link to Obama speech today at Ebenezer Baptist Church

Words do matter

do what you will but in the interest of accuracy:

Sen Obama's mother died in 1995. That would make him 34 years old at the time. He was sent to Hawaii, by his mother, when he was 10 to live with his grandparents for better educational opportunities.(att: army mom)

Norman Hsu - on the way to jail for fraud (defrauding investors of $60 million) - bundled $850,000 to Sen Clinton's campaign this year. Sen Clinton said she would return the money or donate to charity (att: nurse ratchet)

On MTP this morning Jon Meecham, editor of Newsweek said the one thing that unites the Republican field is "Hillary Clinton" (att: footballfan)

Att: Patty Darling -- not sure what "Dreams of my Father you read" but the actual book said:
(a) Barack Obama Sr (the sen father) was a Harvard Educated economist from Kenya
(b) His parents met when they were both students at the East-West Center (your chronology is off on everything)
(c) His father was a declared aetheist, his mother saw herself as "spititual" and while born a Christian - as many free spirits looked at many religions. Obama's grandparents who raised him were Christain
(d) Obama was raised as a Christian since he was 10 years old, he joined the First Trinity Church in Chicago when he moved to Chicago in 1991
(e) Yes he partied when he first got to College - he must be the only person that ever did that!
He transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University as a Junior - partially to get away from the party scene he got himself into
(f) yes he did inhale - as a teenager/noted above
(g) The Flag Protection Act was in 1989. I would guess IF Obama was able to vote on it, he would have voted against it (which (like it or not) violated the Bill of Rights. As a constitutional attorney, Obama is a staunch defender of the Bill of Rights.
The Senators who actually did vote against the Flag Protection Act were Democrats: Biden, Kennedy, Moynihan, (Bob) Kerrey, Chaffee, Humphrey, Metzenbaum as well as Republicans: Dole, Hatch, Grassley.

In 2000, also before Obama was in the Senate - Senators Conrad & Dorgan tried to bring up the Flag Amendment again - but it did not go anywhere.

In 2006, for a last time, this issue was brought up again: attached is link for all info

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?tit...

People like Sen Inouye who lost an arm in WWII voted against this (as Sen Obama did)
(h) yes he is against guns on the street - NOT guns for hunting (the position of most Americans)
(i) yes he is against the death penalty (proven to be unfairly waited against people of color)

Do your research people -- then make a choice
You may still feel as you do - but at least fo the research

people longing for Bill Clinton to be president again need to think twice --

Bill Clinton presided over a terrific economy not the least of which was because of the advent of the internet and that impact on the US ecomony

That's not going to happen again -

Also: if will never be before 9/11 again -- the world is different.

You can say this is a generational divide, you can say it is a racial divide - I submit it is an intellectual divide

Team Clinton thinks they can twist and change the argument to suit them wherever they are an who ever the audience is - and sad to say there is some evidence that is working

I am over 50 and a woman and I support Barack Obama. Partially because I want my children to grow in a less divisive world where truth matters. Where ideas matter. Where we can travel abroad and be proud to be American again. Where we have a president who has sound judgement and gets it right the first time.

Where we know our country can do better than having presidents from only two families for decades.

That's my dream

That's my dream

The Union supported the future --
The result proves they did not strong arm people and let their people caucus as they would

They were likely very disappointed with the CW turn out and they started late with their endorsement

But the CW leaders are no match to former President Bill Clinton walking into caucus rooms (he is a rock star) and through kitchens etc

And obviously this was a huge factor as Pres Clinton just announced he will go church to church in S Carolina to convince African Americans to vote for Hillary

No matter what they do - this is not a third term for President Clinton --

buyers remorse will be too late for the country to turn the page

The CW leaders should be proud - they chose the future -- too bad the women (which I am as well) and the older voters (which I also am) chose the past

Obama won 13 delegates - Hillary Clinton won 12
As Howard Wolfson said "it's all about delegates"
