The true problem for Mr. Obama (and before i get branded a racist I have a biracial marriage, my best boss ever was black as was my best friend in medical school and I would have voted for Mr. Powell or Ms. Rice in a heartbeat) is that he is:

1) not really for change - he has never bucked his party on a single major issue. He speaks of change but also has changed his mind recently on major issues such as oil drilling, the surge and his lifetime association with Mr. Wright and Mr. Ayers and others.

2) holds singuarily leftist views that are way out of touch of most of America, and even many of his party.

3) woefully inexperienced, without a single legislative accomplishment or life accomplishment except an 100% liberal voting record (when he bothered to vote)

Simply put, Mr. Obama should not be the next president, he is singularily unqualified and his views are dangerously one sided, from whatever party he represents - Mr. McCain is a far better choice, a true Maverick with experience and heroism on his side - unlike Mr. Obama who with 10-20 years of seasoning might have made a credible candidate.

I don't think your a racist, but I do think your a wimp for feeling you have to preface your argument with "hey everybody I have a black friend."

You sound like you're apologizing for your existence. Just because some dumbass author with an agenda tries to paint everyone who doesn't agree with him with the "R" word, doesn't mean you have to play along.

Bravo! By defending yourself, you admit that they even have an argument to begin with.
