: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that former President Bill Clinton made a blatant attempt to inject race into the campaign. Here's how ABC news is reporting the incident:
Said Bill Clinton today in Columbia, SC: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."So ... Black folk are supposed to support Hillary if she wins the primary election. Good luck getting 'em Bill....This was in response to a question from ABC News' David Wright about it taking "two Clintons to beat" Obama. Jackson had not been mentioned.
Boy, I can't understand why anyone would think the Clintons are running a race-baiting campaign to paint Obama as "the black candidate."
MEDIATAKEOUT *** THE F*CK UP. THEY NEED TO STOP PUSHING PEOPLE TOWARD OBAMA AND MAKE HILARY CLINTON LOOK BAD. YOU F-ING BIASED PEOPLE. PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE A CLUE WHO THERE GOING TO VOTE FOR. WE ALREADY KNOW MEDIATAKEOUT IS HUGE OBAMA SUPPORTERS. YALL IS GETTING ON MY *** NERVES. STOP MAKING THE CLINTONS LOOK BAD. BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU DO *** LIKE THAT ME AND MY FRIENDS LEAN MORE AND MORE TOWARD HILARY.
While tricky Bill is sneaking in sublimonals, we need to make sure that we are registered to vote so that the Clinton's and The Bush family wont run the country for a 6th straight term.

We all knew that race would be an issue, but I think people are shocked that its Clinton using it and not Obama...Obama, represents change and hope and speaks to whites the same way he speaks to blacks and latinos, unlike Hillary who gains a southern accent when she speaks in the south. So, as a white female who lives in the south, I will vote for the person, who I feel is passionate about making changes and getting it done, and if anyone thinks that words cannot inspire others, just look at the record breaking turn outs for the primary elections! This year people are coming out that never vote because we realize that YES WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I just hope that the news and media keep this election at the top of the list, because no matter how you believe, if we are discussing it then we will get off our butts and vote.
THE CLINTONS HAVE MADE ME LOOSE TOTAL RESPECT FOR THEM WITH THEIR FALSE ALLEGATIONS TOWARD OBAMA AND RACIST MOUTHS. USE TO LOVE ME SOME BILL, BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! FROM MY UNDERSTANDING... BILL HAS FATHERED TWO BLACK KIDS OUTSIDE HIS MARRIAGE...SOMEONE MAY NEED TO BRING THIS TO LIGHT! ACCORDING TO SOMEONE WHO USE TO WORK IN POLITICS...SAYS IT'S TOTALLY TRUE... CHECK THE FACTS MEDIA. IF HILLARY STANDS BEHIND SOMEONE THAT TREATS HER LIKE DIRT... WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO...A WEAK WOMAN PREZ!!! CRY BABY CRY
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE R SEEING THAT OBAMA IS REAL AND RESPECTABLE. RACE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE WITH TRYING TO OBTAIN PRESIDENCY AND SPEAKING THESE LOW JABS (AHHH... OBAMA JUST WON BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK...BILL IS A CRY BABY JUST LIKE HILLARY!!)
U GUYS TRUE COLOR HAS BEEN SHOWN!! lEAVE THE RACIST "HILL BILLIES ALONE PEOPLE"
OBAMA FOR CHANGE!!! AMERICA FOR WORLD PEACE!!
@MTO:
People need to understand that when it comes to South Carolina and a Presidential election Democrats don't win that state when it's time to go head-to-head with a Republican. For us as people of color to get excited we are missing the big picture. I like Obama and Hilary but neither of them can not win a presidential election our best chance is Edwards and he doesn’t look to have a chance to win the nomination.
Clinton’s desire to marginalize Barak as the “black” candidate by dismissing the “black” vote as being cast in support of Obama only because of his race is not only insulting but extremely foolish. It can easily be said that votes cast for Hillary are mainly females due to gender identification and of course by whites who may be too bigoted to consider the merits of anyone outside of their own race. It can also be factually stated that whites tend to vote THEIR race (Barak received only 10% of the white vote in the Carolinas)….and because they are the majority when you examine the delegates and the electoral college IF the emphasis, votes cast, is based on race instead of merit a non-white will lose every time. It’s apparent that his statements are playing to the “racist” component of our society, hoping that THEY will vote their race and thus propel his wife to victory.
Ok I'm still trying to figure out whats wrong with what he said. He's just saying that history favored Obama in S.C., and he's right. WTF did you want him to say? Did you want him to hang his head in defeat? They got 49 more states to go.
And why is MTO acting like there breaking some big new story?
"MediaTakeOut.com has learned"
It was on ABC news. Most people probably heard it before MTO did. The first line should have read "ABC is reporting that."
YOU BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT EVEN THOUGH JESSE WON IN 84 AND 88, HE DIDN'T WIN IN THE MARGINS THAT OBAMA WON, MEANING OBAMA DID GET ENOUGH WHITE SUPPORT FOR HIM TO BEAT BILLARY 2 TO 1.
ALSO, DON'T FORGET THAT HE WON IOWA (ALL WHITE) AND BILLARY BARELY WON IN NH AND NV, MEANING WHITE (NOT IN THE STUPID,DUMB-*** SOUTH) WILL VOTE FOR HIM.
PRESIDENT CLINTON AND VICE PRESIDENT GORE
Working on Behalf of African Americans
Economy
Nearly 18 Million New Jobs. More than 90 percent of the new jobs have been created in the private sector, the highest percentage in 50 years.
Record-Low African American Unemployment. The unemployment rate for African Americans has fallen from 14.2 percent in 1992 to 8.9 percent in 1998 — the lowest annual level on record (data first collected in 1972)
Median Income of African American Households Is Up $3,354. The median income of African American households rose 4.3 percent (or $1,029) in 1997. And since 1993, the median income of African American households has increased from $21,696 to $25,050 — $3,354 or a 15-percent increase, adjusted for inflation, between 1993 and 1997.
Real Wages Are Rising for African Americans. The real wages of African Americans have risen rapidly in the past two years, up about 5.8 percent for African American men and 6.2 percent for African American women since 1996.
Tax Cuts For Low-Income Working Families. President Clinton’s 1993 Economic Plan provided tax cuts to 15 million hard-pressed working families by expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The average family with two kids who received the EITC received a tax cut of $1,026. In 1997, the EITC lifted 1.1 million African Americans out of poverty.
