Obama is a well educated intelligent black Democrat.
This drives conservatives completely bonkers. They like third rate movie stars (Reagen) and business losers (Bush) and complete idiots (Palin). Apparently they like someone who matches there own capabilities to be our president.

No. Obama is a smooth talking narcissist who hasn't done jack squat since he got in office except talk. I say give Zero the boot and elect Thomas Sowell in his place.

Sowell was born in North Carolina. His father died before he was born. In his autobiography, A Personal Odyssey, he recalled that his encounters with whites were so limited he didn't believe that "yellow" was a hair color. He moved to Harlem, New York City with his mother's sister (who, at the time, he believed was his mother). Sowell attended Stuyvesant High School, but dropped out at age 17 because of financial difficulties and a deteriorating home environment.[2] To support himself he worked at various jobs, including in a machine shop and as a delivery man for Western Union. He applied to enter the Civil Service and was eventually accepted, which prompted a move to Washington DC. He was drafted in 1951, during the Korean War, and was assigned to the US Marine Corps. Due to prior experience in photography, he worked in a photography unit.


Bio on Thomas Sowell
After discharge, Sowell passed the GED examination and enrolled at Howard University. He transferred to Harvard University, where in 1958 he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. He received a Master of Arts in Economics from Columbia University in 1959, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell initially chose Columbia University because he wanted to study under George Stigler. After arriving at Columbia and learning that Stigler had moved to Chicago, he followed him there.[3]

Sowell has taught Economics at Howard University, Cornell University, Brandeis University, and UCLA. Since 1980 he has been a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he holds a fellowship named after Rose and Milton Friedman.[4]

If the Republican party can get its act together and nominate an intelligent guy like Sowell, that would be good for the country.

Yeah, I gues I have a consurvatev gene when it cums to spellig.

Actually it's my liberal genes that give me the most trouble. I believe when politicians go to Washington they will be honest and do what is best for the citizens of this country. They will not be bought off by the military/industrial complex. They will not be bought off by the drug companies. The Republicans and Democrats will band together in times of crisis to solve the countries problems. They will avoid backbiting and petty lies to further personal political advantage. So you see my problem, how naive can you get?

Unfortunately, our elected representatives and legslators, Democrat or Republican, do not give a damn about the rest of the populace.

These 2 quotes sum up America today:

"Only a few prefer liberty;the majority seek nothing more than fair masters"-Sallust

"A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money"- Alexis de Tocqueville (economic "stimulus" plan anyone?)
