You may ask why I picked John Edwards and Hillary over President Obama at the time. Well it comes down to the fear I had for the safety for a black President and his family. I guess it comes from living around racism all my life to the point I have become a recluse and feel most white are racist. The election proved me wrong about most whites in the nation as a whole; but I live in the dirty south and there still has not been a time that I have not had fear for the safety for the President and the First Family. Just a few months ago I stopped by a house down the road from me; where an elderly racist told me that President Obama is a very smart man and I did not know where he was coming from; the he said if he had not picked Joe Biden he would have already had a bullet in him. That is the crap I have to live around and I arm myself against racist like that; I myself live in fear of such idiots that pass their poison to their children. As you know I was raised in a racist family and because of that and to look good in the eyes of my parents I shot a school bus with black children on it at the age of twelve. The bus driver must have thought it was a rock; being that the gun was a 22 rifle and the ammo was 22 shorts. All of these years I am still thankful I did not hurt anyone; I may have been a different person today. And right now it is still President Obama 2012.
