		<description>I think he will eventually - but the question is, &quot;Which group?&quot; &quot;Where?&quot; &quot;When?&quot;  I&#039;m sure he has invitations - and it will be interesting to see if he pisses away his pedigree by going to speak to the NAACP or some other quasi-Black group.</description>

		<description>LP:  

That sounds good.  I&#039;d feel better if you freely chose to keep the pool &quot;colored&quot; (it&#039;s a big world out there), but however we get to that end game works fine for me.

In all seriousness, work it out.  Make it happen.

BTW:  Have Black folks seen the last of Barack Obama (for awhile)?  I&#039;ve gotta check his schedule.  I know he pledged his undying support to the lunatic Zionists over at AIPAC.  He won&#039;t be going home to Trinity.  I wonder he&#039;ll next find himself in a room full of black folk that are neither elected officials, preachers or big-money fundraisers.  

I&#039;m gonna count the days.</description>

		<description>I find your terms most agreeable, T3. I&#039;ll even throw in a bribe to the police to ignore us &quot;uppity negroes&quot; and keep the mace out of our eyes while we kickin it! (Poor Cedric Benson - I guess we better keep the white girls out the pool, too, huh?)

But seriously, don&#039;t be surprised if you see that title on some random book about Black people that you&#039;ve spied at the local bookseller. You will be duly acknowledged, and invited to all pool parties; but in a book with a title like that, it may be best to change your identity in order to protect the innocent...</description>

		<description>T3 - he had to and it was the right move. It sucks that he even has to blow smoke up any Clinton&#039;s ass, but this is the stupid tightrope one must operate when ousting the party&#039;s first family. It was well done.

To answer Mizzo&#039;s initial question about Obama&#039;s chances: we have to be appropriately cynical about the number of voters who will not vote for him simply because he&#039;s a black man. But I still think he stands a very good chance against McCain -- especially if he continues his current line on McCain as being equivalent to four more years of George Bush both economically and on foreign policy.

One warning, though: Outside of the media kerfuffle about Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger last weekend, the press has been kind of hands off. However, the political press loves John McCain -- LOVES him more than they like kicking around a Clinton (much as I dislike Hillary Clinton, they said some noxiously sexist ish about her). Now with Hillary effectively done at the top of a ticket, watch for the white guys on cable news shows to take new shots at Obama, the Democratic Nominee.</description>

		<description>Of course I would.  I only surrender rights if I am offered an acceptable privilege.  If the privileges you extend might include, for example, 3 years of pool parties in your new digs post-screenplay deal, that would be most acceptable.</description>

		<description>Sankofa:

We are agreed about the accuracy and utility of the word &quot;white.&quot;  

STN:  Don&#039;t you think he did a masterful job of &quot;blowing smoke up her ass&quot;?  I bet her cheeks were a nice rosy red after that.</description>

		<description>Mizzo - the funny thing is that most of the Appalachia states are rarely in play for ANY Democratic nominee. Hillary can&#039;t be on his VP ticket -- it&#039;s political suicide for Obama, and contrasts all his rhetoric.

The decision not to drop out now is all about Hillary Clinton&#039;s entitlement complex as a figurehead of the Democratic Party (how dare I lose to this upstart when I am a high-ranking Senator and former First Lady) and, sadly, as a white woman. It has very little to do with considering what her supporters may actually want.</description>

		<description>T3

I hear you lion, in this case i chose to be guilty of a sweeping generalization because I dislike the discription &quot;white&quot;, which to me means squat linguistically or psychologically ( i liberated myself a long time ago)

&quot;he’ll have to be “crewed up” and roll deep&quot;, shit man where be the sign up sheet, if you don&#039;t stand for something...know what i am saying?

LOL at the columbine sugestion, wouldn&#039;t folks all over be spitting out their &quot;courage juice&#039; at that moment!

“Whatever the outcome, his ascent will allow young people to dream more important dreams than becoming POTUS…and that’s important.”

True dat!</description>

		<description>Hillary is setting herself up for 2012. 

She also thinks she can force Barack&#039;s hand and become his running mate because he&#039;ll never get Appalachia if he doesn&#039;t. You&#039;ll also hear the pundits proclaim he can&#039;t win the big states without her with eyes and expressions of squalor. 



&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Whatever the outcome, his ascent will allow young people to dream more important dreams than becoming POTUS…and that’s important.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;



T3 for me that&#039;s all it&#039;s about. Nothing more, nothing less.</description>
