For Isaac, I understand the posting of "Black and Proud" as his message is simply relaying what he feels like in this world we all live in, but unbeknownst to him, white people experience the same inequities due to socioeconomic status. For those critiquing Senator Obama so harshly for his Muslim teachings as well as Rev. Wright, take a long hard look at the many religions. We have millions of Christians devout in their religion knowing that there are priests who have contributed to child abuse and ministers who have mistresses. Muslims and Christians sometimes appear radical in their beliefs. This election should not be based on party but on humanity and what is good for all people. For eight years, we have been in Iraq, lives wasted, our economy suffers, and those in charge appear to be above the law. A vote for McCain merely reinforces our current situation. Challenge one another not to dwell in the past but look to the future where we become one proud people, AMERICANS.

BillB, watch Fahrenheit 9/11 he twiddled his thumbs like curious george the oddly similar looking monkiy of the same name. Few argue Bush dropped the ball on N.O. Are you one of the supporters?

I'm confused. The email i got said Obama was Muslim. Now people are claiming he attends a Christian church and something about a preacher. I'm guessing this is all lies to hurt his chances of winning. Come with me and we'll get him elected and not listen to these hate mongers who don't interact with people of other races. Hillary has jowls for cheeks. I want a hot prez.
