Is the Race about Race?

This year's race for the presidency is marred by talk of race and gender. Two things not related whatsoever to politics and policy. Let's start out by saying that a qualified and intelligent person from any race or either gender can be a good leader. It is not racist to say that you are not voting for Barack Obama, it is simply the smart choice. Barack Obama's policy will not lead this country in the right direction, case and point. He is an intelligent man and he has done well for himself, but let's keep him in the Senate. We should understand that he is American just like the rest of us and not be scared that he has Muslim roots. He is not a Muslim. He is a Christian just like every other prestident that the United States has had. Do people really think that he will suddenly turn into a radical Jihadist if he gains the presidency? They might, but they are very wrong indeed. If you want a reason not to vote for Obama then look at his Senate voting record and look at his policies; don't look at his face and don't look at his ancestors.

There are also people that believe that because he has an African American father that he will be in constant danger from assassination. Maybe this is true, but this is an awful thought. No matter who the president of the United States it would be a travesty for this person to be assassinated or to be harmed in any way.

Let's think about it. Barack Obama is not the right choice for this country. Not because of his race, not because of his heritage. It's because of his policy.
