Now, though I give props for Obama’s win in Iowa, I must keep things in perspective. I am no Obama fanboy. In fact, posts like this and this should indicate to people where I stand on Obama. Neither he nor any other candidate has earned my vote, yet.
You see, I like the idea of change. However, change can mean anything. Or, worse yet, it’s easy to talk of change but, I have heard so much lip service given to the notion that I have to question if a person is truly going to deliver on what they claim. With that being said, sometimes you have to look at a persons past actions/statements to determine if you can believe them. This applies for Obama or any other candidate but, since I am talking about Obama, specifically, I have to share with you an article that appeared last month on ZNet. It’s called, Obama Speaks: “Oh Great White Masters, You Just Haven’t Been Asked to Help America” and offers another view on the thoughts and actions of Barack Obama. It’s a good read and I encourage you to check it out.
As voters, it shouldn’t be just about who we find most electrifying or most electable. We also need to know if our interests will be represented.
