commented on this video Is anyone as confused as I'am? IN my circle of friends we clearly see the Democrate Barack Obama as a mixed American. Why is it then I keep hearing the pharse " the first black president" Was't he raised by a single white mother and white grandparents in a white world? Why are Republicans and Democrats seeing it clearly Barack Obama is mixed,bi-racial or what ever term is politically correct. What about the white in those who are bi-racial and proud of it. We should recognize mixed Americans and leave it at that after all this is the melting pot of many differant bi-racial AMERICANS and we should not forget tyhe long hard road we had to come to get this far with any kind of diversity. Please no one take this comment the wrong way I'm not predudice we come in all colors in our family. Also, this is not a slam on John McCain or his party. I've never heard this from anyone of McCain's party but I wanted to share my view on this. I feel Obama's comment about "the first black president" is raciest. MY vote is Mcain and NO BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regardless, you seem to be trying to take the eye off the most magnificent part of what Obama represents: Honest, intelligent, thoughtful leadership. McCain used to be tolerable in Washington, but now is the newest puppet of the Corporate/Republican lie machine. He could not be where he is without allowing the puppet strings to be moved from Bush to him. Dance McCain Dance!
