Which Way Should Obama Go? ..To the Condi/Colin Wing or Repugs or to Rev. Wright's View? |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 06:02 PM by KoKo01
Reverend Wright's view is close to Howard Zinn's view of how American had enslaved and corrupted..Native Americans and African-Americans as we marched towards CONSUMERISM. SO...it's hard for Average Americans to understand or make up their minds based on what's going on.......Isn't It?
I just know I don't want any Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas or Colin Powell....EVER SPEAKING FOR "ME" as a Lefty......WHITE AMERICAN ...EVER...EVER...EVER...AGAIN!
GOT IT? Rev. Wright's CHURCH and OBAMA are probably the CLOSEST TO LEFTY DEMS ...we will EVER GET!
I'm PISSED..ANGRY...and I'm one of those NC Dem Voters that MY PARTY...WANTS! So....do I want Condi, Clarence, Colin or "Barack Obama" who was tutored by a Pastor who has MY VIEWS.. .....Howard Zinn.
It's a real hard problem for many of us "fence sitters" who are angry that our Dems decided to make RACE/GENDER the most important for our Dem Candidates running and NOT...BUSH/McCAIN! But..it is what it is with the OP'S involved having to make their $$$$BIG DOLLARS...and it's part of it all..
But what the hell...isn't OBAMA looking better every day? :shrug: I'm an uncommitted and as long as Obama doesn't start joining with "Condi and Colin" and rejects them...I can be cool.......
:shrug:

2. Obama is walking a fine line |
|
His most recent speech seems to address the concerns of his adversaries more than anything, but those people will not be supporting him anyway.
Everything he has done and said, still leads me to believe that he has a thoughtful, contrary to conventional wisdom approach to all challenges and issues. That is exactly the kind of person we need to lead the country forward to work towards solving our problems as well as set a whole new tone for the future of politics.

in this ............. I'm still watching and waiting until next Tuesday here in NC...and my vote doesn't count for shit (although I'm a defunce Precinct VC) in the process...but Obama...watching him confront all that's "thrown against him...sort of comes off good..better than Hillary) because she is YET to have the "Monica Pic's thrown against HER ..24/7 because Repugs are just "waiting like junk yard dogs on Mega Collars to go after Hillary...before they throw OBAMA under the bus.
Just saying...Hillary get's some "free pass" while they do the "ILL" on OBAMA...
We will see how it all sorts out.

6. I've come to see him through all this..as more "thoughtful" than I would have imagined... |
|
and as an "undecided" that was interesting to me. As this moves forward through the Wright Flap...I'm seeing more and more that I like about Obama....as an "undecided Dem." Just saying.
He's proving he's a much better candidate than I thought he would be and there are many like me who probably are noticing this. :shrug: Who knows if this will give him a big BUMP in NC...but to have undecideds like me in NC warming up to him...is not a bad thing.

the Repugs have their "dreams of Reagan's Legacy" built on.
The "McCorporate Media" is "hacking away" at Obama's SOUL...to make him into Rice, Powell and Thomas!
An "Uncle TOM"...a Betrayor of all he stands for that all Liberal Lefties have their hopes pinned on.
Don't you SEE WHAT THEY DO????
