American politics are an absolute joke and we deserve what we get. We had seven years of the conservative, white, male, mainstream Christian leadership. And what did it reap us? A failed war in Iraq. An economic crisis. A broken educational system. And

So we're going to take a man who has some *excellent* ideas for solving these issues and addressing them. And we're going to disregard him because his pastor made UNDER TEN controversial, even call them racist, sermons over the course of TWO DECADES.

My question to people who claimed to "used to support" Obama. Why did you support him? Did you support him because you thought he would be a good President. Or did you just support him because you thought he'd be the kind of Black man who would pretend that racism doesn't exist? Were you hoping he'd make you feel better about your racially homogenous world by voting for him? Then fine. Your support isn't really necessary. I support Barack Obama because I think he has the best plans to bring the country out of the current funk that it is in. If he can't win on those merits. And if John McCain CAN win merely because he's white, old a man and doesn't cause people to have to do or think in any new ways, then the continuatoin of the Bush failures is what this country will reap and we will deserve it. This is. ridiculous.

This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
