Okay TIME, I’m disappointed. In fact, I’m starting to get disappointed with you media in general. It seems “Obamania”, aside from being the least catchy word of all time, is starting to die off by the media criticizing itself for liking Obama despite his “lack of substance.” And the worst is how they are FORCING his race to be the issue. Take a look at this ending.

Obamania is rooted in the belief that 50 Cent, not Barack Obama, represents the real black America.

Back in the real world, Obama is married to a black woman. He goes to a black church. He’s worked with poor people on the South Side of Chicago, and still lives there. That someone given the escape valve of biraciality would choose to be black, would see some beauty in his darker self and still care more about health care and public education than reparations and Confederate flags is just too much for many small-minded racists, both black and white, to comprehend.

Barack Obama’s real problem isn’t that he’s too white — it’s that he’s too black.

Makes me sick, folks. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it’s such a waste of time. The media has started writing articles about why the media loves Obama. They complain that no one talks about his standpoints on issues, but do they write an article examining just that? After all, his website lists ‘em all off in detail.

Nah, that would be too much work. Instead, they go on and on about the LACK of issues being discussed, rather than changing that. It’s like walking up to a house that’s on fire, looking around at the bystanders who aren’t doing anything, and spending an hour or so complaining that no one’s called the fire company without doing so yourself.

I like Obama because he’s bright, charismatic, and I agree with him when he speaks. I don’t care what race or religion he is, I support him.
