Nader critiques Obama on race

Sounds to me like these comments are forward-looking, not backward-looking. Nader wants to know why Obama refuses to prioritize the health, safety and welfare of poor African-Americans, especially in the inner cities. That's a fair question. Moreover, why doesn't any Democratic candidate (except John Edwards) talk about poverty generally? Here's one answer: because they pander to voters rather than lead on the important issues of the day.

These were clumsy comments by a man who has done more for the poor and disenfranchised of all races than anyone else in the last 40 years. nader's record speaks for itself - these comments do not.

check out the website and see for yourself -- www.votenader.org --

I voted for Nader in 2000, but I think he might be going over the edge in his old age...he has no business busting Senator Obama for not picking up the "traditional" black political platform. Senator Obama is not running as the "traditional" black candidate, he's running as everybody's candidate, based on his personal experiences, not just the African-American experience.

The best thing liberals and progressives can do for this country is ignore Ralph Nader. Don't need a repeat of 2000.

Ralph is trying to get attention ... again. This time by bringing up race. Why isn't Nader bringing up the fact that McCain isn't talking about the poor either? Is it because Ralph has a race issue himself? Is it because Ralph assumes that blacks are poor and therefore, Obama should represent his race??? How pathetically old is THAT thinking?

Personally, I don't care about race or color. Move on to real issues: Iraq; Economy; Environment; Health Care;

He is more than clumsy. He is dangerous to the cause of any liberal. He is the best weapon the conservatives have.

Let's be frank here...if a conservative candidate said what Nader did he/she would rightfully be villifled! I'm guessing that won't happen here. Nader is a bigot and should stop feeding his massive ego with these increasingly embarrassing runs for the presidency. I think Bob Barr may do better than Nader this time!

Ralph Nader is a man consumed by hubris. He has done great things with his life, but his efforts to inject himself into the political arena have done significant damage to his reputation. It's a shame. Ralph Nader is not a leader. He doesn't have what it takes to appeal to and inspire a broad range of Americans. His efforts to disparage either major-party candidate do nothing to advance the causes he cares about.

Rather than objectively consider the criticism, instead the person who delivers it is thrashed. This is convenient for the Obama campaign since Nader is correct, as others before him have been. Remember Mike Gravel? Gravel used similar language and made similar points. He was marginalized and labeled a nutcase, rather than have his views explored. The alleged laughing stocks often display the greatest wisdom.

I agree with Nader (and with Mike) and others who point out that this season, in particular, the American political system at its very worst. It has always been one of whatever the most money and P-R can buy. Now, when we really need some citizen-level empowering, we see just the opposite.

If Obama is such a great leader, he most certainly would have demonstrated this in his record as a US Senator. As the most recent FISA cave-in by the Democrats illustrates, Obama is just one of the majority.

Again, I will vote for the "least worst" because in this land of total mediocrity we either don't deserve or cannot bring ourselves to achieve the very best.

As usual, Ralph Nader demonstrates that he hasn't got a clue, and is the worst possible choice for the office of President of the United States. Bcause Nader's white, does he only deal with "white" issues? And by the way, what exactly would those be? Are African-Americans unaffected by the Iraq War, the economy, or tax cuts?

Ralph's no more than a Lieberman in Liberal clothing, and should cease his egotistical attempts to keep qualified Democrats out of the Oval Office.

Once again Ralph Nader shows his true Republican side!

There is no WAY these comments are going to be interpreted correctly by the masses, but Nader makes some good points. Unfortunately, a vote for Nader is a vote for McCain as third party candidates are unfortunately of no consequence in this country.

That said, if you're in Mass or another non-swing state - feel free to vote for the guy. It won't make any difference. We're in a two-party system for better or for worse folks. People can't handle more than two choices, just as people can't handle a major party non-Christian (athiest or other) candidate. He'd be a great president if her were viable (which he's not). In that light, Obama is the only real choice since McCain is simply out of his freaking mind.

