One could interrupt this term, 'black as an
Ace of Spades' as an identifier of one's
skin color.

Please remember that the person in question,
Sen. Obama, has one black parent and one
white parent. He is not white, he is not black,
he is multiracial as far as his ethnicity is
concerned. Sen. Obama himself chooses to
identify himself as being African American.

Personally, I wish he would identify as an
American American.

Good call Ed.

All this Obama bashing does get tedious after awhile. Reminds me of Bill Clinton. We still get that stuff 7+ years later so I guess it is going to continue with Obama for some time to come. A lot of wasted effort if you ask me. Folks need something to do.

I would be glad to do something else, but when the shop is empty I'm left with discovering my own ways of passing the time.

Ed, relax. It was a joke as indicated by the little smiley dude next to the comment. Everything will be OK, I promise. Unless we elect the spa...I mean man..to be POTUS. Then we're screwed.

Screw 'em! They get enough breaks and perks as it is. They would probably be happy to have 4 red suits in a deck.

The thing about the Obama bashing is that alot of it is unnecessary.

If you examine his voting record, his platform and his speeches and interviews...there is PLENTY of things that should give clear thinking voters pause about the man.

We don't really have to get into his name or Muslim this or that or even bring up his kooky preacher.

Just like John Kerry...this guy's voting record, speeches and actions are enough ammo to use against him. Leave out the funny stuff....it makes the facts lose their impact.

It's bashing when you have stated your point of view and then feel the need to restate it 50,000 times!!

Is it bashing if the subject (Obama) is the same, but the topic changes ??
