		<description>Could somebody please tell me why people on this board have seemingly endorsed Obama?  What makes him any different than any other politician because I just can&#039;t see it.  You guys have placed so much faith in Obama and I feel that is dangerous because one should always have a healthy mistrust of all politicians because well, they are politicians.</description>

		<description>Ms. Martin,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here&#039;s Eugene Robinson from tonight:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt; Olbermann:Some snark is included in this question, but, as an African-American male, can you tell us all about the advantage you&#039;ve had in life, that&#039;s given you a 90-10 advantage against any White man or woman against whom you&#039;ve had to compete.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Robinson: How many more segments do we have? I don&#039;t know if we have the time tonight to go through all of them...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;all the kind of fresh air and exercise you get late at night when cabs don&#039;t pick you up...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;all the personal shopper attention you get in department stores because security personnel are nice enough to follow you around...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;the list is almost endless, Keith..&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and I think we&#039;re going to have to do a one hour special on all the great advantages of being born a Black man in America...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Robinson ends by saying that there is one great advantage of being a Black man in America - how people underestimate him. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot; If I were Barack Obama...keep underestimating me.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You tell &#039;em, Eugene.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ms. Martin,</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s Eugene Robinson from tonight:</p>
<p><i> Olbermann:Some snark is included in this question, but, as an African-American male, can you tell us all about the advantage you&#8217;ve had in life, that&#8217;s given you a 90-10 advantage against any White man or woman against whom you&#8217;ve had to compete.</p>
<p>Robinson: How many more segments do we have? I don&#8217;t know if we have the time tonight to go through all of them&#8230;</p>
<p>all the kind of fresh air and exercise you get late at night when cabs don&#8217;t pick you up&#8230;</p>
<p>all the personal shopper attention you get in department stores because security personnel are nice enough to follow you around&#8230;</p>
<p>the list is almost endless, Keith..</p>
<p>and I think we&#8217;re going to have to do a one hour special on all the great advantages of being born a Black man in America&#8230;</i></p>
<p>Robinson ends by saying that there is one great advantage of being a Black man in America &#8211; how people underestimate him. </p>
<p>&#8221; If I were Barack Obama&#8230;keep underestimating me.&#8221;</p>
<p>You tell &#8216;em, Eugene.</p>

		<description>I don&#039;t even have to have seen Larry King to know that if Nutter was on, he was saying something ridiculous as an Uncle Ruckus for HIllary - he always does. And he ALWAYS goes personal against Barack.</description>

		<description>Truthseeker:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I felt that too! Nutter seems to always have an attitude when someone speaks about or in defense of Obama.  He even commented to the woman who said she had lived in Pennsylvania all her life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am tired of watching Kiki grin while someone&#039;s making a point about Obama.</description>

		<description>Jamaal on Larry King made a really great point re the &quot;elitist&quot; attacks.  He said Barack has done everything expected of him..studied hard, gave back to his community and yet the Clinton campaign was calling him elitist.  He went on to say it wasn&#039;t good for our children to get that message when we&#039;re trying to get them to do the right things.  It was an excellent point, and Nutter jumped in and gave a ridiculous non-answer ending with this is a campaign and things are said.  He couldn&#039;t allow the point to stand.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It was clear there was a little rivalry between him and Jamaal, with Nutter&#039;s responses taking on a jeering quality.</description>

		<description>Sometimes Black people are just hilarious. Did anyone catch Eugene Robinson on Countdown tonight? He had me LMAO when he went through his list of all the &#039;blessings&#039; of being a Black Man in America. It was frigging hilarious, and sometimes, you can make a point, with his laid back, almost jovial style...it was harsh, and I wonder if the White audience knew just how biting Robinson was being. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I rewound it a couple of times because it just cracked me up.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;i&gt;We&#039;ll have to do an hour special, Keith, on all the ADVANTAGES of being born a Black Man in America&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA</description>

