That's a photo of Obama losing a lot of white votes, including mine. There's no excuse for any politician, black or white, to pander to scum like Sharpton.

Barack is right again. "Let's not just single out the rappers...I’ve heard those words around the kitchen tables,” Mr. Obama said, speaking to members of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s group, the National Action Network at its ninth convention. “All of us have been complicit in diminishing ourselves, and engaging in the kind of self hatred that keeps our young men and young women down. That’s something we have to talk about in this election.”

Its cuz he speaks with a certain candidness thats refreshing, and he had a big speech on the national stage at the democratic convention in 04 that really resounded with people. but i agree, he is a junior senator, and unproven. i think he's great, but i have concerns about him as a resilient presidential candidate. "a proper african american?" whats that about? because he's lighter skinned and talks "white"? hm. but i have to say : i go for barack over hillary clinton, any day. please no hillary! actually Dennis Kucinich is my man. check him out.

What is so great about Barack Obama? What has he done that makes him so wonderful, is it just that he's not George Bush or Hilary Clinton? Is that it? I mean the guy isn't even a proper African-American?! Let alone an accomplished statesman.

That is an unfortunate photo of Obama (who is a pretty awesome man). I've said it before and I'll say it right now: Barack the Vote.

As opposed to the Republican party, whose leader Bush basically ignored New Orleans because its poor and black? Not only does Bush not care about black people, conservatives don't either.

Whatever one may think about the Democrats' policies on any other issue, the pandering to a slime ball like Sharpton shows that, on race relations, they just don't care enough to be serious.

i saw this and it made me sick. First, these guys pandering to sharpton who does not represent the community and second the way obama suddenly turned on an urban accent and tried to get folksy. does he take us for fools?
