what im thinking...

the stomping is over, the unlimited fliers being sent to me asking me to vote for Mr. A over Mr. B is no more. no more, who are you voting for? vote for Mr. Man. ok? Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of "These United States".
But me being the engineer that i am, i have opted to doctor some of the facts from this election cycle. im not against obama, im not sure why i have decided to attend this school of thought but one thing is sure, i've been thinking these things for a minute. i dont know if its boredom or my love for viewing things different (thinking outside of outside the box) that has prompted this blog entry. but whatever it is got me thinking good.

would i have voted for McCain if he hadnt picked Sarah Palin? would i still have voted obama if his VP pick had been someone like Palin? would i have voted democrat if the nominee had been a Biden or a Clinton? Would i have voted for McCain if McCain/Palin hadn't started spilling verbal constipation by making such comments about Obama being socialist/terrorist/muslim/anti-american the list goes on till etc.
Some argue that most people of color voted for him because he is of color as well, whatever happened to the fact that he is hybrid. what reason would be given for the majority who are not like him yet voted for him.(bandwagoners u might say, correct?) or did they support him so as not to be labelled the "R" word? Al Sharpton contested a few times b4 him, Jesse Jackson did same but there was not this much support for them as Obama got. could it be that he is actually different and could deliver? would Americans ask for his head in a short time or would they allow him time as they did for Bush to mush things up?

all these questions i raised i might never get answers to, not like im expecting to anyway but i felt i needed to ask them.

These are not questions with answers. I am inclined to call them rhetorical questions. questions to be mulled over. So there. glad you updated I was beginning to think I will have to come to "wherever it is you reside in" and whip u but i am glad.

i have argued this so much so that i'm out of breath

nope, Obama would NOT have stood a chance with someone like Palin
McCain would have had more of a fighting chance if he hadnt picked palin imo
Obama would have had it easier if he were a Biden/Clinton

too many questions...
don't mind all of them looking for something "people voting for him because of race or because he just might have a large penis"..i've read and heard it all. even somewhere plenty people are saying he is not the first "black or african american" president because he is half white half kenyan. As soon as the guy messes up they would know how to call him black oh..these people sef If one half white half black man comes to rob them the first thinking they would say is black. useless
