He may have done so in the past but at this point in time I am going to give him a chance to maintain a sense of honor and decorum on the office and the responsibility he is about to take.

I don't know if playing the race card would be considered acting black, but putting black interests ahead of white interests. If Obama focused more on black interests, there is no way in hell he would have gotten elected.

Obama made his campaign on helping the middle class not the lower class. There are many other reasons as well that point that his target audience are middle class whites.


Not that its bad thing...just that he knew the only way he could be elected was by doing such.

I am trying real hard not to read racism in your comments but I have to ask, do you think all black people are lower class?

This is the remark Nirvana couldn't remember making. It is the remark to which I replied.

We now return you to the rest of this thread, which is really a lot more fun. Particularly the second page.
