I guess it’s true that anybody can be president
Obama is setting a precedent in the US, which is amazing and something to be proud of. Until you look closer and see that the man who would be king doesn’t actually like the country he hopes to lead.
I am a better American than Barak Hussein Obama.
3) Obama refuses to wear a flag pin because, he claims, true patriotism consists of opposing the Iraq War. The colliery to this, of course, is that Obama must therefore believe that people who support the war are not “true patriots” a position which is, to say the least, odd.
4) One of Obama’s friends is William Ayers, a man who unsuccessfully attempted to blow up an Army dance and, when asked about this terrorist activities after September 11th, said, “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough.”
5) His wife infamously recently claimed that the fact that her husband was doing well in the Presidential election made her feel proud of America for the first time in her adult life.
6) He belongs to a radical Church whose Pastor - a man who he is close to and who provided the title of his second book - says that we should sing “God Damn America” instead of “God Bless America” and says that American got what it deserved on September 11th.
I say we all (those of us who are not actual Americans) write essays to the New york Times as to why WE would be a better president to the nation than its own son.
I’ll look forward to reading it.
I was watching some of the stuff his pastor was spewing last night on the news….very scary to think that our (I sure hope not) future President could have that type of person as a spiritual adviser.

Obama’s wife is only making a half million dollars a year in her ‘communications’ job - do you think it’s easy to send the kids to summer camp on that pittance?
Where is your compassion?!
Black women are far more successful in every other country of the world, the US is the only place where a black woman could be so hard done by.

America is a nation that is separated by a vast racial divide. There is an undercurrent of frustration, resentment and downright hatred in every inner city in America. I don’t think that it would be an exaggeration to suggest that virtually every black American harbours some racial resentment. In some cases it’s deserved. After all, the ancestors of many black Americans were once the actual property of the ancestors of many white Americans. And that’s the sort of shit that never gets forgotten or forgiven.
Of course the fact that black resentment is actively courted and cultivated by guilty white liberals and academics doesn’t help matters any.
The plain truth is that, in America, blacks are not only taught to hate whitey, they are taught that it’s OK to hate whitey. They are conditioned by their communities and the liberal media to blame any dysfunction or failure on the white establishment. Every small instance of prejudice is exaggerated in the media while the obscenely massive amounts of black on white crime is hidden. Blacks are encouraged to see themselves as victims and whites as their oppressors.
I believe that Barak Obama’s wife feels this way. Maybe Obama does too. He is, after all, a black American. Why should we expect him to feel any differently than other black Americans?
As much as whites don’t want it to be about race, the truth is that it is really all about race. That’s why black people are rushing en masse to support one of their own kind.
This being the case, it seems to me that it is only fair and prudent for white people to do the same.
Please note that my ‘race centric voting philosophy is to be applied strictly on a case by case basis. In the event that Condi Rice (the sexiest women in the universe) ever runs for President, you may disregard everything I have written.

Good comment INP. You cannot be a conservative like Condi and be Black. It’s not the color of your skin, it’s the content of your politics.
She actually dared to succeed in America. This is not possible if your are ‘really’ Black in America.
