I've read the text of speeches Obama has given to black audiences for a decade. He is very hard on them. He's a bootstraps kinda guy when it comes to the black community.

Refreshingly honest. He sounds like Jesse Ventura.

As has been pointed out by those far more intelligent and eloquent than I, racial preferences don't really qualify as "bootstrapping."

LOL, Obama has some very smart handlers and he is a smart guy with a messianic type aura.

But he is a socialist first and foremost. And he is being totally dishonest when he campaigns as a moderate. Where was Obama when Cosby was getting pilloried for saying the same things?

He was back in Illinois getting a nice side yard courtesy of Mr Reszko, that's where.

The guy didn't even know who Medvedev was and he didn't have the chops to admit it.

He's lying to the democrat party about NAFTA and he'll lie about anything he needs to so that he and his disadvantaged wife can occupy the oval office.

And then he'll act in ways that will put us right back to the late 80's and 90's when jihadists were allowed to murder Americans with impunity.

The guy has never had a regular job in his life. Never hired one employee aside form his Nanny in all likelihood. The most liberal Senator in America campaigning as a centrist is about as far from refreshingly honest as it gets amigo.
