As bad as things are...no I don't believe she REALLY WANTED it...White people....I won't say all...but at least the elitists are some of the sneakiest folks, especially when it comes to politics....so we really don't what they're sneaky triflin asses are plotting......Look how badly the economy has crumbled since Obama has become the Democratic Candidate...food prices have skyrocketed...gas is effed up....it's exactly what they wanted to happen to help continue to prove that a black man isn't equipped to run our country....... But I am 100% sure that Obama can and will prove them all wrong.....he has my vote. *Takes deep breath*
BS I don't mean no harm but I cannot disagree with you more. First of all, the only thing that a politician with power wants is MORE power (and to some degree peer worship). There was not a politician in the field - spending the kind of money that they were spending to PRETEND like they wanted to be President when really they were secretly trying to "trick" Obama into seeking the President. That is conpiracy theory grade nonsense.
The goal (for the more jaded politician and/or capitialist) is to trade money for power later, or power for money later. There is rarely deviance from this model. Under Bush Pharmaceutical companies got the bill they wanted. Oil companies got tax breaks and a built in excuse to gouge the consumer. Insurance companies got the bankruptcy reform that they wanted. Energy companies basically set the energy policy for the Bush administration (recall the closed door meetings with Cheney) and let's not forget that Halliburton got those contracts in Iraq. Everyone who was with George Bush got filthy rich over the last 8 years. Even his own buddies. Remember the big scare about Bird Flu? Haven't heard much about it lately but guess who owned stock in a company that supposedly had medicine that could lessen the severity of that flu.

These things are not by accident, and people who are accustomed to having both money and power - do not willingly give up either under the guise of trying to stick someone else with the "bag". Cause the truth is, most of what is going bad, has gone bad under Bush and is attributed to Bush. And even if it wasn't - they would just lie and say it was.
The next President has nowhere to go but up, and a scapegoat he can blame for all that's wrong. They have far better other ways to show that black men aren't equipped to run the country. For example: they could broadcast BET on standard cable and that'd pretty much do the trick.You are absolutely right...... I obviously wasn't looking at it from this point of view.....but you definitely have me singing a different tune....I guess I'm generally worried about Obama....I just want things to go well for him...so I'm already expecting B.S. from the government.....

If you have concrete ideological differences with Barack, I'm cool with that. Wouldn't vote for ANYONE just based on their race. But don't be like some in the civil rights generation who hate on Barack just because he didn't march with Martin like they did. Don't be a hater like Tavis who's mad because he wanted to be the torchbearer for the new generation. Judge any man on his heart, his qualifications, and his potential ALONE.
Oh and while I'm ranting, is it our place to deny Barack the do the long thought impossible because we fear for his safety or reputation (not being able to right this extremely effed up ship)? Shouldn't he make the call on whether the risks are worth it? And for the record, I know you guys are just saying some feel that way, not echoing personal biases that would keep you from supporting him.
*exhales*
