All in Agreement

It seems that several groups of people have ulterior motives for voting for Barack Obama this election year. I have been hearing and reading articles that suggest that there are certain groups who will vote for him for reasons having nothing to do with how they perceive his ability to be a good President.

For example, there are certain people (not all African-American, by the way) who will vote for him simply because he IS an African-American (and contrary to what Rush Limbaugh believes, this truly is a small minority of the population)

Another small segment of the population are actually some ultra-Conservative Republicans, who will vote for him to punish their own party for leaving the core values of the party. They feel that by putting him in place will galvanize the Republican base for the midterm elections in 2010.

Another small segment is truly whacko! These are some white supremists out in California who will vote for Obama because they believe (in some sicko Charles Mansonite logic) that it will spur a race war and cause all the "complacent whites" to finally get out of their lounge chairs and demand to regain their place at the controls of the country.

All of this is faulty logic and truly insane. But you know, as my father used to say, "Whatever works!"

If it gets him into the White House so that there is finally some respite from the virulently aggressive hawks who have been digging America's grave for this entire decade!

G'Obama!
