1. Your nose is growing.
I think that's called the Pinocchio Syndrome.

2. Someone should ask why Rep. John Lewis endorses Hillary?
In March of 2007 Obama made a speech in Selma Alabama. In attendance was Rep. John Lewis, the veteran civil rights activist and one of the most prominent African-American members of Congress. Obama did indeed give quite a moving and inspirational speech. In it he said:

… There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama.

One problem though, Obama was born in 1961, almost four years before the Edmund Pettus Bridge incident in Selma.

On "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma on U.S. Highway 80. They got only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state troopers and local sherrif's deputies attacked them with Billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into Selma. Two days later, on March 9, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. led a "symbolic" march to the bridge.

John Lewis knew better.


Seven months later John Lewis endorsed Hillary

In January of 2008 , anti-Hillary, anti John Lewis robo calls madethe rounds

7. Hillary and Ted Kennedy were also friends for a very long time. So?
In front of Lewis, and how Obama lied, is the issue of my post.

Ted Kennedy was not there.

5. Ignoring the reality of Oabama will not do this nation one bit of good.

Obama is a sham just waiting to be exposed by the right.

8. It is the phenomenal grassroots rallies. What is bringing these people out ?
You have to ask the question. Who in our history has been able to rally the American People like this. Where is the coverage of the Hillary Clinton Rallies if she is doing the same. I feel the American people have spoken and are screaming for change and shift from the status quo in Washington. They see Obama as the one who can lead the way. He comes from a humble background not a privileged one and can relate to the masses domestically and the leaders abroad and someone who has had connections with the underprivileged in his lifetime. He is a true inspiration. I see the future of the democratic party as and invigorating and inspiring one. I am so proud to be a democrat and.

God Help America if they try to steal this one regardless of which Democratic Candidate wins the nomination.

THIS IS TRUELY HISTORY IN THE MAKING AND WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE PART OF IT

YES WE CAN !
