Black leaders still sizing up Obama

As has been said before, he is not an African-American candidate--just dark. He was rasied in priveleged circusmstances, attended Harvard Law School and has not a trace of Ebonics in speech or living other than a history of drug use.

His claim to fame is he is the candidate of the guilty White, meritocratic liberal who see in Obama a transcendental experience of "can't we all get along" or "Gee, we are all multicultural now.." That is why he sells.

He obviously is more liberal, antiwar and radical than any of the other candidates but like most charlatons he pictures himself as a "uniter not a divider" and so on and so on.

He will be tough to beat!

Sounds like a football locker room scene.

[ASA Vet]

He will be tough to beat!

If he's not too blasphemous towards Queen Hillary during the primary he may be given her VP slot.

The stupid party will hand them the election.

Speaking of Obama's "sizing up"......

It's all about the money. Whomever makes the largest donation will get supported.

I am from NC and Edwards is about the biggest assclown to ever come out of that state next to Jesse Helms.

Obama had one black parent who wasn't even American. He grew up from age 2-10 in Indonesia with a Muslim step-father and then spent the rest of his time in Hawaii with his white mother. The only reason he's called "African-American" is simply because of skin-tone, not because of any cultural or ethnic factor. He has no relationship at all to any of the U.S. civil rights struggles. About the closest he comes is having had a teenaged mother and a black father who abandoned him at an early age.

Obama isn't even half African-American. Nor is Colin Powell. Neither are African-Americans.

I know at least one who is. He's a naturalized U.S. citizen from Rwanda.

[EagleUSA]

The libs are trying every trial balloon -- including Obama, trying to pass him off as a Black American. Which he is not. He just looks that way. His Black ancestry is not even from America and he is only part Black. He is also totally unqualified to be a President, and he is a socialist.

Just another liberal carpetbagger.

[Wil H]

Jesse and Al don't want no black President!

If we get a black Presudent the gig is up for them,.

Who's gonna speak for the oppressed black folks if the The President is black?

Ain't going to those two losers...

[Wil H]

Just another liberal carpetbagger.

Who apparently was educated for four years in a WAHABI MADRASS !

..But omits to tell people.

LMFAO you must be kidding.

Obama is going to get "swiftboated" so fast it will make your head spin.
