What I like most about Obama was the path he chose. He could have made millions working as a lawyer, but instead became a civil servant, his roots sewn in my hometown Chicago on the southside, which is in economic despair to say the least, and hes working for change, but the only way to do it is to do it yourself, not asking the man for change, but rather be the man of change. I'm proud to say OBAMA 08!

I know plenty of middle class White guys who are hurting because they've lost long-term jobs to people overseas. These guys are corporate white-collar businessmen & hurting. I think Obama is going to bring this country back to where we should be as the UNITED States instead of politics as usual. GO OBAMA!!!

Cornel West is a joke

[emilybarbar]

Pastor Manning is fiercely opposed to the gentrification of Harlem and calls for its residents to boycott its shops, restaurants, doctors, banks and churches.

Cornell West is an extremely intelligent, compassionate and caring black man. I love everything he stands for and yes he loves black people..he was the head of Black Studies at Harvard. But he loves PEOPLE in general...a truly great man.

to say that africa or america or any country would be better if a woman was in charge is very ignorant because what does it mean that a woman will be better as if men are foolish?? who bulit this mordern day world?? not to say that women are ignorant nor are they stupid or slow (i know many smart intellegent women) but people are people and regardless of gender or race a person will always fail and become corrupt in some way juss becareful of what you think person, women are just as bad as men.
