politicsareevil, i was wondering where youve been! great add on! while i partly disagree with the statement that people are only voting for him because he's black (although some black folk are under the false impression that this is some sort of liberation by obama being nominated) I agree with you that we need to scrutinize this guy. now that there are mainly 2 front runners, i can be more desicive. hillary was distracting alot of people. Obama is an intelligent guy as are teh rest of the canidates, but what worries me most is that there are outsiders attempting to make mountains out of molehills for the specific intent to distract voters from REAL issues. thanks for bringing to light some of his faults, because alot of people are just blindly following whoever is leading their chosen party. its a shame...im beginning to think the brits are right about american intelligence

BTW...ron paul for vp or colin powell!

Well I will say thanks to you too for being so kind to my words. By me saying people are only voting for him because he is Black, I do not mean all people.... but I do mean the people who say this is amazing electing a black man... it is great to me that color (obviously) is not holding him back. I too am proud of him for coming so far. I will admit just so everyone knows. I AM WHITE... Irish/Italian/German/Norwegian..... I'm about as white as they come.... that being said I dont want my comments to be taken as racist. BUT... If I were black, I would want to make sure the "first" black party nominee/president would represent my demographic well. As much as I hope that people dont vote for him "because" he is black, it will be very crucial for him to be a great leader because they will be a lot of scrutiny against him because he is a far cry from what we are used to. The sad part is there are a lot of racist people in this country. There are black people racist against white people who will vote for Obama simply for the reason that he is black and they can now stick it to whitey. Conversely, there are a lot of racist white people who will be waiting to attack and say i told you so at his every mistake. This will be a weird election and I hope it all goes well. But I see a lot of criticism for either party coming hard either way the election falls.

Let this be a warning for everyone.... in the time of our next president:

The war will be in shambles... Lives will be lost.
The economy will be broken
The dollar will still be losing value.
The gas prices will still go up.

We will still survive.

We are America, a nation of diverse and strong people. No matter what color person is elected we must all support our president for the betterment of our nation as a whole. If you do not like a policy or action that is made... speak up. Call your congressman... Make your voice heard. We are in a time of divide before the election. We need to work together after the election. Without unity of the two parties none of my afformentioned items will get better... They can not fix themselves. We need to let our policy makers know BEFORE THE ELECTION that we want our economy to strengthen, we want our energy independance, and we want to STOP being so DAM worried about how the rest of the world likes us. Quit selling this country off to other nations and lets try and build our economy back up as ONE nation... Not two feudal parties...