Largest Four-Year Drop in African American Poverty in More than Twenty-Five Years. Since 1993, the African American poverty rate has dropped from 33.1 percent to 26.5 percent — the largest four-year drop in African American poverty in more than a quarter century (1967-1971) and 26.5 percent is the lowest level on record (data collected since 1959). While this decrease marks significant progress, President Clinton will continue to fight for policies that help to raise incomes andreduce poverty.
Child Poverty Among African Americans Down To Lowest Level on Record. In 1997, the African American child poverty rate fell from 39.9 percent in 1996 to 37.2 percent — its lowest level on record (data collected since 1959). Since 1993, the child poverty rate among African-Americans has dropped from 46.1 percent to 37.2 percent — the biggest four-year drop on record.
Minimum Wage Increased. The President raised the minimum wage to $5.15 an hour — directly benefitting 1.3 million African American workers.
Fighting for Paycheck Equity. The President has called on Congress to pass legislation to strengthen laws prohibiting wage discrimination. In 1997, the median earnings of African American women represented 65 percent of the median earnings for all men.
Two and a Half Times More Small Business Loans to African American Entrepreneurs. Between 1993 and 1997 the Small Business Administration (SBA) approved more than 9,000 loans to African American entrepreneurs under the 7(a) and 504 loan programs. In 1997 alone, the Small Business Administration granted 1,900 loans, worth $286 million, to African American small business owners, two and a half times the number of loans granted in 1992.
Supporting Minority Business Communities and Increasing Access to Capital. Building on the efforts of the SBA, Vice President Gore unveiled aggressive plans to increase lending and business services to the African American and Hispanic business communities nationwide. The SBA has set a goal of providing an estimated total of $1.86 billion in loans to African American small businesses over a three-year period. In addition, the Vice President announced an unprecedented agreement between SBA and the “Big Three” U.S. automakers to increase subcontracting awards to minority businesses by nearly $3 billion over the next three years — a 50 percent increase over current levels.
Ensuring Minority Business Owners Have a Fair Opportunity to Compete. The President signed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century into law on June 9, 1998. The Act protects the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, a program that ensures that minority and women owned businesses have an opportunity to compete for transportation projects. The Administration helped defeat an amendment to the House version of this bill that would have eliminated the DBE Program. In a different measure, the President also approved the creation of a new program to target assistance to minority-owned businesses in industries that continue to reflect the effects of discrimination. As a result, thousands of minority-owned businesses will be able to compete more effectively for government contracts.
Working on Behalf of Minority Farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working to strengthen programs and increase outreach targeted to underserved communities, including increasing its lending to minority and women producers. Between 1993 and 1998, direct lending to these groups has nearly doubled — from $46.5 million in FY93 to $91 million in FY98. The Administration is committed to righting any past wrongs by federal employees and worked with the Congress in 1998 to craft language contained in the Agriculture Appropriations bill that waives thetwo-year statute of limitations on discrimination complaints against USDA’s farm and housing loan programs. This waiver allows compensation to be provided to many minority farmers who were victims of discrimination by USDA from the early 1980’s through the 1990’s. On Jan. 5,1999, Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced an historic agreement to settle the discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture brought by African American farmers. As President Clinton said regarding the settlement, “Today’s action is an important step in Secretary Glickman’s ongoing efforts to rid the Agriculture Department of discriminatory behavior and redress any harm that has been caused by past discrimination against African-American family farmers.”
I'm voting for Obama but, I'm really not sure if Obama or Hillary have a real chance against a white, male republican candidate. I think Obama has a better chance because Hillary almost as many women as she does men. I think her crying on TV was a bad move. It makes men think she's weak. It may not be true, but thats how many men are gonna look at it.
Continued:
Expanding Investment in Urban and Rural Areas. Spurring economic development in distressed communities, the Clinton Administration has created 31 Empowerment Zones and more than 100 Enterprise Communities that are creating new jobs, new opportunities and stronger communities. The FY99 budget included $60 million in flexible discretionary funding for the next round of Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities.
Helping People Get to Work. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century authorizes $750 million over five years, and the FY99 budget included $75 million, for the President’s Access to Jobs initiative and reverse commute grants to help communities design innovative transportation solutions so that families who need to work can get to work.
Providing Incentives to Save. The President signed into law a five-year, $125 million demonstration program for Individual Development Accounts, providing incentives for low income families to save for a first home, higher education, or to start a new business, effectively completing his 1992 community empowerment agenda.
Assisting Families with Housing Vouchers. Congress approved the President’s full request for 50,000 new vouchers exclusively for people who need housing assistance to make the transition from welfare to work.
Homeownership Is Up. There are more than seven million new homeowners since the President took office. African American homeownership has increased 20 percent with 974,000 new African American homeowners since the first quarter of 1994.
Helping More Families Become Homeowners with the “Play-by-the-Rules” Homeownership Initiative. The FY99 budget included $25 million for the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation to start this new initiative that will make homeownership more accessible to families who have a good rental history but have difficulty purchasing a home; 10,000 lower-income and minority families who are currently renting will benefit from this initiative.
Expanding Low-Income Housing Tax Credit by 40 Percent. In 1993, President Clinton fulfilled hispromise to permanently extend the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, spurring the private development of low-income housing and helping to build 75,000-90,000 housing units each year. President Clinton has proposed to expand the credit by 40 percent. Over the next five years, this expansion would mean an additional 150,000 to 180,000 quality affordable rental units.
Building One America. The President has led the nation in an effort to become One America in the 21st Century: a place where we respect others’ differences and, at the same time, embrace the common values that unite us. Dr. John Hope Franklin, Advisory Board Chair, and Rev. Suzan Johnson Cook served on the Advisory Board to the President’s Initiative on Race, which the President charged with overseeing this effort. The President, the Administration and the Advisory Board were actively involved in public outreach efforts — including holding numerous public meetings and town halls — to engage Americans across the nation in this historic effort. One of the critical elements of the President’s Initiative on Race was identifying, highlighting and sharing with the nation promising practices — local and national efforts to promote racial reconciliation. The Advisory Board presented their final report to the President on September 18, 1998, and recommended that conversations on race continue.
