Bobby Jindal: Vetting McCain's VP Prospects

"you know he's going to run for president some day and there are enough stupid people in this country that would vote for him."

that's exactly the way i felt when i heard o'bama deliver the '04 DNC keynote address. posted 06/27/2008 at 23:26:17

Jonathan Weisman, Washington Post Reporter: Obama "Much More White Than Black"

i think you mean QUESTION MARK.
he's white, arab and east african in that order.
he is not "african-american."
he is not descended from slaves who were taken against their will from western africa.
but he is descended from southern white slaveholders. posted 06/24/2008 at 16:22:04

if his name was barry o'brien his candidacy would be a non-starter. can you imagine him being chosen to give the keynote at the 2004 DNC if he was white? can you imagine him being taken seriously as a candidate for the presidency, after three years in the senate with virtually nothing to show for it, if he was white?

it's too bad that so many of his supporters are afraid to admit to themselves that the only reason they support him is BECAUSE of the color of his skin.

geraldine ferraro got in a lot of hot water earlier this year for suggesting as much, even as she acknowledged that if her name had been gerald ferraro she never would've been chosen as mondale's running mate.

it's okay kids, really it is. you can fess up. you're voting for obama to prove to yourself and to others that you are not a racist.

too bad you don't understand that voting for someone based upon the color of his or her skin is just as racist as NOT voting for someone because of skin color.

it's really too bad that we're finally at the point where america is ready for a black president, but instead of a candidate whose ancestors were slaves, we've got someone who is half white and whose forebears owned slaves. posted 06/24/2008 at 13:39:54

Obama And Race: Most Whites Open To Black President, But Hate Groups Growing

yes, the candidate is half-american. no argument there. Obama's mother is from Kansas, descended from southern slaveholders.

his father was BORN in kenya, true, but his father was only 1/8th african and 7/8ths arab. it's the 1/8th african that the press likes to focus on, when they're not noting that he's also a cousin to scarlett johansson, brad pitt and richard gere.

the new england historical and genealogical association traced -as they always do- the ancestry of the major presidential candidates and released the information in march.

i'd always hopd the first african-american president would be descended from slaves, not slaveholders, but oh, well, i guess it's okay as long as we don't talk about it. posted 06/22/2008 at 16:28:16

Obama Unveils Presidential-Looking Seal

the "blatent" lie, davie, is that you claim you reached the NEHGS at eight p.m. on a saturday night and found someone in the press office willing to comment on the record. nice try, though.

look, we all have two parents, four grand parents, eight great-grandparents and sixteen great-great grandparents. only one of obama's sixteen great-great grandparents is of african heritage. sure, he had ancestors who lived in kenya, but that doesn't make them any more african than the indonesians and indians who have lived in kenya for multiple generations.

the bottom line however is that you needn't get your knickers in a twist. the MSM has chosen to ignore the truth of his ancestry and obama will win the presidency by double digits and the day he gets sworn into office the price of a gallon of gasoline will go down and america's standing in the world will go up and unemployment will go down and the number of polar bears will go up.

Guarantee it.

BTW, did your "source" at NEGS tell you that obama's mother is NOT descended from white slaveholders? i kind of doubt it because that would be a "blatant" lie posted 06/21/2008 at 22:02:55

i wish he would talk about his race and talk about it honestly. he is NOT african-american. and he's BARELY african AND american. He is 1/16th african and 7/16th arab.

but it's no big deal. this country's ready for an arab-american president posted 06/21/2008 at 16:15:06

Obama Raises $22 Million In May

as former president michael dukakis knows so well, a double-digit lead before the convention translates into an automatic win in november.

no matter who wins, it will be by less than 6% posted 06/21/2008 at 16:04:48

Bush To Echo McCain's Plan To Drill In Oceans

well put. i feel the same way about abortion. if vermont wants to make it legal up to the 8th month and 29th day, okay. if new hampshire wants to make it completely illegal, i'm okay with that too. posted 06/18/2008 at 12:27:18

Gore Endorses Obama

hey look, kevenseven,

if you're going to run for president, you better be able to win your own state. if you're a sitting VP looking to take over for the president you served for eight years, you better be able to win his state.

whatever possessed al gore to think he could be the first person in both categories to NOT do that and still win the presidency?

silly fool. look what he did to the country by trying to win the presidency without those two key components posted 06/17/2008 at 15:38:52

L.A. Times Predicts: More Negative Ads On Michelle Obama Coming

"Any attacks on Michelle will backfire. Obama will respond forcefully, he'll make the GOP look like a bunch of desperate bigots"

I have no doubt that you are correct. even if it has nothing it do with race, the candidate who transcends race will make it a racial issue.

it will be impossible to hold michelle obama accountable for past statements and present beliefs, regardless of whether they have anything to do with race or not. posted 06/11/2008 at 16:17:15

Obama Vs McCain: The Race Is On

um, how about as a party agreeing to a law that says you need to show a valid ID before being allowed to vote?

come on huffpost, back the simple, logical idea that the same ID you need to buy alcohol, the same ID you need to cash your social security check, the same ID you need to get a freaking library card is necessary in order to cast a vote for president.

in return for showing a valid ID, your vote counts and you get a receipt to prove it. posted 06/04/2008 at 12:49:17

McCain Recycles 2001 Pro-War Column For 2008 Speech

no, but clinton, inc. surely will. anyone who thinks she will stop at anything to claim the oval office is kidding themselves. the best thing for obama and his family is if his candidacy continues to implode. that way he'll be around this time next year to vacation in the virgin islands. posted 03/26/2008 at 16:05:52
