Obama the fake black american dream

I am not one to speak out on my political views to perfect strangers. The time has come for the Average Jill to say something. Many things have been said about Barack Obama with his connections to questionable people and organizations. Often in the mainstream media you hear that this is all falsehood or so far in the past that it has no bearing on the man that he is today. I find that hard to believe. Up until I reached my mid 20's I believe alot of my thoughts and ideas were influenced by those to some extent who were either my elders and had great iunfluence upon me growing up. Then there were those who I came across in college not the professors I might add but fellow students that had varied ideas about the world and some of which I have found to be very true. While they do not always affect some of the decisions I make in life at this time. They do have some influence upon my thoughts because I hear out what they have to say to me. Because of the value I place on their opinions.

Now Barack says Ayers and Wright have no influence and I find that extremely hard to believe. Knowing that as humans we are influenced by those we have around us. People whose opinions we value and feel is valid. Based on the associations that Barack has had just with these two individuals. One while in college where as young people we are seeking our own identities and the other as a spiritual advisor and friend. They had to have some influence and this is evidenced by much of what Barack says and believes in his interviews and on his website. We would all be fools if we could not read what is in black and white.

Unfortunately many of us are blind especially my own folks that are so uninformed that when they are interviewed in an impromptu interview on the street. They have no idea who Baracks running mate is and when the commentator says "What do you think of Obama's running mate Sarah Palin?" Come on now folks are we that ignorant of what is happening this election? Are we so enamored with the idea of having a black president that we can not see how much trouble electing this man will cause. You think we are suffering from the results of the clinton era economic policies. Wait till barak is in office. Then you will know pain. People will be back to eating government cheese. All the people who are losing their homes in foreclosure sale that should not have gotten a loan they could not afford. Consider their mortgage payment rent. Well you might as well start packing your bags. I hate to tell you this is one economic situation even the government can not and should not bail you out of.

As you can see I have alot of venting to do. I hope many will enjoy this post and really take exception to what I have said. Believe me this is one black woman that has much more to say. Till another time. Work hard, live right, and investigate before you vote.