		<description>From: BLACKS4BARACK.org&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hillary/Media&#039;s &#039;bitter&#039; tactic against Obama desperately PITIFUL ! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here we go again ! When the campaign started in 2007 Obama was said to have not been &#039;black enough&#039; as per the media as they touted Hillary&#039;s 82% support from Black Americans. The Clinton camp scrounged and dug as deeply as they could to find some kind....ANY kind of smut they could use against Obama, even searching as far back as his kindergarten writings. Couldn&#039;t find a thing. Then as Americans of all races learned more about the real Clintons, while learning more about the great qualities and capabilities of Obama, the inevitable was no more. So the Clintons (and the media) decided if they couldn&#039;t find anything negative on Obama, why not search through video tapes of Obama&#039;s preacher. Yea ! That&#039;s the ticket. So they scrounged and searched through years and years of video taped sermons and found a few somewhat harsh statements from the preacher....looped them all together....played them on the news 1 or 2 million times, in hopes that they could paint Obama as this anti-American-black militant type person....exactly what he is not (maybe they forgot he&#039;s also half white). But, polls showed their masterminded plot to be ineffective. Now what ? Ahhhhh. Obama makes a statement discussing how many Americans are fed up with government failures and are &#039;bitter&#039;. The Clintons....McCain....the media....ALL decide....here&#039;s something we can jump on top of.....Obama called Americans &#039;bitter&#039; ! So he&#039;s an elitist out of touch with real America!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is the weakest attempt so far. How in the world can they try to claim that a little black boy who&#039;s father left at age 2....raised by a single white mother...so broke at times that she was on food stamps....a boy who grew up and went to college through grants and scholarships....riding to school daily in a ragedy jalopy.....just recently paying off his student loans thanks to proceeds from a book he wrote....(entitled &#039;The Audacity of HOPE&#039;) who&#039;s entire life has been devoted to helping the disadvantaged....the poor....sick....the struggling....THIS IS AN ELITIST ? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hillary, McCain and the entire media should be ashamed of themselves for this weak, pitiful attempt to literally make-up truth. They should be concentrating on REAL facts such as the 109 million the Clintons have made during the last few years...or the 300 mill McCain&#039;s wife is worth.....or what about Hillary&#039;s secret religion known as &#039;The Family&#039; which CNN didn&#039;t ask a single question about in the so-called religious forum...or what about her election fraud case going on right now in California? Did we mention McCain&#039;s wife&#039;s stealing of drugs and her rehab stint ? There&#039;s so much more....it&#039;s pitiful !&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The fact is.....Obama is about as elitist as Hillary ducked sniper fire in Bosnia....Stay focused people. They are all (Hillary, McCain and the media) getting more and more desperate everyday. That&#039;s a real good sign ! &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Greg Jones&lt;br/&gt;Visit: BLACKS4BARACK.org (Official Site)</description>

		<description>Obama is careful not attack Clinton because he will have the unenviable task of uniting the party after this nasty battle. There are hard core dems who are pissed and if he is viewed as piling it on HRC, they will either stay home or flock to McCain. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And he needs them to win.</description>

		<description>I want to know why people (particuraly Black people) have so much faith in Obama?  From my POV he is just another politician.  I refuse to put so much faith in a politician because we have been bamboozled in the past so many times and I am getting the feeling that we are just setting ourselves up once again.</description>

		<description>I love Rachel Maddow.  I know whenever she analyzes something she will tell the truth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She messed up the fun fest they were having about &quot;bitter&quot; with the truth.  Joe Scarborough would have shot her had he had a gun.</description>

		<description>Obama will be on Real Sports with Gumble tonight also.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I saw Colbert on Larry King last night.  His jokes about Hillary were hillarious.  He said while Obama&#039;s at the podium accepting the nomination Hillary will bust through his chest like Alien to steal it away. ILMAO.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He also said she could never be to injured to accept the nomination - if she were missing all limbs, she would use her stomach muscles to propel herself foward to accept the nomination.</description>

		<description>How the traditional media and citizens are not giving enough attention to the Bush administration approval of torture, violating the Geneva Convention and Habeas Corpus. Also of course the fact that Congress did nothing to stop this save Barbara Lee. That means the Democrats are equally responsible for this mess we are in - and the we the people did nothing!</description>

		<description>Truthseeker/Craig Hickman,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m with you...sometimes I want Barack to come out and attack her back with the same tools that she uses against him. But he knows he has to be careful if he wants HER supporters in the general. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don&#039;t think I ever disliked someone so much...until this primary season.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;PTCruiser said... &lt;br/&gt;Rik -&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Did you see Bob Johnson&#039;s latest kneegrow eruption about Obama in the Charlotte Observer?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yep.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s almost scary to think of Uncle Ruckus with a billion dollars, but here it is in real life. Makes me shudder with disgust. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What color is his jockey suit? I think hot pink would go well with his skin tone.</description>
