Clinton still the first black President?
I know the black community loved Bill Clinton with a passion.

He needs to watch it though because if he and Hillary continue on their latest bashing on Obama, the black community will turn against them in a heart beat if we haven't already!

As of right now, as hard as it will be to do, I might stay home if Hillary is nominated, she is pissing me off in a big way, she needs to back off Obama and take her divisive rhetoric somewhere else, if Obama is the more intelligent, more honest, more capable candidate, she needs to just accept it!

She is acting as if she deserves a free pass because she is Bill Clinton's wife.

I can't wait for Gore to endorse Obama!

2. to be fair to Clinton
she's just doing what she has to do to win the nomination. I think all will be forgiven whether she wins or loses. She has enough capital with Democrats to still be highly thought of well after this primary season ends.

9. Not with me she doesn't
This election has exposed a schism within the party that will not be healed after the convention. The hillary people have poisoned the well with their loyalty oaths and DLC complicity and racist innuendo. If they win it will be even worse because they will think that the rest of us will just sit there and take it, making them even more arrogant and insufferable. So no, it's not alright. I will not "get over it". All will not be forgiven nor forgotten.

5. Yep, she's alienating voters that might otherwise vote for her IF she won the nomination.
I really have issues voting for someone that plays dirty politics like this. Speaks volumes of their credibility & character. Of course we already knew character was always a question with the Clintons, but do we really need to go through it all over again?

10. The "black community" isn't monolithic, we have differing opinions, just like white folks do.

11. If any white man should be called the first "black president" it'd be Carter. Man grew up with black
people working on the farm.

12. Is that all Obama supporters have to offer--childish taunts and threats?
Can't you come up with anything original? Still smarting that she won a more sizable state?
