For anyone who argues on behalf of Barack Obama, I suggest watching this documentary before saying anything.

Perhaps below in this thread we can start posting all relevant documentation supporting how Barack Obama has done everything to maintain the status quo in this country. And nothing to promote change, or peace.

agreed, we need to take out the trash- all dems and all republicans must lose their jobs NOW. hes also got us into 50 nuclear pwoer plants, denied the kyoto protocol, is more secretive than even bush, calls biofuels green and renewable, .. in short.. hes a shill and a tool for corporate interests and repeats their lies...

I agree, I am so tired of capitalism! Lets start promoting socialism, it's much more equal and fair

racist, all of you are racists.

I think this is the most ignorant argument, when this issue transcends all races. Ironically just reading a speech by Martin Luther King. Here are some words for you, my friend.

"There is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative anyalysis and objective appraisal."

Its not an argument its a fact. They guy has gone above and beyond to try to fix a broken system that most of us are to lazy to even know and understand how it works. Then during the midterms when we had a chance to take the house and the senate, which would have made it possible to get the items on his agenda passed that would have benefited America, we were busy shopping at Wal-Mart. Dont blame Obama, blame yourself for giving away your money.

Watch the film Al Sharpton. This is an American issue. Stop promoting hate.
