Many people seem to be enamored by Obama because of his ethnicity and not his beliefs

News from Bangladesh ^ | June 27 2008 | Paul Kokoski

Obama speak of equality and human rights but supports the murdering of innocent children through abortion and embryonic stem cell research as if such people were a sub-class of human beings . This is not consistent with the U.S. Declaration of Independence which clearly states "... all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This refers to the human fetus as does the similar decree by the United Nations.

Without the right to life no other human right makes sense. Hence, contrary to A.H. Jaffor Ullah, it is not only acceptable but imperative that one judge Obama according to his position on abortion. which is so extreme so as to include infanticide. Also contrary to A.H. Jaffor Ullah the majority of Americans oppose abortion. America was founded on Christian principles and no one has a right to exclude morality from the law as A.H. Jaffor Ullah thinks. When morality disappears you get anarchy.

Human life begins at conception. This was established 120 years ago by Wilhelm His, the father of human embryology. Major theologians also agree that it is at the instant of conception that a person acquires his or her soul. Procured abortion, therefore, is the deliberate killing of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, extending from conception to birth. While the slogan that abortion is a woman's right to control her own body may sound reasonable to many, it is a medical fact that the human fetus is not a part of the mother’s body. It is a separate, distinct and unique human person with its own heart beat, brain waves and DNA.

When pro-abortionists today speak of "unwanted pregnancies" it immediately calls to mind the horrible references to Adolph Hitler and his "unwanted Jews". The only difference being that the law today makes little racial, gender or religious distinction between who, among the weak and innocent, it allows to be systematically exterminated.

It is estimated, for example, that 1.3 million people are murdered each year in the U.S. through abortion. This is much more than those who die in war. If it is unfair to compare pro-abortion lawmakers and politicians like Obama to people like Hitler it is only because Hitler was responsible for the death of less people.

People may deceive themselves that legalized abortion across the world has not changed much in our private lives and in our society. But there are no "small murders". When man loses respect for life, he inevitably ends by losing his own identity. We all must welcome every new life into the world, regardless of the circumstances, as if it were our own. Our lives and the lives of our unborn children are inseparable.

Obama is now promoting himself as an advocate of "family values" yet he also claims to fully support homosexuality which thwarts the natural generation of life and which is the anti-thesis of the family. According to an open letter on his campaign website Obama said: "As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws." This will inevitably marginalize organized religion and those with religious beliefs. We already see this happening in Britain where new government laws on homosexual rights are forcing Catholics to sever their ties with adoption agencies. In Canada it is increasingly becoming impossible to oppose homosexuality in any form without being branded a purveyor of hate.

The family is not a client of the State. Rather, the State and society depend upon the family (which precedes the State) and its work to bring up morally sound citizens. Nor is the family an aggregation of individual preferences but an organic unity whereby mother and father are not replaceable or interchangeable but complimentary.

Philosopher Jacques Maritain wrote that democracy - what many consider the best form of government - emerged in human history as a temporal expression of evangelical inspiration and as such - in a historical rather than a dogmatic sense - is closely linked to Christianity.

Today, however, democracy is incorrectly perceived by many like Obama as an ethically neutral political regime that is able to embrace values that are not only different but actually in opposition. Of course, this "democratic relativism" is rightly aberrant to Christians because it is blind to the objective dimension of goodness and value.

Every political regime - and democracy is no exception - needs to be motivated by absolute values. As a proof - a democracy which formally aims to neutralize the conflictual values present in the social fabric in the conviction that it can give them the only possible legitimate foundation, cannot refer in its turn, on pain of contradiction, to prior founding values.

Ultimately American must ask themselves this November whether they want a moral nation or an Obama-nation.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That is the question.

[WayneS]

So then, it appears a high persentage of those who support Obama are... racist.

[Jeff Head]

Obama's ardent followers (including the MSM) are not swayed by logic, reason, or truth, and regardless of his positions, his gaffes, his past, or his associations, he is an idol and they the idolaters. His campaign media-blitz has been designed and engineered to evoke just such mindless hero worship without considering specific positions.

