Why would David Duke endorse Obama?
This is quite strange, when upon my researching I could not think of any reasons on why two people of different races would endorse the same thing. Why would they endorse Barack Obama? I could be wrong, but the only reason that I could think of is the shared dislike of Jews and also the shared endorsement of an Ideology not allowed in Politics which is Nationalism. This sounds logical but, like I said I don't know for sure. What do you think of this shared endorsement?

I think Duke is in tune to the political record and contrast of achievments between Clinton and Obama.
Let's compare the record:
From the Library of Congress:
Hillary Clinton in her one full term(6 yrs.) and another year campaigning, has authored and passed only 20 pieces of legislation in her term of six years into law. They range from naming a courthouse after Thurgood Marshall to naming a Post Office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
Obama in his first 8 Months sponsored over 820 Bills. Introduced 233 Bills on Healthcare Reform, 125 Bills on Poverty and Public Assistance, 112 Bills on Crime Fighting, 97 Economic Bills, 60 Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bills, 21 Ethics Reform Bills, 6 Veterans Affairs Bills and many others. In his First Year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 Bills and co-spomsored another 427. These Include: 1) the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became Law, 2) the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-prliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became Law, 3) the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate, 4) the 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became Law, just to name a few. In all, since he entered the Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 Bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
Why is this not being discussed heavily on the blogs? Obama supporters should be copying and pasting this all over the net and inundating all the Hillary Blogs with this. When people take a hard look... she is not a hard worker. She represents more grid lock and laziness.
This man WILL get things done. His record PROVES IT.
Pass this on to as many folks as you can this weekend. Everyone on your address books, all blogs. Get the truth out and help make things right!

From the article...
"In an interview with the New Republic, Duke said that “I don’t think Obama will be any more negative for the United States than Hillary or John McCain. In fact, we probably have less preference for a European like a John McCain or a Hillary who has betrayed our interests.”
"So, what Duke is basically saying is that Obama is the lesser of three evils and the preferable choice for President."
"Obama certainly has a knack for bringing people together, marking the first time in history that Farrakhan and Duke agree on anything."
*****
Bringing such diametrically-opposed individuals together? Maybe he can also bring peace to the Middle East...e.g. Shiites/Sunnis; Arabs/Jews.

Obama endorsement means Republican in the white house. The overwhelming support for Senator Obama may hold of the Clinton machine due to Republican assistance, but will he hold of Republican Machine which has dominated the white house for the last 40 years. Since 1969 we have had only two Democratic Presidents Carter and Clinton and if it were'nt for Ross Perot in 92' Bill Clinton would have never won.

The GOP is counting on him getting the nomination. Then they can destroy him in the race for the White House. All of these republicans that are coming out in support of him have ulterior motives. Do you honestly believe,they will give up their domination of the White House? I think Obama has too much baggage that can be exploited by these dirty politicians. When Obama finally gets the nomination the gloves are going to come off. I hope that he can handle the fire storm that's on the horizon.

Barrack Hussein Obama endorsements should tell the American people all they need to know about what kind of man he is.Have we not known for centuries we are judged and known for the company we keep.Where in the world is the CIA,? Is this what we have become?.If it is and America lets this crap continue, we are in for a rude awakening.

People change!? I don't know. How did George Wallace become governor of Alabama on the backs of a large coalition of black voters, when he was violently against civil rights for so many years?

Because he's stupid. Just like the Kennedys feel Obama is just like JFK...yeah right. No offense, I don't hate Obama but I don't see any similarities in their views. But JFK was not liked by a small group and the same probably goes for Obama (speaking about those that may be racist)

particular, I do think of whites are held to a a ways better nicely-known. Whites at the instant are not allowed to criticize blacks even whilst the black individual merits it. I artwork with an African American woman (I artwork, she would not) who would not do her interest. in fact, on the uncommon occassion she does some thing, the rest persons ought to re-do it. yet whilst she's criticized, she screams racism. we are ill of picking up her slack, however the bosses are scared to fireside her. isn't SHE being the racist by skill of claiming racism on each occasion she's ask to accomplish a little artwork?

I have no idea. Duke is a former Klansman. Maybe he just hates Clinton and McCain more.
And who cares what David Duke thinks about anything???

Duke may be a former NAZI, but he is still a loyal republican, he wants his team to win, If 0bama is nominated all his friends will vote for McCain, as will the majority.
