(960 Responses)   1. Patrick, Fairfield, CA      Obama does not
need to smite the comments of John Lewis – McCain is the one who
allowed this type of behavior to come to light. Sarah Palin
began it a week ago and McCain followed throughout this past
week. But Obama will probably urge all leaders, black and white,
Democrats and Republicans to put an end to all the separatist
behavior as it has much to do about nothing but hatred. Obama
will once again show that he is above disunity and petty
politics and bring everyone together. That's what a president
should do.      October 11, 2008 04:23 pm at 4:23 pm |   2. Dawn