Ralph Nader should immediately cease his kind of race-baiting. It is not his place to assign priorities to Barack Obama, based upon his ethnicity or any other criteria. Barack Obama does not have to meet acceptable performance standards based upon his ethnicity -- to satisy Caucasian politicians. African-Americans are SATISFIED Barack (and Michelle) Obama are not only better acquainted with the challenges uniquely and historically affecting our communities -- and all poor communities (including Appalachia, who certainly do not respect them). Senator Obama doesn't need lectures or critiques from Ralph Nader, who is directly resonsible for the Democratic loss in 2000. He (as w/the Clintons) should stop triangulating using Barack Obama's race AGAINST him to make himself relevant (along w/John McCain/Republicans) this cycle -- after a two year GRUELING Nomination Process he conveniently sat out.

As a boomer who once respected Ralph, he should RETIRE.

Ralph Nader is on and has been on a huge ego trip for years. It's sad to watch this once consumer titan fall apart over the years in his ill-fated attempts for publiciity. Senator Obama is running for President of all of America and no doubt his interests in these issues will be addressed over time.

The good that was done by Ralph Nader was done decades ago. He's been nothing but a disruptive old grump for the last twenty years. He claimed there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush. Not exactly right, was he?

One would have thought that being wrong about Al Gore and George Bush being the same would have shut this guy up. Apparently he has no shame - and no limit to his ego. What a sad outcome for someone who once had so much credibility.

Nader is a loser and should not be in the race. If he gets 2% of the vote I will be surprised. He has nothing to offer the electorate. He just has a huge ego.

I love how the author imparts his/her bias into the piece by mentioning that Obama, "gave a widely praised speech on race and politics". This commentary is not necessary and it is also untrue as I read plenty of articles that took Obama to task for his speech.

The author also fails to mention that during his "race speech" Obama said he could no more disown Rev. Wright as he could his own white grandmother. Of course he has now changed that stance and has in fact "disowned" the Reverend. If I were his grandmother I would be careful or she might be next.

Is Ralph trying to get attention? YES.
Is what he said true? YES
Vote for him or not? it makes no much difference.

If Ralph wants to be effective, he should give up running for president and become an analyst and gather "true" facts on both candidates.

The issue I would like someone to clarify is the latest Obama announcement that he's asking his campaign contributors to bail Hillary out. Is that even legal??!! Reports indicate that the Clintons made $100.0mil over the last several years.. She should pay off her own debts. This has to be the strangest campaign ever. She spends millions to berate Obama and now he's going to pay for her campaign against him. You talk about pandering for votes, this takes the cake!! These two are pathetic!!

I'd like to hear a balanced message from Obama about the inner-city plight, such as babies having babies, generations of families addicted to government subsidies, and absolute lack of parental/community control over murderous young men.

Right on Ralph!

Don't let them scare you. SPEAK THE TRUTH

No term limits for Senators and Congressman means no change

The messenger is shot, again. What's wrong with Nader asking how Obama is going to address a fundamental issue facing many African-Americans today, i.e. substandard economic conditions? Obama doesn't want to address these issues because to do so requires a discussion about fundamental changes in the way our society is structured. Nobody in the "mainstream" wants to hear this, especially those vested with wealth and power. Wealthy people and corporations want stability. These interests want power structures which discourage change and supinate to the these interests. Caring for the poor is not the primary goal of our government--it is to protect wealth. For Obama, or any "viable" candidate to discuss this, is to become unelectable.

A vote for Obama is a vote for nonchange, A vote for McCain is a vote for the same. Vote for Nader, Barr, McKinney, Baldwin or any other third party candidate on the ballot if you truely want change. If we keep voting for the powers that be the power can never shift.

As an African-American, I am dismayed by Mr. Obama's total avoidance of traditional "black issues". He has done nothing to address the plight of the urban poor, illiteracy, general health & welfare, affirmative action, etc. All he's doing is catering to the white vote. He may be Rye & Pumpernickle on the outside but he's all White Bread on the inside.

Ralph Nadar may be past his prime as a consumer advocate but he still carries the banner of "Buyer Beware" in this political race.

I was talking to someone and they told me that Ralph Nader would never make it in Washington as a political figure. I told that person, well that is maybe what this country needs. He is not afraid of being politically correct like everyother pol. He is also not afraid of what the press may think or write about him. Go Ralph, Go!
Ralph is the only candidate that is concerned with the middle class and the American citizen!

