the money is his. Many people gave it to him. More people have donated to Obama then any other presidential candidate.

And I don't remember getting a check for my vote.

So you are saying that the money he will use to pay back the Slaves (he not being one since his ancestors were not slaves in the US)...will be campaign money?

I was not talking to that point.

And Obama would never pick up the mantle of reparations. It would be political suicide.

And no I did not get a stimulus check I am self employed and owed 6k in taxes this year.

You have a bridge in ny? I think you are referring to the golden gate bridge and that is in frisco.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposes offering reparations to the descendants of slaves, putting him at odds with some black groups and leaders.

The man with a serious chance to become the nation's first black president argues that government should instead combat the legacy of slavery by improving schools, health care and the economy for all.

"I have said in the past — and I'll repeat again — that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed," the Illinois Democrat said recently.

And to some, he is too black.

He can't please everyone. But he'll make a fine President.

Frankly, his skin color has nothing to do with his incompetence and lack of experience..

I voted for Michael Steele and Alan Keyes and would gladly vote for them again.

Obama does not even stand in their shoes.. he is not qualified to be dog catcher. Democrats are making a terrible mistake.
