Quote of The Day
Posted by Bossip Staff
Bill Clinton, AKA Slick Willy, continues to play the race card against Obama:
“As far as I can tell, neither Senator Obama nor Hillary have lost votes because of their race or gender,” he said. “They are getting votes, to be sure, because of their race or gender — that’s why people tell me Hillary doesn’t have a chance of winning here.”
Obama has lost votes since the shady Clintons started their “down low” racial baiting.
According to a recent poll, Obama is leading Clinton in S.C. and Florida. It looks like rounding up all those old-time chittlin’ civil rights negroes in S.C. is not working for the Clintons.

I’m starting to get really TIRED of the race/gender issues. Please discuss how you plan on helping this country get OUT of debt, the poor, homeless, jobless…..etc…etc
I’m surprised she didn’t do that whole “I ain’t no ways tired” speech that she did when she was in Selma. Both of those Clintons are shady as all get out.
I will be taking to the streets over the next two weeks going door to door on foot with baby in stroller for OBAMA 2008!
OBAMA is a man and President my child can look up to!
The power of prayer has been the black mother’s gift since the dawn of time. Please let us black mothers and people pray for Obama, for his strength, for his continued success.
Pray for this faithful husband devoted father tireless community organizer and dignified presidential candidate as he ushers in a NEW DAY for ALL of us on his journey to the White House. YES HE CAN!
OBAMA 2008!
Umm, Obama’s winning the African American vote not the white vote. African Americans make up half of the population and are not the majority. Whites give Obama only 10% of their votes, with Edwards currently in the lead and Hilary in second.
Not that polls are accurate anyway.

African Americans make up 12% of the population. get your facts right!
@lovely and amazing
You better not touch my door, I will stick my fingers on your behind.
Why does Bossip *****ume that the Clintons are racist. It’s one thing to show support for Obama it’s another thing to just fabricate the Clintons playing some race card and put words in their mouth. I think you are hurting the Obama campaign more than helping it.
I don’t pay attention to the polls. They are bull*****. I’m more intersted in the acutal voting. I pray that this man wins. I hope people are opening their eyes to the games the Clintons are playing. They are trying to make this in to a black-white issue to enrage the white community, thus taking a way votes from Barack. Black people are again being *****ted on by the Clintons. They figure if they can’t get our vote they will make us all look like some simple-minded fools who can’t get past race and who are dependent thinkers. Just awhile ago they were all in our faces takin’ about how much they’ve done for us and now that they can’t get their way, they they say ***** ‘em. I have been hollerin’ this ***** from day one. They are not to be trusted. Anytime you occupy the highest office in the country and you tell a bold-faced *****in’ lie, you are not worthy of trust and believe me Hillary is just as dirty and as much of a liar as her husband. Don’t be bamboozled people.
Will the white people that own bossip stop hating on black people.
The New York Times endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination over Rudy Giuliani and the rest of the GOP field, strongly criticizing the former mayor of its home city.
Sens. John McCain, left, and Rudy Giuliani took part in a debate in Florida on Thursday.
In endorsements posted on its Web site for Friday’s editions, the Times also endorsed New York Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
The bossip endorsed Obama because he like to talk about gossip not the real issue.
@Mr. White
Because bossip is owned by racist.
why you guys do not say why should we vote for Obama? Because he is black? I am not that stupid.
Hilary 2008.
OBAMA 4 CHANGE IN 2008!
Oh and Mornin!
@Coop
You are right!
@Lauren
What changes if you don’t mind.
@ Lovely And Amazing, you go girl! Thats what I’m talking about!
Bossip you are all *****s, calling people sellouts, you are the real sellouts! *****S!
@Kenya, anything better than what there is now, better schools, safer neighborhoods, lower real estate, just to name a few, not to mention coming out of Iraq. I have no problem with Hil but Obama is who I am supporting.
@Guilty Pleasure
Black do not want to talk about that. There something better than banana.
“Coop
Will the white people that own bossip stop hating on black people.”
I co-sign that!
Ugh, the mud slinging wreaks.. SOO distracting from the damn point, see..this is why r nation..
“It looks like rounding up all those old-time chittlin’ civil rights negroes in S.C. is not working for the Clintons”.
@Bossip
Ya’ll ni@@as ain’t right:-)
Love ya’ll, keep me laughing out loud at work…
@Lauren
Well, one of the reason of shaking of real state is increasing of tax. Obama’s plan is to remove bush’s tax cut. How can Obam make the real state better? Don’t you think that safer neighborhoods is state issue not fed?
@ Kenya, I am not a politician, nor do I hear every single thing that the candidates say, but I do listen to Barack Obama, and I like the views he has, the fact that he is a black man (not 100%) is a plus for me, i believe in supporting our intelligent black men.
@carolyngirl
@ Raven2007
African Americans make up 12% of the population. get your facts right!
Bossip was talking about S.C. and so was I. There are even more Latinos in America than Blacks. Learn how to read in context!
“According to a recent poll, Obama is leading Clinton in S.C. and Florida.”
Polls had Obama leading – and winning – in New Hampshire and Nevada too.
Look how that turned out.
@Lauren
At least you have reason to support Obama. You go with your feelings. That’s fine.
WARNING: KENYA IS A PLANT.
KENYA IS PLANTED HERE TO ANTAGONIZE AND GET A RISE OUT OF OBAMA SUPPORTRES. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO PROVE, EXPLAIN, DEFINE, OR DEFEND YOUR SUPPORT OF OBAMA.
SUCH UNCREATIVE AND PREDICTIBLE REVERSE RACIAL PSYCHOLOGY KENYA, SO 1960’s CIA. YOUR PLANT GAME IS WEAK.
OBAMA 2008!
Honestly, I don’t care who owns Bossip.
I know that BOSSIP is not banning black voices like the so called liberal/progressive democratic (pro-Hillary) sites. I and several readers have been blocked from so called liberal/progressive sites for supporting Obama.
The Bossip boards serve as a sounding board and virtual town hall for a lot of intelligent black Obama supporters.
Sure its a gossip site but thats the beauty of it, it called being inocuious and strategic. Its called, my boss thinks I’m reading about Lil’ Bow Wow. Bossip is a means to an end that at the very least gets some folks through the day.
Who owns BET? Who owns JET? Who owns Def Jam? Who owns these vile perpetuators of negative black stereotypes? Not Bossip.
So, Bossip is “the evil white man” but Billary is “really black” and “more black than Obama?!”
STOP THE NONSENSE and…
VOTE OBAMA 2008!
I am an African American from SC and I am somewhat offended with bossip callin us some ol’ chittlin civil rights negroes or whatever the ignorant ***** they said…but on another note i voted last time and will be at the polls saturday to vote for Obama..
OBAMA only lost NH by 2 Points. And he WON Nevada because he got the most delegates, which is what counts for nomination. Sleep on Obama if you must, but he is fighting the GOOD fight and he will win.
YES HE IS, CAN, & WILL!
