28. ..or because he's an opportunist?
or because he's the latest establishment puppet.

Nope.

He is running because he is a better person.
More deserving.
Less underdisadvantaged.

5. I cannot support obama because for him to win he had to make
Hillary and Bill Clinton into racist. That is what they did in january and it is a shame he had to do this.

If obama believed any of what he is saying then why did he ever allow the racial divisiness his campaign launched against the Clintons? The fact is that obama can give a good speech and tell folks about the urgency of now but that is all he has done. He doessn't live up to his words, because they are empty bullshit.

6. Sure. He "fooled" Hillary into making Scary Black men a central theme of her campaign.

When you go work for McCain or Joe Lieberman's 3rd party, you should help them come up with more of your "reverse racism" talking points like these to attack the DEM nominee.

7. Didn't they do that on their own?
If someone is so powerful as to put words in the mouth of others, I'd say that person is familiar with wielding power.

Of course, the rest of your post relies on assumption over fact checking, so I am guessing Obama is not the Super Hero you describe.

9. No- Obama forced them into associating him with Louis Farrakkan.
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 03:37 PM by Dr Fate
Obama FOOLED them into adopting Lee Atwater's Willie Horton strategy.

Either that or he & his supporters are reverse racists for not being happy about it.

Obama FOOLED Bill Clinton into lying about whether he accused Obama of "playing the race card" as well.

21. I did, and I'm Fired Up! He does give a good speech, and to me,
seems so personable. Anyone who finds him 'cold' has a whole different mentality than I do.