Ralph is too good to appeal to the poorly informed and easily lied to television society. he has accomplished in his life what either of the two candidate can only dream of. he has shown throughout his life how much he cares about people. Obama? McCain? come on now. one has to be pretty stupid to vote for either of them. both Obama and McCain are simply two more politicians hungry for power so they can continue to corrupt an already corrupted system.

Yeah, delusional, that's why 17 different headlines on the story just slammed my inbox, it's not resonating at all.

Obama can "come on" any way he wants so long as it gets him elected. Nader doesn't seem to understand this aspect of politics at all. I am one liberal who will never (ever) forgive Nader for being a spoiler (potential, real, imagined, or otherwise) and being so f*cking unapologetic for it even as we have suffered in shame the last 8 years. I wish Nader would shut the hell up and go away.

I FEEL THAT NADER MAKES A GOOD POINT, BUT IF HE IS GOING TO CRITICIZE OBAMA FOR NOT HAVING A PLAN OF ATTACK FOR THE POOR, THEN THAT SHOULD ALSO BE GEARED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS WELL. NADER IS USING THIS AS A CHEAP SHOT IN AN EFFORT TO DISSUADE VOTES AWAY FROM OBAMA TO HIS SIDE. LOL. REALLY AT THIS POINT OF TIME THE FOCUS SHOULDNT BE ON BLACKS AND THEIR POVERTY, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I SEE ON THE NEWS THE POVERTY THING IS HITTING BLACKS AND WHITES AND ALL OTHERS WITH THE INCREASING COSTS OF GAS, BEFORE LONG EVERYONE IS GONNA BE IN THE DAMN POOR HOUSE.

Notice that one of the critics above chose to recall from 2000 the popular characterization "delusional" in describing Mr. Nader? It's the same old same old per usual political gamesmanship- marginalize with character assasination as a means to achieve one's objective rather than risk fumbling with the issues while facing your intellectual superior on a national stage. One is hardly delusional when one recognizes that the tipping of scales are being controlled by a powerful elite. Let's get real here, Nader is a threat to the status quo because he represents true leadership away from business as usual. Just look at his long record. Any affiliation with either democrat or republican party makes you part of the status quo. Do you really think more of the same is going to make your life and the life of your children any better? Just look at the mess this country is in! How many trillions more in debt are we going to go? The world order is changing and so must we!

My hat is off to you Mr. Nader
It is about time somebody comes out and tells it like it is, Obama is just another politician a corporate puppet that was created by Obama TV and the Chicago political machine, When will people of the United States wake up, Obama is for total governmental control he wants the people of the United States to give up your god given rights and hand us back privileges, which can be taken away at any time.
So for all of you sheeple out there keep following this Manchurian Candidate there will be change you will wake up in socialist country

I agree with poster No. 17. They should put whether it is an editorial or not in the page header so it's not confused with an (allegedly) unbiased news report. I thought Obama's speech on race was a load of crap and that he treated his grandmother terribly in favor of Rev. Wright for the sake of a few votes, then dumped Wright the minute it began costing him those same votes. Where is his white grandmother, anyway? Is he that embarassed by her presence?

Right on Ralph!

Don't let them scare you. SPEAK THE TRUTH

"Ralph is too good to appeal to the poorly informed and easily lied to television society. he has accomplished in his life what either of the two candidate can only dream of. he has shown throughout his life how much he cares about people. Obama? McCain? come on now. one has to be pretty stupid to vote for either of them. both Obama and McCain are simply two more politicians hungry for power so they can continue to corrupt an already corrupted system."

I can't believe someone had the audacity to call all Obama and McCain voters STUPID while at the same time advocating wasting a vote (again) for Nader. Did the last 8 years of Dumbya teach you absolutely NOTHING?? Nader is unelectable. He cannot get elected this cycle - and probably not ever. Gore/Bush '00 showed what a ridiculous fallacy this whole notion that "there is no difference between the major party candidates" is. That's just childish and moronic.

Look, you may not love Obama or McCain, but if you don't vote for one of them, you might as well burn your ballot. Nader is dead in the water - even moreso this time than in the previous cycles because whatever your stance on his policies, he CAN'T get elected. I've got a better shot at winning than he does. I'd love to vote for me too because personally, I think I'd be better than any of these clowns - but it would be a wasted vote.

