I could never run for president or be First Gentleman because I'd probably put a bit more emphasis on the indigenous population than Michelle Obama might put on the black population.
Nope, but that was not the question that you have not answered was it?QuoteDo you think the views that Bush & Cheney have reflect positively on our country ?
According to whom, you?QuoteOr the views of a madwoman from Alaska who can't wait to go to war with Russia before she's even (hopefull never) elected ?
I am against anyone that will put any race above all others "and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost".QuoteOr are you just upset to see in print what's on the minds of a lot of educated black women in their younger idealistic years ?

It's a BA thesis for goodness sakes. Written by a 21 year old just 2 decades after most blacks were grudgingly (and at the cost of many of their lives) given the right to vote.
Would YOU like to be held accountable for the all the things YOU said and did when you were 21?
You really are running scared.

John McCain has proven he puts his country first. Has Barack???
there are several million people who put their country first -- including both candidates.
This is a largely trivial necessary condition -- but very far from a sufficient one for being an effective chief executive.

Thanks for the sobering consideration.
I damn sure better be held accountable if I were going to be in the white house. As I said before, if Michelle’s thesis was the only thing then maybe I could buy it, but with the "I am finally proud to be an American" and going to Rev. Wright's church for 20 years, it only reinforces my concern.QuoteWould YOU like to be held accountable for the all the things YOU said and did when you were 21?
Absolutely, as I have said in other post the thought of Obama as our commander in chief scares the hell out of me.QuoteYou really are running scared.
My Dad's doctor friends believe that given McCain's age, his cancer history, his Vietnam history, and his ancestry ( Irish don't take sun so well), it is quite likely that he might kick the bucket during his first term if he is elected, and the we'd get this un-experienced & creationist evangelist as our president.
Did you like the last 8 years???
Well, welcome to a more hardcore, religious-fundamentalist version of the same!!

Actually, as dumb as GWB is, I'm not sure he didn't know that if a NATO country is attacked, the US is obligated to respond.
Sarah Palin, in her first actual and unscripted interview since becoming the VP nominee, the one done by softball pitcher for ABC, Charlie Gibson, didn't realize this not too subtle point of international relations.
Yet, she maintains she's willing to step into the Oval Office and take a seat if anything should happen to McCain.
It is nice to see her back peddling on somethings though, like, all that talk about the war in Iraq being God's will. She tried to explain it away as quoting Lincoln, but if that's true, she certainly did butcher the quote. In fact, what she said sounds nothing like the quote she says she was trying to use at all.

Yeap, I would say that was a pretty accurate assessment.
Now pardon me while I go have another rum runner for agreeing with you.

Who do I want as a first lady? Ideally, Val Long. She'd keep any president on his toes and inject some common sense into politics. Barring that, I'd take Michelle Obama over Cindy McCain (and especially over Todd Palin.)

Did you also realize that she didn't seem to want to answer if she agreed with "The Bush Doctrine" as well... First she didn't seem to know what it meant, then when Gibson educated her she didn't respond with an answer.

Not only Palin should answer this question, but all the candidates as well.

QuoteQuoteA quote from Michelle Obama's thesis:
"There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost."
Last time I checked, the word "was" indicated past tense.
Blues,
Dave
And the last time *I* looked, "am" and "will" indicate present tense, not to mention the phrase "present and future resources" - your point being?
I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Why are you Republicans so desperate that you have to resort to attacking someone's spouse?
Do a search for the terms Laura Bush, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan and tell me who the people posting about them are.

QuoteI hear she's going to reactivate that secret tunnel that Jack Kennedy had built between the White House and the Vatican.
Ah, but you're probably right. She's a Negro first, and an American maybe second.
By her own admission!
But, I think you have the terminology wrong; they prefer to refer to themselves as "nigga."

Believe me. I saw two black women and a hispanic one all calling each other "nigga" on line at Walmart last night. Swear.

I just read a thread about Republicans and racism, is this an example?
Also, aren't you the guy that refused to further address my post due to me hurting your feelings with stuff like this? Good to see you've changed.
