    though, simply due to genetics, he's of african descent..even more so than most of us that were born here( african americans who's history disappeared due to slavery), but that should not matter because obviously he's seemingly competent enough to go sweeping across the country, getting votes that even jesse jackson didnt get, back when he campaigned.

    this man has serious contention for presidency, and I PERSONALLY FEEL, that makes those used to a particular face in office nervous.

    on the subject of religion. once again, born into it. his biological father was african/muslim, and for whatever reason, baracks' mother(white) chose to marry an indonesian/muslim...... AND YES, later on in life, he did have a choice to choose another religion, but how many of us have strayed too far from what we were taught.....really?

    for those objecting to obamas' run for prez, due to religious/racial beliefs, someone taught you to be that way...should'nt you consider rethinking that which you were taught?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    but really, what is it about this man that makes people nervous? that's the real question.

    1) does the thought of military men/women answering to an african/caucasian man as commander in chief make people squirm?

    if so, remember that general(ret.) colin powell was secretary of state, chairman of joint chiefs of staff and no matter who we are, civilian/military, a person of such stature commands instant respect, race irrelevant... so long as they WERE COMPETENT IN THEIR GIVEN POSITION.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    for civilians, does the thought of seeing this face potentially giving our "STATE OF THE UNION ADRESS" and being the figurehead of this current "sole remaining global superpower" called the UNITED STATES make you squirm? why?
    are the reasons because of some unspoken code, or concrete and verifiable performance reasons?
    what negative impact did he make, while an ILLINOIS senator that disqualifies him as potential prez?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    these are the 3 basic qualifications needed for someone to run for president:




    • be a natural-born citizen of the United States
    • be at least thirty-five years old
    • have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years
    i've got to make a quick run.....i'll finish this thought in a few.....never mind i'll finish it now.


    there are really no real reasons that i myself see, regardless of him being "black" and of muslim background, that should keep him away from what he's doing now.
    what i wrote about up top was NOT to keep the stupid issue of RACE burning, but to question those that are soooo twisted up about obama running for president. but giving no concrete performance-related reasons.






    and please, strike the "presidential experience" thought from debate/conversation, it makes as much sense as saying you can't die without having "death experience"........
