Obama ,as the first African American President had to face blatent prejudice never before experienced by a major political candidate.

If you mean people voted for him because he is half African American, you would be correct.

IN MY BRIEF RESEARCH INTO THIS SUBJECT . I AM HAPPY TOO SHARE MY FINDINGS. I DO THIS AS A PUBLIC SERVICE.
THANK YOU.

Now we know the complete story!


The English language has some wonderfully collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.

Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ....... a Congress!

Don't insult baboons. At least they have a purpose to their....displays.

I am sure there are also people who didn't vote for him for the same reason. Neither position makes much sense, but humans are not always as rational as they could be!

That was the point Liz was trying to make.

If you voted for someone because of their race its just as raciest as if you voted against them because of their race.

Darned if you do! Darned if you don"t!

I remember seeing a poll that women voted for Clinton because he resembled Robert Redford.

But of course voting for someone because they are black is good, and voting against the same person is bad, is a perfectly rational argument.

Robert Redford? Never heard that one before! Oh, well.. could be..

And how about men who voted or would vote for Sarah Palin because they think she's good-looking, former beauty queen and all?

Nobody voted for Sarah Palin for President.