Creating an Administration that Looks Like One America. The President appointed the most diverse Cabinet and Administration in history. The Clinton Cabinet includes three African Americans: Rodney Slater, Secretary of the Department of Transportation; Togo West, Jr., Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Alexis Herman, Secretary of Labor. Additionally, African Americans serve in the Administration as Surgeon General, Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Justice, Director of the National Park Service, Deputy Secretary of Commerce, Department of Education General Counsel and as the Department of Education’s Chief of Staff. Thirteen percent of Clinton Administration appointees are African American, which is twice as many African Americans as any previous administration. White House appointees include: Bob Nash, Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential Personnel; Thurgood Marshall, Jr., Assistant to the President and Director of Cabinet Affairs; Minyon Moore, Assistant to the President and Director of Political Affairs; Cheryl Mills, Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Counsel and Ben Johnson, Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Public Liaison; Alphonso (Al) Maldon, Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs; and Tracey Thornton, Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs.
Increasing the Number of Judicial Appointments. President Clinton has named 14 African Americans as U.S. Attorneys and 12 African Americans as U.S. Marshals. The President has nominated 57 African Americans to the Federal bench, 16 percent of his total Federal bench nominations.
Ordered an Assessment of Affirmative Action Programs. The President ordered a comprehensive review of the government’s affirmative action programs which concluded that affirmative action is still an effective and important tool to expand educational and economic opportunity to all Americans. This review of federal affirmative action programs has helped to ensure that these programs are fair and effective and that they can survive legal challenges. As a result, programs that benefit African Americans, including students, working men and women, and business owners, remain in effect andare more likely to be upheld by the courts.
Reducing Backlog and Expanding Alternative Dispute Resolution at Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The FY99 budget included $279 million — a $37 million increase over the previous year — to significantly expand EEOC’s alternative dispute resolution program and reduce the backlog of private sector discrimination complaints. The final budget fully funds the President’s request — providing the first real increase for EEOC in several years.
Creating a National Memorial to Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In July of 1998, President Clinton signed a new measure authorizing the creation of a national monument to Dr. King on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Opposed California Prop. 209 and Similar Measures. The Clinton Administration strongly opposes state and local initiatives to eliminate affirmative action programs that expand opportunities for African Americans and others. The Administration opposed Proposition 209 in California and filed amicus briefs opposing Prop. 209, which currently prohibits state affirmative action programs. The Clinton Administration opposed a similar initiative in Houston, which was defeated and opposed an initiative in Washington that is similar to Prop. 209. In all these cases, representatives of the administration have spoken out strongly against these initiatives as unfair and a barrier to equality.
@MTO:
People need to understand that when it comes to South Carolina and a Presidential election Democrats don't win that state when it's time to go head-to-head with a Republican. For us as people of color to get excited we are missing the big picture. I like Obama and Hilary but neither of them can not win a presidential election our best chance is Edwards and he doesn’t look to have a chance to win the nomination.
You guys need to stop with the Clinton bashing and trust that black folks have enough brains to pick a candidate without other parties twisting words or out right lying.You like Obama. We get that but twisting words or editing interviews to fit your own ends needs to stop or don't you believe in your own candidates words?
WELL ITS KINDA TRUE, LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE THEY PUT ON THE T.V THEY ONLY VOTED FOR OBAMA BECUASE HE'S BLACK AND HE'S A MAN AND THE MEN DONT WANNA BE RULED BY A WOMAN, THEY ASKED SOME PEOPLE WHAT ISSUES THEY LIKE AND 90% COULDNT EVEN TELL U WHAT HIS PLATFORM IS,I MEAN COME ON BLACK PEOPLEEEEEEEEE PLEASE KNOW THE ISSUES ABOUT A PERSON JUST DONT VOTE CUZ HE BLACK AND U BLACK.
This statement is so true that it's sad. Every black person that questioned my vote for Hillary gave me the opportunity to questioned them as to why they were voting for Obama, and the only answer I got from all of them was "he's a black man, and we gotta support our own." There were so many people out voting just because they wanted to support "the black man", but noone could say why they were supporting him other than because he's a black man, so I agree with Bill.
I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT BARRACK IS GOING TO BRING TO DA TABLE.. ALL I KEEP HEARING IS CHANGE AND HOW GREAT AMERICA IS AND WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE.. CHANGE WHAT? HE ONLY WON CUZ HE IS BLACK AND IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT HELL YEAH THEY WILL BE CHANGE WE ALL MIGHT AS WELL GO BACK TO MEXICO OR *** AFRICA IT WILL BE SAFER.
I believe that we should not distance ourselves or tarnish the memory of those who paved the way for us to achieve the success we have today. People are making a big deal (including the media) of President Clinton’s comparison of Senator Obama’s win in South Carolina to Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr.’s presidential run for the Democratic Party in 1984 and 1988. Most pundits (including CNN Contributor, Roland Martin) are saying this is a racial jab. I take offense to that. They make it seem like Obama can’t be compared to Jackson in order to win the nomination because it will make him too “black” to win. Give me a break! So, it is okay for Obama to look to South Carolina to rally the black vote and for black people to show pride on the polls and vote for a black man and confront the white establishment, but, it is not okay for a white man, who happens to be President Clinton, to make a comparison of Obama to Jackson because it appears to negate him? Both white and black media pundits need to just “chill” on the inferred race baiting by both Clinton and Obama camps. Obama and Jackson have many comparisons that do not relate to “race.” Jackson, like Shirley Chisholm, is a pioneer for Obama who gained big wins in winning Iowa and South Carolina caucuses. First, both Obama and Jackson hail from Illinois. Jackson had a message of “Keep Hope Alive.” Doesn’t it sound familiar with Obama’s emphasis of hope, change and slogans of “Yes We Can?” Also, both Obama and Jackson broke new ground in registering voters. In 1984, Jackson registered over one (1) million new voters, garnered 3.3 million votes and won five (5) primaries and caucuses, including Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Virginia and one of two separate contests in Mississippi. In the 1988 campaign, Jackson doubled his impact by registering over two (2) million new voters, won 6.9 million votes during the Democratic Party nomination process. Also, Jackson won eleven (11) contests: seven (7) primaries (Alabama, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico and Virginia) and four (4) caucuses (Delaware, Michigan, South Carolina and Vermont). If Jackson won both two caucuses in South Carolina in 1984 and 1988, respectively, then the comparison by President Clinton of Obama winning South Carolina is valid. With Obama focusing a majority of his efforts in South Carolina, do you honestly think that Obama did not believe that he could reciprocate the Jackson victories in the same state? Give me a break media pundits (including CNN Contributor, Roland Martin). I respect you my brother, Mr. Martin, but this is getting to be ridiculous. I expect this race baiting from CNN Contributor Bill Bennett, but you, come on now. Facts are facts. Stick to that, please so we all can lessen the divisive impact that race is playing in the 2008 politics by the media and both camps.
