Obama Treated Unfairly

To me Barack Obama is the perfect candidate for the presidency. I'm not saying this because I'm African-American, I just really believe Obama has all the tools to become a great president. I am from IL, so I know a little bit about Barack Obama. I know that he's never broken a promise to anyone, and has always pushed to make the state of IL. the best state possible. For some odd reason to me, Barack is being potrayed as a liar and a corrupt politician.

Barack Obama has played it cool taking shot after shot from every single person you could think of, and has not once responded back to the non-sense people have been dishing out. Not to mention the fact that it is his own African-American community that has taken horrible shots at Barack. From a pastor, I believe talking about Barack's mother being trash, and Barack being trash. How could you say those types of things about anyone, especially since both of their parents are deceased. I don't understand how Barack can keep on taking the verbal abuse, and keep his head up with a smile.

Than people have the nerve to say Bill Clinton is our first black president, but when it is one running for office, some of us just turn our backs on him. To make it worse I see more white people out supporting Barack Obama, than African-American people, and that is not the way it is supposed to be. We started the Civil-Right movements for equality, to give the next generation like myself a chance of having a better life, and to one day hopefully get into the postion of having an African-American male or female run for office. What hurts even worse is the fact some of the same people who marched for these rights are the same ones turning their back on Barack Obama. That's not cool at all.

Than Hillary Clinton is pulling out everything she has to stop Obama. Calling Barack a liar, and etc. She even had the nerve to cry because she was not getting the votes to beat Barack Obama. She never once cried about Bill sleeping with dozens of women, and being caught with Monica. I hear people say how courageous she was, I believe it was a calculated plan. I believe in my heart she never once cared about what Bill did, and stayed married to him because she knew when the time was right she would run for office, and she is!

Then Barack getting shots taken at him because of what his pastor said. People need to realize that just because someone close to you says something that could be controversial, does not mean that you share the same views as that person. That's just like saying I meet someone that's not the same race as me, and their parents are racists. Should I say than, if their parents are racists than this person is a racists as well. No you shouldn't because that person obviously does not share the same views as their parents if you're in their house, and are friends. Same thing.

Barack Obama to me did the right thing by not disowning his former pastor. He's also doing the right thing by ignoring all the verbal abuse coming for him, I just don't know if I could do the same thing. To all my African-American people, if you geniunely like Hillary Clinton that's fine, but please don't vote for her just because you don't like Barack's middle name, that's B.S., or don't vote for her just because you hands are in her back pocket, or she's a woman. Please listen to the views. I know I have, and to me Barack Obama is getting my vote for president of the United States.

Chris Paul for MVP?

There are a lot of MVP canidates this year in the NBA. You have Kobe Bryant from the Lakers, LeBron James from the Cavaliers, Kevin Garnett from the Celtics, and the emergence of Tracy McGrady from the red hot Rockets. However, none may not be more valuable to their team then Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets.

True enough, Paul has only been in the NBA for a few seasons, but you can not ignore the numbers he is putting up. Paul is averaging over 11 assists a ball game, and where would the New Orleans Hornets be without Paul on the team. They're shocking the world with their great play, and most importantly, one of the top three seeds in the loaded Western Conference. Paul is making everyone on the ball club ten times more better with his great play. And the notion of he's only been in the NBA for only a few years is B.S. Chris Paul is having a historic season with a team who was not expected to do anything in the Western Conference.

You could pick Kobe Bryant, but what were the Los Angeles Lakers before Pau Gasol got there, and it was just Kobe Bryant? The Lakers barely made it to the playoffs and got put out in the first round. Plus Bryant's continuing complaining of wanting to be traded, because he knew he could not do anything with the Lakers. You could pick Tracy McGrady, but he's missed to many games in the season, and sometimes his numbers just are not there. Not taking anything away from the Rockets impressive twenty-two game win streak, but sometimes T-Mac just is not there. You could pick K.G., but his numbers just does not wow anyone. He has been the main reason why the Boston Celtics have been playing unbelievable basketball, but name an MVP who's averaged less then twenty points a game. So Garnett's unselfishness may work against him. Then there's King James. Maybe he's the next for MVP. This year is all about Chris Paul.
