So, what are your thoughts on the latest New Yorker cover? Was it fair? Was it satire? Was it racist? Was it funny? Does it depict a true portrait of the Barack and his leading lady? Discuss……
There have been many reports of people fainting at rallies for Senator Obama. I have seen this myself on several occasions. For most white Americans, Obama represents the first time they have seen or heard an African man speak to them. Many white Americans are transfixed by Obama because for the first time in their lives they are encountering a leader who speaks the TRUTH and who puts the TRUTH FIRST. That is power and it explains the appeal and power of Obama.
Truth First………People “fainting” at rallies for Obama is bogus and meant strictly for drama. Fainting because of the heat or lack of food and/or hydration is believable. Your comment regarding “most white Americans” never having seen or heard an African man speak to them is completely assinine and obviously meant to be a racist remark. Where do you live….under a rock? Isn’t the Internet wonderful?! Complete morons can anonymously post assinine remarks and never be held accountable.

I’m an American white woman and I have heard plenty of American black men speak - Martin Luther King, Jr., Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Alan Keyes, Colin Powell, Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, etc…and I’ve never fainted, nor would I even think of it.
People are transfixed by Obama because of the Hollywood mentality that this country has become fixated on - all style, no substance. Empty lives, with little meaning, so they create drama around themselves - it’s all about them and it’s all about Barack Hussein Obama. There’s no TRUTH with Obama. It’s all about arrogance and ego. What does he stand for? We really only have his voting record to go on - and that proves that he’s the most liberal senator who ever existed. He’s held two positions on issues before, he’s a flapjack flipper, not really sure which group to appease with his answers. He can’t speak intelligently without a telepromtper. Sometimes he speaks like a black man when with black people, and like a white man while with white people. Sometimes he’s very radical with the radical lefties he speaks to, and sometimes he way to the center with his dem friends who aren’t as radical as he is, and he looks mighty uncomfortable there. Dems need to snap out of the trance that they been placed in by Obama and chant: “Just because ‘we can’, doesn’t mean we should.”
