Will Obama be the President and why?

[bm-21Lemko]

I don't really like any of the canidates. I do agree with Obama lifting the gas tax is a stupid idea for only three months. It was stupid in the first place to create a gas tax(under Carter administration).

First of all, companies will never pay the tax, the consumers will, they just raise the price of their product to compensate for the tax.

I agree with hillary that Iraq has had long enough to take control of their country, but i disagree that we should pull out. I'm afraid if the U.S. pulls out that Iraq will either be invaded by its neighbors or become another Afghanistan.

I'm not sure but if McCain wins, he might have a similar pattern to Bush.

I agree with some stuff from every canidate and disagree the same

Thats my opinion though.

Cheers

I personally am torn between Clinton and McCain

McCain for only one reason, he is right about the war

Nobody wants the war, but we cannot just pull out

All else, to Hillary

Obama is not racist, he disrespected his grandmother nationally

Obama is not racist, he just listens to a preist talk about white hate

Obama is not racist, he is fair and just and wants to join both sides

Do you get what I'm saying here?

He is the most disrespectful person ever.

And putting that aside, lets talk about Wright.

I don't care what you know about him. I don't care what else he says. As a matter of fact I watch a long vid which included all the sniplets, but all other things.

Let me take you back to Don Imus, He said 3 words. 3 WORDS.

Yea, but Barack knows what its like to be a black person, Hillary will never know that because Hillary has never been called a N*gga. Right, umm, what verse is that in the bible?

Spare the sarcasm, stepan. Other than his AIDS statement, nothing Jeremiah Wright has said is contrary to anything other Evangelical Christian leaders have stated (e.g. - Hurricane Katrina is God's retribution for homosexuality, the tsunami was God's retribution for unChristian lifestyles).

If you read the prophets of the Old Testament, you will see why Rev. Wright states his statements are in accordance with theological principles.

As for his AIDS statements, read about the Tuskegee experiment.

This does not suggest I agree with Rev. Wright, only that I don't find his statements particularly controversial.

I also suggest you familiarize yourself with black liberation theology. You can start with this -

Wright's theology not "new or radical" | Salon

There will be nothing good for Americans. He will advise the emotional afroamerican guy to begin the war with Russia. Obama will take the troops from Iraq and enter them to Russia which has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the World.

The people will be used over again.

Madness squared.

He is one of his advisors. Another is Samantha Power.

Brezinski is a realist. He will not advise anyone to begin a war.

McCain is not right about the war. See Lebanon as an example.

Kathy,

I am talking about Obama hear, not Wright. Read it please.

And I think McCain is right about the war, I just dont like his attitude for it.

I did read it, Stepan. And you did mention Rev. Wright. It is in the quoted text of your post.

With respect to Senator Obama, I suggest you read his first book, Dreams From My Father. You cannot read that book and come with a conclusion that he is a racist. He writes with love and respect of the grandparents who helped raise him, and has a lovely forward about his mother. He also writes a little about his sister, who is half white/half Indonesian, and about his Indonesian stepfather, who he also admired. He also makes passing reference to the white woman he loved.

A racist is one who believes in the superiority of one race over another. There is nothing you can find in any of Senator Obama's words that would support your assertion.
