oh but sorry, Bush certainly doesnt have clever rhetoric though does he.

" .... clever ...." you have just hit the nail on the head, Skell! You obviously know Obama pretty well! Plenty of CLEVER words but with little substance or the experience to carry them out. They are great dreams in a world where people are looking with rose-colored glasses. Plenty of people aren't buying the "cleverness" and one can only look forward to more controversies about Obama before this is over. Americans have a right to know! Still, it looks pretty bad when Obama can't even place his hand over his heart while the National Anthem is playing. And sorry, this is not "old" news, it is the CURRENT news of the day that just WON'T go away!

There are days that I don't want to say the pledge of allegiance either. I hate politicians that want to fake their feelings and gloss over reality. Maybe we should change the pledge of allegiance to the "pledge of recession." There's some days I don't even try to fool myself. I just think what the hell happened to my America... it's now the land of ignorant blabber mouth Republican commentators. If McCain's elected you'll need to learn the Iraqi national anthem in preparation for the next hundred years.

Whitey's like you never liked the message. I don't expect things to change now. And, yes of course you're angry. You don't like anything to upset your white sensibilities.

So, there are some laws that discriminate against blacks…show me, I’ll lead the way on having them repealed.

Hello again, DC

Ever heard of crack? Go do some philosophizing on why black people, who predominately use crack, get FIVE TIMES the sentence for the same amount of coke than their white counterparts get, who predominately use powered cocaine.

I’m sure you’ll come up some reason other than racism for the discrepancy.

Why am I not surprised you believe it is another white mans conspiracy to eliminate the Black race in America.

That's as far out as another conspiracy theory I heard… Black activists organized the Sandinista government in Nicaragua in order to get crack cocaine imported to the U.S.
