Race again.

Hey all, another day gone by. The headline news deals with another racial remark made by one of the Presidential candidates in Missouri. Let’s move to substantive arguments not political games.
All the cable news networks have talked about how gas prices have dropped over the last two weeks. Thankfully this helps relieve some of the pressure for the average American. Drilling doesn’t seem to be in the minds of Congress any longer. It’s funny how much they claim to do for us, and yet they only talk not act.
Congress passed a Resolution asking for the forgiveness of the families of those who were slaves at the start of our history. I agree this was a just move, but why did it take this long for it to occur? Why does race continue to be an issue in this political race? Senator Obama continues to utilize racial remarks to generate resentment among possible voters.
In his tour through Missouri Barack Obama made some remarks responding to an add posted by the McCain campaign. The add depicts Barack as more of a celebrity rather than a leader. Senator Obama answered by using the race card once again. Reuters in an article posted today by John Whitesides quoted the Senator as saying
"'He's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. He doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills,'" How does acting like a victim help his cause?
I am tired of race getting used to promote political agenda’s. I have never heard Senator McCain attack Obama based on his race, name, or heritage. Who cares what his skin color is. The point of the add is that Obama has achieved quite a bit without really having much of a track record at all. I disagree that people will care about his skin tone, or even about his name. People are afraid to vote for him do to his associations, track record in the Senate small as it is, and how he only seems to offer solutions which will hurt more than help.
Do you care about Senator Obama’s race? Do you care that he isn’t white like the past Presidents? Will this affect how you vote in November? If Senator Obama had the principles, character, and record that correspond with my values I would vote for him even if he was green. He doesn’t share my morals or political views so I wouldn’t vote for him regardless if his name was John Smith and was Irish. James.
