Perhaps “it is the best of times and it is the worst of times”. Finally the general population is becoming involved and speaking out. We all should be participating in our republic, but largely we don’t. This challenge to the principles America was founded on MAY pull the people from apathy. Pray that it works! Or we will truly lose all freedoms in a huge transfer of power to the administrative branch of government _ and with Osama Obama at the helm.

Bob, We need a coalition of like minded people to get the word out that Obama does not represent Black Americans or any Americans. We cannot come this far in race relations and slide back because of obama. I cringe when Obama uses racism as his political strategy. I feel for every child out there that gets hurt by his remarks. Obama may try to destroy America, but I refuse to let him hurt our childrens future.

And I wonder, if everyone who opposes Obama is racist, how do we handle true racism? Like you said it isout there but now it is murky. Wear White, you are racist some bloggers claimed about Palin. Yes, Obama has hurt America but we are stronger than the hate of his team.

Racism is one of several refuges for the inadequate, so there will always be some racists. Some few people may reflect this administration on future black candidates.

However most of us have more sense than to think that because Obama has dark skin, anyone with a dark skin will make a crappy president. It’s his agenda we object to, not his color. Wish the first black president could have been a good one, for many more than racial reasons.

New to your site, I like it.

We will judge people through their words and actions, now and later. Nothing Obama, cronies, and minions have done has changed that. Our judgement and protests today are against the liberal/progressive philosophy, which has been demonstrated a regressive and failed philosophy. We stand against manipulation and control by our presumed superiors, the “elites.”

This is not a black and white issue.

It really irritates me when he is referred to as ‘first black President’ as clearly, based on his blood line, he is not. So why should blacks be smeared by his actions.

Let’s set the record straight and quit referring to him as something he is not.

It was clear that O advertised what he was during the campaign, but the libs never let facts get in the way of their “good feelings”. Unfortunately, I agree with you. That there have been too many Obama-lites that have gotten a pass and put us in the position where he’s the pres. I think that pass will be revoked. That being said, hopefully if a candidate of character and substance that happens to be black runs we’ll have gotten the whole vote-due-to-race thing out of our collective systems.

Best regards and wishes to you, Bob!

What a pity: there are a zillion blacks that would be a superb President but then you come along and ruin it for them. PLEASE RESIGN!!!”

I always use that salutation when I write Him. Son-in-Law says that would explain the black Suburban in my front yard.

I have to agree with you… Obama and other liberal black politicians of his ilk will make it very hard for the public at large to trust another candidate of color. I have to admit though, we were warned. Before BO started doing it on the big stage, the signs of what would happen were seen through the antics of the congressional black caucus, many a black mayor, and through countless black local and state political hucksters in every large city in America.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new.

I was struck by the passion that came through in your writing, it is also apparent this has been weighing on you and was something you had to express and just get it off your chest.

As to A Black person running for president in a post Obama future? I don’t think voters will be turned off because of their race, but will be judged as to the person and their politics.

Last year I became aware of just such a conservative Black man down in Florida, one Allen West. In his run for the US congress (which he lost) the Wife and I donated to, and supported him. He is now gearing up for another run at the same seat in 2010, and again the Wife and I are proud to already be donating to his campaign. What convinced me he was a man I could cross the river with, was his combat record as a commanding officer in Iraq and how is career was terminated for doing by his rights, the right thing to protect the lives of his troops. His personal integrity speaks volumes and most loudly over the empty words of so many others today.
