Barack Obama made a trip back to The Late Show with David Letterman, where he delivered surprising facts about himself from Indiana.
Straight up, his first Top Ten of campaign promises was funnier. I don't watch the show, but I'm glad to see Letterman's sort of old-school "ba-dump-dump" comedy still going strong.
Some people say candidates shouldn't do this stuff, these silly cameos. ...
I didn't even really care. That was until the candidates pimped themselves to WWE wrestle-maniacs. After that. No more. Please. I want to vomit.
One not-so surprising fact about Obama from his Top Ten Thursday night -- He has not slept since October! Or is it Baracktober?
Get some sleep B!

I totally agree with you on that one thismustbedaid.
We need a breath of fresh air, Obama. The Campaign Trail can be stressful and by Obama going on different shows like this, people nationwide can see his funny and serious side! When Obama is on, he is laid back but at the same time on point! On the other hand, when Hillary and McCain are on talk shows, "IT'S NOT FUNNY NO MORE AND I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO WATCH EITHER ONE OF THEM". I don't want to see FAKE and DISHONEST PEOPLE"!

I thought the skit was funny. With all the mud slinging going on in this election (mostly from the Clinton side) this guy ( Obama) manages to stay upbeat. He is genuinely a good person and in these days and times being honest and good is seen as a weakness. Even after eight years of "Macho Man and Testosterone Boy" and their reign of terror. America is now known as the "Great Oppressor." I bet many of you didn't know that the Bush administration is known as the "Great Oppressors of the citizens of the United States" too.
These are terrible times we are living in today. Who we put in office will play a huge role in changing the mood of this country. We have been under a dark cloud of melancholy for so long we could use a little something upbeat from a presidential candidate. This little skit is a refreshing and comical side of Obama that we rarely get a chance to see. Especially, since the man is constantly under attack for every little thing.
Damn! He's going to catch the heat for this because Rev.Wright watched the Letterman show that night and laughed at the skit a little. We have got to hold Barack Obama responsible. Rev. Wright shouldn't be laughing. Let's blame Barack Obama for this unpatriotic madman Rev. Wright again. This time we'll blame Barack for Rev. Wright's laughing while watching Obama on the David Letterman show.

Obama lies and covers up facts just like every other politician. He cannot be trusted!
http://www.naturalnews.com/z023131.html
Rev. Jeremiah Wright is Right about how U.S. Government Uses Blacks for Medical Experiments, Including AIDS
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) Regarding the current controversy about Rev. Wright and U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, Rev. Wright is actually quite correct about the U.S. government's exploitation of black Americans for medical experiments (and worse). What Rev. Wright is saying about the way the U.S. government has treated blacks in the last 200 years is remarkably accurate to anyone who has bothered to actually study American history. For starters, I recommend you read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, which will give you quite a horrifying account of how the FBI sought to assassinate black leaders, how law enforcement authorities looked the other way when crimes were committed against blacks, and many other difficult-to-believe (but true) facts about the history of America.
But that's just the beginning. The real horrors become even more clear when you look at the history of blacks being used for medical experiments in the United States. The Tuskegee experiments only scratch the surface. In reality, the history of conventional medicine in the U.S. is filled with true accounts of black women, black prisoners and black babies being openly used in extreme medical experiments where they were injected with deadly substances, denied medical treatment to see what might happen as the disease progressed, and even used in government-sanctioned experiments like the EPA's recent experiments on toxic chemicals in low-income children, which happened just a few years ago in New York.
Skeptical that any of this really happened? Maybe you just haven't learned any of this yet. To help you out, I've published a list of just a few of the medical experiments conducted on blacks, minorities and prisoners in the United States. You can read the list yourself here: http://www.naturalnews.com/019189.html
Part two is here: http://www.naturalnews.com/019187.html
One account included in that list reads as follows:
1963: Chester M. Southam, who injected Ohio State Prison inmates with live cancer cells in 1952, performs the same procedure on 22 senile, African-American female patients at the Brooklyn Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in order to watch their immunological response. Southam tells the patients that they are receiving "some cells," but leaves out the fact that they are cancer cells. He claims he doesn't obtain informed consent from the patients because he does not want to frighten them by telling them what he is doing, but he nevertheless temporarily loses his medical license because of it. Later, Dr. Southam becomes president of the American Cancer Society.
