So in reality the media is telling us that,,,
people will not vote for Obama because he said they may be angry or bitter about their guns and religion are people really this silly and stupid. We are seeing that in reality some are really making excuses because he is black they are not that serious about something that simple, these issues aren't really that serious do some people really base their votes on something this simple? especially when it is the truth.

It doesn't matter whatever the issue Obama has to apologize a thousand times and he also has to make a speech and then after he makes it the media acts as if they don't understand.He gives clear examples about what he said and what it meant but it won't matter no matter what he says. Some whites will do anything to not vote for someone black and some let the media tell them how to think about issues that are affecting their lives and that they are living everyday.

I have never seen media harp on a candidates words like they do for Obama and in reality the republicons Rove and Hillary are the ringleaders.They are really dancing around the real issue and its all about race, and the republicons are keeping it going and some Dems are going along with it, do they really think that they won't do this to Hillary, if she wins I don't feel anything for her so I will not be doing anything to help her as I have heard many others say,when you fight against another Dem like this " you are on your own" she doesn't give a damn about us its about her winning..

I would be silly of me to say that I will not vote for a white person since I see that this is the only choice that we seem to be getting in this country. In the beginning I was for Hillary until many things began to happen and I realized that she thought that we were stupid and would believe anything and I saw how she would do anything to win even taking down another Dem.

I took up for her in the beginning when I saw how the media was beating up on her. I watched as the media beat up on her until they realized that obama was getting traction and I still stuck with her but as this campaign has gone on I have watched and listened to obama and his message I began to see the differences in their messages.

No I am not some cult member and no I am not voting for him because he is black, I got very angry when I thought some were voting for him because he is black and thought I should do the same but I began to listen to his message and realized that he was different than Hillary and not because of skin color or gender. I realized that his campaign is about WE THE PEOPLE and Hillary's is about the same old politics and the same people playing the same games.

No matter what Obama says it will never be enough
Hillary can laugh it off and the media just lets it go. I may sound stupid but she has begun to really make me dislike her and I switch day by day on if I will vote or not if she is the candidate. I don't think that she realizes that she has turned off a lot of her former supporters. In reality, Obama is fighting Hillary,RepubliCONS and the media,and he is still standing and winning, and some are telling us that he is not a fighter whatever he does it won't be enough for some people because they are stuck to the same game that is being played each election cycle, you would think that they would know the difference by now...

3. Just call her MoleHillary.
This crap means absolutely nothing, yet her campaign is doing McCain's work for him. Stick a label on somebody, take remarks out of context and oversimplify them, give the MSM mental midgets something to gnaw on and presto! You have a non-issue issue. Meanwhile, Iraq is still a mess, people are still losing their homes and jobs, but Hillary is losing the nomination so she'll do a Tanya Harding on Obama by taking her little bitty molehills and calling them mountains. I never thought I'd see a Democrat sink so low.

4. Some people will continue to find fault with Sen. Obama, and cannot
or will not honestly explain why. I know exactly how you feel.

Try to remain strong and positive.



Peace:thumbsup:

5. They don't seem to understand that...
what we are fighting against, haven't they woken up over the past few years..I understand that some on this board are newbies who haven't been paying attention to what has been going on until recently. For those who don't this is the same old RepubliCON play book, they pit the people against each other on issues that really don't effect us on a daily basis and a lot of people fall into their trap,.

6. It's not necessarily a race issue.
Look at Kerry and swiftboating and also his the bad joke. And before Kerry is was Dean. I don't think the apologizing is the reason why Obama stays high in the polls. But they seem to pretend it is. For example he didn't and shouldn't apologize for the bitter comment and his polls are still up there. So any apologize wouldn't be what would save him.

Do you really believe MSM is giving him the break because he apologized? No, it's not MSM it's that MSM knows the issue isn't hurting him before an apology. It's all of us. And maybe people are saying we have had enough of MSM.
