    Answer to stupid fantasy land question

    "Now, before resorting to more ad hominem typical of Obamabots, ask yourself this question: would you have been so enamored with him had he been a half Japanese, half white with an association to a Japanese fascist group that believes in Iapanese supremacy and a glorification to Japan's war crimes in WWII?"

    ---

    Yes...if he planned on getting the US out of war that should never have been authorized and waged. And until he got in a Kamakazi plane and headed for Hawaii, I'd support him. I wouldn't be voting for his past associations.
