Isn't it absurd to say that Obama only gets attention because of the color of his skin?

when for centuries, we have been refusing to take people seriously as potential leaders because of the color of their skin?





Obviously, Obama is not just a Black candidate.





Attention because of his skin color lasts about 5 seconds. If he had nothing to say, the attention would last no longer than that.

If nothing else, he's a very intelligent man. We could use a guy like htat in the white house. I like him even though he's liberal, and that's saying a lot.
Reply:he is getting attention from the liberal media because he is black and he is a fresh face, he is nothing great, if he were white the attention would not be there
Reply:He is the leading Black candidate and the Black vote is really strong here in America. Don't discount the race card.
Reply:He doesn't have anything to say, and if he were White, the Press would ignore him like they are Edwards !
Reply:he looks like a Black Panther
Reply:Perhaps we need to fill a quota by electing a black president?
Reply:His nonstop media coverage is because of his skin color..


Obamas talking points and beliefs are no different then the other socialist candidates...But he gets more attention from the media doesn't he?
Reply:People who discuss his color or Hillary's gender do so to avoid discussing the real issues. They are afraid the cocamaime idas of the opposition to Obama and Clinton may be exposed for what they are and whoever wins the Democratic nomination will pull anothe Lyndon Johnson and win by a landslide bringing coat tail Democratic victories in both houses of Congress with them.
Reply:I wouldn't care if he was orange with purple spots,his politics stink.
Reply:OF COURSE Obama is getting attention because he's black! It's also because he's young, he's mild manored, and because the democrats DESPERATELY need a new face to lead the democratic party. Unfortunately he will play second fiddle to Hillary Clinton because right now a woman president is more of a liklihood than a black president. Which is why he will end up being her running mate.
Reply:Paris Hilton continues to get press even though she has nothing to say.





Nick Lachey is taken somewhat seriously as a singer because he is very good looking.





Black is hip in some circles. Being black is opening doors that otherwise would be shut. You can't honestly tell me that people aren't intrigued with Obama because he is black.
Reply:In the first place he is not just black he did have a white mother and who Care's what color he is if he can heal this country after 8 years of Bush we need some one who Care's about all the people not just the very very rich and how to keep them that way at any exp sen
Reply:No, it isn't absurd. It's correct. He has done absolutely zero. He gets attention because of the color of his skin and because the Democrats apparently believe that Kerry didn't look ENOUGH like Frankenstein's monster.
Reply:seems like the politcal arm of the White League, Aryan Nations and the KKK are the only ones making Senator Obama's race an issue.





Leave it to the GOP to drag out the race card every single time.
