Could Obama do anything or have done anything in the past that would cause you not to want to vote for him? Obviously hanging out with terrorists, communists and racists isn't a problem for you.
There is plenty of time left for Obama to screw things up in such a way as to make him truly unelectable, but I doubt it will happen.
If he really hangs out with terrorists, don't you think these people would be in jail? Are you familiar with the Patriot Act, by the way? You can't even be a tree-hugger in this country now without being labeled a terrorist. Keep trying!

For the record:
A white man cannot produce a black baby and a black man cannot produce a white baby. The mother determines the race of the child regardless of the names we create such as "Mulatto" "Half Breed" and others.
Example: a child born of a Jewish woman is considered a full Jew regardless of the father's race .
In South Africa Obama would be "coloured"

On my business trips there, they were always amused at how we considered those we Americans call black were in their eyes "coloured" They claimed we had few if any true blacks living in America.

PART II: The conclusion of the ELEVEN ....
1. Obama is not a Marxist. He's a lawyer! Keep your smelly chubs off of his or anyone else's family tree.

2. Keep your smelly chubs off of Islam. As long as you're peddling Christianity instead, I see no difference. Either accept reason and empirical evidence over the visions of shaman or you're just another ugly witch doctor.

3. What kind of experience do you need to try something new? There's a story about old dogs and new tricks that comes to mind.

4. American health care is a stinking cesspit. Insurance fraud, waste and abuse guarantees that it will continue to be so. Drug companies bribing Congressmen ensures that Americans will continue to pay financially and as test subjects for new, ineffective drugs while the rest of the world profits from our suffering. If you don't want socialized medicine, fix the existing system.

Your gloom and doom doesn't impress me. If businesses want to survive, they need to reinvest their profits, not distribute them to the top 1% of managers and investors. That's how you avoid a capital gains tax.

Otherwise, before and after listening to the Silas Marners on this site, I'm convinced that our bean counters only want attention for their small fry business dealings and would be very happy indeed if the lower 1/3 income bracket of our country died outright from medical conditions.

Obama isn't likely to get his vision to come together. He's still taking shortcuts to achieve success. The idea is good but he has to name the root cause for what ails this country.

I can name it. The current generation possesses a vast immaturity about their place in the world. We are the inheritors of the post-WW2 windfall profits of our parents generation. We don't know what we can do to maintain the standard of living that we've grown accustomed to while keeping a respectful place in the world community.

Obama, like every other politician, isn't willing to identify the bitter pill that we must swallow before we regroup and get our affairs back in order. It's not going to be easy.

The oil economy that we've known all our lives is disappearing so fast, we won't see a trace of it twenty years from now. Imagine a world without cheap, throw-away plastics. Imagine our industrial systems returning to railroads and centralized, urban manufacturing in such a short span of time that our suburbs become lower income housing while our urban centers become the lifestyle of choice again.

Everything is about to change. You can't stop it. At least try to plan for it. And while you're at it, why don't you carry your smug, racial-purity a## out of here?!

Oh, yes! Speaking of tax write-offs, does anyone else think it's only common sense to allow them only for investments made in the U.S.? Let's REALLY put an end to rewarding robber barons for selling out our citizens in favor of Chinese slave labor.

Come on, Silas Marner! Give us all a group hug!

Depend where you live. In Cuba, the child takes the race of the father. There are people who look black but are classified white, and vice versa.
Huh?! That's interesting.

Really? If that were true, how'd he nd up in the US Senate? You must not know anything about how security clearances work, or how terrorists are classified, or about the Patriot Act! What are you so afraid of?

Ok, I see your game now. Call others who disagree with you blind and ignorant, while offering no valid arguments yourself, only empty ideology with no historical basis. You can disagree with me all you want, but if you cannot offer valid reasons for it, don't call me ignorant. I have offered reasons and facts to dispute your statements, and rather than answer with your own facts and reasoning when I point out your false ideology, you resort to name calling. Sounds like another racist American to me!

I am not voting for a Muslim, I'm voting for a self-proclaimed Christian American whose father had a Muslim name. Big deal. I'm not trying to convert anyone either, I'm just pointing out the fallacies of the Obama haters out there, so you can realize how uninformed you really are. I keep offering valid arguments against the ignorant, false statements of others, and for that I'm told to buzz off? Sounds like some of you don't like to hear the truth....
