Many don’t know it, but they will benefit from Obama presidency
Commenting on Bruce Murray’s letter about, “Knowing little about President-elect Obama’s personal background.” I think the election proved the research about who he is. People are still trying to label him as a Muslim, a person that goes to a church that spews hatred.
Well, where did America get its own hatred for the black people of this country? Having a race of people labeled as slaves, second-class citizens. Some people try to claim, “slavery was not their doing.”
The Civil Rights movement began in the black churches of this country. Rev. Wright is a person that speaks the truth about the way this country treated black people. Has Rev. Jeremiah Wright killed anybody? Has anyone in his flock gone out and bombed any government buildings? Dr. Martin Luther King called Gov. George Wallace a racist. Was he wrong?
Who killed King? Who killed President Kennedy, President Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X or heads of states in other countries? This country has tolerated the killing of foreign leaders for the betterment of Americans.
As, Mr. Axelrod told Obama that now was the time to run so your voting record and stances could not hold you back, just as it did John McCain.
I hate it when people try to start an argument with no facts. Harvard, M.I.T., Yale, Tuskegee, Princeton and even Auburn are available for knowledge enrichment. You will benefit from the Obama years.

Right now, we will not know how good or bad the so called new administration will be. In many respects it looks like the Clinton administration. Where is the change??

Yes, we will benefit from the Osama years. We will lose Constitutional Rights, personal freedoms, get to pay higher taxes to support those added to the welfare rolls, lose Social Security benefits, and transform this great country into a socialist state.
Yep, we will definitely benefit.
