I find it funny that Hillary Clinton has been trying to use Sen. Obama's comments against him. If you have not heard the full quote, Obama said:
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. ...
On March 20, 2003 President George W. Bush made a live TV broadcast which aired across the nation, announcing the American military invasion of Iraq. He said that Saddam was a "damnable" dictator, with a nuclear weapons program, whose country was directly affiliated to terrorism, and who could be one of the biggest threats in the Middle East.
I hate to be another person commenting on one of the ever prominent issues of this current presidential race, but I just can't help it. Being a woman of color, and a Political Science major, race is an issue that is constantly brought up to me. I do have to admit thoough that I am slightly biased and tend to lean towards issues that affect minorities and women seeing that I fit both categories.

I am using the "Total Spent" only for this.
I snagged this off of an anti-Obama bulletin, answering questions as they came.

HE WANTS TO MAKE THE MINIMUM WAGE A 'LIVING WAGE
What's wrong with that?

HE VOTED WITH DEMOCRATIC PARTY 96% OF 251 VOTES
Probably because he IS a Democrat...

I was thinking about the 2008 election, and the democratic candidates especially. More specifically, I was pondering that subconcious question: Who has it worse? Blacks or Women? Who has been more oppressed? Borack or Hilary?
I was out at a club one night recently in our nation’s capital, and I stumbled upon a young man wearing a shirt showing the faces of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, that said “Bros before Hoes” in a patriotic red, white and blue.
As the presidential campaign for 2008 continues on, I can't help but take notice to how people stand on different issues. I can see now that major issues concerning Iraq, the economy, and healthcare are all headlining these campaigns -- and it begs the question: "What do we really want as the American people?"
The answer is simple, right?
