I am not a black voter and I don't pretend to know where they stand on voting for Barak Obama.  However, I do wonder if it bothers them that the media assumes that black people will vote for Obama based on his color?  If I were black I would be offended that the media portrayed my vote as being  based on color and not competency. 

Personally, I am not voting for Obama.  It has nothing to do with his color, but his lack of experience. He may be a great speaker and motivator, but I am not convinced he can run this country.  Yes, I would vote for a black president if I thought they were the right candidate. 

Secondly, I am a woman and I am irritated that people assume I will vote for Hillary Clinton just because she is a woman.  Hillary does not get my vote either.  I have heard plenty of talk radio personalities (and other media outlets) say that women voted for her when she got emotional, etc.  That is just not true.  No, I am not sure I would ever vote for a woman president at this point.  It's just my personal belief that a male should lead our country, especially when most of the world leaders are men. 

This is my reality.  What is yours?

The media is making way to much of this Oprah thing.  I like Oprah, but think her decision to support Obama is ridiculous.  I wonder what part race has played in her decision?  Obama is not qualified to be the leader of this great nation.  He is a first term senator with no  experience.  He is nieve when it comes to foreign relation policies and he obviously doesn't have the back bone to defend this country from radical muslims.  

Are there any other Austinites in this town who are disgusted with our city councils way of burdening property owners.  It seem all they do is sit around and think up more BS for us to abide by.  Before long they will be wanting to tell us what toilet paper we can use and how many squares per butt wiping.  I can see it now,  how many times do you exhale per day and what impact does that have on the environment? Next thing you know we'll all be walking around with fart bags attached to our back sides to measure our carbon butt print.   I'm certain they will find a way to tax it.