Obama does not equal McCain. People who tell themselves this are the same idiots we have to thank for the last four years of Bush, his endless war, and his crumbling economy. So thanks!

If we recall 2000 we also recall that Nader saved most of his fire for Gore, not for W. Now he's going after Obama, not McCain in an effort to move the country in the worst direction that it can possibly take. His pathetically destructive ego seems to need this; it's the only way he can possibly influence world events. It reeks of the man's need to remain relevant no matter what the greater cost to the Country.

For all he's done in the past, ralph destroyed it by being a spoiler in 2000 and helping to elect our resident clown. And he refused to say Boo about it.

Think about what happened to consumers over the last 8 years. Where's Ralph been during it? And where is he now?

Instead of sticking to his strengths and being viable to really make a difference, he wastes time & money on a campaign with ZERO, none, nada chance of winning. His voice is silenced, by himself.

It is sad and ironic that someone who has spent a lifetime fighting against the tyranny of corporate interests in America finds himself the unwitting tool of those very interests. A champion of progressive political ideals for decades Ralph has chosen to undermine the candidates most likely to advance the ideals he has stood for. Evidence of how effective he has been in undermining progressive causes can be found among his most generous contributors in 2000 and 2004. In 2004, Encouraged by the Bush/Cheney campaign, Citizen’s for a Sound Economy and the Oregon Family Council, two right wing organizations, provided funds and marketing support to Ralph Nader in order to get him on the ballot in several battleground states.

His ludicrous and almost deranged sounding attack on Barack Obama is the beginning of a long, sad epitaph to a once brilliant champion of progressive causes. It is difficult for any public figure to remain untainted by the celebrity status conferred on those who seek the media spotlight to shape public opinion and concurrently their own public image. Those of us who have been inspired by his once brilliant leadership hoped Ralph would have been the exception.

Leftists show their true colors. Uppity blacks? You're not black enough! You need us enlightened white millionaires to uh, liberate you with more dependency on government programs run by us. Yup, Ralphie is the genuine voice of Black America; how dare any actual Black people (they're too inferior to know their own minds) run for office.

"There is no WAY these comments are going to be interpreted correctly by the masses..."
Nope, those masses shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Get Ralphie a one-way ticket to North Korea and we can "correctly interpret" any resistance to leaving on the next boat out.

PLEASE!! This guy is toxic. When will he realize that for all the good he's done in his life, he has also done irreparable harm by not knowing when to keep his mouth shut. Exhibit A being the help he gave to Bush's election. There is something called REALITY that he needs to seriously consider in his daily life. His behavior is making him more of a laughing stock every day. I am beyond hope that he will ever realize that he is a dangerous megalomaniac at this point in his life. Get over yourself, Ralph!

Egad! Mr. Nader, please, do the people of America a big favor and quit running for President. Narrate as many debates between Obama and McCain as you can. Start your own PAC and start taking ads out on the issues. Write a blog. Start your own television channel. TV show, maybe... Magazine, newsletter... anything to get the attention of the people to ask the hard questions. But when it comes out of your mouth as a presidential contender, and it attacks only one side of the two sided coin that is our politics, and it so happens that it's the same side that you could pull from, it makes you look as politically manipulative as the front runners. If you really, truly care about us, Mr. Nader, take a cue from Mr. Gore and take the high road. Get the message out in a successful way, not a hostile way.

At this point, Nader is not a leader or even a second rate politician. He is now a pundit. He has an opinion, not a platform. He criticizes; he does not inspire.
Where was he for the past eight years, when, if you believe him at his word, we would have needed him most? Running for public office? Lobbying for intelligent policy? Answer: ingratiating himself to the wealthy Republican donors who funded his cynical "independant' run in 2000.
You have to ask yourself why a so-called champion of the common man kept his head in the sand for so long.
Fortunately, eight years has made the rest of us a lttle more savvy. Bu-bye Nader. Save it for Imus and the View.

Did Ol' Ralphie just ask why isn't Obama doing a soft shoe? Let me reach deep in these republican pockets and donate to that man's campaign fund. I won't vote for him but I will do what I can to see he get's votes from the same cesspool he always does.

Ken Minkin; I'm not a critic. Per the article we are commenting on, Obama's communications director, Robert Gibbs, called Mr. Nader delusional. I was pointing out the fact that since I'd gotten 17 headlines in a matter of minutes on the topic it must be some sort of mass delusion.

