Sen. Barack Obama’s Main Problem Now Is to State the Very Obvious


Finally, the most singular disputation of the current U.S. Presidential race is finally put forth into the wide open as Associated Press reports how even a substantial portion of the white voters from the Democratic Party could turn away from Sen. Barack Obama and vote for Sen. John McCain instead. I am actually a bit in amazement now about how the early polls show Sen. Obama still toe-to-toe with Sen. McCain, on equal footing, despite the many negativity of the present Bush Administration, the unpopularity of Pres. George W. Bush, the costly Iraq War, the current economic downturn in US economy and the serious Palin debacle.



The answer is merely one thing, and it’s none other than race; just as I thought it would be, or perhaps many of us had thought it would be.



Statistics shows that a third of the white voters from the Democratic Party have deep resentments about the black American community, seeing them as being “lazy,” “violent,” and responsible for their own troubles.



Stamford University in fact has just made a study determining how the number of white voters that might turn away from Sen. Obama could even be larger than the margin of the 2004 US Presidential Elections, where Pres. Bush defeated the then Democratic Party nominee Sen. John Kerry by just 3 percentage point among popular votes and by mere 34 electoral votes of 538.



If the surveys remains as close as this until November then Sen. Obama might just miss the train to the White House as where a third white Democrats could remain anonymous at present and then turn away from him when election day comes.



And that tells us, as many of us still suspected, that America still has problems with race, especially with the African-American sector, fifty years after segregation in America had ended.
