The demographic we all share, outside of being human'
is we will all age, aside, disease, war, etc. We all become those seniors, that seem to be the source of all evil meme today. And if you get your heads out of the them vs us stratosphere, you will realize, that as you age, you become more diverse, not less.

I have written this before, about being from Iowa, and we are the ones that launched Obama, support him like no other state. And we are one of the oldest states, along with being one of the whitest.

If you are looking for easy answers, and easy people to lay blame to, then do not support Barack Obama. He is a man who is complicated, understands that there is no easy answer for anything. He takes his time, thinks things out and abhors the jingoistic.

So maybe we should not let the media try and press our buttons so. I posted a thread yesterday, that had almost no attention, and it was to the fact that Obama has the support of women that exceeds that of Kerry, Gore and even possibly Clinton. People were gnashing their teeth about women not supporting Obama, instead of looking at the facts.

Again, just like the racism, that is being promoted by the republican party to the press. Much of this is nothing more than a news cycle.
