That was all the unity people talk.

There you have given the best reason why an Obama/Clinton ticket is not going to happen. Barack is too smart to get mixed up with the two of them. They brings - things - nasty things - out in each other. And I have no doubt that Bill would inevitably do something to sabotage Obama for beating Hillary. Consciously or not. It would happen. Bill Clinton is NOT to be trusted anywhere near the WH again.

No way. Hillary alone? Maybe. But not with Bill.

Besides, Barack doesn’t need them a whit. You guys need to move on already. Hillary has. Notice?

“And then where will we be?”

Exactly.

Or to offer a reply, We will, increasingly surrounded, still be fighting the pushers of the Anglo-Dutch oligarcial system, who regard us (and their minions, even) as cattle to be herded and slaughtered at their insane whim.

Had FDR lived some years longer, we could have cornered them through governmental regulation and a developed world where people could see their evil for what it is.

They sure don’t want the Clinton family in the White House–too much chance things will get “out of control.”

How many people know that there were at least two assassination/coup attempts against FDR? The first shot and killed a local politician on the stage with him (between the election and his inauguration, if memory serves). The second being the more widely known exposure of the plot to overthrow Roosevelt by General Smedley Butler.

They will stop at nothing. They can, however, be contained through the application of wise policies. That is what our American System was intended to do.

Send these scum back to running casinos and investment houses. And tax them well.

I can. To underestimate a person who has inspired this kind of fervor is to do so at your own risk. And I’m not going to risk my own freedoms because I simply couldn’t see past my own nose. Or because I was too hung up in the idea of how it might look that I bought into a conspiracy theory. Barack Obama is not what he seems. He has a sketchy past, especially during his college years that is out and out creepy. How many people have no recollection of their college years? Columbia U is in NYC for God’s sake. NYC!!! I respect that he took his studies seriously, but come on!!! It’s a very vibrant campus with lots of activities that engage the surrounding communities. And it’s a big melting pot. Race and racism is not over the top just walking around, especially the Columbia U area which borders Harlem, a black community. Yet Obama lived off campus all the way on the east side which amounted to a arduous commute in crosstown traffic. Totally unnecessary since Columbia’s surrounding community is very hospitable to students seeking housing. Something’s up there. And until he offers some insight, then I remain suspicious.

Read this article if you want a perspective on the problem:

To be sure, the problem at this point is complex. But in the last 40 years, single parent homes have decimated the black underclass in a time period when blacks have made great strides. I agree with much of what Cosby addresses. And one of the things that has pissed me off with Obama is that he says nothing! And that’s just more of the same. Living in the urban black community and part of the working poor, I wish I could offer a perspective. I’ve worked with teen mothers and I have to say the problem is one of deeply rooted ignorance. An ignorance that is handed down through the generations. Schools don’t help because it is a bureaucracy that must serve first the teachers’ Unions. I am pro Union, but I have to say this is one Union that I think works against the best interests of the kids. What would be needed in the black community is a totally different approach that understands that middle class value systems are not in place in family units. Schools would have to on some level, recreate what’s lacking at home. Also, the single mother community is one that relies heavily on extended family units. Efforts must be made to understand this and realize you are not just working with 2 parent households. But here’s where other blacks could be key. Helping to elevate education as something that is not only necessary, but desirable. Unfortunately, during the Reagan Years a culture emerged that devalued education and it’s spreading in the same way drugs did to white America, too. Hence, the emergence of hip hop culture and rap. Also, the stupidity of validating black vernacular under Ebonics encouraged AAs not to learn standard English. If you can’t speak standard English you won’t want to read. If you don’t read, then you are functionally illiterate and cut off from education.

Look I could go on. It’s complex.

But the write lost me with the quote as well.

Huh????

Adolph and I had a disagreement on the nature and role of trade unions, with his opinion more nuanced than mine (I was a first year grad student then). But for the most part I respect his opinions on a range of subjects. Good to know he’s not jumped on the bandwagon like so many of his colleagues in academia.

I won’t vote for Obama because he said he dossn’t need my vote. I’m a boomer-aged over-educated female from a steelmaking community who had to leave home and family to make a living. Now he tells me I’m bitter and I cling to my religion and I fear anyone who is not like me? I’m sorry. He doesn’t get to go there. NOT THIS TIME! I spent my life with people not like me trying to teach their children to think for themselves and to make their lives better through education. His arguments don’t fly with me, and I’ve never heard or seen him lead one thing except the parade to the money trough!
