Obama wont even help his brother who lives in a shack on $1.00 per month (I''m sure MEchelle won''t let him)

A work colleague told me the Repbublican convention was a sea of white faces (he''s non white). Evidently there were 65 black delegates at the Republican convention. Nationwide polls consistently say that 95% of Black Registered voters say they will vote for Obama.
See it''s not about race; only 5% of black voters vote Republican.

And as far as the American Black ethos, Obama is entirely remote from that, having no slave history ancestry whatsoever; well unless his Arab ancestors happened to be slave traders; and we have no knowledeg of that.

Maybe Black american voters like the idea of having a Sol alinsky Marxist dictator rule this country, enforced by his "brownshirt" civilian police that he wants to install.

Read his tow books, and then read Mein Kampf, and then bone up on the history of the Nuremburg Rallies.

Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to relive them.

All Obama has done is tear this country apart.

Obama today%u2026

%u201CI love this country too much%u2026%u201D

Too sit in church for 20 TWENTY years and listen to not God Bless America but *******- AMERICA%u2026

That much love..

I never bought into the phony that is Barack Obama and I%u2019m sure glad America has seen the lie that is Obama%u2026



Here is a little know fact about Obama%u2026%u2026%u2026

At all of Obama%u2019s town hall type meeting he has Teleprompters that flash up key talking points concerning the question just asked. He gets the question then hews and haws a bit until the talking points come up and then he use them to frame his answers. There is an assistant off stage who hears the questions accesses an answer database and posts the talking points on the Telepromters.

The only racist in this race is Barrack Obama...

[mbskoczen]

" New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.

In a videotaped interview this year on New York%u2019s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama."

The issues on which McCain and Bush differ are legion:
McCain fought for campaign finance reform %u2014 McCain-Feingold %u2014 that Bush fought and ultimately signed because he had no choice.
McCain led the battle to restrict interrogation techniques of terror suspects and to ban torture.
McCain went with Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on a tough measure to curb climate change, something Bush denies is going on.
McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts when they passed.
McCain urged the Iraq surge, a posture Bush rejected for years before conceding its wisdom.
McCain favors FDA regulation of tobacco and sponsored legislation to that effect, a position all but a handful of Republican Senators oppose.
McCain''s energy bill, also with Lieberman, is a virtual blueprint for energy independence and development of alternate sources.
After the Enron scandal, McCain introduced sweeping reforms in corporate governance and legislation to guarantee pensions and prohibit golden parachutes for executives. Bush opposed McCain''s changes and the watered-down Sarbanes-Oxley bill eventuated.
McCain has been harshly critical of congressional overspending, particularly of budgetary earmarks, a position Bush only lately adopted (after the Democrats took over Congress).

Bush has set a new record for a disapproval rating, in the past week - with 68 per cent of people disapproving of him. Given how close McCain is tied to Bush and Bush''s policies, there is only one conclusion if Obama fails to win in November, and that is that the US continues to be a racist society.

[mbskoczen]

Obama has no I repeat no experience among many other short comings and if you don''t think he will make a good president you''re a racist..

Frankly I don''t like Obama because you can''t believe a word he says.

[justaperson1]

Come on down to Memphis.. Please Obama - see how you are going to keep the RACE card out of it here. AM990 is PREACHING and feeding people hate here. They are full OF HATE IN MEMPHIS AND OUTRIGHT SAY THEY WILL DO "SOMETHING" IF OBAMA LOSES. More and more I want to leave this country to escape all of this. I fear for my life here.

At least Obama isn''t the one pretending to care for people while driving 13 cars and living in 8 houses with butlers and poolboys.

[kansas1946]

If there are only six percent of folks that are racist, then I would say we are doing pretty well. If you listened to other countries opinions of the US on race for the last coupld of decades, the percetion in those countryies was that about 90pct of Americans were racist. If we only have a six percent idiocy rate, then that means 94pct of us are thoughtful and voting on issues, character, etc., not what color a person was born. In most schools, 94pct is an "A." Good going America.

Wow, you don''t really have a heart (or a head for that matter) - I guess this is a common problem with repugs - mock the disabled Kennedy.

How many troll points did you get today?

Or did you not get some lovin from your lover?

Obama said "You bet there are some WHITE people who won''t vote for me because of race", and I say "You bet there are some BLACK people who will vote for Obama just because of race". Why don''t you hear the MSM talk about that? I won''t vote for Obama because of his judgment for staying in Rev Wrights Church and his judgment when he overlooked Hillary for VP. I won''t vote for Obama for many reasons to numerous to mention, but the fact that he is black is not one of them. What a good excuse he and the Democrats will have when he looses.

Why don''t you start telling us what you do? Are you still living your mom''s basement?

I don''t really see race being injected into the campaign by either party. What I see is news companies that have lost their journalistic integrity and attempt to fan flames so they have something to report. These same organizations present opinions from opposing viewpoints rather than facts. It''s petty and annoying.

That''s not to say that CBS could not report on a meaningful race-related story, but they should research some facts rather than just trying to get by with a bunch of quotes from parties with conflicting interests.

Of course, the quotes out of West Virginia during the primaries did seem to indicate some racism and xenophobia. There''s sufficient stupidity on both sides.

[jefflz-2009]

Despite the McCain''s self-serving distortion of the facts and the extensive criticism he has received Obama does has an impressive record of highly relevant experience:

3 highly successful years as a community organizer

first black President of the Harvard Law Review,

12 years as a Constitutional Law professor,

8 addtional years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, chairman of the state Senate''''s Health and Human Services committee

nearly 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran''''s Affairs committees

voted for by 18 million people (far more than McCain has ever had) and leads a presidential campaign in 50 states that employs 2500 people raising hundreds of millions of dollars from private individuals defeating powerful and highly respected primary opponents

Some may say he is inexperienced to cover for their prejudice. We can only hope that for these people common sense will prevail and they will vote for Obama because he is by far the best qualified candidate for their country. Neither his race nor his exceptional intelligence will drive away any but the true bigot.
