I just hope not many of you work in the pharmaceutical field ... we won't have much of one since obama wants to make it all in the government to regulate prices... so much for being a pharmaceutical sales rep. He does have some good ideas and anything is better than bush i guess....

^ this is true, but I also think it's true that our government has just gotten stale and antiquated. Enough is enough is all I'm sayin'. Throw a young white guy in, I don't care really, but I have yet to see a young white guy who is a viable candidate #1, and #2, I believe that having a Commander in Chief that is NOT an old white guy, particularly one who is female or just not-white will offer a fresh perspective that this country has been missing for a long time. The days of the 13 Colonies are long over, and while there are still regions that are predominantly white, we as a country are comprised of so much more than its white anglo-saxon protestant founders. I just think we need accurate representation of this country. 200+ years of old white guys is not a balanced representation of the people of this nation nor does it offer a balanced perspective as to the needs of this country. In my opinion, at least.

I am neither an Obama fan or Mccain. I really have no idea who I would vote for in the upcoming election. Now my question for all of you who are Obama supporters: What are his policies and what does he stand for? And please do not give me the whole: he is not George Bush (because that got John Kerry oh so far)

I dont' think it matters what the presidents race/sex/age is, just his agenda. By classifying people in that way aren't we stereotyping? Anyways I hope Obama wins mainly because I dont' like McCain.

once ya go black....

Yeah, and if Obama becomes president, what are the Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's of the world going to do? They will have nothing more to fight for - their ultimate wish came true - a black leader in the highest position. I def. prefer Obama over Hillary.

oh there is still PLENTY to fight for. complacency will do an individual in.

Obama sounds like a terrorists name

And i swear to Bob, I will B!tch Slap the Sh!t out of the next black person to start crying racism just because that individual is in the wrong. I'm not aiming that at all black people, but (and all races, we have our good folks, and our bad) and the bad folks of any race will find any excuse that works to get out of trouble. We all know that. But with a black man in office, the excuse "Racism" will officially be canceled.

BOY ARE YOU WRONG! it might get worse! there ARE resentful people in teh world. and the fact that obama is in office will NEVER erase 439 years in captivity. racism lives. and always will. things are just MUCH better now, and the thought that because a black man is president will cancel racism or the excuse of such is a VERY dangerous thought. BUT i understand where youre coming from. black folk need to up their game if thats what youre trying to get at

the saddest thing is that some people are going to vote for him just 'cause he isnt white. Gotta love how racism works on so many different levels. Hopefully everyone is voting on their stands on issues and not because one is an old white man and a black man.

lol. It's true. It works in EVERY direction.

Although, the type of people that would consider attempting to assassinate some one (crazy inbread racist hillbillys) actually like Bush.

I have to say I don't like ANY of the candidates for president. So I'm 99% sure I'm not voting in November.

If Hillary became president I would have moved out of the Country.


What I don't understand is why we have to dwell on the past so much. Yes African Americans were slaves once. It was a long time ago and people are still holding some grudge over it. All races have experienced racism at one time or another. I mean even women were treated like inferiors and you don't see the majority of women dwelling on it.

I personally hate Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. They try to turn EVERYTHING into a racial issue when it isn't. That just bothers me. I think they cause more harm then good.

And NO i am not trying to start and argument so if you have something rude to say don't waste time typing it as i will not respond and it will make you look like an ass.

I agree with you, but you have to admit that the presidency was pretty much the last thing that black people and women were not allowed to accomplish in life. I hope that this election puts the last nail in the coffin on this subject.

I for one would be VERY happy to see all pharmaceutical sales reps die a slow and painful death.
I hate the way modern medicine is being marketed and pushed on doctors and patients by these people. Obama's health plan would actually benefit sick people, while the sales reps just try to rob them.

My people built the pyramids, so I've got ya all beat where the slavery thing come into play. (just joking)

As for Obama's policies and what does he stand for? Policies on what? That's kind of vague. So here's my answer in a nutshell. Albeit this is according to his campaign; personally, I take what they all say with a grain (okay, a pillar) of salt.
- Bitchslap corporate lobbyests/special interest groups (McCain w/his ties to Anheuser-Busch can't say that)
- Universal Health Care (blah blah blah, we're not Canada and it's not going to work in our current system IMO, although it exists in Oregon and it works *fairly* well)
- Lower healthcare costs (see above comment)
- Tax cuts for us lowly middle class who make under 200k a year
- Amend NAFTA among other changes to repair our miserable economy
- Social Security reform, education reform, energy consumption reform


I could keep going but you get the picture. I'm not going to get into details about how he plans to enact these reforms either, because that's just too long really. But if anyone's interested, I'm more than happy to supply sources so you guys can do your own research and make educated and informed decisions. It's really not just about picking the guy who isn't a stuffy old white guy as far as I'm concerned. It's about picking who I think will most likely affect change here. I genuinely and thoroughly believe in our country and our constitution. But I also believe it's been distorted and perverted to the benefit of the pockets of others. I'm just ready for someone to give our government a swift kick in the ass! I don't care if it's a Republican or a Democrat or Ralph Effin Nader (yeah, right! LOL), it just needs to happen!

^Ron Paul would be your man, than.

I said the "Excuse" will no longer being tolerated. Not to be confused with a "Reason"

Reason = Why
Excuse = Why Not

But i understand your defense. And it's not just "black" folk who need to "up their game" it's stupid and lazy people. All races have some of those


x2 with both of you!!
