A REAL TEACHING MOMENT FOR THE CONGO MALE SAVAGES. now if Obama would learn from this and show some godam passion, real passion, as much as he did in protecting his elitist friends' litigious prospects, if he could show that fired up passion Hillary showed in....getting the HealthCare reform passed.... McCafferty had called Hillary "Scolding Mother" when she said to Barack "Shame on you!" for misrepresenting her views on the Harry/Louise brochures to gain some votes he was losing fast...

That's for sure. read what said odinga the criminal war, genocide, etc "saying African countries could learn from Clinton's example when she conceded defeat to Obama during the US presidential primaries. "That is a lesson Africa needs to learn seriously," he said. "In Africa, in many countries, elections are never won, they are only rigged. The losers never accept that they lost.

The last three presidential elections have more in common with third world countries than democracy. In 2000, the SCOTUS appointed Bush in a hearing which never should have been granted. Bush/Cheney began the "Unitary" presidency and Obama is taking it to it's logical conclusion: messiah/monarchical leaders who would throw out the Constitution given enough time.

There were many reports that SoS Clinton was visibly shaken by the horrors that were inflicted on women there. Who knows what was going through her mind at that moment.

I can understand when the media wants to bring down a bad SOS, or other representative, if they think the person is doing a terrible job, but to try and undermine a SOS from the beginning is totally irrational and unamerican. The rest of the world envies America's optimistic and proud image of itself. If the media cannot be proud of its SOS, then they are projecting a weakened image of the US across the world. The rest of the world looks to America to provide guidance of good practise in many areas of business and government. The shocking treatment of Palin and Clinton by the media has undermined the US in these areas, in the eyes of international observers. I hope the mainstream media is dying, because I would go so far as to say that they have become a security threat to the interests of the American people.

I always knew the difference between Obama and Clinton was only biological. Hey, all you Clintonistas:
