I agree that Obama's campaign is sending signals of disorganization, but I don't think that we as community should be jumping on the bandwagon of declaring him a Black racist. The mainstream White and Jewish media did this twenty years ago with Rev. Jackson. You all know as evidenced by his words and deeds that Senator Obama doesn't have a racist bone in his body. As he said, it was stupidity on the part of his campaign but not a reflection of his feelings. It is outrageous that some are now trying to draw comparisons with the remarks of a long known racist like George Allen. Forgive the pun, be it is indeed like comparing night and day or Black and White. The memo was stupid, but it wasn't racist!

Dang, I think the Keystone Kops are running both Edwards' and Obama's campaigns.

Especially Obama's. First he has a legal counsel writing op-ed pieces supporting a pardon for Scooter Libby. That guy should have been fired the same day the op-ed piece ran, because it's now being spun that Obama supports a pardon for Scooter Libby. Even if he doesn't, his campaign lawyer has tied him to the whole scandal.

Then the "my Space" episode that still has the blogsphere pissed.

Dissing his pastor (retracted but confirmed he dissed his pastor) at his announcement of his candidacy.

And then we have Edwards acting like Malibu Barbie.

His $400 haircut is making him look like a rich white guy that is out of touch with the poverty platform on which he's campaigning.

The code-speak speech is not helping him with people of color, but maybe he's thinking he doesn't need us to win. Ok, then.

I know there's going to be bumps in the road, but they're acting like the road is nothing but pot holes.

But a lot of America doesn't want to vote for a black man or a woman. Is the gaffe that he acknowledged it and is using it to his advantage? I know I am willing but I'm not so confident America is willing.

Agree with you on both parts of this post.

I think we all know Edwards is being kept around 'just in case.'

I won't even get into the Punjab mess.
