Either the site you listed is wrong or it hasn't been updated in ages. Which begs the question, why can't the Bush administaration keep people of color working for them?
That was 2001, this is 2004. The link was a "timeline". Did you click on it? Hmmmm, maybe they all got promoted.

You've googled that out, I thought it was time for a "different" google. So google that.

It' so funny to me how some people who consider themselves so liberal appear so narrow-minded. Then again real liberals won't be voting for Kerry.

Unfortunately those "real liberals" will be cutting their noses off to spite their faces then, and will be ensuring that Bush will have another 4 years in the White House, further eroding our civil rights, our economy, our environment, our educational system, and our international relations.

my apologies on the spelling error......i never check myself on these boards.
Sorry. Didn't know you were still a baby. It's a good thing to be interested. Keep on asking the good questions and I'll try to keep my evil twin off the keyboard.

Everybody sing now! "Do the (CarneVaca) hustle." Doo do do dododdo doo do do doo-left foot right right foot right and slide and slide and sheikyerbooty and start again.

See, you don't support any one candidate, you just sit in your ivory tower and snipe. Since you're reticent, you think you're above reproach.

This came to me during a meditative moment in my yoga class today.

Namaste.

Johnny Stew, you are a man among men and should consider a career in the diplomatic corps.

How ironic is it that in a thread where we are discussing racial equality, you use a racial slur by referring to the white race as crackers. You call yourself a liberal with progressive ideas and thoughts? I think not!

They're too busy stealing the white man's pound cake to be bothered with.

Then why join in on the conversation? Your comments simply reinforce the belief that Amercans (more accurately, Republicans) don't give a **** about educating themselves about what's going on in their name.

Obama could do it, but Ford has the better chance of succeeding!
I don't think so. The reason Obama spoke was to get the national attention for being presidential material. After he serves a term in the senate, he'll run. But - he might run as VP on Ford's ticket.
