Each one of us knows that talk is cheap. And all that I heard from Hillary were loud talk about AIDS, Sudan, and the Supreme Court judgment. Don't forget that this couple team called the Clintons were in power from 1992 to 2000 and throughout their tenure did not appoint a single black person to any serious position of importance. Clarence Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court and Colin Powell to be Chairman Joints Chief of Staffs by Bush Sr.. The Clinton couple cannot actually point to one single initiative or appointment that was geared toward the improvement of the status of black people here or abroad. Hillary was talking about Sudan as if the couple cared anything about Africa: The Rwanda genocide happened under Bill & Hillary Clinton's watch in 1994. Why didn't they do something about that? The bottom line is that we know that Bill & Hillary Clinton don't care about the welfare of Black people. They just want to come and hangout with us when they're in trouble or when they need our votes. On Obama's part, I believe that it will be counter productive for him to (see what happened to Michael Steele once the media lured him into focusing his campaign on Black people in Maryland last November). He cannot copy Hillary's rhetoric; “criticizing white people for current black people woes”. Whether the elite media likes it or not and whether the black elites support him or not, Obama is the most popular politician among African Americans today. If there's a real vote today, He'll win with an unbelievable huge margin - I live in the community so I know. OBAMA SHOULD KEEP HIS MESSAGE FOCUSED ON AMERICA AS A WHOLE. The real black America understands that, and so does Jesse Jackson Sr. (forget about the sell-outs that are forever indebted to Bill & Hillary for who-knows-$) Meanwhile the author of the article should check out Michelle – She’s a sister among sisters and she raised $1 mil in DC the other day. Moreover, the editorial suggestion that by talking loud about the problem that affect black in front of black, “Hillary nailed” the debate and the moment was erroneous.
