Bill Clinton. We've been calling him that for years. He's apparently been hearing it. Because he has approached his campaign against Barack Obama in the manner of a person who has no fears of being misunderstood and slapped with a race card violation . Now he is accused of just such an offense. Maybe he got too familiar and forgot to respect the painful lens through which African Americans often hear criticism. Or maybe he knew he was flirting with danger, but felt he was well enough loved to be given a pass. Or, and this is radical, maybe he was battling an opponent without regard to ethnicity , not as a Black contender around whom he must tread carefully so as not to stir up any thoughts of race. But surely Bill Clinton is savvy enough to realize that the race card is always hovering above the table, if not actually in play. Perhaps it was a calculated tip of the hand to remind voters of the pitfalls that await a Black candidate, if not to remind them that Obama is African American. Whatever his intentions, Bill Clinton has been branded as the campaign criminal who "injected Race into the race" , so everthing he says and does might now be judged with a pre-concieved bias instead of on it's merits. Maybe he really is Black.

People don't talk much about the fact that more Black men went to jail than college under the Clinton administration.

We don't need a black president and we sure don't need a woman either. We need the people to wake up and smell the coffee. If either one gets into the White House we are all screwed..

Look at these two idiots arguing like children in the debates. They both need to grow up before going any further. As for the racial issue, lets see who started this crap. Oprah Winfrey and Obama started this. Everyone knows what a racist that Oprah is, and soon as she found out about Obama she jumped to support him because of the color of his skin. She can claim that's not the truth but we all know she's full of crap.

And why would I want to vote for Hitlary, I would not even if you tried to pay me, because she just wants to wear the pants in her family and get back at Bill for what he did with Monica. What the hell does she know about running a country, she only knows how to ruin it along with Obama.


People wake up and smell the coffee, DON"T vote because of race or sex, simply vote because you want to and you feel that person will do the job and help the country. But we all know all politicians are full of BS and lie through thier teeth to get what they want.

I would like to know why only rich people can run for president and not the average American that works every day to make a living?

Let me run for president and I will run the country the American way not the politicians way! I wouldn't need to stuff money in my pockets to get rich off of tax payers either.

Do the right thing....

>>>>DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA OR HILLARY

OH COME OFF IT !!!!
A woman can run this country as well as a man can. Just because a man is black doesn't mean he would not make a good president. Truthfully I am not in favor of Clinton or Obama but it is not because she is a woman and he is a black man. Maybe if you people would stop all of this nonsense the American public would have a chance of getting to know the candidates better. Let's see who started this crap? Who knows! But some of you people are good at keeping it stirred up !

Hey Robin, Would you please speak to mrcrab's good comment about Oprah. I bet you will not. Any takers? I know you want to stick to the issue of Clinton. We all know he is a slime ball. And I'm sure if you pulled Hill's pants down we would see what he has always been missing. BUT, if you are going to open this up, I say yes Robin, you are right about ol Billy, so now lets see what you think about Opra. Then let's move to something more important. Most of the media, excluding Fox is liberal. No question about it. It's fact. But, we all are asking why is this. What is going on. I get email almost every day that starts out, " You won't see this reported in the media". I'm sorry, but to me, it's discrimination. This type of discriminatory reporting is more evil and damaging than anything Billy says. It is playing pied piper and I hate it!

Robin,

With a due respect I would disagree with you. When Constitution was written, I am pretty sure they meant that "American Citizen" that can be a President, has his roots in America. Obama's roots are in Kenya, his family, his pretty "dress" and his traditions. When he went to Kenya as US Senator, he referenced few times that he is "retracing steps of his father" I will never vote for such person, because his interests are split and pressure (family, tradition, etc) may impair his judgement as President. This is the major reason I would never cast my vote for him, we need a President that has this Country, not any other but this, as his Homeland, Fatherland and Motherland.

Aleks your an idiot. NO AMERICAN EXCEPT NATIVE AMERICANS ARE TRUE AMERICAN CITIZENS. SO FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING BAD IS AN UNEDUCATED RESPONSE JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WANTED TO SEE WHERE HE CAME FROM . LAST TIME I CHECKED EUROPEANS WERE FROM EUROPE. SO WHAT ROOTS ARE YOU TAlkING ABOUT. ALSO LAST TIME I CHECKED SCIENCE THE OLDEST PERSON FOUND WAS FROM AFRICA. I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE YOUR 17 LIKE ME OR I CAN CONSIDER YOU UNEDUCATED GARBAGE.

Little ChukukaOgude may I ask how far is your head stuck up between your legs? All the politicians are greedy nasty theifs and they can care less about you or I. All they care about is how rich they can get off the tax payers dollar so wake up and smell the coffee.

Look how many homes are being foreclosed thanks to our government. The government is made up of all the political theifs.

