Rob, you are of course entitles to your interpretation of why someone
other that yourself might do things, but I must correct you on just a
couple things. First of all, my opposition to OBama has absolutely
nothing to do with his skin color. I also resent the insinuation that
you make, saying that that is the reason I so stoutly oppose him. It
is his politics, and his beliefs. I could very easily vote for
Powell, Thomas, Rice, and countless other people whose skin color
differs from my own.
I would have no problem with my daughter getting married to someone
whose skin color differed from hers (and mine). The one requirement I
would have is that he loved her, and would treat her well. I would
have the same requirement for ANY potential beau.
Secondly, don't blame the bailout on Republicans. Evidently, you need
to be reminded of who runs the oversight committees, and the
legislative branch of our beloved federal government. That would be
Democrats. When blame is earned, place it where it squarely belongs.

With all the Republicans have done and are still
doing (the $85b bailout, how much have the
Republicans spent on 'welfare' in the last two
terms? Talk about corporate welfare!) why are
some so against the Democratic candidate?
