There are a lot of good things about Barack Obama but unfortunately there are a lot of bad things as well. His strong tie to the Banned Cleric Farakhans extreme views ( So extreme that he is banned from entering the UK) and also Rev Wright bodes ominous clouds.
I am not against a Black President in the US, however if he is elected , he may also be the first Black president to be assassinated. There are plenty of Black Presidents already in Africa and very few of them are assassinated. However an important position in the World as in the Presidency of one of the Worlds most powerful nations, may not be ready yet for a Black president.
Already there has been an assassination plot foiled in Jackson Tennessee by ATFE federal Agents just a few hours ago by two extremist skinheads who planned to also take out 88 black people, 14 of them to be beheaded and Obama being the final target.
There will be a major backlash of militant blacks and whites if he is elected where their extreme views will be paraded out and I see the racial riots of the sixties and seventies repeated.
There is a case for a Black president......but not Barack Obama.
I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Hmmm interesting. But theres no way you could justify that argument in the media or anything. You'd just be accused of giving in to white extremists. I see your point tho and do hope your wrong, coz the alternatives to Obama aren't very good for anyone but rich americans, in my opinion ofcourse. Even if Obama lost, there might be a backlash from afroamerican extremists. So that argument works both ways.
