To answer jackpine:Yes Obama was singing to Hillary.Maybe you remember the song it was an old ballad:“Get Your Ass Out Of This Race And Take Your Honky Tonk Husband With You.“It is available on CD and soon will be part of an album called “White Bitch”.

Not to detract from the racism and the sexism…but doesn’t that picture look they’re about to start singing a duet?  What song would they sing together?  Ebony and Ivory is too cliche…

I agree with Ms. Molloff, at least about the distraction from serious issues.  This peripheral story line and the attacking back and forth is beginning to drive me crazy. 

We’ve already balkanized the nation into Democrats and Republicans, must we break it down further yet?  This is how “they” will conquer us, by first setting us at each other’s throats.  Whether these candidates are witting or unwitting, they are part of the problem.

So Gomerspile,

Your ‘disclaimer’ is right on the mark, since this is obviously sexist and racist. More than that though, it would seem to spell your apparently very red-neck ignorance, not to mention calling attention to the fact that you’re just a low-life pervert.

Seriously, how does Michelle Obama’s appearance, (or your gutter-like interpretation of it) connect in anyway at all, to the content of this article? Do you see a photo of her anywhere here? I only see Hillary and Barak. Is there a MENTION of her in the piece?

Nope, not that I can see. Matter of fact, I read a lot of news and campaign stuff, and I rarely see any photos of her. So, one might have to assume that you must go LOOKING for such things. Pretty creepy if ya ask me.

And, while the average person wouldn’t be likely to make such an association, one might wonder how YOU know exactly what a “TRANNY HOOKER” outside the Norfolk Naval Base looks like. Are you intimately familiar with them?

I ask because one ignorant enough to make that association to Mrs. Obama could surely be easily ‘fooled’ by a REAL ‘tranny hooker’. Don’t blame it on other folks if that’s what’s happen to you, and left you all traumatized. So, are you a victim of a Norfolk Base tranny hooker, or a victim of your own ignorance? Either way, you’re definitely a lower form of life than the likes of Michelle Obama would ever be likely to notice, so you’re observation in this matter is basically worthless.

And, when was she at the U of C, and which one? I must have missed her. Hillary was at a U of C here on Thursday, (I didn’t bother to skip my own lecture to attend her presence). But, I’d not heard of Mrs. Obama being at a U of C recently. That’s a long way from a spot outside the Norfolk Naval Base though.

All the republican troglodytes seem to love Obama and Obama has been praising Reagan lately.  Is this why so many Black leaders are supporting Clinton?  The more you learn about Obama the less there is to like.

When it comes to running the country… #By Thomas Billis, January 18: ”...a little green hermaphrodite who can run this country well is fine by me.No I was not describing Dennis Kuccinich…”

Note that nice pic at the top of the page, though. So different from the manufactured one Truthdig posted in the previous HC/BO race relations-cum-politics article this week. It had Hillary and Obama staring/snarling at each other but was actually TWO pics juxtaposed. I hope this one is the genuine article…..

But #Gomerspile, January 18, you ARE “a sexist” and you ARE “a racist” too, uhh. Michelle Obama is most probably the nicest person. Pity that she has subsumed her soul to her husband’s political career merely for the sake of her perceived needs as a wife and mother.

Still, she will have an excellent chance of becoming a US senator in future (after divorcing BO!?!?) and may still become the first black president of the USA if not the first woman president. Now that would be something…..

#By Jeanine Molloff, January 18: ”...a smokescreen to prevent any substantive discussion…. power brokers from groups like the Council of Foreign Relations are sitting back and watching the fun ....a closer examination of Obama’s or Clinton’s Iraq plan is NOT being conducted…”

Yes, it would be interesting to surmise to what extent Condi Rice IS Barack Obama’s handler. Perhaps she does all the things his wife won’t…..??? I know that when she gets those foreign ministers from other countries on board one of her US Navy ships and brushes up against them in those cramped gangways, they never say no to her requests to sign up to the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft project, regardless of the cost, uhh.

When it comes to running the country race only matters racists and sex only matters to sexists.Listen tyo what someone says and if it makes sense vote for them if not vote for someone else.For me a little green hermaphrodite who can run this country well is fine by me.No I was not describing Dennis Kuccinich.
