OK - we'll stick with only 532 dead Iraqi's this month due to US military intervention as being "good news", neh?

Alphaape,

Nice Post, It would be nice if the rah rah right and the white guilt left would finally get over it and judge the candidates on the content of their character not the color of their skin. We have two fine candidates running now, both that represent the best…

Thank you Mr. Obama for telling it like it really is. Any white candidate who would call the failures that he knows so well in the black community would be......villified.
