The issue is not race. The issue is abortion. Obama chose a minority so that if any conservatives complained about her liberal views the liberal media could attack them as being racists.

Obama, we see right through this stuff. It’s just too bad all your liberal supporters are as brainwashed as you are. When it comes to voting I follow a basic rule – never vote for a baby killer. If they’ll support that, they’ll do pretty much anything. I just hope our country survives your presidency. Certainly you will have many lives to account for on the day of judgment. By the way, the “pro life” person you referred to in your Notre Dame speech wasn’t actually prolife because prolifers would not vote for pro-abortion presidents.

If B0 has little love for the black community, there is no evidence of that so far. There are many who think the AA community has been and will continue to be his main focus, after himself. He has SC Rep. James Clyburn (House majority whip) sitting at his elbow in cabinet meetings who would string him up if he thought for one minute 0 would not be continually showing his gratitude for what AA’s have done for him. Whether 0 likes it or not, he WILL fulfill the hopes and dreams of that group to the best of his ability.

I have heard at least two reports today that 0 has no intentions of fighting for imigration reform, so this will be IT – win or lose – for the Hispanic/Latina people. If that in fact is the case, 0 is simply trying to lock up their votes for his re-election. Very sad indeed!

trixta & Senneth – my sentiments completely! To feel compelled or expected to praise this POTUS even when he has appointed a woman is repugnant to me. I will not ever trust anything he does since we will never know what is genuine with him or whether it is the politically expedient thing for him to do. It is ALWAYS about him!

I will support Sotomayor if I can once all the cards (hopefully) are on the table. If I cannot, my criticism will not denigrate her as a woman as Hillary and Sarah Palin were so savagely denigrated. It will be about ideology.

Dana, I agree with you that more is always expected from a woman to pass the test of being considered qualified. Hillary, however, was always able to reach any heights regardless of how high the bar was raised. Not everyone can do that NOR should they be expected to.

I also agree about Sotomayor’s ideology. I will reserve judgement until I am convinced she will be an advocate for all women and not just ethnic or minority women. I agree as well with the men and women here who have said it should be gender and race-free. I do long for the day when justice and fairness for all is a given.

And so perhaps some of those reported comments by Sotomayor’s co-workers aren’t so far off the mark.

portia, it is a day to day thing for me. i do think that as obama screws up more, the moral outrage and the type posters who follow along behind that will wither.
