protest in ny

I think Duane has a point on this one. There are many people out there that feel the need to assure THEMSELVES that they are not many things whether it be racist, homophobic, or whatever. And I can see them boosting their self-image by "doing the right thing".

So are you saying ALL the white voters for Obama feel this way to justify him getting into office? Because i'm not sure where this is going?

So asking a Pres for a birth certificate was racist? McCain produced his from Panama. I believe all presidents are obligated to show they were born in this country. The congress is supposed to do that I believe.

No it is not racist at all. However continually asking for proof of birth that has already been provided and holding the black canidate to a higher level of scrunity is.

No, I am saying "many". Why would you even think I meant "ALL"? How did you get to that conclusion?

Unlike you, many white voters were simply voting for who they thought was the better candidate.

Sorry, i have poor reading comprehension. Define "many", please? The dictionary is too vague for me...in your words, please...

Really? You want me to define many? I'm not going to pull out the dictionary, but I believe it means: more than a few, but less than all.

I wasn't leaving one off. The Bush bailout was a fraction of the Obama one and most of it has been paid back. If the people on Wall Street are protesting bailouts then I hope they are smart enough to protest the one that we are $2 trillion in the hole on and not the one that we are $66 billion in the hole on.

I would think that if they are protesting now, this administration's as well as the current governments spending would be something they are unhappy about. If they aren't then their cause loses traction... what ever traction it has. If they are protesting large corporations, the government is probably the largest and most wasteful one there is.

I agree with you, and I believe that most of those people vote democrat. It's commonly referred to as "white guilt."

Doesn't a lot of voters do that throughout history, way before Obama was ever in office? I'm still not sure where you are going with this?

Actually, i'm trying to get your point...
