Obama-nation

In the wake of the Reverend Wright controversy I need to point out a few things. First if Obama does become president, will the U.S. the be called an Obama-nation (abomination)? It will make sense won't it-having a President who is not only new to the world political field but also one who does not even have a basic understanding of economics, world issues, or free trade and is willing to sacrifice anyone who might impart a poor perception of him or even an innocent bystander.

My second point elaborates the last statement. When Obama gave his "greatest speech on race since Lincoln or Kennedy" the first time he addressed the controversy over "the Rev", he was willing to sacrifice his dead grandmother for the man. The woman who took him in as a child, made sure he got a good education, and pointed him the right direction so that he might run for the presidency was sacrificed for a non-relative who became Obama's "golden calf"-he idolized the man (and in my opinion, he still does). He called her a racist-this woman who "raised and sacrificed" for him-and hung her out for all the world to despise. A woman who is deceased and cannot deny these claims nor defend herself. The remark struck me as a spin off of the urban legend that attributes the same type of language to the Reverend Jesse Jackson that states that he said that when he heard footsteps behind him on a dark street that he was relieved when he turned around and found it to be a group of white men as a opposed to black youths that might do him harm. Did his grandmother really say those things to him? Who knows? But if you look at the fact that when he was being raised by his grandmother in the early 1970's, it was in Hawaii-HAWAII! How many blacks were in Hawaii in the early 1970's? The U.S. census for Hawaii lists a total of 7573 blacks living in Hawaii in 1970 or about 1% of the population-on all the islands. So, how much contact and situations involving fear of blacks could there possibly have been? Not many-if any.

The next point also deals with him throwing others to the wolves. Obama originally said "I can no more disown him (Rev.Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother..." Well, we've already seen him disown his grandmother and in his latest speech here in North Carolina he has totally disowned the Rev. Does that mean now he has also disowned the black community as well? That what it sounds like doesn't it? Obama did not look or act mad when he rejected The Rev-he looked more like a puppy who just got beat by the owner he loves but will come crawling back to him when the furor subsides. He does not reject The Rev, he is hurt by him but still has the idolization and admiration in his eyes.

I tend to agree with The Rev on one very critical point-Obama is a politician who must do what a politician does to get elected and stay elected. In spite of the rhetoric that Obama spews, he IS a politician-and a deadly one at that who is willing to throw family members as well as mentors to the lions for the sake of political gain.

If he is willing to do this while running for President (and running away from debates with Hillary), what (or who) will he sacrifice when he is President? The American people.
