This statement is so vacuous, that I could convey more information by saying "the island went north highway"! I think if you define what it means to "be ready", you'll see it hinges on racism in one form or another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-60586705705977082372008-03-06T19:54:00.000-05:002008-03-06T19:54:00.000-05:00I'm hoping hoping HOPING that more people think th...I'm hoping hoping HOPING that more people think that we are ready for a black president. My first choice (edwards) knocked out of the race early, but Obama is fantastic, and it keeps frustratiing me to hear Hillary Clinton talking about all of her experience when most of that is her husband's experience. Sigh. Anyway, here's to hoping that the world is as progressive as we think it is, now I'm off to make some shiny things, and I hope you are too, nina :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584529109796665267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-16826986722895410672008-03-06T13:56:00.000-05:002008-03-06T13:56:00.000-05:00Watching from the Uk I have to say even we're inte...Watching from the Uk I have to say even we're interested in whose going to win - both my husband and I really like Senator Obama - I just don't understand why colour has to come into anything - surely its to do with what a president he will make - they could say the same thing about there being a woman in office too :/Gemheavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382358807710947800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984799222486065714.post-46806986864985198752008-03-06T08:07:00.000-05:002008-03-06T08:07:00.000-05:00Sigh.

Let's stick to the issues people. We don't need to get caught up in who is more oppressed. We are moving FORWARD.<BR/><BR/>2. Please don't start this flame war NOW when Dems doing so essentially is just handing the Republicans ammunition for later.
