We've never had a shallower or more inept president in our history. He must be tossed out of office!<br /><br />The question I asked in 2007 and 2008 was if Obama were McCain and McCain were Obama, could Obama get elected? If Obama were white and spewing the economic and social garbage that he held so dear, would he be President. Similarly if McCain were black and picked Sarah Palin and promised to continue George Bush's policies could he have been elected? The answer, as you might have guessed, wasn't forthcoming. I'll opine that neither of them would have been their party's nominee under such circumstances as the media, which dares to shape our opinions and has opted away from reporting the news, would not have endorsed either of them.Boruchnoreply@blogger.com