OBAMA 2008!
let’s NOT forget people that he LIED AND LIED AND LIED about monica until he was forced to tell the truth – nothing from bill clinton, can nor should be trusted – he’ll do anything in his power to get back into the white house and we have the numbers and sense not to allow that! Obama/Bloomberg 2008!!
I like the sound of OBAMA/BLOOMBERG 2008!
I remember a few months ago, the media falsely accused Jesse Jackson of saying Obama “thinks he’s white”, and the majority of the folks on here were ready to hang hiim for allegely making that comment. However, some of you conveniently use that “you’re not black enough” bull*****, why?
Anyway, I hate that phony *****, Hilary. True, Obama is phony as hell, but at least he knows how to play it off. Clinton, on the other hand, can’t even keep her “I hate this *****” face to herself when they’re debating. She’s a fake, nasty, ***** – and I can’t stand her and her ugly husband.
With that said, I found it funny how she literally forced Obama to bring up race – knowning white people don’t like that *****. That was a good, yet evil strategy of hers.
Bossip may have to slow down…that Clinton gangbang may have worked. I am still rolling with O but it looks like I am going to have to support this broad in November. P.S. I peaked at that GOP debate last night…no matter what Dem wins I got to roll with him because the Republicans are fu#cking NUTS!
Fabiola Gonçalves/ lovely and amazing:
Bloomberg? Are y’all out of y’all *****ing minds?
Hilary is going to bring our troops home, get the economy out of the red and lower the price of gas per barrel… she has my vote!!!
This sick disease called racisim will be the end of the United States of America if we do not stop it. We have corporation getting tax breaks to send work over seas. We have the same corporation paying these smugglers to sneak in illegal immigrants to work for next to nothing. Where does that live the American citizen screwed.
We keep fighting over race and in the meantime everyone else is screwing both black and white people over. I think it is time we just stop.
The Clinton’s did introduce the race card becuase she was not going to win. And, Obama should not have fell for the banana in the tail pipe. But the reality of it is this if blacks/white people in this country do not open their eyes and see what the hell is going on we will all be walking around eating food out of a garbage can. It is enough already.
We don’t have to be each others friend to respect one another. We all have to share this planet.
Carolina Girl said in response to my plans to go door to door with my baby in stroller in support of OBAMA:
@lovely and amazing
You better not touch my door, I will stick my fingers on your behind.
_______________________________________________
@ Carolina Girl
How dare you threaten to physically *****ault a mother with child going door to door in support of an upstanding and worthy presidential candidate.
You are vicious mean and sick just like the Clintons. You are cl*****ic Billary Cult member. Of course you are against a positive movement for change.
God Bless You dear.
My God, inm y earlier post I asked for prayers for Obama. Now, I must ask, please pray for me and other mothers going dor to door for Obama because Carolina Girl and people like her are not above threatening to physically *****ault Obama supporters.
See, this is where it starts people with ignorant violent people who don’t even have regard for the safety of children and will stop at nothing to discourage even the very idea of OBAMA.
OBAMA 2008!
What the f**k. This Uncle Charlie really needs to shut his mouth. He stated that neither have lost votes because of race and gender but have kept votes due to their race and gender. Totally false these two are the only two holding their ground for the democrat party. I will be voting for Obama not Hillary. So, Uncle Charlie can keep shuckin and jivin for the Clintons.
Black America Feels the Sting of Ex-President’s Comments
By Darryl Fears
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 25, 2008; Page A08
For nearly two decades, Yvette Wider, an African American, adored Bill Clinton, once described by a famous black novelist as the nation’s first black president.
But now, after Clinton’s “fairy tale” remark about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in New Hampshire and a statement in South Carolina that Obama had put a political “hit job” on him, Wider said she feels she hardly knows the former president. “I was surprised to hear him make a comment like that, because I thought he understood our people better,” said Wider, who said she will vote for Obama in Saturday’s South Carolina primary. “It made me think he’s been playing us all this time.”
Wider’s sentiments are echoing across black America — on blogs, Web chats and talk radio, where Clinton is being attacked as never before.
It is a significant turnabout for Clinton, who throughout most of his presidency counted black people as his staunchest supporters. Less than eight years ago, African Americans gave the former president a stratospherically favorable rating — higher than those for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
With his attacks on Obama, however, that appears to be changing, causing some strategists and observers to wonder whether Clinton’s behavior will alienate black voters whom his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), will need should she win the nomination.
“The tone of some of the things he said just crossed a line,” said David Bositis, chief researcher for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a black think tank. A 2000 survey by Bositis showed that 91 percent of African American respondents had a favorable view of Clinton. Bositis said he doubts that the number would be as high if the survey were conducted today.
“He thinks he has some free p***** in terms of race,” Bositis said of Clinton. “I’ve been watching the polls and Obama’s been capturing a larger share of the black vote, and Clinton’s like, ‘I’m going to get mad.’ ”
“People say a lot of things when they’re embroiled in battle, and often they wish those things hadn’t been said,” Stevenson said. “I think I wish he hadn’t said it.”
Clinton still has a large share of black supporters. He is a member of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame in his home state. Viewed objectively, his supporters say, the remarks about Obama on behalf of his wife were appropriate in the hard-fought New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.
Clinton has defended his “fairy tale” remark, noting that it referred to Obama’s statement that he has always opposed the Iraq war, and was not about Obama’s presidential campaign. He also noted that Obama called his wife the “Senator from Punjab” after she visited India and that Obama’s campaign questioned the former president’s financial dealings.
In a South Carolina attack ad, the Clinton campaign used part of an Obama quote to suggest that he supported Reagan administration policies as economically sound. But Obama criticized the policies as hurtful later in the statement.
“I never said anything disparaging about him or the reality of his campaign,” Clinton said about the fairy tale remark. “It’s a brilliant campaign, and this is an example of how brilliant it is. It rests on a false premise. I wasn’t trying to be sneering or derisive. I was trying to think of a kinder characterization of his argument.”
John Stevenson, a former school superintendent in South Carolina, said the remark upset him but not terribly. “I’m very impressed with Senator Clinton,” he said. “I think Bill did an awful lot as president.”
Others are not as forgiving.
Anthony Peppers, a buyer for a manufacturing firm who lives in South Carolina, said Hillary Clinton’s reputation among black voters will suffer for her husband’s outbursts.
“I’m offended, because I thought she would not have dipped to this level,” Peppers said. “You think she didn’t agree for him to do that? If you have someone that close to you saying that, then it’s her. She’s got to live with it.”
Wider’s views were even sharper. “He can identify with us as much as he wants, but unless you’re black, you don’t know as much about it,” she said. “I guess he’s part of the old-boy system, too.”
In New York, Sharon Toomer, founder and managing editor of BlackandBrownNews.com, is not so sure that black people will turn out for Clinton. In a column, Toomer said she disagrees with novelist Toni Morrison’s tongue-in-cheek characterization of Clinton as a black president, and with pundit Donna Brazile’s statement that Clinton was a soldier for black people.