CLINTON NEEDS TO SIT HIS AZZ DOWN, PEOPLE KEEP SAYING WHAT THE CLINTONS DID FOR BLACKS THEY DIDN'T DO *** FOR BLACKS . CLINTON DID WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSE TO BECAUSE WE PUT HIM IN OFFICE MOST PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER THAT WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR HE REFUSE TO GRANT MARTN LUTHER KING NATIONAL HOLIDAY . DEEP DOWN INSIDE THEM CLINTON'S DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK FOLKS . THEY SAY WHAT THEY THINK WE WANT TO HEAR. THEY ARE REALLY SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS NOW . I AM IN MY 50'S SO I KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THEM CLINTONS. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A CLINTON AGAIN . I WILL VOTE FOR THE BEST NOT FOR THE COLOR OF THE SKIN . IT WILL NOT BE FOR ANOTHER CLINTON. THATS MY 59YRS OLD FEELING
@ coop1974a: great research! Maybe MTO can hire you for some REAL information on all the candidates... For anyone using Media Take Out as a serious source of information is sadly lacking the knowledge needed to participate in the elections. This is an ENTERTAINMENT medium, not serious news journalism. As coop1974a has done, we all need to investigate our choices and remember that despite all the good a polititian does (can do, promises to do; think Arnold Shwarzneiger and his promise to 'make schools better, not raise tuition fees', etc), there is always a bad side that is either very obvious or very subtle. On another note: I AM tired of seeing Bill every time I see Hillary. She is the one running for Prez, not Bill. You don't see the other candidates spouses at EVERY turn defending their husbands. It makes it seem as if this woman can not hold her own. Why does it seem like they are tag teaming Obama (and practically ignoring Edwards)? Perhaps Bill should have ran instead of her. @ randyz: It's all about the research! The way America is now compared to what it was like 20 years ago or so, we should have started running back to wherever in the early 90's if that was the case. Believe it or not, some of us are American because we were born here and are so disconnected from Africa, Mexico, or wherever that to even think that those places are 'safer' is absurd.
HELLO!!! Cause it's true, he did only win because of the black vote. Come on black people PLEASE read the issues and know about who you are voting for and not because of race. I heard so many people say they voting for Obama, but when asked why, because he is black and we got to stick for our own. PEOPLE, he can not win on the black vote alone, and Hillary is going to eat him on on super tuesday. She is leading in Cali, New Jersey, Florida, New York just to name a few.
SO IF THE CLINTONS WERE BLACK WOULD THEY BE SHOWING THEIR REAL COLORS???? WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK THE TRUTH AND IT'S NOT WHAT YOU FEEL SHOULD BE SAID THEN THEY'RE SHOWING THEIR REAL COLORS HUH? HILLARY IN AN ELECTION TO BE PRESIDENT, NOT RUNNING IN AN ELECTION TO BE ANYONES BEST FRIEND. PEOPLE WAKE UP AND REALIZE THESE ARE CHANGES WE WANT FOR AMERICA NOT JUST ONE RACE OF PEOPLE.
Obama got majority of the black votes because most black people is use to game and majority of them know when someone is full of sh-t like the clintons and most republicans. Obama is the BEST canidate that just so happens to be BLACK, what's the problem? Do I suppose to feel bad because I'm voting for a canidate that happens to be the same color I am? This is crazy as hell. There are White people who have been voting all there lives for a canidate just because he or she is white just like majority of them are voting for Hillary now. Hillary voted for the war and now all of a sudden she's against the war. Hillary will tell any ***-fu-cker Dumb enough to listen to her *** whatever she thinks they wants to hear.Ha!Ha! Since Bill Dumb *** want to talk about Jesse Jackson winning South Carolina, did Jesse win Iowa too? I never thought that the Clintons was like this, but now since I do know I wouldn't vote for them racest, spoiled, hatting *** bit-hes for nothing. And for all the slow black folks on this site that's trying to justify the comment Bill made, I thank GOD I didn't end up like you (smile) OBAMA 2008!!!
The Clintons have truly shown their true colors and been incredibly disrespectful to Obama. In her speeches after the primary, Hillary and Bill barely even acknowledged his win.
But this is not the least bit surprising. Billary can go to hell as far as i'm concerned. One of these days, coon-*** sellout black people like Bob Johnson will wake up and see these frauds for what they are.
Im not saying its meaningless
im saying do your homework. We have the internet which can go deep into the backgrounds of every candidate.
Use it god dammit. Once you study all candidates, you will realize that Ron Paul is really the only one addressing the root causes of problems and is the only one speaking directly to people.
The election has NOT already been decided if that were the case then Barack Obama wouldn't have one a single state. People VOTE get out there and VOTE even if you aren't sure your vote counts. It's unreal that a man with Baracks education, and good record would be painted as a "black" candidate when he hasn't done anything that would make anyone think he was only for the improvement of "black" people. With his IVY league education he's been on the streets working with the poor to help them...unlike people like Clinton who is out there to seperate and discriminate! Hillary isn't the lesser of two evils if it comes down to voting for Hillary or a republican at this point I almost would rather vote for a republican who's talking about something that I am interested in rather than Hillary's sell out azz. People the Clinton's aren't who we thought they were. If we don't unite behind one person who's new and UNCORRUPTED then chances are the economy will continue to look like it already does...headed to hell in a handbasket!!! Get with it...VOTE Barack. If you don't get your azz off the couch and vote at all when it's your turn then don't complain about anything. People died to vote. Women were stoned to death. Black people were burnt alive because of voting. PLEASE don't act like your vote doesn't count and decide not to go out and vote.
This is bigger than us...so, let's make something of it!
YusefX---are you kidding!!!!??? He's the one who was an editor of a racist publication that kept posting negative things about people of color. Do you watch the News? This guy is a complete racist. Even if you aren't a person of "color" having a President like this for your country will also cause him to show less respect to issues that will eventually effect you. Vote for some kind of cause and find the candidate that supports that cause.
