[quote=ProfessorChaos!;241344]He can read a speach well, with the best of them. For better or worse, I find most of what he says to be either disagreeable or offensive or both. When forced to speak extemporaneously, he comes across as arrogant and condescending. I find hope in threads like this, one in which others see through the clever ruse and wonder what lurks behind the closely guarded veil.
As an aside, I find it very, very interesting that he claims to be the one who can heal the racial divide in American yet is always talking about his race. He says that he wants to move beyond race and yet it is one of his most consistent talking points.[/quote
He is using race as a tool for pandering, what race is he? His mother is white, his father black. His mother raised him alone, where was his father, and he claims to be black. What kind of man is he to disregard his mother in such a fashion with no loyalty to her. This man would literally sell his mother for a chance!It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain

"This man would literally sell his mother for a chance!"
I just love it when someone uses the term "literally" to mean something in a non-literal sense. Or did you really mean to say something literally as ridiculous as what you wrote?

The thread survived a much needed cleansing. It survived a temp closing and re-opening. For oh so short a time...
