Seems most questions around are about him, and none of them is positive. That he's a Muslim, that he's inexperienced, that he's too Liberal, that he did drugs, tetc. Seems like beating around the bush, no?
BTW, whites: just keep reporting me. It takes me two minutes to get a new ID.

The questions you bring up are not innuendo. He's asked if he's a Muslim becuase his grandfather was Muslim, he IS inexpeienced (a freshman Senator), he IS too liberal in the eyes of most (supported by George Soros), and if he's like virtually everyone else in their 40's he DID experiment with drugs.
BTW: I don't give a rat's *** about his color. That's a non-issue for me. If JC Watts ran for president, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
P.S. : The fact that his middle name is HUSSEIN doesn't really help the campaign, does it?

Of course not, there has to be some petty thing to focus on when people either don't know, don't want to know or are afraid of a candidate disagreeing with their precious viewpoint. He's not the first to have pettiness heaped on him and won't be the last.
The campaigns we see today are pale compared to some of years gone by. The election of Andrew Jackson is a prime example of dirty politics.
For some unexplainable reason the Republicans seem better at nit picking and dirty politics than the Democrats. Although the Democrats are no slouches when it comes to that stuff.
Don't even think of a clean campaign it won't happen. Everyone who tries eventually decides to fight back with the same sort of stuff.

I think if his name was John Roberts, there would be no innuendo. Those who keep snarking around because his name is not what we are used to, are simply fearful, ignorant, uneducated non-readers.
You can usually tell the education level and age of a poster by the depth of his/her question or statement. Many are just plain stupid. Of course, they have freedom of speech and thought - which is unfortunate sometimes.

Have you looked at the man? He's whiter than I am, and I'm Anglo-German! Race is not the issue here, but the person. Unfortunately for him, we are fighting Muslims right now, and his name vaguely resembles that of our enemy. Tough to get around in an election!

This has more to do with his name than his race. I think people are just turned off by Barrack Osama. We are at war with radical muslims, what would the world think if we elected a president with a muslim name right now? I personally like the guy but maybe in 8 years.....

So why are blacks asking if he is "black enough?" Nobody's ever happy when there's change.
If he were pink with green stripes, he'd still do a better job than Bush. As a matter of fact, so would my 2 year old.

That's a very valid point.It just shows you that liberals are in some ways as racially dysfunctional as conservatives.

If he were white the media would be laughing at his chances since he has no experience. The only reason he's getting consideration is BECAUSE he's black.

Probably not as much; there would still be some, because that's a large part of politics, but not as much. He IS too liberal, and that's why I personally wouldn't vote for him.
