Quick Post: Obama has momentum and the media are helping.

After the last debate and really since Obama's big SC win...the media have been quite fervently pushing for Obama. I, of course, think this is great...but those undecided voters may be turned off by it. First of all, I stand very confident on Obama's electability over Hillary (see my latest facebook note) and I think the media agrees.

Watching Countdown the other day, Oberman who is very liberal, began his newscast with a Obama love session followed by a Billary berating. Cool, but don't you tag Obama as this ultra-liberal because he isn't.

I've heard a couple people mention that they're really worried about Obama getting elected. Not because they're racist. No, because of all those other racists out there. If we elect a black man, then someone might assassinate him, they reason.

Now, I'm sorry, but last time I checked white supremacists in this country aren't that stupid. They're ignorant, horrible little people, but they're not suicidal.

If Obama got assassinated, on the campaign trail or in the White House, and it got tied to white supremacists in any way whatsoever, then that would be the end for those organizations. That's the kind of thing the whole world pays attention to and the entire government would come down on them.

So I really doubt that Obama would get assassinated if elected. People need to not use that as an excuse for not voting for Obama and maybe think about the real reasons they don't want to see a black man in the White House.

Okay, now I'll get off my Socially Conscious Chair and shut up.

I've heard this from day one...from my mother even.

Well, whatever...pick up Joe Biden as a veepee and he'll make a great backup president.
