Obama announces more N.C. stops


Barack Obama is making a two-day swing through North Carolina next week.

Obama's campaign had already announced a rally at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill on Monday night. The campaign just announced that he will also visit Wilson and Hickory.

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

Can anyone tell us WHY Chelsea Clinton attended church services at a predominately WHITE church on Sunday in Asheville, instead of the usual
democrat SOP of visiting a BLACK church?

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

wizard 101, it isn't just the political machines run by Kennedy and Kerry.

Check out Obama's finances at http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barack_Obama/Campaign_Financing

It looks like a lot of communications companies have given a lot of money to his campaigns, and oil companies, and finance companies, and insurance companies. How can he say he doesn't take special interest money when he's taking all that money from company owners and executives and lobbyists?

And that article in the LA Times suggests that Obama is not as clean as his claims to not taking any PAC money suggests too.

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

Will someone please ask him about the report today in the LA times? It looks like he was taking money in return for his recommendation that Illinois taxpayers fund something a businessman named Blackwell wanted done, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and didn't disclose the conflict of interest on his Illinois State Legislature conflict of interest forms.

Read the article at www.latimes.com -- click on the politics section if they don't have the headline on the front page.

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

I know North Carolina has basically made its mind up for their candidate of choice - I voted early for my candidate as well - I am a senior citizen African American and I voted for the only candidate of hope and change - wrong - I voted for HILLARY CLINTON - for those that have been told there was no way to obtain their hopes and dreams - Hillary Clint is a symbolic figure of both hopes and dreams.

I have followed the Clintons for decades as they were helping our black community with homeless shelters and jobs from California to Mississippi - Bill was just recently in New Orleans with Brad Pitt to help reconstruct taht wonderful city - Hillary herself did a rally there even though New Orleans did not give her the vote - Obama was too busy with his campaign - guess he already got his votes.

Obamas WORDS of change in Washington DC of the old style politics does not ring true - why then accept the endorsements of old time politicans such as Kerry and Kennedy -

Taxes - well the economists say if his capital gain tax goes through - the rich will get richer and the poor will get more taxes taken out -

I wish my younger brothers and sisters in North Carolina could see what I have seen in the last many years - the race issue is being driven by our own people not the Clintons - and they say race is an issue - 80 to 90 % of our own people are voting for Obama - even my own relatives and neighbors are voting black - I say vote conscience and what is best for us all - NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE ANYONE A FREE RIDE regardless of color.

GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA

Who is the vile Jim Hunt endorsing? If Obomba is headed to Wulson, ole James B. better speak up!!

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

Many people are taking Wright's speeches and replacing the word "black" by "white". If the result sounds Ku Klux Klannish, people are deducing that Wright is racist. The footage is extremely powerful. It will undoubtedly do some damage not only to Obama but also to the North Carolina statesmen who are associated with him.

The reactions of voters will probably set off chain reactions of resentment. But it may be the beginning of a process of true progress in race relations because the problem will be on the table.

There is another problem, however, which is even more pernicious: Sexism. While African Americans may observe that no one of their minority has ever been president, women also observe that no one of their MAJORITY has ever been president. Black women have begun to realize that they are members of this under-represented majority and I really think that this change will really begin to show in North Carolina.

As an American woman living in France, I am trying to follow the election on internet and cannot locate statistics for North Carolina more recent than April 16. Yet I know the figures have changed from Obama up 13% to something much closer. I'd like to warn North Carolina citizens that I honestly have the impression that internet is being manipulated.

My native state of Pennsylvania resisted the huge ad campaign by the Obama committee. I hope you will also get hard information on what the candidate has done to get an idea what kind of president the candidate will become.

Re: Obama announces more N.C. stops

Shouldn't someone ask Obama the following questions when he comes to North Carolina?

Shouldn't Barack Obama work to change the Anti-White preaching in his own church before he has the audacity to hope for anyone's vote?

Why did Obama expose his daughters to the Anti-White/Victimization Ideology of Black Liberation Theology?

How many times can a person hear about the "White Oppressors" before he begins believing that, as Rev. Wright described America, the "US of KKK-A" owes him - big time?
