ORIGINAL: sub4hire If he doesn't win..I believe there will be riots as he has infused race in every chance he has had. You don't agree with his tax plan or anything else you're racist. This trully is a matter of your seeing what you want to see as opposed to the facts. Obama knew he could not use race as a platform to run on because he knew/knows that means automatic loss. He is a brilliant human being who understands the issues facing this nation. Many people aren't aware that he himself has some conservative leanings (read his books if you really want to know). No, I did not decide he was likeable because he's good looking, and interracial. When I heard him address the democratic convention in 2004, and my hair stood up in reaction to the concilliatory (this nation is not divided) message he delivered, I had no idea it was an intterracial/black man standing there speaking, until I looked up. http://www.scoop08.com/obama%2526%2523039;s-academic-background-could-influence-court-picksquote:
He graduated with honors from Harvard University Law School, where he served as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Following his legal education, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights attorney and to teach Constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Professor Lazarus recently called Sen. Barack Obama "a disciple of Harvard Law's Laurence Tribe and a Constitutional scholar in his own right." He has the academic background/degrees to prove his bona fides, and he has written books speaking to the issues facing/breaking this country. It is true that no matter what he does and says, some folks will never vote for him, but that isn't his problem. I want him to win because I think this country is in desperate trouble. I will however, not lose a moment of sleep if he doesn't win, because some folks in this country are trully, insanely racist, and I for one, don't want to revere one more dead black hero. M
