agree there...we''ll never achieve full "intergration" or "equality" as long as the media keeps making the distinction

case in point Tony Dungy...was asked what it was like to be the first AA coach to win the Super Bowl, he said he never really looked at it that way and that it felt like he won the Super Bowl

Just read on MSN our President has frozen all White House Staff personel with salaries over $100,000 from recieving bonuses. The Prez said we all have to "tighten our belts." He also has put some monetary limits on gifts from lobbiest. He might not know a platoon from a squadron but he is cutting costs and applying some basic moral ethics.

Chadrideduck....just wondering... Do you fell like every president should have some extensive military duty behind them?

Obama's administration was already in action Tuesday, ordering a 120-day halt to prosecutions of suspected terrorists at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to review the military commissions that try them.

Papers filed at the U.S. prison camp said the request is made "in the interest of justice and at the direction of the president of the United States."


The president also is expected to order a reversal of the Bush administration's so-called "Mexico City" policy, which prohibits U.S. money from funding international family planning groups that promote abortion or provide information, counseling or referrals about abortion services.

Stick around, Jake. We need more 'thinkers' on this site. I appreciate your stance on the subject....and your outlook, in gerneral.

As far as President Obama goes.....I hope he is successful in making a positive impact. I don't care if he's purple.

As far as racists go........whenever I let an inkling of a racist thought creep into my head, I always stop and say to myself, "It'd be my luck.....I'll die and think I'm going to heaven.....only to get there and find-out God is black."

Regardless of how lowly you regards others.......they are human, too.......therfore consider yourelf (no one in particular) blessed if you are half the person you think you are.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jake. Even puppies take note after an older dog issues a correction. Eventually they learn what is acceptable and what isn't. No correction - no teaching = no learning.
