Bucco, Most younger people make fun of us older people. Heck, we make fun of us older people. ;D. The payback to the young folks is they'll be old before they know it!

You are all entitled to your opinions about what ever YOU measure with and then put my question in it that suits your interpretation. But, please, do allow you may be wrong!!!!!!!

Too many these days are much too quick to read between the lines or judge based on their PC quotient (I have no use for PC as it hides the truth) or some other influential bias.

I wonder....if I had asked if an American born person had European lineage, lets say Germany...would a question about why would such a person refer themselves as German American be considered as racist....I seriously doubt it.

I find there are way to many folks these days who are totally and completely incapable of fielding ANY question at face value. :dontknow:

Since I am the one who asked the question....only I can assure you the question was not intended to be racist? Race was not even a considerat in in my thoughts....thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think what ever keeps your metabolism perking.

BTK ;D

So in your mind this makes it ok ? Please allow a list of those things we can make fun of in our Presidential candidates so we know.

billie I too couldn't figure out why your statement was racist. Personally I'm tired of all the hyphenated Americans. Aren't we all Americans, period??

Obama is a very insecure person with a severe complex that stems from his African father's abandonment of him. At the same time, he is a hater of white people, this stems from his connections with his black grandparents and parents Luo tribe in Africa. This we do not need or want as our President. There is a hidden agenda, read all you can about him and you will find it unbelievable, if you are a true American.
I can't believe there are a handful of so called Americans who would vote for the guy, he is so un-American.

Please read this statement again and tell me where and how it is not racist. "he is a hater of white people, stems from his connections with his black grandparents and parents Luo tribe in Africa."

As far as "old is concerned, Bucco, sorry but this is an issue. Especially now that he's named a "hockey mom" as successor as the world's most powerful leader in the world. That's a joke. I don't care how people try to spin it. McCain is 72 years old and has had cancer on 4 different occasions. Get a grip.

I'm laughing at sid's comment regarding the "All American" ticket. For heaven's sake sid...don't you know that for it to be an "All American" ticket both candidates would need to be 100% direct descendants from our indigenous people?

Hmmm...McCain has Scots-Irish and English ancestry. Hmmm...Palin has English, Irish, and German ancestry.

sid...you need a history lesson!

I've wondered occasionally if some people just sit at the computer and really stupid things come to them on the spur off the moment or if they sit and think as hard as they can to come up with dumb ideas and comments, collect these droppings, and then later log on dump them willy-nilly. It's not a quandary that has kept me up nights, but I have wondered.

(And no, BS, I'm not talking about you!)

Sallie, I did not say BTK's statement were racist. I find his posts generally well thought out and presented.

It is obvious that I read more than this TOTV website. Everything I stated above and more is available for anyone to read themselves. I wish that you, chelsea24, would please stop the personal attacks when someone says something that you do not agree with. IT is very tacky.

I fear that many white men on the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder are very resentful of his education, class, success, etc. What a shame. I think he took out huge loans to pay for his education. Most of us make our choices in life. He made the right one.

You said "Obama is a very insecure person with a severe complex that stems from his African father's abandonment of him." Gee, how do you know that? Do you hang with him??

No, I do not and would not "hang with him". I read, read and read some more to totally inform myself about candidates. I refuse to make comments and give opinions that are uneducated. Obviously, many people choose to do just that.
And no, Obama did not take out huge loans to pay for his education. His white grandparents worked and paid for his education. .

Today, McCain had to bus in people to try to fill a high school gym. I think you're going to find more than your "handful" coming out on Nov 4th to make Senator Obama the next President of the United States. I will vote for him and yes, sid, I am a true American.

Sorry to hear that you take everything you see and read personally. This is not at all a racist statement and wasn't meant to be. I am simply trying to educate those who are not as aware of some of Obama's issues that I have found thru reading many books and articles by those who have studied him. Good grief, is that so wrong?

No, you need a language lesson. Haven't you ever heard of an All American football player, baseball player, etc.

George Bush has been in office 71/2 years.

A little over a year ago;
consumer confidence was at a 21/2 year hi
gas was at 2.20
unemployment was 41/2%
Dow at 14,000
We were buying cars, taking cruises, onerseas vacations, living large

But Americans wanted change so in 2006 we voted in a Democratic Congress...We got CHANGE

consumer confidence plummeted
gas is near $ 4.00
unemployment is 5.6%
home equity has dropped over 12 trillion
foreclosures are at 1% of mortgages
the Dow is at 11,300

In 2006 we voted for change and we sure got it.
Now Obama promises more change...HOW MUCH MORE CHANGE CAN WE STAND?

Well said, Benj. Congresses approval rating is much lower then Bush's.
