But the "Obama Garbage Fest" is still going a couple of years after it started.

No. Pretty much everything "out there" now has been "out there" for a long long time... but the media hasn't reported on every half truth and garbage rumor as if it was real news.


Is Obama a Muslim? Nobody believes that, because we all know he's a member of the First Church of God Damn America (a Christian denomination).

Everything else - from Ayres, to his associations with assorted pieces of scum like Rezko, Auchi, Farakkhan, Ayres, Odinga.... that's not "made up" stuff. It's all well documented, but ignored.

If Obama were Colin Powell, nobody would question his patriotism. Powell was once the highest rated and most admired American politician. If Obama weren't such a hedging, mealy-mouthed twerp who ALWAYS sounds like a lawyer speaking out of both sides of his mouth...... people might not have such a visceral response to him.

I'm not voting for Obama but I would certainly have a beer with him. Heck, if he does become President, I actually hope I vote for him the 2nd time. That would mean he did a pretty good job.

Regardless of who wins, they get a clean slate in my book and I hope they become the best President ever.

As for blacks voting for Obama, well, 90% of blacks are Democrats so it would make sense. I don't think it's really racism. In fact, I was surprised at the reception McCain got speaking at the NAACP a few weeks ago. At least they listened to him even though they are voting for Obama.

Nonetheless, are youa ctually trying to argue, with a straight face, that anyone who WOULD NOT vote for a Muslim... was going to vote Democratic in the first place? That if it were John Edwards, he'd get that 10% who a) think Obama is a Muslim, and b) wouldn't vote for him because he's a Muslim?

Most people aren't using things to besmirch Obama.
The average voter believes these things because of Obama's shady past, shady associations and past lies by the spinmaster himself. If Obama wants people to not believe these things, he has to work much harder to clean up his pathetic reputation (ie: lie even more).

Obama is a sham and everyone knew it from the start.

Now this is a clear cut racist post. This should be deleted. You should know more than the lies you type.

That's your motivation for being here, to spread your hate and lies towards African Americans.

Fake, phony, and weak are a few words that come to mind when I read over your posts, eating African American's food, but despising them as a people. If you were face to face with an African American having this discussion, I'm sure you would be extremely subtle and probably polite.

I comprehend well.

Why are some Caucasian white men and women intimidated by the fact or possibility that a African American man (OBAMA) may become president ?

There is a "present" vote in the IL state senate. That is how Obama voted almost every single time (131+ "present votes").

When you are President, you cannot vote "present". It is "yes or no". And you only have a few mins to make terrorism/national defense decisions. You cannot give a 1h speech and blab for hours on a simple matter.

Obama is un-qualified. This is well established by now.

Just can't break through your myopic black and white worldview, can you? #1, as if "white people" can POSSIBLY be intimidated by the effete and okie-doking Obama, and #2, as if racism only exists amongst "white caucasion people."

Get out and travel sometime. Mix with some people of different backgrounds.
