They operated the same way as the Democrats had with deficit spending, earmarks, and special deals; they just benefited their own friends instead of those of the Democrats.<BR/><BR/>Not that Obama is going to do anything different. Take a look at his record in the Illinois Senate. What changes did he make there? None. He went ahead and worked with the Daley machine and the Combine and endorsed the machine candidates and passed on endorsing the progressive candidates. And that's what he'll do when he's elected as President. He'll sound good, and he looks great on TV, but he's not about to make any real substantive changes in how things run.RonFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533867151466876449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18380739.post-7134268043071963752008-05-17T12:13:00.000-04:002008-05-17T12:13:00.000-04:00Yave.It's quite obvious that the commentor sees so...Yave.<BR/><BR/>It's quite obvious that the commentor sees some sort of correlation between his ridiculous attack on Obama and a story about congressmen using this particular racial slur. <BR/><BR/>That correlation being that when he read the slur, his thought's moved immediately to Obama…need we really ask any more of this obvious racist<BR/><BR/>how very sad for him…to live life so all consumed with such hate, ignorance, and bigotry… truly a pathetic case.Duke Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372995156231067645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18380739.post-44495305313278047332008-05-16T22:51:00.000-04:002008-05-16T22:51:00.000-04:00... and that has to do with what, exactly?... and that has to do with what, exactly?yavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434935209549959812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18380739.post-23349962266037670752008-05-16T14:25:00.000-04:002008-05-16T14:25:00.000-04:00Following is a statement made by James Cone who wa...Following is a statement made by James Cone who was Rev. Wrights mentor, who is Obamas mentor:<BR/><BR/>Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.<BR/><BR/>Here is Obamas reply when asked about Cones statement:<BR/><BR/>I do not in any way disagree with Dr. Cone, nor do I in any way diminish the inimitable and incomparable contributions that he has made and that he continues to make to the field of theology. Jim, incidentally, is a personal friend of mine.<BR/><BR/>These are the true beliefs of these men and Obama is not fit to run a Stop & Go, let alone a nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
