Herb you and I have talked about this a few times and its starting to scare me because I really think you are right about Obama not living much longer.  Indeed it will be 1968 over again.  First race riots, then people will take to the streets.  Its not going to be pretty.

If there was a King Harley Race Riot I'd be down.

is another kind of fear. Get over it, my brothers, and you can live free.

Quit livin' in the past, man! Futurize! Eyes on the prize! They use fear to control. And I fear that next year President Obama will google Mickey and send the Secret Service to investigate.

im not paranoid...i was just floored by the ramifications of asking the ss to stand down.......who profits from a decision like that....???

as a matter of fact..im thorougly enjoying the race.

It is a thing to be concerned about, the half-hearted security issue.

But the whole "he's gonna get shot" thing is, I dunno, a message that we don't need repeated.

Sam, all the latest polls say that if we get a young black preacher versus the old white Bush-hugging lobbyist-schtupper, then the black guy gets the most support. Numbers are close, but Obama would win if the election were today.

There is still plenty of time to tear him down, though. FOX just ran a poll that asked, who would bin Laden want to win. FOX viewers picked Osama, er, Obama, of course. These swine will be hitting him on his weird name, on false rumors that he reads the Koran daily and that he's soft on tearizim. Will they hit on race? They'll gently, subtly push some buttons (talk radio won't be so subtle), like the Clintons were doing.

I just suspect that the people who would never vote black would never vote Democrat anyway.

I understand where you're coming from, Sam. I grew up in rural Michigan, know what sort of people say what sort of things. But my memories of that go up to the Jessie Jackson run for office... "Don't worry, someone will shoot him if he gets too far," was pretty much the saying on the farm from the dumbshits who didn't vote anyway. Then I moved to the big city.

I think in the past 20 years we've gotten a new crop of voters who are honestly anti-racist, or who be willing, even excited, to put a brother in the White House. A qualified brother who seems to be a big-ass change from Reagan Bush Clinton Bush.

It's not going to be easy. The right has many more reasons than racism to stop him -- Obama's been using populist language, which really scares and pisses off the rich and powerful.

I'm white as bleached snow, so I can't really assume with any authority, but hasn't there been an attitude (there for a reason, centuries of reasons) in the black community that no matter what you do, someone whiter than you, or the whole system of whiteness, will shoot you down? So why bother to do anything to succeed in the white man's world? What if, in this case, this November, Obama gets elected? What kind of message will that send to not only the black community in the US, but to the rest of the country and the world? A little bit inspirational, no?

I'd vote for Obama if he were a woman as well.
