Should we just make Obama president already?

Question

Don't we owe to the brutha?

It's 2008! I for one am more than ready for someone other than mighty-whitey running this country!

Answer 1

people like you should lose the right to vote

Answer 2

The Black hype is just media mania.  Yes, it's historical.  Yes, Hilary/gender is historical.  But really, most Americans simply choose the candidate that best fulfills our preferences.

I was a strong Clintonite AND I support, actively, electing women to public office including the White House.  However, in this election I am supporting Obama.  Not because of race,gender,religion or any other label.  To me, he is the best candidate for the office of President.  He has grace, class, a desire and ability to unite and uplift our country -regardless of partylines or other divisive labels.

My highest hope though is that the election is clean and that the will of the people is upheld, regardles of who is elected.

No more stolen elections!

Answer 3

So, because a non-white or a woman has never been President before, we just "owe" it to them?!!

This isn't the selection of a Prom Queen or King, this is the leader of the free world we're talking about here!

try again when you have something intelligent to add.

Answer 4

I have never considered voting for someone based on race or gender, but then again I have never supported affirmative action either.

Answer 5

We DO NOT owe him anything - or any other 'brutha'.

Answer 6

If this race isn't about race what makes you think that just because his skin is black that he will be better than all the white people.... he could be EXACTLY the same or worse...

and so could everyone else running and everyone else who will ever get in office...

Answer 7

YES.AND HIS VICE-PRESIDENT IS HIS PREACHER OF HATE MINISTER.
