As a white woman I must tell you I was OFFENDED by Hillary's white woman comment on HIV/AIDS!  Yes, it was a "zinger" of a one liner clearly calculated to pander to the audience before her.  What's sad is she sold out women to do it!!  Does health care cover birth control? No.  How about the fact that women have to organize and push for breast cancer research on their own?  Why?  Because the priorities of our healthcare industry aren't focused on finding a cure for terrible diseases like cancer or HIV/AIDS, instead they lie with finding a way to keep people paying for very expensive prescription drugs until their dying day.  Or how about the fact that many people with HIV/AIDS have to choose between eating and paying for their meds?  Nope, she didn't talk about any of those things.  Instead, she went for a "cheap" applause line that pitted black and white against one another and at the expense of women no less.  Of course, the African American community is even more negatively affected than women in our society; the fact that both communities are such an afterthought is truly disgraceful!!!  If Hillary truly meant what she was saying on that stage, she could have made a joke at the expense of the system that is letting this happen, but did she do that?  No.  How about a more realistic "one liner" which points out the fact that this system has found an affordable cure for erectile dysfunction before even making HIV/AIDS drugs less expensive?  Nope, she didn't do that ... Why do you ask?  Who do you think is getting her to that $27 million dollar fundraising total for the second quarter?   Selling out one group of Americans for another for an applause line, money and votes is shameful!  You'd think we are talking about Republicans or something.  Nope, just a candidate who's not as electable as her fellow opponents on stage and is trying to buy her way into the White House!

Gary I do not want Bush around for 20 more years, not even 20 minutes! Cripes he could do more damage just being awake.

Im an african american man. Hillary did just fine thank you. My wife and I will be voting for her. We also like her husband and having them both will be a blessing.

H P Boston--He will finish his term. Hand off his mess to his successor and us. He will be politely escorted to  marine one which will lift him over angry protesters to Andrews AFB for his last ride back to the ranch on Air force One. We will be forced to listen to gushing news anchors speculate on his thoughts (won't take long) and they will probably have the gall to play Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" as AF1 lifts into the sky. He will live a long easy life enriched by his corporate constituency. He will probably die decades from now, peacefully in his sleep, an unchanged, incurious man with no insights or knowledge of either the History that preceded him nor the History that he participated in. Life is random. Justice is rare. So it Goes.

Deana, California--Good analysis. She would have done better to attack the system instead of enhancing the divisions.
