Obama? Why not!

Six months before the 2008 election electors were asking themselves, for whom should I vote? Those weakly and non-aligned to political parties had a choice to make and many chose to do the right thing for America. Seeing the acrimony caused by charges of racism in this country, and wanting it to stop, here was a chance to prove to everyone, and to the world, that this country was not racist. Here was the opportunity to show that the sentiments of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, who always claimed that white America did not give blacks a chance, were wrong and if the highest job in America was given to a black it would show all that America was not racist as they claimed.

Some Republicans reasoned that McCain was always working with the Democrats, always reaching across the isle, had the same sentiments with them as; large government, unenforced borders, easy citizenship for illegals, global warming, and judicial activism. Just how much difference was there really between them? Why not vote for Obama and get over this huge racist hurdle this country will have to jump eventually.

The Mah-ha-rushie (Rush Limbaugh) warned against this reasoning. He said that charges of racism would not diminish but would in fact increase. As he always says, he knows liberals and how they think and act. His major statement: "Don't doubt me" was added at the end. To my way of thinking he was wrong. Of course race relations would get better when all blacks would see that white America helped put a black into the presidency. It was obvious that any charge of racism after that could always undercut the person making it by saying: "Hey, not true, didn't we put a black into the highest job in the land?"

Soon after the election we discovered that any disagreement with Obama was racist. All presidents have their detractors and suffer some people that do not see eye-to-eye with them. But this was a new kind of politics, a politics where many blacks were given a deck of race cards to play. Those decks were not restricted to blacks but got wide distribution to white liberals who gleefully played them. Alas, Rush was right, it did get worse. Now, if you do not agree that Obama has a nice personality, a beautiful wife and family, is a great guy, has a good heart, has leadership qualities that no one has ever had before; well you are a racist.

And so here we are, four years later, with a country divided along race lines as never before, being faced with the job of telling him that he must go. We must tell him that there is not enough money to do all the things he wants do. We must tell him that we do indeed like out form of government and not the form that he has imposed. We must tell him that we like our presidents to like this Country as we do. We do this by electing his opponent.
