Are you tired of RACE and SEX being a qualifier for OFFICE. Especially for President?

Does it seem to you lately that every time they mention Clinton or Obama. The media has to refer to their race Obama (black or not black enough), Clinton (woman)????

I for one am so tired of the media, force feeding to us the obvious fact that these two candidates (of which there are many more whom they never mention their race or sex) are a woman or black.

I want to vote for a candidate on his or her issues not there skin color or because she's a woman. And I have not heard very much on the issues from any of the candidates to be honest. Slavery has reared it's ugly head again I heard the other day that Obama could be a healer for the slavery issue. Get over it, Slavery was over, 243 years ago.

This is interesting.... John Bootie is an independent candidate with an interesting take on the Obama/Hillary coverage.

The Congressional White Caucaus should look into this matter.

“Are you tired of RACE and SEX being a qualifier for OFFICE. Especially for President?”

Yup! It’s the campaign inside the campaign and what those guys are doing has nothing to do with leading this country. Not one ‘journalist’ will touch THAT story, though.

What else are they supposed to hang their hats on? Obama's long record of being a leading advocate of nothing? Hillary's distinguished and leading role in criminal conspiracies? Neither has executive experience, neither knows how to run even a large company, and the largest group of people either has managed would be, by extension, their present campaign staff.

There's not a heck of a lot to say about either. They are all bringing out the same topics, cherrypicked from focus groups - health care, economic opportunity, classism, and socialist viewpoints on how corporations need to 'stop robbing the people' while everyone invests in them through their mutual funds.

That Hillary's a woman, or that Obama's a black man, is about all they can say.

Ron Paul is the Angry White Male.....LOL.

[dmz]

I am. Yesterday, the news talking heads spoke of a young woman who was tempted to vote for Obama, but decided to vote for HRC because she didn’t want to look back 10 years from now and think that she had not done her part to elect the first woman prez.

Would that she would worry about electing the BEST prez.

Well it’s better than RACING for SEX as one past occupier did......

[Domandred]

I’m just waiting for people’s heads to explode when their choices are Obama or Romney.

Invest in popcorn no matter who your candidate is.

[Aliska]

Well, if they hadn't taken me to adobe to download shockwave, I'd read the rest of it.

In this election is matters; sometimes it wouldn't matter a bit. I would welcome a black POTUS or VP or a female. Just not either of these two and not while we are fighting radical jihadis.

The media no longer reports the news, they try and make the news. I’m tired of Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Chinese-Americans, etc, etc. Just be Americans and they’ll most likely be accepted.

[omega4179]

Not much better than self decribed republicans that will vote only for the guy most “electable”

[woollyone]

I just LOVE to ask someone who uses one of those hyphenated terms if they were born in the area they hyphenate...”NO” is the common answer, which then leads to the “so why use the term” question,, which results in much stammering, because they just can’t say “I need the entitlement sympathy” with a straight face.

And, depending on who’s the final Dem nominee,

if you don’t vote for them, you’re either a racist or a sexist.

My M-I-L has declared to my wife that she’s voting for Hillary, but for some reason can’t articulate why.

I told my wife to tell her mom that she (my wife) is going to vote for the “white male” because he’s a white male, and then wait for a response.

[Cowboy Bob]

I think that its kind of funny that Hillary won by playing an Oprah trick - shedding a tear.

Oprah won her audience of middle class white women by shedding a tear on at the appropriate time.

Yep, I decided about 5 years ago that anytime I filled out forms that included race questions with the various category to “X” I just “X” the other category and write American. To hell with the jackasses that want to divide and conquer with the diversity, multiculturalism nonsense.

[Bon mots]

I think the article is exaggerating about gender.
Just being a woman is not enough.
You have to be able to cry too.

“Get over it, Slavery was over, 243 years ago.”

Slavery ended in 1765? News to me.

OBAMA’S ‘CLOSE FRIEND’ A BLOODTHIRSTY MUSLIM EXTREMIST.LINK.

Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior. When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi… Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s “stooge.”
