Bishop E.W. Jackson appeared on Fox News and demanded African Americans not to vote for Democrats, which would include President Obama. It is difficult to determine the number of African Americans who will follow Bishop Jackson's demand, or if any African American will pay any attention to the Bishop.

It is confounding that any Black leader, ordained or self styled should have the gall to make an appeal to African Americans to act against their own best interest on the grounds of baseless morality. How dare this Bishop equate abortion and gay marriage issues with voting that would have profound consequences on the future of this country and for Blacks in particular. This is an example of where religion has gone mad.

Bishop Jackson's priority is so far off, it's pathetic. The Bishop is worried about abortion and gay marriage while blacks have the highest unemployment rate; high incidents of crime and incarceration, high incidents of school dropouts, high incidents of disfunctional families, dilapidated neighbourhoods, high incidents of murder, and community decay. If religon was any good, how come Blacks have it so bad? Bishop Jackson and others like him should crawl into a hole and not disturb the balance of sanity in this critical moment. Blacks should rid themselves of these dupes.

The Obama administration has been on it's heel attempting to fight off the onslaught of the Republican attack about it's Libyan policies. This attack is led by Mitt Romney who is working hard to gain some foreign policy leverage. The Obama administration seems to be losing this battle due to poor crisis management communication.

From the beginning of the fateful event; where the American embassy was stormed, resulting in the death of four Americans, the administration has been unable to get its act together in presenting a cohesive explanation of events to the satisfaction of the public. Instead, they have allowed the republicans to frame the narrative, thereby putting the Whitehouse on the defensive. This is disappointing especially when the administration has a superior grasp of the issue. It is time for the Whitehouse to regroup and put together a clear narrative of events and effectively communicate this to the American public. President Obama has the opportunity to do this in the next debate.

Chief Justice Roberts in joining with the liberal wing of the court to uphold "Obamacare" shocked the world of American politics. The conservatives were stunned and the liberals pleasantly surprised.

The central player in this drama of course is chief justice Roberts. His decision to form a majority to uphold Obamacare was based strictly on pragmatic considerations. The truth of the matter is that Obamacare (AHC) is constitutional, and the individual mandate definitely passes the commerce smell test.

The argument is simple. There is a law that prohibits hospital emergency rooms from turning away uninsured patients. Jojane, the uninsured can access any hospital across state lines in America to get medical care. The ability to obtain medical care any where in the country by force of law makes Jojane an active nation-wide interstate commerce participator.

It’s such a delight to watch another arrogant republican bite the dust. Governor Sanford confesses adultery after beating about the bush with nonsensical gibberish. Sanford showed what has now become common place republican malady, illicit sex exploits.

These republicans are shameless and thoughtless hypocrites afflicted with grave moral misgivings. Most of the republicans are deprived and depraved sexual perverts parading as holier than thou do no wrong types.

If only they can become members of the human race again, then perhaps, they can be shown some compassion when they fall flat on their face doing things normal humans do.

After several days of air bombardment, the Israeli army invaded Gaza with the mission to destroy terrorism. The goal set for the invasion was deliberately scaled down to lower expectation just incase the mission failed to achieve the total annihilation of Hamas. That's a clever way to conceal the lack of supreme confidence in a military venture.

Without equivocation, the invasion of Gaza by Israel is a terrible mistake. The military action is just a recycling of past foolishness. This action has resulted in extensive destruction of property and the mass murder of hundreds of innocent civilians who are trapped like animals in a cage.

The incursion into Gaza has done nothing but generate sympathy for Hamas and the Palestinians. The sympathetic reaction by people of the world is only a natural response to what is perceived to be a blatant disregard for human life by the Israeli government. Regardless of political differences between Israel and Hamas, such an act of atrocity is not accepted as a standard of human behavior in this modern era.

President-elect Obama according to news reports will soon announce his nomination of Senator Hillary Clinton as the next US Secretary of State. Obama’s choice of Clinton for this position is not viewed by Wordtodawise as a very wise choice.

Under no circumstance should Hillary Clinton be the next Secretary of State. She is frankly not the right candidate to fill this very important position at this critical moment of our time. Other candidates such as Senator Chuck Hagel and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico to name a few come to mind as being better qualified to fill this position.

Hillary Clinton simply lacks the experience and the temperament to handle the important position of Secretary of State. The common believe is that she is going to rely significantly on Bill Clinton and former Secretary Albright to help her navigate the complex world of international politics. Not only is this development disappointing, it is dangerous and will further dampen the enthusiasm of Americans and people around the world who have invested so much hope in the coming Obama administration.

