He then chose to live in the south side for 20 years and hang with the afore mentioned lefties through that time. I don't care about his color. I care about his politics. As far as him being a good speaker. True. I have a republican friend who is considering voting for him because he is a good speaker. (at least when he has his cue cards in front of him). When it comes to issues like abortion, and pretty much everthing else, they are a world apart. Why in the hell would anybody vote for someone because they sound intelligent? How bout voting records, associations, etc. Those are reasons to vote for someone. It amazes me the spell people are under with this guy.I mean right wingers who would otherwise hate his politics.

I was at lunch today, over hearing a table full of blacks say 'I am going to vote for Obama just to have a brother in office. How many others feel this way? Not trying to sound like a racist but just being realistic here. Didn't mean to offend anyone if i did. Why do white people call him black like he was brought up in the ghetto and got an education and is trying to scam everyone that he isnt a brother. He is 1/2 white and raised by white mother and surrounded mostly by white influeunce growing up and education . If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I would call it a duck. There is nothing white about him!:eek:
That's funny! Actually, though, I think when he becomes president we are going to see the most asinine and freedom infringing legislation come out of the house and senate ever, and what wont come out is the veto pen.
He is too good of a speaker. The people in this country believe whatever you tell them. The polls right now can show whatever they want but when it comes down to the election day, they won't vote a black man in.
Not yours. The other 7 pages of comments. Look, 95% of traders lose money because they're clueless. What makes you think they know anything about politics?
Because some of us served our country and give enough of a shit to do our homework before we ignorantly and blissfully vote for whomever the media tells us to vote for.
I simply cannot imagine an Obama President! This would prove that people aren't smart enough to be ALLOWED to vote in this Country, and that's scary. I served in the Marine Corps as an Enlisted, and Officer (Mustang! Ooh rah!), and hopefully have an opinion due to prior service. Obama= 35% taxes on Hedge Funds, and Private Equity. Not to mention Cap gains in general! taxes go up, as GDP growth sinks under the water, all the while, Inflation is going kaboom! Bear Market, and lingering recession. Pulling out of Iraq like a baby, and all hell breaking loose in that region/mess we made, and have to stay and fix. At a cost... Oil:eek: Do I need to even go there? Obama would make Jimmy Carter look like a rocket scientist in comparison.:eek: I can't imagine the mess... Wide spread social programs. For example, making it once and for all better to have ten kids by ten different guys, sit on your fat ass eating cheese curls from wal mart, and get paid well for it! By well, I mean a pay raise in 2008, 2009, etc., to be a waste of space! Last, and one of my biggies: Gun Ownership! That idiot will re-enact the crime bill outlawing all 10 round + magazines, and what HE, and our Broken Left Wing Congress and House deems an "assault weapon." This will drive the prices up 500-600% like before in 1994. All of this at a time when our Country is scared of terrorism, and wishe to protect their homes with an AR-15. I do! That's my Obama rant.
This is the third election with the internet This election will have many more blogs and informational sources then the last election did. The true Obama will be all over the internet. There will be no question in the truly open mind that Obama is a Marxist, Racist, and a Jew hater. America will not elect an openly socialist, racist person as president and electing Obama would be like electing Louis Farrakhan. John
