I dunno Sage.  The blacks here in Calhoun are very different from the
blacks in Atlanta.  Here, most are Republican.  I only know she voted
for Obama because she wore a pin, but c'mon it is Obama's year, she did
not even need a pin.  You may have seen the Obamamessiah youtube scene
that was posted a few days ago.  I didn't, but I have seen similar
things on the Atlanta news. Many people, mostly blacks, think that Obama
will literally save them, that they will no longer be responsible for
anything financial.  I'm sure some will laugh at that youtube video, but
it is not funny.  These people are going to be very, very angry when he
doesn't deliver or live up to his Messiah image.  He certainly has done
nothing to dissuade that either.  When I first saw the lady being helped
over to the booth, I almost had tears in my eyes, for her hope was
genuine and real.  After so many months of words, she put a face on
Hope.  Then, I got pissed,,,I felt like cursing Obama, because I wanted
to protect this woman from disappointment.  I feel like he has used his
race as a tool, just as he has used religion.  It really makes me mad,
and some people, like the lady I saw today, don't deserve the
disappointment from crushed hope.
I know I am at odds with so many of you regarding Obama, and I really,
really don't mean to be offensive right now, but I honestly hope that I
am wrong about him, and that you all are right and perhaps better judges
of character than I am.  He has flip flopped and changed up so many times...
But I have resigned myself to the fact that it is inevitable-that
eventually we will say President Obama.  If it doesn't happen this time,
then it will happen in 2012 or 2016.  Perhaps once he gets into office
the rest of the Democrats will put the brakes on his socialistic
tendencies.
Obama or NObama, one thing is sure...things will never again be the same.