The crime control act signed by Clinton led to a disastrous spike in the black prisoner population, and the welfare-to-work legislation he signed was damaging to black families, Toomer wrote.
Clinton’s tone toward Obama “was demeaning,” Toomer said in a telephone interview. “He was calling him a boy, a kid, living in a dream land. I don’t think he deserves the title of being a friend or being the first black president.”
Ron Walters, a University of Maryland political science professor, *****erted that Clinton did nothing to stop the m*****acre in Rwanda during his administration and failed to act as AIDS decimated southern Africa. Walters, too, is not sure black voters would go to the polls for Hillary Clinton in the general election.
“[Bill] Clinton is the leading edge of this campaign, whether he wants to be or not,” Walters said. “To the extent that his image declines in the black community, it’s bound to have an effect on the entire enterprise.”
During radio shows where Walters has appeared, he said: “Black people were calling saying, ‘How dare they?’ I don’t believe any of this was accidental. I think they panicked because Barack had caught up . . . in the national polls.”
Clinton attempted damage control while appearing on Sharpton’s radio show. “I think he clearly was hurt by it,” Sharpton said of the criticism. “I think part of his legacy is having a good relation ship with African Americans, and he didn’t want to go down in history as having broken that relationship.”
Tom Joyner, whose syndicated radio show is among the most popular on black radio stations, recently released a statement criticizing Clinton after an appearance by the former president. “When he spoke this morning, some people thought he was saying, I’ve done so much for black people, how dare you question me?” Joyner said.
Even with the criticism of Clinton, however, some in the black community believe that it will make little difference. Black voters will overwhelming support the Democratic nominee, no matter who it is, they say.
“I don’t think the Clintons are the enemy to most black people,” said Melissa Harris-Lacewell, an *****ociate professor of politics and African American studies at Princeton University. “If Hillary succeeds, black people are going to vote for her. They might not be excited.”
I going door to door in Memphis TN with my 51 mama campaigning for Barack Obama as I have promised! Do the right thing, Black America. It’s time to stop being afraid and stand behind a STRONG BLACK MAN for change we need!
Obama 2008.
It’s beyond my understanding how we vote for people because appeal and appearance and we’re left out in the cold when it comes to what we need to survive. whether i liked Hillary’s race or gender my concern would be whether or not she can get the people out of this mess we’re all faced with one way or another. She has all of her facts, financial agendas and plans together and I guess I’m one in the few that can hear that verses what Obama has proposed. He does really well with speeches and story telling and he’s very good orator,but in the debates I can’t quite say what his agenda is. If i could here him address the issues verses responding the Clintons ignorance I could see voting for him. Pesonally I don’t think he’s ready,but good potential. Whether he knows how to work with the house to get the major issues solved is in question
I think that it is totally okay to vote for whoever you want to in the election. What I object to is the fact that the Clintons’ who have enjoyed almost universal support of black people, did not hesitate to throw us under the bus as soon as the election got close. Anyone who thinks that they are not playing the race game, wake up. He takes every opportunity to point out that Barack is a black man and therefore he will win SC because of the large black population. By doing this, he sends out the message that Obama is the “black” candidate. I suggest that black people become really educated about the Clinton record instead of believing the hype about him being the “first black president.” Or paying attention to the black power elites like Andrew Young, John Lewis, and Charlie Rangel who in their denigration of a decent black man, have all tarnished their own standing in the black community. I also want to point out that everyone is saying that black people are supporting Obama because he’s black, but how many white people have they asked who support Edwards or Clinton, if they are doing so because they are white. And let’s not forget that Obama won Iowa with a black population of less than 3% and almost won NH with an even smaller black population. So, he does have a large base of non-black supporters no matter how the Clintons are trying to show otherwise.
Morning,
Obama has a longer legislative history and more legislative experience than Hillary Clinton. Her experience is based on her years as a first lady, not as a legislator. So maybe she is not ready. If my husband was a surgeon does that qualify me to perform surgery? And I also suggest that if you don’t know anything about his platform there are many sources that you can use to find out. That excuse about him being a great speech maker with no real ideas or solutions, is nonsense. And my final point is that considering how much the Republicans hate the Clintons do you honestly believe she will be able to get an agenda through should she be elected? He has a record of working with both sides of the aisle and is respected by people on all sides. Your argument sounds like it came straight from Clintons, heavy on words but light on the truth.
@ H- I concur 200%
@ Morning- Have you considered that Hillary will be such a divisive and polarizing force that it’ll yield her completely ineffective during her presidency. Don’t you recall her failed healthcare plan? The Republicans spent in excess of $100 million to defeat her healthcare plan. Are you comfortable voting for someone who would lie, distort and steal the nomination?
I agree with Bill. Pastor Manning saw this too. Hillary is the one for 2008.
Love ya Belle!! I was a initially a Clinton supporter. I frankly wanted Bill back in the White House…and if Hillary had to be the vehicle to get there I was still on board.
However, after comparing the two platforms (Obama vs. Clinton) I more impressed w/Obama. I’ve been completely turned off by the blatant racial tactics that the Clintons have used to win/steal this race. Clinton obviously isn’t the demi-god that the African American community has made him out to be. I wish the media would start focusing on the more negative aspects of his presidency that America seems to have forgotten.
Or paying attention to the black power elites like Andrew Young, John Lewis, and Charlie Rangel who in their denigration of a decent black man, have all tarnished their own standing in the black community.
___________________________________
Definitely cosign with h. That tactic backfired. I know several black folks, myself included who were not particularly feelin’ Obama, but now are so outraged by the so-called black leaders attacks, we are voting for Obama. I don’t think it is a wasted vote. The Democratic Party has been takin’ our votes for granted for years. If anything, the Obama candidacy has shown that our vote is more important than even we know. Also, bossip, if the SC black community is turning around, don’t make the comment about old time chitlin’ civil rights… Encourage, don’t discourage the change!
Morning,
Not that I’m an Obama supporter (since I’ve watched two debates and learned how moderate all of the Dem candidates really are) but I don’t think Hilary has established her goals for change either. Everyone keeps saying that Hilary has experience. And that’s what? 35 years of becoming more entrenched in the political game in Washington? It’s certainly not experience in getting rid of private health care.
Obama’s debating skills leave much to be desired as he tends to pause and insert enough “uh”s to fill a convention hall. But when asked, he does express his plans too. At least from what I’ve seen.
In fact, it must be reiterated here since it doesn’t seem like anyone here bothers to state what they know about the candidates, I have to remind you that neither Hilary, Obama, or Edwards will get ouf of Iraq once in office. These are the same people that keep repeating how they were against the war and that Bush was wrong for putting us into this mess. They’re actually going to continue to collect America’s hard-working tax dollars to pay for a war that shouldn’t have begun in the first place. Money that should go to schools, the environment, and health care.
None of them want real universal, free healthcare. Check their sites out, you’ll see it yourselves. We’ll be paying high prices to private companies for another century people.
None of them are different. They’re all politicians. But I’d still go for Obama because Hilary’s been a politician for such a long time that I don’t even think she remembers what normal people need in their lives anymore. Either that or she doesn’t care.