SO WHAT IF BLACK PPL IS VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!! LOOK @ HOW MANY WONT BE VOTING FOR HIM CUZ HE IS BLACK!!!
ALSO HOW MANY PPL NOT VOTING OR NOT VOTING FOR HILLIARY BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN!!! I DONT HEAR SH^T ABOUT THAT!!!!!
SO WHAT IF BLACK PPL IS VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!! LOOK @ HOW MANY WONT BE VOTING FOR HIM CUZ HE IS BLACK!!!
ALSO HOW MANY PPL NOT VOTING OR NOT VOTING FOR HILLIARY BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN!!! I DONT HEAR SH^T ABOUT THAT!!!!!
MTO, you calling Clinton a race baiter but what are yall doing every freaking day on this site? It's obvious that with each day you find something to tear Hillary and Bill down and it all revolves around race. And face it, a lot of people are going to vote for Obama simply because he is black....they don't really have a clue as to what his agenda is or what he is bringing to the table. Their main reason for voting for him WILL be the fact that he is a black man. That's not enough.
Ladies and gentlemen Negroes, please don't be upset with MTO. Astute political pondents, Black, White, Republicans and Democrats, have all voiced the opinion that Bill Clinton is race baiting. The fact that Obama won bc of the Black vote is not the issue my insulted Negro friends, it's the fact that Bill Clinton drew a comparison to the Rev. Jesse Jackson‘s 84 campaign. This is a cue to White America that Obama is a candidate for "Black People"(as if a Black man that cares about his people is a bad thing). Kind of makes you wonder which group of people still carry the race issue and NEED TO JUST GET OVER IT. Hmmmmm.
WELL HE ONLY STATED THE FACT AND IT IS SAD SOME "IGNORANT" PEOPLE ARE CALLING HIM RACIST. BUT THE RACE IS STILL ON. I WILL SAY IT AND I AM BLACK "OBAMA WON COS HE IS BLACK". AND THAT'S A SHAME. PEOPLE CAN'T TELL BLACKS THE TRUTH, WITHOUT BEING RACIST. BUT I'LL TELL U WHAT, THE EARLIER SOME OF YOU COME OUT OF THE IGNORANT SHELL THE BETTER. IF SOME OF YOU STATE THAT BILL IS RACIST, GET READY TO SEE WHAT RACIST REALLY IS WHEN YOU GO OUT THERE AND LOOK FOR JOBS. OBAMA WILL NOT WIN, NOT COS HE'S BLACK. BUT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO CHANGE AMERICA. I CREDIT HIM FOR BEING AN INTELLIGENT SPEAKER AND AN INTELLIGENT PERSON, BUT THAT DON'T MAKE HIM ABLE TO RULE AMERICA.

PLS PLS PLS I BEG THINK B4 U CAST YOUR VOTE.
On CNN Thursday ***, Carl Bernstein, whose biography, A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, came out last year, talked about the often critical reaction Bill's behavior is generating in the Democratic party and even among long-time supporters. While Bernstein acknowledges the growing fear among influential supporters that Bill is "out of control," he also answers the more important question of whether his strategy might be working". [link to external website removed] His interview on CNN is posted on the Huffington Post/Blog, one of the most notable political blogs for Liberals/Democrats and unbiased.
This is Hillary's own Biographer, speaking out against what the Clinton's are doing and the fact that their goal is to stop at nothing to get to the White House...Support Obama, not because he is black people...it's our blessing that he is black..because we are tired of the good ol' "Status Quo", Bush's, Clinton's etc. When one of the Kennedy's own get up and stand up for Obama, that says a lot! Stand up because Obama is the reason for change and healing this country! Get educated and find out for yourselves what the Clinton's have been up to for years people and stop being bamboolzed! VOTE OBAMA! BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT CHOICE!
Bill did play the race card and if yall can't see that yall need to come borrow my glasses,Hilary left SC before the polls were closed and didnt thank her supporters, she snubbed SC when she sent Bill to campaign, even had blk ppl from NYC like Rangle, to rally the blk vote at the last minute, reality is that,they (Bilary) don't care about ppl black or white they just want to be in the white house.Don't draw Michelle Obama into this she never did any mudslinging like the Clinton's, I'm voting for Obama based on I need change, change from my high interest student loans, change for better jobs that I worked my *** off in college to get, better healthcare rates thats universal to all,I believe Obama is that change based on his record not on his skin color. I'm 24yrs old and never have I been so excited to vote or even particapate in this election process.
So by having Bob Johnson's Uncle Tom *** on Hillary's campaign bad mouthing Obama *** doin d dirty work for them...THEY arent tryna play d race card. and Magic Johnson 2!? although magic just showed up, he didnt disrespect anyone but f/u/c/*** him 2...if race didnt matter y r they getting dumb ***/i/g/g/e/rs like bob 2 pull crab moves on Obama. STFU Bill!!! we're beginning 2 c the real Clintons. better late than never.
LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE AND GET DOWN TO THE FACTS....HARD CORE REALITY. DURING CLINTON'S TERM HE DID A LOT FOR MINORITIES. HE ALSO REDUCED THE NATIONAL DEFICIT BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE CONSIDERABLY. CLINTON'S OFFICE IS IN HARLEM, NEW YORK AND HE CONTINUES TO HAVE A REPOIRE WITH MANY AFRICAN-AMERICANS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE CLINTONS FEEL THAT WE OWE THEM SOMETHING. THIS IS NOT HOW POLITICS WORKS. CONTRARY TO WHAT MANY BELIEVE, OBAMA IS NOT WINNING THESE PRIMARIES DUE TO RACE....BUT RATHER DUE TO CHANGE. MY PLAN WAS TO VOTE FOR HILLARY BUT I HAVE CHANGED MY POSITION. HILLARY IS INDECISIVE. SHE CANNOT MAKE UP HER MIND ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS - ONE MINUTE THEY CAN HAVE DRIVER'S LICENSES, THE NEXT MINUTE THEY CAN'T. SHE IS ALWAYS ABSENT AT THE IMPORTANT MEETINGS...ALWAYS FAILING TO SHOW UP. SHE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ABOUT EVERYONE HAVING FREE HEALTH CARE...AFTER GOING ON THE TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW, TOM GOT THE TRUTH OUT OF HER. THE FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS WON'T BE FREE AFTERALL. I AM A BLACK WOMAN WHO TRIED TO SELECT THE BEST CANDIDATE AND I'VE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT HILLARY. OBAMA HAS NOT BEEN CAUGHT UP IN ONE LIE...THEREFORE, HE GETS MY VOTE - PERIOD.
