WHO IS BARACK OBAMA - A LOOK BACK
Who exactly is Barack Obama, and why does he deserve to be President? Obama is a Democratic senator from Illinois, who is sitting as only the fifth African American Senator in United States history. Couple that with the fact that he is currently the only African American serving in the Senate and you must concede that he is definitely determined.
Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996 for the first time, and since has served 3 terms there, including this term. He tried a very unsuccessful run in 2000 for the United States House of Representatives. He lost by a margin of 61% to 30%, and lost to four term incumbent Bobby Rush, whom was a former Black Panther. It leads people to question, if he was unsuccessful at a House of Representatives bid, how is he going to be successful at a bid for the White House.
One major point which will likely help Obama is he won an endorsement from the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police for his support of gun control measures. Coming in the weeks and months following the tragic Virginia Tech massacre, this one point may really pull him ahead of some of the other candidates for the election since so many families are feeling the brutal pain and faced with burying their loved ones. Is this enough, will this one measure be enough to place Barack Obama in the White House?
At this point it looks as if not, but that's not to say that Obama does not have his supporters, in fact he is in the lead as one of the 2008 Presidential hopefuls who has accumulated the most money so far. Will this success rate hold out, it is really enough and does he have enough supporters to win this election? At this point, Obama is leading the polls in the youth votes, with more young adults supporting him than any other democratic candidate.
Last polls showed that Obama lead the race with 35% of the 18 to 24 year-old crowd, with Hillary Clinton coming in at second place with 28% of the same age group. While these numbers may not seem high, they represent thousands of people in the difference. The 2006 midterm election saw a huge turnout of young voters, and analysts are wondering if 2008 will see another huge increase of youth voters coming out to express their opinion.
Obama is a relative newcomer to the political arena, especially the national arena which is a hard place to be successful, and battling Clinton is no small feat, especially since she has been a major political figure since her husband was elected President in 1992. But with all of Hillary's experience, can Barack pull ahead and win? He has managed to pull in 104,000 donors for his election fund. Will all of those votes actually manage to pull through and pay off at election time?
Will his stand on guns and his place in the youth poles be enough to move him towards the White House in a successful bid? Time will tell as the Democratic hopefuls' battle it out in the political arena. One thing has been clear, at this point Obama has made it clear he is not running for the number two slot on a ticket, he is running to win.
Opinion
Obama Talks To 'BROTHAS'
I posted this once, but I Obama Tslks To 'BROTHAS' to mention this again since Obama is back [telling the BROTHAS to vote for Harris].
[Divisive Speech Is What Democrats Do and Blame the Conservatives of Divisive Speech]
The Democrats call the US 'systemic racist'.. The following positions were all held by Black people - some at the same time:
President - Barack Obama
Attorney General - Eric Holder
#1 TV Talk Show - Oprah Winfrey
Host of The 20K Pyramid - Michael Strahan
Host of The Family Feud - Steve Harvey
#1 Male Golfer - Tiger Woods
#1 Female Tennis Player - Serena Williams
#1 Pop Star - Michael Jackson
...Were all Black. No other country in the world can produce that lineup. We all have issues. However, if you took the Black wealth in America it would be the 8th largest economy on Earth. Not bad for a 'systemic racist' country.
I voted for Obama twice. Then I voted for Trump twice. The left can't figure out that line of thought. For me it was simple. Race relations went downhill, welfare went up. The only thing the Black community got from Obama was free phones, more welfare, and pitty party speeches. He gave a pallet of cash to Iran in the middle of the night. The Government grew exponentially under Obama. That is why Virginia saw major construction in housing during Obama's Administration. In other words, bigger Government. And the main reason, he entered office fighting in two countries (Iraq and Afghanistan). He left office fighting in seven countries (Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia) via troops and drone strikes. 80% of the kills were innocent civilians, i.e. Women, Children, and Goat Herders. The details are explained in 'Intercept Magazine' titled 'The Drone Papera'.
Obama is worth almost a billion dollars today and has never had a job in his life in the private sector or the military and tell you to not trust the rich. Now he is back on the scene telling the BROTHAS to support Harris. "Why do you think we didn't vote for Hillary? Because we didn't want HIS policies anymore."
The LEFT still can't figure it out.
A Harris/Walz Administration friendly to China and Iran and negative to our only Ally in the Middle East is the wrong direction.
Democrats walk through Crap, then when they enter the room they tell everyone it's their shoes that stink.
Those last two years of Obama were two years of disaster for the country, and because they didn't get 2016 they went WOKE and divided the country and through NORMAL out the window and put the pedal to the metal on CRAZY.
