[Eye Candy]

His father was Muslim, but he professes to be Christian, and has attended a christian church (Trinity Church in Chicago) for 20 years.

Unfortunately, his pastor (Reverend Wright) has been exposed recently to have voiced on numerous occasions opinions that can only be described as promoting hate between blacks and whites. Obama claims to be clueless about these remarks, a position that passes neither the laugh test nor the sniff test. When one views the videos of his pastor's rants, it is obvious that Wright is a racist (see Ivan 1's thread on this). His passionate distrust of Caucasions is horrific, even claiming the US government developed the AIDs virus to decimate the black population. Strange, I thought it was gay white guys that suffered initially. Wright's comments certainly weren't wasted on Obama's wife, Michelle. The anti-white, anti-government diatribes seem to put her recent comment that she had never been proud of America until recently into context. Afterall, we are just a country full of and led by white racist supremacist murderers, at least according to pastor Wright.

We are in the midst of historic events. Sadly, they will cause rank and file white folks to distrust black politicians for years to come.

And I have lost all respect for Obama after hearing him defend Wright. I really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, as he is quite likable. Far right conservatives can't stand McCain, a war hero who was hung for hours at a time from his broken arms during his initial POW stint that lasted five years after his plane was shot down and crash landed in a lake in downtown Hanoi. Seems like a few Democrats would at least consider him. The locals beat the living crap out of him in addition to his broken arms and broken knee from the crash, and stabbed him with a bayonet. He didn't receive any medical treatment for 9 days. At one point he was offered early release as his father was an admiral in the Navy, a release he declined as it violated his code of ethics "first captured, first released". He spent several more years in solitary confinement.

He may be old and a little crusty, but he appears to be the best America has to offer. Certainly, he is a man of character by any standard. Obama, not so much.

Even the "full of heart" college people think Hillary is artificial. But she is a better choice than the ultra liberal "what the hell were we thinking?" Obama. Over the last six months I have heard more complaining from my patients about finances than I have heard in 20 years. Now is not the time to raise taxes and further the welfare state. In fact, many people need to get off their lazy asses and pull their own weight or our children will suffer for decades to come.
