Just Imagine…
Here’s Nicholas Kristof in his latest column posing a great question:
“Just imagine for a moment if it were the black candidate in this election, rather than the white candidate, who was born in Central America, was an indifferent churchgoer, had graduated near the bottom of his university class, had dumped his first wife, had regularly displayed an explosive and profane temper, and had referred to the Pakistani-Iraqi border …”
I would also add, just imagine that Obama had a teenage daughter who got pregnant, or if his education was like Sarah Palin’s – six years in different universities with finally a degree in Sports Journalism from the University of Idaho.
One more thing: Some worry that Obama’s recent aggressiveness towards McCain is damaging his politics of hope, and that he should stop attacking McCain so much. To them I say don’t you worry. Barack Obama will once again return to his message of unity and hope…it will be on January 9th, 2009 when he is inaugurated President of the United States.
