		<description><![CDATA[Obama won the primaries against Hillary Clinton because the sexist male dominated malignant narcissus media and black people dogged Hillary.  Jon Corzine lost in New Jersey because those same people did not fall for the rhetoric Obama promised in his campaign.  Also black people did not come out and vote in Hudson County and Middlesex.   Remember, New York and New Jersey voted for Hillary during the Primaries.

If Hillary Clinton was president today Corzine would have won New Jersey, handily.  Also, Hillary Clinton would not have endorsed Bloomberg the way Obama did last summer.  She would have handily endorsed Bill Thompson and he would have won.  Thompson only lost by 2000 votes.

The bottom line is the Democrats have the wrong leader in the White House.  It should be Hillary Clinton, but black people are too drunk on love with Obama.  Black people better not do this to Andrew Cuomo when he runs against David Paterson in the New York primaries.  Black people will be the death of the Democratic Party if they do.  Andrew Cuomo is the only one who can beat Giulliani.  David Paterson does not have a chance in hell of winning the NY State house, just like that Healthcare bill that just passed in the house does not have a chance in hell at passing in the Senate.

Obama is not a Clinton.  He is not a fighter.  He does not know how to battle the Republicans in the trenches the way Hillary Clinton does.  Hillary Clinton was senator of a majority Republican district in New York.  Hillary Clinton knows how to pull Republicans and Independents with sheer ideology and charisma.  Obama still thinks he has to charm people.  Sure Obama got Arlene Spector to deflect that is because Arlene Spector, like Chris Matthews of MSNBC are closet homosexuals who have homoerotic fantasies of Obama.  It is so obvious.  The Republicans love Obama because they know that they will take back the House and the Senate in 2010 when  Americans start to realize that the change Obama promised has not been realized at all.  We don&#039;t have Healthcare reform and we won&#039;t have it.  Unemployment is 10 percent.  What Change?

Black people need to vote more IDEOLOGICALLY and not with race.  New Jersey State troopers are ready to begin racial profiling.  Employers and companies in America are applying more discrimination especially towards black people in their hiring processes.  What Change?   We are back at square one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama won because his political party had the majority electorial votes needed, thats why they have primaries, to see who are they going to sponsor to be the face of their &quot;wing&quot; of objectives.  Thompson probably made a couple of extra dollars on the side for even putting his name on the ticket to run against &quot;Bloomy&quot; as A said.  Really its a bunch of wasted headline space, he never stood/sat/squatted/slept a chance]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a BlackPlanet employee I have to add another complaint to the list. He did NOT engage the BlackPlanet audience. I find it inexcusable for numerous reasons:

1) Location, location, location.
He is running for mayor in NYC where BP&#039;s offices are based. He should have made an attempt to involve himself with the largest predominantly &quot;black&quot; social network on the internet. It isn&#039;t too far from City Hall either.

2)Marketing.
Obama was not &quot;too good&quot; to plaster himself all over BP during his campaign and Bill Thompson has nowhere near the visibility Obama had during his presidential campaign so how could he afford to do less? I shook his hand at the Caribbean Day Parade on Labor Day looked him in dead in his eye and said, &quot;You should include BlackPlanet in your campaign strategy.&quot;

3) Volume.
Quiet confidence rarely works in politics in a town like NYC. If you are the underdog you have to make a lot of noise. You can be the composed statesman all you want AFTER you get the job. He didn&#039;t say much to make anyone talk about him be it good or bad. You have to capture people&#039;s passions and interest for them to invest their time to vote for you. Getting a couple of heavily opinionated BP members to speak favorably of you would have been a much needed boost to his quiet demeanor.]]></description>
