		<description>I thought Maureen Dowd was the only one who was madly irritated at the mere idea of a Michelle Obama, let alone the real thing existing but now I see all these goats (that&#039;s what I am calling these women who are so committed to the belief that Hillary Clinton is the only ovary who gets to be considered presidential) bleating their brains out about Obama&#039;s real challenge to Hillary&#039;s &#039;rightful&#039; throne.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yep, they are a hateful bunch but I&#039;m glad they are letting the masks drop and showing their true monstrous nature.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And yes..please add this to the Wiki page.  Goat Ferraro deserves it.</description>

		<description>And..Michelle is no damsel in distress.  She doesn&#039;t play victim to get ahead; she doesn&#039;t make deals with men to get power.  Her husband obviously respects her.  She&#039;s gorgeous, confident, accomplished, likable and stylish.  Maybe she does - by her mere existence - make certain people look bad.  She refutes the negative stereotypes of black women.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How swiftly things can reach a critical mass and change!  Many people got comfortable with the social status quo and then BAM!  Even AA&#039;s were taken by surprise.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have to give young people of all races props for being ready though!  They really make me proud.  They were the first ones to hear and respond to Barack&#039;s message.</description>

		<description>Here I had hoped we could avoid the race-baiting, at least in the Democratic primaries.  Her Majesty is now completely off the rails.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I take solace in the fact that she&#039;s getting her rear end kicked all over the country.  I just hope that, in the end, this country reassures me that, as a people, we&#039;re better than this scum.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Otherwise, Christ, I should&#039;ve just stayed in Britain and never have come back.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I&#039;m not surprised at all by Geraldine&#039;s comments, the closer Obama gets to the nominee the more the haters lose their cool.&lt;br/&gt;But here&#039;s a thought: Are these older white women tripping off the fact that Obama&#039;s wife, Michelle could become the most powerful woman in America? Don&#039;t get me wrong there are millions of commendable white people showing Obama love and it feels so good to see that. But the polls show an overwhelming number of older white women voting for HRC. I strongly believe many of these women have a problem with a black woman up in there a white house, a Black 1st Lady is a hard pill for them to swallow.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;society noir,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I think you are on the money. I DO believe they have a WHOLE lotta problems with Michelle. Not only because she&#039;s a Black woman, but because she&#039;s a VISIBLY Black woman. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And, because, Michelle seems so absolutely comfortable in her own skin. She knows who she is and doesn&#039;t shy away from it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So, I definitely believe Michelle freaks them out.</description>

<p>Geraldine Ferraro, April 15, 1988 Washington Post </p>
<p>Placid of demeanor but pointed in his rhetoric, Jackson struck out repeatedly today against those who suggest his race has been an asset in the campaign. President Reagan suggested Tuesday that people don&#8217;t ask Jackson tough questions because of his race. And former representative Geraldine A.

		<description>They are so damaging Obama that when he gets the nomination, he may lose&lt;br/&gt;the general.  And what does the party &lt;br/&gt;leadership say?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;NOTHING so far!</description>

