Ralph Nader is an ungrateful moron..

[Mesteryo]

On the night when the first black man was elected President you'd think a progressive would be happy and speak of Obama's accomplishment but not Nader. Nader chooses to imply Obama may not be black enough with the following statement:

To put it very simply, he is our first African American president, or he will be. And we wish him well. But his choice, basically, is whether he is going to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations. http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/11/ralph-nader-wonders-whether-ob.html

Sure he can wonder if Obama will really keep his promise to serve the people and not special interests but using racially charged language to make the point was unnecessary.

Nader needs serious help.

9. nader has slipped down the hole of self aggrandizing fool.

aka "only I know what's right for the country, even when I come off as a complete loon!"

nader needs to do what he does best, that being a public advocate, other than that, he needs to scrub the presidential wanna-be crap out of his eyes and get on with his life.
