An Obama-Carter Reality Check

a hard hitting story ,Africa is behind obama

I"m a republican who will vote for McCain Feb 5, but on the other side of the aisle, Obama is my choice, and I will seriously consider him if he wins the nomination. Hillary's entitled assumption that being married to a president made her the best qualified to be president, that women would vote for her en masse, and that her long history of nepotism would somehow pass for experience is, thankfully, getting the scrutiny it deserves.

93jaguar has a point. His comment(s) indicate he cannot spell, has no sense of grammar or punctuation, he is clueless, racist and ignorant. Yup, I'm definitely voting for Obama.

You only need to look at his organization for the answer. These aren't disorganized, starry-eyed newbies; Everyone in Obama's campaign, from the candidate on down to the volunteers, understands that it is practical ingenuity and hard work that gets things done. They have shown both in spades, and there is no reason to think that they will not bring those same qualities to Washington. Experience? Try judgment.

The Carter comparison is completely appropriate: this year, as in 1976, the Democrats have the chance to put just about any qualified candidate in the White House. In '76, they ignored all of the experienced Congressional types incredibky giving the nod to Carter because of his inspiring message. Now with the chance to elect someone as dedicated, knowledagable and tough as Senator Clinton, someone who has actually knows how the government-- Congress AND the Bureaucracy-- works, many Democrats seem smitten by a charming young fellow who writes inspiring books and apparently spent most of his two years in the US Senate preparing to run for President. I want someone who can move the goverment forward; that's my idea of hope, not some vague idea of bipartisanship and good intentions.

Black, White, or should it be Tan? I suggest that we declare a moritorium on all this talk of Barack as a black man. We liberals would all be better off if we looked more analytically at Barack Obama for an explanation of his success. Look at his education: he excelled in the ivy league - even if he gained entrance by affirmative action, once there he showed his stuff!. Look at his career aspirations: he was a committed activist in his community. Look at his family: a stable relationship in which both father and mother are very involved with the children. Look at his wife: great education, career achievement, very articulate, family oriented. Look at his political positions: by and large in the mainstream for democrats (health care, coalition building, shifting tax burden only slightly, favoring most "programs"). And now look at his race: is he a "white man" with a black father? is he a "black man" with a white mother? I believe that the answer, in the eyes of most fair minded Americans, is that he is a man so much in the middle class mainstream by his background, his education, his personal aspirations, his family values, and his political positions that he is neither "black" nor "white". Let's be fair and, if we must use these racial color labels, then i suggest that we settle on "tan". Does this mean that we should have less hopefulness and enthusiasm concerning the wellspring of support Barack is enjoying? I say "absolutely not". But pack it in with all the silly talk about his being a "black" man. He's a wonderful and inspiring young political leader who I can vote for in the hope that he will be able to change the political landscape for my children and grandchildren to come. I am proud to have the opportunity to vote for our first "tan" man for President.

Don't forget folks, this is the same magazine that hired Karl Rove to write for them. I canceled my subscription, after 20 years, I no longer pay for a Newsweek subscription. Newsweek needs a boycott just to check their head to make sure it's on straight.

Oh Gosh...here goes the smear, is that Karl Rove behind that picture? Bringing up Carter's name to suggest Obama to have the same difficult issues is irresponsible. What would even make you say that? Better just to stick to the Bush Terror Rhetoric!

CHANGES, as in modifying our current status, are certainly welcome for most of us. Change is not automatically something to be feared. We've certainly changed for the worse at points in recent history. Obama in 2008.
