That is probably why close to 80-90% Chinese-American are Democrats.

Barack Obama is an empty suit with a steadfast belief in black liberation theology and Marxism. Spreading the wealth around is his mantra. Cutting taxes for 95% of wage earners? Yeah right! Just like Chairman Mao was the best leader of China.

That’s my fear. I really hope I’m wrong about that, but the more I investigated his past the more worried I’ve become.

Check out this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZjcFp60DJc. This Peggy Joseph lady actually believes that under the Obama presidency she will no longer have to worry about her gas bills or mortgage payments. Wow! No comments there. Obama is likely to win this election. Republicans have been very incompetent in the last 8 years. If Obama wins, the GOP deserves it. The sad thing is that American people will have to suffer from it. Barack Obama is an empty suit with a steadfast belief in black liberation theology and Marxism. Spreading the wealth around is his mantra. Cutting taxes for 95% of wage earners? Yeah right! Just like Chairman Mao was the best leader of China. @Jeffrey from New York,

I can see why people laugh at him and call him the "Chosen One." I swear there are people out there who believe that he could heal the sick with his touch. Everything is going to change, I heard him say today in Des Moines. Yeah, riiiiiiight. I'm a registered Democrat, but I'll be voting for McCain next Tuesday. Give me someone with his feet on the ground and a clear grasp on what can and cannot be done and not a wannabe Jesus. * I’ve been voting for almost thirty years and I’ve never heard a presidential candidate make as many promises as Obama.

That and the economic crisis, what a weird question that was: "What do you think about the American (couldn't understand what the hell he was saying but it ended with weijing or weijin)"? I thought it could be the economy thing but I've yet to learn any Chinese economic vocab. The other thought I have is alot of that ad is 繁体字 which I understand (which guess is like my hanzi knowledge 8 months ago). I still have alot of trouble singing at KTV.

Yes, I voted for the guy, but I haven't volunteered any of my time, canvased neighborhoods, or made any of those annoying "Have you heard about Barack Obama?" phone calls. I don't even have an Obama sign in my window. Frankly, I believe this country exhausts far too much time, money, and effort <em>choosing</em> our leaders rather than fixing the problems which the leaders are presumably put into power to mend. I was just hoping to use a little Cu1tural Revo1ution innuendo to hint at this point...ok I'll get off my soapbox now. Just to clarify so nobody gets the wrong idea, I’m not an Obamamaniac.

On the other hand, not all Chinese Americans see it that way. Check out this web site - http://ChicagoThug.com. 伟大的导师，伟大的统帅 伟大的领袖, 伟大的舵手
