What, Toni doesn't believe we understand metaphor? Anyway, Blackness is precious real estate that belongs to us(blacks) all. No one black person has the right to bestow blackness upon any person. She was over-exuberant in her description and it came back to haunt and embarrass primarily African Americans. Especially in light of the Clinton's role in the Rwanda Genocide and Haitian refugee crisis.
Bill's bestowed blackness is permanently revoked!
Ed Rendell: Helllllllllllllll No!
The HILLARY
"STEP DOWN
WITH GRACE"
CAMPAIGN
Following N. Carolina and Indiana, it has become obvious that there is absolutely no way Hillary Clinton can win the Democratic nomination. With 6 primaries remaining it is impossible for her to catch Obama in the delegate count, number of states won or even the popular vote, so the bottom line is she must face the fact that OBAMA HAS WON ! Hillary's staying in the race is extremely harmful to the Democratic Party.....therefore....
Contact the DNC to let
Howard Dean know that we
feel that Hillary should step
down in a respectful manner
since she is obvously not going
to win the nomination (without cheating....which will not be tolerated)
This would be the right gesture for her political future as well as the right gesture for the Democratic Party. Just Call The DNC at
(202)863-8000
.....respectfully request
the DNC to ask Hillary to step-down NOW ! Then it will be time to concentrate
on The Re-Birth Of America !

What better messenger than Rendell to advocate for BO to those whites who Rendell claims may not vote for BO because he's black. Make Rendell sell it. I don't want to come this far and loose to McCain.
and that video just goes to point out the double standard we have in this country. obama is half-white but so many people said his preacher's words are evidence of his dislike of white people. rendell praises farrakhan to the hilt and yet no requires hillary to distance herself from him.
what a country.

Cindy McCain says she'll never release her tax returns
WASHINGTON - Cindy McCain says she will never make her tax returns public even if her husband wins the White House and she becomes the first lady.
"You know, my husband and I have been married 28 years and we have filed separate tax returns for 28 years. This is a privacy issue. My husband is the candidate," Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting John McCain, said in an interview aired on NBC's "Today" on Thursday.
Asked if she would release her tax returns if she was first lady, Cindy McCain said: "No."
-Gee, I wonder if the MSM will take Mrs. McCain to task for her remarks?
Of course not.
But if Michelle Obama had said it, you know it would be, "What Are The Obamas Trying To Hide?"
IOKIYAR.
I second that emotion. As I said, Hillary's about to choke the life out of her own campaign and future in the DNC...
but the question is...will the DNC have a backbone and stand up for what's right?
yes, she said no. and i think it was dumbest thing her campaign could say.

Obamamania sweeps the Hill (with video)
Obamamania-
"I wasn't campaigning, I was just saying hello"
"No, I'm just walking..."
"No, I haven't talked with her about being my VP, that is premature"
The questions these people ask...
I really love the part about the elementary school students. My son is only 6 years old and one day, he said..."mom is that Orack obama" (he pronounces it that way).
I was so shocked that he knew, because I hadn't talked to him about the election at that point, but he must've been paying attention to the news (along with me). I assumed he was too young to take it in. However, afterwards I talked to him about it and now he sings Barack praises!
It's a really good feeling that Barack is even moving children. Isn't that amazing?
I told my son that he has similarities to Barack Obama and could grow up and be President just like him.
My son smiled.
I've always resented that appellation on Clinton and he definitely use it to his political advantage with us supporting him unconditionally.
squarepeg...I completely agree with you comments.
Bill Clinton's bizarre sexual escapades while in the White House could only be likened to the behavior of black men by people who have axes to grind, whether justified or not, against black men. Only a fool could think that he could carry on a sexual dalliance with a 20 year old intern in the Oval Office and not be discovered. I don't think Bill should have been impeached even if he did lie but I knew he was lying the moment the story came out. And so did Hillary.
Yesteday I saw a video in which Andrew Young (a Clinton supporter) said that Bill Clinton had been with far more black women than Obama, so he too continues to foster the ludicrous notion of Billy Jeff's 'blackness.' In 2008 no less, despite WJC's continued racist remarks while stumping for his racist wife.
At the Black State of the Union or whatever Smiley's symposium is called, Dick Gregory totally schooled black folks on "tricking" Billy Jeff into believing he was the first black president. Check out the video on youtube.
I thoroughly enjoy the Jack and Jill Politics blog, but I have to tell you that I am one who reads intelligence estimates and economic studies. I also watch Bloomberg TV and have Oanda Money Exchange as one of the tabs on my browser. I like knowing a lot about as much as possible.