Nothing you can say or do will convince these people otherwise...


Because I am the one they and I have been waiting for...and I am lovin' it.

Those wild-eyed people represent the millions of Americans raised in the government day-care and indoctrination centers we call public schools who did not have, or would not listen to, parents and others who tried to counterweight the propaganda they heard at school...who have been raised on 60 second sound bite time spans and know no better.

You have other tens of millions on the dole who will vote for him regardless of position because he promises to keep pilfering the public largess for them.

Still othes of millions will vote for him simply because he is black, not caring to hear or look at his actual positions.

Other millions will vote for him because they know exactly who he is and what he represents and agree with his anti-American positions.

The first three are all what is termed, useful idiots, a term coined by Lennin for the dupes he got to support him.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans, of all races and creeds, who understand and hold fast to the foundational principles our constitutional republic rests upon...many of them the bitter, rural Americans clinging to their guns and religion that Obama so arrogantly spoke of.

Finally, understand that this is not the first time in history that rock-star, messianic status has been conferred on a populist, charismatic individual in order to hand them the reigns of power. Although there are many critical differences, still it is important when you consider the danger that this candidate poses to American foreign policy, our economy, our social fabric, and to the war we are fighting against fanatical Islamic Jihad terrorists, to note the following comparison:

A populsitic, charismatic, self-serving individual has a way of mesmerizing foolish people looking for an idol...then and now.

Simply put, Barack Hussein Obama is the apex of the hate-America, domestic enemy in this country. His election as president would be the greatest coup any enemy has ever scored against this country and could easily lead to the worst, horrific disaster in our nation's history.

THE AUDACTIY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[BunnySlippers]

I believe that Obama assuages “white-guilt” about slavery. Obama is half white and speaks well. He's not like Jesee or Rev Al. He's a black politician many whites feel comfortable voting for.

I'm not one of them.

[DustyMoment]

Many people seem to be enamored by Obama because of his ethnicity and not his beliefs

Reason #1 why many people should not be allowed to vote.

[Red_Devil 232]

Without his outer epidermis he is nothing!

[Theodore R.]

Many Obamamaniacs may also be motivated by the desire to see an official “African American” president. Many probably fear they will not otherwise live to see such an historic event. In other words, for these odd Americans, it’s now or never!

[Theodore R.]

These bizarre Americans are the people envisioned by Joseph Stalin more than a half-century ago.

[SJSAMPLE]

“Obama or DIE!!!”

I’m still waiting for P. Diddy to make good on his offer.
He knows where to find me.

[vietvet67]

This comes next.

[CondorFlight]

“The liberties which we prize. . . were born not in Westminster, nor even in Philadelphia, but on the shores of Galilee. They are implicit in the Christian faith, and were that faith to perish, they would perish with it, quite irrespective of any apparatus of law and of military force which might exist to sustain and safeguard them.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge

[Jeff Head]

They have been educated and molded to be. Obama's campaign is engineered to appeal to them.

They're today's, modern, "useful idiots". The same as what Lennin used in his revolution...er, "change".

[ETL]

"Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called 'too close to infanticide.' Obama strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision upholding the partial-birth ban. In the Illinois state Senate, he opposed a bill similar to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion. And now Obama has oddly claimed he would not want his daughters to be 'punished with a baby' because of a crisis pregnancy -- hardly a welcoming attitude toward new life."

This country is not in very good shape right now. We really need to be looking at turning around the failed liberal policies of the last 50 years. Instead, we’re going to elect a moronic, Marxist only because he’s “black” and because we all think we’d be making some sort of goofy “history.” What good is “history” if we don’t have a country anymore. The “black” thing has really gotten out of hand. Especially since the “black” guy they want to make President of the United States is just as much “white” as he is “black.” Like everything else the ‘RATS come up with, Obama is a fraud. A Marxist fraud at that.

[esquirette]

I think we are ready for a midget for president. We have never had one. I liked them a lot in the Wizard of Oz.

The ONE question I would ask an Obama-bot is:
"Would Dr. Martin Luther King vote for him?"

