If the shoe was on the other foot
Obama/Biden vs McCain/Palin, what if things were switched
around?.....think about it. Would the country's collective point of view be different? Could racism be the culprit? Ponder the following: What if the Obamas had brought five children on the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter? What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class? What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee? What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident? What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married? What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization? What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard? What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.) What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker? What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter? What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes? What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem? What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution? What if the Obamas had adopted a white child? You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference. Educational Background: Barack Obama: Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations. Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude + Joseph Biden: University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.

It's something that elitists can't quite understand. Eisboch |

How dare the middle class want homes, education for their children, decent jobs, easy access to health insurance, and a decent retirement. That's reserved for the rich. |

That must be why Obama/Biden are winning this thing. It's something that elitists can't quite understand. Well at least you admit that you don't understand this. The question now is, are you an elitist/racist, or a racist/Elitist? |
