As for money, if everyone would send me a month's salary or so I'd see what kind of good I could do with it :D

You make a good point. Maybe all the undocumented are going against her as a result of such a statement.

Contrary to popular belief the undocumented are allowed to vote. Don't ask me how, but they do.

George, you sound like you're afraid that a black guy might actually have a good set of brains and actually might do a decent job running this country.

Assuming you were born in 1950, I'd guess that you're daddy and grand daddy hated "N*****S" too.

That may be your opinion, but not mine. Prove it.

What is your opinion as to why a black person and a female are being allowed to run for president?

Are people being less prejudice these days?

Or would they like to get a black person or a female in there to clean up the mess in Iran?

I keep up very little with politics or current events and am very naïve? So I came to this forum hoping to find some opinions

I'm too gutless to start a new thread on a subject that I think is very sensitive

Any U.S. citizen can run for president. Granted you need some clout and a whole lot of money.

Obama is a very intelligent man. He's young and has a lot of fresh ideas, and basically wants both the liberals and conservatives to work together.

Hillary has been in politics forever and comes from a very politically involved family. But, if her hubby had never been president she wouldn't stand a chance. People love familiarity.

As far as predjudice? I think people are becoming more tolerant of other races. Its definitely a virtue these days. To me its seems, at least where I live, that the older you are the more racist you are. Most people that were around during the 50s and 60s still have a hard time accepting people of color. Hell, back in the 20's being a member of the KKK was normal. Something like 1 out of every 10 white males were members.

I think people are slowly realizing that racism is ignorance, plain and simple. I even used to have a lot of racist feelings when I was younger, but as I got to know a lot of mexicans, blacks, etc. on a personal basis whether it was at school or work, the more I realized they are fundamentally no different.

Adults do, and it's my belief that they will choose to have health care if it is affordable. Now, that's a perfectly legitimate policy difference for us to have. That is different from saying that I will refuse to cover or leave out a bunch of individuals."

In her response, Hillary should have looked into the camera, smiled, and said, 'Why Senator, you sound just like George Bush."

A defining moment lost by Her Majesty.

Actually, that would have probably scared some people.

And then Obama would have said, "Oh, you mean the way you sounded when you were campaigning in Texas the other week?"

How can Hilary rule over the U.S. if she can't even control Bill?

Come on, watcha got! I got all day!

I think hillary's still pissed that she can't get Slick Will to use the old cigar trick on her. And I don't blame him.

Thanks guys for the feedback to my questions. I really appreciate your answers.

I'm not around younger folks much so I don't know what is going on with regards to racism.

I personally get the feeling that Obama is a fair person and cares about people.

Caring is lacking so much right now.

Just my feelings that's all. No facts.

Thanks again.
