Well, here we are with more of the romanticized Obama drama.

Let's get this much straight since I've done more than my share of commenting on Obama & blacks in general.

I like Obama as an individual, he is smart, articulate, not bad looking, doesn't seem to have a vindictive bone in his body, is a very good speaker and is very tall which is a plus.

Obama is walking a tightrope between the races.....His own racial make up & those he probably is bending over backwards not to offend which is obviously blacks & whites & anything else inbetween.

Obama's entire campaign has been largely based on romanticized hopes & dreams of so many but particularly among blacks. As dumb as it may seem to some why are blacks so enamored over Obama? Obama has not done anything yet in a presidential capacity for anyone yet. Blacks it seems are whorshipping Obama as if he is a soul singer or a rap star.

Could it be Obama is the father figure so many young black men want, need or have been waiting for? As for Michele Obama she represents exactly what black women have always been.......Tough with a mean streak in her. Or so it appears.

If I were black I'd live in fear of two things about Obama, that he might fail in many ways or get assasinated. We whites now live in the same fear probably for totally different reasons than blacks.

Here on Care2 hardly anyone has been as outspoken as I have been regarding blacks & Obama. I've been scorched & taunted for my writings. Everyone wants to share their thoughts & opinions. Everyone wants to be accepted so almost all go along with the crowd of rosy hopes & dreams which none of us have had in the Bush years.

My personal opinions on blacks in particular have evolved over the years because of the riots, the Reginald Denny beating, the Tawana Brawley case, the Knoxville Horror case, the Howard Beach incident. And probably as much of Al Sharpton's non stop guilt tripping white America.

But, I do not see any of this coming from Obama.....Hopefully life for everyone will be more peaceful & rewarding in the next four years.

I do have great doubts anyway..............
