He told all of us that he was a uniter and race was completely out of the picture. Then his pastor and long time friend's comment were discovered. This was like testing positive for steriods. Strike one.
White America became shocked and angry. He then made a good speech admitting he was in the church when these words of hate were spoken. He then said his mother was a typical white person and was a subtle racist. Strike two. He tried to cover it up last week by saying his grandmother was not a racist, she was just a typical white person. Strike three. He is done. I am 79 years old, in good health, write books and guest columns. According to Obama, I am a white racist. The truth is he is
the one that is a racist and that is what his children are being taught which will keep the devide going for many more years and as long as Black America keep hating us.

Somebody tell Obama there is no such thing as a typical white person. He should apologize to all the white people who voted for him because they thought he was not a racist. I am sure they wish they could have their vote back. If the Democratic Party finds a way to get rid of Obama, you can bet Obama is not on the short list of vice presidential candidates and if Obama limps to the nomination, Hillary will want no part of this sinking ship. Keith Oberman, like all journalist, is trying to bail out the water in a sinking ship, but this is a bigger hole than the swift Boat veterans was for Kerry who is now the joke of the Democratioc party. The voters will decide who they believe..

Love Keith, but he is wrong on this one. That is....if he weren't drinking the Kool-Aid for Obama. Let me just say that if Obama gets the nomination, McCain will be sworn in on 1/20/09. I know the U.S. is the greatest republic on earth and we're multicultural, but between Wrights remarks and Michelle's gaffe, the GOP will clean up in November. I can't see a combined ticket so he loses older women who will not forget how hateful Obama's supporters have been on this post and others. They will vote for McCain plus Dem congressional seats in the Fall. His black and yuppie base is not enough to win the Presidency without traditional Dems and all of the kings men....won't change anyone's vote. Trust me.

"Olbermann Slams Clinton!"

I hope it was good for jim, too.

Well said, the campaign tactics of the Clintons are revolting, and they are going to lose the election for us no mater who the nominee is, unless it is stopped now..

As a white, female, older-than-Hillary, American Democrat, whose father was the son of a Republican magistrate and whose brothers and sons are Republican, and whose mother was the daughter of a Democratic construction contractor who raised nine children, and even supported the family of an uncle during the Great Depression on his own steam, without a cent from the government, I've seen both sides of the political spectrum. I was originally for Dennis Kucinich. I'm now for Barack Obama.
I sympathized with Hillary when the news came out that Bill cheated on her, but don't believe that makes her presidential material. If the Red Phone rang, I'd much rather have Obama answering.

you go, keith!

i am a regular viewer of keith and his insightful, passionate commentary. he is truly shedding light on the current political process, and makes a very good case. in all of the divisive, desperate, and unreasonable attempts for the campaign hillary is leading, one issue is very clear....she doesn't understand the math, when she attacks in her own party. mc cain is not acceptable, but if she is so bent on having the nomination lay with her, or not at all...she may just hand mc cain the presidency! not acceptable!
peace-

After this latest from Keith I think that I am folding up my tent, turning off the TV and heading for the road until election day. Whoever is the democratic candidate, that's who I will pull the lever for. I don't care who it is. I'm sick of this shit. . . .

Why cant I ever think of tis guy as REAL?

Mr Olbermann, shame on you for telling the truth!

Does Hillary look like she's worried what you say or think?

Keith should stick with cable sports where his lack of professionalism is appreciated.

Olbery old boy how about a commentary on Obama.You have lots to talk about ,Rezko,his pastor,you can even do this if the writters strike,because it will write itself.PS Today marks a month I haven't tuned you in.

I appreciate Mr Olbermann's comments to as a warning to be careful of those people who are associated with the campaigns.

Both Senator Clinton and Obama have learned this painful lesson this week.

Now, let's proceed with the business of putting a Democrat in the White House already!

Go Democrats! See you in Denver 2008!

Mrs. Clinton is fighting to win the democratic nomination the only way she can; by rekindling racism. It is the type of simple math that Carl Rove is famous for using. This country is a majority white nation and if Hillary's campaign can create black vs. white silos of distrust, she will prevail.

The strategy might work. The American public has historically been very slow to recognize when they are being manipulated.

Once again, Keith nails it.

I am not amused by any of the three still-standing candidates. I doubt if I'll vote for any of them. What a sad thing that we are left with these, when there were several excellent candidates running. The ship of state is foundering and this is what is offered as leadership.

The corporate media, a handfull of rich-white-men, started telling Democrats about a year ago, that Clinton and Obama were the "frontrunners". The Democratic voters took the bait and rejected some excellent candidates including Edwards and Richardson so they could back the "winners". So now the Democratic primary is all about race and gender. The corporate media have succeeded in splitting the party. McCain is looking better all he time.

has the KoolAid been spiked? i just saw a huge halo of gold circling obama's radiant head.
what a freakshow it has all become.... the old boys club- endlessly bashing hillary. it was too much watching them bash her on the night she won ohio and texas... bashing unabated.
i've loved keith oberman.... but he had just become so biased and obsessed.

Shame on you Keith. That was terrible.

Poor Keith. Since Bush is all but a memory, he's evidently resorted to manufacturing outrage for his "comment". Even without admitting a tingling sensation, his endorsement of Obama has been obvious for quite some time.

I'll always thank him for saying what no one else in media would say about the Bush administration, but an unneeded voice adding to the chorus of angry men against Hillary isn't courageous, it's just sad.
