What is wrong with having a black President?

I cannot understand what the big concern about having a black President is? Are you afraid, that the President motorcades will be all pimped up Black SUV and the entire cabinet and the President with have large gold changes hanging around their neck with a large O for Obama chunk of jewelry attached. Come on get a grip and quite watching so much TV.

We trust our children to be raised, educated and influenced by African American teachers, athletes and celebrities. Teachers, athletes and celebrities such as musicians and movie icons effect the way your children, and all of us adults, think and act more than anything else and especially more than politicians. Think about how many adults and children wear the numbers of their favorite athletes or buy the golf clubs of their favorite golfer. I am sorry but do your children want to buy the same sneaker that President Bush wears. Do your teenage girls want to wear the same makeup that Hillary uses?

Now let’s take all the demographics and polling information that has been churning out of the newspapers hour after hour. Is there nothing else to write about in this world but information on the next set of polls and political numbers? Come on. We have had enough.

The numbers I read today were talking about how Clinton captured 63 percent of the white vote, while Obama gained 90 percent of the much smaller black vote. Let’s look at these figures from a different perspective. Obama got 90% of the black vote and only 10% of blacks’ voted. Imagine if 20% or 30% of the blacks voted. Obama would have won Pennsylvania by a landslide. Obama also won 37% of the white vote.

I pose a question. Is Senator McCain going to get more of the black vote than 90%? I doubt it. Better asked, do you think Senator Clinton is going to get more than 90% of the vote? No because she hasn’t. The point is not how well Obama does in the primaries. He has won most of them. It is who is going to beat the GOP candidate. I would rather have someone who has locked in the black vote, then someone who has to win over the black vote. Obama only has to win over 14% more of the white voters and that in not again Clinton but against McCain. He will do fine.

I also don’t buy the polls that say 4 out of 10 who voted for Obama will not vote for Clinton and vice versa. Of course they are going to answer it that way, now in the primaries. But when the real election comes around it will be different. When the option is no longer two different candidates for the Democratic ticket, but Democrats against Republican then it WILL be different.

In closing, I must address one more “Clintonism” that needs pointing out. Hillary has been constantly saying “We have had enough talking, we need someone who is doing something.” Senator Clinton I hate to break it to you but that is all you are doing is talking and talking and talking. I don’t see you out there doing anything more than Obama or McCain. So please quit saying you are a person of action. The only action I see from you is a constant metamorphosis from one person to another depending on what state you are campaigning in.

And come on with the middle class roots. If news agencies want something to write about why don’t you do a little research on these so called middle class roots of Hillary Clinton? I am sure if you compare her life to real middle class people who like myself as a child lived within a family that struggled to pay bills and cloth their family, you will find out she struggled for nothing. And all of those good hearted people who have believed her story will find out they have been played all this time. Check it out after all the press has completely checked into Obama’s past.

In fact, I am surprise they have not listed whether or not Obama was breast feed and how that will affect him being a black President. Or taken a poll of how many white people and black people who were breast fed voted for Obama or Clinton.

Oh and by the way I am white, I was breast feed, I came from a lower middle class family. I wore shoes that had holes in them until my family could buy new ones. My father made $250 per week his entire life. My mother died when I was a child. I could not get a grant for college because my father made too much money a year. Not enough to take care of our family so he had to work two jobs all of his life but he made too much for me to get a grant. That is what middle class gets you. So I worked 5 and 6 days a week to pay for my college education. Hillary I lived and breathed middle class, you did not.

Okay I got that out.
