Meet Democrat Illinois Senator Barack Obama

Obama is Ranked Liberal #1 in the US Senate

The Black/White Controversy

I am very concerned with the developing black/white controversy bubbling within the Democrat Party. Race has become an issue of the race for the Democrat nominee. I do not like it one bit. It hurts America. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are guilty of the infamous tone of the primary contest. We cannot ignore this dangerous development. Shame on the Democrat Party. I have lived through many general elections (*Truman v. Dewey, *Kennedy v. Nixon, *Johnson v. Goldwater, and others). Race was not an issue.

Lamentably, that is not what I am witnessing in the Democrat primary. It is very perturbing. It is hurtful to our politics. It will cascade into the general election.
For example, conservative radio host--Rush Limbaugh--(on 3/18/08) promised to continue playing Reverend Jeramiah Wright's radical rantings to let America know what is going on in black churches. Factually, Obama is getting about 80-90% of the black vote, and Clinton is getting almost 70% of the white vote. (In Pennsylvania, the racial divide is increasing.) Hence, the divide is clear, it is getting fiery, and it is getting ugly. I do not like it. What bothers me the most is that Democrat elders (Carter, [Bill] Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Kennedy, and others) remain on the sidelines--silent, detached. That is shameful.

A Historic Moment--A First!

My readers, we are experimenting a historic moment in American politics: Either a black or a woman will be the Democrat candidate for president, and the oldest candidate will represent the Republican Party. No matter who wins the general election, it will be a first. We should all be happy, joyful, but we are not.
