Hillary won, almost without breaking a sweat!
sorry, guys obama is BEAT. I said that pastor wright would haunt him. I loved the fact that Obama stood by his minister and composed such a beautiful and elegant speech that was both truthful and aspirational ( in comparison with the undiluted sewage that most politicians expect us to believe the world over.) He was truthful, i beleieve that had the media left the radical pastor alone Obama would be doing fabulously, however the media man , stired things up and created an unease in the mind of the great american democrat.
the doubts , are how can a black man co -operate with the world leaders who by and large are old white men, when his pastor is so sure that white men are the root of all evil? after all we have to realise that outside african and parts of the african diaspora a black president or prime minister is a rariety. America like most places that have had either been part of the slave trade or had apartied still has troubles in relations to race. Here in england it is still rare to see a black political leader ( but most of the black comunity has only emigrated since 1948) i can name only a few. Diane abbot , baroness england and baroness amos, baroness scotland, and david lammy, paul boteng, the now deceased Bernie grant deserves a mention.
Obama may seem threatening to some on account of his background, he is probably not considered by many as having a truely African American background, his father is kenyan, but he was not raised by his father, he was raised by a white woman and by his indonesian islamic stepfather. Now for some the fact that his father had no ties to the country would unsettle, the fact that obama’s middle name is hussein would unsettle, the fact that he had studied at a islamic madrassa would deeply upset some americans. But it would be something that they could come to understand, but couple them together, the whole picture becomes something to be feared.
what some people see….
A black man.
A black man with a nonconventional pastor
A black man with a nonconventional pastor with a foreign father
A black man with a nonconventional pastor with a foreign father and an islamic schooling background.
A black man with a nonconventional pastor with a foreign father and an islamic schooling background and his middle name is hussein.
A black man with a nonconventional pastor with a foreign father and an islamic schooling background and his middle name is hussein. Can we trust anyone with an islamic lean to be in power.
so the media starts churning up, old material and to be honest lets stack those irrational thoughts on Obama against irrational thoughts against hillary.
A woman.
A woman, whose husband was good at HIS job.
A woman whose husband was good at HIS job; but screwed around on her.
A woman whose husband was good at HIS job; but screwed around on her. but hey that’s hardly anything you could blame her for.
it is not an even tally there. even if you add ” she seems annoying”
It does not matter if some of the arguements are irrelevant, it does not matter that you cannot make political decisons on such frivolity. if it was a choice i know people vote with their hearts and guts. it only means “yes we can” is now “yes we can, if i disown my pastor and my personal credibility and bend over backwards to appease the narrow minded.” i would have liked to see Obama in the oval office but, now more than ever i think it is increasingly unlikely.