I wouldn't waste limited time and resources addressing my fight towards Mccain either, those missing numbers he complains about in the Times/bloomberg poll recently aren't missing. It's just that the parties are having a really hard time accepting that there are that many people dropping them and remaining undecided. Add to that the number of people dropping from the R's for D's, and the growing number claiming Independent, and well...why bother?

I think we've caught on to the 'Nader' method of handling Mr. Nader, they simply say words like 'crazy, delusional, ludicrous over and over and absolutely over until it's all people think of. Doesn't seem to be working so well for them this year, thank goodness.

Interesting....we expect a black candidate running for President to address the concerns of the poor...do we expect the same from white candidates??? Why isn't Nader asking John McCain to do the same?

I agree with poster 35, Nader is attacking Obama for not being "Ralph" enough, instead of attacking the real danger, McCain. And for those who say he has no effect, I still run into sweet dewy eyed liberals that parrot "there's no real difference between the parties." Nader is a menace.

Ralph Nader should research or define the titlle "Community Leader in the Southside of Chicago" Mr. Nader don't you know that there are poor African Americans who fit the description of what you accuse Senator Obama of trying to dismissed. Please, check out your facts and also, go over your homework before handing it in for a perfect grade. SHAME ON YOU!!!!

very often people do something beneficial in the early years(unsafe at any speed) or write one great novel ....problem is the live too long....nader is a pathetic figure ....he has ruined whatever legacy he had left which was not much.......he never really cared about racial problems....i can think of no project that targeted the minority community...and is only try to get some ink because the news media and idiots who voted for him effectively putting one of the most immoral and dishonest president we ever had in the white house....wow what a legacy....

Democrat or Republican / Pepsi or Coke... CHOOSE ONE!!!

To all Nader supporters, what have the last 7 1/2 years gotten you? Have any of the issues that you claim to care so much about been seriously addressed. I think not. So the Dem. party may not be perfect but let's face it, can we really afford four more years of the Republican party in the White House? It would serve the american people better if Mr. Nader would work with the Dem. party it see that the issues he and his followers support are part of the political decussion instead of derailing the one change we have to take back the white house.lets not blow it again this election too much is at stake I truely believe this.

Having grown up being told I "sounded white," Mr. Nader's comments were extremely offensive to me. There is no monolythic "black voice" any more than there is a unified, monolythic "white voice." It is time for people to stop looking a skin color and start looking at issues. Mr. Nader is a sad, tired man who only appears in the final hours of the election season so that he can get his fifteen minutes of fame, otherwise, why isn't he speaking out during the presidencies. He is like the groundhog, only he makes appearances every four to eight years. I respect the things he has done in the past and I appreciate the fact that he talks about issues that many don't, but his attack on Senator Obama smatters of the very racist mindset that he claims to be so against.

If Senator Obama's voting record is in question, then so be it. But can we stop, once and for all trying to determine if he is black enough. I think the fact that hate groups have been threatening to kill him and his family from the moment he entered this race is evidence that some out that definitely think he is "black enough."

Senator Obama is a good man who is trying to speak out for all people. Progressive thinkers get this and are not trying to hold this man to some backwards standards that Nader ascribes to.

Nader has nothing of substance to add to the substantive consideration on the issues and has become an attack dog for Fox news.

We all know that all of these candidates will say whatever they feel that they need to say in order to get elected. Obama will not discuss these issues because these issues will not attract any new black voters. He already has the black vote.

He will say whatever he needs to say to the Whites and Hispanics in order to get elected. If he is elected, his agenda will become clear.

I believe that there will be many surprises about him during in the fall season. Right now, we know nothing about him that he does not want us to know. Even this article only refers to his time spent as a community activist.

This is the most unqualified major party candidate since Jimmy Carter.

1. In 2000, Gore's election campaign was shoddy.

2. He didn't even win his home state, Tennessee, which if he had won, would have made Florida irrelevant.

3. He lost Arkansas, the home state of Clinton, the sitting President, which if he had won, would have made Florida irrelevant.

4. There was disenfranchisement of black voters by Katherine Harris (well documented) - the Democrats did nothing, nada, zilch to challenge that.

