It's Senator Obama, John McCain! He's also "That One" When It Comes To The Presidency!
Did you hear the contempt in John McCain's voice during tonight's townhall debate?
He actually had the gall to refer to Senator Obama as "that one" instead of using his name. As an African-American, I am highly sensitive when it comes to racism. The failure to address Senator Obama by his name was deeply troubling to me. It was as if John McCain felt that it was an outrage that he had to share the stage with Barack Obama. Wolf Blitzer of CNN said "I think it's fair to say that Senator McCain has some disdain for Senator Obama." Well, I think that it is such an understatement to call his attitude disdainful. Senator McCain seems to harbor a lot of hatred for Barack Obama. He exhibits a feeling of intense hostility. He cannot bring himself to look at Barack Obama directly. Is he just a hateful man or is it something much more sinister at play? It's not hard for me to infer from his actions that John McCain is harboring racist feelings towards blacks. Can anyone share with me how he has helped minorities in his 26 years in the senate? Please leave me a comment if you can. I have researched his background & I have only found this disparaging article (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298397,00.html)
Ironically, I found this story of how John McCain was "unable" to attend a debate at a black college, Morgan State University on Fox new's website! Here is an extract of importance from that article,"The candidates answered questions ranging from what they would do to help minorities, their views on illegal immigration, the war in Iraq, minority unemployment rates and their position on capital punishment." I think that says it all when it comes to John McCain. If elected, he would make sure that he was never available for minorities. So, please don't speculate on how Barack Obama gains the support of blacks! refuse to live in a world of pretense. The reality is that John McCain has a certain kind of country in mind. It's similar to a traditional country club or the republican party.For the most part, blacks are excluded. The preceding video contains a CNN report on this very same issue. Except it deals with the entire republican party's disregard for the black vote. It's very revealing & supportive of my perception of John McCain.
