Wesley, there are many who care. Barack is older than JFK when he became president, besides he is over 35 therefore he meets the age qualification. Apparently you prefer the experience and intelligence of GWB. LOL… so much for experience. I think it takes someone who is articulate, exhibts leadership/organizational skills, intelligence, vision and someone who is willing to listen to other opinions and ideas to be president. All of these characteristics I see in BO. Obama 08

Fact, Obama has changed his position on troop withdrawl. Fact, Obama lied and changed his position on public financing. Fact, Obama who once panned GW Bush’s faith - based programs now wants to expand it. Fact, Obama has dressed up like a terrorist for kicks. Fact, Obama refused to wear the flag of his country, now (under pressure and for politcial advantage, not pride for his country) wears it everyday. Fact, Obama cannot wait to talk to his carzy Muslim brothers. By the way that is the one thing he hasn’t changed his mind about. Fact, Obama is a Muslim fraud. The man cannot be trusted. He is a “sleeper” Muslim. He is change alright!

There will always be people like this everywhere in the world. Fortunately, they’re a small minority in this country, and everyone else seems pretty well aware of it nowadays. The only people who will believe any of that garbage are people who are not educated or just can’t face reality.

I would like to hear one candidate say they are going to rein in the oil speculators. They had a senate hearing week ago Monday and four experts stated that if they made the speculators put up the full amount of cash for the futures they buy the oil would drop to $60 dollars a barrel. The senators looked like a bunch of morons and acted as if the experts never talked. We have to get control of these obscene profit takers or we will go into a depression.

By my adding to this blog, I seek neither to entice your sympathy nor emotional reaction. I simply present these facts and perspective, which, heretofore, I have neither heard nor read.

To provide you a better understanding of my perspective, a little background is in order.

I left my city of birth, Manhattan, five weeks after 09-11-2001, so, I’m what some Southern folks call a “damn Yankee.” For twenty-three years I lived near the Holland Tunnel and just under one mile from the World Trade Center (WTC). During the day, one could not see the Towers’ windows, as they were not obvious to one looking at the structures. I would assume this was by architectural design. However, it was a different story at night when viewing WTC Tower One (the Northern tower, which proudly adorned the 350 foot-plus broadcast antenna) from my apartment’s airshaft window. This was because the buildings’ many floors of office lights could be seen shining through and I enjoyed my view of Tower One with the broadcast antenna’s flashing red beacon lights. I’m certain those driving from the other boroughs or from New Jersey at night, or any other apartment dweller would agree that to see those towers all lit up at night was a sight to behold. That fateful Tuesday morning from our downtown Westside apartment building’s rooftop, two building neighbors and I witnessed as the second jet plane came down from the sky. We HEARD the sound of its jet engines as they strained while the plane was directed behind its already struck and smoking northern relation, Tower One. In just fleeting moments, we HEARD that horrific crash as the jet tore through Tower Two’s upper stories of its one-half-mile high in the sky southern exposure and we recoiled, as we watched in horror, (as you watched on TV), as a giant orange-black fireball exploded in our direction against a rare New York City clear blue sky morning. On Thursday evening (09-13-2001) at seven, as I was about to enter 42nd Street’s Port Authority building, I witnessed what was to become the first of four bomb scares I would endure. I left Manhattan at 6:00 am October 21, 2001 and I haven’t returned.

While attending college in Pennsylvania in 1974, I turned 18 and registered for the selective service system and with the Democratic Party. However, in 1988, while producing Barry Farber’s nationally syndicated nighttime talk radio show, I switched and registered Republican.

Recently, I have listened to and watched the “Libertarian” candidate, Mr. Barr as he was interviewed on radio and TV: Neal Boortz (WSB-AM), Bob Grant (WABC-AM) and Chris Wallace’s interview (Fox TV).

I wrote the following article on January 30th of this year. Two days before Georgians voted in the Super Tuesday primary, it was published in Carroll County’s weekly newspaper, The Carroll Star News (February 3, 2008).

Don’t buy the book for its cover

During the pre-dawn hours of January 28th I had finished reading Jeff Zeleny and Carl Hulse’s article in The New York Times from which I excerpted the following quote: “After Mr. Obama won the Iowa caucuses, associates to both men said, Mr. Kennedy concluded that Mr. Obama had transcended racial lines and the historical divisions the Kennedy family had worked to tear down. Mr. Kennedy was also impressed at how Mr. Obama was not defined as a black candidate, but seen as a transformational figure.”

There, in my opinion, have been many American minorities (women and non-white persons) who have lived during the 20th century and beyond that could and should also rightfully take their place under the “transformational figure” umbrella.

