What a load of old rubbish.

"There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American," Nader said.
How's that for accuracy? The man is half African by birth, wholly American by background and as for acting or speaking white... what? He was raised by a white family, he is as white as he is black. Why on earth shouldn't he sound like his mother rather than his father?

Anyway, if he wanted to emulate his father, he'd be in Africa now having abandoned his daughters, speaking Swahili. Not listening to rap and wearing baggy pants in da hood.

How curious. Why? You implied you might do that. Why did you not vote - for them or for anyone?

So he could grouse about whoever won, and say I didn't vote for him. It's a cop out.

Nader needs to realize that if Obama didn't "act white", he would have no chance of winning the election. Look how the public took Reverend Wright.