[FlingWingFlyer]

The whole Obama thing is an illusion. The Commies are sneaking a Marxist under the radar by having the morons in the country focus on his "blackness." A standard wolf in sheep's clothing gig. If he is elected, it will also allow the DemocRATS to declare their "Dumbing Down of America" program a huge success.

[HIDEK6]

So then, it appears a high persentage of those who support Obama are... racist.

Well, yeah, but it does make things easier for us, what with not having to worry about that "content of their character" thing.

[HIDEK6]

Without his outer epidermis he is nothing!

Please correct me if I've got this wrong, but I understand that his father (the black half) was not present during Barry's childhood.

He was raised by his white mother.

Is that right?

There is reason to question his ethnicity - from a thread yesterday:

By Kenneth E. Lamb

Sen. Obama’s autobiography is filled with “composite” characters, rearranged timelines, and fantasy events that never occurred. I read that twice in the Washington Post - read Richard Cohen’s columns of Jan. 1, 2008,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/31/AR2007123101662.html

and March 27, 2007,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/26/AR2007032601583.html

for yourself.

There are more articles
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-070325obama-youth-story,1,4006113.story

than that, by more authors
http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=1f22d28c-ced2-4761-b350-77f3513928ac&k=52616

than just Mr. Cohen, but I wanted to get started by saying that what follows isn’t just something I’m pulling out of thin air. What follows is serious, documented, and not at all what those who want to write history about the election of the first so-called “African-American” president, want in the least to admit is true - and why its truth matters more than their desire to ignore the truth for the sake of their desire to write history.

While his shrill wife objects, the truth is that Sen. Obama’s life, as he wrote about himself in his autobiography, is, in fact, nothing but a fairy tale. Again, don’t take my word for it - read Mr. Cohen’s, and others, articles about it.
http://wichita.craigslist.org/pol/552957338.html

If what Mr. Cohen writes are truths, then what Mr. Obama wrote are lies. It’s just as simple as that.

Yet there is not one word from the “Last Bastions of Accuracy” that comprise our first-tier information enterprises about the complete lack of integrity Sen. Obama shows with his fictional life history. He lies, but his lies are swept under the rug by a groupthink mentality that is so desperate to regain leadership positions - as opposed to actual leadership programs to earn those leadership positions - that it ignores the truth that Sen. Obama lies - about himself, about his life, about his actions - and even about his racial composition.

I researched what follows for a NY daily of international reputation. It wasn’t what I thought I’d find. I documented it, presented it to the Washington Bureau Chief, but was hardly surprised that it never saw ink. As you’ll see for yourself, this is the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

I must pause very briefly to note usage of the word Negro in what follows: In all academic studies of race, the proper scientific word for the ethnic composition I discuss is Negro. For any who scream racist at its mention, I say take it up with the scientific community. It’s not my word, it’s theirs. I am using it in its proper scientific context.

Why is the fact that Mr. Obama is only 6.25% African Negro not reported?

Because to acknowledge it is to report this devastating truth about him: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Federal law requires that to claim a minority status, you must be at least 1/8 of the descriptor, but for the sake of this article, I’ve converted it to a decimal fraction for easier comprehension. You must be at least 12.5% of the racial component you claim for minority status. Mr. Obama, claiming to be African-American, is half the legal threshold.

Again, to let it sink in: Mr. Obama is not legally African-American. It is impossible for him to be, in truth, America’s first African-American president.

Yet claiming to be African-American is the soul and substance of his claim to fame. It is what he has used throughout his adult life to distinguish himself from other competitors. It is the ethnic identity he proclaims, and it is the ethnic identity he craves. Without it, he is just another mixed race Caucasian Arab with an African influence playing on his skin’s pigmentation.

But no matter what he craves, no matter what he has used to propel himself through life, no matter the racist presumption of seeing his skin and without question calling him black, the hard, cold, genetically inarguable reality remains: he is not an African-American.

Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming “America’s first African-American president” ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama’s great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator’s ethnic composition.).

That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side.

