How many Presidental Candidates have played basketball with local folks?  I will tell you the truth I really like this guy and think he could be the answer to the mess we are currently in.  Our country couldn't be in any worse shape.  We change and we need it soon.  Another republican will continue the downward path we have taken the last 8 years.  Who to blame is another question, I just feel so much hope when I listen to Obama speak or when I read articles like these.

Great write up.

He's such a great person that he has been subjecting his two young daughters to Rev Wright their entire lives. This Wright guy preaches things like the US gov't created AIDS to kill black people in his church.

Hopefully Obama did better at basketball than bowling (score-37). He may be slightly better than John Kerry at pretending to be a regular guy.

I am not real sure that the North Carolina Mens Final Four Basketball team, with numerous NBA players, is really comprised of "normal" guys.  It is good to see someone reaching out to youth, but this is really a political ploy in North Carolina, not to say that I wouldn't do the same thing.  I agree with the general gist though, we definitely need change and need a democrat.  At this point, I just hope whoever wins the nomination has enough left in the tank to take out McCain.

"He may be slightly better than John Kerry at pretending to be a regular guy."

I hope you're not one of the fools who voted for Bush because you thought he was a regular guy.  Yes, he owns an ranch and from Texas.  But he also comes from New England old money and is a Yale legacy.  Anyone can buy a ranch in Texas and run an oil business and baseball team into the ground.  It don't make them a good ol' boy.

The United States did knowingly give Syphilis to black men in Tuskegee, Alabama in the 20th century so why is it to incredibly abhorrent for him to suggest the same about AIDS? just because the United States is a great country doesnt mean our government hasnt done some questionable things. the aids thing may not be true but that doesnt man wright is the antichrist for saying it

bserk- how old are you?  do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Wright and get the whole story before believe the bias with an agenda.  Not to mention that Obama's pastor should have no revelance on his abilites to be president.  His pastor is not his VP candidate.  You must understand that we have had more people in office who have overtly committed racial crimes.  Just look at your forefathers ignornace of counting colored people 3/5ths of a peron in the US Constitution.  All the attention Rev. Wright has received has empowered him as you have brought him up here.  He is ten times more famous now than he was over a miscontrued statement.  If there is one thing I know, it is that AAs do not preach hate towards other races.  The black panther party organization is the only AA organization that has preached hate of the European American.  Our history is fabricated in whites preaching hate in their churches against blacks.  There are still churches today that do not really want blacks to attend.  Rev. Wright is a very intelligent man and I mean extremely intelligent, don't allow a biased media create your viewpoints of people or the world.  You probably think every muslim is evil or a terrorist too? 

Gullible minds put people in office Bush, who has ruined this country over the last 8 years.  McCain is just like Bush and if we vote republican again, we will hit a major catastrophe like you have never seen. 

Personally, I am republican but there is no way I vote republican this year.  It is about the right candidate this year because this country is in trouble.  After two Bushes and mass wars, deaths and debt I am voting for Obama without question.  I use to like Hillary until she used to negative campaigning as her main point.  I want a person who has something to say about the direction this country should take, not about digging up dirt on people.  We need leadership, we need change and we need Obama for President.

Playing basketball may be a ploy but atleast he is playing the games.  That speaks volumes for me.  The Tarheel team is certainly not famous to me as any of you can goto campus or a nightspot and catch them out.  They are local folks in Durham, just becuase they play on tv does not make them anything special. 

Lastly, bsekr- I am sure Obama didn't just join Rev. Wrights church.  This wasn't an issue until he decides to run for office.  He is an excellent Senator and no said a word, that in and of itself should tell you ignornance brought his pastor into play this year.  As far as our government doing things to blacks- how about slavery, discrimination, bigotry, not allowing them to go to school, use certain bathrooms or vote-  Good day my friend and God Bless You!  No need for me to mention all the sex scandals or misuse of government funds.

First off, I am from Illinois and a big fan of Obama.  He could be what we need to fix our country.   Let me say though that Ftballgenius you are completely incorrect.  Obama's pastor should have relevance, because a man is and always will be judged by the company which he keeps.  He is a close and personal friend of Senator Obama and thus is very relevant.

Wow! Just another deep political discussion on the NCAA basketball board. Glad someone finally corrected the "Durham/Chapel Hill." I think Obama is the real deal. I wonder about his experience past all the Charisma and charm. I am also concerned about the new polls suggesting Hillary is the best ticket to beat McCain. Bush and Cheney have set the Republican party back a long long ways in my eyes. I can't think of one area these clowns did anything right. Our country has a lot of work to do to repair the damage.

Oh wait! I am excited to get my economic stimulating tax rebate. Thanks Bush! It likely won't help the economy since it is likely going to help families just pay their bills with the gas, energy, food price, housing, mortgage crises going on, but at least it won't buy more bombs.
