I don’t think Obama has much “street creds”. Face it, he was raised white in white or Asian schools all his life. If, in fact, his father was actually 7/8 Arab and 1/8 negro, Arabs being a flavor of “causian” would make him 15/16 “causian” and 1/16 “negro”. (The real reason his birth certificate is “TOP SECRET”?)
Personally, I’m more or less indifferent to a person’s race, but since Obama is running on persona more than positions, I suppose it would make more of a difference to his supporters than his detractors. I find his politics dangerous when not vacuous, but he seems to have a decent enough character, unlike many Democratic politians I could name < cough> < Clintons>.
I was with you right up until you said you think B. Hussein has a “decent enough character”. I think his political opponents in Chicago could shed some light on that. Also, his “business” associations in Chicago do not make me very comfortable regarding his character.
Not to mention that to all appearances he is a racist, which many consider to be a character flaw.
