Obama should have stuck with his orginal statment. But he knew he had scared many white males. Like I said many whites are still afraid that if a black man gets into power he is going to seek revenge or repartions.
Obama was trying to tell say to them don't vote your fears and cling to those things that give you security while politicians like Bush,Cheney,McCain rob you blind.
He was saying you voted for guns the last eight years and now the government is conducting illigal wiretaps,torturing,and about bailing out big companies. He said you voted religion the last eight years (scared of homosexuals) and now your schools are in a worst mess, rodes and bridges are collasping,cost of food,gas and utilities are sky rocketting. He said you have voted the fear of immigrants and the last eight years corporations keep sending your jobs overseas, CEO's wages keep going up and the workers pay keeps going down. While you are voting guns,religion and your fear of immigrants the white boys who are minding the store are robbing you of the very house you live in.
You white working class folks keep voting your fears, and guess what, you are going to be down at the bottom of the barrel with us black and brown folks. While the 109 million dollar Billary go their merry little way. It is time for a change you can believe in. Obama told is telling the world the truth it hurts but it will "set you free." No he is not God or Jesus, but one person telling the truth can make a difference but this country has been brained washed into believing that only one group has all the answers. "Be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind."
