Is it possible that our potential future vice president is racially biased? One would hope that after all that our country has learned from past mistakes, we would not have to even address this question. I, as well, have hoped that but I am beginning to think that Senetor Sarah Palin, the Republican Party's running Vice President is using her skin color to over power Obama. A recent news article that I read at http://news.aol.com/elections/article/palin-says-obama-pals-with-terrorists, discusses Palin and her claim that Senetor Barrack Obama has been "palling around with terrorists". She accusses him and then makes a statement that I see to be quite questionable. She argues, "this is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America". She is implying that she knows how American citizens see their country and that she sees it the same way. It seems that she is implying that Obama is some sort of foreigner/outsider with a alienated view of our country, and it just so happens that Obama is of a different race than the stereotypical "American". Palin is using her "American" appearance as a way to reel-in voters. According to the article, "donors on a greeting line had encouraged her and McCain to get tougher on Obama" but it looks like she is only going to hurt her own campaign with this one.
Although I do not agree with Palin's attempts to win over the crowd, and her claim that Obama is involved with terrorists, I must, shortly, note upon on Obama's corrupted view on Foreign Policy issues. He thinks he is going to be able to solve all of the issues that our country has by sitting down with the ruthless leaders of some of the most corrupted countries in the world, by talking with them? By doing this, he would be giving them a chance to justify their wrong-doings. Why should that ever be allowed? He thinks he can convince the leader of Iran to stop nuclear weaponry. Obama is more focused on global warming issues than he is about our conflicts with the Middle East. Obama seems to be a little too non-chalant in this area, for me. Other than that, i think his motivations and intentions are going to take him very far in the upcoming election.