Inside sources say that Obama is losing support among older black women to Hillary. It’s going to be pretty close tomorrow. I hope that these old black women are not going to betray us. Bill Clinton has been photographed with older black women all week. SISTAS SUPPORT OBAMA! THE CIVIL RIGHTS GENERATION HAS DESTROYED OUR POLITICAL POWER!
There is nothing in that statement that is racist or playing the race card. It’s 100% true. Look at the polls. Whites are overwhelming voting for Hillary and Blacks are overwhelming voting for Obama. Obama’s % of the black vote dropped 10 full percent in the last week.
Will you stand against the Clinton Smear Tactics?
MAKE YORU VOICE HEARD! But PLEASE BE INTELLIGENT ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/dnc-ple...
I am voting for O but don’t believe the hype about the war. None of those troops are coming home anytime soon. I am keeping hope alive but I admit its on life support right now. O will win South Carolina and a bunch of southern states but the Clintons have sucessfully marginized his support among Whites and Latinos. Only upper-income Democrats and African-Americans seem to be in his corner. I hope with a win he can win more of the blue collar voters back. The GOP is just itching to go after Hillary. I need O to get his Latino outreach going. He has us (African-Americans), but he has to bring whites and some Latinos over. The win tomorrow will help. I just don’t think Hillary can pull it out in November, especially if we (Black folk) stay home. It is at the point now that if she is the nominee…I can’t see myself getting worked up to vote for her. Plus, I live in DC so she will have our electoral votes anyway but I don’t see me rushing out to campaign for her in Pa., Ohio and Virginia like I did for Kerry or like I will do if Obama gets the nomination.
And for my Latino peeps…Is it really like that? Will you guys never vote for a Black canidate?
Interesting that Bossip claims the Clintons are making this about race, when anyone African American, who happens to support the Clintons, are being called Uncle Toms or accused of betraying the African American race. Whatever. This election was about race the moment Obama tossed his name out there. Anyone foolish enough to believe it’s a product of the Clintons needs to wake up.
Well, as long as Rudy (scary-*****) Guiliani gets out after Romney and McCain trump him in Florida, this country won’t end up too bad.
I think I understand now why Malcom X would not work with the civil rights leaders in the sixties. Read his autobiography. It was definately prophetic. I now understand why our communities always wind up with the short end of the stick. These so called black leaders that we put in office could care less about us. It is more about power for them.
They think if they say Martin Luther King Jr’s name a hundred times that will make us vote for whomever they tell us to vote for.
Because the Clinton’s have shown how nasty they can be and these so call black leaders have shown how nasty and just down right ignorant they can be. I will not vote for her if she gets the nomination. Because I think you should run off what you have done not what your husband did.
The only thing she tried to do when she was in the white house was a failed health insurance plan. She was not in his cabinet, on any of his committee’s or part of any of the economic planning. And, if she was so smart and had such strong leadership skills then why didn’t he use her then. Did she all of sudden become smart.
She is trying to act like she grew up poor and she was far from it. Look up who her father was. A steel magnate. People do your research.
There is nothing wrong with growing up reach, hell I wished I did, but there is something wrong when you try and hide it. Look at all of these uncle tom sambo ***** people backing them. That she pretty much tell you what to expect from her presidency for us.
BARACK OBAMA PRESIDENT 2008!!! SOUTH CAROLINA STAND UP VOTE BARACK OBAMA!
BOB JOHNSON is a COON….P***** the word.
@lovely and amazing
If my game is weak, why are you whining? Im just wait and see how the country will be under someone who is inspired by Reagan. Give me a break!
—————————————————–
“I don’t want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what is different is the times. I do think that, for example, the 1980 election was different. I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. They felt like with all the excesses of the 60s and the 70s and government had grown and grown but there wasn’t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think he tapped into what people were already feeling. Which is we want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing.”
—————————————————–
What Regan did to your community.
After taking office in 1981, Reagan began a sustained attack on the government’s civil rights apparatus, opened an *****ault on affirmative action and social welfare programs, embraced the white racist leaders of then-apartheid South Africa and waged war on a tiny, black Caribbean nation.
So thorough was Reagan’s attack on programs of importance to African Americans, that the Citizens Commission on Civil Rights, an organization formed in the wake of Reagan’s attempt to neuter the official U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said he caused “an across-the-board breakdown in the machinery constructed by six previous administrations to protect civil rights.”
There is nothing in that statement that is racist or playing the race card. It’s 100% true. Look at the polls. Whites are overwhelming voting for Hillary and Blacks are overwhelming voting for Obama. Obama’s % of the black vote dropped 10 full percent in the last week.
_____________________________________________
@Angie…. Explain the how u came to whites are overwhelmingly voting for Clinton and black for Obama? Where did you, or did you ever, learn statistics or critical thinking?
Of the votes cast in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, Obama has 110K and Clinton 118K. All of which state are predominately white states, with Iowa and New Hampshire having less than 3% black population. Even if Obama got 100% of that 3% that still would not account for his total numbers. Showing whites have overwhelmingly voted for Obama.
The 10% drop you refer to is in SC. Where Slick Willie and Hillary are doing their tag team and lies. Read more than one article or other people’s posts before to blog – and do your math!
Kenya – you are a plant!!! I know it now! No one else would come in here w/ the Clinton’s talking points!
You purport yourself as intelligent, but the ***** you post shows differently. I watched and read the Obama interview myself. Whether you like Reagan or not – he lead the country back to Republican conversatism allows Republicans to expand their base support. Obama didn’t endorse the Republican or Reagan, he pointed out a fact that must historians and scholars agree with.
Now go away. I need you to hit up the folks at huffingtonpost.com or something!!! Your tactics are too weak for the brotha and sistas on here! Game recognizes game!
@ Kenya,
“I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. ”
is an historically accurate *****essment. Your girl Hillary apparently has said something similiar in the past.
Just because you personally find that ‘different path’ abhorrent does not mean that it isn’t a different path. Just because you don’t like that ‘the country’ was ready for it, does not mean that the country *wasn’t* ready for it. Reagan changed the game. Reagan gets too much credit for the fall of the USSR and the fall of the Berlin Wall……. but it would be foolish to say that he had no part at all under what happened during those years.
It’s truth to say that Reagan had ideas and implemented them. It’s truth that the Republicans has an Idea, a Focus, which defined them as a party and which they were willing to unite all their differences together for the sake of obtaining their goals because of their Ideas.
What ideas did Clinton campaign on and implemented because the country was ‘ready’ for it? What has defined Democrats? beyond ‘we’re not Republicans’? Republicans had the Contract with America, which involved Republicans making a pact with their constituents. Democrats have…. what exactly? in comparison?
If Clinton had changed the game, he wouldn’t have been hailed as the finest conservative president democrats have ever fielded. All the ‘great’ ***** he did was actually ***** Republicans wanted anyway. You should read some of the *****essments of Clintons presidency even before this election period.
