"IMHO, Sara Palin is more of a man than any of the current runners I've seen yet...GOP or DNC, and Obama is certainly no match for her. She exists and lives in a real world, whereas Obama and his communist, metrosexual leanings promise change, when he can't even really quantify what those changes are going to be, or what he's going to change from. His brainless supporters hear him and "believe" in him like lemmings following the lead lemming over the clif. I don't like the term, and I've tried not to use it because it offends even me, but Rush Limbaugh was right in calling him "The Magic Negro". Obama is a hollow man; propped up and positioned by his handlers who have indoctrinated him in their way. I wish Palin was in the running for POTUS, but I'll have to settle for VP. :-)"

I agree with everything you said, except the part about Rush. It was the LA Times who called him "The Magic Negro". Rush was merely quoting the _real_ racists, as usual.

Listen to the parody song:
"Barack the Magic Negro-That's What the LA Times Called Him"

RUSH: "..I have railed against the liberals out there who are trying to say he's not black enough. The LA Times has run three such pieces, two of them devoted expressly to that topic: Is Obama black enough? The UK Times did one late last week. There have been three of those, and then, of course, you had the "magic negro" story. That parody doesn't make fun of Obama at all. The parody, all it does is make fun of the left, and that's what all of these parodies do. That's what everything that we do on this program does. It has an element of truth in it which makes it funny but it's also oriented toward making a point.

We've always called it "illustrating absurdity by being absurd." There's nothing more absurd than a bunch of Democrats out there wringing their hands, liberal media types over whether or not some candidate is black enough, while they're shouting, "Racist, racist, racist!" at every conservative they know -- and it's not conservatives talking about Barack's skin color until they do, and then we parody it, and then they call us racists. Well, it doesn't wash...

..As I have said repeatedly, it breaks my heart to see how minorities in this country are treated by the people who claim to be their champions, because those people who claim to be their champions are the exact opposite.

It is not I nor is it this audience who are racists. I didn't come up with this whole concept of Barack and this "magic negro" thing. It is leftists in this country who are obsessed with skin color and gender and sexual orientation and grouping people into those categories and then seeing them as victims, and when you see them as victims, you don't see their full potential. You deny it. You see people who are incompetent, and it breaks my heart.

We are conservatives. We want the best for everybody. We believe that we're human beings. I don't look at Barack Obama and say, "Is he black enough?" Liberals write pieces about Barack Obama and ask, "Is he black enough?" on the basis of does he have roots to the civil rights protests and movement in this country. .."
