Obama's Bewitching Charm

Submitted by Dorothy Wachsstock, Jan 15, 2008 10:34

I wish it weren't so and I am not saying that it is a conspiracy. There is a lack of reporting on Obana that would be out without Hillary Clinton's race card play. A clever talkshow host, Chris Plante found her first attempt that everyone missed. She used the words to describe Obama, on the Today show, on a Monday, "He had not done the "spade" work to be ready to be President. Tch! Tch!

In fact, as we all cheered for John F. Kennedy, Jews and Catholics alike, I was so happy that at last somebody was getting our youth interested in politics. Whether I believed in his policies or not.

It is sad the the chickens have come home to roost since the democrats cannot play the race card against the republicans, as they usually do, they are eating their own to what seems a decent person who is proving that America is not a racist nation with all of the white voters for him.

I would not vote for him but I admire his inspiring decency and perhaps one day his policies may change as many democrats have gone into the republican party not wanting to be socialists.
