>>>His Muslim name? His middle name? Are you kidding me? That is as low as it gets. 1#, he is not Muslim, and #2, what if he were? Do you realize you are slurring about a billion people by using it as a pejorative? A few thousand guys in Al Qaeda do not define a religion.

>>>I don't know that his whole church was racist. My understanding is it is the power church in the black community in Chicago. I agree Rev. Wright has some racist views. Whether you or I would feel the same way as an intelligent black man is a topic for another day. IAC, he is the one who said the things he did, not Barack Obama. Do you seriously think Obama is racist?

>>Mike, you are in the tank for Obama. You would vote for him no matter what. I guess it's because your family owned slaves once upon a time, and you figure if you vote for a black man, all will be forgiven. (just kidding) However, you do have the typical position of the liberal WANTING to vote for a black man, just because of what happened to them. Guess what, it happened to whites to. Get over it. Dr King said something about the content of a man's character, and that's why I'm not voting Obama. Where there is smoke there is fire. Sure there's smoke with all the politicians, but with Obama, theres fire.

>My reasons for supporting Obama have absolutely nothing to do with him being black. Half black, technically. (As Halle Berry said her mother told her, you may as well just say you're black because that's what they're going to think anyway). Yes, I am liberal -- especially these days -- but I don't suffer from liberal guilt.

>You still haven't found fire no matter how much smoke you think you see. He is as clean a politician as we have had in a long time.

>Face it, John, you don't like the color of his skin. I would respect you more if you admitted it and stopped making up excuses. There isn't much shame in it. It's going to be an adjustment for a lot of people to have a black President.

I'm not a real fan of grey, but the fact he calls himself a black man has nothing to do with my disdain for him. I've worked for black candidates, liberals, and democrats. Have you EVER worked for a Republican or a conservative? I didn't think so. You are part of the looney left, and I guess that's fine. We are diametric in our positions, Mike. But, I will always listen to your position, then give mine, I will never attack you because you believe in the tooth fairy and Obama.
