Obama and McCain Trade Places

Ponder the following:

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across a stage, including
a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished 5th from the bottom of his graduating
class?

What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?

What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe
disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his
standards?

What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long
affair while he was still married?

What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to
pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable
organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
(The Keating Five were 5 US Senators accused of corruption
in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger
Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if McCain could use a computer, and Obama could not?

What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included
discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?

What if Obama spent 5 years in a prison camp while Communist
Chinese fiddled around inside his head?

What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many
occasions, a serious anger management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had made their money distributing
beer?

What if the Obama's had adopted a white child?

You could easily add to this list.
If these questions reflected reality, would the Election numbers be
as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes
positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities
in another when there's a color difference.

Education isn't everything, but this IS about the two highest offices
