this story is from the Chicago Tribune, its a story published before our local election in which Todd Stroger was running for Cook County Board president. what IT does NOT tell you is how the Dems concealed facts from the people in order to get Stroger on the ballot and keep any other Dems from challenging him it was a dirty underhanded democratic macine ploy and of course it worked but Obama was a part of it. that's Your "hero" Obama . HE was ORDERED by the Democratic party on who to endorse and that was Stroger . Obama is in every sense of the word a machine Democrat .INCIDENTALLY Todd Stroger a very heavily democratic machine player was elected and has proceeded to cut almost all county health care for the poor by closing down clinics in poor black areas (Stroger IS black himself) and is now on his way in getting rid of some law enforcement officers in Cook County and also prosecutors.

what this says is Obama is a politcian, nothing worng with that BUT he is UNSEASONED politician who does not CALL his OWN shots yet he is controlled by the party, he has NO CHITS to call in yet which is important to have he has NOT been a player LONG ENOUGH and has no political equity is MY POINT..and this is what you want a President with out HIS OWN clout?..ooh that;s scary

this country may be in the 21st Century, but I will bet on it that it is not going to elect a Black president....In no way am I trying to insult the African American people, but the youth are not the majority of how people get elected. It is the older people, and it is not going to happen. There are too many Caucasian Americans and others that will not vote for a Black man to be President, unless it was Colin Powell. Too much prejudice in this country still, he would have way more assassination attempts at him, Hillary stands a better chance of being elected. If John McCain runs against both of them, he could win it, according to what I have heard from the over 50 people....We've sure come a long way ain't we? (sarcastically)

I have NO political heroes in Washington
DC and I rather give my vote to Jack Chi- rack of France than to anyone else.

All is fair in love, war & politics. They make strange bed-fellows. No one said this race for the White house was going to be nice.

If you don't like Obama, don't vote for him. Simple as that.
