Honest Ong?
I hate to break your bubble, but so far Obama has seemed no different from Hillary.
Give me Gore’s speech any day.
Oliver there is only one reason you like him and everyone knows why.
ian, of course you’re right.
Obama a stand-up American citizen: everyone knows that’s why Oliver likes him.
And he scares Republicans.
Oliver there is only one reason you like him and everyone knows why.
I’m part of “everyone”, I think, and I don’t know what this “one reason” you’re talking about might be. There seem to be so many likeable things about Senator Obama.
Please enlighten me, Ian, what is this “one reason”? Spell it out.

I didn’t know those Yellow Elephants knew how to bake.
A race card for the Dems to say they’re not racist.
Well, it’s true that Senator Obama’s grace and dignity are qualities not found in the Republican party. It’s interesting that the first thing you think of is race. It’s funny that the first black senator in some time happens to be a Democrat.
Hm.
Wonder why that is?
Hm.
A race card for the Dems to say they re not racist.
Dems don’t have to prove they’re not racist. Republicans do. That’s why loyal GOP dimwits who happen to be black are promoted far above their abilities *cough*Clarence Thomas*cough*.
I’m happy to see more blacks earn positions of power like Obama, but if he were as dumb as Thomas or Michael Steele he wouldn’t get my support.
Oliver, please name me two great things Osama Obama has done.
This does not even deserve the dignity of a response. Osama Obama? What next, you going to break out the Hitlery Klintoon moniker?
Spitting contests about “who is less/more racist” are obnoxious.
Just putting that out there
I’m tired of the 4th grade nonsense from you right-wing commenters. Straighten up or your comments go.
Who said Osama Obama ?
It is actually refreshing to see Wilbur admit to the double standard held by his side of the aisle. Thank you for being so candid.
” It s funny that the first black senator in some time happens to be a Democrat.”
It’s funny that the first black Secretary of State and the first black National Security Advisor happened to be Republicans.
You’re right: that is a sign from above:
Obama is getting in the way of complete honesty.
I imagine that perplexed look on his face is his trying to cope with the fact that he just had to defend a vile, racist remark by his colleague.
JD: what double standard would that be?
I admire smart, charismatic leaders like Obama.
I don’t admire dim intellectual catamites like Clarence Thomas.
My admiration and lack thereof would be the same even if they were of a different color.
Are you saying that I have a double standard that disadvantages idiots? Well yes, I suppose I do in certain spheres.
I can see why that would be particularly troubling to a Republican.
When I said that the Republicans had to prove that they weren’t racist, I didn’t mean to me, I meant to the people they hoped to vote for them. I was commenting on Republican electoral strategy. That’s why you have affirmative action for high-profile appointments like Clarence, Condi and Colin. Not that this is always bad: when they were appointed I thought Condi and Colin were pretty good choices. They have since disgraced themselves, of course.
Of course the window-dressing of these prominent appointments doesn’t fool many people for long, once they look at Republican policies and Republican results: against Affirmative action (except for legacy Yalies and loyal GOP lapdogs like Thomas), for the starving of social programs, infrastructure, health care and education.
As long as those are the Republican policies you’ll always be the party of Thurman, Lott, Helms, Willie Hortonism and John McCain’s black babyism in the eyes of a lot of people, even if your whole damn cabinet is rainbow colored.
Wow. Looks like OW is pimpin’ the propaganda bigtime. Why don’t you just go ahead and photoshop a halo on the dude? Your belief in the imaculate rightousness of democrats is quite entertaining.
I’d be willing to bet a dollar to a doughnut that, before Obama gets near the White House, he will be involved in one of those political scandals, that has him walking out of the State Supreme Court with a newspaper over his face.
There’s something in that Illinois air.

the ordinary voter and even members of Congress who aren t in the majority party don t have much input.
There s been a consolidation of power by the Republican Congress and this White House in which, if you are the ordinary voter, you don t have access, Obama said. That should be a source of concern for all of us.
What a bunch of whiny bastards. Gee whiz, the MINORITY party doesn t have as much say or access in the govt? NO WAY! I never knew it was like that. Next thing you ll be telling me that the party that wins elections should actually get to govern!
Uhh, before you break into your song and whine routine, I just want to point out that you don’y even understand what the quote is about, do you?
