Okay, then how do you explain Clinton’s votes on the use of force and the funding then in light of that statement?

Better still, considering that just the other day (funny how it disappeared, but older posts still appear in the right hand side) there was one of the typical NoQuarter posts slamming Obama for saying he’d start bringing home troops – everyone hitting him for being naive and saying that Clinton knows better – yet lo and behold we have this statement today:

“We need to be planning and preparing to start bringing our troops home, and I have committed to doing that within 60 days of my becoming president,”

This above posted statement is absolutely true. His knowledge about domestic policy is just as limited. There is nothing about this guy that qualifies him for even the second top spot in our country, much less the presidency. Being half black is just not enough to warrant my vote.

It pains me you are “pressed” to state the obvious, as a person with your insights and experience has much to add.

Thanks for calling it what it is, “a misguided illusion”.

Being AA, would you say that the US is probably one of the best countries to live in regardless of race? You don’t have to answer obviously, but I have always wondered what AA’s think of living in the US. I know there is a bad history, but America has been moving in the right direction. I saw a comment you made on another post about how you felt Barack Obama would cause negative repercussions in the black community in the future. I was wondering what you meant by that.

Pay careful attention to what’s being said here, because it figures prominently into my reasons for not supporting Obama even though I’m an AA.

The man has no diplomatic experience. He thinks he’s going to strut upon the world stage and leaders of other foreign countries are simply going to keel over to his ‘greatness.’ The man is delusional.

Diplomacy is a labyrinthine world of careful maneuvers based on cultural respect and knowledge as well the political power of the players involved. Nothing about a Barack Obama presidency is going to change that. He may be able to posture such nonsense in the AA community, but in the real world no one cares about the egocentrism of a biracial American man nor of a community that’s still choking on anger of the historical wrongdoings inflicted on them and their ancestors. In the scheme of things, racism does not resonate with foreigners the way AAs would like to believe. Not even with a lot of Africans, who have their own issues with colonialism and the corrupt African leaders who have been in charge since their independence. (I guess it would be unfair of me to mention Obama’s own cousin here, but fuck it, Odinga fits the bill.)

It’s crazy scary that Obama is even close to be POTUS at this point in time.

You an HRC have something very much in common. Bush/Cheney and Rove choose to denigrate your service to country when you opposed them. HRC’s service to country has been denigrated, this time by Obama and crew, because she stands in their way.

Despicable on both counts (3 if you throw in Kerry in 2004). Obama and his minions are as disgusting as the rovian smear machine in bushworld.

The news that Odinga wants a 50-50 split in Kenya’s cabinet made me dig deeper…and wow, there are some interesting Obama-Odinga similarities/links….and they way Odinga ran his campaign sounds eerily familiar, too!(see the Newsweek Intl. article link)
