To those few who actually read this stuff, I have something to ask you. What does Obama have that inspires so much hope. The man is black, and this is not a source of hope. Biases based upon the color of one's skin is called racism. Barrack Obama is simply a man who entered politics. To view him in any other way is to lend credence to racism.
There is no real track record to judge Obama on. His nature as a "changer" is something to be debated, not something which can be judged or verified. He has voted and agreed with the Bush policies which intrude upon privacy, and proven that there are certain decisions which he is unwilling to make.
To offer a balanced view, there are also haters. I was unfortunate enough to read an article suggesting he was both the Anti-Christ and not born in the US. Both of these ideas were grasping at straws in an attempt to derail the overwhelming push for Obama, yet served only to show that racism and sensationalism are not yet dead.
Now that I've gone of on a tangent, it's time to ask the question. What makes Obama different than every other politician? I want your comments below (I will not tolerate racism or blatant stupidity, so please keep that in mind).
Thanks, and enjoy.
