Black Women Voters Torn Between Obama and Clinton

I actually took you somewhat seriously up until you made this statement.

Anyone who knows anything about Obama also understands that he is a devout Christian.

Votes for Ralph Nader were the evil that gave us the worst president in our history, Bush, and kept us from Gore who might of been our best.

Finally someone from the Nader-herd actually accepted being a member! The only problem with this quote is that if you vote for a 3rd evil (Circa 2000), you could help the bigger evil!

On this post, this is old news. The Afro-American women are voting for Hillary v Barack Hussein 2:1
Afro-American men are leaning towards BHO which keeps the over all black vote at 50:50

No, it means that stories like this serve little purpose other than to muddle the issues.

A few older black women in a salon in no way, shape, form, or fashion represent the "black female" opinion anymore than a few older white women in a salon would represent the entire "white female" opinion.

I could just as easily go out to Lousiana, find some David Duke supporters, and then write a story headlined "White Voters Torn Between David Duke and George Bush".

Interesting characterization of Oprah's endorsement. I see Oprah as a smart, saavy social analyst and commentator, whose opinions resonate with millions and millions of Americans. Labeling her as an "entertainer" misses a lot. The simply question with regard to Oprah is: "Would you rather have her for you or against you?"

The only ones who discount the significance and possible influence of her Obama endorsement, and the Hillary backers who tried and tried and tried in vain to get the endorsement for Hillary. hmmmmmm The phrase "sour grapes" comes to mind.

The problem with the Hillary camp is that like Bush, if you don't support her in every way you are evil and the enemy. Even on the message boards they attack any dissenter as a "Hillary Hater", troll, "right wing conspirator in disguise." Absolute paranoia.

Obama is visionary, charismatic, a leader who has the potential to inspire, unite and lead more than 50 percent of the nation. Our nation and the world could use a dose of real, optimistic leadership.

Hillary in dishonest, an intensly divisive figure, whose primary qualification is being Bill's wife, whose judgment on major issues is horrible (Iraq vote, Iran vote, healthcare reform in the 1990s), who follows and panders to opinion polls, and who takes stands on every side of every issue. The heir to the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton status quo, she is a warmonger and servant of corporate speical intersts who will continue the Bush poliicies in the Middle East to help oil and defense industries to protect their obscene profits.

If he's so naive, then why did Hillary agree with him about Pakistan?

Poor lisette your wishful thinking is blinding you look at the polls!

You must not know many people.

Obama had the good judgement to see in advance the disaster the Iraq war has become, and to oppose it vocally, publicly and courageously.

In contrast, Hillary showed the horrible judgement of supporting the Iraq war. And she is supporting an attack on Iran, now.

Once Bush invaded Iraq, there have been no good options. We are up to our necks in a quigmire. Our troops are in harms way.

The question now is: Do we want to have a president who recognized the risks in Iraq and opposed the war, or one who ignored the risks and voted for the war, and cannot say it was a mistake.

Obama is about change and the future, Clinton is more of the same.

As he has explained before, he did not think it was a good idea for us to enter into the war, but since our servicemen/women are there, he does not want them to be put in harm's way and wants to make sure they have the equipment/tools they need.

If it were my sons fighting in Iraq, I'd surely want to make sure they had the necessary supplies that they needed. I would not want Congress to pull away from funding while there our sons and daughters are still in service.

This is only a common-sense approach to me.

ConcernAmerican,

Your talking points are getting tangled. Hillary shoots her mouth off to pander to the opinion polls. Give one solid statement by Hillary on any issue, and I will give you 5 of her statements that contradict it. She takes a stand and then qualifies it so many times the substance is gone. Quick example: The big big Baby Bonds idea: what is Hillary's current position on it? No one can tell you, including Hillary.

If Hillary is elected, Bill will be the president. That's the plan. We need to move forward, not backward.

You mean she doesn't shoot off her mouth without checking with the polls and focus groups?

Everything Hillary does is calculated and scripted.

She does shoot off at the mouth: baby bonds (flipflop), torture (flipflop), Iran (flipflop), Iraq (flipflop), talking to our enemies (flipflop), nuclear weapons (flipflop), dealing with Pakistan (flipflop)

You'd think she'd give a little more thought to her statements before she utters these blanket condemnations.

Maxx61 and add to that, "or gender". So much of Hillary's support is based on the fact that she would be the first female president, not a good president. It is ironmic that the "White House Project" and other feminist efforts to elect a woman president have latched onto a candidate whose only REAL qualification is being the WIFE of a former president who humiliated her. Hmmm.

There are plenty of (white) women of a "certain age" who are voting for Hillary because she's a woman.

it can't be because of her record, since no one can ever say what her record is. It can't be because of her experience, since Barack Obama has more years as an elected official than she does.

I see no difference between voting for Hillary because you want a woman president and voting for Barack because you want a black president.
