution, a system. Black Americans can be prejudiced against others but not racist. Racism in AMERICA is white supremacy, clear and simple. (If you’re white, you’re right.) As always, I leave you in peace.

He needs to take a back seat, sit in it and zip it.

I also think Michelle should speak about her man. I don’t think she’s giving the air of trying to run for VP. I think she’s just speaking her opinion with regards to her husband and his campaign. Now Bill on the other hand definately needs to sit down and shut it. He’s made so many hateful and unuseful comments in the last 6 months it’s just ridiculous. Most people voting for Hillary are doing so as a way to get Bill back in the White House. Well Bill isn’t running for President his wife is. The more Bill speaks publicly the more he’s shoving his foot down his throat in my opinion and making the country see what an ass he really can be.

I believe it is definately time for a change. We go from Bush to Clinton back to Bush and now possibly back to Clinton. GIVE ME A BREAK!!

Side note: Did anyone notice Hillary bit Obamas campaign. I saw something on the news where she lifted her arm and sayed “Yes we will” my mouth fell open.

I will also add that Rev Wright knew that if Barack was going to run for president that he would have to eventually severe ties with him. This was a dicussion they had back in early 2007.
