Obama and his campaign/supporters constantly claim that Barack Obama is a new kind of politician who will bring unity to America. The College Politico examines that assertion and is a bit skeptical.

    Sen Obama cannot unite the Democrat party, much less the country. He only appeals to a small percentage of Democrats.

    YAWN! This video was putting me to sleep. But then again, I've seen this guy a couple of times before, and I've had the same reactions before.

    Maybe he (and those who agree with him) should stick to saying why I should vote for his guy (most likely McCain) instead of the person who I voted for in my primary (Obama) instead of slamming the opposition.

      Definitely, trash talking the opposition is not the same as supporting their own candidate; makes me suspicious of their sincerity.

      The conservatives seem a lot more enthusiastic against Obama, than for McCain.

        The guy in the video is just making stuff up.

        Obama's plan unfortunately doesn't require universal healthcare--though it'd still provide more coverage than we have now. And the majority of Americans are FOR universal healthcare.

      Ani doesn't have to defend here opinions, principles or her stances. She states them and you can take it or leave it. Also, consider this why would any thinking and reasonable person engage in debate with people who call them fools and worse? Considering your usage of the English language it would seem to be a waste of time.

        I find it funny that not a single Obama supporter here has said a single word about how Obama unites people. I think that just goes to further his point that Obama ISNT a unifying force whatsoever.

          Interesting point

          I have yet to see any Obama supporter explain how he is going to unite everyone

          In fact if you read comments from many of the Obama supporters on Propeller, they are VERY divisive and many resort to name calling

          They certainly aren't showing that they want unity

            Well Bush certainly is a better example of a unifier. I mean who else could get almost 70 percent of the country to hate his policies....That takes a special kind of individual indeed.

            Paul Begala summed this up pretty well:

            But if her (DONNA BRAZILE) point is that there's a new Democratic Party that somehow doesn't need or want white working-class people and Latinos, well count me out.

            We cannot win with egg heads.

            We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush.

              Yea... Obama has some serious demographic problems. He may well overcome them but it will take a lot of work and probably Hillary's help. It should be a decent general election match up... the only republican that could win in this atmosphere versus one of two strong democratic candidates (I doubt a obama-hillary ticket or vice versa). Should be interesting to watch.

                Wow, I thought that "egg head" term was stuck back in the 50's and the Ike / Adlai Stevenson race! You're so right, intelligence and intelligent voting habits are just STUPID! You can't possibly win with smart people supporting you!

                It must be hard for Clinton and McCain, who probably feel they've "paid a lot of dues" over the years, to face Obama, who has managed to "come from nowhere" and challenge them (in a gallant way) for the Presidency. Hillary should have run in 2004, but she judged 2008 to be a more "sure thing" and "her time". She didn't count on the "torch being passed to a new generation" and it must be very frustrating to have been patient, and now have to face giving up her dream. She can learn a lesson from Edward Kennedy.

                  Interesting you should bring up Ted Kennedy as an example for Clinton... Did you know that he was losing by far more than she is and he still went all the way to the convention? But yea Im sure she feels extremely angry about whats happened in this primary (I would too if my friends, like Richards, completely abandoned me in the middle of a race). Also I would be extremely careful about writing off McCain at this point, He is amazingly viable as a republican candidate in this atmosphere.

                    Oh and Bush will go down as the Great Uniter. He did a damn good job of uniting the rest of the world, with the exception of Once Great Britian and Israel.

                    If there's too many more news clips of McCain's wife holding his arm to steady him as he descends a flight of steps, this election is going to the Crat in a landslide.

                      There is an article in the American Thinker about how Obama not only thinks he can win the Presidency without white middle class voters, but that is the way he wants to win. He and his minions refer to middle class voters as, "uneducated", as "NASCAR man", "whites," "fools," "rubes" and "hate ongers." He is convinced he can win with the Academic leftists, blacks, and college students. The same group the Democrats put together for George McGovern in 1972. What a hoot.

                      Aniokly, I've been to that web site. Its nothing more about white people bitching and moaning that they have lost their status in North America. Kiss my ass. For every one of their stories, I can write 20 of the racial descrimination that Blacks deal with on a daily basis

                        That still does not alter the fact Obama not only cannot get the white middle class vote, those gun owners, and church goers, he doesn't want them. He lives in a liberal fantasy world with Eggheads, Africans, and college students that will elect him to the most powerful office in the world. I am sorry, but he is wrong. And what happened to being President to everyone? He lied.

                          EITHER would beat McCain! But the fact that the very thought of an Obama Presidency gives you the hives is really just an added bonus!

                          I'm sure Obama can do it. If he allows his terrorist allies to become part of the government and join the police force.
