16. Maybe Obama just isn't the right guy
I'm seeing a double standard here. When he's doing well, he transcends race, it has nothing to do with race. WHen he's not, the media hates him because of his race.

I think it has to do with him not being the person he presents himself as being. Nothing to do with his race.

When I was a tyke, I would have given my Schwinn bike to my enemies if Shirley Chisolm could have becoome President.

The one human being on this planet who SHOULD have become President was Barbara Jordan.

Just speaking for myself (but, I've noticed my views seem to be shared amongst some) I don't particularly trust Obama. I like him, but I don't quite think he's the person he pretends to be on stage.

If he goes down, it's not going to be because of his race. It will be because he wasn't believable about his relationship with this pastor, amongst other things.
