I knew this would happen. I really did. I think we all knew.
However, I will never consider Clarence Thomas incompetent, or Walter Williams, or Thomas Sowell, or Condi Rice (although I have my differences there) or Herman Caine or Shelby Steele and on and on.
But they are not racists. Obama is. So all this damage is being done because he has a good baritone and people are not smart or careful and are too easily manipulated.
Great advocate for conservatism, incredibly capable of explaining economics in terms anyone can understand (except maybe liberals), smart, but doesn't have the intellectual firepower of:
Thomas Sowell
One of the smartest Americans alive today, perhaps in any generation, of any color. One of my personal heroes.
Herman Caine
Smart, tough, cool - why doesn't this guy run for office???
Michael Steele has acquitted himself pretty well in this whole Jimmy Carter flap, IMHO. We all had our doubts about him at first, because of his POLITICS, not his race, for all you DU lurkers.
One final thought, just for the record. If JC Watts, Ken Blackwell, or Herman Caine WERE to be elected President, does anyone on this forum doubt they'd be called "n&&&ers" on DU and DailyKos, openly and without repercusson?
My daughter is a freshman at Georgia Southern. She saw Condi give a speech there. She absolutely loved her. This is the same young lady who still has a Sarah Palin button on her purse!
We could do worse than Condi.
