?Because he?s African-American. Because he?s a black man,..."

"It?s hard to believe, given Obama?s exponential rate of poll climbing, that 18 months ago he was not a household brand.
Of course, for some, he was. Diehard Leftists became sycophantic Obamanites after his 2004 Demo Convention keynote speech. They, and Obama?s primary promoters, Jean-Francois Kerry and Teddy Kennedy, have been grooming him for this campaign since his Senate election in 2004.
Obama?s selection as the Demos? 2004 keynote ensured his successful bid for the U.S. Senate, and a $1.9-million book deal to boot. The grooming exercise paid off for his true believers, though Obama is not much more than a lapdog for Kerry, who is, himself, just a lapdog for Kennedy.
This cadre of ?useful idiots? comprised the sum total of those who took Obama seriously when he announced his candidacy last February.
How arrogant, Clintonistas thought, that this freshman senator from Illinois, whose credentials were little more than ?community organizer? and state senator (oh, and ?African-American?), would dare challenge the former co-president of the United States.
Asked about his qualifications to be president, Kerry said, ?Because he?s African-American. Because he?s a black man, who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country... President Obama [would be] a symbol of empowerment [who has] the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism, to maybe even give power to moderate Islam... an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don?t get anything.?
Of course, from Kerry?s ?limo-liberal? perspective, I suppose that a black guy who lives in a $2-million Georgian mansion on Chicago?s South Side (with a little help from Tony Rezko) appears to have been ?oppressed and repressed through the years.?
Kerry?s cosmological assessment notwithstanding, it is time to ask, ?Who is Barack Hussein Obama??

Obama was born in Hawaii just two years after it became a state. Hawaii, proud of it's native heritage, was a hot bed of racism, only not the kind blacks experienced here in the U.S. The term hoale was not a complimentary term used for white. Kill Hoale Day was, and still is, a popular day celebrated in Hawaiian schools. And I doubt that Obama suffered under the bonds of American racism during his years in Indonesia (Jakarta).
The only racism that becomes blatant seems to be Obama's own as expressed in his books or his wife's opinion that America is "mean" and she had no pride in being an American (who lives in a $1.8 million mansion and earns $300K a year). Perhaps she would have been happier in her father-in-law's Kenya where she would not have reached the lofty status of "weathy" she has here.
Not withstanding is Obama's choice of a church when he was, in fact, warned by other black ministers that Trinity was "controversial". Does one sit and listen to a race mongering preacher for 20 years and not find something in that hate speech to agree with?

No, I have read enough anti-Obama stuff on this message board to last a lifetime, thanks.
Anybody got something to say about his platform?
I know I'm asking a lot...

Warrior: Yup, I've read enough anti- Bush stuff to last 2 lifetimes. Obama's platform should be more centerist, and Savy IMO. He caused an uproar in Canada with his 'wink-wink' on Free Trade. Pitted the Conservative Government against the Liberal. Still Boiling today. His platform needs a firm foundation....with no wink, winks.

Well, Obama, not Bush, is the subject here. (And yes, I've seen an awful lot of garbage on Bush, too.)
That being said, it does not change the fact that there's even more garbage posted here against Obama than there is against Bush since Obama was recognized as a genuine Presidential candidate.
Go back as far as you like, all the way to Obama announcing his candidacy, if you wish, and you'll see.
..And most of it has not got ANYTHING to do with his political platform.

It's a political race for the next president, Warrior.

The parties have all been playing politics in who they have chosen to put up and endorse.
It only makes sense to me that we become educated about all that a person is[/is], who is running for any office, let alone the presidential office.
Along with the facts, come observations. I may be guilty of 'bashing' a candidate from time to time, but that's not what this post is about.
Warrior, why don't you start a thread on Obama's 'platform'? I've already discussed as much as I know about him, previously. I think we exhausted that one, here, maybe not.

WAIT TILL THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN STARTS....
I WILL be outta here. No good-bye, no nothing. I'll be gone from the end of the convetions until the day after the election.
If I don't, I'll probably get banned responding to the Looney Tunes adventures of the History Channel Message Board...

Question:
Has he ever held a job other than while in college? I have never heard one way or the other, but he acts like he hasn't.

I cringe when I think I considered voting for this man. More and more ugliness comes out as we get further into the election season. And thank goodness for that!

Because, Merceditas, that's not my job.
The platforms, the REAL platforms, of ALL the presidential candidates are at your fingertips. They all have websites featuring their political platforms, their biographies, and also independent, non-political sites exist where FACTs can be sought and cross-referenced about the candidates to verify the websites' credibility.
That, of course, is if anyone is interested in the truth, instead of the garbage people are posting here on the History Channel Message Board from partisan sources designed to destroy candidates that the people who post such slander weren't going to vote for anyway, but post here out of sheer ugliness, so other people who agree with them and despised that candidate before the election even began can agree with them.
Or haven't you even noticed that more than half, in fact more than 75% of the stuff posted here against Barack Obama is racial in some way, shape, or form, and has absolutely nothing to do with what the man talks about doing if he is elected?
And if you don't believe me, go back and check the negative posts about Obama, say about the last twenty or so you can find, in chronological order (there are a helluva lot more than that, but I wouldn't ask you or anyone else to wade through THAT much garbage), and see how many actually involve saying something about his real platform instead of talking as if it were WRIGHT that was running for President.
I am not campaigning for the man.
I don't even know who I will vote for yet.
I do definitely know that it will NOT be based on the lies, slander, and miscellaneous low grade fertilizer that people are posting here about ANY candidate.
...And Merceditas, you can take that to the bank.

Here you go Merceditas,
Try this one on for size...
For more of the same, vote McCane.
or how about,
John McCane is the same as W Bush.
That wasn't a very good one but hey it works.
McCane is one we will blame for more of the same..
Can you come up with one???

The fact that he is the most radically leftist Senator currently on record, based on his voting record, makes me wonder what the heck anyone is thinking trying to have him considered for the Presidency to represent all peoples of the USA.
It's absurd to think anyone so diametrically and absolutely opposed to consensus views could be even considered.

So not sure why you suggest I do it.
As I said, I have discussed some of Obama's platform. Perhaps you missed it?

Apparently not.
He's ahead of Clinton currently.
And like I said, precious little has been said here about his platform.