As you can see, not only are these human medical experimentation doctors NOT convicted of their crimes against blacks and minorities, they are promoted to top positions in the medical establishment!
It gets worse: The genocide continues even today
And yet, despite all the horrifying history of medical experimentation on blacks and minorities in the United States -- much of it sponsored by the U.S. government -- the situation is even worse today because conventional medicine is engaged in a deliberate effort to deny black people access to the truth about sunlight, vitamin D, cancer and skin color. As NaturalNews readers well know, the reason breast cancer and prostate cancer rates are so much higher in black women and men is because dark skin pigmentation blocks the healing UV rays that create vitamin D in the skin, thereby leaving black men and women chronically deficient in vitamin D. That deficiency, in turn, greatly boosts their rates of cancer -- by nearly 500%! (The cancer industry loves this, by the way. It means lots of repeat business for cancer drugs and mammograms in the future.)
But instead of educating black men and women about this simple connection, the modern cancer industry (and medical establishment) refuses to tell black people the truth, thereby enslaving them in a system of high-profit medical treatments, all while pretending they have no idea why breast cancer is so much more aggressive in black women. Read my article, Vitamin D Recommendation Missing From Breast Cancer Task Force Report on Black Women at http://www.naturalnews.com/022151.html
Today, I've posted a scathing audio podcast on this topic, accusing the modern medical establishment of being engaged in crimes against blacks through its unwillingness to tell people the truth about why dark-skinned individuals need far more sunlight than white-skinned individuals. This audio podcast dares to tell the truth about the racist policies of modern medicine, and why Big Pharma wants to turn the bodies of black men and women into profit centers. You can listen to it right now at: http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html
Of course, this profit exploitation motive isn't limited to blacks. Whites, Asians and everybody else are also targeted for medical profits, but blacks are disproportionately impacted by the lack of truthful information about cancer and vitamin D due to their unique skin pigmentation. In other words, the intentional censorship of factual information about sunlight, vitamin D and cancer results in far more harm to black people than anyone else!
Obama sticks his head in the sand
Barack Obama, for his part, is now pretending the U.S. government never conducted medical experiments on blacks, or that it's "un-American" to even talk of such things. These are the typical lies you'll hear from any politician running for office, especially when that office is in a country where 99% of the people have been kept in the dark about these matters. In reality, I say it's un-American to treat black people in the way they've been treated throughout American history. I say that all of us -- white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Hispanic, etc. -- have the right to be treated with dignity, with respect, and with our basic human rights intact. No person, no matter what their skin color, should be used for medical experiments, and when those experiments have taken place, it is the duty of honest citizens and the few remaining honest journalists to publicize those events in order to help ensure they never happen again.
Obama was quoted in the press yesterday as saying about Dr. Wright, "But when he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS. ... There are no excuses. They offended me. They rightly offend all Americans and they should be denounced."
In other words, Obama is saying that anyone speaking out about the U.S. government's exploitation of blacks and its involvement in the AIDS virus should be denounced. Note carefully that he did not say the U.S. government's medical experiments on blacks should be denounced! Rather, the people warning others about such activities should be denounced!
Or, put another way, Obama wants people to just shut up and pretend the U.S. government never committed these evils against blacks. He doesn't want the truth to come out. He's running for President, after all, and it's better to just whitewash important issues than to have to deal with them honestly and openly.
It is never the wrong time to tell the truth
Some say that merely bringing up these topics is divisive and destructive to the country. To that naive criticism, I say this: As a human being, it is my responsibility to do everything in my power to stand up for those less fortunate. From the black babies injected with contagious diseases who couldn't fend for themselves, to the foster care children who were "recruited" for the EPA's experiments on chemical toxicity, these babies and children need people like you and me to come to their defense.