The media is emphasizing the fact that Obama got the majority of the black vote in South Carolina. But what they are not emphasizing is that OBAMA ONLY RECEIVED ROUGHLY 25% OF THE WHITE VOTE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 75% OF THE WHITE VOTERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA VOTED AGAINST OBAMA. WHITE PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR HILLARY AND EDWARDS JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE. TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, THEY ARE VOTING AGAINST THE "BLACK CANDIDATE." That is why Bill keeps trying to label Obama as the "black candidate." He wants the white racists (which were obviously 75% of the whites in South Carolina) to vote against the "black candidate."
And this is the man you ***'s you call the First Black President(Bill Clinton)....You ***'s make me sick...it's 2008 and you ***'s still thinking about voting....Every President we ever had Lied...You know I'm kind of glad Reagan died....Ah yeah...
For your info ***'s John Hanson was the First President of The United States.......and He was an Actual Black man....Look it up yourself....check out Nature Knows no Color Line by J.A. Rodgers.........a great Historian...READ ***'s READ.......
I can't understand why everyone is hating on Bill & Hilary @ one point, people were loving them..Now that Barack is in the picture..it's like people turn on them. I don't feel they are using the race card. They are damned if they do, damned if they don't. A lot of what they are saying has been taking out of context & I do believe people will vote for Barack simply b/c he's black..there is some truth to that!
@ mz_head_diva
Everytime you post a comment i cringe.
The Clinton's are intentionally using racial tactics by stating that Obama won because mostly black people voted for him in SC and it was expected...they realize that if this is turned into a racial competition then people will be turned off by Obama not because he is not a good candidate but because he is viewed as 'the black candidate'.
Obama has tried to run his candidacy as legitimate candidate that can speak to and touch ALL people not just black people.
I am not voting for Barack Obama ONLY because he is black...i am voting for him because I like his platform, he inspires people, he is intelligent, he is motivational AND because he is black. He is a GREAT leader and what we need now is a GREAT leader and not just another president. The only great thing that would come out of Hilary being president is that she is a woman...but she DOES NOT inspire people to act or change...she is not a GREAT leader...she is just a person running for president that happens to be a woman. If she was not a woman you would not know the difference between her and Edwards. People can tell the difference between Barack and everyone else because he has what it takes to get people talking and have them go out and do something to make that change he has spoken about since the beginning.
@JAMAICANPRINCESS10, IF YOUR ARGUMENT IS STUDENT LOANS, THEN YOU SHOULD BE SUPPORTING JOHN EDWARDS, HE'S THE CANIDATE I'VE HEARD TALKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF STUDENT LOANS AND GIVING EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO GO TO COLLEGE THE OPPORTUNITY. BY HAVING THE STATE PAYING FOR IT WITH THE STUDENT ONLY BEING REQUIRED TO WORK 10 HOURS A WEEK TO HELP TOWARDS THEIR EDUCATION. NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THIS BECAUSE I SUPPORT EDWARDS, BECAUSE I'M SUPPORTING HILLARY, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD OBAMA OR HILLARY INTRODUCE A PLAN OF THIS KIND TO HELP STUDENTS GO TO COLLEGE.
(monisha) Bill is the only person that continue to play the race card. Didn't nobody ask Bill dumb *** nothing about Jesse Jackson. Didn't nobody ask him sh-t about Al ***, yet everytime someone ask him about Obama these are the two individuals he continue to bring up. Now just because you and a few other dumb *** *** on this site would still rather overlook this for whatever reason just tells me that ya'll just plain *** stupid (smile) Obama is the only canidate that gets it. I'm so sorry that you and some of your dumb *** friends like you don't realize it. If Obama don't win (smile) then Hillary won't win, it's just that simple and (Rayne24) *** them Clintons!!! and your *** too Ha!Ha! Obama 2008
@ MASTER 7- I got you...this is why Ken Starr was after the Clintons with a vengence...And Why Paula Jones went public, else her azz what have been on this list too! SMDH...PLEASE RESEARCH PEOPLE...The last time I check, Obama was not linked to people dying and a world wind of shady politics like the Clintons...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! Do your research!!!

@Oneinamillion02x and @Januaryreign and @MPSF92
Why are you voting for Hilary? Is it because she is white? Is it because she is a woman? What does she stand for? What is here agenda? What has she specifically to helped Black people or America people in general? --------------------------------------------------------------------- @ randyz
If you don’t know what Obama stands for by the now it is YOUR fault. This is the internet; all you have to do is Google, and read. ------------------------------------------------------------------ @opining and @Olan
Co-sign! You know how to read in between the lines unlike most people on MTO.
Barrack did win because of the black vote but MTO is claiming that Bill said that Barrack won BECAUSE he was black, which is only half true anyway but no one seems to care. Bill needs to stop hatin before he loses all black people's respect, and Hillary needs to run her campaign based on her good points not because she can cry, her husband is a former president, and because she knows how to ruin someone's reputation.
mz_head_diva Why do I feel like your watching the news on another planet from ours, listen I been want to be clear that I'm not jumping on the Obama band wagon, I've been watching this election from the beginning. I have watched every debate and what I hear from Edwards is that he wants to end poverty and poverty this and that, from Hilary side it's been the mortgage crisis, but from Obama side including last *** speech he talks about education and student loans, goahead and go cast your vote for Hilary and her 35yr of experience (LOL). Because you full of it and you know it tootles...
And this is the man you ***'s call the First Black President(Bill Clinton)....You ***'s make me sick...it's 2008 and you ***'s still thinking about voting....Every President we ever had Lied...You know I'm kind of glad Reagan died....Ah yeah...
For your info ***'s John Hanson was the First President of The United States.......and He was an Actual Black man....Look it up yourself....check out Nature Knows no Color Line by J.A. Rodgers.........a great Historian...READ ***'s READ.......
If Clinton wasn't race baiting then why did he choose bring up the fact that Jesse Jackson won South Carolina and not anyone else?
According to Martin of CNN:
"...[Clinton] didn't mention his win [in South Carolina] in 1992. Or that of Vice President Al Gore in 2000, or even then-Sen. John Edwards' win in 2004."
