BARACK Obama’s depressing message by Daniel Henninger:
Unhinge yourself from the mesmerizing voice. What one hears is a message that is largely negative, illustrated with anecdotes of unremitting bleakness. Heavy with class warfare, it is a speech that could have been delivered by a Democrat in 1968, or even 1928.
[OMITTED: Henninger's edit of Obama's Madison speech.]
Unease about the economy is real, but Sen. Obama is selling more than that. He is selling deep grievance over the structure of American society….
Whatever else, Barack Obama isn’t talking sunshine in America. He’s talking fast and furious. People not yet baptized into Obamamania may start to look past the dazzling theatrics to see a vision of the United States that is quite grim and could wear thin in the general election.
Look past him? No chance. Get him in and then rubbish him - that’s the plan, right?

Ms. Obama, VP Chicago Hosp, that charges minorities 6 times as much, isn’t cold hearted enough; she also caused hundreds to loose their 11.hr jobs, to be more efficient she said! In 05, elected to the BOD Westchester-based TreeHouse Foods, she received $12,000 and $33,000 from a subsidiaries, in Nov announced closing its La Junta, plant, that claimed the jobs of 153 workers, most of them Hispanic! Huge blow to a rural town jobs paid a starting wage of $11hr, Company pays top execs like MICHELLE OBAMA tens of millions a year while destroying middle-class America. Raises the question not only about corporate values but about Barrack Obama’s own values. Specifically, while he bashes Wal-Mart, why does his wife, make $45,000 and up a year serving on the board of Chicago comp that pays her a very hefty amount of money while laying off mostly minority workers in economically deprived areas? No. 1 customer is Wal-Mart???
Obamas attack on middle class and minorities- The Crowns and employees of their family-run holding company have given at least $195,000 to Obama’s presidential campaign. Maytag shut the Galesburg plant after Labor Day 2004 Union member say senator did little to save jobs in the blue-collar town of 37,000. Obama connection to Maytag: Lester Crown, company’s director’s records show, has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Obama’s campaigns. Maytag shut the Galesburg plant after Labor Day 2004.
Black voters are choosing black candidate based on skin color not merit and not what he can do to help our failing country. What a serious shame…we are giving away another election. Thank the media! Obamas speeches address just black voters. The same person who claims he is not running on race? It sure isn’t experience or who is best to run this country. Don’t believe it will work in the general election He truly had divided voters since SC win. No one is so naive as not to think that black resentment towards whites could render Senator Obama unelectable. NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE MEDIA TO SCRUTINIZE OBAMA LIKE THEY HAVE DONE TO EVERYOTHER NON-BLACK CANDIDATE. MEDIA HAS FAILED AMERICAN VOTERS
Funny how all the Obama supporters are calling Latino’s & Asians racist because they did not vote for Obama. Even though we have voted for many African-Americans who now sit in various city’s as Councilman, State Representatives, School District officials, etc.Let’s talk about the intimidation that is going on in the Latino community with some African-Americans harassing people on the phone and beating up people for not voting for Obama. Latinos vote for Hillary because we believe in her and know she will do whatever it takes to help our country get back on its feet. Create jobs, health-care plan that makes sense, economy, etc… It’s odd nobody is noting the fact that the majority of African-Americans “are” voting for Obama because he is a black candidate and not for what he can do or not do for the country. Only on his Hopes & Dreams speeches with nothing substantial being brought to the table. The sad thing is that the people who will suffer the most under Obama’s health care plan are the poorest African-Americans. As for those who are saying Hillary supporters are ignorant and don’t have a clue, let me remind you Obama will need these votes to win the nomination. Obama supporters are such mean spirited people and they have the nerve to advocate for a person who will supposedly bring unity among all parties.

America is in trouble. Americans don’t want to hear bad news? Let’s pretend everything’s fine then and put on our fine rose-colored glasses and go on with the way things are. The people in power would like nothing better than to have a complacent public willing to listen to pretty little lies (campaign promises) talking about an optimistic future, while they continue to work for their own financial enrichment at the expense of most of the population and the destruction of our country’s strength.
Obama had the courage to oppose the Iraq War <before Congress gave approval for it. He’s earned my vote, for that alone.

I don’t know - I think our love of Bill may override our loathing of Hillary and take her all the way to the White House.
