This is my comment on John Ridley 's Obama's Struggle With Typical Liberal Hypocrisy Political hypocrisy plagues American democracy. Barack Obama cannot please everybody. If Obama fails to win the nomination and the presidential election, the so-called American Liberals will be the Judas of his betrayal. What has made Barack Obama so successful so far is not his animated amplification of the politiical sound bites of his political spin doctors, but the big budget of his sponsors who used their mainstream media and proxies in the social network sites to launch their vicious campaign of calumny against the Clintons and maligned them so badly that they have done more harm than good to the Democratic Party in the long run of the presidential campaign. If the Clintons and their millions of supporters turn against Barack Obama and his sponsors in the presidential election, do not blame the Clintons. Most of those endorsing Barack Obama are doing so to spite the Clintons and have not ...

United Steelworkers. (PRNewsFoto/United Steelworkers) PITTSBURGH, PA UNITED STATES 01/31/2008 15 May 2008 15:00 Africa/Lagos United Steelworkers Endorse Senator Barack Obama for President Join John Edwards in Growing Wave of Support PITTSBURGH, May 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United Steelworkers today issued the following statement of endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President: "When the presidential primary contests began last year, our Union felt strongly that because of Senator John Edwards's deep commitment to working people and because of our shared beliefs, he deserved our strong endorsement. His belief that unfair trade policies must be changed, his commitment to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) to restore workers' rights to freely choose workplace representation, and his proposal for universal health care were widely shared by our members. Senator Barack Obama "Today, by virtue of a unanimous vote of our International Executive Board, we f...

Senator John Edwards' endorsement is like a pat on the back of Senator Barack Obama, because even heaven knows that Obama is winning the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party and does not need the help of John Edwards to get it. The support of John Edwards will not do much for Barack Obama in the presidential election and Senator John McCain can even beat Barack Obama in North Carolina, the home state of John Edwards. I am sure, Senator Hillary Clinton is not fazed by John Edwards' endorsement of Barack Obama. She is determined to continue her race for the Democratic nomination to the Convention. I believe the pledged delegates and super delegates will decide who is the better presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.

The hallmarks of leadership are not judged by political stump speeches or designer suits, but by the demonstration of bravery and wisdom in the service of humanity. I have noticed undemocratic political rancor among the Democrats and I am disappointed that Senator Barack Obama is acting more like a Republican in his press statements and his wife Michelle Obama has been using subtle tirade against Senator Hillary Clinton. The Obamas’ look more desperate than the Clintons, because they have staked so much on winning the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party and losing it could be devastating to their egos. Barack Obama does not want to contest for the presidency when he is over 50 years, because his egocentric ambition is to become the first “Black” President of America before he clocks 50 and he is most likely to give up if he fails to make it in 2008. I am impressed by the spirit of endurance of Senator John McCain who has not given up since he lost in 2000 and 2004 and eve...

Toni Morrison, African American Nobel Laureate in Literature "Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war." ~ Toni Morrison Dear Toni Morrison, The fundamental existence of the African American can only be defined by the African American experience from generation to generation and not by political stump speeches without substance and without experience. The only difference between Senator Barack Obama and former Senator John Edwards is the color of their skin. Have you read the letter Martin Luther King, III , sent to Hon. John Edwards? The brilliant recitation of paraphrased quotes is not the evidence of intelligence or wisdom, but the clever display of the gift of the gab. "Politicians of the new generation are carefully coached by their spin doctors to produce on-demand sound bites which are clear and to the point." ~ Wikipedia I know that you know nothing more about Barack Obama than his well rehearsed and ...

Attention: The State Editorial Board Re: The State editorial board's Democratic Presidential Primary Endorsement of Senator Barack Obama Senator Barack Obama May I disagree with your endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for the South Carolina Democratic Primary, because Senator Barack Obama is not the Democrat most likely to unify America. If you are really honest and transparent in your editorial board’s decision, you would have endorsed former Senator John Edwards, who is indeed the most likely Democrat to unite the United States of America across social and political dichotomies. You failed to address the questionable statesmanship of Senator Barack Obama. Barack Obama has been economical with the facts of his life, and untruthful as the following references confirm. 1. Obama and Rezko have been friends since 1990, and the Wilmette businessman has raised as much as $60,000 in campaign contributions for him. ~ Sun Times 2. Shipjack wrote a comprehensive article posted on the Dail...

Beyond Nevada: Beware of Barack Obama « on: Today at 06:13:31 AM » “¿Cómo-Se-Llama?” or “What’s-His-Name?,” ~ Dolores Huerta, farm-worker heroine whilst talking to reporters why the Latinos supported Hillary Clinton to win the Nevada Caucuses Saturday, January 19, 2007. Hillary Clinton won and she was quite humble about it. Barack Obama is a bad loser. I doubt whether he is truly a Democrat or just trying to take the Democrats for a ride to fulfill his ego-centric African American Dream to become the first black president of the United States. He lies that he is a "Uniter", but was privy to a Memo to blackmail the Clintons as "racist" in South Carolina and has divided the Democratic Party into blacks for Obama and blacks against the Clintons. I am a black African and I read the malicious Memo, signed by the Obama camp in South Carolina. They even lied that Bill Clinton was disrespecting Nelson Mandela of South Africa. I was involved in the mobilization of the Africa...
