BusinessWeek’s ethics code prevents me from campaigning or showing my political stripes
Who the hell does she think she's kidding?!
Maybe the author needs to ask Senator KKK Byrd how hard it was to vote for Obama.
Wonder how he feels about the four black Obama supporters who beat the heck out of an 18 year old college student for daring to wear a McCain pin:

Our MSM is so corrupt, they send their kids out to campaign for the leftist candidates... All in the names of civics, ya know.
We have some hard work to do. Conservatives need to go to journalism school and start working in the press because we can’t expect a fair deal out of these people.
But who could oppose Barack? The answer is anyone who loves America and cherishes our precious, vulnerable liberties.
Business Weak is a crap publication from McGraw Hill who makes billions selling school books. M-H S&P unit totally blew it on ranking debt & mtg debt and execs should be jailed for it.
What does this article have to do with business? I subscribed to BW years ago but it has major Lib bias and often sloppy reporting.
Surprise, surprise.
First WHOA: The author is barred by ethics from “showing my political stripes” - so she sends her 15 year old daughter to work for Obama and then she writes about it! That’s some etics code.
Second: She is accepting a 15 year old kids’ observations of five confederate flags and other scuttlebut as a worthwhile gauge of county wide racism.
Third: She cites as evidence of white racism a poll which shows those affected by racism EVENLY split between Obama and McCain, and she mentions the tiny fact that Obama WON the damn county!
This article is real twaddle.
Let’s remember that Obama won North Carolina by half a million votes.... Guess that’s a sign of racism too because Barack should have won 100% of the vote.
We’re not getting our money’s worth out of the press. They are unreliable and actively pursuing the wrong answer.
We let it happen. Stop subscribing to newspapers and,for the sake of the future, encourage conservatives t go in the newspaper business.
Articles like this make me sick. Obama was elected because he was black, not in spite of it. And likewise McCain lost because he was white. Race was not the only reason but it gave Obama an edge more than it hindered him. Exit polls illustrated this.
At the mock election at my son’s school, the (very few) students who voted for McCain were instantly called racists by their classmates. My son was one of those few students, but race had nothing to do with it... my son is ardently pro-life at the tender age of 11.
Another child who voted for McCain was threatened with “being jumped” for doing so. Disgusting. But the media loves the spin of persecuted minorities being kept down by the (invisible) man.
how many of the non-Obama voter’s would have voted for Clarence Thomas if he was nominated by the Republicans?
I think it’d be a very small percent of the country that ultimately wouldn’t vote for a black candidate in one form or another.
I was not aware of this story. I wonder what the coverage would have been like if the races and political affiliations had been reversed? Hmmm....
Obama lied. Democracy died.

Who the hell does she think she's kidding?!
I learned a valuable lesson about doing our civic duty from this article.
In fact I've already called up social services to have these people arrested for child abuse.
All I will say is ..I work in a predominately black area.... and yes...RACE did play a factor in the Presidential election....all they knew was Obama was black and he was their man...Nuff said....so these types of articles really tick me off. The bias and racism from the black community truly shined throughout this whole election process.
This is the reply I submitted. I doubt they will post it.
“Funny how quickly the author was to spot racism in a shopkeeper’s use of the word “yep” and yet she is oblivious to the fact that for twenty years Obama warmed the pews of, and contributed large sums of money to, a so-called church that spewed racisim on a weekly basis to cheering crowds. The author is right about one thing. Racisim is alive and well in America.”
She missed the whole point. Of course there is racism: It’s what got Obama elected.
Does anybody think that if a white junior one-term Senator from Illinois announced he was running for President... that he’d have gotten anything other than laughed out of the room? Of course not.
I have “an almost 15 year old daughter” and I am from the south. Do I have a rebel flag? NO! Did I vote for obama? NO!
What did I teach my daughter about in this election cycle. I taught her that a president (no matter what race) should respect the people he/she is to govern.
What did I teach her about providing for herself? I taught her that government is not the answer!
What did I teach her about respect for life? I taught her that we should respect life at any stage!
Was it hard not to vote for obama? NO! Will it be hard to ever vote for a black man/women? NO! If the candidate has the platform that I can support it will not matter what race, I will vote for that platform and that person!
Normally, (as if I was normal) Id let this trit trash slide. But I can’t (BTW thans for posting kernal........)
So I’ll say it that this “MOM” is, well ina word dumb.
How dare you teach you teenaged kid to be a puppet like you.
I’m fine now, no wait for it.. wait for it..
Hey Biznich who’s the secretary of state? duh
Hey MOM, who’s nancy Pelosi? duh
Hey MOM, Allan Keys is a cool guy, yes? duh
Hey MOM, Who is Saul Alinsky? dhu
You know what I’m glad as hell I aint this kid, I feel soory for this young girl already. Spoon fed tripe.
I swear I would have voted for the mouse Algernon over this magical person called the One.
At least the one story has a semibittersweet ending.
MOM pick up a book that’s not written by anyone you ever heard of. I could suggest authors but you don’t know them.
The corruption of youth infuriates me to no end.
Stupid parents=stupid kids. fine.
parents wth a chip on thier shoulder/BDS/etc = activated young voter that has no clue. I’m done with this trite garbage.
I'm sure that BusinessWeek cannot tell your family what they can't do, but your writing about your child's experiences certainly treads the line... or didn't you think about that?
