Richardson Endorses ObamaFollow

Get on board brownies!

I hate Hillary. She grates on my last nerve.

What race debacle or race debate? His speech was actually quite compelling and necessary as Hillary and her campaign have been race-baiting for weeks and he just seemed really honest about what is facing America in regard to the racial schisms. It's about time some major politician talked about it. His numbers haven't really changed. So I think you might be overreacting.

I've been reading about this controversy for weeks. While he may only have one post, his viewpoint is how some people are spinning it and it is frustrating.

He's got one post...you need to learn to just move on.

Yes, we've all been reading about it for weeks, and most people on this board are in agreement. Those who aren't in agreement have a more sophisticated, if unpopular, response than whoever keep recreating a trolling sock. That was my only point. If you want to argue with a troll, a boring one, go for it. I was just trying to save you some energy!

Unfortunately Obama is through after this race debacle. How his advisors ever allowed him to get directly involved in a race debate is beyond me. On the other hand I don't think anyone really believes Hillary can defeat Mcain.

And I have no reason to believe Clinton could not defeat McCain. He's the Republican Kerry.

Earlier this week, Senator Barack Obama gave an historic speech. that addressed the issue of race with the eloquence, sincerity, and optimism we have come to expect of him. He inspired us by reminding us of the awesome potential residing in our own responsibility. He asked us to rise above our racially divided past, and to seize the opportunity to carry forward the work of many patriots of all races, who struggled and died to bring us together.

As a Hispanic, I was particularly touched by his words. I have been troubled by the demonization of immigrants--specifically Hispanics-- by too many in this country. Hate crimes against Hispanics are rising as a direct result and now, in tough economic times, people look for scapegoats and I fear that people will continue to exploit our racial differences--and place blame on others not like them. We all know the real culprit -- the disastrous economic policies of the Bush Administration!

Senator Obama has started a discussion in this country long overdue and rejects the politics of pitting race against race. He understands clearly that only by bringing people together, only by bridging our differences can we all succeed together as Americans.

His words are those of a courageous, thoughtful and inspiring leader, who understands that a house divided against itself cannot stand. And, after nearly eight years of George W. Bush, we desperately need such a leader.
