A lot of Americans choose to support HRC.

Nobody would suggest that these groups are mutually exclusive, but it sounds awfully like some people are suggesting they're coincident.

I'd give Obama credit because his speech did adopt an attitude of willingness to actually have a dialog and to attempt to understand other people's points of view, without surrenduring his own perspective.

West Virginia has a very unique labor history, and the entirety of the state is within the Appalachian region, unlike - well - every other state with an Appalachian region.  

And one other thing I think we've got to remember: As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say, "That's a terrible statement," I grew up in a very segregated South, and I think that you have to cut some slack. And I'm going to be probably the only conservative in America who's going to say something like this, but I'm just telling you: We've got to cut some slack to people who grew up being called names, being told, "You have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie. You have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant. And you can't sit out there with everyone else. There's a separate waiting room in the doctor's office. Here's where you sit on the bus." And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder and resentment. And you have to just say, I probably would too. I probably would too. In fact, I may have had a more, more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.

Because he's African American. Because he's a black man, who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country. We only broke the back of civil rights, Jim Crow, in the 1960s here.

What oppression did Obama face in Hawaii?

40% Asian
28% white
20% mixed race
2%  black

Why would those reasons change in a General Election? If I don't like what he represents now why would I expect him to change.

I'll save my dream ticket for the Nominee and who they select as their running mate.

Obama supporters calling Hillary supporters racist don't help.

Thirty nine percent of registered voters said a woman running for president faces more obstacles while 33 percent said a black candidate does.

But the kicker was what appears to be an issue with the voters being more willing to be straight forward about other people they know being sexist or racist than their own self reporting.

More Americans report having recently heard what they consider racist remarks from people they know than sexist ones. Forty two percent of all surveyed, including 65 percent of blacks, said people they know have made racist remarks in the last few months. Thirty five percent, including 33 percent of women, say they have heard sexist remarks from someone they know recently...

There continue to be differences in how voters judge their own voting instincts and the instincts of other Americans. Just 6 percent of white voters say that all things being equal, they would prefer to vote for a white candidate, but 34 percent of white voters say that most people they know would not vote for a black person for president. And 29 percent are not sure that American is ready to elect a black president.

Isn't the argument on Talk Left, when it is political,  always that not only that Hillary is a superior candidate, but that Obama is nothing special?

I am asking with respect as someone who thought I was for Hillary. I even voted for her, and then realized I was tired of The Clinton's. I think this blog, which I read because it is sane, is deeply tired of the Obama people and Obama himself.

I know Blogs don't have all that much power, or Lieberman would not be helping McCain prove that McCain, like Hillary but unlike you-know-who has passed "The Commander-in-Chief Threshold", but why doesn't Big Tent say, "Look I used to back the  the guy reluctantly,  but he does too many bad things and he is unelectable"?

It might even sway some super, or plain delegates to sign on for Hillary. According to Taylor Marsh, half of Hillary's voters will not vote for Obama.

According to Cole, Fournier was calling Obama an "uppity negro."

Seriously - the title of the post is "Uppity Negro Alert."
