I would like Obama to win for one reason only, I would like every black kid to see him everyday and say "Hey, I can be like him, I can be what ever I want to be!" I am tired of listening to every black kid I run in to telling me they want to be a basketball player or a rappper idolizing dumb asses like Snoop-Dog!<BR/><BR/>But unfortunately it's not Obama's time yet...I don't see any balck candidate winning the presidency in the near future, we live in a racist society where people can say something to the pollsters one thing and do otherwise when they go behind those curtains.<BR/><BR/>The stake is too high to nominate Senator Obama for the democratic ticket and have him loose the general election. I think people need to wake up and support Senator Clinton all the way, I don't think we want to re-live the last eight years by helping to install another set of clowns in the White House. If that happens I am coming to Juba to join you.<BR/><BR/>BTW when I was in Addis Ababa last summer I met some dude from OXFAM who wanted to hire me for a position at the Chad-Sudanese border, I was tempted but not right now!<BR/><BR/>I hope you had a good new year's in DC and please take care of yourself!Mad Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126347011965732220noreply@blogger.com
