Why Do I Feel That The Majority is against Obama?

Question

I don't like the fact that the majority is favoring Mc Cain and His Side Kick Palin. Who the h**l is she anyway? Who cares that her young daughter became a mother at a young age? What about the Things that really matter like Is she strong enough to Run an Entire Country like The United States? I hope that people see the real side of Them before they make their final decision. I hope that Obama WINS. Give the man a chance. I think the big issue is with him being black. It's time for a big change. I'm sorry Hilary didn't get much of a chance.

Answer 1

The issue is not about race.  Please wake up.  Who cares if he's white or black?  What about the things that really matter like does he have any executive experience?  NO.  HE  DOESN'T.  But Palin does.  She ran a city.  She ran a state.  

You don't "Give somebody a chance." by electing them to the most powerful position in the world.  For that, they have to show a resume - Obama has none to show.

Answer 2

I completely agree with you. He's young, new, and fresh and we need someone with new ideas. True he doesn't have much experience but that's why he has Biden at his side, who has much experience in Congress and foreign affairs. McCain is a good opponent but ones like we've had for 200 years before. Time for change, and its now...I hope Obama wins too and I hope he turns this country around

Answer 3

I think just the people on Yahoo Answers are. Obama is in the lead according to polling and the country will probably (hopefully) elect him since the last 8 years of Republican leadership haven't gone so well.

Answer 4

It may be because many white voters will find it impossible to vote for a black man and fear putting a minority in charge.

Answer 5

You're obviously childish if you think the "big issue" is Obama being black.

That has nothing to do with why I'm not voting for him. The big issues with him are his lack of experience, how he's condescending to the middle class americans, who he associates himself with etc etc.. (&& he's bi-racial, not black)

I'm not voting for McCain or Obama.

These choices both suck ***.

Think before you say something ignorant.

Answer 6

It's just because of the RNC.  The McCain lovefest will be over soon.

Answer 7

The American people will not support socialism,sorry he will lose.

Answer 8

The big issue is not about him being black.  Not at all.  Welcome to the 21st century.  It's about him having ivory tower ideology with no realistic approaches as to how he plans to implement it.  It's about him having communist foundations.  It's about him being in support of killing babies.  It's about him reestablishing inheritance tax, increasing capital gains, income, and dividend tax, and adding a new gas tax.  It's about him voting against English as the official language of this country.  It's about him taking away our right as citizens to own guns, and thus self-protection.  It's about him only having served ~173 days in senate, whereas McCain has served 22 years.  It's about him supporting immediate withdrawal of troops from a country in which we are currently building a democracy.  It's about him giving free social security to illegal aliens, which US citizens are paying for.  It's about him not being in support of offshore US drilling, something that would save us from spending 55.1billion on foreign gas a year.  It's about him refusing to wear an american flag pin on his lapel, and it's about his wife proclaiming that "America has done nothing for me."

As Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Thus...it's about them having a their priorities in the wrong places.

So...the issue people have with him is not about him being black.  It's about him being mockingly unpatriotic and unrealistic.  And Marxist.  

Unfortunately, the majority is not against him.  The ignorant majority is for him.  He does, after all, give beautiful speeches from his teleprompter.  

Answer 9

Republicans are putting up a big smoke-screen/diversion with sacrificial lamb Palin. They are distracting us from the real issues: the qualifications of the candidates. So let's get back on point.

Let's first look at McCain's record: 72 years old; graduated from the Naval Academy #894 out of 899 students; fighter pilot; Vietnam War POW returning in '73. He met Cindy in '79 and in April '80 divorced his wife, a former model who had been disfigured in an '69 auto accident while he was overseas; married Cindy in May '80; having become known as a combative, maverick, "partyman," he retired from the Navy in '81 and entered Congress in '82 where he's been ever since; he was part of the Keating Five scandal in the '80s. His wife Cindy, founder of the American Voluntary Medical Team, became addicted to painkillers after back surgeries and the strain of the Keating Five scandal. She was caught illegally obtaining the drugs before entering a rehabilitation program.

OK; a short test: Name three accomplishments of Mr.McCain...BEEP; time's up.

One might have said "McCain-Feingold bill" but his GOP party vilifies himfor that. Or perhaps for calling out the George W. Bush campaign for that notorious mudslinging campaign in 2000 -- but his GOP turned their back on him then. Or for opposing a national King Day holiday -- but he was rebuffedon that also. All this doesn't say much for Mr. McCain's leadership qualities. He has no business experience, no executive experience.

Now, let's look at Obama's record: 47 years old; Columbia grad ('83;

political science with international relations major) and Harvard Law School('91; juris doctorate magna *** laude; also editor of Harvard Law Review); taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago; community organizer; civil rights lawyer; Illinois state representative and U.S. Senator from Illinois; born in Hawaii; parents separated when he was 2 years old; one wife, who was a corporate lawyer; both paid off their student loans as agreed; Mr. Obama has a reputation as composed, intelligent and articulate, played by the rules, earned his way up. What would be wrong with an intelligent and articulate President -- for a change?

I'm an over 55 white woman and I will vote for Obama, as will my husband and two daughters, my sister, her husband and her daughter!
