Sharpton on Powell...

Well, not recently. Last year. The question: "Rev. Al Sharpton, Do you believe that political leaders such as Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell are viewed as "house negroes" by other African Americans, by going along with the President against their beliefs?"

NON-STOP RACE RHETORIC SMOKESCREEN FOR LACK OF EXPERIENCE

I AM EXHAUSTED by the rhetoric on Obama's race, every time a question is asked of Obama that his campaign wants to avoid they regurgitate the race issue. This election is not about the color of anyone's skin but is about the candidates voting record, issues, experience, qualifications, associations, moral and social values . The qualifications for being President should be more than sitting on boards and organizing activist. From the time he was sworn in as a U.S. Senator his experience as a working Senator was actually 143 working days that the senate was in session. After such a short time on the job Obama started his Presidential exploratory committee. If you owned the company would you hire him as the President with so little experience? In my opinion the media and the American People have the right to transparent and forthright answers to any question asked from a candidate who blatherskites empty phrases with eloquence and expresses a socialist agenda .It does take a lot of audacity to think you are qualified to be Commander in Chief of the free world and follow in the steps of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan with so few accomplishments as a Senator. Before you vote know the facts and vote for the future of a free America
