Do you really have your head that far up your ass? No law school background? Well, unless you don't count graduating from Harvard Law School with Magna Cum Laude and being the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law review. I think you may want to try reading a fucking newspaper for once in your life and stop watching TNN. People like you should be shipped to Alaska in a fucking box.

One of the greatest American's to ever live. When the history of this nation is written, Paul Robeson will stand out as one of the greatest examples of what America is able to produce. Its a shameful tragedy that he was not as revered and admired in his own country as he was around the world.

Paul knew 30 languages and spoke them all fluently.Most people cant even name 30 languages.He was also a singer,athlete,actor,civil rights leader,and a scholar.

The original statement was that Robeson would vote for Obama. Next, Robeson was not a Rhode Scholar. Let me tell you that you are communication with a historian, lecturer, and teacher. Also, there have been less men who have been democratic nominee for their party than men that have been Rhode Scholars. In my opinion Robeson is on of the greatest Americans ever to live. But, Obama is doing the improbable, impossible, and unfathomable.

No, but Paul Robeson was a Rhode Scholar, which is a much higher achievment. So don't compare the two, Obama has his share of pros but hes no Robeson, hell, i think MLK wasn't as accomplished as Robeson...

...that's the only story that could catapult an African American into the White House. How amazing is it for an "inexperienced" junior senator to run probably the best presidential campaign in American history. You don't have to have law school experience to be a senator. And, you couldn't do what Obama did in a million years...lol. Excuse me...are you a graduate of Columbia and/or Harvard?

great, so im just going to go become a senator, aside from the fact i have no law school background, and after being a senator for a brief time and have done nothing during that time, ill run for the president of the USA, thinking that its all dandy and that such an important position would be great for me..Thats obamas story....

He may be "inexperienced." But, historically that has not correlated to how well a president governs. It's judgement. And, believe me every person who has or had one drop of "black" blood in their body is relishing the thought of what might happen on November the 4th, 2008.

...and to think the American Government tried to uninvent him.

Fiberawptic (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

Please don't try to put them in the same picture. One man is a legend and one of the greatest men known to this world, the other is just an inexperience senator...
