This damn war

[RandyJohnson]

If John McCain becomes President, he will most likely continue the war.
When it comes to our soldiers, we can't afford to lose anymore.
I offer my condolences to the families who have lost people in Iraq.
If McCain wins, it will be a long time before our troops are brought back.
If Obama wins, he'll stop this damn war.
On November the 4th, Obama is who I'll vote for.

I hope Obama wins...
I am not an American,but I wonder if America has stepped far enough beyond the history of racism that also afflicts my own country Australia,to accept or allow an African American to have his finger on the trigger.It would perhaps partially start to restore some of my faith in humanity,and would perhaps set a powerful example for the rest of the world to follow,but I just wonder is America ready and able to accept Obama as President?

I would actually consider Obama to be the front runner at this point in time. Interestingly enough if Obama doesn't win, a contributing factor might be that many members of the African-American community do not consider him to be "black enough." Rascism, it would seem, is still the strongest of isms.

It's a situation we are not all prepared for. If he wins, racism wins too. If he loses, racism still remains the winner. I look forward not for this day and I refuse to vote this time.
