Warming Up to Obama's Message of Hope and Change

by Larry Elder

For Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, the stars certainly seem aligned.

I someday would like to see a person of color elected President ... but not this man. He sounds like a lightning-rod salesman making specious, nebulous promises. What has he ever done that makes him Presidential caliber. The most important issue facing this Country is not the economy ... economies come and go and usually right themselves. The most important issue is National Security. You can like GWB, or not, but he has kept this Country free from attack since 9/11. Obama would appease terrorists ... his naivete shows clearly ... or could it be his emotional and spiritual ties to the Middle East. Reverend Wright outed Obama when asked why Obama was denouncing him, the good ole Reverend stated, Obama is a politician and he does and says what a politician has to do and say when he has to do and say it. I personally think Obama is worthy of a full FBI investigation. If he is elected it will be several decades before another Black person is even considered for the Job.
