"The Greatest"
You know, its interesting the kind of reasoning and logic some people employ in their racist observations concerning this election. I had a Fox right-winger tell me that all blacks will vote for Obama just because he’s black; not because he is qualified. I said, “That’s not true at all.” In just about every presidential election I can remember around 90% of African-Americans vote for the Democrat because it is in their interest to vote for the party and candidate that supports their interest. It’s like saying people who work for Military Defense Contractors always vote for the white guy just because he’s white. No, it’s because it is in their interest to vote for the Republican candidate and his party which always supports war and the endless spending on the international killing machine we call the corporate military industrial complex.
There are many blacks who will vote for the white Republican candidate because it is in their interest to do that. They may be black oil executives, black Enron type CEO’s, black conservative Supreme Court Justices, black Fox news anchormen or black millionaire sports figures. But for around 90% of most hard working African Americans and regular white, tan, yellow, red and brown people that work for a living it is in their best interest to vote for a candidate that will represent them and their interests and that will be a Democrat. Don’t try to make African-Americans out to be racists in reverse. They are no different than white people. They usually vote their personal interest.
The fact that Obama was tops in his class at Harvard and McCain was 4th from the bottom in his class at the Naval Academy should have much more to do with how people view them than their skin color. McCain and Mitch McConnell represent all the corruption, mistakes and endless spending of the past Republican Congress. They voted with “w” over 95% of the time. Enough said. After the ignorance of leadership over the last eight years we need someone who has the intelligence to lead in a positive and enlightened way. This country can’t endure another four years of war, debt and misery. We need a leader to change our direction and one we can believe in. Obama is the man who will be to American politics what Cacius Clay / Ali was to boxing forty years ago. There will be no stopping “the Greatest leader” of this century! Bring him on!
