wow..i see this thread has taken a turn for the worse... i am in no way a surpporter of any politicians..i think they all lie to get in the position they want...true, Obama might have never won if he was white, and maybe bush never would of won if his father wasnt who he is, but that neither here nor there. Bush WAS in office and did some good and some bad thing and its time to move on..obama is not perfect either..he will make mistakes just as bush did..the only thing i am not feeling is that people are going to come down on him harder simply because he is afro american.thats just not fair..but i guess he knows that..he seems pretty smart and should know that its not fair game....as for the race card..no matter what people say nowadays..raceism is still alive and probably stronger then ever because people tend to hide it now so its a bottled inside them...so a lot of people hate Obama simply because he is BLACK...