		<description>Do you all believe that this seasoned politician was angry enough to make such a divise statement as the one she made.&lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;NOT, THIS IS A CAMPAIGN STRATEGY and has been I doubt the Clintons and their friends are as racist as they want the base (uneducated working class white folks) to think they are.  The Clinton Campaign does not care if they lose the black vote if through their tactics they can get twice as many angry white folks to take their place.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Each time something clearly playing to race is said, we speak up, the media inflates it and trys to speak our issue as if we are not individuals with our own thoughts and problems with what&#039;s going on, and white America who was either not sure about Senator Obama or on the fence, stand up to defend their own kind.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve said it before, but it bares repeating; shame on the black folks who are involved with the campaign and know what&#039;s really going on. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It is a plan, along with the muslim thing, the Farrakhan thing, the experience thing and so on.  It is also part of the plan to have these same voters that were turned against Mr. Obama in the primary vote against him in a general.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am so sick about the way this race has played out.  Hillary and Bill Clinton have set race relations back in an effort to gain the nomination.  Yet, they say they love this country and have always tried to help blacks.  I guess they wanted to help us until we tried to help ourselves.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Given Mr. Auchi’s shady past, his history of bribing politicians, it’s not unreasonable to ask if Mr. Auchi, through Mr. Rezko, was trying to buy influence with a rising political star.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tue Mar 11, 04:25:00 PM 2008&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nor would it be unreasonable to ask the Clinton&#039;s about the fate of some of their &quot;friends&quot;, employees and associates: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is what happens when you have dirt on Clinton:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1 - James McDougal - Clinton’s convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement.  He was a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2 - Mary Mahoney - A former intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown.  The murder  happened just after she was to go public with her story of sexual  harassment in the White House.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;3 - Vince Foster - Former councelor, and colleague of  Hillary Clinton at Little Rock Rose Law firm.  Died of a gunshot  wound to the head, ruled a suicide.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;4 - Ron Brown - Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman.   Reported to have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist  close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound.  At the time of his death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his  willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;5 - C. Victor Raiser II and Montgomery Raiser, Major players in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;6 - Paul Tulley - Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead in a hotel room in Little Rock, September 1992… Described by Clinton as a “Dear friend and trusted advisor.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;7- Ed Willey - Clinton fund raiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods in of a gunshot wound to the head.  Ruled a suicide.   Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House.  Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;8 - Jerry Parks - Head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team in Little Rock.  Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock.  Park’s son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton.  He allegedly threatened to reveal this information.  After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house. 9 - James Bunch - Died from a gunshot suicide.  It was reported that he had a “Black Book” of people which contained names of  influential people who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;10 - James Wilson - Was found dead in May 1993 from an apparent hanging suicide.  He was reported to have ties to Whitewater.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;11- Kathy Ferguson, ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson, was found dead in May 1994, in her living room with a gunshot to her head.  It was ruled a suicide even though there were several packed suitcases, as if she were going somewhere.  Danny Ferguson was a co-defendant along with Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Kathy Ferguson was a possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;12 - Bill Shelton - Arkansas State Trooper and fiancee of Kathy&lt;br/&gt;Ferguson.  Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiancee, he was found dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the grave site of his fiancee.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;13 - Gandy Baugh - Attorney for Clinton’s friend Dan Lassater, died by jumping out a window of a tall building January, 1994.  His client was a convicted drug distributor.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;14 - Florence Martin - Accountant &amp; sub-contractor for the CIA, was  related to the Barry Seal Mena Airport drug smuggling case.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Given Mr. Auchi’s shady past, his history of bribing politicians, it’s not unreasonable to ask if Mr. Auchi, through Mr. Rezko, was trying to buy influence with a rising political star.</p>
<p>Tue Mar 11, 04:25:00 PM 2008</b></p>
<p>Nor would it be unreasonable to ask the Clinton&#8217;s about the fate of some of their &#8220;friends&#8221;, employees and associates: </p>
<p>This is what happens when you have dirt on Clinton:</p>
<p>1 &#8211; James McDougal &#8211; Clinton’s convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement.  He was a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Mary Mahoney &#8211; A former intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown.  The murder  happened just after she was to go public with her story of sexual  harassment in the White House.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Vince Foster &#8211; Former councelor, and colleague of  Hillary Clinton at Little Rock Rose Law firm.  Died of a gunshot  wound to the head, ruled a suicide.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; Ron Brown &#8211; Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman.   Reported to have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist  close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound.  At the time of his death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his  willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors.</p>
<p>5 &#8211; C. Victor Raiser II and Montgomery Raiser, Major players in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.</p>
<p>6 &#8211; Paul Tulley &#8211; Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead in a hotel room in Little Rock, September 1992… Described by Clinton as a “Dear friend and trusted advisor.”</p>
<p>7- Ed Willey &#8211; Clinton fund raiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods in of a gunshot wound to the head.  Ruled a suicide.   Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House.  Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.</p>
<p>8 &#8211; Jerry Parks &#8211; Head of Clinton’s gubernatorial security team in Little Rock.  Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock.  Park’s son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton.  He allegedly threatened to reveal this information.  After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house. 9 &#8211; James Bunch &#8211; Died from a gunshot suicide.  It was reported that he had a “Black Book” of people which contained names of  influential people who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas.</p>
<p>10 &#8211; James Wilson &#8211; Was found dead in May 1993 from an apparent hanging suicide.  He was reported to have ties to Whitewater.</p>
<p>11- Kathy Ferguson, ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson, was found dead in May 1994, in her living room with a gunshot to her head.  It was ruled a suicide even though there were several packed suitcases, as if she were going somewhere.  Danny Ferguson was a co-defendant along with Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Kathy Ferguson was a possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.</p>
<p>12 &#8211; Bill Shelton &#8211; Arkansas State Trooper and fiancee of Kathy<br />Ferguson.  Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiancee, he was found dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the grave site of his fiancee.</p>
<p>13 &#8211; Gandy Baugh &#8211; Attorney for Clinton’s friend Dan Lassater, died by jumping out a window of a tall building January, 1994.  His client was a convicted drug distributor.</p>
<p>14 &#8211; Florence Martin &#8211; Accountant &#038; sub-contractor for the CIA, was  related to the Barry Seal Mena Airport drug smuggling case.  He died of three gunshot wounds.</p>
<p>15 &#8211; Suzanne Coleman &#8211; Reportedly had an affair with Clinton when he was Arkansas Attorney General.  Died of a gunshot wound to the back of the head, ruled a suicide.  Was pregnant at the time of her death.</p>

