Juan Williams Nails It

Juan Williams, who appears on both National Public Radio and Fox News (is that prima facie evidence of schizophrenia?), has gotten to the nub of the matter on Barack Obama’s race problem. The full piece is posted at the Wall Street Journal online. Williams writes:
The heart of Mr. Obama’s problem is that he risks being defined by Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger. Most American voters know him only as a fresh face with an Ivy League education, an outstanding credential – editor of the Harvard Law Review – an exciting speaker, and a man who stands for much-desired change. Beyond that he is a political mystery with a thin legislative record. But when voters look at his past for clues to the core of his character, they find religious leaders calling for God to damn America and concluding that America is the greatest sin against God.
To deal with this controversy effectively, Mr. Obama needs to give another speech. This time he has to admit to sins of using race for political expediency – by knowingly buying into divisive, mean messages being delivered from the pulpit. He has to say that, as a biracial young man with no community roots, attaching himself to Rev. Wright and the Trinity congregation was a shortcut to move up the ladder in the Chicago political scene. He has to call race-baiting what it is, whether it comes from a pulpit or calls itself progressive politics. And he has to challenge his supporters, especially his black base, to be honest about real problems at the heart of today’s racial divide – including out-of-wedlock births, crime, drugs and a culture that devalues education while glorifying the gangster life.
Mr. Obama also has to raise the bar for how political criticism is handled in his camp. Step one is to acknowledge that not every critic is a racist. His very liberal record and his limited experience, like his association with Rev. Wright, is a fact, not the work of white racists. Just as he calls for the GOP not to engage in the politics of fear over terrorism, Mr. Obama needs to declare that he will refrain from playing the racial victim, because he understands such tactics will paralyze political debate and damage race relations.
Only by admitting to his own sins can Mr. Obama credibly claim that he has seen the promise of our country, in which Americans of all colors work together. Only then can he convince dubious white voters that he is ready to move beyond racial antagonism and be their president.
If Barack followed this advice he would finally have demonstrated for me that he has the courage and character to be a President. His continued refusal to take on this hard issue serves to remind me he’s not ready to handle other tough issues like Iran or North Korea. What will Barack do?
Does Hillary have something up her sleeve?

Interesting theories in the comment section.
Bill…this is a post on Obama. Why raise Hillary into the conversation?
I believe Juan is correct … right on the money. However, I believe it is too late for this speech. This should have already occurred …. he would have been well receive. Now too much water under the bridge. He has no credibility left and now to go back and say all of this, is a tad too late.
Keep Obama out of the White House.. and get him out of the Senate.
Senator Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane, on a trip back from his many fundraisers. Trying to unwind, he turned toward her and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve uh heard that flights go quicker if you uh strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.” The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the Senator, “What would you like to talk about?”
Thinking he had an opening to dazzle her with his superior intelligence Obama said, “Oh, Uh I don’t know, How about foreign uh policy? I know more about that than anyone else,” he said with a wide grin.
“OK,” the little girl said, “That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first.”
“A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff-grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”
Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl’s own intelligence, thinks about it for a minute and then says, “Hmmm, Uh I have no idea.”
To which the little girl replied, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss foreign policy when you obviously don’t know shit?”
f**k you (i am laughing so hard )
where u got that from ??
thats fu**king hillarious .
did u make that one up or copied it .
i mean ,its funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
It’s a variation on, “The Professor and the Bartender,” circa 1967. Sent to me by one of my ex-wives. Some of the finest women you’d ever meet.

Oh, he will follow this advice, now that he has demolished the Clintons. He will re-invent himself as needed, to try and get elected. But why would words do him any good now? His record doesn’t change, the needle is stuck on those 20 years.
Yes, that’s like the bank robber, when caught by the FBI, confesses his sins, says he’s sorry, and “can I keep the money?”
Obama is going to try to do in the General what worked so well for him in the primary. That is anything you say against him is called a racist attack. McCain, like Clinton before him, won’t be allowed to say anything against Obama. This is how Obama controls the agenda and forces adversaries to keep their mouths shut. At rock bottom it is a very sophisticated type of bullying or shakedown.
Obama forces will try to make McCain tip-toe around issues and use political correct language thus making him more tongue-tied than he normally is. He will use his race to weaken McCain’s arguments. It is a very cynical use of race.
Obama will try to force anyone who does not support him into not being able to question his integrity, his lack of knowledge of foreign affairs, his health care policy, his patriotism, his character, his stand on issues, or Michelle.
