What Else Is Transformational About Obama If Not His Race?

"Why can't you Democrats acknowledge this? What's so hard about it? Just say it! Be proud of it! It would have been refreshing if Secretary Powell had stated the obvious, not danced around it." Rush Limbaugh, on the Colin Powell race card

      Is this now an open race thing?
      My information has it that Obama is no more an "African American" than ant other "Caucasian".
      His racial heritage makeup is Appx. 50% Caucasian, 44% Arab, and 6% African. Is this any different than most "White" Americans?
      Was Jimmy Carter considered an African American, or Bill Clinton ?
      They both have African blood mixed in their viens, THIS IS FACT.
      I realize that a large number of black persons will vote for Obama, because they perceive him as a black person. They are totally wrong in this belief and Obama has not set the record straight on this issue, rather he is playing the race issue on this mistaken perception. Go ahead and argue with this, but first, PLEASE, check out the actual facts of what I have said. This information is readily available to anyone interested enough to root it out.

        I think it is a combination of things.  Obama is the "Magic Black' that African Americans and liberals have been dreaming of to become the first  black president and assuage a nation of two hundred years of guilt.  Obama is dark enough to satisfy the African Americans but light enough to not freak out older Americans who were raised on racism and secretly still embrace it.  Obama is articulate, charismatic and a natural orator.  He has that intangible quality of "It'.  He's got "It".  Unfortunately he also has a philosophy that is more liberal than any candidate for the presidency in history. He is beyond the tax and spend liberal.  He is for income redistribution.  If he is elected it will just be a matter of time before reparations will be an issue for African Americans.  They still want their forty acres and their mule or the modern day equivalent plus interest for a hundred years.

        He is only 6% black, and there were already 5 presidents who had African American bloodlines.

        His campaign fund raising tactics! Think of the hundreds of millions his buddies stole from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, they then redistribute these funds to the various neighborhoods with potential supporters, these newly distributed funds a portion of which is donated to his Presidential Election Campaign and thereby create the illusion of record breaking, unprecedented small donations that fund this campaign to astronomical limits! How imaginative!

          I don't think race is the problem.The problem is he isn't an American in the true sense ,Just read his name for 1,he wont say are pledge,he wont cross his heart.His mentor is a raceist!He cant give us what he promises the American people.Click on the link below, and scroll down until the video box appears.  
          Here's even more information on Obama that the media is hiding.

          I think this is well worth watching.  Our country would be in VERY DEEP
          TROUBLE if he is elected!!

          Everyone needs to see this video and forward it to as many people as
          you can.   This guy is scary...

          Is anybody impressed or surprised that Colin Powell endorsed Sen. Obama?  I am not.  I've always known that blood is thicker than water.  They are brothers.  I am not voting for Obama.  I don't even believe what the media is saying. When President Harry Truman got elected for president of the United States, he was not the favorite according to the newspaper. His winning was a total surprise even to himself. It could happen again this time.

          His intellect and empathy. Something we have been lacking in a politician for quite some time.

          You're confused eloquent oratory with substance between the ears. And his empathy is clearly not demonstrated for white working-class citizens, as is evident by his current mission to completey ruin the life of a plumber who simply asked him a question. Clearly, Obama's race is his "wow" factor; no doubt about it.

          He definitely speaks to my white working class situation, I don't know about yours. As far as "ruining" the life of a plumber, I believe he, mccain and the media did a fine job of that themselves. Obama had nothing to do with that. Your hate is clearly evident in your many comments in the many questions throughout this site. You really need to relax a bit.
