Being Black doesn't automatically qualify you for the job.
You act like America has to elect him because of his race.
Like some blogger's have stated here, Affirmative Action doesn't apply to the Presidency.

I will vote with my brain not my eyesight.
Even with my eyes closed I can see Obama has no idea of what to do. Just pretty catch phrases and a failed voting record in the senate both US and IL.

Perhaps you prefer black folks support the Republican “perennial candidate” Alan Keyes?

Yes, I do believe that the majority of black folks are voting for Barack because he is black AND because he’s got his stuff together! He demonstrates better judgment. He is better educated. He is a better communicator. He is closer in touch with the average American than John McCain could ever imagine. Poor John had to find a hook in Sarah Palin just to get people out to hear his message.

Black folks have been supporting white candidates every since you thought it was the right thing to do by “giving” us the right to vote. And, now, to show enthusiasm for one of our own who is, literally, a head above his competitor in every aspect should not be a surprise. Sure, we have had other black folks to run for this office. Like other black candidates in the past, Rep. Shirley Chisholm didn’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning, but they wanted to push the envelope to bring issues that were near and dear to average Americans to the fore. By doing so, they helped raise the bar for all candidates. And when the bar is raised, all Americans can benefit.

I agree you must base your decision on the character of the candidate and not the color of their skin.
But don't complain that race is an issue because EVERYONE isn't polling for Obama.

The last few elections have been close as well as this one will be.

The majority will rule, like it always has.

I know how and why I'm voting for my candidate and that's all that really matters to me. Until you have a mind reading device and connect it to every voter out there, don't let your own racial bias thoughts assume everyone else has them.

Once again my statement about presenting a valid point goes to another subject changing and forgotten in the background.
Why are you avoiding my point?
Maybe because you can't dispute it.


OK so you can't answer that honestly without looking like a hypocrite. Sooooooooooo.

We go to the CHANGED SUBJECT:

McCain isn't Bush. Never has been, never will be.
(In the eyes of the Lefty Dem's)
(The statement about continued Bush policy would apply to any Republican candidate, solely on the party affiliation)


He (mcCain) will bring change to the system.

In the last 8 years I have continued to support myself and live the lifestyle I enjoy. Last year I had a record profit in my business. The business I went out and created, I went out and pushed, I went out and worked for.
No one helped me, because I took it upon myself NOT TO SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO BE GIVEN TO ME.
The Democrats offer nothing more than Big Government that taxes the business man from his hard work to give to others crying about not getting an equal share. They believe SOCIALISM is the answer America needs, not good ole American know how.
If I make over 100k a year it's because I earned it. NO ONE ELSE. The amount of taxes paid should be the same across the board NOT higher for those who have worked for more money. Democrats see it as a crime of humanity to have money, while others who contribute NOTHING go without.

There are many standards I look for in a candidate, Obama has none.

#1. Was just a hypothetical pun.
#2. You pose the question as to why would anyone not be voting for Obama (since you excluded the usual reasons. e.g. lack of experience, he’s unknown, elitism, exotic) if not for any other reason than his race.

Well if you take away all his inabilities I guess you are only left with his race. If you are to think that way.

I still stand by my question on why you failed to include your "assumption" of everyone knowing you were actauly talking about Blacks supporting Obama for his race. Not the NON support of others , which I guess I misinterpreted.

Seemed to me you where accusing a certain group of being racist in their voting habits.

Have a good weekend.

Bro: Still abusing that thesaurus I see.
Its wishful thinking at best.
In psychology they say that you project your attributes on others. Humm based on that I would assume from all your blathering that you yourself are the Racist. I think its very sad,though you may be articulate. most who are Racist are just fearing what they don't know. Ill just ignore your RACIEST rants about white people. Or maybe not.

Young people are beyond race and the world is beyond the sex of a President or Priminister( ie Germany, Chile, presently and England, Israel and Pakistanin the past just to name afew). Only in America the most free and one of the more liberal countries in the world do we cling to the white male founding father immage of a president why? I bet most Americians still think God is White.

Great picture microbrother and thanks for letting me post it's more than I can say to some of your detractors.

As I have posted before blacks until this election have always supported white Presidential candidates so it is only natural that given the choice to vote black for the first time many people do just as if a woman were the candidate many women would vote for a woman if given the choice. Sarah Palin's views are oppiosit Hillary Clinton's yet John McCain feels many woman will support his candidacy simply because she is a woman.

Y1&1/4 and DIRTDOG
The RNC see's race as an issue that's why you saw Alan Keys on stage at the second Republician debate. He had no true Presidential aspirations and when he ran against Obama in Illinois he was barely even a resident of the state. Just a token carpetbagger from Maryland who somehow was still able to get 20% or so of the republician fathful's vote.

As much as it kills me to admit RD yes. A token candidate placed there by the RNC. Both parties practice this type of politics.

Until the day (which is comming soon in this country) pure whites males are in the minority anyone other than a white male will be viewed by whites as a token candidate. Obama is not just Black and that's the differance. I truly belive that if all people were the same skin color we would differentiate ourselves by the color of our eyes. Such is the nature of modern man. The only impartial voters are the visually impaired maybe we should be looking at content over personality or skin color.

Thanks microbrother for not deleting my post from your blog like some others do

Sorry pinky, but I like having individuality in the world.
Everyone being the same color, shape and form would only bring us closer to a colony of clones.
No I think it's up to each individual to be able to think with their minds and not their eyeballs. Throwing everyone into one melting pot isn't an answer. It assimulation.

Excellent point(s) MsColleen, and WBoyd, you are right on target, good post. RED-DOG1, AveMaria22, and Y3Y3 already know my thoughts on the Obamaman subject, so I will not proceed.