They are defenseless: The poor, the young, the children without parents... these unfortunate ones are being swept up into Big Pharma's deadly medical experiments and the U.S. government's dangerous experiments for military and industrial purposes. Who will defend them if not us? And how will we ever make sure we don't repeat these true horrors of American history if we're not even willing to admit they happened in the first place?
Rev. Wright is telling people the truth about how the government has treated blacks, and it makes Obama nervous. Obama is living in a state of denial, which is actually great practice for becoming U.S. President. Those skills will come in quite handy during future press conferences. What better way to become the first black President of the United States than to deny the history of how the U.S. treated blacks in the first place?
For the record, I don't know for sure whether the government introduced AIDS into the population, but I've read a lot of books on epidemics and the AIDS virus in particular (including books by Len Horowitz, who I highly recommend as an author), and I can state with certainty that I highly suspect AIDS was, in fact, engineered by the U.S. government and intentionally introduced into the population as either a weapon of genocide or a population control measure. It all sounds quite sinister, but once you learn about what the CDC, FDA, EPA and USDA have already done to harm and kill so many people in the last few decades, it's not a stretch of any kind to consider the possibility that the government may have also been involved in the creation and release of the AIDS virus.
My main point, however, is that regardless of what you think about AIDS and the government, at the very least we should all be able to openly discuss these ideas and debate them without being instantly denounced for merely bringing up the subject.
Remember, those who are the quickest to denounce so-called "conspiracy theories" are those who are least capable of standing up to honest debate. It's the same for many issues: Vaccinations, fluoridation, 9/11 terror attacks, the AIDS virus, the war on Iraq and many more. Candidates like Obama don't want the American people to actually think for themselves or question the status quo, because the minute people start questioning the status quo, the whole fragile U.S. economy and Big Brother power centers would start to crumble. The continuity of the U.S. empire depends, in large part, on the continued ignorance of the American public about what's really true.
Recommended reading: Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola : Nature, Accident or Intentional? by Leonard Horowitz
By the way, if you're a member of a black church and you're interested in learning more on this topic, I'd be thrilled to visit your church and present some of this information about cancer, sunlight, skin pigmentation and the conspiracy to deny black men and women access to the information they need to prevent cancer and save their own lives. Just contact me through the NaturalNews offices, and if I'm in your part of the country in the future, I'd be happy to stop by and talk to your church congregation about what's really going on with the cancer industry and its blatant exploitation of black men and women in this country. It's not a happy topic, I realize, but it's one that needs to be told. And I'm not afraid to tell it like it is.
Because here's the truth in all this: I have information right now that could prevent 90% of all cancer in black men and women. And I'd be thrilled to share that information with people. I personally find the black community to be very open to this information, probably because they are rightly skeptical about the way the medical establishment has treated them for so many decades. They know they're being lied to, used and exploited by wealthy corporations and corrupt government officials. They know it! They just don't know where to turn for real answers to this cancer problem.
Mother Nature has the answers, folks, and it's time we told the truth about cancer so that we can end the pain and disease in the black community that has caused so much suffering (and generated so much money for Big Pharma and the cancer industry). It's time to stop the genocide and start the healing. If we're going to move forward, together, as a nation of people who truly have equal rights and equal opportunities, then we've got to stop the cancers, stop the censorship and start the healing. It's the only way to move forward.

From Dr. Boyce Watkins - YourBlackWorld.com
Banning Bill O’Reilly – The Patriotic Thing to Do
As some of you know, I’ve interacted with Bill O’Reilly several times on his TV and radio shows. I have also had the “pleasure” of interacting with Sean Hannity, host of Hannity and Colmes, another show on Fox. Rush Limbaugh, the ex-drug addict, is another member of the Right Wing Axis of Ignorance, consisting of individuals who use their platforms to socially terrorize people of color.
