Barack Obama Do you think that Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States?
No one asked if America was ready to see a black man in Major League Baseball. It wasn’t–until the right man, Jackie Robinson, accepted the challenge and made the most of it, and in the process changed America forever. Nor did anyone ask if America was ready for the first black CEOs of multinational corporations such as American Express, TimeWarner, or Aetna. When the best candidates for those positions happened to be black, the way was cleared for Kenneth Chenault, Richard Parsons, and Ron Williams. Similarly,
Barack Obama is the right person, in the right place, at the right time to be America’s next president. If we continue to lend credence to the idea that it can’t happen, that America as a nation is not "ready" (whatever that means), then it won’t.We have to be
optimistic with unity. The proof of whether America is ready or not should be determined on Election Days,and not by political pundits or polls. Yes We Can!! Yes Barack Obama for President!!
Tell all your friends and familly who live in America to VOTE Barack Obama NOW !!.
Ready or not, it time to vote your conscience... i've studied this man, his moves, his dreams, and his hopes; he aspires to the highest post on the planet...No Black person has even come close to sitting in that chair before, so why is he given this opportunity???
Does it speak to his abiliy as a man, and as a problem solver?
Or does it reek of the confidence that the EURO-centrist place's in him.. i keep asking myself, why are they so comfortable with this man?? Do they know something about him that i don't know?? Has he revealed a side of himself to them, a side that he has yet to reveal to me?
Has he made secret covenants with them that i am not privie too?
Is he really a BLACK MAN, or is he just another dark-skinned WHITE MAN?
How can i be sure??? After-all he was raised by his WHITE MOM, with-out a strong AFRICAN influence in the hose... And with-out having to endure the torture that is part of the BLACK GROWING-UP EXPERIENCE...
What i do see that is positive, is his reaching back, and out, towards both the Black & the White communities simultaneously, and promising to help heal the divide that has previously galvanized us both... If this can be effectively accomplished, then yes, i can support that...
But if on the other hand he sees this opportunity slipping away from him due to WHITE indifference, or WHITE resistance to change, and then he begins to sell-out his S O U L just for that opportunity to serve, then what use is that to us?
That's self-fulfilling.. Haven't we had enough of that already?
But BLACK or WHITE on the inside, he is different from the other candidates running this year, and he sounds earnest, so he deserves a chance... A chance is a little bit BETTER than NO CHANCE isn't it?
And who knows, after selling his S O U L to get inside, once in, he might suddenly find it somewhere along the way and reconnect with it in a BIG WAY..
So i say Y E S... Let's give this guy a chance... Things might come out okay in the E N D...
But i rather doubt that any real change will happen because he's having to surround himself with them nearly every minute of every day... They'll be watching him, advising him, reporting on him, guarding him, controling him, so when is he going to get enough time to be himself; so the real BARACK OBAMA can emerge?
?
But yeah, i'll vote one more time before i give it up for good... i want to see what this Brotha can do.... Or can't do...
