Obama's In
No surprises here:
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois jumped into the 2008 White House race on Tuesday, promising to bring Americans together and "change our politics" with a campaign that could make him the first black president in U.S. history.
The Reuters article goes on to discuss whether or not America is ready for a black president, and Obama's "unusual personal history," as in having a white mother from Kansas and a black father from Kenya, yada yada yada. (I have NEVER heard of such a thing, have you?)
I am so sick of people wondering whether or not America is ready for a black president. We have blacks in Congress. We have blacks in the highest places of our government. Blacks can do anything they want to if they work hard enough, just like whites. Why isn't anyone wondering if Britain is ready for a black prime minister? We claim to be beyond these things, and then the so-called progressive press has to pop it into the debate.
Obama should be judged on his merits, not his skin color. I have plenty of issue with his qualifications, but color is not one of them. Please, let's stick to the issues and leave the race card at home.
It will be interesting to see if this official announcement prompts Hillary Clinton into finally admitting she's planning a run for office. And when she does, be prepared for the "is America ready for a woman in the White House?" question. As I said above with Obama, candidates should be judged solely on qualifications. Again, I have plenty of problems with Hillary. But let's leave that sex card at home with the race card, hmmm?

Looks like the dems are going to hold the race and gender issues over our heads. If you vote against either you will be labeled a racist or a woman hater. Are you going to sell "Sorry Charlie" t-shirts?

Posted by: Pam at January 16, 2007 01:23 PMOf course, the Dems will demagogue everyone else about whether or not "America is ready for a black President," but if someone brought up the issue of race as part of his qualifications, they'd be all over it with calls of racism.
I agree with you, leave race outta this. I could care less what color or gender someone is. I want a strong leader in the White House who will lead our country with dignity, integrity, and a vision to restore America to her former greatness.
Posted by: reverse_vampyr at January 16, 2007 01:38 PMLet's face it, Democrats always use "Race" as a tactic. The very fact that these news agancies are reporting that Obama could be the first black president is telling me how they put race over qualifications. I think it's demeaning to the black community...
Posted by: Joe at January 17, 2007 07:27 AMObama does score a few points with whites because he was born to, and raised by, a white mother, has demonstrated that he is very smart, etc. But there is no way in hell most whites will vote for him, although many will decline to say so in public.
There are fewer objections to a woman among male voters, and no objection at all among female voters. Which is why Hillary Clinton is so far ahead in the polls, although she has no executive experience, few foreign policy credentials, and not so much as a single publication of significant intellectual value to her credit.

Posted by: bionaire steam mop at January 31, 2012 02:10 AMyou are actually a just right webmaster. The website loading velocity is amazing. It sort of feels that you are doing any distinctive trick. Also, The contents are masterpiece. you have performed a great activity in this matter!
Posted by: Shayne Gnabah at February 3, 2012 06:48 PMI have viewed that intelligent real estate agents everywhere you go are getting set to FSBO Marketing and advertising. They are seeing that it's more than just placing a sign in the front yard. It's really concerning building relationships with these dealers who at some point will become buyers. So, if you give your time and energy to helping these retailers go it alone -- the "Law involving Reciprocity" kicks in. Good blog post.
Posted by: Colton Schweitz at February 17, 2012 12:49 AMWhoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
Posted by: Mitchel Granto at February 17, 2012 10:21 AMI have really noticed that credit repair activity really needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, you are going to find yourself destroying your positioning. In order to be successful in fixing your credit ranking you have to see to it that from this second you pay all your monthly fees promptly in advance of their planned date. It is definitely significant simply because by not necessarily accomplishing this, all other steps that you will take to improve your credit ranking will not be successful. Thanks for giving your suggestions.