I say enough is enough. I say we call his bluff and do what has to be done to defeat this illegitimate imposter. I will urge the McCain campaign to do the same. I am pretty sure the RMC and the 527s will not allow Obama to get away with this tactic on them. Politics is a contact sport. Obama and his minions just better get used to it.
Nothing less than the future of my county, my democracy, and my Constitution are at stake here!
He didn’t demolish the Clintons, the media, and others, helped him to the Presidency.
Keep it real, the minute you start believing you earned it on merit, you’ll be starting middle east wars, because ” nobody can beat you.”
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
McCain, like Clinton before him, won’t be allowed to say anything against Obama
Not so…”be allowed”?
Clinton can still pop BO like the zit he is. You think McCain will have any connection to the fact that on the issues alone he won’t have to “go there”? That the RNC knows that the house and senate are not the main objective? The main objective is to keep the current crop of criminals from going to jail?
Oops there I have said it!
Now it is fair to ask why would I vote for that?
Because historically, for many a year, none of the illegallities of previous administrations has been outted for public consumption.
expediency and being relevant are not mutually exclusive.
For BO to do what Mr Williams suggests would be the end of his political career. First, he is a chickenshit. Second, everybody knows he is a fraud and has legged humped his wazoo up the political ladder. Third, BO doesn’t know shit.
BO did it masterfully against HRC and WJC fell into it as well. ALL dems care about this, esp. apparently blacks (who can blame them?).
as if “the first black president”, was a racist, as was his wife. amazing the magic they have performed (a credulous audience perhaps?) LCSP’s (lying, cheating, stealing party) supporters don’t give a rats sphincter. how is this tactic going to work against those who have no understanding of white guilt?
I burst out laughing when I read the second paragraph. While Juan Williams is right, that’s just never happen. He doesn’t have it in him.
Juan Williams nails it because he is indeed , an Uncle Tom.
Paid by rich right-wingnuts (Rupert Murdock) to cheerlead the Reich-wing.
Nice one David,
Race baiting yet again. Everything Juan Williams speaks of is true. Dislike the argument if you want; but save the name calling, it will not suffice as an argument.
I agree. Save it, David…you obamabots can’t use race baiting as an excuse anymore.
I think it’s racist to call people uncle toms. Black people don’t march in lockstep with each other even though racists try to steriotype them that way.
Juan Williams is a human being and he has the right to have an opinion without being accused of being a traitor or something. That kind of attempt to silence and shame somebody comes right out the Bush/Rove playbook.
u did not call him racist??
why??
because -u guys call everyone else who questions obama as racist ?
Sorry, Rupert is supporting Obama. Check your facts, Moron.
But Rupert Murdoch endorsed your boy. Remember: the owls are not what they seem.
Williams hits the nail of the head. BO has never admitted to making a mistake in anything he’s said. His arrogance is stunning and will ultimately destroy him. One has to have a record of achievement to pull off that level of arrogance. BO has done nothing but talk, and most of his talk has been empty rhetoric.
Calling someone an “Uncle Tom” reveals your racism towards whites, for it confirms that you view white individuals as the enemy, worthy of scorn, and as the “other.” Further, using such a racial slur against an African American confirms that you are wiling to condemn any member of what you perceive as your group should they not fall in lock step with your views and sentiments toward whites.
Your “us” versus “them” mentality is destructive, racist, and wreaks of a segregationist attitude where we are separate, but not equal.
I just donated to John McCain for the first time. I urge other “Hillocrats” to do the same so that the DNC sees that we were not kidding when we said we weren’t going to “fall in line” behind Obama. Even if you donate a dollar, donate something. The more that show up on both list, the more they won’t nominate someone like this asshole again when there is a stronger candidate out there.
“Uncle Tom says: Only YOU can prevent Ghetto Fires!”
Thank you. I will also become a regular support of McCain. While I do not support some of the Republican agenda, I trust McCain to answer the phone at 3:a.m. more than I would trust Obama. Those who haver left the four corners of this country let alone their states have no idea of what the reality is on who should be the next president of this country. I do not want to wake up with the reality. I will fight to avoid learning that lesson. VOTE/SUPPORT/ANYTHING for McCain. NEVER Obama. Save this country.
yeah yeah yeah…
at this stage it is all 100% spin and lies…
there is no redemption for Obama now…
he has stolen votes… he has flip flopped on absoulutely everything imaginable… he has come up with the most fundemantaly insane ideas like meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad… the flip flop on israel is so bizzare its surreal…
he is part of the most sleazy political machine this country has ever seen…
everything about Obama shows that he is a disaster waiting to happen and that he has only his own thirst for power at interest in this…
you can’t rationalize a crazy person and say hey if he just did this it would be ok… he is completely and wholelly immoral, corrupt, stupid, arrogant and dangerous to the world at large… he is more dangerous than Bush because at least Bush knew he was stupid…
for fucks sake people… pull your head out!
so sorry, but bush has no idea he is stupid! none!
