"I don't trust him," is something people say to hide their racism.

@Woiyo9,

I didn't say you were a racist. And maybe racism is the built in excuse if Obama loses. Does that make my statement any less true? Do you really deny that this phrase is used to mask racist feelings towards Obama?

The visceral hatred toward Obama displayed on this site and on the campaign trail points to something fundamentally wrong....

Really? I mean, you read about communist systems killing something like a hundred million people over the last century and there's something fundamentally wrong with hating communism???

@engineer,

Patrisen? Why? I do not agree with many of McCains ideas. I am also not enrolled in any political party.

My position will always be that these politicians need to earn my vote.

Character is in the sys of the beholder. I am concerned about his past associations and policy decisions. It matters to me who your friends are or were.

Voting record is a problem to me. Neither party has demonstrated to me that they hold the license for ideas. Compromise is essential in govt. Obama voting either present or with the Dems demonstrates an inability to be open minded and compromise.

Obamas ecomonic plan has changed with the color fo the leaves. I have no confidence he can work with this Congress and I predict his next budget will show tax increases at even lower levels than thoses stated by Gov. Richardson (120K).

That is my opinion. You have yours. Let the people decide.

"I don't trust him" is I think more often a statement regarding Obama's perceived effeminacy and/or elitism than it is his race.

effeminacy? That's a new one on me. It never occurred to me that he was effeminate at all, and if he were, so what?

a great number of pro's concluded that perceived effeminacy is what did the Dukakis campaign in, this stuff matters to people who turn in ballots, that is so what.

Indeed. It heads up my "life's silver lining" category.

This reminds me of Nixon confiding in a young lad
who attended a dinner party, after Nixon resigned from the Presidency.

Tricky Dicky advised that:
u "run on the right, and govern in the center"
as it had been his own practice to do,
thereby abandoning the conservatives who had elected him.

@kickycan,

Did you consider some (black and white) people may not trust Obama because they feel he is too closely associated with anarchists and racists? I do not trust him because I know I am not a racist. I have a friend who is always using words like superior and "elite" as if he has his own class of intelligent beings that he is a part of. I don't trust him either. Does that make me a racist or an anti-racist?

@kickycan,

What actual race, is he? Someone said he had a "White" mother, so he can't be black.

People that try to make human value into a political statement of control are in fact, the racists.

"I don't trust him," because he is his mother's ****-stain.

As a general rule,

You are off the charts nuts....without working together humans are nothing, without trust we can accomplish NOTHING. The global economy is falling apart because of lack of trust amongst the players, right now and right in front of your eyes, and yet you can make the quote above. The disconnect between the outside world and your inner world is so complete that you are lost.

@OmSigDAVID,

The whole objective of voting for a president, to put someone on a pedestal worthy of being worshiped to keep the collectivist paradigm going. Putting a ****-stain on a pedestal, is counter intuitive.

If BO wins, the powers that be, will run the risk of the masses waking up to the fraud of the collectivist paradigm.

The next line in that attack is that we need "someone who is not a pussy fighting the war on terror" (paraphrasing).

I have heard a lot of people say about Barack Obama, "I don't trust him." While this is a perfectly reasonable thing to feel, many times it's just some words that are acceptable to say that mask the racist sentiments that often hide just beneath them. Out of the people I know who have said this to me, some of them later admitted they'd never vote for him because he's black, and others are people who I know for a fact have negative feelings toward blacks and muslims, and are usually the first ones at any gathering to break out the offensive racial jokes.

So if you hear somebody saying this phrase, tread carefully. You may just be in the presence of a closet racist. They may not even know that they're doing it. But in a lot of cases, it's the way it is.

Do you agree? Why or why not?

I agree. Hate and discrimination are still very much alive in this country even if it is disguised rather than blatant. After all the desperate lies and smears have been debunked, the only thing the "closet racists" have left is to shrug their shoulders and claim a general sense of mistrust. It goes sort of like this:

Debra Law : I agree. Hate and discrimination are still very much alive in this country

Hate is an emotion that can only be felt by the person that is actually hating, then projecting their own hatred by claiming that others hate.

No one can think or feel for someone else.

strangely enough, it appears that some would. i just flipped on fox and there's cavuto interviewing.....wait for it...

and some people are running around kvetching about obama being called a messiah.

what's next? "one nation under Joe"? "in Joe we trust"?

if Joe "the messiah" walks on water, it is only because he's unlicensed and had no idea how to properly fix the broken pipe in the basement.
