But amid excitement over Mr. Obama’s historic candidacy and the chance that the country might choose an African-American president within a matter of days, there is an unmistakable sense of anxiety among blacks here that something will go wrong, that victory will slip away.

“They’re going to throw out votes,” said Larone Wesley, a 53-year-old black Vietnam veteran. “I can’t say exactly how, but they are going to accomplish that quite naturally. I’m so afraid for my friend Obama. I look at this through the eyes of the ‘60s, and I feel there ain’t no way they’re going to let him make it.”

Here is Nikita Khrushchev on socialism:

“You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism out right, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands.”

“The only socialist in the presidential campaign is Ralph Nader. There isn’t a snowballs chance in hell that he will recieve a penny from Wall Street for his presidential campaign. But Barack Obama has taken millions from Wall Street. “

Thank you for your reasoned, thought-out comments (as usual), as opposed to the Pavlovian responses of some pseudo-conservatives who have been conditioned to tremble and panic whenever they hear certain key words.

It’s worth pointing out here that among Obama’s major backers are Penny Pritzger, Herb Sandler, Peter Lewis, and George Soros, all of them listed among the world’s richest people. Their common denominator is that they are ALL committed left-wing MULTI-BILLIONAIRES!
