Baracks Don’t Roll
January 17th, 2007Today’s news concerns Barack Obama’s now-probable run for the Presidency. Here are my thoughts: Obama is a black man, a Democrat, an admitted former cocaine user, a Senator, and an undistinguished one at that. He has major ethical problems stemming from his connections to a crooked neighbor. If he runs for President, he will be destroyed. If he isn’t by the Democrats in the primary, he’ll be destroyed by the Republicans for sure. A black man can not win the Presidency in today’s America — a black man that admitted to using cocaine, has little executive experience and looks funny, has even less of a chance.
Barack’s incapable of winning, by my calculation, every southern state; I believe he is incapable of winning Pennsylvania (the MUST for any Democrat), New Hampshire, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri. I’m not sure how he’d fare in New Mexico, but I don’t believe it’d work out. If he wins the nomination, the Democratic Party is going to have some serious problems, from issues with the Latin Wing of the Democratic Party to issues with the black wing (Jesse Jackson + Sharpton + others dislike Obama for being part-white — though they never say it like that), to problems with certain parts of the country for having dared run a black.
He isn’t clean enough to win, nor is he accomplished enough to. I’d be amazed if he wins the nomination, but that’s why they have the elections, isn’t it?
