There's Something About Obama
I feel that America is coming apart as a society. We are in the midst of campaigns for a forthcoming election with all cards laid on the table and they don’t seem to matter. Barrack Obama has been shown to have very poor judgment on several occasions and yet he has managed to hoodwink numerous news anchors and politicians in to thinking there is nothing below the surface that is questionable regarding his character. I have listened to his nonsense for a long time now and I, for one, refuse to vote for him simply because 1. He is Black and the Country needs to do that 2. Because he may be capable, more so than others, of establishing a dialogue with Muslims and the Middle East. 3. Any other irrelevant reason to be President besides being truly qualified
I look at what the man is portraying to me. He is portraying an individual who is still carrying the race card in his pocket, who has a wife who has to have her husband as a candidate for President to be proud of America, and who thinks she is special pertaining to student loans. Obama may be an honorable man with charisma and speaking skills, but you can always judge a man by the past company he kept. A man who refused to disavow his pastor for anti-American comments and rhetoric of Aids Conspiracies against Blacks until Rev. Wright made a miserable spectacle of himself in the media. Only then was he forced to disavow and condemn him. THat is not my idea of a Presidential candidate who is really capable of making hard core decisions without the race factor first and foremost with him. He should have condemned Wright three months ago.
No one can convince me that his affiliation with the church for 20 years does not affect who he is now. Every core belief I have ever held and everything I ever did say or will say, or argued for or against, stems for the most part from a religious and spiritual upbringing accumulated from people I knew and respected. By knowing and respecting Jeremiah Wright as his mentor, and being like an Uncle to him in Obama's words, there is no denying that after 20 years that that played a profound part in what Obama has been about and will be about. It will influence his Presidential mode of behavior, if he is elected.
There is no way I can in good faith vote for Obama as he has failed judgment scenarios that are quite significant on several occasions. I am not going to partake of his racial banter anymore in every speech he makes. Anyone who firmly believes in solving racial issues will leave that out and can be satisfied with coming together as one. Blacks need to get away from the putrid declarations of a “BLACK” church as much as Blacks would hate a reference to a “WHITE” church by Whites. Although if Whites said "WHITE CHURCH", then according to Blacks it would be racist and bogoted and a crime. Stop hanging on to the double standards and move on. That is, if he really means what he says.
So you won't be voting at all then? will you hold your nose and cast a ballot for McCain (and it seems the only thing you like about McCain is that he is "not Obama"...take that however you want). what will you do on election day besides complain?