Put another way, his father could honestly claim African-American ethnic classification. He was the last generation able to do so.

Sen. Obama could honestly say, “My father was African-American.” Racist presumptions led an Ivy League admissions committee, and lazy “newspapers of record” factcheckers, to presume that if his father is African-American, then Sen. Obama must be African-American also.

But it doesn’t work that way. Racist presumptions coupled with sloppy vetting don’t turn a lie into the truth.

Sen. Obama is one generation too far removed from the ethnic African Negro input to make the same claim as his father, Harvard’s Admission’s stamp of approval notwithstanding.

As you can see for yourself, Sen. Obama’s African-American ethnic claim, when properly researched and documented, is a lie.

The question no one wants to answer - particularly Mr. Obama and his supporters, is, “Why do you think he has an Arabic name? Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father’s side have an Arabic name?”

The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father’s side of the family tree is Arabic.

Need proof? Research the Kenyan records for yourself. You will find that his father was officially classified as “Arab African” by the Kenyan government.

But in America’s current political climate, that truth is heresy; that truth is “an inconvenient truth.” It is the political equivalent in our time to what Galileo’s scientific pronouncements were in his time: it is true, but nobody wants to know the truth because the lie is so much more comforting.

That is why detractors of this truth will do everything to denounce it, except submit to the discipline of actually researching it.

There’s a reason for that: it proves he is not sufficiently Negro to earn classification under American law as an African-American.

For Sen. Obama, telling the truth means he will give up all the accolades about being the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, an accolade that relies on a sleight-of-hand in job titling that changed the name of the top job from Editor to President.

If stated in its absolute truth, Mr. Obama was the second person of color to run the Review. He was beat to the Review’s top spot by a true African-American about 60 years before Mr. Obama showed up for classes.

Again, a very inconvenient truth.

That is devastating in itself. The further effect is that Mr. Obama would have to convince Americans still reeling from 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, that now is the time for America’s first Arab-American president.

We all know what chance that has of succeeding.

Of course, that would only happen if Mr. Obama told the truth about his racial composition. To tell the truth means Mr. Obama will have to admit that which he has never been forced to admit before, even in the face of the massive lies of his autobiography: Mr. Obama’s entire projection of who he is, and what he is, is a lie.

Mr. Obama would have to say to the world: “I am not what I’ve told you I am. I lied to you in my autobiography when I told you I am black. I lied to the Admission Committee at Harvard so I could get in. I lied to my constituents in Chicago so I could get elected to the State Senate. I lied to my constituents in Illinois so I could get elected to the US Senate. I lied to my supporters across America so I could be President.

“I have lied all during my life to play the race card, and use it, cynically, to advance myself by playing upon the racist presumption of Americans to accept, without question, that anyone of color is African-American. I lied to you, and you blindly accepted it, because of your own racist presumptions about color, and ethnic identity. I looked African-American, and your racist presumptions told you to believe it.”

Even as you read this, the overwhelming majority of you will continue to believe it. Even as you know the truth, you will block the truth out of your mind, because you are bred to accept the racist presumption of color, and ethnic identity.

And so many of you reading this will create incredible mental gymnastics, telling yourself why the truth doesn’t matter. You will lie to yourself because you want to believe the lie, and then curse the American body politic for being built on lies.

You will do this all while failing to tell yourself the truth that it is your lies, as much as any other lies, that are killing the body. You will commit the very action that you curse as the cause of America’s demise, because you are jaded beyond recognizing in yourself the very same disease you so freely condemn in others.

Here is the truth about Mr. Obama’s name, and his father’s ancestors:

True Negro tribal members of western Kenya where his father was born have Christian names, not Arabic. His father’s decision to name him with an Arabic name is a matter of his father establishing his ethnic identity in Africa - it is done deliberately to separate him from the African tribes. He may live among them, but he is not one of them. His father’s message is that he is Arabic, not Negro.

Many will find these truths unsettling. I’m often asked, “But I thought his father was Kenyan. How could Mr. Obama not be African-American, how could his ethnic composition be so Arabic?”

