I did not vote for Obama but he did a great thing yesterday giving that eulogy. My heart breaks everytime I see the unbelievable pain and anguish in the faces of the loves ones who have buried the victims.
This was a horrific mass murder with the ONLY motivation as racism. Please, STOP IT!
Again, most(all?) of us are not mocking this tragedy to any degree. However, many of us question too what degree this was done to score political points. And this questioning applies to ANY politician.
Specifically for Obama, one has to question.....how often does he go to the funerals of poor children who are gunned down in the inner cities by all the violence that exists there, especially in Chicago where he is from? Are their lives less important and aren't they worthy of him speaking on a long nationwide televised event, even once, at one of their funerals to highlight the serious issue of ongoing violence going on in the inner cities and the horrific deaths many there met? How about him going to the funerals of fallen police officers and televising such events to highlight the danger/risks everyday police officers face?
I know if I was in such a position of authority, I'd find it worth taking a few days off of the golf here and there to do such a thing as I feel it would be the right thing to do and show a little more sincerity.
As I understand it, a black man or woman cannot be a racist so .. what is your definition of a black man who criticizes another black?
Don't bother answering .. I've heard all of the definitions!
my point is we can see right though you, trying to be rational is not something you can pull off. "don't bother answering" why would I? most people with closed minds don't want to be bothered with the truth it doesn't jive with their skewed view of the world.

you sound like you are describing an object not a person.
