Exclusive Interview: Becoming Barack Obama

going on with the present

I think before anyone makes any suggestion on what they think. They should give it some thought and look at the change ahead.

Re: Barack Obama's Interview

This is a response to the comments made by Frank of CA, dates June 2, 2008...

Dear Frank;

It's a so obvious that you sir have trouble relating to other cultures. I salute you for your service to our country during WWII, but please be honest with your comment about serving with Blacks. I'm sure you were well aware of the rear guard action the Blacks saw at the start America's entry into WWII, regulated to the most unsavory duties as opposed being on the front lines. Even Pres. Roosevelt couldn't bring himself to desegregate the military. It took his wife to convince him to use Blacks in combat situations. And look at the American Japanese troops who served with honor in European theater, many of whom came from Hawaii. And how many of those Japanese, Portuguese or Italian kids that you attended school with did you call your equal. I too grew up in Hawaii, a state that no state in the Union can say they are a true melting pot. You are surrounded by a wide variety of cultures. You may have passed thru Hawaii during war, but it wasn't to get immersed in different cultures of the islands. My father was a military contract worker during and after war in Hawaii. So I was accustomed being around military familes and I have to tell you, in most cases, not all, they were most prejudiced people I came across. So for you denegrate Barack Obama for being proud of his growing years in Hawaii just goes to your own ignorance of various cultures. If by chance Sen. Obama does become our nation's leader, there will be a change in the way the rest of the world will view these United States of America.

WELL TRAVELED

olemaid of NJ. I'm sorry but I just can't buy that so- called diverse family and experience pitch. I grew up on a tiny little farm, attended school with Portuguese, Japanese and Italians.

I served in the Army in France with Japanese, Blacks, British , and Southern Rednecks. Many of these soldiers were, and I expect still are ignorant.

I passed through Hawaii during WWII, along with thousands of other Veterans.

Perhaps you have some difficulty relating to the people of other cultures and it is easy for you to judge the country by your own experiences.

However, there are millions of Veterans who have served and are presently serving overseas among many other cultures.

And one doesn't need to be a serving Veteran. I'm not the only civilian to travel in Europe and throughout the U.K. enjoying the beer and the Pub Lunches and the Irish (PADDY).

I think that you do us all a disservice.

Senator Obama's Life

Many of the senator's detractors wilfully continue to repeat stories which they know are untrue. Senator Obama, with his ethnically diverse family and experiences among people other than those right here in the contiguous forty-eight states, has more insight into the workings of the world. He can better relate to people of other cultures than most of us can , with our parochial views on life and our absolute ignorance of the rest of the world. He is a breath of needed fresh air.

President Obama

sound nice, doesn't it

lets make it happen and end this culture of deception, corruption and incrementalism
