a) Obama keeps bringing it up.

There is nothing else to discuss. Nobody knows what Obama stands for other than "I look different."

c) People are not tired of the race issue, merely of Obama using it. I still find it fascinating that skin colour makes a difference to so many voters and that some people have aparently such a weak understanding of world history that they don't realise that there are many black heads of states and head of governments in the world but very few women in such positions.

Obama is 2 of the nicest people I've ever seen. That should be McCain's next commercial. I don't care that he is black I just hate his politics. By the way what are they?

would it be racist to call him a chameleon? Maybe that's the change he's talking about?

I mean no disrespect to you or your mother. The only people that see race as an issue seems to be the democrats. They also seem to see sex as an issue.

I remember when General Powel was exiting the Army and no one knew to which party he belonged, the democrats said he would make a great black candidate. A good representative of what affirmative action can do. The republicans said he would be a good choice as president of the untied states. Ronald Reagan called him a good Irishman like himself.

Being coloured is just another tick mark for democrats to check off in their efforts to show a diversity they don’t believe in. just like they support women’s causes until after the election. Democrats have promised to fix every problem they bring to our attention. They had 40 years of control of the legislature and did not fix race relations in this country. Until Congressman Ford I had not heard an articulate coloured person in the democrat party. When he ran for speaker of the house he had the votes to win or at least put up a good fight. He was told it was not his turn, they were going to give it to a woman. It was not allowed to be put up for a vote. He had to wait his turn. Not that he was not qualified but a white woman needed to be in charge. He allowed this to become public and was forced out of the party. For some reason he could not give him the same funding others got from the party when running for the senate. A colored man ran for governor of New York, a white person also wanted the job. Though he won the nomination he didn’t get the funds to run his campaign and lost to a republican in a democrat state.

So yes, race will always be an issue with liberal democrats, just like gender and sexual orientation and economic status. All are factors in that party that screams racism, sexism, and gay bashing when dealing with their opponents. I think it was yesterday or today someone wrote a column on Senator Obama and mentioned how thin he was. The democrats jumped on it saying that calling attention to his body is a coded term to call attention to his race.

I won't vote for him either.

What the senator needs to win this is a cogent thought articulated without the use of a teleprompter. The age of meaningless platitudes died with Senator Robert Kennedy.

 

huh, do you think that's why he said no to the townhall style debates with McCain.  It amazes me when everyone talks about how well-spoken he is when he's actually only well-spoken on prewritten speeches. 

 

Yes, I paid attention the problem is that I am not afraid of him, I am scared spitless. Because of what he has said he would do as president. Just as I was scared spitless when I read what Senator Clinton said she would do as president. Think about it, both said they would help the poor by making everyone poor. They would help the economy by taking money from the rich to give to the poor. They were going to reduce our dependence on foreign oil but offer no substitute. With leaders like that Russia starts to look good.

Yes, THEY!  oooh, who are THEY?  It seems to me the only one making this an issue is Obama himself.  I haven't heard anyone else say that he doesn't look like the Presidents on the dollar bills - just OBAMA - not THEY! 

lol - I really think he should grow a beard and start wearing a stovepipe hat so he can look like a fiver.

WOW!  The spittin image of McCain!

NOT

Excuse me?  Am I the only one who notes a glaring logical fallacy here?

Touche.
