ok...ok...I just want them to do whatever it takes to protect us!!
Via the right channels.
Here's a story on it, if you are interested:
The NSA's domestic program, as described by sources, is far more expansive than what the White House has acknowledged. Last year, Bush said he had authorized the NSA to eavesdrop — without warrants — on international calls and international e-mails of people suspected of having links to terrorists when one party to the communication is in the USA. Warrants have also not been used in the NSA's efforts to create a national call database.
Berk, it's not an issue of being gentle or "PC", what you said just did not make much sense to me.
What would make you say he thinks he is white? He married a full black woman. Most people who think they are white do not do that. He attended a definitively Black church. Most people who think they are white do not do that. He has been involved in efforts within the Black community practically his whole life. Most people who think they are black do not do that. His social circle does not reflect that he thinks he is white. His personal statements do not reflect that he thinks he is white. So what are you left with?...The fact that he thinks he can be President? The fact that he is educated? (that is not a rhetorical question, I would really like to know why you think he thins he is white).
I'm not even going to ask about him "preying on those who know they are black". I'm not sure I even want to know what that means.
Berk, I had to leave but I have a few minutes now. I did post this sincerely looking for an answer. I am not trying to be in your face about this, I am certainly not a radical anything. However, I do feel like it is important that people are aware of what they are really saying when they say things (particularly my Apostolic brethren). If I am off base in my assessment I welcome feedback from you or anybody else. I am here to broaden my scope as well.

Really, I was trying to ruffle Rico's feathers.. but it didn't work.

I thought it was way off too. Obama embraces being black.
