1. Ah the alleged African Supremacist church, again false as Snopes has pointed out.
2. Drug use? Come now, that just shows he's man enough to own up to his past.
3. Oh I hope they do try the whole covert muslim crap, that just makes him look better, nothing like drawing sympathetic support.

That's Hillary. Always has been, always will be. She's acting like she got dumped by the quarterback in high school, and this is what most people see in Hillary, going all the way back to 1992. What would she do if North Korea refused to meet with her? Or Iran?

This is the REAL Hillary. Her handlers did well with her for 6 months or so, but it wasn't going to last.

You and me both honey. You and me both!

Although Odinga is an Anglican, he referred to Islam as the "one true religion" and scorned Christians as "worshipers of the cross." Obama strongly supports Odinga who claims to be his cousin. As Daniel Johnson reported recently in the New York Sun, during his 2006 visit to Kenya, Obama was so outspoken in his support for Odinga that the Kenyan government complained to the State Department that Obama was interfering with the internal politics of the country. After the Dec. 27 elections Obama interrupted a campaign appearance in New Hampshire to take a call from Odinga.
(There is much more in the article)

Considering this is a newspaper in Israel, they are concerned with Kenyan politics -- this goes way over the heads of most Americans who barely know what goes on in our own country.

I saw this clip earlier today...and it reinforced to me what a terrific actor she is.
YOU ARE SOOOOOO RIGHT! The losing candidate always goes on the attack instead of sticking to their message. I didn't always despise Hillary, I have grown to feeling this way based upon they way she has run her campaign, DISGUSTING DIRTY! To think there was a time I would have considered voting for her if she was the nominee. EEK! That women will never get my vote.

Now she's really getting desperate.

So what is the big deal. She speaks the truth while Obama keeps lying to you. She is right about being older and wiser. At 40 something you know nothing, at 50 something you begin to understand life, at 60 wisdom has finally taken hold. I think she is the perfect age to lead. At 70 something you might have wisdom still if you could only remember what it was.

Hopefully people are intelligent enough to make a decision based on the candidate's qualifications only and not the media hype.
