- infinity777, on 02/16/2008, -22/+97A lead in Texas and Ohio is all that matters at this point if we want to get him in the whitehouse. Help him any way you can, they actually need people to drive to Ohio to work as volunteers and I am seriously considering it. We need to heal this country and this man can do it.

- goldenhearted, on 02/16/2008, -17/+52I may not be an American citizen but based on the things I've read and seen on his website, his speeches, etc. I have to admit, he is the "it" president for the US and I'll be glad for America if they got this guy in the oval office.
I mean, President Barack Obama? I like the sound of that. I really do. - packetstorm, on 02/16/2008, -7/+41People need to stop with that crap. Have you bothered to go to his website and READ his platform and the SPECIFICS on how he plans to heal the country? It's all right there.

- Gerfervonbob, on 02/16/2008, -4/+24Actually I think the tide has turned for Ron Paul on Digg, hes no longer "in."
- lhughey, on 02/16/2008, -1/+18If you grow up mixed and look black, people both white and black will let you know what you are.
- HenvY, on 02/16/2008, -6/+21Coming from a guy who sincerely compared him to Jesse Jackson that gave me a little laugh.
- bitterman316, on 02/16/2008, -1/+16you´re right, he is clearly white.
/sarcasm
Not that there´s anything wrong with it. - RansomHoldiay, on 02/16/2008, -4/+19ehh, it's a lot easier for people just to write stupid comments then to do research.
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -0/+13Like he says, "when I try to catch a taxi in NYC, I'm black."
- loopist, on 02/16/2008, -18/+31I'm kinda sick of all these political diggs....
Ron Paul = God
Obama = The next coming of JFK
McCain = Senile
Bush = Devil

- Duffeh, on 02/16/2008, -1/+13In 2000 the United States, alongside 188 other countries pledged their aid to the Millennium Development Goals (those goals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_goals). In 2002, and 2005 (at the United Nations World Summit) the Bush administration re-affirmed that pledge. Source: http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c110:3:./tem ...
The original House legislation was introduced by Smith (D), and Bachus (R) alongside 84 co-sponsors on March 7, 2007. Source: (Summary) http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HR013 ...

The initial senate version was introduced by Obama (D), Hagel (R), and Cantwell (D) alongside 6 co-sponsors. Source: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.024 ...
The bill is the PRODUCT OF BILL CLINTON AND GEORGE BUSHES PROMISES TO THE UNITED NATIONS (as well as, get this, on recommendation by the 9/11 commission). It does not in any way submit the United States, or any aspect there-of, to the United Nations (as those douches O'Reilly and Beck say). There is no such language in neither the house or senate bills. The funds and decisions would be, and remain, under the authority of the Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and/or the Director of Foreign Assistance (the Administrator of the Department of State and USAID) Henreitta H. Fore.

Henrietta H. Fore, was appointed directly by George Bush and Condoleeza Rice on May 7, '07.

there... over 50 pages of "substance"
... you conclusion-jumping, research-lacking, too-lazy-to-look-on-his-goddamn-website, douche - sparced, on 02/16/2008, -6/+16Get the Scarlett and Natalie photos onto the front page.
- theghoul, on 02/16/2008, -11/+21Obama's mother was white and his father black. Yet he's considered black?
Does anyone see anything wrong with that?
I think living in Hawaii helped his identity issues, even though the rest of US still struggles with that.
Go Obama! - DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -0/+9Yay, no more thinking about what's going on in the government! Party hardy!
- noelsusman, on 02/16/2008, -2/+11How dare a presidential candidate be a human being who has experimented with drugs (along with almost 100 million other Americans)! How dare he change his mind about something! How dare he not win his President of the Law Review campaign by a landslide! Who the hell let a human being run for President? America needs robots!!!
- DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -2/+11Yeah, he's technically still in the race, much in the same way that samples of smallpox technically still do exist in storage in a few places in the world.
- dxgg, on 02/16/2008, -1/+10An anti-american/anti-white church? Cite your sources.
- DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -0/+9What, that there are people that knew him since boyhood, or the fact that he was a boy once?
- FrugFlapdoodle, on 02/16/2008, -1/+9Funny, when I read your comment I think racist.
- DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -0/+8Furthermore, McCain will have been dead for over a year and a half when he finishes his second term.
- HellDonut, on 02/16/2008, -7/+14Yet again, do some reading.

