Just something to think about, even though it's post-election...(reprinted from my Multicultural America class)
Is there a double standard where race and politics are concerned?
Could Obama do the following and still have a reasonable chance at becoming president of the U.S.?
- Introduce 5 children to the American public, including a 3-month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter
- Finish 5th from the bottom of his graduating class
- Leave his first wife after a severe, disfiguring car accident, and engage in a long affair with his second wife (while still married to his first wife)
- Marry someone who became addicted to pain killers and also acquired the drugs illegally through her own charitable organization
- Be involved in a major banking scandal (The Keating Five)
- Experience difficulties when reading from a teleprompter
- Military experience includes discipline problems and a record of crashing 7 planes
- Have a history of serious anger management problems that have regularly been displayed in public
- Marry a woman whose family makes millions from the brewing and distribution of beer
- Finally graduate from college after attending 4 different colleges and universities
- Spend $150,000 of campaign monies on his wardrobe

Worse than that he attended a church with a racist anti-American pastor, made friends with a man who was a terrorist bomber and promised hope and change by filling his cabinet with Clintonites. Oh happy day! One step closer to armageddon.
what's a "Clintonites?" is that a george clinton fan club? count me out. seriously though, funk in the white house equals armageddon. hopefully you're talking about the movie. and in that case, why wasn't obama elected earlier. that was awesome movie. my favorite part was when the police was chasing owen wilson with helicopters. i heart ben affleck.
