Can Barack Obama win South Carolina? Well, the optimist inside me shouts yes, but recent events beg a different response. Each day I watch local news, flipping back and forth between sloppy coverage. Several days ago, one of the local stations had a segment in which the news anchor was interviewing Senator Obama. In her interview she took questions submitted by viewers straight to Obama. The questions were outrageous, but perhaps give us a better view of the mentality Barack would face if he were to gain the Democratic nomination. Most of the questions surrounded the absurd idea of Obama being an radical Muslim. Question after question targeted the same nerve…each looking for a reason not to like him.I am sure Barack is pondering…what to do…what to do…should I spread the radical Islam …which I dont believe in.. or focus on becoming an effective leader of the free world? Black men have it hard enough..let the man concentrate on the latter. Can people not utilize the tools afforded to us in the 21st century to delve deeper into these issues if they are of such importance? While I do understand that many do not have internet access etc…a library card is just a proof of identification away. I heard even more of these questions at my job.
A sampling of those pertinent questions follow:
1. Do you say the Pledge of Allegiance?
2. Are you Muslim?
3.Do you read your Bible everyday?
4. Are they(relatives) citizens of JUST the USA?
5.Are you a Christian?
6.What version of the Bible do you read?
7.Do you believe in the Holy Trinity?
I also heard this one at work from a man on the street…addressing Chelsea Clinton–in town stumping for her mother..
VOTER:Chelsea…the only thing that scares me about this election is Osama,Obama…and Yo Mama!!
So, can Barack Obama win South Carolina? Yes, he can win the Democratic Primary, but the BEAST that is Southern Conservative thought will win in the General Election…like it usually does…That goes for you too Team Clinton..this is a BEAST..no pant suit can tame!!
