I have yet to hear Obama say "Please vote for me, I'm black."

It was McCain who agreed he'd keep us in Iraq for the next thousand  
years.

I don't think there is a thing wrong with having pride in an  
accomplishment. The first person of colour (I'm just not even going to  
get into "halves" of anybody, please
 to have a real shot to win the Presidency would have to be inhuman  
not to be moved.

And I'd rather have someone who is proud of positive accomplishments  
than good at hiding, or attempting to try hiding,at what he's done,  
that's for sure. Our Vice President's Chief of Staff being
done for perjury and obstruction of justice should have been a wake up  
call, don't you think?



Cheers,

Moon
