Mr.Steele is fast becoming an anachronism.His agonizing over racism is not shared by new generations of Americans who have moved beyond black and white, masks, guilt,
and anything else he identifies as being part of the separation
of people because of color.
Younger Americans are
connecting on a human level that has no relevance to skin pigmentation.Their children of mixed race are just children
and are not living with all the old labels Mr.Steele identifies for Oprah,Cosby,Jordan etc.These labels don't apply to Obama either and Americans don't see his race but se his face-his real face,the only face he has.He doesn't need anything else,doesn't want anything else and wouldn't know what to do with it if he had it.
Mr.Steele hasn't caught up with any of this yet, and discusses Obama like
he discusses Cosby.
Americans are rapidly reaching a place where "uncle tom" means nothing anymore
and kowtowing to whites by blacks doesn't happen because it belongs to a forgotten past.This is rapidly happening in an America being changed by so many racial ethnicities,color is just swept aside.

I guess Mr. Steele - according to his categorization - would himself be a "bargainer". No? I wonder, this close to the election, which of his words he is willing to eat?

shelby seems to have lost his job in the AIPAC circus.
any one from stanford does not even know where San Francisco is,let alone the fact that elitist European North Americans forget that they have stolen the land an bring nothing but another epoch
on the fall.

White guilt my ass.

The only thing Obama is is hopefully not as corrupt as either Hillary or McCain.

Hillary, to me, is tainted not with her husband's blowjobs, but with her husband's pushing through of NAFTA and with his involvement with Bush Sr. and Iran-Contra-CIA-Ollie North-Cocaine in Mena, Arkansas and Saline County, as covered by Sam Smith of the Progressive Review and many others. Hillary is tainted with being in bed with Christian Dominionists like Rick Santorum and his friends, as described by Mother Jones magazine.

McCain on the other hand is tainted by being in league with Bush Jr., having some of the same Neo-cons and Heritage Foundation flacks in his group of advisors as Bush, who backed Bush's wars and want more, and who backed Al-Qaeda in the past as "heroes" when they were "Freedom Fighters".

Each of these candidates are front men for their banks of advisors, the ideology of their advisors, and have top-heavy pro-Zionist leanings, which -- at a certain point -- become anti-American. Bush obviously passed that point from the start, if only to be able to use Israel to dredge up religious backing for his wars.

Obama seems less tainted by this background, though he has a lot of BIll Clinton advisors on board too. In that sense, the election is a Lose-Lose-Lose proposition. The question is who is likely to damage the American public the least.

One of Obama's backers, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was the first man who covertly sponsored Al-Qaeda (whoops, "the mujahideen") as a strategy. Ordinarily, that sounds bad, and it is, but it was Reagan-Bush who changed that from a strategy to a holy war for "democracy", and BIll Clinton used the same Al-Qaeda forces in Bosnia, while George W. is using covert support for Al-Qaeda linked Jihadists in Lebanon against Hezballah and elsewhere. In that thin narrow window into US political realities, it seems that Brzezinski has either seen the error of his ways, or his gang is satisfied with having bases in Iraq and is ready to back off on the more ambitious goals of unilateral US hegemony, in favor of a slightly scaled back US hegemony, shared with other major powers. I might even be able to live with that literal "lesser evil" for the time being.

No, raising "white guilt" is only a ruse by this Hoover Institution flack to reduce complex political issues back down to race, to muddy the waters with more "racial tension".
As for the critique that Obama is a mystery, yeah he is, I have two words "compassionate conservatism". What the fu2k is that? Now we know. Compassion for billionaires who pay too much taxes. Bush even changed his slogan in midstream -- from "compassionate conservative" to "reformer with results" --- and the media didn't even care.
