Re: Black Man Smacks Down Pensioner
I was so sure that Mckain would win, thank God I was wrong.
If I was black and an American I would have voted for McCain.
A couple of reasons. Firstly, 48% of Americans chose to not vote for Obama and of the 48% there were 46% then went with McCain.
Your picture that portrays McCain as a pensioner is correct, that is how he came across, just like he had finished a game of lawn bowls......but 46% still voted for him.
Given all the problems of Bush and republicans, the support from Oprah, the mood for change etc and etc then Obama should have got a true landslide, around 55% of the vote. or even more. But that was not the case. Just the opposite.
I think for the black people the timing is wrong. Obama will have his hands tied, in fact they are doubly tied because he can only veto and approve or do what he can via TV because of the limitations of being POTUS.
But the blacks will have had their shot.
Within 3 months Obama will be ducking and weaving.
The blacks and also the whites who want the gov't to do it for them would have been better off if McCain had won and Obama had won the next election.
