I would also vote for him just because he is black, Hillary has said who would have thought a woman would be in her position. That is sexist. if Obama used the who would have thought an African American comment?? He would be labled as playing the race card. How is this different. How many times in her speeches has she called his name (5,000,000,000) every sentence out of her mouth ends with what Barack Obama said. Just tell us what YOU say. I have no doubt that Hillary wants to be Preident, but I do doubt that she is interested in changing things for poor people. She has a net worth of over $50,000,000.00 do you really think she will worry about her children and grandchildren having health care, and money for collee and food, jobs and a place to live that is gun and drug free. Will her parents end up in a nursing home where they are abused. I feel she will say anything just to win. She comes off as a fake. Barak reminds me of John Kennedy, i like his youth and calmness it so real to me, He will be surrounded by many smart caring people like himself. Who will surround Hillary....... The same Good Old guys. Lets get real to be mean is not the same as to be tough. to be mean is not to care. Let's change our mind about how we treat people starting today.

Lanny will do anything and say anything for Hill and Bill. The Clintons were not preapred for the on surge of Obama campaign. They thought he would go along for the ride until super tuesday and they would walk over his dead campaign to the white house. Never before have the Clintons reached across to a person, of color, it has always been the downward motion. But, hot Obama did stay in their, Clintons, race, he has actually beat them at their very old 35yrs, game. What else was left for them to do. Give me a break.

The old saying, "You can't see the forrest for the trees," is true. Well Lanny, you tried.

The genesis of the race card issue was injected by Mr. Clinton in his vociferous denial that he made the Jesse Jackson statement. This was (of course) a lie on his part and also the first time the "race card" phrase was uttered. If you are referring to general issues of race having been raised in this campaign, your references certainly leave out the most important race aspect raised in this election: the Reverend Wright comments and media interpretation of how "black people" talk in "black churches." Of course those don't support your argument so they're conveniently ignored. Whew, that was a lot of hoe for not much row.

People all have some kind of problems, whether we like them or not, and Jesus, says don't throw stones, especially if you your own home isn't clean. And I have heard you ask over and over why did he stay in the church, and he has said because of all the good things the church has done for others. Going to church is not only to hear a pastor speech, it is what you can do for others on the outside. And I will also say this to you, Hillary has shown that she will do whatever she has to, to win, even if that means telling a few lies, and I want you to know this I like Hillary and my heart went out to her and her daughter when Bill was doing wrong, and I when it was all said and down, my heart went to to the whole family,and I prayed that people wouldn't put him down for what he did to his family and from what I could see they didn't.
