I have heard a lot about Obama lately, he is a Muslim, a socialist, conected to ism, deeply connceted to a horrible group that registers voters.

Response here:


Why is it then I haven't heard so many negatives about Mccain? Is it because I live in a "red" state or hang out with many Christians? Is it because of race?

How crazy would it be if the roles were reversed?

Things to consider when pondering race, education and character of our presidential candidates:

- What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

- What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

- What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

- What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

- What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car , when she no longer measured up to his standards?

- What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?

- What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

- What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

- What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

- What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

- What if Obama had trouble reading from a teleprompter?

- What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes? And was never given a command position.

- What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?

- What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from distribution?

- What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?

Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the world. I have already had eight years with a self-proclaimed "c" student.

Race isn't everything but it is a factor.

Character counts and both candidates have flaws, why is it that I keep hearing about Obama's?