You people need to stop repeating the same crap over and over again. The fact that he is a good speaker doesn't make him less of a leader. - GoneGreen, on 02/16/2008, -2/+9You do realize how selfish you sound right? What is wrong with giving someone a little help when they need it most? Your views are the same as the ones which got us where we are now.... I'm glad you get to suffer for the coming weeks, months and years as we fix the problems that the all knowing, all seeing republicans have caused.
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 02/16/2008, -0/+7I thought he proclaimed himself "Cablinasian" or some such nonsense.
- Jok3r, on 02/16/2008, -1/+8So you rather have some dinosaur whos more in tune with politics from a different age, or do we want a young president who can relate to society now. Why do you think so many people loved JFK?
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -10/+16Most contradictory comment of the day.
- runCMD, on 02/16/2008, -0/+6That's about the age he was when he was smoking pot and scoring blow when he could afford it. At this tender age he harbored rage against the white establishment. Not making this up -it's in his own book. The one you never hear about anymore.
- FunkyMo, on 02/16/2008, -2/+8Barack Obama is a truly inspiring person. He's going to be (if we elect him!) the remedy for this country's ills. Since his words speak louder than my praise can do justice, here's an anecdote from his keynote at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that exemplifies why he should be our next president:
“My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or ”blessed,” believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined -- They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential.
I can remember a very particular day of my youth, during which I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said 'You're moving with your auntie and your uncle in Bel-Air.' I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought, naw, forget it, yo holmes to Bel-Air. I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and said to the cabbie 'Yo holmes smell ya later.' I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.”
GO8ama! - DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7"Flip-flopping" = worst phrase to be introduced into the political discussion during my lifetime.
- perryjoyce, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7Yes, because new Apple products and XKCD comics are so much more important than getting someone with intelligence into the most powerful seat in the country.
- Anzat, on 02/17/2008, -0/+6Hillary's only for idiots who don't do any research about the candidates.
- Cyrus042, on 02/16/2008, -1/+7So if people vote against him, it's because of race, but if they vote for him, it's not?
- Rice, on 02/16/2008, -8/+13That was a very long article... but it was worth it. It was a pleasurable read and gave some insight into Barack's character. My favourite aspect was listening to Barack talking about baskeball.
- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/16/2008, -3/+8That's how racists see it.
- DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -3/+808RonPaul08: As a Ron Paul supporter, surely you must be able to relate to the frustration of repeatedly being accused of jumping on a bandwagon, and having to defend over and over that you actually understand and agree with Dr. Paul's policies. Certainly Digg had its share of Paul fluff pieces during the heyday of his campaign. Think about this next time you are thinking about making asinine blanket statements about Barack Obama and his supporters.

- futureb, on 02/16/2008, -2/+7you mean the part before he was President of the Harvard Law Review?
- pilot3033, on 02/16/2008, -5/+10In fact it makes him a better one.
Charisma is an essential leadership and diplomatic trait. - sanman, on 02/16/2008, -0/+4Hey Weezie! It's Lionel!
And he's flirting with the honkies again! - HYPEractive, on 02/16/2008, -0/+4He always talks about his mother. She's his inspiration for his plan on healthcare. Also, have you ever thought that his grandparents DON'T want all that attention?
- DephexTwin, on 02/16/2008, -0/+4Wow.... you're actually being serious, aren't you.
- streak, on 02/16/2008, -0/+4The pictures are to counter the realization that, if elected, Obama will be 47 years old when he takes office and he'll turn 50 during his first term. That's OLD!
