Re: Bashing Huckabee
If Obama thinks like his mentor pastor who likes The Nation Of Islam which wants a nation of and by black extremist racists, hating whites and Jews, what has Obama got in mind for whites down the line?? That's the question and the risk in electing such a person.
This is just a preview of what the republican slime machine will do to Obama if he is nominated. First the race issue, like Ford in Tennessee. That will run for awhile and second will come the Islamic issue. After the republican swift boating, only blacks and those of the Islamic faith will vote for him. For the democratic presidential bit, this would be a recipe for disaster.

Will the south vote for an African American?
Many whites will see him as more white than black, at least in terms of his overall perspective.
Do you think that his overall perspective will show him as more white than black in the south?
I don’t think that the Iowa win and perhaps New Hampshire is a confirmation that the whole country is color blind.
Being form the south, I have talked to people who have said that they would not vote for him because of color, even though the same people expressed total hatred for Bush and the Republican Party.
And then you have the uninformed or marginally informed voter.
I spoke to one the other day, and his remark was that he would never vote for Obama because, and I quote, “when he was sworn into the senate he put his hand on the Koran instead of the bible”.
When I told him it was Keith Ellison from Detroit, his remark was, “well, that’s not what I heard”. I had to pull it up on the internet to prove it to him. What about the uninformed voters that don’t get the truth.
We all know that these kinds of lies will be presented.
And then you have this lie.

I hope you are correct with your statement that the public is sick of the kind of politics that we’ve had in the past. I want a democratic president, Clinton or Obama.