5. The presidency was handed to Bush by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.

So, I'm not sure how and why Nader is a "spoiler." In a democracy, one has to earn votes - it's not an entitlement.

6. In 2004, Mr. "anybody-but-Bush" lost the election.

7. 62,040,610 people voted for Bush vs. 59,028,444 for Mr. "anybody-but-Bush."

So I'm not sure how and why Nader is a "spoiler."

As long as Dems keep focusing on red herrings and blame Nader for their losses in 2000 and 2004, instead of actually showing some backbone, they'll probably keep losing. Keep ignoring the reality that more than half of Americans actually voted for Bush in 2004, and is it any wonder that you lose elections. But introspection is one of the most difficult of human activities, and it is always easy to find a convenient scapegoat like Nader.

Speaking as someone who truly agrees with many of Nader's critiques of corporations, *I* say he's delusional. What has he actually done since the 60's?

Simply put, he has always striven to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If a piece of legislation wasn't perfect, he would attack it and attempt to destroy it. Worse, he would do the same to anyone who supported it! Anyone who believed in compromise would become a hostile force in Nader's view, and therefore someone to be fought brutally. By doing so, he has been more of an impediment to progress than anything else. And he has earned the unusual distinction of having one of the highest ratios of former friends to current friends of anyone in politics. How many organizations can you think of besides Public Citizen that don't list their founders (other than Exodus International :-)?

So let's look at the proposition of Nader as President. He's apparently committed to alienating all potential allies, defeating any bill that's less than perfect, he'd be facing a Congress without a party to serve as allies... and Nader supporters say that if we think his candidacy is a joke, we are either slaves to the system, or delusional ourselves.

With friends like these, progressivism doesn't need enemies.

What in hell makes Nader think he is in a position to DICTATE what "the number one thing that a black American politician aspiring to the presidency should..." campaign about?! I swear to goodness white people and their entitlement never cease to amaze me.

If Nader has some sound, content-based, criticisms of Obama's platform and positions, then he should make them. But if all he can find to say is, "Black politicians are supposed to whine about the plight of the ghetto; that Obama sounds SO WHITE with all his issue-based campaigning!" then maybe he needs to sit down and shut up and keep his crazy, outdated racial philosophies to himself.

Perfect be the enemy of good.

Or, if you support lesser of the two evils, you still end up supporting evil.
There's more than one way to look at a situation. :-)

At some point, one has to say "enough is enough" and part ways to try out other options, like the Green Party, instead of sticking with an abusive partner who only pays lip-service to change.

People don’t care about global warming, they care about going to work, going to stores. Stores or hospitals that have goods in them brought by truckers (more tax payers that will loose their jobs), along with all the people that go to work in them and pay taxes. We for the most part believe it is money making scam that will break the back of the USA tax paying citizen.
How many jobs must these fools destroy in their foolish mission against the American workers. These are all jobs that will be destroyed by the global warming lemmings. This whole dream world they have created will be a nightmare for the USA citizens. The politicians who believe this crap should stay out of jets and out of cars entirely save the gas for the working class tax payers. Put your global warming where your mouth is. HYPOCRITS! Oh and stop flooding our country with illegals they use our recourses, the very same ones you want to deprive us of.
We are sick of your ridiculous costly half baked solutions in this cart before the horse rhetoric that doesn’t pan out.

You are in office to serve us not yourselves and your foolish lofty ideas to destroy our economy. ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY!

We should be doing everything we can to secure our country and yes drill America runs on oil and it will use less and less as more progress is made. You must let people work and afford a cleaner tomorrow. It is not your job to hamper our productivity. It is your job to let us be the American worker and secure that for us. It may take 50 years or 100 years if you look at all the jobs and services involved. The US is not instant coffee or your board game. How many people will be ruined for your nightmare dream? How many jobs must vanish for your selfish dreams?
I have one thing to say to you hypnotized drones who think we don’t need oil, don’t use any, save it for the people who need it. Go live in a cave and leave the rest of the hard working tax payers alone with your nonsense. I’ve noticed you are hypocrites that ride around in jets and limos. Everything that we touch is brought to you by oil.
Big deal we have a oil additive or we have lots of batteries we wont know what to do with. none of that will save us if just one of the countries that dont like us decide not to sell us oil.
