I'm not sure why "are" is in quotations, but whatever. Is that another spelling problem you're imagining?

Seriously...this is too easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

That's a dangerous way to think, isn't it, saltwn?

Could you show us where any reputable, nationally recognized conservative groups have made any negative comments about Sen. Obama's racial background???

He tried to campaign, downplaying "race"...but others would not have it.
Even Hillary joined the fray. Now, he's going to pre-empt. Bully, for him.
And you can keep that "typical white people" stuff to yourself...so many white folks are voting for him, on the merits, that it's not even funny.
What are his "merits"?

What does his history show of being a uniter?

What is his foreign policy experience?

What is his experience as a military leader?

What is experience in the economic realm?

What are his qualifications for POTUS?

If only these standards were applied for the 2000 election, maybe we wouldn't have this Bush disaster after-taste in 2008!

George W. Bush's Resume
News flash: BUSH ISN'T RUNNING THIS YEAR AND THE QUESTIONS WERE ABOUT OBAMA'S MERITS.

I find it so funny that you people will do anything you can to keep from answering the simplest of questions about your boy.

Oh. I fully get that.
What I am doing is exposing how funny it is that these concerns were GLARINGLY ABSENT when we had a REPUBLICAN candidate for whom these same concerns should be voiced.

It's a demonstration that these questions are REALLY being prompted out of party politics...

That's ALL opinion. Bush had been governor of the second largest state in the Union. There was no question as to whether he had executive office experience.

I would like to see you prove such a subjective assertion.

Maybe on Fox, but not with most newspapers, not on the internet, not with most major networks, and certainly not when he actually won the election, the guy was doomed from the very start. So to now suggest that any concerns were "GLARINGLY ABSENT" is absurd, shouting it does not make it any more believable.

Look at his resume for the pre-2000 era...
That's all I'm saying...