Source: [link to external website removed]
South Carolina black votes got his white *** in office, he needs to stop ***-ing on his former black supporters
FU*K TRICKY D!CK BILL CLINTON. SO WHAT, BARAK WON IN A STATE THAT'S HIGHLY POPULATED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS. DRY PASTY FACE HILLARY IS GOING TO WIN IN SOME STATES THAT ARE POPULATED BY A MAJORITY OF WHITE FOLKS WHO SYMPATHIZE WITH HER, SO PUNK A$$ BILL'S PURPOSE FOR SAYING THAT ***!T WAS------EXACTLY! HE SAID IT BECAUSE HE IS A SORE LOSING ***. HE WAISTED ALL THAT TIME TRYING TO PUT OBAMA ON BLAST, JUST TO HAVE HIS LIES BLOW UP IN HIS FACE. (ONE DAY HE'LL LEARN-IT'LL PROBABLY BE THE DAY HILLARY IS KICKING HIM IN THE A$$ FOR CAUSING HER TO LOSE.)
@papamurf
Bill was basically saying, "So what, Jesse won twice in S.C. and he lost the bid for presidency anyway". He's trying to tell ya'll that Obama does not stand a chance to win the presidency no matter how many primaries/caucuses he wins. Exactly why I am going to vote for Obama. The Clintons have proven that they will stoop to any level to win - but then again they always did . . . .
u *** rite Obama bid laden only won SOUTH CAROLINA b-cuz he's black.. just look @ da majority, who lives in tht state alone. Obama is just like all of dem.. talk sh!t now.. den if he wins.. will do da same exact sh!t like wat bush is doin.. fu*k obama.. Hilliry yea she phony too.. but i still like her.. dats my b!tch.. i want her to win.. im sick of these men running da *** country.. *** if obama wins.. i bet diz whole country is goin to be upside down.. I hope he knows dat der r still cruel racist white folks out der up to diz day.. so he needs to watch out.. anyway Hilliry 4 president.. fu*k obama bid laden..
Ok, I've done my homework on all candidates and as far as policy, they are almost identical. Before Obama came to the U.S. Senate, he was an Illinois State Senator for 8 years. Hillary Clinton has touted her 35 years of experience but most of her experience comes as first lady. She was first lady of Arkansas for 11 year and first lady of the U.S. for 8 years. Then she became Senator in 2001 so thats another 7 years.
If I've been a judge for 20 years, does that mean my spouse can run for judge because I may have discussed a few cases with her and told her how I ran my courtroom? First Ladies dont dictate policy. Hillary touts her "accomplishments" as first lady but refuses to release records of this.
Obama is relatively inexperienced on the national scene but he is made to seem completely new to the political process. People may remember the good times of the 1990's but remember that those times also included lots of drama caused by the Clintons themselves.
Is it really good for a democracy that since I graduated from 8th grade in 1989 that only two families have been able to win the presidency? This country NEEDS a Barack Obama.
@SisterSoldier
You need to go BACK and REREAD my statements...I never ONCE said that I was voting for Hillary. If I did, then I implore you...PLEASE point it out to me!
I merely said that a lot of people were going to vote for Obama simply because he was black and had no idea what his agenda was...they just want to get one of us in there...and that *** is the truth and yall know it. All I'm saying is, the fact that he is black isn't enough to guarantee my vote. He could be another Clarence Thomas, for all yall know.
But time will tell...Obama or Hillary just might turn out to be something that neither of us want, making empty promises that they can't keep. Me, I have not even decided whom I'm going to vote for at this point. I don't particularly like any of the candidates out there, and I especially don't like all the mud-slinging. I'd rather wait a while longer before I make a decision.
@JamaicanPrincess10, exactly what is it that i'm full of as you see it? Nevermind, Thanks for the "Lady Like" comment. If you will go back and re-read what I wrote, I said that no other canidate has introduced a plan of this kind, where the state pays for you to go to college and you only work 10 hrs. a week to contribute to your education. Next time pay attention and comprehend what's being said.
I'm not going to write a book but Slick Willy is wrong. Obama won because people realize that he is the right man for the job!! GO BAMA GO!!!!! [SPAM][SPAM][SPAM]____ I am Kaly, a beautiful awesome girl from Texas. I'm wanna seek younger/older friends or penpals in my area...So I uploaded my hot and sexyyy photos on a premiere service interracialloves.com, a best US-based place for Younger Women and Older Women, or Older Women and Younger men to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out.
If you are sick of Hillary & Bill's ***!t race baiting campaign then contact the Democratic National Committee and tell them about it.
Then contact the media and tell them you WON'T BE VOTING FOR HILLARY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION because of her racist, lying campaigning.
Don't blog about it. BE ABOUT IT. Voice YOUR concerns.

If he said that its not like he's lieing....It seems as soon as Hillary made that statement about Dr. King (which she didnt mean anything rasict about what was stated) all the black people have taking his side.....Im sorry but it seems like everyone is forgeting the work the Clintons have done for us......
I guess here on planet earth is where I heard and read that plan of action. It's nice here on earth that is come join us at anytime.(lol) It's now time to move on. I've spent enough time on someone I'm not even voting for...NEXT!
Why do people keep coming on this site speaking of all the work the Clintons have done for us (black people). Don't get me wrong, I'm a Clinton supporter, but the Clintons didn't only help us. Everyone who was either middle or low class were benefits of Clinton when he was in office. There were more jobs available for everyone, if you didn't have a job the opportunity was still there for you to go out and get one. I would love for us to get of the (US) issue. Black people are not the only race in America. I love being black and being in America, but I would like to think that I care that someone other than my own race will benefit from whom ever is elected as our president.

MTO doesn't have to go out of their way to make the Clintons look bad. They are doing a fine job of it themselves. I heard the way Bill Clinton tried to dismiss Obama's South Carolina win based on race. Jessie Jackson won a caucus not a primary. Bill can't compare the 2. A primary if from the people for the people. Not only did Hilary lose, she got her but kicked. GOD don't like ugly and her attempt to use Bill and race is coward. Why can't she stand up on her own 2 feet. First the fake tears and now her husband. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
master 7 you are absolutely right... this is not the first time i am hearing of this.
