What people forget to mention is that Obama's black Dad buggered off when he was a kid and was bought up by his white mother and white grandparents. According to the radio a few months back the only reason he got voted in was cos so many million blacks came out to vote whereas they never did before. Also people wanted to get Bush's party out.
Personally i think its what a leader can do for their country rather than the colour of his/her skin.
As for MJ,let the bandwagon roll cos in a couple of weeks no-one will even be talking about it.

Granted... but it's still quite a landmark achievement for a country in which many States still had segregation in schools, public transport & all the rest of it only 50 years ago.
And yep Billy - there's a hell of a long way for Obama to go yet.
It's a pretty poor indictment of the level of ignorance among certain folk... this pair weren't dippy starstruck youngsters, they were middle-aged women like myself! Yet I was the "stupid" one?! OKaaaaaaaay...
Do I mean "indictment"? I think the heat's got to my remaining brain cells... my vocabulary seems to be diminishing and getting somewhat muddled *ahem*
The cat falling asleep on the table in front of me (on top of all my silver and beads & whatnot - ggggrrrrrr) and starting to dream... twitching away and making weird noises... awww cute.
Until it turns into a nightmare and he bounces awake and springs 3 foot into the air, sending everything flying and landing on top of my half-finished tiara! D'oh! Anyone wanna buy a half-finished, somewhat squished tiara?
What made me mad today is a passing conversation with my elderly neighbour. Seems she bought one of those BathKnight things to help her get in and out of the bath. £1600 she was told the price was. She's found out this week(after already paying 4 £100 installments) they have taken another £3200 out of her bank account, for 'payment in full' The cheeky robbing bleep bleep bleep barstewards! She's really upset as £2000 of that was what she had saved to pay for her funeral.
I am absolutely furious and have asked her to dig out all the paperwork she can find for them. Then i'm going to rip them to shreds by whatever means possible.
How dare they take advantage of an 88yr old lady who lives on her own?????
Words fookin fail me, really they do
I hate hearing stories like that... and they're all too frequent
Give 'em hell DC! If they won't play ball, there's always the threat of getting them in the local rags, on Watchdog etc. Take the scum all the way if necessary.
If the elderly lady was misinformed by staff then this is what i call the lowest form of salesmanship ! the salesperson should be fired for unethical business deals and the company charged with fraud , this is theft ! there's no other word for it. Everything you say should be done WB and more.
hi dc you can go to the bank and reclaim the money if it was on a direct debit and i believe you can on a card as well have done it myself on a direct debit hope it helps alternatively a meat cleaver to the fingers did i mention i hate people like that would they do it to a person that's likely to be able to give them a slap no they pick easy targets scrotes and cowards
