Wally said, "Who said they were? "

If you listen to the Main Stream Media, Obama gets 95 %, 97 % of black
people and gets high percentage of whites who feel guilt without analysis of
the man's background, beliefs, real political contributions, etc.  

I have said it before and say it again, I have been fortunate to be
personally acquainted with people who have held high political office, in
both parties.  I have known many good, honest and dedicated people in that
group.

I have personally known people of all races who were honest leaders.   

I have also been exposed to devious and down right crooks.  I access Mr.
Obama as less than honest and more devious.  

See attached political cartoon:

It was posted on this forum by one of those behind 'Obama' that he, 'Obama,
is a friggin genius’.  I have not seen any evidence of superior intellect. 
He has not submitted his college record as real proof of achievement.  All
that may be the result of quotas, glibness and parroting back the
professor’s views.

Rather my assessment is that most members of this forum possess equal or
greater intellect and abilities, you included.

I have seen too many Elmer Gantry’s to follow one on so little evidence.  I
have too often experienced people who had the ability to look you or others
in the eye and constantly lie.  I believe he is a polished deceiver.
