Hummer, for your information, I did read the original article/interview about Nader's comments. And I stand by what I've said on this thread about those comments.

I agree with you that "Obama doesn't control the race dialogue in this country, nor do his supporters, and nor do African Americans."

Furthermore, I've never believed that Barack Obama is infalliable. I very much support his presidency, and echo what was said on this thread-that Obama will be the President of all people in the USA not only of African Americans. That doesn't mean that I agree with every position he has taken, or will take, or every statement he has made or he will make.

That said, I'm not going to use this thread or other threads on this forum to list what I agree with Barack Obama about. I also have chosen not to focus on this thread or any other thread on any of Barak Obama's issues and statements that I don't agree with.

You can take issue with these decisions that I have made if you want to. However, these are my choices to make, and I've made them.
