i think i figured out obama

And I don't see why people despise him so. Hillary lied through her capped teeth and would do whatever to get what she wants, threw whatever dirt she could find at Obama then claimed she didn't authorize it, McCain has a secret fundraiser with Bush so people won't know he's getting his support (right - only people who didn't care to know anything didn't know), doesn't care if we're in Iraq another 100 years, and is possibly too old for the level of stress involved in the Presidency. Obama refused to be caught up in their name calling, dirt throwing games, refused to play negative politics, and basically carried himself with more class than Hillary, Bill and McCain combined! How is he a racist? How??? That's the most ridiculous assertion I've ever heard! On what do base this questionable assumption?

Hello Ddzdvd, It's nice to see you back! I'm sorry, but I cannot help to explain this glaring double-standard! If I was a half-White Presidential hopeful, and called my Black grandmother a "typical (Black) person", I would have kissed away my chances at being elected. That is indisputable by even the most 'blinded' of Obama fans! Not only does it denote racism, it also lacks any respect for our elders, and perhaps most egregiously, it screams of a lack of appreciation for all that his White grandparents did for him -- after his father abandoned him, and his mother left him on her parents doorstep, while she went back to Indonesia. Perhaps Stanley-Ann had her reasons for abandoning Barack, yet the fact remains that the only people who committed themselves to Obama's well-being were the same White grandparents that he disparaged! I am piecing together some of Obama's race related quotes, and observations about his state & federal campaign runs. I am absolutely mortified at some of what I've read. Most of the statements come from his two books, so none can argue that they are not his own words. Based on his own words (not those of Rev. Wright), I cannot help but question how anyone would not deem Barack Obama a blatant racist. I have spent my entire life fighting against racism. As someone who has 'walked the talk', I find Obama's rise in political prominence as excrutiatingly insulting!
