However, now it appears that you have claimed Michelle Obama went on a rant about "Whitey" w/out any video to back it up? I think that is really low and I am truly upset you did that. I think the press was unfair to Hillary but you're doing the same thing to Michelle Obama. So not cool. Larry, I have been a huge fan of yours ever since the Plame thing started.

Of course, it will all be Hillary's fault. I had a horrible thought yesterday, that on May 20 Obama will declare victory and MSNBC and CNN will report it as if it's news.

Neither state was a fair contest. Hillary agreed with the party sanctions, back then. Now she wants to(and has) convince you that they must be counted or else the nomination has been stolen. What's changed? She's losing, that's what. The parties in those states broke the rules KNOWINGLY. Neither state was a fair contest. Hillary agreed with the party sanctions, back then.

There are photographs shown as well. Odinga also claims to be Obama's cousin though I'm not sure if it's the same cousin relationship as perceived in the US. Anyway supposedly Odinga (muslim) made a deal with Islamic Jihadists to invoke Sharia law if he was elected. Odinga wasn't elected and his followers rioted and murdered people (many were Christians and some were burnt in a church). This happened in Dec 07, Jan 08 timeframe. Interestingly Dick Morris also went to Kenya to help Odinga with his campaign supposedly at the request of Obama. Dick Morris is a former Clinton advisor (for Bill not Hillary) and he is on Fox News and now a huge Hillary basher. Now this type of story could have interesting ramifications for Obama if it can be proven true. I would personally like to know more about this.

Unfortunately he has fallen into areas that have nothing to do with his line of expertise. Apparently he(you) think that McCain loves America ,and Obama - HIS MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSEIN, OMG!! - hates it. I pray that the scales may fall from your eyes. FYI : It's no secret , or maybe it is, that Hillary 'involved' herself with the defense of the Black Panthers in the way back.

Better yet they attack the guy who is winning by the rules and thowing flags on the ground crying foul. You gotta love America you can't win for winning.

It is a deeply important part of the national identity and has been used for political gain by BO and his ilk. BO has <em>so many</em> chances to really move this forward in a positive way, only to fail in all respects. I can only speak for myself in saying that I do not avoid discussing race relations. I have witnessed race riots as a kid growing up. It IS a real problem. I can not for the life of me understand why BO does not care for the AA community. Did he take time to show up at MLK or New Orleans? Even if it was not the best move for his campaign, it was the right thing to do. Thank you for your honesty over these last months. mimi; I am so angry about this set back.
