The democrats will be running the black Senator from Illinois, Obama, sometime in the upcoming years. He is their rising star, not Broom Hilda Clinton.

Clinton Honored As 'First Black President' at Black Caucus Dinner

(CNSNews.com) - Former President Bill Clinton was honored as the nation's first black president Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Annual Awards Dinner on in Washington, DC.
The chair of the all-Democratic caucus, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Tex.), told the crowd that Clinton "took so many initiatives he made us think for a while we had elected the first black president."
Clinton told CNSNews.com he was honored to be considered America's "first black president."
"I think it's a function of the work I have done, not just as president, but my whole public life to try to bridge the racial divide and the fact that even when I was a little boy I had friends who were African-American," he explained.
Clinton said that while he misses being president he has "a wonderful life now and I had the time that was allocated to me under the Constitution." He explained, "I have no regrets and I'm trying to go on and play a constructive role as a citizen now and I am quite happy with it."
He added, "I am happy in Harlem and I am honored to be thought of as the first black president."
Actress Vivica A. Fox gushed that President Clinton "spoke so wonderfully and made us African-Americans feel more a part of American society. I miss him so much."
Rep. John Lewis said Clinton "has the rare capacity of connecting with African- Americans. He understands the hopes and dreams and the frustration of African- Americans. We identify with him and he can identify with us."
Funny stuff.
i think that john mccain would beat hillary and i hope that she doesn't make it through the primaries.
Perhaps, but I'm not sure I'd like McCain much better than Mrs. Senator Clinton. He's hardly my definition of conservative!
but i dont think mccain is evil...im not so sure about hillary
I wouldn't classify his as evil, just confused. I would certainly not want him to be the candidate. I hope that someone steps up soon. I think we are going to be in trouble in the next election because there are few good choices.
You give the average voter in Louisiana way too much credit. I actually had one redneck argue with me that the reason he wasn’t voting for Jindal was because he didn’t want a “damn Arab” as the Governor!
i agree, markay. the only way mccain would get my vote is if hillary was the only viable candidate running against him.
DITTO!
You guys are all nuts. John McCain is the only one in DC with his full mental capacity.
You can have him. And if that qualifies me to be nuts by your definition I will certainly qualify. He's not a conservative! I'm a conservative, and I want a conservative candidate in '08 for the Presidency!
we need rudy to knock hillary out of the senate in new york. it would be a nice setback in her path to the white house.
ive read that mccain and cheney will both be pretty old in 4 years and that they wont run because of it. i have a feeling the republicand want jeb to run, thats why they sent him to asia with powell. get him some good publicity.
i would vote for jeb, but im scared america would not as a whole, just because they are tired of having a bush for president. who knows.
Did somone on the radio tell you he wasn't conservative? Or is it because he would like to get big business control out of Washington? Or is it because he marches to the beat of his own drum? Or is it the fact that he is pushing a bill to import pharmaceuticals to bring prices in check? Or the fact that he is pro-fiscal responsibility?
He seems to be working for everyone except the ones who profit the most from government influence. IF that makes him non-conservative, then so be it. He carries more integrity than the whole house and senate combined.
Actually, I can make a list for you if you like:
1) Flirting with John Kerry over being his running mate. That's enough right there. If he was really a conservative, Kerry wouldn't have been interested and he'd have never even tolerated the thought!
2) McCain Feingold - As a conservative I am not into my free speech rights being hindered. That was an awful piece of legislation.
While I admire his service to our country, I don't want him as President at all.
