Spade work?
I still say the "N" word will be out there soon if Obama keeps beating
her.

Nah - but if I were Obama, I'd make a wooden stake and buy a truckload
of garlic. Also if I were Obama, I'd check the bus brakes every time I
got on, not eat anything from sources I couldn't vouch for, avoid
balconies and buy a bomb sniffing dog.

I would also watch the movie "The Omen" for other ways that I might
come to grief.

That's what I would do if I were Obama. :)

I find it truly unfortunate and a sad commentary on our society that
he'd have to be concerned with that scenario. Not that I don't agree
with you to a degree, but haven't we evolved any?

I was joking - I don't actually think that.

I do understand your larger point though and you're right.

I had noticed and then thought during his very first election speech,
"hey, this guy is different than the rest". The color of his skin means
nothing to his qualifications, but I'm thinking the majority of the USA
is not quite ready for him. I am more concerned with what I had been
reading relating to his Muslim background than the color of his skin.

I'm concerned about the whole Democratic field actually. The only one
who had what I would consider "experience" was Bill Richardson and now
that he's out, there really isn't anybody I could vote for. I'm very
afraid of a class warfare scenario if either Hillary or Obama is
selected for the national campaign.

On the other hand, there's only one Republican that I consider
Presidential and he doens't have a prayer unfortunetely - well maybe a
prayer, but it doesn't seem likely.
