Barack "Nuance" Obama

     If there was ever a window on the gulf between the man Senator John McCain is, and the adolescent Senator Barack Obama remains, it was opened wide by Pastor Rick Warren. Watching Obama answer his questions was like watching a Pomeranian bounce around on a trampoline. He was all over the place.
     McCain had his weak moments, don't get me wrong. His answer regarding Embryonic Stem Cell Research was so boilerplate he could have had his 3x5 card right there in his hand. But Obama seemed to be cutting his answers from whole cloth. Or hole cloth, since there were so many holes in his answers, you couldn't strain pasta without losing half the bowl.
     Perhaps it's Obama's obsession with Nuance. Remember John Kerry? He was said to be "too-nuanced" for the average American. I stopped counting in the double digits, during Fox News's coverage, in which the two former Dem strategists mentioned about how nuanced Obama was, or how well he understood the nuances about this or that.
     There was no sense of Nuance about John McCain's answers, save that one, but if Obama doesn't drop the Nuance, and start actually answering questions, McCain's 50 Cal. style of shooting straight with the American people is going to gain in appeal.
     Message to Obama: Nuance is good.

Is America ready for a Racist President?

     I don't believe Barak Obama to be racist. He's much to intelligent to hold such an antiquated and irrational position. But then again, I could swear I heard an echo of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior in Obama's victory speech in Iowa. "We shall overcome!" Overcome what?
     Hilary is no better, but then we knew that already. The rhetoric is clear, not that either is racist, but that both have bought into the pathetic martyrdom of the African American leadership.
     The truth is, whether America as a whole is ready for a president well-versed in racist rhetoric, much of Black America is. Racism is an issue still today because Blacks make it such. It is the foundation of today's Black Leadership's social and political agenda. Without it, Black Americans become simply Americans, and that is not yet acceptable to them.
