He does say that, but why harp on it.

It is the McCain followers that are making these remarks.  Obama is better off to ignore the ignorant at least during this campaign.  Racism should not be tolerated in any form at all in this day and age.  A person is a person.  End of story. 

I highly doubt there will be any form of mass destruction over a presidential candidate.  Sure, there'll be people who are mad, but you know everything must go through Congress anyway.  Of course Obama cannot fix everything overnight, but he can try to make the USA a better place.  If these marxist remarks were true, he wouldn't be in the position to become the President.  I think that people don't want change, they want more of the same because no one wants to believe that Obama's heart is in this election.  They just want to believe that he's a "bad thing" because he's a democrat and because he's young, and they want more of the old style where the rich get richer and the poor get forgotten about. 

I'm all for helping people.  I wouldn't be in this profession if I wasn't. 

The fly in the ointment is the man is half black and half white.  So, how is he black?  Why is he not considered white?  Tell me, I'd like to know.