“[H]e has come up with the most fundemantaly insane ideas like meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.”
What’s “fundamentally insane” is this consistent refusal to acknowledge our need to negotiate with adversaries, both real or potential, which in itself is a demonstration of weakness and resolve.
That said, talking with President Ahmadinejad really does nothing to change the fundamental dynamic of our relationship with Iran, because he has no more political power in that country than does the Queen of England over hers, and certainly far less political decorum. For American domestic political considerations, the GOP has created in Ahmadinejad a classic strawman.
Therefore, your rant about the Iranian president is superfluous and irrelevant, because as always, the power in Iran rests with the mullahs. If we desire to change for the better the nature of our relationship with Iran, we have to talk directly to the mullahs.
Donald,
Your are right the Mullahs are the ones with the Power in Iran.
However, your post also highlights the danger of Obama - He doesn’t KNOW who to talk to because his basic knowledge of foreign affairs is worse than lukewarm tea. Just like needing Arabic speakers to go to Afghanistan. Unless those Arabic speakers are slated to teach in fundamentalist madreasses - their language skills are useless in a country where the offical languages are Pashtun and Dari,
Therein lies the danger and stupidity of Obama. Danger because he doesn’t know what the average news watcher knows and stupidity because his own arrogance prevents him from ever acknowledging he made an error.
Really? Another speech? More words? Would that do it? I am highly skeptical Larry.
You know what will happen: he will give (rolling of my eyes) yet another speech where he would same some, hedge some and contradict some. And people will hear what they want to hear….
Why? Because that is who he is; and who he has been all this time. No doubt about that.
correction : “he would
samesay some, hedge some……”I agree. Another speech, more carefully scripted words will never adequately address or excuse Obama’s long time relationships with myriad nefarious characters. Henry David Thoreau once said: “What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”
So what he is saying is that Obama can just come out and make another high faluting speech about race and all will be forgiven?
Don’t try to tell me that a man who grew up in Chicago politics was the only one to escape with his hands clean. Don’t work that way. And they went to great lengths to see that he got the nomination which means favors are owed.
Chilling thought.
favors are owed, lies were told.
So much for the skeletons of “The Others”.
Kerry, no whats sad is the fact that the DNC has turned its back on us and the candidate we support. They have done nothing but shove Obama down our throats since Iowa. Even with all the data showing Obama is a sure loser in the fall, the still nominate him over Hillary, a sure winner, because they were afraid to make black people mad. If he were John Edwards, this would be Hillary’s nomination. No caucus state wins would have stood in the way of them doing the right thing but since the DNC turned so “Politically correct” we see no way we can support there party this time around. John McCain will do for 4 years.
part of it is just dumb luck(and true moronism on the part of the dnc.) imagine for a moment if the dems had a sensible, read winning, formula like the LCSP’s: winner take all, all delegates to the winner, no phoney caucases. HRC in a walk!
Why do they talk about these things in Church, The place they call the house of God. ” Race and Politics”. What ever happened to separation of Church and State. And no one will applie a tax to them because there afraid to piss off the bible belters.
They should be taxed…

Bwahahaha! Good luck on this one. BO would NEVER give a speech like this. He could hardly admit to knowing Rev. Wright or Rev. Pfleger or Bill Ayers, he could hardly admit to taking money from Rezko and when he did, he had to keep adjusting the amounts as he got caught. When my niece and nephew were little, they would lie their little tails off, even when they got caught red-handed. As you pointed out what they did, they’d make up stories to cover it up (”What I MEANT was…”), slowly admitting parts of what they did, but never admitting any guilt or responsibility. Like 3 and 5 year olds DO. Over the course of this campaign, BO has shown to me how immature and irresponsible he is by his unwillingness to be truthful. Who is he? What does he think? I still don’t know anything about the man and that’s scarier than the things I DO know about him.
All along I have been saying just what Juan said on many other blogs.
In Obama’s race speech it looked like he was going to face the Wright issue head on about mid way through. I was even thinking my daughter was right and that I should manybe look closer at voting for him. However, Obama did not stop there and that is where he lost me and many other voters.
