Hey, Libs, how sad is your candidate?

All we hear from Obama is how he is going to bring change to Washington. We hear vague details on raising taxes on the rich, universal health care, pulling out of Iraq by a deadline, whether or not the job is done, and change.

Obama is a joke. Nothing in his candidacy has any substance. He goes on this "Foreign Experience" field trip where he only shook hands with troops when cameras were rolling. He refused to visit injured/wounded soldiers in Germany because there was no way he could turn it into a campaign stop.

He preaches about change, yet he offers absolutely ZERO substance. He has no leadership experience. He can't even run a decent campaign. He is in NO way, whatsoever qualified to run a mom and pop shop, much less the United States.

During his field trip, he spoke to 200,000 Germans. He told these Germans, who have all the basic earmarks of a socialist society, that he was just like them, believed the way they believed, and wanted the United States to be more like them. I am, of course, paraphrasing and interpreting, as even he is not dumb enough to say it in that manner. However, he related well to the socialist-esque Germans...that same psuedo-ally German country that won't support us in the war against Terror.

Coming home from the field trip, Obama was stunned there was very little bounce in his poll ratings. So, what can he do to regain his ever-slimming lead? Play the ultimate trump card.

THE VAUNTED RACE CARD!!!!!

He commented that Republicans are going to use fear tactics. The kicker of the diatribe was that he pointed out that Republicans were going to try to scare American voters because he doesn't look like the other Presidents. Obviously, this was not a comment on the wigs worn by the likes of George Washington, or the stove pipe hat of Lincoln. No, no, no! This was a direct comment about the fact that Obama is...GASP!...black!

Let me say this. Despite what Jeremiah Wright or Ludacris or any African-American celebrity or leader might say or imply, not voting for Obama is NOT racism.

If you do not vote for Obama, it does not mean that you are a racist. No matter what you might be led to believe. I don't care what anyone says, an Obama loss in November is not a win for racism.

I would say in upwards of 75%, or higher, of American voters would not think twice about a candidate's race. There are very few people, overall, who would actually not vote for someone due to race.

There is going to be an African-American president sometime in the near future. I just do not think this candidate is qualified to do so. Just because he is black does not mean he should be the first black president. You would think that blacks would want their first crack at running the White House to be successful.

I would hate to think that someone like Condi Rice, or any truly qualified African-American person, would have their chances hurt by a electing Obama. Obama is being portrayed the the Great Hope for black people. Sadly, his colossal failure as President could set-back the entire race on many levels.

I am not a racist. I would have no problem with Obama if he were qualified. I would have the same reservations about a white, Hispanic, Asian, Polynesian, or other ethnicity candidate if they were as underqualified.

It says a lot that the only people pointing out Obama's race are people on Obama's side. Its almost as if they are trying to guilt Americans into voting for him. This is not a popularity contest that guilt or charity votes should be solicited.

This is the race for the White House. This is the contest for the highest office on Earth. It should be won on substance and character, not by pointing out that the candidate is black, and that is the only reason you should vote for him.