The definitive clue to that answer is to look at his name, his father’s name, and the names of all his ancestors on his father’s side. They are all Arabic.

Researching his roots reveal that on his father’s side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region. Funny how circular is history; now the British again face the Madhi Army, albeit this time Shiite, not Sunni, as in nineteenth century Sudan.

But telling America’s black community that while their ancestors were breaking the shackles of slavery, Mr. Obama’s ancestors were placing those shackles upon their wrists would hardly play as an Oprah Winfrey best-seller.

Being the son of a poor Kenyan goat-herder plays much better than being the son of a highly placed Arab-African who operated at the top of the Kenyan government following his education at Columbia. You see, even the way he portrays his father is a lie.

We need to linger for a moment on Ms. Winfrey, and her support for Mr. Obama. A very serious problem arises with Ms. Winfrey because of her double-standards: Does everyone remember how she went ballistic when a person whose book she endorsed turned out to be dishonest about what he said about his life in his book?

Of course you do. She pulled the plug on him and forced him into a highly publicized “Mea Culpa” of near groveling for her forgiveness. She publicly humiliated him, and would actually twist-up into contorted faces, visibly hot with anger.

Why then does Ms. Winfrey operate with a double standard for Mr. Obama? She knows his so-called autobiography is replete with “composites” - an Orwellian word for fictional characters that never existed but in Mr. Obama’s imagination, even though he addresses them in his autobiography as if they are real people. They aren’t; they are lies.

So are his timelines, chopped up and rearranged for Mr. Obama’s aggrandizement. And there are the complete lies about events he said specifically impacted his life - events that never occurred despite his writing that they did. They too are lies.

As I said, don’t take my word for it; read Mr. Cohen’s columns in the Washington Post for the details.

Why then does she not hold him to the same standards she held another author?

She doesn’t say, but the possibility that the reason is race-based is fair to ask. What Mr. Obama did is far beyond what the other author did. Why then, public humiliation for one, but campaign whistle-stops for the other?

Ms. Winfrey needs to tell us why. Her integrity is on the line.

Mr. Obama has struggled all his life trying to prove that he is black enough to be called black.

The truth is that if Mr. Obama is elected, his primary ethnic composition is Caucasian, but of course, that carries no cachet.

So if we look at his next predominant ethnic component, Mr. Obama would be America’s first Arab-American president. The truth is that his name says it all.

What amazes me more than anything else about Mr. Obama’s heritage is the unwillingness of anyone in the journalism profession to want to know the truth. While all this is easily documentable, it is so radioactive that no one wants to be on the receiving end of the racist charges that will bombard whoever broaches the truth.

It is another example of how America’s political system is further degenerating into fairy tales and lies. Torpedo boat attacks in Viet Nam, WMD’s in Iraq, Sen. Obama is African-American; we shamelessly lie to ourselves to rationalize whatever we want to believe.

But I wrote this tonight because I’m tired of reading about “integrity” written by those who have none themselves. They know Mr. Obama’s autobiography is filled with lies from start to finish, they know he lies about what his operatives do (the Apple advertisement knock-off against Hills immediately comes to mind), and for those who circulated my research, they know he is not legally black.

But for those longing for Camelot, for those who feel a good story trumps the truth, for those who are so jaded about others that they now live as those they profess to hate, for those who are terrorized by the racist attacks these truths bring, the integrity of Sen. Obama doesn’t matter.

Because their own integrity doesn’t matter to them either.

Why am I writing this? Maybe I just want a clear conscience, clear that the research I did didn’t get buried because the people who received it are afraid to tell the truth in the face of Sen. Obama’s frenzied celebrity status. I’ve been in the business since 1972 - 35 years - writing and researching for people like the NY Times, the Miami Herald, the St. Petersburg Times, The Jewish Information Network, so I know what it’s like on the newsroom floor right now. Nobody can dare speak against Sen. Obama without generating at least a flickering flame of doubt about his or her own sanity – not to mention the knee-jerk reaction that questioning him is indicative of some deep, dark, racist agenda spurring those questions on.

