I found this on another website. Read and think for yourself.
What IF Things were Switched Around?
Think about it: Would the race be as close as it is?
· What If John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
· What If McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
· What If Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard and wasn't born rich?
· What If the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, following the debate, including a three-month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
· What If Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class?
· What If Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
· What If Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
· What If Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
· What If Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?
· What If Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
· What If Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem?
· What If Michelle Obama's family had made their money from beer distribution?
· You could easily add to this list.
IF these questions reflected a reality…
IF the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
· This is what racism does:
It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.
· And, think of this: the candidates' educational backgrounds:
*Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B. A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J. D.) Magna Cum Laude
*Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B. A. in History and B. A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J. D.)
*John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899
(.....yeah thats it)
*Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study University of Idaho - 2 semesters
(and no, she didn't even graduate)
