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.”

It’s hilarious that he speaks in the faux-preacher voice and that whites are fawning, if not feinting, when he speaks.

White people’s guilt over the racism they unwillingly harbor, which we usually only see manifest itself in far left liberals, is at its most potent here because Obama isn’t all that dark but does have ties to Africa, speaks eloquently, is educated, and thus represents the greatest symbol of redemption for them. If he succeeds, with their help, then it must be (as the thinking goes) that America has finally made ammends for slavery. And look, everyone, look at the type of black man our nation now produces. (Pathetic.)

Democrats tend not to see him at all — he’s just a symbol to them, which is to say that they’ve dehumanized him. He knows all this, of course, which is why he’s so dangerous and why he’s been so successful. This is why he and his wife are the angry whitey hating militants they are. He gets white mentality, he gets it that blacks will come out for him or at least won’t publicly condemn him, and he gets it that more people feel this need to redeem themselves for their racism than they support women’s causes. Yes, we can say it, many, many women were Hilary supported mainly because she is a woman. Just like many, many blacks support Obama mainly because he’s black. Period.

How he ousted Hilary from an almost insurmountable lead will be textbook material in a psychology class, not a political science class. Then, again, his campaign manager is an expert at precisely that — getting black candidates elected by white voters. Just stop and think about it. What does his campaign manager know, what tricks, what gimmicks, that get his candidates votes from white voters? Only someone naive would fail to realize the obvious: he plays on their subconscious.

Show me a person unimpressed by a person’s skin color and I’ll show you a McCain-Palin supporter. Show me a person coping with guilt, and I’ll show you someone willing to elect an inexperienced, false promising, lying, done-nothing, corrupt official who has had long relationships with criminals, terrorists, racists, anti-Semites, and anti-Americans.

I’m still waiting for the liberal left media to vet Obama. I’m still waiting for all the details about his ties to Ayers, Rezko, and Wright — just to name a few! — to come to light, public light.

After that, perhaps the media could bother to follow a lead or two to check into what happened to the $160 million he had his hands on as a community organizer — you know, the so-called job that prepared him to lead the greatest nation in the world.

Then they can follow up on how Emil Jones made him a senator. Then we can press him on his cocaine use. The list goes on ad nauseum with Obama, but adding more will only make it seem false to you, no doubt.

Fully vet Obama. That’s the responsibilty the media owes the American people. Anything less is morally unjustifiable.

This is in response to the last post:
First off, your comment, especially this quote: “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” is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard in my life.
It is the 21st century, black people are all over the United States. To say that it is the first time white people have seen or heard a black man is preposterous! Do not for one second put this man on a pedestal when there have been countless historical black figures with WAY more talent and integrity than Barack Obama. You have got to live under a rock or something? Pure ignorance.
Secondly, Messiah Obama speaks nothing but lies, lies, and more lies. I recommend you get over his man as fast as the liberal media immortalized him before he does some serious damage to American values and safety!
Thank-you!
