I would venture to guess it's because he presents himself as a black man, in order to get all the black votes.

17. Andrea...
Why do more democrats cheat on their wives period?
Spitzer, Clinton, Jim McGreevey (Who had gay affairs)
Pot meet kettle. Liberals should be the last people in the world to bash politicians for affairs gay or straight.

19. This man's wife is the most annoying woman on the plant!! google her!! Since her husband was hurt in a terrible accident, all she does is talk., She thinks she has the answer for everything, why? Please, America tell this woman to shut up, she never accomplished anything in her life and is trying to better herself off, her husbands pain and anguish. Their is no doubt she will divorce him in a couple of years. American stand up to woman that try and profit from their husbands misfourtanes. No good women, would ever do that. They would shy away from the spotlight. wayne matthews

20. I want to start being referred to as "European American"!!! Why, when I fill out a form, is there only "white" or "caucasian"??
And, I want "European American" history month, and "European American" TV network. Oh, and don't tell me I've had lots of "whitey" tv, history, etc....., I'm only 19, since I've been around, my life has mostly been infiltrated by minorities. Since I am becoming the minority, there are a lot of things that I'm gonna want and need...... Actually, I don't want anything, while you whites, and blacks and hispanics and asians keep on bickering, I'm going to go work hard, and enjoy my life. See ya suckas!!!

21. Also, I don't get the whole "Black" and "African American" comments.
He's not black, he's black and half white...
and he's not African American. He was born in Hawaii. African American is a stupid term thrown around to describe America's black population.
It means you were a man born in Africa who became an American citizen. An African.... American.
My ancestors come from Croatia but I'm not a Croatian American.
My best friend says "I am proud to be BLACK, and I am a proud American. I was born in Chicago, I have never been overseas let alone to Africa and the last ancestor of mine that I know of who was born in Africa was my great great great great great grandmother. So how am I African? I am American and I'm proud to be a Black American. End of story."
She hit the nail on the head. If you're from Africa but are an American citizen, be a proud African American, if you are born in America, be a proud black American. If you are half black and half of another race... be proud of everything that makes you what you are.
That's me and my friend's problem with Obama. He's only pushing the black side, and only seems proud of the black side, even though it was his white mother and white grandparents who raised him. And how long has it been since he's seen his half brother in Kenya? I think he said it was when he was 15 years old?

#13 IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. THE "FACTS" SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
FACT1- SINCE HE'S "ILLEGITIMATE" CHILD, HE'S "INELIGIBLE" TO BE A SENATOR, LET ALONE PRESIDENT.
FACT2- SINCE HE WAS PRESIDENT OF HARVARD'S LAW REVIEW, A LAW PROFESSOR ETC.. HE'S NOT INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT COMPARED WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS A LONG TIME SENATOR.
FACT3- ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T "THINK" CAN VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK BUT NOT SMART TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.
I NEED A CUP OF COFFEE FOLKS.

24. First off obama is an excellent candidate for president and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot. Why would you vote for someone who cant even pick a running mate who cant control her own damn home? People are so stupid I dont care whether the man is black,brown, green, yellow or orange, all that matters to me is GAS PRICES, ECONOMY, WAR and innocent people being killed for no apparent reason. Please dont judge someone by their color because we are all human and the better man should be voted into office.
