I didn't really think Coach or Tim are speaking from a racist perspective, so I apologize to each of you. I am reading editorials that do assert that many people, amny more than we might have thought, just can't get themselves to vote for a man whose skin color is black.
I used the word dumb nigger, asserting Obama was not one. I understand black comediens who have used the term nigger in reference to a subset of the African-American population. Obama is not dumb, he isn't even a nigger in even the more racist comprehensive view of the word. He stands apart from the African-Americans(I term I do not like at all , am I then a Euro-American because my ancestors came from Ireland?). He's a true African-American, born of a Kenyan father and a white American mother. Raised in Hawaii and with a great, well rounded education, he is so unlike the rest of the black population in this country that even the ass Jesse Jackson had to cut him down.
Despite being the most interesting candidate we've had since J.F.K., Obama still can't get support of the black politicians or the Clinton brigade

I would welcome a qualified,dignified BLACK candidate.....Obama is not that candidate. And if by some figment of sci-fi reality he should get elected....we won't have another anytime soon....thay's how bad I think he is! How is obama interesting....we're not talking flavor of the month here....it's the Presidency! This yokel will be responsible for so much and will have to lean on the same tired old guard that saddled us with the current Congress(whos' ratings are below Bushs) That's the scenario that scares me
