Default What do Blacks intend to GAIN with Obama as President

What do you think they intend to gain with him in office? What do you think they think they will accomplish that they couldn't accomplish with Hillary in there. They are both democrats. What do you think the answer is?

I imagine his views on civil rights appeal to them, and he seems far more genuine and open than Hillary- so more likely he can/will acomplish such things.

and I hate the whole "lets blame big oil for everything" mantra.....


Yes oil companies have huge profits...but ask some geek on the street dem/liberal what are the oil companies profit margins, and they will look at you with a blank gaze.

Hillary and the libs pander to people who don't understand economics to make the wealthy, and profitable companies seem like big bad bullies.

it's sickening

hes the better candidate. its that simple. hillarys run a very divisive campaign, and obamas campaign has reached out to african americans, while hillarys has basically abandoned them - her campaign has even used them as a wedge. shes gotten her hands too dirty.

How is he the better candidate? What are you basing this on? What issues do you think the blacks see in him that will help them compared to Clinton. Give me facts to these questions please. Thanks.

He's got those huge monkey ears, obviously he will be better at listening to his constituents.

They aren't looking at issues, they are looking at his skin color.

They are big bullies. ExxonMobile hasn't payed a cent for the ExxonValdez disaster, even after 19 years, and Chevron will do the same against the Ecuadorians. These guys are bastards, and they use the vast amount of money they have to get their way. Forget profit margins, its about the concentration of wealth, and how comparably easy it is to do, and how much power they have because of it. The profit margin argument is just another smokescreen. Its enough the influence they've had slowing and confusing the global warming
issue.

Just another example of the rich/powerful doing what they do, history is full of such examples. Bollocks to the lot of it, imo.

What do they hope to gain?
Well, a black man becoming president would certainly be a morale boost for black kids who think that they have no hope in life.

But he's not as much the "black candidate" as people seem to think. Clinton initially led with the blacks. It wasn't until two things happened that we ended up with racial polarization:
1. The Clinton camp seems to have subtly injected race into the campaign.
2. The primaries in the south, which has greater racial tension.

Smug Ferrero is unbelievable. After her comment, she accuses the Obama camp of "playing the racecard" for rejecting the comment- She brought up race! And all Obama said was that it was wrongheaded.

It was. Obama has a harder time as a black candidate. He has to appear to be the candidate for all Americans while at the same time not rejecting the notion of being the black candidate. It's a tightrope walk.
Why do you think the Clinton camp wanted race in this campaign, while Obama was trying to avoid it for as long as possible? Now that it's injected, he HAS to be the black candidate, all the while trying to still be the candidate for all America also.
Clinton sacrificed the black vote to ruin Obama's ability to run as "post-racial".

Politics is such crap.

I resent your blatant ignorance as you have absolutely no idea about anything about Exploritory, Producing, Drilling, Perforating or basically anything about the Oil business. The Majors are not at fault for the high prices. It is the smaller land domestic Oil & Gas drilling companies such as the one I own are doing our share of putting people to work and helping families make ends meet and redistributing royalties back into the economy thru tax revenue from the wells I strike. I am forbidden to lower my prices due to lawsuits and regulations. Do you even know who owns as you would say "Big Oil"? I bet you don't.

Let this soak in. Do you want to punish all these people?

And the upside of Oil Prices.
