OMG i am shocked. this is vitriol and nastyness of the LOWEST order.
ray, these same things you twist about obama and his mom are the very same things which, to me, make him IDEALLY SUITED for understanding and governing modern america. we are no longer all white ppl descended from the Mayflower. This nation is made up of many and varied races and cultures and we are ALL Americans. someone who has had the advantage of living in several countries as a child, has the unique perspective of multi-cultural understanding, appreciation of varying racial & cultural perspectives, and a global-thinking mindset. That is precisely what makes Obama much better at addressing global issues, and understanding foreign policiesy and perspectives.
McCain addresses the nation as if the only ppl he needs to speak to are the small-town white straight people; as if they are the ONLY ppl in this country - or at least the only ppl he finds worthy of addressing in his ads and speeches. He, just like Dubya, completely ignores the fact that a HUGE part of the USA is multi-cultural, nut;li-racial, and multi-ethnic. These people are the ones who make up America now, its not just straight white men anymore, and Obama INCLUDES these parts of the population. McCain just ignores them, just like Dubya did with the ppl of New Orleans in Katrina......
but guess what, they are not going to go away, immigrants and ppl of color and culture are a major part of our population now. McCain doewsn't even acknoweldge their existence - and Palin is even WORSE with her use of racial slurs IN PUBLIC. the 2 ah dem have no effin clue how to deal with anyone who is not white.
