Oddly enough, David, trying to prove that you’re not a racist by voting for and electing Obama puts a man in the White House who built his career by associating with and depending on the support of racists.

I suspect that many conservatives have been culturally programmed into perceiving a polite and friendly man of color as merely another Bill Cosby or Sidney Poitier. Ultimately, how could such an apparently warm fellow be perceived to be a threat? These “conservatives for Obama” also subconsciously wish to prove that they are not racists. Voting for him is supposedly evidence of their enlightened and non-bigoted attitudes. To be blunt, these normally right wing representatives are dangerously fooling themselves. Obama is, after all, psychologically and existentially a man of the left. At the end of the day, he will lurch leftward. Obama has not done the required reading and overall studying to evolve. He is very shallow. Nikita Khrushchev boxed the ears of the immature and ill prepared John F. Kennedy—and JFK had it far more together than Obama! Our nation’s enemies will take full advantage of the situation.
