The Clinton's have done a wider damage in that they have lost all the supprt they had in the African American community. No longer the title of "first Black President" for Bill. Maybe Bill campaigned the way he did for Hillary so that he could retain that label. ============================ At Warmdaddy's, Cooling Toward Clinton By Krissah Williams Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, April 19, 2008; A06 PHILADELPHIA -- Slow R&B music played as the after-work crowd trickled into Warmdaddy's, a South Philadelphia restaurant and jazz club where the hostess wears a square button with Sen. Barack Obama's smiling face and two Obama '08 placards hang from the window. Support for the senator from Illinois may be in doubt in other parts of Pennsylvania, but Warmdaddy's is a stronghold for Obama supporters in a city he is expected to win in Tuesday's Democratic primary.

When we asked for steam rice, the waitress mentioned that she will have to charge a dollar extra. That never happened before. She explained that the price of rice has almost tripled in the past month! Rice is a daily staple for the majority of people in the world: Asia, Africa, South America they all eat rice every day, and yet there is shortage of that as demand keeps growing and available land is converted to planting corn to Hummer running. The gap between the poor and the rich will even be wider. Its not the conversion of land from corn to rice........both crops grow very differently and require a different environment. The problem has been and continues to be crop failures in several different crops that have occurred all over the world. There are shortages in almost every grain including wheat, rice, rye etc. That is why Ag stocks are doing so well.
