[I still care]

Another freeper said that the reason Obama waited overnight was to wait for the overnight polls to come in.

Another freeper said her family in NC did, indeed, get a poll caller asking them on this.

If this is as rare as Juan Williams thinks it is, then Obama wouldn’t have been worried so much about distancing himself from it.

Sorry, I’m not buying it. I think this speech was given with Obama’s full knowledge, and he already had his denunciation speech ready to go.

I don't think he's going to solve his "pastor problem"...he let it fester too long before applying his "band aid".

It's very hard to put the toothpaste back in to the tube, and all of the whining by michelle obama is not going to make America "put it all behind us" as she would like...hell, she's as much of a racist as the "good reverend" is anyway.

I think the MSM and liberal elites (but I repeat myself) should stop the childish game of "it's his turn", and start paying attention to the issues facing us, in a real and adult manner.

It is not a black persons "turn" to be President, it's called an "election" because the people get to decide who is best to watch over their collective asses for the next four years.

The libs and MSM want to take the royalty approach and "Appoint", not elect, the next leader.

Remember the old adage about "getting the camel's nose under the tent, and the rest will soon follow...", well my friends, if the MSM and liberals get away with putting someone in office just because they are black, or female, then that is the precedent that will be followed from now until doomsday in America...which won't be far off under a "socially selective presidency".

A carnival hustler does no more qualify to be a brain surgeon than a 2-year senator or a former first lady qualify to be president.

It's time for the adults to step up and take the country back, or there won't be a country to take back. Maturity is what it takes to forsee and fix problems before they turn into nightmares...well, the nightmares are already here.

Obama's danger is being perceived by white voters as representing a hostile separate culture.

True. But it's not black culture, per se, that's the problem. The hostile culture is rich left-wing elitists, regardless of color.

The only difference between radicals like Ayers and Wright is style--not substance. Both represent a radical, hostile, separate culture from normal Americans. The reason they loved him so much is that they knew where he was from. But they thought his rhetorical skills would fool the general public as he was so good at concealing his radicalism. May still turn out they were right. It's a long time to November.
