It wouldn't make sense, there just wouldn't be the hype about Obama if he wasn't black, he would just be another Edwards.

And if he were white, he wouldn't even be here because Hillary would have won the primaries.

Because Obama was black, he got 97% of the black vote.

Has he been white, they would have split the black vote 50-50. If they would have split the black vote, Hillary would have easily beat Obama. But because Obama was black, all the black votes went to him giving him the nomination.

OH YES I'm talking about them! It is SOOO easy for you to hate the poor and LIE(which I've seen you do so much) about what the poor think or do.

You THINK they have it so easy yet it's a FACT that silver-spoon babies like McCain and babybushy have had everything handed to them and have no reason to complain...the poor aren't on a level playing field and then when they DO get ahead you whine about THAT...YUPPERS...a BLACK GUY WHO IS SO MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN YOU..


.....that's REALLY the problem isn't it ???

They can succeed just as anyone else can. From the poor to the upper middle class, the key to success is working hard through school and going to college. Everyone has to do that.

Its their fault that they have no success. Did they finish high school? No. Well, they need to take personal accountability. Too often I hear "well the rich get everything" and "my life is so hard" when your destiny is completely in your hands. Using the race or the poverty card is no excuse because everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.



And McCain did not grow up wealthy. He lived on international bases being torn from his friends, family, and parents his whole life. He had to work for his success. Yea, I know so many spoiled rotten kids who risk their life for their country.
