i like obama because he's black. and not because he's black and i'm black but because he does represent hope. hope in a sense that if he is elected that opens the true gates of possibility. a blackman running for the presidency of the united states of america is huge. it's monumental!!! if he wins then that means one day we will, have a female president, one day, we will, have a gay president, an asian american or a mexican president. i don't follow all the political  hoopla because i've heard it all before. it's like my college english-professor told me. if a politician says that he's got the answers, then you ask him two questions..."how much is it gonna cost; and who's paying for it?", the proof is in the pudding. politics and religion are some of the stupidest pieces of discussion.and i don't engage in them with others. i feel that you might as well ask me howcome i can say "nigga" and you can't. it's pointless.
