Don't you think Obama has been a real gentleman in all this scandal?

Question

I mean he has extended so many olive branches to John McCain on all these issues which have surfaced the last few days, being genuine and concerned about Palin's daughter and saying kids should be off limit in politics.

So why do people continue to say such horrible racist things against him in here???

Answer 1

It's political.  He can't throw stones while living in a glass house now can he?

Answer 2

Because their attitudes come from their family values and how they were raised , they don't know any better it's what they grew up with.

Answer 3

This is the forum for insane people. I came to peek in and sprinkle some tolerance dust on all. Smile be nice and CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG. WOO HOOO.  

Answer 4

Obama is a gentlemen. I'm glad he handled it that way.

Answer 5

Eve ... people on both side of the aisles say evil and horrible things ... I am not sure why ... what benefit does it derive anyone on this site to show no respect for these contenders ... it is just childish and immature

Answer 6

Barack O'Bama is a class act and so is his Vice Presidential nominee, Joe Biden.  

Answer 7

I agree.

I would like to say that John McCain would do the same ...

... but we all remember John McCain's famous Chelsea Clinton joke at a Republican fundraising dinner in 1998 (when Chelsea was 18 years old):

Answer 8

Kids should be off limits unless they are legal age and actively hitting the campain trail.  I just wish his supporters would listen to him and take a cue from him.

Answer 9

just because people speak agaist Obama doesn't mean they are racist. And Obama put his kids kids right into the media spotlight, his two daughters.  

Answer 10

Im a conservative, And yes I do respect his handling of this.

Answer 11

I'm not sure he's a gentleman...but I do think he's very smart...

Answer 12

That is exactly what he wants you to think alright.

If he was such a gentleman, then why did it take him 3 whole days to denounce all this c**p.  

Yeah.. some gentleman.  Wonder how long it will take him once the stories about him and his daughters start circulating????

Answer 13

They're desperate becuz Obama is CLEARLY the front runner

I'd be throwing stones at McCain like that too if i was scared Obama would lose

And it's true that her pregnant daughter should be off limits, she's going through enough

Answer 14

Yes, he has.

The Republicans are mud-slingers by nature because they really don't have any new ideas.

Obama's shown that he's a class act.

Answer 15

Absolutely, and Senator Obama consistently conducts himself like a gentleman..

Obama/Biden 08!

Answer 16

Yes he is.  Some will keep saying horrible things despite anything nice he does.

I'm still voting for him.

Answer 17

I think he has been very gracious about the whole thing.  I think he has shown a great deal of respect for Mrs Palin's daughter and all politicians should take a lesson from him.  I am still not an Obama supporter, but he has earned a bit of respect from me.

Answer 18

Racism is a way of blaming others for one's shortcomings.  

Answer 19

I never saw one racist comment about Obama, just ones based on his character flaws, the people he associates with, and his lack of experience.

Answer 20

Absolutely. Obama knows that he doesn't need mud-slinging in order to get elected, but when McCain announced Palin as V.P. , the first thing she did was to put Obama down.

Answer 21

I agree with you. That just shows the kind of person he is,  a good warm hearted person. People are just evil, luckily there is some good ones left. And now Lieberman against his own party (well, formally Democrat) as a Jewish person, I am very disappointed at Lieberman. Geez, how could he had said all those bad things about Obama?

He [Lieberman] sucks!
