This Is An Outstanding Gospel About Current Politics!
This guy is preaching the gospel of truth in this video. He is laying out how blacks are treated unequal & uses examples from the current election. The fact that Sarah Palin is supposedly more qualified than Barack Obama although he is far more educated. For whites who really want to know how a lot of blacks feel, listen to this man. He speaks what most minorities know to be true. We know that John McCain & Sarah Palin don't identify with blacks. They haven't even tried to get a photo op with one single black. At least in past campaigns the presidential candidate would be snapped holding a black baby. I think that because Barack Obama is running they feel it's a lost cause. Most blacks have already pledged allegiance to the black candidate. But why haven't I heard anything about how a McCain/Palin ticket would help me? The generalizations & assumptions about blacks is racist. So take note,black people. Like the hispanics, you are just considered a vote. Promises are made only to get elected,not to be kept. John McCain has conceded Michigan just like he has the black vote. I really like this video because the theme is empowerment. That's something just having a black president will do. Don't call me racist for not considering John McCain's bid for president. He never showed any desire to get my vote. We elect those who we feel will improve the quality of our lives. It's the American way!

SNL Won't Be Able To Get Much From This Sarah Palin Appearance!
The main thing that stuck out was Sarah Palin's answer to what has to be altered in McCain's proposal because of the bailout? She said that nothing in John McCain's spending plan needed to be changed. I believe he said that he would freeze all spending when he became president. I don't think he said nothing would have to be stopped. Other than that, she did much better than I or anyone else anticipated. She stuck to her talking points. Joe Biden did not make any "gaffes" & made Barack Obama look good. McCain better pray that Sarah Palin makes him look more attractive to voters. She certainly did not convert me by being evasive but she wins points by sticking to her game.
Gwen Ifill Will Be Objective & Tough Because She's A Real Reporter!
John McCain has concerns about fairness. Nothing about his campaign has been fair so I find that to be quite ironic. Is this man a walking contradiction or what? No, he's just a hypocrite. Remember that he didn't think that race should play a part in this campaign? Well, the republicans have been the ones making Barack Obama's race a factor during this election. All of the racist paraphenilia (posters,emails, dolls, waffle boxes,etc...) have been associated with someone from the republican party. The campaign can disassociate themselves from the folks who distribute racist imagery & materials who are republicans. They cannot detach themselves from the racist ideology that is prevalent in the republican party.
Gwen Ifill has now had her integrity called into question because of a book she has written. It is not going to be released until the next president is inaugurated. What is the book about? All of the black politicians that have emerged in what she has branded the "Obama Age". The uproar is over whether she disclosed this fact before she was vetted to be the moderator for the VP debate. The claim has been made,mostly on Fox, that Gwen Ifill's book sales will increase if Barack Obama wins. So, she basically needs Joe Biden to be viewed as the winner of this debate. The belief is that if Joe Biden wins then Barack Obama will be the next president. Oh, please! What is the Fox channel's real motives in pushing this story? We all know they are not objective & that they support Mccain/Palin. So here's the real reason for all this hoopla over Gwen Ifill.
The real reason this became a subject of contention right before the debate is crystal clear. Sarah Palin's performance will either suck or breathe life into John McCain's bid for the presidency. It all hinges on how well she does. This outcry against Gwen Ifill is nothing but a play out of McCain's political playbook. If Sarah Palin can't answer the tough questions then blame Gwen Ifill. After all, she's written a favorable book toward Obama. The really nasty underlying insinuation is that she's on Obama's side because she's black. Even Gwen Ifill said that this assumption was not made about Lou Cannon who wrote a book about Ronald Reagan. She said she did not know if her race was at play here. She is just being a professional because we all know that's why. That just goes to show how diplomatic & objective she is as a respected journalist. Here's the link to the story on John McCain's concerns: (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/02/mccain-on-ifill-i-wish-th_n_131162.html)
