| 98. Racism. We know its out there, but what can we do? |
|
Obama cannot change his skin color, nor should he.
So all we can do is continue to get the word out, bolster his efforts, and attack McCain with the truth!
There are enough people who will listen and a few who might be prejudiced in personal matters, but objective enough to see that Obama is the best choice this time around.
So lets just drop it and get on with things!