Dating back to 1890, the United States has had many Presidents that were BORN in the southern states. All of these gentlemen held office from 1945 thru the moments preceding the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001. However, in my opinion, I do not believe Southern whites, and I speak of those individuals of the deep South: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, will be electing a black man to the office of President in this current political season or at any time soon.

It was a rainy Saturday morning in January 2004 during the occasion of Newnan, Georgia’s Martin Luther King Day celebration parade, where I caught my glimpse of a young smiling Georgian Congressional candidate as he went about shaking the hands of the local people who had lined up along the city’s parade route. His name was Dylan Glenn. Dylan C. Glenn is a black man. Before my having seen Glenn, the following excerpts from a January 8, 2004 The National Interest column by Michael Barone, entitled, “A New Black Candidate” appeared in U.S News and World Report Web Exclusive. Mr. Barone writes of three black individuals who were vying for political office, one, of whom, is Dylan Glynn.

*“Someone once asked me if I knew any black Republicans. “Sure,” I said. “I know all the black Republicans.” An exaggeration, of course, but the fact is that black Republicans in public office are scarce. With the retirement of Rep. J. C. Watts of Oklahoma in 2002, there are now no black Republicans in Congress. So it is interesting news that three black Republicans are running serious races for seats in Congress–all, as it happens, in the South. Godfather’s Pizza chain founder Herman Cain is running for the Senate in Georgia. Winston-Salem Councilman Vernon Robinson is running for the open seat in the Fifth District of North Carolina. Former Gingrich aide Dylan Glenn is running in the Eighth District of Georgia. But none has the support of the local Republican establishment or of the Bush White House. That’s understandable, given the ordinary rules of politics. The Georgia Senate seat, being vacated by Democrat Zell Miller, is almost certain to go to the Republicans; George W. Bush carried the state 55 to 43 percent in 2000. The North Carolina Fifth and Georgia Eighth are safe Republican seats: 66 and 69 percent for Bush in 2000. Naturally there are contests for the Republican nominations in these races. Cain, Robinson, and Glenn have primary opponents with well-known names, much local political support, and, in some cases, personal fortunes they are ready to spend. None is probably the favorite right now to win. Yet each would make an interesting member of Congress, and it would surely benefit the national party if one or more were elected.

“Dylan Glenn, a Republican staffer in Washington in the 1990s, returned to his native Georgia and ran for Congress in the Third District in 1998 and lost the primary. In 2000 he won the primary but lost 53 to 47 percent to incumbent Democrat Sanford Bishop. After the 2002 election he became Deputy Chief of Staff to Gov. Sonny Perdue. He resigned in September to run in the Eighth District when incumbent Mac Collins ran for the Senate. (Both the old Third and new Eighth districts include part of his hometown of Columbus.) Glenn is not so much of a firebrand as Robinson and does not have Cain’s financial resources, but he seems to have good political instincts. He also has tough competition, from House Minority Leader Lynn Westmoreland (endorsed by Sen. Saxby Chambliss) and state Sen. Mike Crotts.” “Glenn and Robinson are both running in districts with low percentages of blacks, and, in any case, they know they cannot count on many blacks voting in the Republican primary, just as Cain knows that not many blacks are likely to vote in the Georgia Senate primary. But it is not true that Southern whites are unwilling to vote for blacks. Andrew Young ousted a Republican incumbent in a white-majority Atlanta district as long ago as 1972. Roger Crowder, a black Mississippi State University agriculture specialist, lost the 2003 Republican runoff for agriculture commissioner by just hundreds of votes: a lot of whites clearly voted for him, and Gov.Haley Barbour argues that the vote split on regional, not racial lines.” “Cain, Robinson, and Glenn may be long shots according to traditional handicappers, but they are serious candidates–and examples of a trend toward a wider variety of black politicians. The 2002 Democratic primaries resulted in the ouster of two left-leaning incumbents with well educated, more moderate Democrats–Denise Majette in the Georgia Fourth and Artur Davis in the Alabama Seventh. Now we see conservative black Republicans making strong runs in the South. An encouraging trend, whatever the results.”*

What writer, Barone didn’t mention was Mr. Glenn also had the distinction of having served as policy analyst and an advisor to both Presidents Bush. Glenn, the younger of the two men would lose to Westmoreland, a former Atlanta-metro home-builder and Georgia state house Republican leader, in the 2004 run-off. Westmoreland would go on to defeat a woman Democrat in the general election to take Georgia’s 8th District U.S. congressional seat vacated by Mac Collins who would lose his bid to become a Senator from Georgia.

