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've taken alot of shit from my family about not Supporting Obama. Frankly, he runs on a far left platform, but then states he supports Liscenses for Illegal immigrants. Ignoring the fact that the reason to give Illegeal Immigrants liscenses is to make them more employable. I.E. it's very clear to me he supports the big businesses that thrive off the exploitation of people.

 

Hillary is one hundred percent behind Universal Healthcare. Obama is extrememly wishy washy. He has a "Halfway" plan that will create healthcare for a large amount of people, but is not a universal healthcare program. As a communist, I think the choice is clear: The person who will push us in a more socialist direction.

I agree, Obama often offers glitz and glammer more than real answers. However, when he finally does state is policy and his opinion, I find myself to be persuaded. As our race grows narrower and narrower, with Romney and Edwards having dropped out, I'm finding myself to be in a position very similar to last election; no option is particularly pleasant. Will I send Hillary to the Middle East in attempts to negotiate peace? They don't respect their women, and if I recall correctly the last woman in power there (Bhutto) was assassinated quite quickly. If we elect a woman to try and maintain peace in this filthy war, will the Middle East respect us as a threat at all?

I agree; Obama is a shadey choice. He is difficult to decipher and can be evasive.  Honestly, though, my opinion is simply this; ANYONE is better than Bush. ANY of these candidates can make even a little better what Bush has done to America. No single candidate appeals to my opinions -- there are no truly progressive options for my truly progressive soul. However, I will not eliminate Obama from my consideration. He probably couldn't make America any worse.
