I don't care what color he is. Color has nothing to do with readiness for the job or the history of his associations, how he rose through the Chicago political machine so fast...there is a lot I distrust about Obama, but none of it has to do with his color. You don't know Obama either, ignore all the red flags and defend him also...I find that kind of weird as well.
Obama is far left socialist, way too far left for me. I don't think that is the change this country needs. I think McCain and Palin are the change it needs. Until someone stops the stalemate in Washington and tries to get the two sides working together...nothing is going to fix the problems which re-surface under EVERY administration.
That being said, you should vote for who you feel is best suited for the job. That is what we all should do.

I'm curious about your use of the term 'Black Power'
You seem to think that just because someone's black they're instantly for Obama. And that if he loses we'll riot in the streets and there will be 'blood shed.' Why? Because you think we're a bunch of crazed malcontents who can't stand to have our way? Now your real prejudice comes out. Interesting.
I am always skeptical of a post that says...
"A McCain adviser said..." He named everyone else in this article. Puhleeze. Rove and McCain have no use for each other. Have you paid any attention to the last 2 years or so? Sure he gave to McCain's campaign....he is a Republican. He probably did it holding his nose. He doesn't want Obama to win. go figure. lol. As far as those who advised Bush...they are RNC people. When Hillary went out of it, some of her staffers went over to Obama. That's politics.
Strongly agree.....I also am very skeptical of the bill, want it slowed down.....sm
This is huge and there are no do-overs if we do not get this bill right, because it is so huge. We need to act, and I understand why the president is so eager to get things going after the past 8 or 9 years, but we must examine everything, and taken everything out that is not truly essential, necessary, and a proven stimulus....take a deep breath, study hard for another week, and GET IT AS RIGHT AS POSSIBLE! The American people need action, but not rash, irresponsible spending, we have had enough of that. I truly believe in the President, his idealism, his altruism, humanitarianism, and intelligence, but HASTE MAKES WASTE, we all have to hang in there a bit longer and really examine the bill under a microscope. Funny, I watched Meet The Press as usual this morning, and don't think I ever agreed more with the Republican side on some things...whaddya know????
Obama admin. skeptical of Iran's election results.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/13/official-obama-administration-skeptical-irans-election-results/
U.S. officials are casting doubt over the results of Iran's election, in which the government declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner Saturday.
U.S. analysts find it "not credible" that challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi would have lost the balloting in his hometown or that a third candidate, Mehdi Karoubi, would have received less than 1 percent of the total vote, a senior U.S. officials told FOX News.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini apparently has released a statement calling the results "final" and hailing the election as a legitimization of the regime and its elections.
Turnout appears to have reached 82 percent, an all-time high. But when asked if the turnout figures should be considered suspect, given the "not credible" counts for Mousavi and Karoubi, the official said: "Oh, it has to be [considered suspect]."
There are already reports of violence outside Mousavi's campaign headquarters, and of huge demonstrations for both sides in central Tehran, with Mousavi trying to make his way to the one in his behalf. Even if widespread violence occurs, analysts see no prospect that this event would lead to a full-scale attempt at revolution or the toppling of the regime.
The dominant view among Obama administration officials, though not uncontested, is that the regime will look so bad as a result of whipping up Iranian hopes for democracy and then squelching them that the regime may feel compelled to show some conciliatory response to President Obama's gestures of engagement.