Obama continued with his speech in order to excuse Wright’s actions due events in prior generations. Obama also went on to say that his grandmother was a “typical white person” which insulted me and many other people of my race. What follow the “typical white person” really hit many of us in the gut hard.
After Obama’s race speech, I realized that thies was a habit of Obama’s. Obama seemed to skirt, excuse and/or avoid all issues that he was faced with. That is why his answer to the Michelle tapes still has me wondering.
Hillary ‘08 or McCain ‘08
Susan and Larry do you have a mailing address so your supporters can mail a check to help defer costs here such as hosting services and pest/rodent/troll control?
I have a brief OT message for everyone here who still wants Hillary to be the nominee but if not will support McCain even if Hillary is the VP selection by Obama:
Many Hillary supporters are understandably quite upset with this “election,” the Democratic Party and even Hillary Clinton. There is a rightful feeling in the air of betrayal as Hillary is about to lend her support to Obama. As it stands now Hillary still retains her delegates. Let’s wait until tomorrow before deciding what we should do. I anticipate exactly what she said she would do: she will offer the Obama campaign support and will suspend her campaign and hold on to her delegates until the convention. It has been reported she has asked Obama for help with her campaign debt. The VP issue is unknown. I tend to think she is not being considered or she would not accept even if offered. I’ve read that Hillary is sending out emails asking people to donate to Obama. Any distasteful things Hillary is doing is for her political survival so she may fight another day.
By the way ever since Hillary announced she would support Obama many in the MSM have been reporting this as an “endorsement.” Even if this was true I’m not clear what impact that has. I’m not concerned as long as she keeps her delegates. I would be curious to know what would happen if she did release her delegates but then Obama implodes before the convention? We can cross that bridge if we have to.
As it stands my understanding is as long as she holds on to her delegates she can still be the nominee. She may also thinking about running against McCain in 2012.
I’m still confident Obama will implode prior to the convention. These next couple of months will feel schizophrenic as on the one hand Hillary supporters will be fighting to help Obama implode and on the other hand will be planning on how to help McCain defeat Obama.
My advice is to turn off the tube and wait to hear from Hillary tomorrow. If things are as I have described take some time off to regroup as we have lots of work to do no matter what Hillary decides to do!
To: **== President & Commander-in-Chief Hillary Clinton **==
Good advice. I agree that most of Hillary’s supporters will never shift their support to Obama, irrespective of what Hillary publicly espouses. In defense of Hillary, she may support Obama, but will likely not endorse him tomorrow or at any time before the convention. I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t endorse him either. The media will still crow endlessly about her “enthusiasm,” or lack thereof, in supporting him, but I’ll never fault her for failing to demonstrate the media’s brand of enthusiastic support. I give her credit for offering him even a modicum of support. Many of us (myself included), would find it profoundly difficult to be that generous.
If she accepts money from Obama, she’s tainted.
Those stench of those people pollutes the whole world.
I’m a strong admirer of Juan Williams’ work and the fact that he stands up for what he truly believes even under extreme pressure. I’m guessing he has been called a lot of names by people like David over the years. Why can’t David address what Juan says instead of beginning with the bullying and try to diminish Juan and distract from this important topic with name calling? Yet Juan continues to try to break through to people to take a harder look at themselves and quit playing the victim and race card because he truly cares. In all sincerity some of the AA community needs to heed these words before they can begin to make true progress: Get Over It. Many of us have had to follow these words for our own challenges or injustices before we could move on as well with our issues and so we know it’s not easy to do. But it’s important and many of us would like to help but we can’t if we can’t have an open dialogue without being labelled or bullied or intimidated. As more time passes the racial baiting and excuse making will become a less effective approach.
amen
Hmm, this is interesting. Sounds like someone’s been played on the “whitey” tape. The scenario is straight out of a political novel … literally.

Don’t bother putting a link to the Orange Trash Recycling site.