We are all affected by this and confront this hatred every day at work and at school. All of us know what it’s like to deal with that racist, sexist SOB who worships Bill O’Reilly because O’Reilly validates his racism. This person may be our boss, our co-worker or some other entitled, yet ignorant individual who has not been educated on the racial history of our nation.
Today I woke up angry. I was angry because I thought about what Hannity, O’Reilly and others have done to this election. They’ve worked to bring the worst out in the American people to attack Senator Barack Obama, who has run one of the classiest, most intelligent and conscientious campaigns in American history. The moment that America was on its way toward making a breakthrough in its addiction to racism, the hate mongers from the Axis of Ignorance came marching in to remind America that Obama was just a black little boy.
Bill O’Reilly needs to be taken off the air. Either he is ignorant, racist or represents the interests of racists. Either way, I continue to be insulted by the fact that this man feels comfortable attacking and disrespecting people of color. The type of racism that he and his sidekick Bernard Goldberg bring to the table is nothing short of the same old stuff that we’ve been dealing with for the past 400 years. We also can’t forget Juan Williams, the “Eternal Happy Negro” who conspires to provide black (not African-American, for he is Panamanian) validation for these racist viewpoints.
Among other things, O’Reilly has mentioned the idea of “lynching” Michelle Obama over controversial comments and stated that Hurricane Katrina victims deserved to be abandoned to die by the Federal Government. I can only imagine what would happen if someone said that the 9/11 victims deserved to die…….a black host making that kind of comment would be taken off the air IMMEDIATELY. I personally continue to fight these issues when I am on TV, but there is a point of disbelief one reaches when you see someone get away with one hateful sentence after another from networks that truly don’t give a damn what black people think. We are invisible, irrelevant and disregarded by many of these shows.
Personally, I am tired of it. I am tired of the unfair attacks on Senator Barack Obama, which represent the consistent, racist double standard of Fox News reporting. These individuals are consistently validated, even though they are far less educated, far more inflammatory and much less conscientious than Jeremiah Wright, the man they were licensed to demonize this past month. My skin shudders and my stomach turns when I hear any of them speak, and I do all I can to avoid turning to that channel. I have done a lot of interviews with Fox News in the past, and I don’t fault those who still do. But personally, I just can’t stomach them anymore.
I ask those who believe in American honor and decency to ignore this network. Disregard the analysis, don’t respond to O’Reilly, Hannity or any other racist who says something you don’t agree with. Kill the Devil by starving it of attention. Don’t even watch Fox so you can “see what the enemy is thinking”. Just let them go and focus on a positive and productive future of the country that was built by your people.
If you are so compelled, you may want to email Fox News (email addresses are below) reminding them that this behavior will not be tolerated. If you want to get something off your chest, please email us at info@yourblackworld.com and share your views on this issue. We also have another page at this link (http://yourblackworld.com/bill_oreilly.htm) that allows readers to vent on this issue. I know you’re hurting, and I believe that if we stick together, we can fight the demon. Additionally, ideas for change and fairness in American media are welcome from anyone who wants to send them to us.
Here are some email addresses and phone numbers for producers on Fox News. Even Bill O’Reilly’s address is included. If the spirit moves you, you may choose to email or call one of the producers for the O’Reilly Factor and tell them how you feel. The O’Reilly Factor should change its name to “God Damn America”, for O’Reilly is damning our great nation by enabling its addiction to racism.
Sincerely,
Dr. Boyce Watkins

Would someone please identify just one thing that Obama will do for black folks when he is president? We have a black supreme court justice, Clarence Thomas, and he has done more to hurt black people than not. I can't see that Obama will be doing anything for us, particulary when he is so beholden to his white backers.

The antics of the press forced Rev.Wright to come forth and defend his point of view. Now that he has spoken out...will someone please present evidence that he has lied about anything that he said!.. He spoke truth to power as we all must learn to do! His words will prevail in the long run...the truth is stronger than the lies and deceptions we hear!