Robin, you've always seemed to be a level-headed person. Your comments on Bill Clinton being black are ludicrous. Mark_Allen told the truth, more black people went to jail from the racist legislation signed into law by Bill Clinton than ever. Some of the laws were then fought all the way to the Supreme Court to get them repealed. That and the NAFTA bill = stupid and supremist. McCrab - Oprah encouraged Obama to run for president not the way you detailed it. All politicians are not greedy, thieves. To all- civilization started in Africa - everyone has African ancestors.

ChukukaOgude,
The way you write, you would be the probably the last person on the face of this planet that can teach anything to anybody, most likely including not to pee on your own sandwitch while eating. Native indians, my dear professor, also came to this continent some time ago. Europeans established this country, laws and this was point of no return. Obama, my dear genius, is NOT by any means attached to United States of America, mainly because of his roots. Just having Mother that was US citizen is not enough. If you don't grow in the certain culture, and in addition change religion midway your life, it is not right. By the way, the way you sound almost like you are descendednt of Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull as a minimum, or streight from Afrika?

Hey valentine, What are your thought's on President Johnson?
Why should we listen to Oprah? What makes her an expert authority on candidates and what is best for the country? I see her as a good entertainer. I have seen her support some good causes. But lets get right down to the meat here. What stood out about Obama that made her jump on his band wagon. I know, she did her research, looked at the voting record, looked at the issues, studied the platforms, experience, and qualifications, and said, "Obama is the best". I bet you did the same, right? I can tell your a fair guy.

Johnson was an underdog and ocntinued the work of the Kennedys' Civil Rights legislation. Aleks and McCrab, the Europeans established this country because noone else could survive the rampant diseases, the constantly warring tribes of Indians. The Europeans had their African allies, later to become their slaves by being outnumbered by Europeans trying to reduce their crime rate by shipping criminals to this god-forsaken place. They survived first with vacinnations against disease taught them by one slave named Onessimus. Other contributions blacks made to this society are celebrated every February, AA History month. Africans hailed from an obviosuly advanced society and they shared their knowledge with the Europ[eans.. Of course they did not share these findings with Native Americans, who soon became "endangered" and were overcome too because of the sheer number of Europeans. Stop patting yourself on the back and spreading untruths. Aleks & Mccrab why do you reference to your private parts and bodily functions so often - you both sound sick. liftstation, I am a woman. Thanks, its good to hear someone say "I am fair". Its apparent you are fair too.

Please schedule crash course in American History, as soon as humanly possible.
Now, indians lost and they were not the first ones, it happen before when different civilizations lost to because they were outnumbered (mongol and german invasions) or because attackers were better educated, more advanced thus better equipped. But to know this, you would need to schedule "Ancient History" course and similar.
Also, if you don't mind, please explain what it means "africans hailed from and obviously advanced society and they shared their knowledge with the Europeans", what knowledge? some examples if possible.
Oprah is in entertainment and she should keep her preferences to herself. And as I said before, there are no obvious candidates this election, but Obama is the least qualified and the least attached to this country, maybe his fatherland is in Kenya but USA is not Kenya.

One important medical procedure saved the colonists from certain extinction, vacinnation. When a smallpox epidemic started in the early 1700's* with a death rate of 1 in twelve, Onessimus - named by his master, Cotton Mather, shared the African procedure of innoculation with him. The death rate dropped to 1 in 40. Native Americans continued to perish without this important information. Other would be settlers, withdrew their claims and fled "this place of disease and wars" preferring their own homeland to "this vast wasteland." Many of the Colonists who settled here were convicts, some convicted to years in inhumane prisons for petty offenses. They choose to immigrate here as their only chance to avoid years in prison and an uncertainty of release from jail before they perished. *Geneology searches dating back to this era verify these dates and occurences as correct.

Hey valentinemartin!

To your remark about "To all- civilization started in Africa - everyone has African ancestors." Well guess what? This is not Africa this is the United States...
Obama does not belong here and he should put his rags back on and take his ugly mug back to his country Kenya and stay there..Look who is voting for him.. African Americans, not WHITE Americans!

The latest scam that this racist pig is pulling is twisting words around that a White American woman said, trying to make it look like Clinton had something to do with it. When in fact his own staff did it to make him look better to get votes.

Obama has to use racism to get votes just like the African Americans use to get jobs and win lawsuits..

So, as we can see one of the black ministers, "mentor and teacher for Obama" is saying that Obama would know what to do during presidency (if he is elected) because he comes from people that were opressed by "white, rich men". Not bad, this is a proof that all this is "in your face white America", no values, no goals, no plans, just some type of revenge and line for handouts? Maybe that type of ministers are waiting for such president to reniew "reparitions"? Oh how pathetic all this is, in mean time Russia is regaining its strength and agression, and China is lending money to US so there could be handouts later on (stimulus package). I can onlu imagine what is happening in other black churches, let alone Kenya.