I even found a site, dated 2001, which asked why blacks were so fond of Clinton — and two of its points were a) the devastation of Welfare to Work, and b) the disparity of crack sentencing versus *****e. Apparently, way back in 2001, after the 2000 election *****BILL CLINTON HAD ASKED GEORGE BUSH TO REVERSE SUCH SENTENCING***** Now, you have to wonder, why would Bill Clinton ask to reverse such sentencing; and now his wife is trying to be president and she’s absolutely adamant that there will be no reversing of it? Was Bill just politicking? Were the Clintons trying to rope-a-dope Bush? Is Hillary just politicking now? Whichever it is, something ain’t right.
I knew of none of this before I started reading up on the Clintons these past few weeks. But I *did* know that if the Clintons are trying to accuse Obama of something, then it’s better *not* to take the Clintons at their word.
The Clintons are pushing this ‘Obama loves Reagan’ bull***** so that people who *****ociate foulness with Reagan knee-jerk to that foulness, but it ain’t the truth. This is some bull***** on the scale of the Jewish Defamation league and TMZ twisting Will Smith’s words to say that ‘Hitler was a good person’, instead of the historically accurate and acceptable belief that ‘Hitler had convinced himself that he was doing good’. But you go on and keep spitting that Obama is a Reaganite who claims that all of Reagans ideas were good ideas — even when the quotes are right in front of you and you use those same quotes to disintegrate your own point. Hillary pulled her commercial in South Carolina the other day which had claimed just that, because people who know a lot better than you or I were attacking the validity of that commercial. I need to find the name of that site — Factcheck dot org ? — which has recently given Hillary two pinnochios for ALL the lies she has been spitting recently.
When the Clintons claim something, don’t eat it up. Clintons are notorious projectionists. And be careful about only getting your news from your local paper and your local/national news. You might just end up believing that Obama and Romney both yelled at journalists… when the video evidence shows something entirely different from what print is putting out.
@ Uptown Mama, I don’t think they expect people to read. If Kenya really is a plant, I can’t be surprised. As for HuffingtonPost.. that site used to be worth a *****, until the Freeper trolls overran it. I don’t mind folks having disagreements as long as it’s intelligent and sincere disagreement. So I guess that’s as good a place as any for the Hillary plants to go, you right LOL
By the way, Lovely and Amazing, I’ll bet dollars to donuts that it was the Clinton people who did a lot of the planting and requests to ban. Unfortunately, I’ve seen Obama supporters act the same way
There is a legitimate gripe about that online, people banning other people because they don’t like their political views……………. but the Clintons seem to be a hell of a lot more organized about it. They were accused of blueturfing a couple political sites, claiming to be people they are not when in reality their IP addresses *****ociate them with the Clinton campaign (I guess they figured folks wouldn’t check that, just as they figured folks wouldn’t check facts)… so now I know of at least one site which has banned those IPs to stop the madness and the plants.
You know what the worst part is? Republicans had actually warned about the Clintons’ efforts to use and infiltrate the internet for selfish gain back in the late 90s. *****ody except other Republicans listened to them. Well, I (for one) am listening now.
I wonder what Clinton supporters think they will get out of this? or if they are more like telemarketers who are only concerned about the day’s profits, and don’t give a damn about the lies they tell in order to make that profit.
please, i live in new york and he’s the most dull but effective mayor to date – he’s stingy as hell too, with his billions but he is about spreading the wealth [not his, don't get that twisted] but the common wealth – with obama’s intellect, looks, and bloombergs money and money sense, we’ll be out of this recession in no time!! do the math son
@Uptown Moma – Get it *****
@Nita
Nothing I posted is from Hilary’s camp. I am sorry if you are offended with my comments.
Did you ever be in the situation where by two of your best friends are arguing and when they ask you for your opinion then you decide to act as a ***** not to side with anyone thou you know the truth. That’s exactly how Obama is. How can he voted “present” more than 130 times in two years time? Now is lying to people that he will change Washington. I think if he voted, the washington would be changed by now.
@Fabiola Gonçal
We are not in recession yet.
@Kenya – and the dow arrow pointing down for the last three months is just .. ? – you probably think bush is smart and clinton never had sexual relations, ha?
Uptown Moma – Get it *****, you wrote, “Angie…. Explain the how u came to whites are overwhelmingly voting for Clinton and black for Obama? Where did you, or did you ever, learn statistics or critical thinking?”
Innoculation and bigotry is how folks came to that point.
They have conveniently forgotten that the majority of BLACKS had a lot of misgivings about Obama, and why the majority of blacks had those misgivings. They conveniently forget that it took Iowa for blacks to see Obama as viable — for blacks to see Obama as viable as the legions of WHITE college students and WHITE independents and WHITE democrats earnestly believed him to be.
So now that blacks see Obama as viable, suddenly our vote doesn’t matter as much anymore, and you’ve got Hillary supporters spreading the lie that Blacks will support Obama just because he is black. You got Bill Clinton getting up before national press claiming that blacks will only vote for Obama because he’s black……… but Bill is saying it in a more negative way than claiming that all women (regardless of race creed and color) will vote for Hillary because she’s a woman (and therefore represents all women, regardless of race creed and color).
It has gotten nasty over at some of the white political sites. The idiocy with which those folks — some well-meaning, some not-so — think they can talk about the black vote and predict the black vote is frustrating as hell; because all it shows is that the more things change the more they stay the same. Few are willing to dissect the ‘black vote’ and the complexities of the ‘black vote’. They’re the same people who push that ‘all brown peoples are disadvantaged and cannot overcome and are in struggle against almighty white peoples’ nonsense; they push it because they see themselves as dispensing benevolence to the animals. We black folk are those animals. To them. (That ‘them’ includes the house coons who help them push their political poison.)
All that, and the Clintons expect — the party expects — blacks to vote Democrat no matter who is on the ticket because ‘where else are they gonna go?’ Republicans don’t give half a damn anymore because they’re operating under those *****umptions as well. The black vote has been cheapened, and we allowed it to get to that point.
Loyalty is being repaid, now. We are getting tossed under the bus — again. They have no respect for us. How do we regain that respect (and self-respect) back? particularly in the era of ‘Latinos are the majority minority; women are the majority minority’? I don’t know.
By the way, the numbers I have been seeing is that Edwards has gained the most after the debates; and Obama has actually lost support among whites as he has gained it among blacks. I actually expected that; but only because there are too many anecdotal stories out there about white Democrats, and the bigotry of white Democrats particularly in the South.
@Kenya you wrote, “Nothing I posted is from Hilary’s camp.”
– But if we asked you to post your sources, they’d prove to be of Hillary’s camps. Many of us may be undereducated… but we’re not uneducated. We know where you’re getting your points.
You had quotes right in front of you, but instead of reading them objectively, you repeated Hillary camp talking points. You probably could take Obama’s legislative and community organizer and professorial experience and ***still spin it as him not having enough experience as a woman whom herself is cl*****ified as a junior senator*** and only got that senatorship because of whom her husband is and how they raided money that could have helped their vice-president get the presidency instead of her having the ‘official’ resume padding of a Senatorship.
