I think sharpton would be pretty fun as a president.

A well spoken guy from a state Senate (there must be hundreds of people in state Senates who can speak well) wins election to his first term in the US Senate after his opponent drops out amid a scandal.

Big deal. Sure, it’s a big deal for Obama, his mother, & maybe Illinois, but not the rest of us.

40 years ago this would have been notable because he succeeded despite his skin tone. Now he gets hyped good press because of his skin tone.

Judging people, making hiring decisions, & setting expectations about their capabilities based on their race. . . hm. . . I know there is a one-word description for that, but it escapes me at the moment.

It reminds me that one of the arguments against having women voters was that they would just vote for good-looking candidates. As TV-age Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, & Bush can thankfully attest, good looks aren’t a factor in getting the job. Neither is skin color.

As recently proven, neither is good hair.

As for “black people whom white Americans can actually picture being president- can anyone honestly say they could picture Farakahn (sp?), Sharpton, Jackson, Mosley-Braun or Maxine Waters as President?

Obama for President? Jumping the gun a bit here, aren’t we? Obama doesn’t yet have the experience to be President of General Motors, much less the USA.

GM Boardroom: “Hey, Bob – did you here they hired the manager of Kia/California to run the European Truck Division?” “Yeah, Mark – and because he’s Black, I think he’d make a good CEO in 4 years!” – Pause – “Bob, you’re fired.”

Quite frankly, I don’t care what the most powerful person in the world looks like. I care what they do.

What kind of person is so completely bereft of morals that they would stand and vote in the state senate against a law that prevents abortionists from slaughtering infants who happen to come out alive after a failed abortion attempt? As someone on FreeRepublic stated in response to the attacks on Keyes, Barack Obama is a man will all the moral compass of Osama bin Laden. It’s a sobering though that such an evil individual would be elected to high office.

There’s a lot of talk now for similar reasons.

There was also a lot of talk about Jesse Jackson, Jr. when he gave a speech at one of the Dem conventions and brought down the house.

There was similar talk about Michael Steele, though much less than Obama, when he spoke at the GOP convention.

The fact that he’s being targeted already is something I find interesting.

He’s never said, “Some see things as they are and say ‘ why ‘ but I see things as they never were and say ‘ why not ‘ ” (Robert Kennedy)

or

“What we need is a moral revolution” (Martin Luther King)

- now THOSE men were visionaries.

It’s too soon to call Obama the next great leader until he comes up with something original to say, other than what all the other democrats are saying.

And from where I’m sitting, Obama and his cousin Osama both stand about the same chance of getting elected President of this great nation. Nor are my white friends that dumb to vote for an Illinois liberal like that…..they know damn well they’f better head for the hills if this glorified Charlie Rangel/Al Sharpton gets elected.

It’ll open season on American values (read: white people’s values according to people like Cornel West), not to mention, roughly the equivalent of Palestinians V. Jews. And we all know how much they love the Jewish state.

Did the democrat party not learn anything from Massachussetts Dork, formerly of Dukakis Lt. Governor fame?? Forget about how he talks the talk, “do you walk the walk?” – Osama, err Obama, is great at that. Talks a great game, but the boy’s got payback on his mind.

I’m takin bets…………I say he’s in the top 5 of liberals (can you say Moseley-Braun?) when we’re done exposing his House AND Senate votes. Right before Hillary-Osama 2008; we can’t wait.

And the next bit of advice I take from Cornel West will the 1st. He is the pits of black intellectuology. (What??) Hey, it’s a word. Got it from the Don King Online Dictionary, kinda like Booked on Phonics.

Still, as far as I can tell, Obama is just a pretty face. Talk about up-and-comers, what about Bobby Jindal? That guy has really accomplished alot at such a young age. I bet he runs for gov of Louisiana again, and wins. =He= could run for the Repubs for national office, I think. Let’s see them try to slap “moron” on that guy. Ha.

After reading your insights and good investigating you opened my eyes!

I have really wondered about him after watching him speak. I lived in Illionis just about a year ago and came home to Texas.

My eyes have sure been opened! I appreciate the careful investigating you have done. I am a white woman and I never ever thought black people could not speak quite beautifully, quiet intelligently.

I grew up in the 50’s as a young girl living in Texas and whenever I encountered a black person I thought quite highly of them. I came from living around mexican people since I lived on the border and there too I did not judge because of skin color. I had parents that taught me to respect all people. My grandmother especially. When she would cook her famous stew she would always tell me it took all colors of spices to make the stew delicious! Smart lady, very poor little baptist woman. She had so many friends that loved and adored her of all colors.

I was wondering about this man and I do appreciate knowing some facts that are extremely important to me. I can’t even describe how partial birth abortion turns me inside and upside down. Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois was allowing the partial birth
abortions. I flew into a somewhat state of rage!

What is wrong with a hospital and or a system that does this!?! Have people no mercy? Many women are barren so doesn’t adoption become an option?

I can’t even speak about this issue without feeling mad, no furious.
