Barack Obama and John McCain Through the Looking Glass—Racism at Work?
Reader Comments
whatever
yeah im sure it would've went well if the family would of been in walmart clothes. we'd have never heard the end of that. just because the obama s are already RICH and can buy their whole family anything oh well.
as for low info or i'll go so far as to say stupid--when you ask folks on the street why obama they have NO CLUE!--reviiew the howard stern tapes or the talk show host cuyahogo co ohio.
Election 2008 - What White Women Want
I think this addresses the issue:
Check out “Election 2008 - What White Women Want”, a new investigation by Dolly Deadline at http://www.whatwhitewomenwant.com/
White women are expected to play a crucial and possibly determining role in the election. Dolly explores this new media phenomenon by interviewing an ‘assortment’ from this group and inviting them to blog about their concerns and hopes for our troubled country.

harvard
Gosh Harvard really. In my seemingly meaningless middle class life, the people who I respect most certainly did not come from Harvard. Just the other night Obama living in his million dollar home was describing how he was just like me. Well my kids will never be able to afford Harvard. Thank God.
I will vote for someone who actually made a decision in his life and had to be held responsible for that decision good or bad. Obama has never been in a postion of responsiblility. "Not present" is not a really good answer for a president.
Poliical Journey
Why would a citizen, other than a white person, desire to become president of this country is beyond my imagination. Perhaps my opinion is based on my eight decades plus having been born and observed what life has been here. Perhaps Senator Barack Obama has a dream that drives him on. I pray daily for his safety and success to his amazing journey

Ponder the following:
What if McCain spent 20 years going to a church where a white pastor spewed hatred of blacks?
Education does Matter
You are absolutely right. Shouldn't education matter???? I think it should. I am a white 60 year old middle-class grandmother who is very very proud of the Obama family. They are an inspiration and would serve our country well by representing us in dignified way, people we can be proud of who know how to make a speech and are familiar with the English language.
And all the other things you mentioned are so true. Yes, racism is alive and well in this election. If any of those things were on the side of Obama, he would be ridiculed beyond belief. Can't you just see those blacks having all those children and there is that daughter pregnant out of wedlock, oh yes, the whispers and gossip would be rampant.
Good analogy.
Sad state of how things are
I just received a text from my husband, he's an IT professional with a small business that contracts to a very large company. Here's what it says:
Hey babe, here's something to wrap your brain around. Yesterday evening a man whose new computer I had just finished setting up last week, killed himself. They found him hung in his living room. He had been laid off yesterday after 12 years of service, he was 50. His wife died of cancer last year. He lost most of his 401 K, and he was ill from the harsh chemicals that they are exposed to here. Benefits here are a joke. The real sick thing is that today, the very man who laid him off ordered a brand new Apple monitor, and Aeron Miller chair, and a very expensive new wireless mouse/keyboard. Never have I wanted to hurt someone so much in all of my life. There is such corporate greed and wasting of money in this company, and these layoffs could have been avoided if those self-entitled pr*cks had some oversight. That will never happen though, because the law protects the bottom line of the corporation's profit. It's more important than the guy who spent day after day putting his life on the line for this undeserving piece of crap corporation. Now my job is to clear out his pc. I want to puke and quit, but if I did we'd stand no chance. It's hard to take working for people like this, and I can't wait for the day when I can look this as*hole in the face and tell him what a c*ck he really is. All of the upper management here is like that. They get rich, yell about profits, but when someone does a great job..who gives a rat's ass?
That's what's wrong with this country, there's no accountability for horrible acts of employer greed. It's perfectly legal. I'm just stunned, but I should not be that surprised.
Palins waredrobe is nothing compared to the "guys" and what they spend. Lets see baraks and Bidens numbers befroe you whine vp. As for comparison, lets turn around the experience and the see if Barak would even be considered. What if a WHITE senator with less than two years in senate and most of that spent campaining, were running for president again man with more experience that Barak can spend time reading? The guy would get past primaries. But because he's black, has muslem ties, liberal and wants to raise yoru taxes, you swoon over him.
Idiots.
Racism? What about Sexism?
Do women not matter anymore? Is that the line from the liberals now? Now its "just because of her bad policies" that people dislike Palin, but if a white male says that about Obama then he is a racist. It makes no sense to me...
But what do I know I live in PA where our own elected officials say we are racist rednecks, (which is why Lynn Swan didn't get elected right?) and a certain Presidential candidate says we "cling to out guns and religion with an antipathy towards those who are not like us". Sense when is that the centralist compassionate answer?
Lets ask Louis Farrakhan who should be elected president. Lets ask Tony Rezko. Lets ask Hamas (one of their top advisors just endorsed Obama). It is uncanny the way this man has attracted all the wrong type of attention.
