    We all know that Barack Obama has the success he has because he's black.
    There's nothing racial here.
    Obama white, and he wouldn't have the same success...
    So why should she quit in a country where there is 'liberty and justice for all'?

    she had to quit because what she said was politically incorrect, although this would be usually a wrong approach but here is very appropriate since we are talking politics

    Someone makes an accurate observation about Obama and resigns, yet Bush and his scumbag neocon cohawks are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people yet they are still in power.

    You do the math. :eek:

    IMHO this is an accurate statement. Pity that she had to quit for saying something that everyone can observe, just that no one voiced it. As pizzaman said it is politically incorrect, true but it is factually accurate.

    but we are deciding a political party nominee with the ultimate goal of wining the election. being politically correct is 100% required at this time.

    Sure Obama is playing up that he is of African descent. But an Italian and Irishman would do the same thing to win primaries.

    You could make the same argument that Hillary is where she's at because she's female. Or more accurately because she's the wife of a popular former president. That wouldn't be a kosher thing for someone from the Obama campaign to say either. And they don't. Because they appear to have a lot more class than the Clinton people do.

    Why is George W. Bush where he is? Because he's a privileged son of a president and the grand son of a Senator.

    I think this is a more accurate reason for why Obama is where he's at.

    Obama has more integrity and wisdom in his pinky finger than do Clinton and McCain combined in their whole bodies.

    Do you really think that Obama will remove the troops should he get elected?

    I will take a bet at any money that he will not.

    Obama is the least dangerous of all three candidates but he is still a puppet and will do exactly what he is told to do should he get the call.

    Initially he is clear on his message that he will, but as the election progresses, it seemed that the message got less and less clearer. So I do not really know what is his official stand now.

    He will not, after all the BS and the lives lost for the USA to effectively take control of a very oil rich country in the Middle East by appointing a puppet Government in Iraq there is no way in the world that the USA will be leaving Iraq. Not a chance at all mate.

    Well I think pretty much every prediction he made in 2002 about Iraq has turned out to be correct. So I trust his judgment far more than I do McCain and Clinton when it comes to where & when to use (and not use) our military in the future. "Experience" doesn't necessarily bring wisdom and those 2 (particularly McCain) prove that point well.

    Being politically correct has turned the U.S into a nation of pussies. And I live there.

    I agree with her statement, too bad she had to step down for the truth, even if the truth isn't classy

    I honestly do not see anything wrong, he is a black man, I say he is a black man, if he is white, I say he is white, if he is green, I say it is green. It is a matter of fact. Somehow they had to politicized it. Taking political correctness a step too far. I remembered the last Christmas, Australia Santa Claus was allowed to say "He He He" and not "Ho Ho Ho" for some politically correctness issues.

    I don't think its about calling him black but saying that the reason he is in that position is because he is black which is sort of right since Rev Sharpton ran in 2004 and didn't do anywhere near as good as well. If Obama was a white guy that spoke well he might of not had all the media attention that he received.

    He's a complete fraud but the Yanks love a bit of the old Razzamatazz and this guy fits the bill perfectly. The "change" mantra is getting tedious already. :rolleyes:

    Having said that Ronald McDonald would be equally as good a President, for what it's worth.

    Political Correctness is bullshit plain and simple. I will never change my position on that and I will never be politically correct. That damn Obama is 2 face and crooked just like every other politician in the world. The only difference in this presidential race is his face is black. Frankly not one of these candidates I would want for president.

    Of course Obama has huge backing from black American's. LOLOLOL... You goof balls!!! Get used to it. Doesn't take away from his message, (whatever the heck that is) anymore than McCain's being white takes away from his message (whatever the heck it is) because he is white. This is politics. Give it up. Do you think white America has been voting for the best candidate all these years based on his/her politics?????

    G-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROW UP!!!

    Sour apples.

    It's sad that nowadays people vote based on how much they like a candidate instead of how much they like their ideas.

    Obama is just ideas, and to be honest, not very clear either. Just look at the troops in Irak. He started out stating the need for a withdrawal ASAP, now it's not so clear when they would come home.

    I'm sure that the next president would not withdraw the troops since vistory is in the air, and, sorry for all the Pakis, terrorists are moving to Pakistan, much weaker than Irak apparently.

    Obama would NOT withdraw the troops soon, but he's raking votes implying that he is going to.

    Just running for power with no constructive ideas...
