Obama clinched a stolen nomination with the MI delegates he hijacked. His endorsements from superdelegates have no integrity and are irresponsible.

No doubt Obama will be defeated in November when he will crash and burn and the Democratic Party will be a train wreck.

Hillary Clinton supporters should work for Obama’s resounding defeat and vote for McCain. I will vote for McCain in a swing state. Obama, his supporters, and the DNC must be 'punished' for not playing fair and square.

Superdelegates have failed in their responsibility to endorse Sen. Clinton as the best qualified and the strongest presidential candidate to win the general election in a landslide victory hands down.

Whining, playing dirty, incoherent rambling, enhanced heroic stories, blaming others for one's own mistakes, finger pointing... The list goes on. I once was a Clinton supporter, but she will have to polish up her tactics to win me back. I might vote for her next election if she runs and plays clean.

do you understand the political machine? You have to win and win fairly to get the nomination, you do not get the non thru gratis you have to earn it. Did she?

Barack Obama's father was a polygamist.Jun 9th, 2008 - 22:35:07

His mother, Ann Dunham, was Barack Obama Senior's second wife. His first wife was in Africa. His third wife(?) Ruth was white and his eighth child was by a different African woman. He had 8 children by 4 different women.


The Guardian, via Watching America, had this report on Friday about the Obama clan:

Obama Sr moved to Nairobi, where he took a correspondence course to complete his schooling, studying at night while working as an office clerk by day. He wrote to dozens of US universities. The University of Hawaii replied, offering him a scholarship. Leaving behind his infant son, Roy, and his young wife, Kezia, who was pregnant with their daughter, Auma, he flew to America.

Being the university's first African student did not discourage him. He graduated top of his economics class. He married a white student from Kansas, Ann Dunham, and they had a son, who he gave his full name: Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama Sr continued his studies at Harvard, but his marriage soon faltered. When he returned to Nairobi a few years later it was with a different white American woman, Ruth. Together, they had two children. But Obama Sr was still seeing his first wife, Kezia, on the side, and she bore him two more sons. Later, as ethnic rivalries hampered his career as a senior government official - the Obamas are Luo, while the government was largely Kikuyu-dominated - and as he increasingly turned to drink, he had an eighth child by another Kenyan woman.
