Obama: I'm running for president

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

to give you an idea of how distressing all of this is to me, i'd even vote for gore now over hillary and obama.

Well, Chuck, seems like you blew your chance of voting for Gore. Now you gotta live with the consequences.

John: Set Your People Free!

Big mouthed Australian Prime Minister John Howard says electing Sen. Barack Obama as US president would be a reward to al-Qaeda and that terrorists are praying for such an outcome. He makes this assertion because Sen. Obama, like the majority of Americans, want US troops out of Iraq.

Our message to John over in Australia is simple—Shut your racist mouth! Let the American electorate decide who runs this country while Australians decide who runs Australia. Of course, we can give your countrymen a suggestion—we pray that they vote you out of office when you face elections later this year.

John is an unrepentant racist from the Old School. He has been the chief architect of the Western economic boycott that has destroyed Zimbabwe’s economy and created widespread poverty in that Southern African country, under the false pretence of wanting to usher democracy. Where were Australia and the West when Ian Smith, Zimbabwe’s last white prime minister –it was then Rhodesia--ran an apartheid regime there? The West argued that sanctions would harm Africans the most and abetted Smith.

When the Zimbabwe government had the arrogance to share formerly white-controlled land with landless Africans, John was leading the call for sanctions. Bwana John was happy with the way things were in the good old days when whites, who made up less than 2% of the population, controlled nearly 70% of the fertile land in Zimbabwe and Africans were reduced to serfdom. Those days are long gone John—you can’t tell free Black men in Africa how to govern their destiny; and you certainly can’t tell Americans whom to elect president.

John sees the emergence of a serious Black presidential candidate in the U.S. and he can’t control his racist bones. He maligns Sen. Obama by associating him with terrorism. At the back of his racist brain, he is deliberately creating an association between “Obama” and “Osama”; much like some right-wingers have attempted here.

Moreover, Bwana John should be the last person in the world giving advice to Americans. He is the leader of a country where the original inhabitants, the so-called aborigines, are treated like slaves and second class citizens. John, set your people free.

If Sen. Obama’s campaign fails to land him in the White House, it will be because Americans embraced the vision presented by another candidate, and also because many Americans still are not ready to vote for a Black candidate. John is appealing to the latter group.

This country needs someone who has ideas as well as real workable solutions. Somebody who can bridge the gap between the left and the right.. Somebody who will be respected within the country as well as abroad.

This is one of my favorite bipartisan commercials..

You know what cracks me up about that. As people say overseas, only in America can a black only newspaper call someone else racist.

Sounds like Al Sharpton doesn't much care for Obama......

"I think the identity politics should not be based on race," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, a 2004 presidential candidate. "It should be based on agenda and policy - who stands for our best interests. We cannot put our people's aspirations on hold for anybody's career, black or white."

[...]

Without naming Obama, Sharpton added that "just because you're our color doesn't make you our kind."

[...]

Sharpton also chided Obama for making his presidential announcement in Springfield rather than before the predominantly African-American audience at Hampton, and said the Illinois senator needs to declare "what's his embrace of our agenda."

White people don't have "white leaders". Hopefully, soon, the day will come when black people don't have black leaders either.

You know...if I were an African-American, I'd be pretty insulted by the idea that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were supposedly my race's "leaders" and "speak for my people."

Saw his interview on 60 Minutes last night. I was impressed. I believe he's a leader. I think he's passionate. I can't vote however, for many years, but if I could....

My dad knows the guy personally, and says out of all the Senators, he's one of the best. He comes in and has conversations with the garage staff down there, a very personable and down-to-earth kind of guy, and also with charisma and a good personality. Dad said he wants to head up his campaign LOL!

[almaty 19]

Does he know what he is doing? Does he have real world workable ideas or is he just song and dance??

Hasn't this country had enough politicians who don't walk the talk?? This country needs someone who has shown, when the going gets tough, the tough get going..

Off-Topic. I was having a read of some of the articles in this site and noticed some really hypocritical racism going on.. That site would actually be illegal in a country like Australia where they have a Racial Discrimination Act..
