As long as who ever she dates, as long as she's happy, then that's where it ends.Interesting turn of advents, to say the least. Yes, Obama has a blessing being the first black president, no doubt a history in the making. But, in the same token, everyone is watching every step this guy is making. And, add to the fact that he is walking into a political nightmare and a recession, only makes this situation more vexing for him.It is part of the new world we must adapt to. The fact that , if obama was a white candidate and ran the same campaign model, he would have never even made it to the primary.It is what it is. Now, from what I have seen, as a whole, is that some blacks are very biased and racist towards whites.This is not to say that whites are any better at this problem than blacks. I was a Reagan man only due to the fact he was an excellent strategist at fighting a war. and I served under him in the eighties. I think he did some shit wrong, but we can find fault with anybody.I guess in a thousand more years, we can be all mixed up as a population,(skin color). then we can concertrate on the really problems we need to fix and address them without this racist bullshit that people just can't get buy.It's like a bunch of children in a playground pointing fingers at each other saying, "your it", or something.I don't like obama for what he is trying to do,that's it. I didn't like Busch either. Hated the Clinton administration also. So, You can see that I make my judgements on who the candidate is as a person and the decisions he makes.

Hey T, I have an 18yr old daughter who dates everything from Blacks to Asians and everything in between. But of course, having such a racially diverse family as I do, I have no choice but to accept. But because of the racially diverse background of my family, I know there are trials and tribulations that an racially and ethnically mixed family goes through. I know Obama is in the position he's in because of the huge ground swell of support he got from minorities. But I also know and have heard of the extreme racist rhetoric from large swaths of the opposition. You see what you see and I see what I see, neither is wrong but we pay attention to only what we want to pay attention to.

My father spent 30yrs in the Army and served during the Reagan years, and I can tell you that he and most of his black servicemen friends weren't Reagan supporters and if you recall the amount of black enlistments during the Reagan years was higher than any other time. Blacks enlisted not because of their support for Reagan but because the economic situation for blacks during the Reagan years were dier and blacks saw the military as their only way out.

Again, T, I know guys like you, Kratos, and Musclescience aren't racist, but you cannot deny that many on this forum and elsewhere who are opposed to Obama, do so mainly because of the color of his skin.

BTW, I was a huge Clinton fan (and still am) and most blacks will tell you that during that time, black Americans really felt things were looking up.

That's a sad stereotype MuscleScience. The fact that the man garnered almost 66% of the vote and won by a margin larger than any other modern president since Reagan should show you that he stands for more than what you think.
