How great is it that we can have an incredibly talented man go this far in the election despite the fact that his race alone use to ban him to the back of the bus and seperate rest rooms in the past.
I left the US because it has become such an uhhappy place..perhaps he can refurish the country with a new sense of pride. As you know, in the past , when you traveled it was really cool to be an American. Now many pretend they are Canadian!
We need young new ideas..Mc Cains ok if there were no other choice.......... |
Do a little research on Barry O and you'll find contrary to the popular buzz Barry O is old style south Chicago politics in all it's nebulous glory. He's a typical vacillating tax and spend liberal democrat who has gotten to where he is largely because he is black. Americans want a black President unfortunately Barry O isn't the best choice out there amongst the many talented african american leaders out there.
His only real accomplishments that I can see are some community organizing in Chicago and some asbestos removal deal. He made an elegant speech at the DNC in 2004 and he's been riding that wave ever since. Really there's very little to go on.
Geraldine Ferraro summed it up and got severely spanked as a result.
