Obama? Glitter and shadows!!
Posted On 02/08/2008 20:55:32 by NiteMyste

I have been watching the race for president lately, catching all the info on the various candidates for each party and I can't help but notice that Obama, while he seems okay, is all glitter and shadows.

He changes his style to match the people he is talking to. If he is talking to blacks, he takes on an almost "Martin Luther King" drawl to his voice and the tempo he speaks in. To them he tells them he is the "Black" candidate. The only one who knows what they are going thru.

If he is talking to whites, his timbre in his voice loses all it's "black slang" and "preacher" style and he becomes the man who graduated from university, the very definition of the "uncle Tom" and it is then he reminds everyone that he is only HALF black.....in fact, he prefers to say his mother and her parents are white and not even mention his black father.....

And then we get to the issues... he skates and avoids ANY comments concerning the issues except one.. he NEVER voted to go to war in Iraq... HELL!!.. he was not even in the Senate then. How the hell do we know WHAT he woulod have voted, he was never faced with the decision. It is sure alot easier to comment AFTER the fact.

I worry about the people who are being fooled by his false candicacy. There have even been comments by actual members of his support team that it is getting to be almost "cultish" in nature the way people "come to Obama". (the "come to Obama" is an actual quote used by people recruiting people to his support. This is similar to what was said by many a cult ie/ the Moonies, when they said to "come to the Reverand Moon" or even by evangelicals when they say "come to Jesus")

 

He has yet to be tested on the issues. It is easy to "pretend" to be a rock stasr running for president, but let's face it folks, once he is voted in you are stuck for 4 years. Are you willing to trust the future of your country to a man who evades the issues and glorifies in a rock star status? Don't you think the smart thing to do would be to actually find out the truth and to make sure your vote is not a wasted one?

I'm a lucky person or am I? I don't live in the USA. I am not faced with the decision of choosing a president. But here is one thing I do know..... what happens in the USA effects me and my country (Canada). I cross the border on a regular basis to do business with the US. In fact, I spend 80% of my time there. I see what is going on. I hear what is happening and I worry ... some of my BEST friends are Americans and I worry for them and their future. So, before you follow blindly like everyone else and believe in all the hype and rock star glitz being spread by Obama and his team (Oprah) remember something. You are still at war. Iraq still exists. Iran is at the door waiting.... the Taliban is still rebuillding as is Osama still on the loose.  Do you truly believe you need a "rock star" to lead your country at this time... or someone with a little more experience, less glits and more balls?

Personally, I would vote for Hillary if I had a choice. When her husband left office you were in a "surplus" your economy was in it's best state ever and no one was fucking with the US..... ponder this when you go to vote ......

Respectfully yours....

I agree with the Vote Hillary, that was what I had planned on doing in the first place, not only because when Bill was in office were were in the surplus, but she plans to get Healthcare available for EVERYONE, not just cretian people who can't afford it.

Not only does she already have the knowldege of what it is like to be in the white house and has seen first hand the things that went on when her husband was there, even though still only being the first lady, she still played a part there and I would love to see her in office, I never really liked Obama to start with, and I have notice the changes he takes on when dealing with the diffrent audieances and the voice behind it all, I think that just having Oprah on his team is a cheap blow.  I mean come on, she is already a popular and well respected woman, but all her "Followers"...

I just think Obama is not what we need right now...

Ah my friendly canuck, you speak true, but as an american, I ask you. Would someone who could actually do a decent job in washington be stupid enough to walk into that limelight?  The media, and this isn't just Obama, have turned one of the fundamentals of this country into nothing more than a popularity contest. It's not saying the wrong thing, being so unclear as not to push away potential voters. When i walk into a voting booth, I stifle a laugh, because if this is democracy, maybe I learend all I needed to learn in high school.

"He could probably not make America worse".... famous last words.
While I agree that the choices are very limited, and yes, some of the middle east do not respect womaan, this does not mean that Hillary will not place the BEST person in a position to do what is best for the US. To be honest, Obama, at this time, would be more suited to being a vice president. In this role he COULD represent Hillary and the US to try and negotiate a peaceful settlement in the mid east.

People have to do what they believe is best for the country, not vote their emotions. Learn the facts, investigate the information and the issues. What you do this year will affect your country for at least the next four years. Choosing the lesser of two evils is NOT a solution. Voting for someone simply because he comes off as a rock star is NOT a solution.

YOU represent the future of your country.... YOU are the deciding voice... DON'T let glitz and glamour dazzle you into believing the fallacies generated to keep you confused. DO your homework, investigate, research, and when all is said and done.... vote for the person YOU believe will do that which is BEST for not only you, but for your country. YOU have a voice.... YOU have the power.... USE IT!