No one here will click on it : it is trash; and won’t give them any traffic.
that orange trash site? You just ruined any credibility you may have had here. Go back to the orange sewer. And laughing because the tape exists and you boys are just going to ahve to wait for it to explode on you! Have a nice summer!
i haven’t turned on the TV in over a week now… it feels great…
and yes, we all know hillary has got to do what she feels she needs to…
and we are all 100% behind supporting her as the real nominee
I believe that if hillary isn’t the nominee that either she will get written in somehow (hey i have no idea how this shit works i am just an ignorant slob)
or we will make sure McCain wins and Hillary is up next election…
when you think about it, the minute we turn off the tv or throw away the biased newspapers etc we are suddenly free…
we can make it happen…
Obama won’t be able to run for any office much less the white house after this is all over…
his political obituary was written when he stole those votes…
it really is that simple…
I gave up tv ages ago, except for watching her speeches, and a quick glance at numbers on primary nights. All I read is No Quarter and links readers post here. I’m much healthier! When I talk to some irrational Obamabot who says Obama is the nominee, I just visit here to get a nice does of reality so I can feel like I can breath again. What the pundits and DNC elites are conveniently ignoring in a most Orwellian fashion: It ain’t August yet.
Senator Obama can try but another “mea culpa” speech has got its limits. The American people can be bamboozled once or twice, but not every time. Best of luck to the Democratic Party because they bet on the (w)right candidate to lose these must-win constituencies of any party: Reagan Democrats, Latinos, Asians, Catholics and women. In the meantime, I will start saving up to be able to make a significant contribution to Hillary in four years! After all, only a Clinton managed to end 12 years of straight Republican rule at the White House. So what’s another 4 years of John McCain? I’ll take Cindy over Michelle any day.
“I’ll take Cindy over Michelle any day.”
Cindy’s great, unless you’re a charity that has pharmaceuticals for Cindy to steal, or you’re a disabled, disfigured woman with a husband for Cindy to fornicate with in violation of your wedding vows.
I suppose if I were one of those two things, I wouldn’t be a big fan of Cindy McCain.
For everyone else, though, she’s a peach.

You might not want to mention anything drug related until Obama releases his FULL medical records. What might he be hiding?
better than having an angry bitchy scratch your eyes out person.
Cindy has given more money to Africa than Obama has even thought about it. Obama campaigns for his cousin, a murderer.
yes, I’ll take cindy any day over michelle.
dora — I agree. How many times can you say you’re made a boneheaded mistake? 20 years with a hate filled preacher, and a couple of more angry preachers who are his religious counselors. A 17 year relationship with Bill Ayers of the 60’s group The Weather Underground–who wishes he could bomb more buildings. Then there is to me — the most hateful one of all Louis Farahkan. He is a very powerful Anti-Semite with a group called the New Black Panther Party who considers himself a black muslim. I remember the original Black Panther Party and someone who knows these people is not someone you want as a president. Now we hear that Obama and his preachers are proponents of Black Liberation Theology.
Black Theology knows no authority more binding than the experience of oppression itself. This alone must be the ultimate authority in religious matters they say.
If Obama believes in Black Liberation Theology why not be proud of it. Not Mainstream enough for most Americans?
So to Juan Williams — what can Obama say now? I am conflicted by my feelings toward white voters. Mr religion is based on oppression even though I am not an African American I am into the hate. My friends who are also full of hate make me comfortable.
You get one chance to make a first impression — Obama did that. However, bit by bit we are seeing that Obama is not what he claimed to be and the American people are turning from him. The DNC made the mistake of putting all their eggs in one basket for the sake or Unity — Now they have neither Unity nor their voting base intact.
and no basket either.
Larry,
Is there gonna be a tape released any time soon?
You told us on May 26th that you “know for a fact,” that there exists “tape of (Michelle Obama) blasting ‘whitey’ during a rant at Jeremiah Wright’s church.”
And you reported, on June 2nd, that “five separate sources” report that the tape “features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks.”
These are items that you reported, without qualification.
You provided no evidence. No sources. We were to take your reportage on faith.
Where’s the tape, Larry?
A person of honor would now provide the evidence to support the story, or, alternately, acknowledge that his reportage was in error.
That’s what a person of honor would do.
Is that what you will do, Larry? Or are you asking us to continue to take your unqualified reportage on faith?

Dude,
Get me an address and I’ll send you an audio tape laying out the facts as reported so far. Obviously you can’t read nor comprehend what has been posted. The folks who have the tape, I am told, are waiting until after Barack is the official nominee. That’s August. They would much rather take him apart because they believe he is the weaker candidate. I promise, I’ll read loud and slow and hope you can grasp the concepts.
Mr. Johnson, not sure books on tape would help. Obama earwax infection is the leading cause of political deafness and there is no known cure but one.
The pharmas won’t have it ready till August or failing that, November 4th.