Do you?
Kenya writes, “I am sorry if you are offended with my comments.”
– I’m offended you seek to lead voters astray using lies and one campaign’s easily refuted talking points.
Kenya wrote, “Did you ever be in the situation where by two of your best friends are arguing”
– The Clintons are not our friends. Friends don’t lie about their friends. Friends don’t backstab their friends. Friends don’t seek to keep their friends in the dark. Friends don’t project their own wrong-doing upon their friends, then ask to patch up when the damage is done.
Bill Clinton still hasn’t made an official report about the wrong-doing he got up in front of the national press and claimed Obama was doing to sabotage Nevada……… but everybody else is waking up. Hillary and Bill Clinton did the same thing in Nevada that they did in New Hampshire — only look at what’s happened in the aftermath of New Hampshire, speaking of
Kenya wrote, “and when they ask you for your opinion then you decide to act as a ***** not to side with anyone thou you know the truth. That’s exactly how Obama is.”
– What lies has Obama told? you can’t name them.
But organizations are counting the lies the Clintons have told. Hillary Clinton is the one who was recently awarded Two Pinnochios for the lies she’s been spreading this campaign — not Obama. The site which awarded those Pinnochios has her lies up, and the truth. Now, if you think those lies are true and the site is mispresenting, then please say so, and give examples of how the.
Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune has this to say about your girl:
“The Clintons’ ***** political knuckles have been obvious since the early ’90s, which explains both their successes and their comparatively high disapproval ratings.
So each squabble is a little victory for her. For now, this is true even when she loses on points or is caught in a deceitful contradiction, such as when she contended the other day that Obama had said Republicans had better ideas than Democrats (he said no such thing), and she blasted Obama for praising the same political skills and vision of Ronald Reagan that she herself has publicly praised.”
Yeah. The Chicago Tribune. The deceitful contradiction he speaks of is about the Reagan quote, and he — and OTHERS — break it down just how the deceit has worked.
Kenya wrote, “How can he voted “present” more than 130 times in two years time?”
If you had watched the debate, or read the transcripts, you would know. If you had read up on Obama’s candidacy, you would know that ****this did not become an issue until after Iowa**** Now, why would the Clinton campaign care, when it did not care before, until after Hillary placed third in Iowa? Hmm. Can you tell me? You won’t, *****ume. But you can tell me how many times Obama voted present and the time span in which he did it? Let’s go to the *****ociated Press, and fix some of the bull***** you’ve picked from those lying Clintons. It’s an article entitled “Fact Check: Obama’s ‘Present’ Votes” (but it doesn’t give an author):
———————————–
Obama acknowledges that over nearly eight years in the Illinois Senate, he voted “present” 129 times. That was out of roughly 4,000 votes he cast, so those “presents” amounted to about one of every 31 votes in his legislative career.
Illinois legislators often vote “present” and for a wide variety of reasons. ******Sometimes blocs of lawmakers do it as a protest in some dispute over rules and procedures. Obama was often joined in his “present” votes by 10 or 20 other senators.****** In other cases, lawmakers do it to signal objections to the details of a measure that they support in principle. They also use “present” votes as strategic moves to defeat legislation or, of course, simply to avoid taking a firm position….
But the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council says Obama’s “present” votes were actually part of a careful strategy to prevent those restrictions from p*****ing.
President Pam Sutherland said the group feared several senators were going to vote “yes” on the legislation because of attacks from Republicans over their past opposition. ******Sutherland says she approached Obama and convinced him to vote “present” so that the wavering senators would do the same. For their purposes, a “present” was as good as an outright “no” because it kept the bills from reaching the majority needed to p*****.******
Clinton also points out that Obama was the lone “present” vote on legislation allowing the victims of rape and other sex crimes to have their court records sealed. *****Obama explains now that he had questions about its constitutionality,***** although the law has never been struck down by the courts.
******Neither the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual *****ault nor the House sponsor of the legislation faults Obama for his vote.****** Former state representative Lauren Beth Gash, who supports Obama for president, said she ultimately disagreed with his constitutional concerns but that Obama raised legitimate questions and was acting on principle.
——————————
And guess what, Kenya? As I’ve relayed a couple days ago, New Hampshire’s women are *****ED that the Clintons came to them and got them involved in deceit. The Clintons got their own supporters — 11 of them — to sign their names to a do*****ent purporting to attest to the fact that Obama was anti-choice because of those present votes. Those supporters had no idea how things worked in Illinois, and didn’t fact check with anyone in Illinois. They took the Clintons at their word.
And now, at least three of those women want the record cleared about the cir*****stances of them signing that lying do*****ent, and all 11 now say (after the fact and after the damage is done) that Obama isn’t anti-choice after all.
That’s how the Clintons work, Kenya. Why do you bother doing their dirty work and carrying their sleazy load?
Kenya wrote, “Now is lying to people that he will change Washington. I think if he voted, the washington would be changed by now.”
– Hillary Clinton claims 35 years of experience in that same Washington environment. John Edwards has been running for president for how long? Why change the rules for Obama, but change them back for Hillary (and John)?
That’s some bull*****, and we black folk should be able to recognize it when we see it, because of how often that ***** has been done to us — the changing of the rules and the changing back.
Who do you support, Kenya?
You better believe that Obama would change Washington. But you go ahead and knock your head against that brick wall, and give the Clintons a ‘do over’ in that respect.
@Ara, I’m afraid about what’s going to go down in South Carolina. I’m not going to watch the results roll in. I’m just gonna wait for the aftermath. I have no idea what’s going to happen in South Carolina; I am scared.
@bria, yeah, it puts Brother Malcolm’s perspective about (for instance) the March on Washington in a whole new light, don’t it?
It’s too bad it took this for folks to have their true colors shown; I just hope this lasts, and folks don’t think these things are forgiveable. A lot of folks are like you, and they’ll vote downticket for Democrats across the board, but they won’t vote for Hillary at the top. I agree with you when you say “Because I think you should run off what you have done not what your husband did.” Word, double word, triple word. Apparently, in Bill’s book he didn’t give Hillary any credit with governing the nation. I haven’t read the book, though. Has anybody here? What trips me out — to go back to what you say about “if she was so smart and had such strong leadership skills then why didn’t he use her then,” is that Hillary didn’t even have National Security Clearance. Apparently, Hillary has some things in her background which preclude her receiving it. One of those things (allegedly) is her deep and profound clinical depression. I don’t know about all that. But we need to know why she didn’t get that clearance, in her 8 years as ‘co-president’. Why didn’t her man pull strings for her, at least?
Speaking of, Hillary still hasn’t defined what Bill’s place in her presidency would be. She needs to answer that. Bill, who gave top secret cl*****ified do*****ents to a bimbo intern to impress her and keep her sucking his *****. That Bill.
@ Raven, you know this.
