Obama- wants talks with Iran
this tells us what?
In Obamas book Audacity of Hope he wrote "I will stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

To those who are whining about the press beating up on "Mudslinger" Hillary over her recent racist remarks about hard working whites not wanting to vote for Obama all I can say is you suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and should see a doctor about that revisionist history you're spouting. Have you already conveniently forgotten how Obama got hammered in the press and by the Kitchen Sink Girl about his "bitter" comment?

It's all about Karma and what goes around comes back around. If the Kitchen Sink Girl hadn't been slinging so much mud at Obama instead of Flip Flop McCain she wouldn't be getting it fired back at her by us Obama supporters.

Go Obama 08/12!