I am sure that Larry and Susan will be claiming how Obama and “big media” have conspired to squelch the tape. You see, America is now being run by a conspiracy including the Nation of Islam, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile and other members of the DNC, CNN, MSNBC, The Daily Kos, Ariana Huffington, Marxism, and Nancy Pelosi - all being directed by Barack Hussein Obama. Didn’t you know that? No? Well that means you are misogynist and a commie.
As to the tape of Michelle Obama, I wouldn’t be surprised if it does exist but I’m not sure why it even matters. My opinion about the inexperience and lack of substance Obama demonstrates will not be altered by it.
I will not reward BO with a vote even if the tape never shows up. The only people who are sweating it are the trolls. I believe that they know it’s true, how can it not be, that MO made demeaning and degrading remarks about whites? Obama’s little white disciples do it all the time, why wouldn’t his wife?
It’s certainly consistent with everything we know about her: the Princeton thesis, her 20-year membership and close alliance with Uncle Jeremiah.
I think it would be a miracle if the tape didn’t exist. It would be fun to see, but it’s very easy to imagine.
Let it rest.
One more time:
Larry. never. said. he. had. the. tape.
And one more time for you:
Then. Don’t. Bring. It. Up. If. All. You. Can. Offer. Is. Hearsay.
Patrick — Call Rudy Giuliani — he has the tape. And if you can’t take it anymore, Don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
While Larry can certainly defend himself, his prior postings were what they said they were. You are free to believe what you want to believe, but I recall Larry going no further out on a limb than saying that he has received accurate information from his sources in the past, and he is willing to trust these sources for now. Nothing more…nothing less. He never claimed possession of the materials, he never said that he had seen or heard the video, he never claimed to know who unearthed the materials, who was in possession of the materials (other than a supposition that the materials were in the possession of Republican party supporters). He said that his sources indicated that the materials would likely stay under wraps until the fall general election campaign. To Larry Johnson’s supporters, this was likely seen as a “head’s-up” preview of possible coming attractions. I doubt than any of his supporters took this as a “Nancy Grace Guarantee” that such a tape existed or that he had any control or influence over whether or when it might be released. Only his detractors saw these postings in a manner that cause his supporters to wonder if his detractors are brain dead, illiterate, or have major problems with reading and comprehension. Mr. Meighan, it is what it is, not what you may want it to be. Larry Johnson could not possibly be dishonest when he was not stating facts, and his statements were clearly labeled as supposition,and statements made by others (sources). Your posting does not cast dispersions on Larry Johnson, only on yourself.
ok i distrust BO to the max, but what about the supremes? talk to me.
CULVER CITY?!?!?
Isn’t that where the MUNCHKINS used to live?
Yellow Brick Road, and all that, eh?
Larry,
Thanks for putting up with all the trolls and providing a sanctuary for people who are fond of reality and truth. You are an honorable and courageous person, and your efforts are much appreciated!
test
i am not waiting for what hillary says tomorrow at her speech. if she throws her support behind obama and starts campaigning for him, i am done with her. what happened to i’m a fighter and not a quitter….if she allows the national negro committee todo what they did to her, she is not what i thought she was. regardless, i am voting against the party and for mccain. i am an american and i recognize tyranny when i see it. hillary will commit political suicide if she doesnt stand up for what i thought were her principals.
we got another Obamabot…
Yes. They don’t understand us Hillary supporters very well. If they did they would not have written that.
Yes, now let’s wait for the companion Obamabutt to come on and yell “you racists.”
They are like spearmint gum, aren’t they?
Wow, the trolls are really getting pathetic.
Gazmulatov, sweetie, is that you?
Guess not. Gaz can spell principles.
Kudos to Juan Williams for calling Obama out on his quid pro quo, weak, and hateful politics–all wrapped under the shiny terms “hope and change”.
But, please, please don’t ever make me listen to another lauded race speech where the puzzle is figuring out what in the hell Obama is saying.
Never have I witnessed incongruent stringings of incoherent pretty words be transformed by the pundits into something beautiful.
Obama takes so much time to say nothing.
marisa — it won’t work. This isn’t the Oprah Winfrey show. Who cares if he was conflicted? He is 47 years old. Most people I know who are 47 are worried about paying their mortgages and keeping their jobs.
Obama wants to be the leader of the free world and he is not even in touch with what’s going on in his own head. BO should pack it up. He only wanted to be Commander in Chief cause its kewl.
I only hope that Oprah the Hutt’s ratings fall so far below, “Celebrity Farting,” and she gets Senator Hope-a-Dope shoved so far up her natural brown ass that she has to go on Jerry Springer and cry to get the whole thing back to where she can get her calls returned from Gary Coleman.
