Three, any challenge to or remark about narcissistic Obama or his campaign likely will be evaded, dismissed and/or painted as a racist by him, his team, his devotees and the liberal MSM.

Four, Obama increasingly reveals himself as a divisive whiner-in-chief.

Five, hyphenated America needs to assume its place in history's dustbin.

Six, those who hate America yet live within her freedoms should make immediate plans to change their residency and citizenry.

Finally, though they may sully the name of Jesus and the meaning of His life, death and resurrection, racially separatist churches such as Trinity United Church of Christ or any such churches that have their own versions of the Gospel do not have the power the destroy Christianity -- only themselves.

Obama is not qualified to be POTUS for a very simple reason: A wise man would have stated that he, like most men, simply fall asleep during Church sermons and never heard racist Wright's diatribes. A stupid man dissembles the way Barack did!

Re: G. Tracy Mehan, III's A Pyrrhic Victory for Hillary:

G. Tracy Mehan, III thinks the Democratic Party can't afford to alienate blacks? Try this, Mr. Mehan. Despite all the hype about the popular vote, and the shenanigans surrounding Michigan and Florida, the only thing that will matter in the end is the vote of the super-delegates, and their most important consideration: which constituency do we alienate, blacks or women?

No other voting bloc has been more loyal to the Democratic Party than blacks -- which makes them much more expendable than women, who are numerically superior and have a better track record of showing up on election day.

Also, blacks are now the "bridesmaid" ethnic voting bloc. Hispanics are the new "bride," and who did better with them in huge states like California and Texas? It wasn't "Mr. Change."

Super-delegate "strategy?" Go with women and Hispanics, and toss blacks under the proverbial bus. Assuage them with the notion that Obama's time is in the future while Hillary's time is right now. All for the "greater good" of beating John McCain, of course.

No one, Mr. Mehan, OK maybe someone, is enjoying the Democrats little fracas over Michigan and Florida, and the whole internecine Democrat Party war as much as I am. A self-immolating Democrat is a good Democrat as far as I'm concerned. So, is there anything we can do to pour some gasoline on the fire of this political daftness, or do we leave them to their own devices, which seem to have worked pretty well so far? Personally, I'd like to offer some words of advice to the comrades at this decisive moment in their party's history. Whenever the audacity of hope begins to seem more like throwing up their hands in total despair, and the press is around, a prerequisite, just invoke Dr. Dean's therapeutic remedy!

The Democrats have maneuvered themselves into a tight spot this time around. They have two candidates, both still trying to corral enough delegates to secure the nomination.

The main strength of one Democrat candidate would seem to be, "Vote for me -- or you'll be labeled a racist." And the main strength of the other candidate appears to be, "Vote for me -- or you'll be labeled a sexist."
