Interesting that you are the one bringing race into your criticism of the current administration; in fact you emphasised the racial aspect of the current leadership. Do I detect a little racism from you CMS?

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.

You are the one making references to failed "white" leadership; there were also many Jews in the mix I wonder if you will cite this element in your criticism?

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?

I would love for his supporters to give me a rational reason why they support a junior senator with little proven experience on a federal level for the highest job in the land.

Were you hoping he'd make you feel better about your racially homogenous world by voting for him? Then fine.

Barack's church certainly seems to support racial homogeny but you do not complain about his affiliation with said church; I wonder why?

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.

And your support has nothing to do with the fact that he is black and will provide a non-white alternative to the failed "white" leadership over the past 7 years?

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.

What qualifications does Obama have that warrants a nomination based on merit; John Edwards and Hillary Clinton are both more qualified to serve as president than is Obama.
Besides his race and his ability to smooth talk the masses what does he actually bring to the table when it comes to merit?