@ Yeah, yeah, yeah: the clintons turned race into a negative. that’s the point. the clintons did it, claiming that they were only testing Obama for Obama’s own good, putting ***** out that the Republicans were going to do to him.
For his own good. /roll eyes
It didn’t have to be about race in the negative; but the Clintons went down that road when they started losing to Obama and Bill took it personally and advised Hillary to go into Attack mode. The same Bill who is on record as saying, “I know you think it’s crazy, but I kind of like to see Barack and Hillary fight.”
What the *****??!
Can somebody spin any positive out of that, for me?
@ Lost Skeleton, yes it really is like that. For folks who didn’t want to hear it, Nevada (specifically, what went down in Las Vegas) should have been eye-opening.
When Latinos are getting into shouting matches with blacks, spouting ***** about not voting for Obama because he’s a muslim (ooooooooo scary) and doesn’t have experience and basically repeating all the lies the Clintons have put out negatively about him… it’s bad enough when blacks do it; but for Latinos to do it for the same reasons blacks do (not voting for him because he’s black and finding reasons afterwards to justify not doing so)? Yeah, it really is like that… and not just for Latinos.
It’s an issue of being underinformed. The Clintons don’t want folks to be informed. There are many reasons not to vote for Obama, if one is inclined. The Clintons would rather lie and distort, though…. they have to, because Obama and Hillary’s politics (like Obama and Edwards and Hillary’s politics) are actually extremely similar.
So how do you choose between people who are similar?
Hillary is less honorable in her politics than Obama. There’s the difference. Choose with care.
Anyway, what the Democrats don’t want folks to know, is how many Latinos are Republican and Republican leaning. They’re going to try to do the same plantation bull***** on Latinos — it ain’t gonna work, because Latino encomp*****es way too many different groups of people united by language. It ain’t gonna work because the Latino experience is not the black experience and shouldn’t be *****umed to be like it just because of adjectives like ‘black’ and ‘brown’.
@Nita
The clinton’s wrong doings do not make him a good leader. Im not judging Obama by comparing him with Hilary. I do not believe on politics of home and believe on issues. If Obama and Hilary divides Democratics how can one of them unites Washington? It is just stupid.
I brought here the issue of “no agenda for africa”, do you want to say that I got it from Hilary’s camp? I have refused to be brainwashed by Jon Favreau’s speech.
“We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them.” …Obama
@ belle
Thank you for your comments. Very true and practical indeed. Thank you.
Kenya is a plant. Ignore him if you choose to do so. He’s just antagonizing and insulting for the sake of distracting Obama supporters. No basis or sincerity. He’s just a plant.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!
This ishnit started when coons called Slick ***** the first “black” president.And now peeps are shocked he fired buckshot in their *****es. Pulease.
as eloquent as obama is…..
actual experience may have helped him; evaluate, forsee, and eventually sidestep the race issue.
He started his campaign having everyone as humans, charged about his and our prospects for America’s future. Now, he goes and allows himself to be pulled into a shortsighted issue that has him and the media focusing on the black vote.
The young vote, not dispersed along racial lines could get him elected, if they continue to feel charged enough to vote.
In case the young vote no longer feels charged enough to vote, how is he going to win over the middle aged vote who widely believes that he is too inexperienced to lead us.
They don’t appear to be against him, they root for him because they don’t want him or his future prospects to become discouraged; but they are not going to vote for him once they go into that booth. Because of the turn the campaign has taken, he has his work cut out for him.
“WARNING: KENYA IS A PLANT.
KENYA IS PLANTED HERE TO ANTAGONIZE AND GET A RISE OUT OF OBAMA SUPPORTRES. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO PROVE, EXPLAIN, DEFINE, OR DEFEND YOUR SUPPORT OF OBAMA.
SUCH UNCREATIVE AND PREDICTIBLE REVERSE RACIAL PSYCHOLOGY KENYA, SO 1960’s CIA. YOUR PLANT GAME IS WEAK.
OBAMA 2008!”
I Co-Sign with the above statement!
Black Folks, This is what they do (CIA and other Political US Government Agencies) ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Disrupt the Polictical Process, so that THEY can Attain/Keep Power, or put who THEY want in Power.
WE ARE NOT FOOLED!
We Know all about your “Divide and Conquer” Tactics
REMEMBER when we were all in Elementary School, and were asked “What do you want to be when you grow up”?
The “Inner-Child” in me still believes that Senator Obama can, and will win!
I perception was ok, its a tough race and they should go at it as much as possible to win because it is a fight for Prez, so I did not mind some of the back and forth bickering going on at first even attacks on O , because I figured he was going to need that discipline expierence for the national election when things really start cooking…But a line had to be drawn…AND THAT WAS THE RACE CARD, I am now loosing much respect for hill and bill for using that knowing it will turn off some white votes for O…that is just pure tack and hillbilly of them.
How any person of ANY color vote for Billary Clinton is just devastating. These two have contributed to the murder of their friends, covered up their illegal business activities, desecrated the white house, pushed their friends to suicide, sat back while their friends did jail time for them, and this so called husband and father shoved cigars in the vagina of an intern in the very same house where his then minor daughter played, studied, and slept. At least JFK rented secret hotels for his whoring. Honestly, Billary Clinton in all her so called feminist ideals never gave a damn about poor, inner city and urban LATINA and BLACK girls and women, she has only looked out for her white racist elitist NARAL and NOW and Ms. cronies.
Billary hates Hispanics. Hates them and uses them for her racist purposes. It’s common knowledge that poor ignorant Hispanics think that hating and distancing themselves from African-Americans will make them more American, more white. That America Ferrrara is another pathetic supporter of Billary after she became a star from a movie based on the body image issues of black (ie. women of color). Black girls and black latin girls made her a star and she supports a professional slanderer of a father of two black girls. I am so sick of racist slander working to destroy black people. I am so sick of black people and desparate for *****imilation latins taking racist slander as fact. Billary is not a better candidate than Obama. She’s just white and unfortunately a lot of people are still conditioned to believe white is right. Now all this talk about half white boy and not 100% black, please. Obama is being attacked in part because he does not look white enough for black people. If Obama looked white, he would be facing a very differnt tone of competiveness. In the debates, Billary looks at him with hand on hip and racist disdain in her eyes and body language. George Bush conveys less hate and racism, he at least knows how to be polite. Billary is a lying murdering stealing whoring white supremacist modern day KKK determined to keep non-whites in their place (under them, behind them, and indebted to them). See, it is not OBAMA’s responsibility to undo the racist conditioning Billary loves to exploit. I’m not looking for a great white hope or great black hope. I’m voting for the better human being and candidate and that is OBAMA. Billary will condescend and cement the black and hispanic poor. When has Billary ever rolled their sleeves up and worked to help people. *****, even Hollywood atresses get their photo op on serving free meals at missions. Billary are takers and users and abusers. Racism makes people infinitely forgiving of white sin and unforgiving of black morality and greatness. I can’t believe anyone would put Billary in the white house after he wasted our tax dollars on his impeachment investigation. The presidency wasn’t valued by him enough to respect it and his wife knew the whole time and turned her head. This is the marriage you want to head our country. What example is Bill of a man, a husband, a father. And don’t get me started on the smug, elitist, s*****, future HEDGE FUND crook they raised. Put her ***** in the white house as an adult working in Hedge Funds with her parents criminial business past.Come on! Wake up! The Clintons are the Bushes. They are one and support and benefit eachother’s dictatorships–wasn’t that the case when Billary bailed on Al Gore in favor of the Bushes. Billary supporters and their fake ***** anti-Bush crap. Hillary willnot bring the troops home. She will not succeed at anythig as president because she’s a mean empty skirt who doesn’t know how to talk to or deal with people. Watch our government and all world leaders ignore her, not because she’s a woman (her own husband doesn’t see her as a woman) but they will ignore her because she a bad politician, statesman, wife, and mother. Yes, a bad mother stays and doesn’t take a stand to teach her own daughter how not to be treated by your husband. Yes a bed wife allows her husband to be a w*****. This is sad sign of the times if she wins this nomination. Watch, they lost Obama’s respect and cannot count on him for *****. Obama is more powerful than her and he will make change she can never make. The presidency is a goal for Billary not a calling.
