He's not even black. He's friggin' multi-racial. That just goes to show you clear "black/white" tunnel vision type view in the media and by Americans in general. They'll go to any lengths to portray him as a BLACK MAN instead of a BLACK AND WHITE man. Ignoring the fact that he was raised by his grand parents, who are as white as white can be and his mom, who was gorgeous by the way, was white.

Instead they focus on his dad, who was from Kenya.

Whew.

If I wouldn't have gone over to my neighbors after that bottle of wine with dinner I would have been ok I think.

exactly. nothing to be added.

I'm glad I could contribute. It's fun to try to type fast drunk. I can slow down and get it right, but I was really entertaining myself last night seeing what came out if I just let it rip.

i guess i don't get your point. Are you blaming someone or just commenting on the sociopolitics of race in America?

I'd like to see some explanation of that. What is the party line? The President's agenda? It's not a secret that he's hawkish and largely agrees with what's going in in Iraq, which has been the predominant issue the last several years. Either way, he's ticked off a lot of conservatives on big issues at some expense to his candidacy and he can hardly be charged with marching lockstep. He also happened to mostly agree with Bush on how to approach immigration but that's again a coincidence and not uncommon for lawmakers in that region.

It was all in jest. I just don't get why people even care what he is.....well I get why....I just don't think they should.

But he's winning them back by doing things like siding with the Democrats in opposing Bush's tax cuts then turning around and making them a big part of his campaign and pushing to make them permanent.

Plus, Barack Obama is really hard to dislike. He's young, good looking, in good shape, extremely articulate, very intelligent, and he doesn't equivocate very much. It'll take more than the occasional mis-speak or overly candid moment to really hurt him.

You're underestimating Republicans, Geen! TDS had a clip last night of some guy who said that people can't connect to Obama because he's not the type of guy who would fit in comfortably at an "Applebee's salad bar." His intelligence and articulation will be used against him because Americans are supposed to want a President who gives us straight talk!

Joce: I don't think McCain is fake, I think he just has a very hard time connecting.
