Barack for President! January 28, 2008

Times are changing and Barack Obama is that change. A well deserved change that took too long to happen but hey…what can you say? Barack Obama has so far won the Nevada Caucus and the South Carolina primaries. He is doing much better then i thought he would do, being a black man running for presidency. And people are  wasting their time talking about race is not an  issue…be serious race is still an issue in the minds of some/many people. Personally i don’t like Barack Obama because he is black . I like him because he stands for most of the things i stand for, he is sincere in his speaking and he seems like he can do a good job running the country regardless of his so called lack of experience. Hillary on the other hand i feel that she at times appears to be cut throat vicious. She seems like she will do anything to win and doesn’t care how she wins. Also i wish that some people would stop saying I’m voting for Hillary because of Bill. I have heard grown people say this, and it makes me wonder why they would say such a idiotic thing. If you are voting for someone because of their husband then you are wasting your time. Bill’s success in the white house has nothing to do with Hillary’s, and it shouldn’t even be compared.
Barack has a fresh, new approach to things and i think people should recognize that. Also the media try little things such as having breaking news headlines such as Baracks Middle name is Hussein! Or, saying things like he went to a school in the middle east…a school that supposedly taught terrorism, or saying idiotic things like, is he black enough? What kind of questions are these. Just because  he didn’t get the black vote right away means that he isn’t black enough…? That makes no sense. I guess they want him to be an African American stereotype ( which i wont name a steorotype because that just perpetuates them even more). Though some people cant get past the color of his skin alot of people have, and i will give them credit. Recently Caroline Kennedy decided to endorse Barack and also others have endorsed him clearly not because of his race but because of what he stands for. So props to them!

Lastly i just want to say that because of his race i also fear for his life. yes in the year 2008 i fear for his life because if he does become president he will need l an army of security surrounding him and his family at all times. The KKK is definitely on the rise and i am scared because of that. They are so ignorant but what can you say to ignorant people who claim to be Christians…….anyway…I fear for his life because also the “imperial wizard of the Klan”…..(what a joke)……. claims that if he does become president something will be done about that. Hinting that he will most likely be killed. So yeah that is why having a black president will be a well deserved change but is America ready…i don’t know….i know i am.

Are you ready?
