I'm voting for Obama because he's qualified, charismatic and progressive -- but his blackness seals the deal.
  • more Kuriya-isms

    if I had even the slightest doubt what an idiot Kuriya is before, this piece confirms it. He is so terminally addled by his fashionable if poorly reasoned uber-liberal thinking, that almost nothing he writes has the virtue of either compelling logic, or even adequate journalism for that matter.

    Joining the slavish crowd of Oblahma-worship without compelling reasons pretty much makes exactly this point about Kuriya--a knee-jerk leftist who really feels much better about himself , now that he has come out for a black person!

    Nevermind that this candidate hasn't any semblance of credentials to assume what's arguably the world's most powerful position; that's not important to profound fashionistas, of whom Kuriya is almost a caricature. Many of us are in amazement at the rush to support a Oblhma, since his blackness for many rational folks is neither a reason to support or not support him.

    And his conspicuous unwillingness to condemn Islamic radicalism and fascism is very concerning, with regard to his willingness to take on our greatest security challenge.

    It's possible that for Kuriya, given his idiotic rantings about the Middle East situation, andhis apparent overweening sympathy for the bomb-makers of Gaza, may find OBlahma's weakness on Islamofascism as a big positive!

    There are many of Salon's readers with whom I've spoken who truly wonder why in the world a respected publication like yours would keep this very shallow thinker on your otherwise esteemed editorial staff!
