immenently more equipped than you are to comment on Obama's racial identity journey. With all the bias you are exhibiting, no way anybody can consider your opinions about "how Obama thinks" credible...and your ability to interpret his books...nonexistent. These books were written for progressive thinking, open minded readers.
I am unable to offer further comment in the absence of a McCain-speak incoherence translator.
By the way, he was not a teen when he wrote the books. He was on the threshold of his teenage years when he embarked on his journey.

Maybe you should read a little closer
Many of "these people" DID give her credit - but then expectations were SO LOW for her she didn't have to do much to look good.
and for the record, "she won the debate" is YOUR opinion, not mine and many others.
There was NO CLEAR winner - they both did a good job for *their* side. But at least BIDEN could and would answer the questions - and also pointed out many of HER statements were not factual... He also made clear that at least BUSH policies would not continue if he and Obama take the election.
If you want to obscure what your REAL agenda is, you duck the questions, keep repeating your mantra, and wink, and smile, and smirk. As I said, she did a fine job.
LOL. You really should keep closer track of
the news and the economy.
I have noticed that the closer we get to Tuesday -
The closer we get to the actual election day, the less the republicans are talking about their plan and how it would be better and shifted their focus entirely to talking about how bad Obama is and how horrible his plan would be.
I also seemed to notice that a few weeks ago when McCain left Obama out of it for a couple of days and focused on the real issues that he started gaining in the polls. It seems to me if the campain cannot even understand that the issues are what people want to hear about and run a campaign based on the issues, then how can you expect them to be able to run the United States of America the way it needs to be run?
Getting closer to July 4. Here's what NK groups are saying
This is a little long but it's 2 articles. Sounds like they are getting pumped up and ready for a fight. Funny, I don't remember 2 million troops fighting in the Korean War. Anybody else?
"Workers and GFTUK Members Meet to Protest against U.S. Imperialists |
|
|
Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- Workers and members of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea held a meeting on the bank of the River Taedong where the monument to the sinking of the U.S. ship of aggression "General Sherman" stands and the U.S. imperialist armed spy ship "Pueblo" is anchored on Tuesday on the occasion of the "June 25 the Day of the Struggle against U.S. Imperialism."
A reporter and speakers at the meeting recalled that the sworn enemy U.S. imperialists stretched the tentacles of aggression to Korea from more than a century ago and ignited a war of aggression to destroy the young DPRK in its cradle on June 25, 1950.
The Korean war was the most brazen-faced and brigandish war of aggression in the world history of wars and a savage war of genocide baffling the human imagination, they said.
Noting that the U.S. imperialists have imposed all sorts of misfortune and sufferings upon the Korean people during the history, they declared that should the U.S. imperialists ignite a war again, the army and people of the DPRK will fully mobilize the nation's capability for self-defence built in every way under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu, and wipe out the aggressors in this land to the last one and achieve the historic cause of national reunification.
They stressed the need for the workers and the members of the GFTUK to protect Kim Jong Il, who represents the destiny of the country and the nation, politically and ideologically at the cost of their lives and glorify the ever-victorious history of Songun Korea with the might of single-minded unity more powerful than a nuclear weapon, united closer around the headquarters of the revolution.
A letter of protest was read out at the meeting."

Agricultural Workers Vow to Take Revenge upon Enemy |
|
|
Pyongyang, June 24 (KCNA) -- A meeting of agricultural workers was held outside the Class Education Hall in Kaesong City on Tuesday to vow to take revenge upon the enemy on the occasion of "June 25, the day of the struggle against U.S. imperialism".
Kang Chang Uk, chairman of the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea, made a report at the meeting.
Speeches were made there.
Kang and the speakers said that the Korean war launched by the U.S. imperialists was the most brazen-faced and brigandish war of aggression to suffocate the DPRK and reduce the whole of Korea to their colony.
They condemned the thrice-cursed atrocities committed by the U.S. imperialists, recalling that they hurled more than two million troops including their aggressor forces and a huge quantity of war hardware into the Korean war, indiscriminately killing innocent people and reducing the cities, farm villages, industrial establishments, schools and hospitals to ashes.
They declared that the army and people in the DPRK will get fully prepared to go into action and would turn out to defend the country to the last in a do-or-die spirit, should the U.S. imperialists intrude into their fertile land even an inch.
The servicepersons and people in the DPRK will remain unfazed in face of any sanctions and blockade of the U.S. imperialists and are sure to win as long as they are under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu, and have invincible military power and their single-minded unity."

Actually, Hillary Clinton's healthcare plan was closer...sm
to socialized medicine than Obama's. Obama will keep private insurance companies and subsidize your premium if you earn below a certain amount. Also, there will be provisions where you can take your insurance with you if you change jobs, encourage preventative care, etc. For more detail check out this link.

I'd say Bush paid closer attention than did the Clinton administration!
Bin Laden was on the radar during the Clinton administration and yet the potential threat he posed was virtually ignored!
Oh yes, closer attention to their oil assets in the Middle East.....remember those invisible weapons

This post really makes me WANT to vote for Obama. I am undecided, but this pushes me closer to Obama
...Thanks for the info!
