Blacks ``have an ax to grind, and they are going to grind it,'' he said. ``If he gets elected, this country is in for some real troubles.'' Michael Carpenter, a 65-year-old tour-bus driver.
Well Michael, it seems that it is you with an ax to grind. Electing Obama is not our free slap a white person today card. It was never about that, it's about a change and a new direction for our country.
It amazes me how strong ignorance is in this day and age. If you are poor and suffering from the economy, would you want to continue suffering? No! You would want to get out, be financially stable and secure in your job, right? And would you let a foolish belief keep you from that freedom? I hope not, however that's not the case in these middle American towns.
My only ax to grind will be towards ignorance like this. This has to stop if we are going to get anywhere. If people allow mess like this to keep them down, then they can't blame the government or the president. They can only blame themselves.

It's racist comments like this that make me ashamed of being white at times. How people can rationalize this type of thinking is beyond me. It also has alot to do with being uneducated and buying into the fear factor of what you do not understand.
Axe to grind?, I would imagine I would have an axe to grind coming from a slave past and having to be constantly reminded that there are people who haven't gotten beyond their own predjudiced problems. This man belongs to McCain and I hope they both go the way of the dinosaur. This is the 21st. century, for goodness sake. Obama in 2008!!
