Anyone recognize the source:


"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost
duty
to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It
will
preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has
been
built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national
morality, and the family as the basis of national life."

Barack Obama, lying to the nation when he delivered his speech to the
Democratic National Convention?



Oh my! Aren't YOU bitter! What's wrong? Worried that the Dems have a
guy
who
can actually speak and weave together ideas like a big boy? Someone who
might kick the jambs out from under your shack in a few years?

You kow what bothers me about him?

He is more white than black in a purely genetic sense. One of his
parents is white and I believe that his other parent is also partially
white.

So with a smaller genetic portion of him being black, why doesn't he
call himself white?

Or even if he is purely half black and white, why doesn't he call
himself white?

Oh, I wish I hadn't asked that. :)

Who cares? About 6 months before the election, I heard someone speaking on
the radio, and it turned out to be him. The guy's brilliant.

I'm not sure about "brilliant". He is a good speaker and he has a
certain charisma, but let's see what he does as a Senator before we go
to the brilliant claim.

My point is this. He obviously is using his status as a black African
American to help his cause - he is called a black man and I watched
his speak with some interest as he was introduced by the various
talking heads as an "up and coming African American". In truth, he
can label himself as white. I was wondering why he didn't call
himself a white American.

You can't get any mileage from being a white American in the Democratic
Party...and you certainly can't play the race card in a tight election.
Maybe he's saving that as his trump card?
