    Hi Roberta,
    Change, of any kind, is usually filled with apprehension, and it isn't unusual to question
    these things. Yes, he does subscribe to what you point out. He is a black man, and why
    wouldn't he. My own Scottish heritage talks respecfully of the old sod. Folks with German
    heritage speak of the mother land. My Jewish father came to America from the "old
    country." I believe that Barack Obama is a man of the people, and I mean ALL the people.
    I also believe that he is an honest man, who speaks the truth.

    I'm not concerened about endorsements.
    The only meaningful one would come from the people, in November.

    I have great respect for Senator Clinton and, needless to say, Senator McCain. But that
    would be more of the same thing that our country has been laboring under for years.

    The time for our country to unite has arrived.
    Be safe and well,

    >Hi Kenny,
    >If one subscribes to "We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land,"
    the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.", where does that leave room for those of
    us not subscribing? As President would his beliefs promote seperatism? Would he be
    believed if he were to address all of us as Americans and not Africans? Is he being
    honest with us? I seriously find the beliefs in conflict for the good of all.
