Wait a minute, Barack Obama is a hero? What is he championing? Hope? Hope in what? Change? What kind of change? Excuse me if I haven’t jumped on the Obama bandwagon, I must be missing something. What exactly is it that makes Barack Obama so different? What makes him qualified to be president? Is it because he’s a black man? I don’t see a lot of hope, I see a lot of smoke and mirrors. I see a man who hides what he’s really all about and I see an awful lot of people supporting him for no substantive reasons whatsoever.
In fact, I am convinced that there are a lot of people on the Barack Obama bandwagon because he’s a black man. I think a lot of people are going to vote for him just because of this alone, and I think that’s shameful! In my humble opinion, skin color shouldn’t even be a factor here period. There are a lot of people who may vote for Barack Obama out of a sense of duty to “right the wrongs” of our nation’s past treatment of African Americans. What these people fail to realize (or worse yet, maybe they do realize) is that this is just as racist as the racism they’re condemning. In fact it’s blatant racial preference much like affirmative action. This does not help fix the dying pockets of racism in America, it only fuels it.
So we have established that many of Obama’s supporters are displaying racism, but what about Barack Obama himself? Obama’s 20 year membership to the Trinity United Church (which clearly has promoted racial hatred and anti-Americanism) is very disturbing.
Now Barack Obama has verified this very fact! He’s done so by his politically motivated decision to now leave this disturbing church. This is the right decision on his part, I’m just wondering why he didn’t do it sooner, like 20 years ago!
Barack Obama has willingly surrounded himself with hateful influences for two decades of his life. My friends, that’s not hope, that’s division. I know an awful lot of people of my generation who grew up without the blatant (and wrongful) racism of the past. As more and more people find out about the individuals and philosophy that has influenced Barack Obama, there is reason to doubt his character.
In fact, one of the reasons I won’t be voting for Barack Obama is because I am opposed to racism!
How radical is Barack Obama? The funny thing is that no one is talking about his record. He was ranked as the most liberal U.S. Senator. He’s further left than Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton!
He has the endorsement of abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice. Think of the damage and setbacks that will occur with the types of judges that Obama will appoint to the courts! Obama has no foreign policy experience and has made outrageous statements about sitting down with dictators and mad men while turning a cold shoulder to our allies. Obama believes in bigger government, more federal programs, and more government control of your life.
By every account, Barack Obama does not grasp national security, he does not grasp the economic crisis in America, and he certainly does not grasp the culture war crisis (the moral issues that plague our society).
P.S. Obama’s former supporter and friend, slum lord Tony Rezko, was found guilty of a bunch of crimes today. Tsk. There’s that pesky character issue dogging Barack Obama again…

I can’t believe you’re not willing to support Obama. Can’t you see that he’s offering hope and change? Why do you want to get all bogged down in the specifics?