It's not such a shock to learn about the plot to kill Barack Obama by two neo-Nazis. Ashley Todd faked attack and blamed it on a fictitious black man. These crazy bums have drawn their inspiration from the current caustic political atmosphere created by the Republicans.

The McCain and Palin attack ads are working. The vitriolic ads are designed to incite hate and spur ferocious acts against Barack Obama by the screw heads of the party.

The use of Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright as prime material for attack ads are sufficient reasons to label McCain and Palin as racist enablers. They can't wiggle their way out of this charge, try as they may.

McCain, Palin and the right wing talking heads, the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Riley and all the lesser clones should bear supreme responsibility if any harm should come to Obama as a result of their blatant use of racism and bigotry to advance political goals. These people are playing with fire and this is not the way it should be.

So Hillary visited Nebraska to make history. This trip can be dismissed as being a simple good will gesture to reward the dedication of the remote out post members of the Dem party. After all, these modest people are donating hard earned cash to the Obama campaign.

In reality, Nebraska is stained with red so thick that no amount of political bleach can alter the hue.

As far as a presidential ticket is concerned, Nebraska will vote for a duck if it's clad in a republican cape. That's just how hopelessly unprogressive the state is. Even the once mighty football Huskers are now kittens to be kicked around. Light will not shine here any time soon.

Truth be told, Rush and Hannity will win the race for Governor in Nebraska even as write-in candidates. These two cons are heroes in NE. Get the point?

For a conservative state, Nebraska is one of the highest taxed states in the nation. The NE economy is largely rural farm, service and retail industries fed by low wage earning exploited unsophisticated mass.

Don't know how much Hillary enjoyed the trip to Nebraska but she has to be muttering unprintable things about Obama on her way home. What a price to pay for losing a primary.

General Powell demonstrated great wisdom and statesmanship by openly endorsing Obama over McCain as president and the man best qualified to lead the United States into the future.

Powell was very clear in contrasting the two candidates before deciding on Obama. He concluded without a doubt that Obama is intellectually superior to McCain.

John McCain is a tumbling weed who is here, there and everywhere depending on which wind blows. Given McCains's erratic disposition, he can't be trusted to lead the country especially at this time of supreme challenge.

Powell was also very impressed by how Obama has structured and ran a smooth, effective and highly efficient campaign compared to the pathetically disjointed and ineffective McCain campaign.

For the mighty Clintons, losing power is not an easy thing to accept. Furthermore, losing power to an inexperienced Black man named Barack Obama from the south side of Chicago is even harder to fathom. Michael Pfleger the Catholic priest made this point in a rather dramatic fashion.

It’s fascinating to observe Hillary desperately clinging on to stage trappings as the lights fade and the curtains draw signaling the end of her performance and the death of an unbridled ambition.

Hillary clearly is in shock and in denial to realize that her dream of becoming president has all but fizzled pending the last rite primaries that will be performed in South Dakota and Montana.

There's no doubt that Oprah's support for Obama has angered a lot of "hard working white women" who have chosen to demonstrate their ignorance by boycotting the show.

These women would have preferred her to support Hillary and not Obama. The condemnation by these women is unfair and can be described as very UN American.

This loathsome attitude by the disaffected women implies that Oprah doesn't have the right to express her opinion on political issues that matters deeply to her.

Tough! Oprah has earned the right to do what she well pleases so long as it's legal.

Oprah's decision to endorse Obama earlier in the race was said to be insignificant by pundits. So far, she has proved all the skeptics wrong. Like a good book, Oprah picked a winner.

Just because these angry women contribute to Oprah's viewer ship doesn't entitle them to censor her opinion on any matters private or public.

Oprah remains the leading talk show and Obama will win the nomination and will go on to beat McCain and become president. How cursed can these two gods be?

Sean Hannity, the right wing propagandist mouth piece, a loathsome and evil fellow, worked hard to launch Jeremiah Wright as Obama's version of the swift boat attack scheme.

It's quite clear what the overall strategy of the Jeremiah Wright plot is all about. Having observed that Barack Obama is a formidable candidate on the brink of demolishing the vaunted Clinton political machine, the right wing republican operatives have kicked off vicious personal attacks against Obama in order to weaken and destroy him.

Guilt by association is the obvious tactics being employed by the right wing and neo-con operatives. The idea is to invoke racial hatred and incite the anger of the fragile independent white voters to turn against Obama the black candidate.

Choosing Jeremiah Wright as the bait for the hate Obama campaign is a grievious mistake because Jeremiah Wright is a brilliant, fearless and combative preacher with a mission to remain the conscience of America that keeps on ticking.