Barack is trying to run a campaign for all people.. they are trying to make him out to be the 'black' candidate... they were shocked when he won in all white Iowa and did very well in new hampshire, which is mostly white also...Bill needs to step back and let hillary run her campaign... he is too vocal and he is really looking bad... what does hillary have to hide..
and to the poster who said people were only voting for barack because he was black, so what... how many times has someone beat u out of a job, just because they were white???
@shelly
You are correct Bill does need to step back. Because the media is taking what he says out of context. But once Barack mentioned that Hilary had worked for Wal-mart she had every right to mention that he had worked for a slum lord. Did you know that same slum lord sold Barack a house next to his for less then market value?
I just have to say this: I don't understand all this Clinton hate that you guys have going on in here. Haven't the Clintons been good to African Americans? Why ya'll acting like ya'll don't want them back in office? Obama talks about change...*** change...I'd rather bring back that same economy and everything else that was prosperous under the Clinton administration. And yeah, it's Hillary running and not Bill...but that still give her more of a track record than Obama. And secondly, ya'll are stupid in criticizing Bill for playing the race card when Obama (if he gets the nomination) will be doing the EXACT SAME THING! He's gonna play the race card to appeal to the white voters by saying "well, hey...I'm not ALL black, I'm HALF white just like the rest of you". Now don't get me wrong, I like Obama but you are crazy if you think he has any kind of chance of actually WINNING the *** presidency. This is nothing but media hype. And before anyone speculates...I am a BLACK WOMAN. And no, I won't be voting for Hillary in the primaries either, but at least she has a better chance than Obama. I personally like Edwards the best and that's who I'm voting for...but I just had to say something about this Clinton hate folks have going on in here. It's ridiculous...
To Jamaican Princess...what's so ironic about my posts? Cause I've been reading yours too, and you come off as a bandwagon voter anyway. Did you even vote the last election? What do you know about politics besides this media hype thats surrounding the Democratic candidates? Cause quite frankly...all three talk the same *** just in a different way. All three support the same things and values rooted in their party. Obama would make a great president. Hilary would make a great president. Edwards would make a great president. It's all about who has the best chance of winning (the presidency NOT the nomination). And it's NOT Obama...

Thank you Ayvian, yes they all would make great presidents, because they are all running on a democratic ticket. My whole point is if you haven't voted, do so, and by all means if the canidate you support doesn't win the primary, please don't let that stop you for voting in the november election when your voice really needs to be heard. A lot of people get upset when the person they want to win the primary doesn't. Well, I'm here to tell you that I didn't vote for Obama in my state, and yes, he did win in my state, but if he wins the primary I will be voting for him to win the presidency. We have to get a democrat in office it's imperative to our future, our kids future and any future grandchildren we might have.
I won't vote for Hillary should our party fail to nominate a decent candidate for the Primary.
F*ck the Dems if they want to back a race baiter like Bill and Hillary. I won't give them my vote.
They sure turned out to be great friends of blacks, didn't they? :rolling my eyes:
>> Haven't the Clintons been good to African Americans? <<
Sure, well, that is up for debate, but just because they were your "friends" one day, doesn't mean you ignore it when they stab you in the back...over and over and over again.
>> Why ya'll acting like ya'll don't want them back in office? <<
Um....because we don't?
Why don't you get some dignity and stop kissing the feet of people who turned on us faster than a KKK member could light a cross. If you feel you can do no better than Billary, by all means, vote for them.
Sorry, honey, the 90's are over. Get with it.
LOL LOL LOL LOL Ayvian WHAT IS your point arguing back and forth with me, you are going to vote for who you want to vote for anyways AND I WILL DO THE SAME,and aint a *** thing I can do Ayvian cut the *** honey, don't pick a fight with me get up and go vote do the *** thing, I maybe young and lovely but I sure aint stupid,I know the issues, suggest you go get informed and quit arguing with me on A GOSSIP website DUH!!!!!! and furthermore what does young have to do with anything? I never said I hated the Clinton's LOL matter fact if you read what I said from jump you would see my stance on things AND MY AGE DUH go ahead MISS FLIP FLOP LOL LOL LOL
To SoThenISaid, lmao...it's obvious you're pressed cause where do you see me kissing "Billary's" (lol) ***? I DON'T want her to get the nomination. But if it came down to her and Obama...SHE would have the best chance of winning the presidency. I wanna see a DEMOCRAT in office. I'm looking at the bigger picture. If you want a Republican in office, then by all means vote for Obama and help him get the nomination cause that's exactly what's to happen. I would be great to see him in office, but realistically, IT WON'T HAPPEN! Why ya'll can't see that? I'm not wasting my *** vote on someone that won't even have a chance to win the White House. That would be stupid. And the 90's may be over...but you're a *** fool if you don't want to reincarnate the same prosparity that DID occur in that era. I see you haven't decided to dispute any of THAT.
What MTO is reporting is not gossip right here it is just the facts. Bill said it, and he said worse things than that this campaign. Ok, he won because of blacks, but if a white candidate won, it would be because of blacks, too. And remember, Obama won Iowa. And the voter turnout was twice as much as expected - with Obama getting over half of the votes in a three man race. I used to like Bill, but now he looks like a drunk old man who can barely keep sober enough to campaign. What's going to happen when he starts messing around with the ladies around the white house - can Hillary handle that pressure? Not that she'll get that chance... Go Obama - people supporting Hillary need to wake up
Why would Ayvian say Obama won't win - where have you been - did you see all of the Kennedy's endorse Obama - do you know how many intelligent, influential whites and blacks are behind Obama - and not Hillary? The way the Clintons tag teamed Obama was disgraceful in everyone's eyes - well the ones who were actually watching
SEE THATS WHAT SOME OF YALL GET. TALKING ABOUT BILL CLINTON IS BLACK, YEA AIGHT. THAT MUTAF*CKER TURNED HIS BACK ON US SOME *** QUICK. HE IS REALLY LETTING HIS TRUE COLORS SHOW. THATS A *** SHAME. BILL DON'T GET MAD! THATS THE BEST YOU CAN DO? MAKE RACIAL STATEMENTS? WHAT A LOSER! THATS YOUR TYPICALLY WHITE TRASH! HIM AND HIS WIFE CAN F*CK OFF! REAL TALK! THEY AINT BLACK, NEVER WILL THEY BE BLACK. WHITE PEOPLE GONNA ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER. KNO DAT!