When it comes to our nation’s military, the Southerner has always answered the call to serve his country and most often times with distinction, though by speaking with him, the Southerner would quietly deflect the conversation to another topic.

However, if former Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell, a “man of color”, who also had the distinction for several years to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were the person running for office, would Southern whites be casting their votes for him?

One thing the late Senator Bobby Kennedy (Dem-NY) had that Senator Barack Obama (Dem –IL) has yet to attain is “seasoning.” Mr.Obama may be able to energize many people with what he says, but the question remains does Mr. Obama have the goods to make good on his rhetoric? In my opinion, many that saw new hope in the term of David N. Dinkins (Dem), New York City’s first elected black mayor, after the tumultuous events that surrounded the end of Mayor Edward I.Koch’s (Dem) third term, soon came to realize that Mr. Dinkins, who had been Manhattan’s Borough President at one time, was NOT the type of leader as his predecessor. I, as a man of color, am unwilling to cast my vote to help Mr. Obama attain the office of the presidency. The world is a far cry from the world of my childhood when John F. Kennedy (Dem) had run for President and I do not believe in my heart of hearts that Mr. Obama, without the seasoning of having stewarded his city’s command as mayor or having been elected a state governorship or had been a player in the world of business, would be able to step in and do the job at THIS point in time.

In 2008, the stakes are too high and I cannot place my faith in Mr. Obama’s candidacy.

On February 5th of this year, I voted for John McCain. This November, I’ll again cast my ballot for John McCain.

The libs cannot comprehend the fact that most of us who oppose Obama oppose him for his liberal policies, inexperience, and his lack of honesty. I wouldn’t care if he was a white guy.

Barack Obama’s campaign talks a good game about a 50 state strategy to win; but really who are they kidding? The Obama folk can work a closed Democratic caucus in a Western state like Utah to their favor, but there is NO way that Utah in the general election is really going to be won by the Obama folk. Or other similar states will be won by the Democratic Presidential candidate in November.

The hard truth is that any Democratic Presidential Electoral victory begins with the Democrats winning a foundation of wins in states such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts (like those lost by wide margins by Obama to Hillary Clinton). A loss in any of the Northeastern seaboard states or California that are the building blocks of a Democratic victory and it would be nearly impossible for Obama to ever make up those Electoral votes.

Don’t believe all of the hype from the Obama folk and his media supporters without looking at political realities for yourself.

It is Bush’s fault that the answers to our energy problems are here at home. It is Bush’s fault that the cry to Drill Here. Drill Now. is growing around the country.

Georgia Republicans went on the attack against presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama before he’d even arrived in the state on Monday.

In a conference call with reporters, Georgia’s two U.S. senators — both Republicans — blasted Obama on taxes, gas prices and the war in Iraq.

Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson said they want to let Georgians know about Obama’s voting record, which they allege is out of step with many Georgians.

Obama is arriving in Georgia for a fundraiser Monday night in Atlanta. He’ll then talk about the economy at a town hall meeting Tuesday morning in Powder Springs, a Republican stronghold in Cobb County.

First: It’s BLACK-AMERICANS, not African-Americans unless you recently came to America and became a US citizen. We all came from another country, except the true Americans; the American Indian, but I don’t know anyone of another race making the statement of where they’re heritage is from. Get over it all ready, if you are born here… YOU ARE AN AMERICAN PERIOD!

Secondly; We should vote for the person who will do the best job. I don’t see the need for party affiliation anymore. We should elect our representatives by popular vote, ‘Period’.

Yes, I live in Powder Springs, nice place to live. I even saw a KKK meeting once about 18 years ago while driving by a church. Haven’t seen one since.

Given BO’s background; muslim and atheist parents, won’t wear an American Flag pin, muslim name… I don’t see this man being the leader our country. Sorry folks!

Nor do I see any one else that I feel would make a great leader. The focus needs to be on our own country. Fix our own problems. I think its time to close the doors and look around our own doorstep and stay home for a while. Let some of the other nations take on 3rd world problems for awhile. We should be buying gas from the companys that are producing it from America, not getting it imported. Do that and we should see gas prices come down. Make the effort… I do.

I know Obama will win but even in the event that the election is stolen from him, it won’t hurt him as much as it will hurt the common family. I BET my life his children will go to college and be very successful people. He doesn’t have to worry about struggling to put gas in the car to get to work. If he gets sick, I’m sure he doesn’t have to make a sacrifice to go to the doctor. A vote for Obama is a vote for yourself. If you are so afraid of change that you would rather continuing to struggle in your daily life, vote for McCain.
