Muscatine

Now, now nedl, play nice. 

Fact is, not only is he not qualified to lead this country, his own choice of words reek of  racism to me, intentional or not.  Listen to his words if you don't believe me.   To me he also  shows lack of patriotism by refusing to denounce  his twenty year pastor  who speaks of our great country with such contemptuous and hateful sermons.   To not denounce a hate monger like this,  speaks volumes to me and I am sure to other voters as well.    He scares the daylights out of me.  He's toast! 

Yes, I find it too easy to get fired up against Obama. I had an email friend from Canada. She's black and very liberal. She said "listen closely to his speeches. They say nothing. He's jerking people around".

Ok, my blood pressure is down. No more about Obama for me. Off to happy land.

You should be ashamed, and appauled by such blatant lies. We've all seen that Obama's pastor is a black christian preacher. He was raised by his mother, a free-spirited type who educated her son about all the world's religions, and his typical white grandchildren.

Did anyone pay much attention to the words he said after "typical white woman"? Listen to them and you might understand a lot better.

And Obama's preacher's views have absolutely nothing to do with what Obama thinks. This preacher is a black man who grew up in a time when there were still white only restrooms. When black children were not allowed to go to the same schools as whites. Yes, his opinion of this country may be outdated, but there exists in this country a racial divide that we must bridge. Perhaps his pastor is unable to get past the extreme racism of the past, but we must ensure that we do. If you are an adult you will stop peddling such hatefilled, probably racist, slander.

Obama's speechs don't always say much of substance - but there is a lot of substance there. There are 2 kinds of speechs - motivational rally speeches, and informational speeches. You know, the ones that mention the $1000 tax credit for working families, the free community college for anyone who deserves it, the plan to raise fuel efficiency standards, the plan to make the government more open. You never hear these. And then, why should he laundry-list his points when we ALL have the internet? Visit his website and be immersed in hundreds of pages of nitty-gritty details.
