Bravo -- they'd look pretty foolish if they hadn't.

The Naacpers who call themselves "black" are more concerned about getting Obama who calls himself "black" reelected.

Gay activist have been very angry at Obama because he took their money four years ago after making some promises. It is election time again and Obama needs more money so speaks the magic words again. Who says words don't have power?

The problem is the issue is splitting the "black" community.

That is the problem for Obama. I see it as a good thing. I hope people would stop voting because of perceived race.

The gays have a problem too. They are being played. They should continue to use their energy and money to fight in the courts. It is a civil rights issue and they will eventually win.
