Are Americans Too Racist to Vote for Barack Obama for President?

forget race and look at age

Seriously, I could give a damn about his race. I mean even in the army I learned that everyone is equal and if you didn't believe in that, then defending your country was the least of your issues. But let's look at age. To be honest, anyone who is involved in politics should have to retire at 65 no matter what. I wouldn't even vote for myself or family at that age. People are too stuck in their ways and cannot accept change or anyone's opinion other then their own. Sure they will say anything to appease you or the public but that's because they have learned the fine art of "Smile and Nod". If you can't see past the facade there is something wrong with this country. When an old man or woman is in charge, I am frankly scared. On top of that, McCain was a P.O.W. Now it may be my military background but if you got caught, you were a poor soldier, and he was there for years. That would make anyone a little off their game. I really think the issue here is mental stability in our president and how well they can react when something doesn't go their way. Obama has been through that many times. McCain only had a few bouts with it and I honestly think that with his hatred of his captors makes for him to be a closed minded individual. I will vote for a person, not an old brick.

John McCain and Palin are a joke

Alright, in my honest opinion the whole Republican side of this Presidential run is a joke to me. John McCain is to old and Sarah Palin is the most clueless person I have ever seen in politics. I still don't understand why John even picked her. Now at this point it may seem obvious that I'm in favor of the Obama-Biden campaign only because they make sense. During the vice-presidential debate I was completely open to accepting the Mccain-Palin ideas, and was really trying to have an open mind about what they wanted to do. But in the end I was very disappointed. Palin has no confidence and avoids all direct tough qustions, and Biden just makes sense when he talks. The same thing goes for Obama, he just makes sense. McCain, all I can really say is that I am not excited about having another old white republican in office again, when the last one did a terrible job. I'm ready for a black president. I'm sick of the old white man have control over things cause at this point in our economy-THE OLD WHITE GUY FAILED MISERABLY. This post is not being submitted to try to bash a party (but then again maybe it is). ALL I CAN SAY IS VOTE FOR THE PARTY THAT MAKES SENSE-AND THE PAST DOES AFFECT THE FURTURE OF EVERYONE. SO DONT JUST VOTE FOR THE PATHETIC MCCAIN-PALIN CAMPAIGN JUST CAUSE YOUR REPUBLICAN-VOTE FOR THE PARTY THAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE. (common sense)

I am sorry for the racist people

OBAMA WILL MAKE A VERY HONORABLE PRESIDENT. THIS MAN HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT HE IS A PERSON WITH VALUES AND GREAT MORALS. OBAMA IS A MAN THAT

IS FAIR AND HE REASONS WITH REALITY.

McCAIN IS SO JELOUS OF OBAMA'S ETHICS AND DOWN TO EARTH BEHAVIOR.

YES, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAN NOT ACCEPT OBAMA ONLY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. THOSE ARE THE VERY IGNORANT PEOPLE THAT FEEL GIFTED ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE.

GOD LOVE ALL OF US EQUALLY. THOSE RACIST PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN BY GOD.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE ARE ALL GOING TO RESPECT AND ACCEPT OUR NEW PRESIDENT "OBAMA".

WITH OUR HELP OBAMA CAN MAKE GREAT CHANGES TO OUR COUNTRY.

RESPECTFULLY,

GORDON

A HARD WORKING MAN THAT HAPPENS TO BE A WHITE MAN BUT LOVE AND RESPECTS ALL THE RACES OF THE WORLD.

racist america

This is a vast majority white racist country,there is no way that obama stand any chance of ever getting elected, if obama can win the presidency from a country that that is super racist for the most part from jobs to housing police harassement or beatings. saying that obama can be president is the same as saying that a jew can be germany prime minister one day. Mark my words No blacks,jews,hispanics,asians or gays will never be president of this overly white for the most part racist nation, if i was a black,jew,hispanic,gay or asian i will leave this country fast because there is no hope for them here,jews may control parts of the economy remember they use to control the economy in germany too and look what happens to them.Minorities are born on the loosing side.

Americans are rasist

It's more than 3 in 10 here in a good ol Tulsa, OK. I am dismayed as to the number of people from ordinary co-workers to business owners who openly admit that they will not vote for Obama simply because he is black, (and that's putting it nicely).

I am a 56 year old professional white male and the amount of racism that I am surronded by on a daily basis is sickening. I hope my grandchildren will know a kindler, gentler nation than what I have.

IT'S NOT ABOUT RACE!!!

It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Obama is black I could care less about that. For one his lack of experience, and until he started running for President I never even heard of this man. And two what do we really know about him and what about his muslim ties? I am not sure what it is, but there is something about this man, its like he has many people mismerized. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I don't trust him. I think he is not ready to be president, it would be a huge mistake for Obama to become President. And his wife she is very arrogant and I feel a racists. And she had no business making that speech. She needs to support him, but stay in the back ground and keep her mouth shut.

HE IS A RACIST!!!

Obama is a racist. He does everything he can to improve the lives of black people. I think he should work for everyone - regardless of race. GET RID OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO START!!!! Race should never be an issue on anything. Just look at everything he did in Chicago - nothing at all for all races. Everything for African Americans.

20 years with a racist pastor and he insists he didn't know??? Give me a break!
