Well, it's true.

I wonder who leaked the story to the Washington Post?

Mmmmmm.

Hillary? Yes, I think so.

The Clintons play hardball.

[Octavius Hite]

Well, the current coke-head-in-chief doesn't seem to bother anyone, so I doubt voters will care. And yes the Clintons play to win, and have not lost in 20 years. Watch Primary Colors for proof of that.

I googled 'obama cocaine' and got this:

....In the book, Obama acknowledges that he used cocaine as a high school student but rejected heroin. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he says.


Why did he make the admission?


In an interview during his Senate race two years ago, Obama said he admitted using drugs because he thought it was important for "young people who are already in circumstances that are far more difficult than mine to know that you can make mistakes and still recover.


A book and a two year old interview. Is there something newer than this?

I would vote for Obama. At least, he seems articulate, willing to listen to other voices (I don't mean inside his head), but I would have to hear about his economic policies, building bridges with other countries, working on America's competitiveness and boosting funding for education and scientific research.

So now the qualifications for being president are "willingness to listen" and "being articulate." Well, dang, then let's nominate Chris Rock, and he's funny to boot.

Obama's being bandied about (by Oprah and the rest of the sympathetic liberal media) for one reason only: he's black. If he were just another white guy with high hopes, he'd be, well, just another white guy with high hopes.

If Isaiah Thomas, the former Detroit Piston great, can say that Larry Bird wouldn't have gotten much notice if he had been black, then I sure as heck can make this claim about Obama.

And never trust Chicago politicos.

Obama never had a chance in hell to win the presidency in the first place.. those who believed that were just fooling themselves..

It's going to come down to this perception for American voters... woman(D), minority(D) or white guy(R)... and again, Democrats will be scratching their heads wondering how they blew another election...

Democrats HAVE to find a white, male canidate to have any serious chance.. sad, pathetic even, but very true.

SarcasmKills:

"very true," is that like "very round?"

How about sorta pregnant

Maybe you need to stop beating your head on the keyboard.

And many well-informed news pundits believe that Colin Powell would have been president had he pursued it. So your claim that being black automatically excludes him from serious consideration is spurious.

Pligg:

"absolutely correct" (another piece of redundancy). Nice conspiracy theory there. Regicide would be proud of you. Sorry, but I doubt Hillary would (or Bill) would let anyone play her that way. She's too shrewd for that ploy. Get real.

[stevemcgarrett]

"very true" as opposed to "somewhat true?" C'mon, perfectly acceptable in terms of what? informal English? Has nothing to do with grammar, by the way.

Your explanation why Powell couldn't win is a stretch, to put it mildly. Powell didn't run because his wife suffers from chronic depression and despises the limelight and he is devoted to her first and foremost.
