I'll be the first to admit that Obama is not this messiah people make him out to be but I don't really understand the notion that his supposedly being
an "icon" is giving him such a great advantage and is the main reason why he is getting so many votes. If anything polls show a completely different
story. In a year where democrats should win and where overall the Democratic brand has large leads over the Republican brand, Obama is only ahead by 6.
He's actually doing worse than a democrat should be this point in time. I'm sure some will explain this by Mc.Cain being a "maverick" by the
way it looks right now, IMO, Obama has a very large chance of losing the election in November so all this talk about his icon status being some sort of
hypnotizing factor that translates into large vote gains for him seems to be way overblown and just a talking point to try to downplay Obama.

You know what fights their plans? Independent thinking. Obama, even if he is working for those cats, is still an independent thinker, no matter what you may think he's flopped on. I mean really, take a second to look at his stances. Gun control? That D.C. gun ban really was beneficial to the District, but it really was unconstitutional. Of course the right choice was the choice that would logically be tossed by the Supreme Court. If they banned guns there, they'd have to do the same across the states and then dumb white people everywhere would start stockpiling, starting up malitias and such yelling "They wanna take our guns! That's our right!!" That's just an example, but the point is this: Obama is doing nothing different than John McCain. McCain has changed
his own opinions in much broader ways and more often than Obama since his last run for pres where he got smashed by his then-nemesis and now best bud
Bush.
I think alot of people are just cynical because as much as there's bad @+#* going on and as much as the white man really does use trickery to get us into a corner, that alone has alot of us thinking that we can and will never do good simply because we're just sitting around waiting for the New World Order to come in and take over. Why not just do what we can and keep it moving until what we feel the inevitable happens? Why not throw some trust into the Black man running for president who is obviously the better choice than this old crazy white guy who's only credential is that he was a POW in Vietnam? That's all I'm sayin. |

It's good to know the unintelligent can come to NT and type out a long post of nonsense and feel smart for a little bit.

Isn't this what you and Joe Camel were arguing about? You saying that Obama's image is not garnering attention and votes, while Camel saying the opposite. If so, you just went back on your own claim. Without saying if it is good or bad, for anyone to claim that Obama's image is not worth more attention/votes/media then McCain or other presidents is ridiculous. Lets consider why he got such a large turnout in Germany: He is a Illinois senator - nope. He is a presidential hopeful - possible, but that would mean that McCain would, in theory, gather the same crowd. There has to be a new president this year, so then why would Obama (presidential hopeful) presumably attract a larger crowd then McCain (presidential hopeful). Oh I know, because he is attempting to become the first black President of the US. He (if elected) would also be the closest President in US history to having a muslim background, something that would be extraordinarily unique in today's world. I am not saying if this is fair/unfair or what my opinions are on the matter, but there is no way that one can argue that Obama's image is not helping considerably in his bid.
Pain? Yes, of course. Racing without pain is not racing. But the pleasure of being ahead outweighed the pain a million times over. To hell with the pain.
What's six minutes of pain compared to the pain they're going to feel for the next six months or six decades. You never forget your wins and losses in
this sport. YOU NEVER FORGET

There are already plenty of dumb white people out there stockpiling guns starting up malitias. That's nothing new. But imagine if a ban was imposed on guns. That number would skyrocket! Just like there's always been a reasonable membership and insterest level in hate groups and the Ku Klux Klan. Now that a Black president is on the horizon, those numbers are skyrocketing. Thank you for taking a single statement out of the many I've made in that post, and doing absolutely nothing with it. |

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. This is hilarious. It sums up so well about how all of you feel about Obama. He is not the Messiah, he will not make things in this or any other country better. Stop believing what his adoring press says about him. He is a pure and simple socialist. People want to talk about Bush not working in a bi-partisan fashion and claim Obama will, he has NEVER worked across the aisles.

As for it being unique, with the state of affiars in the middle east, it is not surprising that he is so popular (obviously popular enough to earn the Democratic nomination). Again, these aren't shots at Obama/Democrats/blacks/muslims/the middle east. Just a point of reference as to why his image is more notable then past presidential nominees.
