I attended a debate watch party organized by Mamas4Obama. On my way there, I passed the National Constitution Center, where hundreds of Clinton and Obama fans were gathered. The sounds of Philadelphia included chants of "Si se puede" and "Yes she will."Inside the Pinnacle Night Club, where the debate party was held, they chanted "We will Barack you. Barack you." The MC asked:
What better place to make history than Philadelphia. What time is it? Obama time. Let's get ready to rumble.And rumble they did.
Goaded by the debate moderators, Obama and Clinton took repeated jabs at each over Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "Bittergate," phantom sniper fire and associations with 1960s throwbacks. There were sounds of dismay when Clinton hit below the belt with "some of the relationships with Reverend Farrakhan."
The Pennsylvania primary is five days away but the real swing voters are the undecided superdelegates who will determine the party's nominee. The debate presented two different visions of the road to victory in the general election.
Clinton focused on her "lifetime trying to empower people, trying to fight for them:"
And I hope that I have demonstrated not just over the last weeks or even over the last hour and half but over a lifetime that you can count on me. You know where I stand. You know that I will fight for you and that together we're going to take back our country.Obama offered a different roadmap to victory:
And so my point to the superdelegates would be that if we're going to deliver on health care for every American, improve our schools, deliver on jobs, then it's going to be absolutely vital we form a new political coalition in this country. That's what we've been doing in this campaign, and that's what I'm going to do when I'm president of the United States of America.It's an unanswered question whether superdelegates will cruise on down the highway with Clinton or take the road less traveled with Obama.

WHY IS THE MEDIA HIDING THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY'S SECRET RELIGION (CULT ?)
It was obvious as one would watch the 'coverage' of the war that all of the cable news networks were working for the Bush Regime. The ONLY place we as Americans could attempt to gather some truth was through C-Span, Huff, DemocracyNow and a few other sites which would show all of the networks to be actually misleading America. Now, with as simple a tool as Google, Americans can find out more information that the networks won't give. Hillary's secret religion (cult?) known as 'The Family' is a D.C. based group of the richest folks in America who 'pray to Jesus for the elite to rule the world' . The fact that there has been absolutely no mention of her cult leads one to believe that the higher-ups at the networks are a part of 'The Family'.....and the plan to rule the world. I know.... it sounds far fetched.....but check for yourselves. You can find a great list of links regarding 'The Family' at www.Blacks4Barack.org. Truthtellers like Huffington, The Nation, Mother Jones and others have all done recent stories about 'The Family'....but where's CNN, MSNBC, Fox or the gang. They all know that there's an internet rumbling going on right now about this cult. But....no mention. Do the research yourselves....check into 'The Family'....once you do....you'll see that it is not only scary....BUT IT MUST BE STOPPED !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEARN/SHARE !!!!!

Clinton claims she did not know about a trade deal with columbia. Hellary is a liar. Plain and simple. Mark Penn is still on the payroll advising Hellary and her campaign. These people are crooks and you get foolish people out on the black boards trying to convince us to vote for these kind of people. NO BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID! The Clintons profit from drug smuggling, production, and sales. This is why I find this columbian connection a bit suspicious. Educate yourselves about this crooked family and take your damn blinders off. There are way too many people around here willing to sell out their country due to their closed minded ignorance.
