Will an Obama Election Help Erase Anti-Arab And Anti-Muslim Hate?

Will an effective Obama Administration quell fears that Arab-Americans and Muslims are not normal? We ask because 23% of Texans polled believe Obama is a Muslim.

McCain to Appear on “Saturday Night Live”

How fitting- given that his campaign is a joke:

Wonder if Joe The Plumber will be an added musical guest? He can dedicate a tune to the IRS.

If Being Black Secured The Presidency, Why Didn’t The Gop Run a Black Candidate?

Some people are upset Obama will garner more than 90% of the Black vote. So did Al Gore. Some say it’s reverse racism, and will cost Senator McCain the election.

If being a Black man assured one the office, why didn’t the GOP think of that- and nominate a Black man (or even woman)?

Obama The Wealth-Spreader: GOP Code for Giving Your Money to Blacks

Glad someone hipped us to this, I didn’t realize some voters didn’t think Senator Obama means the entire middle class would benefit:

And just how would he accomplish that? Most people on public assistance are white.

Is Being a Black Male The Key To The Presidency?

Had I known this was the secret to becoming POTUS, I’d have opposed Bush in 2004:

(seen on a message board)

“So the key to becoming President of the United States is to be a BLACK man? Anybody who claims that Barack Obama is just going to win the Presidency because he has the ADVANTAGE of being black is either crazy, a liar, or has not actually lived in the United States of America…”

President! Some days I can scarcely get a taxi to stop for me.
