DEL.ICIO.USMore on that Obama trip
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’ve just received a copy of an e-mail that’s making its way around Atlanta’s Democratic circles that seconds those rumors of a pending visit from Barack Obama.
Regular readers know that talk of a trip here from the Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting has been circulating for a few weeks. On Tuesday we were told a date: July 7. Now, according to the new e-mail, we have a time: 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
We still don’t know a location. But this e-mail repeats the Tuesday tip that Obama’s trip is primarily going to be about raising money.
Obama’s campaign has yet to confirm that the candidate will be visiting.

Will Obama be raising money from Blacks with slave blood? Will members of the SCLC be invited? If elected will the reparation checks handed out by Obama be tax free? Come on stand-in libs running the insider, go out and do you some “journalism.” It may take time away from your daily orgasms over Obama, but these questions must be answered.

Obama is a “Sleeper” Muslim.

Well, isn’t this the silliest thing you ever heard? Has anybody thought to call the candidate’s organization and confirm with the candidate. Betty says that is what a journalist is supposed to do. 1234 — still singing the same note? Macon, sweetie, you are sooooo last week. We’ve heard your racist rant over and over again, why don’t you exchange phone numbers with 12th grade IQ34 and the two of you can spout racist jargon until your jaws crack.The voters are gonna join Betty Boop and march right up to the ballot box and vote for better health care options, a decent education for our kids, an environment we can live with, and a turn around in the economy that will mean we can have life after retirement and our great grand kids won’t have to pay the debts W created.
Ya’ll rave on and the rest of us will get on with the business of the country.

I would never follow anyone named Betty Boop anywhere. Anytime. Furthermore, it is not racist to make fun of the racist “leaders” at the SCLC. They set that up. If anything, Dan is pointing out the pure unadulterated racism and backward mentality of some in my community. Yes, I am black but I do not blindly stay on the Democratic Plantation. What has the Democratic Party done for the African American community, besides ruining the black family with its, albeit well intentioned, but flawed welfare policies?
And another thing, just because one do not support Barack Obama, does not mean one is a a racist. Come on Betty, you are deeper than that. I hope.
