Excuse me.

He admitted in his speech that he wasn't being honest.

Friday he said he never heard Rev. Wright say those things and today he admits he did.

I'm sorry, but I've had enough of lying politicians.

He may be a gentleman in your eyes but what I see is a guy trying win an election. He was born color-blind and raised to be color-blind but because of his need to immerse himself in "The Black Experience" his view of the world has been twisted and warped.

I tried for years to teach my nephew, who's father was Somali and left him when he was a baby like Obama's father did, to stay away from the black experience and stop thinking in terms of race all of the time. He chose not to take my advice. His mother taught him to hate whites. I discovered this the first time we went to a basketball game and he was ashamed to be seen with me, that the type of friends he hung with would give him a hard time for being with a white Uncle.

As long as blacks insist on drudging up slavery they will always be slaves at heart. Segregation only exists in their minds these days.

Obama see's this country differently from most of us. He's see's black communities and white communities. Black America and White America. Instead of the Black Experience he needs to understand the American Experience and why it works. He needs to learn why this country was at one time called a "Melting-Pot". The greatest road-block to change is a refusal to move on and leave old ways behind. Here in America we can do that if we choose.

It won't take electing a Black President to bring the change he wants. All it takes is for people to stop blaming others for the past. Turn the other cheek, and forgive. Stop pointing fingers. People are just people. Their skin color should make no difference.