Obama 2008!
Hilary is the most qualified. She should be president. ***** what you hear!
Of course with a name like w*****sssssssup!!!! you are a Billary cult member.
Happily joining your buddy “I ain’t no ways tired” in the field picking cotton to fund your m*****a Billary’s slander and defamation campaign against the MORE intelligent, dignified, capable, prepared, qualified, experienced, and ready presidential candidate BARACK OBAMA!!
You keep picking that cotton and when M*****a Billary walks by keep doing your little shuffle dance while screaming w*****ssssssssssup!!!! Oh they just love it. Billarys like “Oh, Bill look at our boy w*****ssssssup!!! he’s so happy on our plantation” and he talks slang to us cdause he knows we’re “really black”.
Ha Ha Ha they laugh at you while sipping their bitter envious lying lemonade that you happily fetch and refill at snap of their finger.
I love Bossip, it’s understandable that you may not like the Clinton’s, but this black woman is voting for HILLARY CLINTON, she is the best person for the job
Hillary Clinton hates black women and has done nothing as a so-called feminist icon and in her two terms as NY State Senator to positively affect the lives of black women and girls. She’s self-centered and insincere and that’s why Oprah is not supporting her. Michelle Obama is the better first legacy for women as the first African-American first lady she will have a tremndously positive effect on our nation.
OBAMA 2008!!!!
I think now I am supporting better school system in the black neigborhood maybe be the will do better thinking in the next election.
Wait a minute! Did Reagan supported apartheid in south africa? Apartheid is racial, political, and economic segregation based on race and the colour of skin. I wonder how Obama is inspired by him. Maybe some is planning the new segregation against whites and latinos.
I know today is Obama’s birthday in SC, most of you might have a good weekend. Ciao.
@lovely and amazing
Do not brainwashed black women, I know what Hillary did for women.
Hillary is leading the charge in the Senate to strengthen equal pay laws and end pay disparities between men and women.
She introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act to strengthen the penalties *****ociated with wage discrimination, to ensure that the federal government sets a higher standard, and to increase oversight of employers.
Hillary has also worked to increase access to capital and other support for women-owned businesses.
She has expanded access to family planning services, including for low-income women.
She spoke out forcefully against the Supreme Court’s April 2007 decision that — for the first time in decades — failed to recognize the importance of women’s health.
She has advocated for access to microfinance programs that enable women to start their own businesses and spoken out strongly against the tragic practice of sex trafficking.
“women’s rights are human rights” . Hillary
Quote of the day.
“Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama have brought their New York- and Chicago-style politics to South Carolina. Fighting with each other, tearing each other down, but South Carolina’s better than that, and you deserve better than that.”…Edwards
Brainwash? How condescending. As if black women can’t think for themselves.
Billary has done nothing to positively affect the lives of black women and girls. Nothing. She has denied funding to organizations serving black women and girls. If Hillary is so all-encomp*****ing then why it it black women who need to create their own community and health initiatives and outreach. While because of Billary more and more white girls feel encouraged and empowered to go on to medical school more and more black girls are compartively ignored and struggling.
Married to and raising two, I think Obama the better choice for Black Women.
OBAMA 2008!
I have a sense of humor. Obama’s birthday in SC, cute. The Edwards quote, very earnest and moving, but we must clarify it is Billary’s New York style politics and beat down tactics and Obama’s grace and professionalism that has joined Edwards in SC.
OBAMA 2008!!
FOR THE SISTAS who say they are voting for a woman/HRC b/c she is the best one for the job, and that they are not looking a race or gender…
Consider this the next time ya’ll dog a brotha when you see a successful black man (i.e. Reggie and Kim K, or any other brotha) w/ a white woman, “HE JUST PICK’D THE RIGHT WOMAN FOR THE JOB” remember he ain’t looking at race.
Now you not only pick’d a white woman over a brotha, but a blond, blue-eyed white woman. Now ya see where the brothas are coming from…
YEAH, WHITE WOMEN NOW, WHITE WOMEN FOREVER!!!
Speak Ride or Die!
Sisters should be ashamed of themselves if they vote for the Billary Clintons over the Obama Family.
Obama is married to and raising two, who better to understand Black Women.
Obama 2008!
Whoever write this articile need to go sit their tired a–s down. People like you make me sick, calling older civil rights leaders chiltin curcuit. Where was you butt when there was white only signs, we were getting beat for walking in town after a certain time, or your couldn’t get a sandwich unless you went around to the back. Bob/Bet is a sell out but never call those that put their lives on the line so your smelling butt could one day sit in a office never forget you damn paas –without them you would not have had a future.
You people are all funny, I moved out of America because of this major issue, living in Germany has it’s ups and downs but it’s nothing like living in a country where race is the most important thing. The world looks at Americans like they are idiots, and with this race so divided among racial lines it will be even more critical. I am Black American but America gives me the creeps. BTW Hillary will win, America is still not ready for a black president and it shows right here in this blog.
Are you saying that black people should support only black people? isn’t that segregating oneself? is that also not being able to have a freeness of choice? if I don’t agree with my own race, does that make me a sell-out. What a bunch of hypocrites!
You are the sellouts! How funny it is that you sang the praises of the Clintons during his eight years and even after that. Oh at that time he was America’s first black pres. You applauded him for establishing his office in Harlem. How many other presidents have truly reached out to us. We don’t know what Obama would do. But we do know what Clinton did. I say the proof is in the pudding.
We sure do act like some Chicken George Negros.
Pia please – that’s what people love about this country – freedom of speech, freedom to pick and choose what you wish. I too have suffered injustices and with the recent attention give to “immigrants” it doesn’t get better. However if my own race decides on an individual who is not of my color, I’m not going to be a cry-baby about it and tag that one a “sell-out”. Please, those of us who are of color have and continue to suffer injustices, not just the black community. Quit your whining. It’s boring already.
