Obama is the man and America is ready for him.

Wow. Just, wow. ... ( 3 months ago by takebackamericanow)

Wow. Just, wow. Excellent video. Obama is the once-in-a-lifetime leader this country needs right now. I hope and pray every day that this country can come together and elect Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States of America!

you know community ... ( 3 months ago by hawkdown12)

you know community organizer is one of the MOST UNDER-appreciated job in America, who cares huh?
I ask people to question their judgement about Obama, what kind of an Anti-semitic, Muslim extremist will help the people get jobs, registered to vote instead of workig in big law firm and make a lot of money??

You know what? ... ( 3 months ago by mike50333)

You know what? Most of us are sick and tired of the Wright "controversy" that you Hilary supporters and Republican Talk Show hosts are trying to keep going. We're past that crap. Let me tell you something, his approval rating has actually increased slightly since this thing blew up, while Clinton's approval rating is taking a swift dip. I wouldn't be surprised if she was behind this "leak". The argument is null and void. The fact that you all are keeping it alive is just hurting Hillary.

You know what? ... ( 3 months ago by mike50333)

You know what? With that Grassroots thing, we may actually help to save money on having to pay him. That could mean more money in the National coffers for organizational use. This man is truly genius!

They did between ... ( 3 months ago by mike50333)

They did between 1920-1950s (at least). It was used to keep Black Americans from voting. Is that the sort of test that you're referring to?

This is why we will win. Don't watch the video. Just post something about Wright while we do what is depicted in this video. Thanks.

THAT tax returns ... ( 3 months ago by beerandwine)

THAT tax returns released by the Barack Obama presidential campaign show Obama and his wife Michelle gave less than 1 percent of their total $1.2 million income to charity from 2000 through 2004.The total for the four years was $10,770, "a lowball figure compared to other politicians," the New York Post reported in a story headlined "Those Stingy Obamas."

thesky, I agree; if ... ( 3 months ago by peepeepoopy)

thesky, I agree; if white liberals think its hard to find jobs now just wait till obama reinforces affirmative action so african Americans get job left and right over well educated liberals that have real educations not from an all black college where they hand out bling bling degrees. Just ask Hillary what its like to help african Amerians to have rights then when Hillary needs help;the blacks role their eyes; something for white liberals to think very hard about before supporting racist obama.

This is a lie. Stop ... ( 3 months ago by queenofbabble1)

This is a lie. Stop lying.
The church's own website says that the focus is on the empowerment of the community - that community includes white, black, latino, gay, lesbian, straight, etc. The church is also located half a block away from an old housing development - one of the few left in the city of Chicago - and the area right around the church IS a poor one. Those people NEED empowerment.
Comments like yours serve to poison the discourse. Get some hope.

This is hardly ... ( 3 months ago by tndowns1122)

This is hardly worth a reply, but I'll try anyway. First off, since when has the president had the power to change affirmative-action laws? Never. Second, I think an African American being elected president would--if anything--demonstrate that maybe this country is moving forward and the days when minorities needed affirmative action to give them a helping hand might be coming to an end. And what the hell is "bling bling degrees" supposed to mean? You're a moron.

Obama is for late ... ( 3 months ago by hardrockhead1)

Obama is for late term abortion, no parental notification for teen abortion, massive federal spending, and tax hikes across the board.

i'm white and I'm for obama, it's people like you who make me support him even more. And this happens every time you go out against Obama; people willl support him because of the ignorance of others. 08ama

What is your prove ... ( 2 months ago by DeMorasal)

What is your prove about your comments? Also, you may use his title Senator Obama. I do not believe you are a member of his family to call him by his last name alone. I would appreciate if people can be respect for what people has earned.

I agree with you ... ( 2 months ago by DeMorasal)

I agree with you 100 percent. Senator Obama will be the next ONE (President).

It seems you are ... ( 2 months ago by oldeisolde)

It seems you are not well-informed. The fact is that Mr. Obama is not for affirmative action based on race but on economic class.

We need tax hikes ... ( 1 month ago by DClark4129)

We need tax hikes with 9 trillion in deficit, and that should mostly be for the rich. You sir are uninformed.

Okay first of, a ... ( 4 days ago by bezerkfurp)

Okay first of, a deficit isn't that bad, its bad for countries like Canada or other developed countries that are not as powerful. Any first year economics course will tell you that.
Second, Obama isn't for tax hikes across the board. Go to his website, tax cuts for middle income families.
Thirdly, Mccain is for tax cuts for everyone, and yet he still wants to fund a war, that is completely fiscally irresponsible.
