These are unfortunate comments from a person who has badly misinterpreted what happened during the last presidential election. Instead, look at the news about the Obama campaign's unique organization and use of the Internet, the emphases of his policies, etc.
What were his policies?
Obama ran a good campaign because all he had to do was keep his mouth shut, the media did the rest.
No, that's a load of BS.
He's our President because he had the best organized campaign, lots of folks liked his ideas, and he was the most inspiring and convincing speaker.
Of course YOU will still think it's because he Black - which CLEARLY must be the case. After all, Jesse Jackson is Black he's had soooooooooooooo much success as a Presidential candidate.

If Barack Obama had been a white junior senator from Illinois named Barry O'Banion and he had had the exact same experience, intonation, carriage, education, eloquence and "ideas" that Barack Obama had, he would not have been on the top 500 list of presidential candidates for the 2008 election, let alone won it!

You must not be a good listener, Tom. Or you don't use the internet much outside of this forum.... BOTH candidates had internet sites up describing their policies. Where the heck were you during the campaign?
McCain didn't trust himself enough to choose a qualified veep. He chose Caribou Barbie, and whether she wants to admit it or not, she helped cost him the election.

If you don't know what were Obama's policy statements made during the Presidential campaign, I think that your standing to comment about his being elected to office is quite diminished.
Naval records and accounts from other sailors contradicted almost every claim they made, and some members of the group who had earlier praised Mr. Kerry's heroism contradicted themselves.
Quote:
Mr. Kerry's defenders have received help from unlikely sources, including some who were originally aligned with the Swift boat group but later objected to its accusations against Mr. Kerry. One of them, Steve Hayes, was an early member of the group. A former sailor, he was a longtime friend and employee of William Franke, one of the group's founders, and he supported the push to have Mr. Kerry release his military files. But Mr. Hayes came to believe that the group was twisting Mr. Kerry's record.
"The mantra was just 'We want to set the record straight,' " Mr. Hayes said this month. "It became clear to me that it was morphing from an organization to set the record straight into a highly political vendetta. They knew it was not the truth."
Mr. Hayes broke with the group, ending a 35-year friendship with Mr. Franke, and voted for Mr. Kerry. He has provided a long interview to Mr. Kerry's supporters, backing their version of the incident for which Mr. Kerry received the Bronze Star.
