Just as Obama and his wife both complain how hard they had it in this country. Seems this country treated them right or they would not have the millions of dollars they have today or even before he was thinking of running for president. They don't know what the word hard means. We people who cling to [our] religions and guns, bust [our] [edited] for 60 hours a week just to make ends meet for [our] family. Friday is payday and Saturday morning is the day we wonder how we can pay the rent. We go through this everyday of [our] lives. And we are the ones who stand up and say how much we love this country. Obama and Michele complain they have it so hard. The only thing Obama had that was hard for him was his community organizer you know like Bingo and dances etc… And his buddy, pal, friend Bill Ayers is standing on the flag proud as can be. I just love the people Obama calls friends. Just as most of [our] parents said to us growing up that you are the company or friends you keep. Makes sense for Obama and his wife after 20 some years in a racist Anti-America church even with their kids. And his security is from the keepers of Farakon. I wonder if McCain ever thought of maybe hiring maybe a couple of skin heads for his security I am sure the democratic liberals would not say anything about it. [edited] it would be headline news on every news paper in the country and breaking news on every news station from TV to radio to Ham radio. But the Media just sweeps Obama's friends,pals,buddies under the rug as nothing is wrong. Look at TV one who owns BET cable station. They showed Obama's convention but said they would not show the GOP convention because 93% of their viewers are black. Hmmm that’s racist. What about the other 7% or even if some of the 93% are McCain supporters. Don't that matter? It’s wrong and should not happen but it does. And these are the same people who complain about racism. But it only seems racist when it befits them and no other race. ALL ,and I mean ALL , single so called civil rights groups are breeding grounds for racism. A civil rights group should be a group that looks out for all races no matter what and brings all races together. And until that happens in this country the racism will just keep running behind the closed doors of these single race groups.
