Obama, Is He or Isn't He?

A friend of mine and I had an interesting conversation the other day about the past election and why he did not vote at all.

My point was that he should have voted regardless of what he felt for either party or person running in the election because there was a time that his vote not only would not have counted, but he did not have the right to vote. You know the whole spill, "those who came before you, who died in fighting to give you that right." He, a Hispanic male who is first generation can’t grasp this concept. Not only this, he’s not really first generation, as he was not born here in the United States.

He however did bring up a very good point. Some minorities have this since that Obama is going to change the rules to suite them. I can’t say that I have blatantly heard this but one does get this since that some feel this way.

From one Black Man’s Prospective, nothing can be further from the truth. Just because the man happens to be…doesn’t mean that he can or will right the wrongs of this country. Those who feel that he will now come in and change the name of the White House to the Black House, or try his best to enact some sort of laws that will give minorities the upper hand are sadly mistaken. No, no, he is just that a politician no matter what shade of brown or pink he may be.

What some of you out there fail to understand is that there are indeed several races out there, but one we do not count in this country or the world for that matter is that there is another race or creed if you will, and that is the politician. Oh, yes he has spoken about change, and he is striving for some of those changes. However, did you really think that he would deliver everything that he has promised? How can he?

In the end to put it in my dear friend’s words, " I know the kind of man Obama is, because he’s just like me. I will say anything to get into a woman’s panties, and once I do, I could care less about her." Though vile, he has a point.
