'Why do people keep bringing up how boring Sebilius is?'



Because we are entitled to or opinion

Ed Rendel ...."is Jewish" WTF - what does that have to do with the price of eggs?



I'm offended by him saying no white man in PA would vote for Obama, aside from that, he would have been perfect IMO.

No to Rendell and Bayh. Absoltely not!


I like Webb, Biden and McCaskill.



Sebilius may have political clout, but she is more boring than McCain.

Good for him.


How does race factor its way into every conversation that we have lately?



This is not a race issue, this about the privacy and rights of everyone.



I'm all raced out!

Ombacans Trouble for McCain

Obama Leading

I don't know how he did it. I saw him humble himself time after time.


I can imagine what he told those &*($%# +*&!@ in that meeting but I'm sure he told them they could get behind them or get gone. I don't blame him, I wouldn't have kissed their asses either.



Ya mad - get over it.



I'm sure they know they will have no place in an Obama whitehouse.

"Let them cling to their guns, vote for McCain and remain in hell."


I agree.

Truth


I noticed that a few months ago.

B-serious


Dead on. There is a distinct difference between person and the people.

There is a gentleman on Morning Joe who during a discussion about N. Korea turning over nuclear program information who shut Scarborough down about negotiating with Iran. He stopped all the loud talking and interuptions to make the point that if it could be done with N. Korea, it could be attempted with Iran.


He went further to say that there would be no peace or stabilization of a government in Iraq without the cooperation of Iran.



He must have been someone that Joe respected because Joe conceded his point.



Then Romney came on talking about the need for fuel efficent cars and how McCain's whitehouse would work toward that goal.



Now correct me if I'm wrong, every position or idea that Obama has it is stolen by first Clinton and now McCain all the while the media is pushing meaningless stories about his race, Michelle and any other nonsense that they can come up with.



The other thing I've noticed is that whenever an Obama surrogate (who is black) is interviewed by the likes of Scarborough and Matthews, they aren't taken seriously at all. It seems they are interupted and talked over and not allow to make their points and then dismissed with laughter.

Time Article on Patriotism - Obama:


A Faith in Simple Dreams

By Barack Obama



When I was a child, I lived overseas for a time with my mother. And one of my earliest memories is of her reading to me the first lines of the Declaration of Independence, explaining how its ideas applied to every American, black and white and brown alike. She taught me that those words, and the words of the United States Constitution, protected us from the brutal injustices we witnessed other people suffer during those years abroad.



I've been reminded of this recently as I've followed the brutal injustice surrounding Zimbabwe's so-called elections. For weeks, the opposition party and its supporters have been silently hunted, tortured and killed. They have been dragged from their homes in the middle of the night and strangled while their children watched. The wife of a newly elected mayor was so badly beaten that her own brother only recognized her by the skirt she wore on the day she was killed. Even voters suspected of disloyalty to the President have been herded together and thrashed for hours, all for the simple crime of casting their ballot.



We are a nation of strong and varied convictions and beliefs. We argue and debate our differences vigorously and often. But when all is said and done, we still come together as one people and pledge our allegiance not just to a place on a map or a certain leader but to the words my mother read to me years ago: "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."



That is the true genius of America — a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles. It's the idea that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution; and that our votes will be counted.



For me, it is the love and defense of these ideals that constitutes the true meaning of patriotism. They are ideals that do not belong to any particular party or group of people but call each of us to service and sacrifice for the sake of our common good.



I write this knowing that if previous generations had not taken up this call, I would not be where I am today. As a young man of mixed race, without a firm anchor in any community, without even a father's steadying hand, this essential American ideal — that our destinies are not written before we are born — has defined my life. And it is the source of my profound love for this country: because with a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya, I know that stories like mine could only happen in America.

Maybe the guy who was trying to explain away his stone agedness might see it.

His ears appear to be a little smaller too.

Some call it "politics", some call if fake.

"Affirmative action run amok"? When it comes to elections, there is no action more affirmative than receiving a majority of votes...which Obama did."


Nuff said!

'I mean, if it scares you to think of my dear sweet Aunt Myrtle planning innovative strategies employing new technology for energy independence, national security and defense, climate change, healthcare, net neutrality, etc, then McCain should probably kinda scare you too.'


Yep, definitely.

Bill and Hill weren't fresh; Bill was really used and I don't think there's any comparison between the couples other than the fact that they are Democrats.

That is so funny. He probably is experiencing the feelings of rejection. Too bad, so am I.

Shaq is a hater. He hates that he's not Kobe.

"Although, maybe if Obama was brought up "black" his wife would be light skinned or white. So if he's "white", he's got great taste in pursuing and marrying Michelle."




Ain't that the truth.

Bush is a colossal embarrasment.

I can't wait to see how you defend this one:



Bush To Filipino President: "I Am Reminded Of The Great Talent Of The -- Of Our Philippine-Americans When I Eat Dinner At The White House"





Maybe you'll call it Bush bashing.

Symphony


Of course not, but then he wouldn't be a candidate for the presidency and it really wouldn't matter!

"....it's easy to yell down someone, but to actually have to present facts to prove your case takes a bit more skill."





Skills of which you have yet to display.
