I think that Obama needs to have someone who is considered equally as strong for the economy on the democrat ticket. Bloomberg would be an excellent choice, and will ease alot of fears about the economy under Obama.

However, if he goes with someone that is not viewed as being good for the economy, and things haven't turned around in the housing/ credit crisis by November, the democrats could be in trouble.

It's a possibility, do you think that racial tensions will escalate with a Black President?

I think so with HIM as the black president. Specially with his pastor's black liberationist views.

it is going to be the governor from Minnesota (Pawlenty), Sanford from SC, Lieberman(that would be cool but prob won't be allowed), or hopefully Jindall (though he isn't old enough to qualify for the presidency, so if McCain died, would he not be allowed to become president?)

Honestly, as long as it isn't Huckabee I am fine with entertaining the possibility of voting for McCain. Huckabee cannot be an old man's fart away from the presidency. Huckabee is so close to Hitler it isn't even funny.

not sure why everyone makes fun of Romney for being Mormon. It isn't like one religion is more outlandish, crazy, or stupid sounding than another, they all contain very idiotic and abstract ideas. If you vote for someone based on their religion you end up with a mediocre president like JFK.

Because Black people are used to it, and White people can't handle it?

I think it's the wrong message. america's the bad guy, America is trying to kill blacks, etc.. I honestly wouldnt want someone in that position who sat there for 20 years hearing that shit. Same would go with anyone tied to a white supremacy group like that. If there was a conservative black person running for the presidency who held the majority of the same views as me, I'd vote for them. I wouldn't be questioning them like I am Hussein Obama.

So you want a President that is unrealistic about the domestic situation? Or is he just not mature enough to make rational decisions for the good of the country? I'm sure you were concerned about the Bush's and Reagan, and them growing up on cowboy movies, too. I'm sure W, can't be linked to any racists. I think you, and too much of America have a double standard when it comes to Obama.

PS- Did you call Wright a liberationist? And why do you have a problem with freedom? Or is it just free Black people.

I think Obama having a running mate who is viewed as strong on defense is more important. The Republicans can't run on the economy. Quite literally the only thing they have left this time around is "Vote for us or the terrorists will kill you".

Interesting how you're trying to make me out to be a Racist here. That's fine. When someone has a different point of view, brand them as such. The racist is Wright.

Was Reagan tied to a racist past? Bush[either]?
