Obama? Clinton? Fine with either?

If you are just happy to back whatever Democrat wins the primary, you are way too agreeable compared to your fellow Democrats, according to the results of a new New York Times/CBS poll.

Sixty percent of the Obama supporters would be fine with Clinton, only half the Clinton folks would be fine with Obama, and nearly 75 percent would be dissatisfied or “very dissatisfied.”

So what does it mean if Obama supporters would be fine if a Clinton should win, but that if it were the other way around the goodwill would not be reciprocated?
This long drawn out primary is causing some bad blood.

Of course, the poll doesn’t really ask enough Asian Americans for us to show up. So I ask you, would you be fine with either candidate? Or does the thought of the other candidate make your straight Asian hair stand on end?

Here’s another straw on Obama’s back. Why can’t we have Korean ministers this successful? For a victim of rich powerful whites, Mr. Wright does well for himself. Church took out a $10M loan to build this place.

Trinity United Church of Christ is building Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor a million-dollar Tinley Park home complete with an elevator, whirlpool, butler’s pantry, circular driveway and four-car garage, building plans show.

The four-bedroom home being built for the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is in the Odyssey Club neighborhood, which boasts some of Tinley Park’s largest homes and a mix of town homes. It backs up to the Odyssey Country Club and golf course.
