So yeah, people are overly sensitive, but I think this is great- it shows that there are people in the US who feel optimistic. Not that people who aren't overly sensitive aren't optimistic. Rather it just proves that there are all sorts of people out there.

I believe that Obama is doing his best to stay above the fray. Whereas Clinton's (or comments people attribute to her campaign) are pervasive and come from all quarters, I do not see the same on the Obama side.

As far as Jesse Jackson's comments sullying Obama- that may be, but I think in evaluating the situation you have to consider the source. People who feel passionately about their cause and come out fighting, like Jesse Jackson, will say whatever they believe. It is difficult to keep such people in check (and I wouldn't want to keep them in check anyway). Whereas people like Bob Kerrey are establishment and will do what they are told (meaning Clinton is responsible).

So I believe there are some people out there who will make anti-Obama comments but you can't necessarily blame Hillary (or the other campaigns), and there are some people out there who will make anti-Hillary comments but you can't blame Obama (or anyone else).

I think what is important to note is that the snide comments are mostly aimed at Obama. I would LIKE to believe that Obama tries to set a higher standard and most of his supporters follow his lead.

Whereas Clinton just continues with politics as usual and her supporters follow her lead. Not exactly the “change” I'm looking for in America….

If it continues much longer, the Democratic candidates are going to shoot themselves in their proverbial feet. Dumb strategy, all the way around.

Look at how the elite left treat whites who are religious versus blacks who are religious. Look at how the elite left reacts to white who make poor life choices versus blacks who make poor life decisions.

Except that they're not playing the race card, in fact the Obama campaign has been conspicuously silent about all the comments. It's the Hillary campaign that's been issuing one stream of dumb little crypto-insulting comments after another, not just the hip black friend thing but Bob Kerrey's shameless “don't think of Obama as a Muslim Madrassah-raised terrorist aider and abettor, not that *I'd* actually think such unclean thoughts,” along with Hillary's top campaign staffers making insinuations about Obama's drug-dealing and so forth.

And surprisingly, not a peep from the Obama campaign, no race card playing whatsoever, none– rather, with the Clintons so thoroughly pushing out one such cryptoracist comment after another, the idea is to get the media's attention while of course, ignoring the detail that Obama hasn't responded since people, without bothering to check the facts, might conclude that “Obama is playing the race card just like other Black candidates” and thereby make Obama less appealing for White voters. It's transparent what the Clintons are doing.

You know, I'm a pale scorch-in-the-sun white independent with Democratic-leaning tendencies who was actually leaning toward Hillary's camp before this. But I won't vote for her. Almost any Republican would thrash Hillary Clinton in the general election– Huckabee, McCain, any of them. A lot of that will be because moderates and independents will turn away from her in droves, if for no other reason than because of the way that her arrogant campaign insults our intelligence to think that we can't see through them easily.

None of them will be able to beat Obama, so R's- pray for Hillary, and watch Somebodty slit his wrists w another R Prez, which would throw his world and racial theories into the crapper.

Yet those who support Hillary feel the same way about Obama and the GOP. If the GOP plays its cards right. Elects a likeable fellah with moderate overtones not joinned at the hip with the RR……….the election is theres.

Huckabee?……..no. GOP listen up, he might be likeable but a Preacher? Come on. Don't panic now fellas. The Democrats are going to eat themselves and their babies before the primaries are done.

Then Obama can retaliate by being “creative” (heh, heh) with a Hillary doll.
