"I wonder why God gave us this dilemma"
Hey, don't ask me why. It was Bill Clinton who asked, and he seems to be wondering why God is screwing up Hillary's chances of getting the nomination: Bill Clinton, touring black churches in Washington and Maryland, which hold primaries Tuesday, said he understands voters face a tough choice between his wife and Barack Obama.(Emphasis added.) Sigh. "They told me that if George W. Bush were reelected, religious hucksters would be dragging God into politics, and opportunistically using his name for political advantage. And they were right!" posted by Eric on 02.12.08 at 10:29 AM

"I wonder why God gave us this dilemma" The dilemma is attributable, not to God, but to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. This conflict between white women and blacks should have come into the open decades ago, when white women glommed onto the civil rights movement by claiming that white women were every bit as oppressed in America as black people. It was a cynical canard then, and remains a damnable lie today. Brett · February 12, 2008 06:32 PM Post a comment

I'm such a broken record on this subject... Sure, sure, I too have always wanted to vote for (take your pick) a woman, an African-American, the offspring of a migrant worker, a gay person, a person of a non-mainstream faith tradition... for President. But shouldn't the first criterion be some indication that the person can do the job? It's not exactly flipping burgers, or even word processing.
