Bob Kerrey - Eraserhead

"Bob Kerrey Goes For Clinton" -

After the event, he mused about her chief competitor, Sen. Barack Obama.

"The fact that he's African American is a big deal. I do expect and hope that Hillary is the nominee of the party. But I hope he's used in some way. If he happens to be the nominee of the party and ends up being president, I think his capacity to influence in a positive way without spending a penny the behavior of a lot of underperforming black youth today is very important, and he's the only one who can reach them."

Kerrey continued, "It's probably not something that appeals to him, but I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim. There's a billion people on the planet that are Muslims and I think that experience is a big deal."

Even a third grader could deconstruct this - hey, white people, he's a Black Muslim! His name is Hussein! What kind of coded racist bullshit is that? And why do all African-American Democratic politicians have to be the saviors of African-American youth - Barack's message has been consistently that he wants to bring all people together - he's not running to be the President of African-Americans. The guy was Editor of the Law Review at Harvard - no small feat - but Kerrey pigeonholes him as strictly an African-American role model. Hey, Bob Kerrey, here's a flash: African-American politicians are allowed to address all issues - and they might even be right about more than a few of them!

of empty suit, jumping bumping Saint Obama. But I won't. In this country I still believe that people, even those who disagree with my beliefs have a right to their own.

But I see Obama believes you HAVE TO AGREE AND SUPPORT HIM. Damn another bush in the making.

I don't really care who Kerrey supports. I'm probably voting for Edwards, not Obama.

It's what Kerrey said that is really annoying.

Jumping bumping?