And truth? I ask as Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Who cares about truth? This is history; this is the first time ever in America – why let truth get in the way of chronicling history? (. . . I wrote facetiously.)

Maybe I just want to know that if he gets the presidency, he will get it honestly – if this is general knowledge, and he overcomes it. Maybe I’m just tired of presidents who lie to us; and in this case, I already know Mr. Obama will lie to us, just as he lied in his autobiography, and on so many other occasions documented by Mr. Cohen, by Michael Dobbs, the Washington Post’s factchecker, and so many others.

And maybe I’m tired of us lying to ourselves. Mr. Obama is what we’ve lied ourselves into believing he is.

Maybe by saying that I know he lied, and saying that we lied to ourselves, I will say after he is elected that nobody has any right to complain about him lying after he takes the oath of office, when everybody knew he lied about so many other things – when we lied to ourselves about so many other things, so very long before that.

Too many of us have become too soft and too addled.

If we really believe that this man, with virtually no experience at the federal level of governance, save for his running for POTUS, will actually do good things for the nation, we are in very, very dangerous territory.

He is a socialist and he worships government.

He is, perhaps, the most un-American candidate in the history of the US to run for the highest office in the land.

OMG.

“I believe that Obama assuages “white-guilt” about slavery.”

I think a lot of very shallow liberals love his “black preacher” routine - it makes them feel like they’re part of the “black experience” (i.e. they are judging him on the color of his skin as opposed to the content of his character).

James Madison was 5’4”.

I think that only makes him half midget and half tall. Hey—maybe there is something to that. . . .

Obama is half white and speaks well. He's not like Jessee or Rev Al. He's a black politician many whites feel comfortable voting for. I'm not one of them.

Me neither!

I believe his appeal is all in his voice quality ~ 100%

He SOUNDS confident. (emphasis on CON)
He SOUNDS sexy
He SOUNDS too cool for school

But he offers nothing of substance. No wisdom, no experience.
Those who only hear his voice quality aren't listening to CONtent.

He dresses well and could have been a male model many years ago. His wife is slim and has above average fashion sense.

The "package" the Obamas are presenting is compelling for those who lean Left with the added benefit that one gets to say that they cast a vote for the first black preisdential candidate [making them not racist].

This is an unusual race with strange dynamics.

Our guy: "old white man". Speaks okay but prone to news-worthy sound-bite gaffs [bomb, bomb, bomb Iran]. Wife is attractive but odd, wealthy, slender with good fashion sense ... but a bizarre druggie history.

So, who wins?

“He is, perhaps, the most un-American candidate in the history of the US to run for the highest office in the land.”

And the most dangerous. Job 1 is protecting the homeland and people trusting this man to do so is plain insanity.

This is an unusual race with strange dynamics.

Understatement of the century!

I look forward to the debates, matching McCain's wisdom, experience, and military prestige with Obama's..... empty twaddle.

Would love to see a match-up between mad Michelle and classy Cindy.

Against this it is left to us to educate, arouse, and amass the tens of millions of Americans

Looks like this one's already aroused...

[Waco]

somewhere, in the fine print of the DNC it says that the party heads will select the nominee, not the voters. since we may be heading into full-blowm depression by Nov. watch for them to give it to hilary or some other in desprate attempt to elect the next prez.

[fwdude]

I’m still waiting for obama to pander to the “gangsta” crowd with some foul-mouthed ebonics and crotch groping posturing. Or maybe he’ll find his ancestral southern-plantation negro roots: “I don’ feel noways tired...”

[Jeff Head]

Sarge...sarge...sarge. Stay within the ring...ordinance within the ring. Hehehe.

[syriacus]

Neither of Obama's parents cared enough for the US enough to want to live in it.

No wonder the "America Last"-er Candidate is so attractive to folks who want to change America.

[Dr.Deth]

Most Obama supporters I have had the misfortune to talk to do indeed judge him by the color of his skin, not by the content of his character.

[Theodore R.]

But the uninformed American people disagree with us, and in our system the people are always right even when they are wrong.
