MLK "I have a dream" vs Obama winning

vanzack, that's deep

Perfect............IF most of them discover they've made out worse under his regime, then perhaps the next time we have a situation like this the rest of the voting public won't be snookered by a particular group wanting to make history. Hopefully the novelty will have worn off.

  Then again, he could turn out to be a stellar prez & we prosper.......& I end up being part of the crowd that re-elects him.

  Stay tuned.................

What does this have to do with King?

 

stop crying , at least its not Bush. 

It goes back to what King said in his speech. 

Bobby Jindal in 2012!!!

If Obama really does become a great President, then the name MLK would be an after thought in many people's minds.

and like Mook said in another thread Obama would not have won w/o the white vote also

 

Hutch,

Much of what you say is accurate, but as is the case with all numbers having to do with any derisive topic, they can be slanted to make ones own point.

I would think the increase in the percentage of blacks voting for Obama would not be as significant a factor in determing if race was the main reason for that vote, as would knowing just how many blacks voted for Obama in 2008, compared to how many voted Democratic in 2004. While I do not know those numbers, I believe that disparity would paint a clearer picture if Obama's race had something to do with how the vote broke down along racial lines.

Of course, there are other factors, such as the current state of the economy. Any democrat would have reaped the benefits of running in 2008, as witnessed by the elections across the country, regardless of that candidates skin color.

With that said, I believe that anyone who doesn't believe that Obama didn't benefit from a huge surge in African American voters, many of whom were motivated by race alone, are simply not being honest with themselves. Regardless, Obama will soon be the commander in chief of the greatest country in the world, and I'm sure the vast majority of the citizens hope our country has great successes under his guidance.

 

I keep thinking of that youtube video where the black lady thinks once Obama is President that houses and gas are gonna be free. To me thats disturbing. I'll add that I didn't vote for Obama, because he's a Duval Patrick clone, and I didn't vote for McCain, although I would of voted for Lucas McCain.
With that said, I only hope Obama is true to his word and makes the tough choices that gets America out of this funct.
First on this list is every single US company that sent its manufacturing to Mexico or elsewhere should get taxed up the ASS. A CEO's bonus is more important than an American working, not in my book. And its exactly why I quit my job 6/07. The Gov't should make it extremely difficult for such companies. On the other hand tax reductions should be given to companies that have their manufacturing plants in the US to stimulate more jobs. I'd be surprised if anything in your house is made in America, maybe furniture or your car, thats it.
Good luck to Mr Obama because the ultimate goal is to get people back to work.

DEAL WITH IT
