Reply #168: Why do you support Pres. Obama then?

[Hollywood Trucker]

I was just wondering why you, and others like yourself, still support Pres. Obama after admitting yourself that he hasn't achieved anything that he campaigned for. You also go on to say you fight every day for security, food, housing, heat, and clothing and that you don't have much time to worry about political considerations...so are you implying that all inner city residents voted for Mr. Obama without even knowing his political stances on any issues just because he has the same colored skin as the majority of the inner city population. Also, if people of the inner city, like yourself, don't have time to worry about political issues then where are you finding all this time to run for office and campaign yourself? I'm not criticizing you or any other person, I just don't believe people should blindly follow elected officials just because of their charisma, charm, or color of skin. I think people should vote for the candidate that shares their same beliefs whether they are democrats or republicans. I heard too many people saying they were going to vote for Pres. Obama without even knowing where he stood on many major issues. The same can be said about republicans too. I know there are those out there that only voted for Sen. McCain just to keep a black man from being elected president which is equally wrong. I believe in listening to both sides and then deciding for yourself what to believe. Stop being sheep. These people work for you. Would you let an employee boss you around at work. No! You would stand up for yourself and let them know that if they didn't want to do what you asked them to then their services were no longer needed. Simple as that.