		<description>Hi Everyone,&lt;br/&gt;On one hand, I&#039;m sitting here thinking is this more of Billary&#039;s so called &quot;brilliant&quot; strategy? She wants US/Obama/His surruogates to get pissed and demand she denounce/reject whatever Ferraro&#039;s comments. The fact is she CHOSE NOT to be clear in rejection of this racist rhetoric. The only statement thus far from her camp was brief that they &quot;disagreed&quot; with the commments. I think this is again their attempt to do a couple of things (1) remind voters hey this is a NIGRA you is voting for, (2)should he be the nominee, damage him somthing awful by continuing to aid McCain. I mean what else get&#039;s the right wing going more that &quot;affirmative action&quot;.  She already knows she has lost the African American vote in the primary. Pundits are always saying people have short memories in politics so she perhaps she thinks we will vote for her another day, another election (or perhaps her thinking is she does need us, she has the Latino vote).&lt;br/&gt;But yeah, where is so called Black Leadership (where ya at Stephanie Tubbs)?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Lord help me, Pat Buchanan is on right now talking about this.</description>

		<description>I have one question anon 3:17 (who so cowardly can&#039;t reveal his/her name), what does this long ass post about Auchi have to do with Obama?  Am I a criminal, too, because I had Christmas dinner with my convicted felon cousin who was out on parole?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hillary Clinton said she didn&#039;t know Rezko, and a few days later an embarrassing picture of her with Rezko surfaced on the internet.  I take her word, though, that she didn&#039;t know Rezko personally and that she&#039;s taken pictures with thousands of people.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yet, you are trying to tie Obama to this former Ba&#039;athist because Obama was present at a meeting.  What was this meeting?  Was it a fundraiser?  A dinner?  To hear you tell it, the meeting was some sort of Skull and Bones affair.  You&#039;re trying to make a story out of a non-story.  But like I said, that&#039;s what xenophobes and racists do.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A McCain advisor helped Ahmad Chalabi trump up evidence about Iraq&#039;s WMDs in the lead up to the war.  Chalabi, I think, is still wanted by the Jordanian government for some fraud he committed.  But I don&#039;t think McCain can be directly tied to Chalabi because of this.  McCain CAN be tied to corruption, but not through some friend of a friend.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Like I said earlier, we all have done some questionable things and have had shady friends, family members, and associates.  And like I also said, if the only thing you trolls can dig up is Rezko, you&#039;re in some serious f*cking trouble in November because &lt;b&gt; Obama will win&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You can write back whatever b*llsh*t defense you want, but I won&#039;t respond because I&#039;m tired of feeding the trolls.</description>

		<description>The best response is, &quot;this is about equal opportunity.&quot; As people have been saying, the whole purpose of Ferraro&#039;s comment was to provoke others into pointing out that the Clinton campaign is bringing up affirmative action,  thereby introducing it into the discussion while pretending they were just talking about a more general &quot;concept.&quot; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s a trap, and IMO the best way to avoid it is to refuse to engage in a discussion about affirmative action and focus instead on the benefits of equal opportunity. I think it&#039;s a concept most people respond very positively to, and it applies just as much to Clinton&#039;s Yale law degree as it does to Obama&#039;s Harvard law degree.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;d love to see Obama respond by talking up equal opportunity and pointing to all the ways Clinton has benefited from it (along with backhanded praise about how that&#039;s been a good thing), link it to American traditions of fairness and to his personal &quot;only in America&quot; story AND find a way of slipping in a sly reference to how, if Harvard and Yale had started restricting admission only to those students who are actually qualified years before they did, maybe we wouldn&#039;t have been stuck with George W. Bush as president today. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Given how deftly he&#039;s been responding to other attacks recently, I have no doubts he can turn this one around on Clinton too.</description>

		<description>I love how trolls can only sling the Rezko mud at Obama. And they love to do the six degrees of Obama, linking him to some former Ba&#039;athist guy who was associated with Rezko and now lives in England.

We are talking about a very wealthy man(Auchi) with a history of bribing politicans. He lent Rezko $3.5 million dollars, a loan that was later forgiven for a prime slice of Chicago real estate. Rezko gave $700,000 to his wife, who in turn used part of the money to buy Obama a backyard.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;n 2003, Auchi was convicted in France for receiving about $100 million in illegal commissions as part of a scandal involving the French oil giant ELF Aquitane.  The UK Guardian termed the scandal, “the biggest fraud inquiry in Europe since the Second World War.

		<description>The only reason George Washington was the 1st President was because he was a white man. If he&#039;d been oh let&#039;s say Benjamin Banneker or Phillis Wheatley he&#039;d have been frozen in obscure history books.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Seriously, when did America turn into Ghana? Have we forgotten that for the past 230 years the American presidency has been the pedestal of &lt;b&gt;white male privilege&lt;/b&gt;? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Maybe black men should look in the mirror and realize our manhood gives us an advantage at least over black women. However, would these bitter old white feminists like Geraldine Ferraro and Gloria Steinem like to trade places with black men?</description>
