Hopefully it's the same one I have, get your own on your own. Both of these are extremely flawed candidates. They are, what they are. As I explain to people, set your life in a way that both parties have as little impact on your survival as possible and you'll be headed in the right...

I love the sentiment, I just fear that the best outcome may be trumped by emotional dreaming and wishes. :)

Interestingly enough, having talked with Barak, your assessment of McCain is how I feel about him. Decent, but way wrong. And really not sure how to get to his own ends. You would say he'd surround himself with learned? Book smart is not always the way to go. I say that because that is his inner...

Ok, sound reasoning is visible in your logic. For me though, the trouble is in his group for council. It does contain folks of real questionable judgement and character. When you're inexperienced you tend to follow the advice of others rather than trust your own common sense. I would rather...

Hmm, kinda' what a community activist is supposed to be good at doing. Inspiring the masses! No clue what to do them afterwards though. Just get 'em hyped until the person with the answers comes along. You then claim the cred for motating the people and the success is tagged yours! That's the...

I'm 48. I can tell you that several black folks in my grouping are not enthused with Barak. McCain's selection bites into the Oprah demographic also. :)

That doesn't mean we'll all be voting for him. He'll carry IL for sure. But it won't be everyone. There is a small tide turning here. They really do need to be careful with the women. They (you) can't just assume. :)

Major insult to Tiger here. e practiced and had a track record. :) You're listening to a combination of OTHERS ideas when you hear him talk about stuff. He proudly admits that he makes up his mind as he goes.

Clearly you have not been in my black communities. I just left a lunch today where the call was to make sure to vote for Barak because he's like us. Don't know if you've checked closely but there are plenty of women who feel that way also. :)

LOL! Shame we all know them that well, and yet we do nothing about it. There actually isn't much we can do about it I fear. :)

MJ of preachers. I like that. I'll make sure I tell him that the next time I attend. That is one of the major issues that I have with most of what Barak has said and done. A mere $100k would make a major difference for his OWN family overseas. Yet, no action at all. He was able to go over...

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'll be adjusting my income based on the situation. There is no way that I'd sit still for that kind of increase. Here's a nasty little secret, while both candidates propose allthis taxin' crap, they have made sure that they don't pay what they should...

Pabst, for every tick down in value that The Dog takes you, I'll gladly take the other side of the buy. He's hoping for a market value decline that just ain't there. Anytime you need a wingman.... :) You are dead on about the Obama connections. The trouble here is no one in the Obama camp...

The solution to this issue really was but one check away. I have several associates who do this for their African realitives. There are also several south side Chicago churches that have funded several projects in the regions also. T. D. Jakes (Potter's House) has done some things like this...

The bottom line here is he's not all that. PERIOD!!! :)

And the solo-face time concept would have been done in a commercial showing an empty chair with a clock underneath and a silence when John was asked a question. I think that might have been prtetty good. But since it didn't happen... :)

No more wrong than the Clintons having more face time at the convention than Obama. The Clintons are now going to sell the Obama message? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! That's sound and consistent with how this cycle has run all along. Very Barak-esque I'd say. :)

You know what. In regard to making the statement about what they were going to say, you're correct. I'm wrong! Noted! However, when chatting this morning with an actual person with the campaign I found that they did request that the debate get started when they found McCain wasn't there as...

They didn't mention it ONLY because McCain did better than they expected. And I DID speculate that they'd thow the probability of traffic in as an explanation. But since I'm in Chicago and do know some of the black folks who work for the campaign, it wouldn't be too hard to actually find out...

My understanding having talked to a couple of folks inside is that they, not the press, forced the start. The intention was to get face time and make McCain look bad for being late. The intention was to say later that John clearly didn't feel the need to be on-time for whatever reason. The...
