Re: [A-List] Obama Throws Reverend Wright "Under The Bus"

Agree with Goff. I'm sure if the public had a choice between the white
woman and the the black man and the black woman (Cynthia McKinney) Cynthia
would get all the votes. But lets not forget the white man Nader. But the
media bury them under a cloud of smoke. I agree, Obama is an empty suit,
an uncle Tom of the worst kind. And Hilary, and McCain. Well, like I say
if only Cynthia or Ralph or even Sam Webb at the Communist Party could get
some airtime.
