Barack is for all Americans, any other way and he loses the GE. Just the way it is.

He doesn't want to hate on any race, he is aiming for inclusivity. It might upset some, but he won't win an election favouring any one side. Barack is studious, he has learned from the 80's and has modified his campaign not to exclude, or favour any part of American society. If folks want him to win in 2008 let him carry on as he is, he is politcal genius. If people follow him close enough they will know he isn't trhying to offend anyone in doing this. If folks are trying to label him racist for ignoring these events why is his wife african american. Please, those taking this as rejection observe him ore closely and try to understand his motives.


Folks will say well he attended Selma but if you look at it Selma is a different event where alla mericans honour the scrifices made to move forward civil rights.

All you have to do is put yourself in his shoes. If as a candidate he was showing more favour to any one section of american society his tush is out of office as soon as he blinks. He will serve America as a president for all americans and that is how it should be.

1. Andrew I appreciate your support of Obama but you know very little about race.

His decision not to attend today's event has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with his need to be in Ohio and Texas.

If you took the time to watch today's vent (which is an annual event for me), you would see a serious, always animated discussion on uplifting African Americans. The discussion of one's race, even though he is mixed Barack is viewed by the majority of Americans as African American, is not racist.

What Barack will do as president will be important to African Americans, as it will be for all Americans. I would hope that if his schedule would have allowed he would have participated. I also hope that Hillary will make this event a priority each year, whether she is president or not.

2. cooolandrew, a question for you...

Where are you from? You use Canadian/British spellings, and I've wondered from some of your other posts if you are a native English speaker. Your profile is hidden, too.

I'm just curious. This is not intended to be malicious in any way. Don't answer if you don't want to, please.
