PREPOSTEROUS

Now they say "he is winning because of who he is"..... Get a load of that crap. I never knew it was advantageous to be recognized as a black man in America, especially when running for President of the United States of America. I had it all wrong for over 30 years. Theres no way in hell, that being black (caucasian mom), having a name like Barack "Hussein" Obama, and having a relatively short Senate career, is an advantage... No way what so ever!!!!!!!!!!

Although those were not Sen. Clinton's words, she has made references to his "groundswell" of support, and the country's "love affair" with his campaign in the past as well. Fact of the matter is, the country is in bad shape right now. People are struggling to keep their finances in order, our leaders authorized an unjust war, and the rich just keep getting richer, meanwhile, the cost of living continues to spiral upwards.

Gas prices affect almost every facet of an individuals budget, and soon we will see $4.00 a gallon, while the Oil barons are raking it in at an all time high. Gas prices were at $1.47 just eight years ago. If we see $4.00, that will be almost a 200% increase during this Presidents tenure. Meanwhile, OPEC is adamant there is no oil shortage, and they refuse to increase production. So you do the math, what do you think is driving up Energy prices? Answer: Speculators, Greed and Corruption. Is this what the GOP meant by trickle down economics??? I guess things will start getting better when their troughs are full, but I am afraid a greedy person's trough is never full enough.

Fact of the matter is, Sen. Obama is thriving only because the sitting President has done such a bad job, and he was reelected on the platform of fear mongering, but people are tired of being scared now. They want our leaders to lead again, honorably. They want someone who is articulate, intelligent, and willing to "TALK" to others in order to start providing answers to the difficult situation a lot of Americans find themselves in today. They want someone who has clearly steered cleared of the "politics as usual" mantra... You know dirty tricks, smear campaigns, etc etc.

Last week one of his campaign members called Sen. Clinton a "monster" and she was quickly fired. He is not without fault, but he clearly displayed that he is a man of his word, and those type of attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe some feel as though he hasn't been vetted yet, but in comparison to what we have been experiencing over the past couple of years, he represents the best chance for REAL CHANGE. Some may disagree, and that's the beauty of America. Time will tell if America is ready for a black President, but I know one thing we're definitely not prepared for, and that's more of the same.
