That's not to say that everyone who is a Obama follower is because of race, but certainly there are some... if not a large number who are. But more than this is the idea that in this country, one can point out something like this without fear of being labeled and libeled as a racist. In fact, Obama's own campaign enjoys saying that those who DON'T endorse him are rednecky, bigotted Arcvhie Bunker types. It seems that it's just okay for them to say this but if someone counters with the same logic, it is wrong. It's a shame that we have arrived here where the media endorses a candidate for President who so carelessly plays with the rights of the people. <em>Redoubt's last blog post..<a href='http://sincityq.com/blog/?p=1272' rel="nofollow">Resistance was futile?</a></em> I think the theory is basically sound.

Or lack of record. And the media are being easy on him because they're afraid of being branded as racist. And the racism scare is because Obama is Black. So, yeah, he's where he is because he's Black. <em>Basil's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/basilsblog/~3/250427841/' rel="nofollow">Ferraro was right</a></em> Obama is where he is because the media refuses to question, or downplays questions to, his record.

And the media are being easy on him because they’re afraid of being branded as racist.

And the racism scare is because Obama is Black.

So, yeah, he’s where he is because he’s Black.

But, I think he would be in contention anyway. He rose quickly in Illinois politics with the help of an oldtime politician and the Chicago machine. He delivers a good speech. He's fresh and has the attractive young family. He has the knack of convincing otherwise intelligent people that chanting and hoping will solve the problems of the world. I don't get it. As far as I can tell, he's still an empty suit. But I don't think he's successful only due to his race. But, what do I know?! <em>Karen's last blog post..<a href='http://ponderingpenguin.blogspot.com/2008/03/spivak-splains-obama.html' rel="nofollow">Spivak 'Splains Obama</a></em> I hear people (liberals) claim to support him because he’s black.

It's not only his race, it's his middle name and his origins. Remember, his name is Barack <em>Hussein</em> Obama, and his father was/is Muslim. That is also the reason he is in his position. oops...I wasn't supposed to say that in this PC world. :D <em>Eric's last blog post..<a href='http://poundofthoughts.com/2008/03/12/upcoming-live-blog-sec-tournament-game-7/' rel="nofollow">Upcoming Live Blog: SEC Tournament Game 7</a></em> She is 50% right.
