Was wondering when the dems/media would revert to race card once obama fell behind. Their siting a Stanford poll. Who did Stanford contact for poll THE kkk? If race is still such a problem, how did obama make it this far? lib media also using race card with obamas connection to fannie mae exec Franklin Raines. Rains was also an advisor on obamas election team. Rains is also African American. So to downplay the obama fannie may connection, the lib media is calling anyone who mentions it a racist

President Bush to destroy peace on earth wants McCain win the coming elections. Barack Obama of Democrat party is already ahead as regards convincing. But the irony is that Pakistan is being made the test lab for this purpose. As Bush having hardly 7weeks left for the campaign, wants to gamble on Usama or any of his team members dead or alive to win the US Presidential elections. They have no idea where Usama is but Pakistan is being unfairly bombed & destroyed for McCain to win US elections
