If he starts leaning towards the "White" side too much, some Black people begin referring to him as a 'not real Black person', and won't vote.

If he leans too much to the Black side, some white people will not vote for him.

I hope he wins though. Once the pressures of the campaign are gone, he is free to do what he wants. I wonder what he will actually do.

That's actually the change his campaign is based on: fried chicken and cream soda at state dinners.

He has to appease both Whites and Blacks, which is a hard thing to do.

Sorry I am afraid McCain will defeat him by asking, "Can you elaborate about the change you talk about?"

And Obama will beat McCain as the economy worsens, and McCain is still blabbering on about the war.

Well, since he's only half-black, I don't really think that should be a problem for him. I don't think other black would refer to him as "not real". And if people are going to vote on looks then the US will never go anywhere but downhill.

i agree. i was listening to this guy on talk radio and he was pulling random people off the streets and asking them who they were gonna vote for and those who said obama were asked why and all of them answered 'because he's black'

look, i'm woody! howdy, howdy, howdy!

Does that really work?  Can you just say "not being prejudice" and suddenly your statements aren't?

No, you are incorrect. I just stated in my post that some Black people have a problem with him being Half-African. They believe that he is not a true Black person, because his Blackness is not "homegrown". In addition to the fact that he was raised by Whites.

It's a fact.

But McCain will ask him, "Okay leave war since you are empty on ideas, what will do for the economy?"
