I don't want to go into polotics. I'm afraid I might get banned...

 

Ok. I guess I will.

 

1, Obama is going to make it harder for Americans by raising taxes. Not cool.

2, Obama's brother was arrested. I feel suspicious... :?

 

To be honest, I'd pick MLKJR even if he didn't do anything for America.

Are you serious? The man's brother is arrested so you don't trust him? -___________-

 

I'm not even going to get into the tax part of your reasoning. It's just not worth it.

MLK.

He got me out of school. :q

 

lol' date=' it tok some time before that happened. Obama's inaguration day might be a day off as well. :D

 

Anyways, I think I respect MLK better in the area teaching the masses that all people are equal. He seems to have pledged more effort to it. Obama just made history because he wanted to be president. Don't know if that was his intention.

 

This is slightly off-topic, but it is really funny at my school, because my friend says racist things to our Obama-loving fan friend, who can be a little bit of a hot head sometimes. :lol: It is simply hilarious to watch. (We all know that my friend doesn't mean anything he says about Obama, but we call him a sore loser because he wanted McCain to win. [b']He might have won if it weren't for Sarah Palin[/b].

 

I am going to have to disagree with the bolded statement.

McCain didn't lose because of Palin. In fact, Palin secured him a lot of the female vote that normally votes democrat. McCain lost because he supported the Bailout Program more than Obama, who is still going to let it pass.

Stupid government officials.

 

Palin made him LOSE more women voters than gain.

 

 

 

And in the poll; MLK Jr (even though he was kind of a man-whore).

 

@ Tea.Leaf: His original intention is not the point. Intention is never the point. If the outcome is bad and the intention was good, it's still a bad thing. If the outcome is good and the intention was bad, then it's still a good thing.

I have to respect both of them' date=' because they both broke barriers that were considered impassable in their days.

I disagree. I think that, in the time we currently are in, a black man being elected as president is that much of an impassible barrier.

Why would one even compare them?

 

Obama: Got elected. with other peoples help.

 

MLK jr: Changed the laws and the way African-Amaricans think.

 

This is actually a ridiculously valid point. One is a civil rights leader. The other is president. Really, the only thing they have in common is their skin tone.

as of right now, you mean. If Obama can get the nation to open its eyes, then perhaps they will have another thing in common

That's not his goal. And to be frank, right now, he has more pressing issues.
