“WHAT IF”
I am kind of tired of people saying that this election has nothing to do with race – when in fact it has everything to do with the color of Obama’s skin. We think that we have come “so far” in America – but the sad reality is that in the US we’ve been taught the political correctness game and we’ve learned to “MASK” or “SUPPRESS” our true feelings when it comes to sensitive matters or to those that are different than us…
This is what racism does… It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.
-- THE FACTS --
Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899
Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism
Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest
offices in the land as well as our standing in the world.
Let’s switch things around and use the “WHAT IF” scenario to see what it would look like –be your own judge…
• What if the Obama’s had paraded five children across the stage, following the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
• What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
• What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class?
• What if McCain had only married once and Obama was a divorcee?
• What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
• What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
• What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
• What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
• What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
• What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
• What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?
• What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?
You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality or if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
What if things were switched around? Would the
country's collective point of view be different?
