Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader is again slamming Barack Obama. ABC News reports Nader says Obama will not make the kind of African-American president that he and other civil rights supporters had hoped for.Apparently the "right kind" of African American president would look and act like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The Dems tried that in 1984, 1988 and again in 2004, and neither of the "right kind" African Americans got very far. Even the Dems didn't want them.
"People who have fought the civil rights battle... would often talk about, 'look what would happen if we had an African-American president'... it doesn't look like it's going to be what we all thought it would be," Nadar said.
Nader also says he lost respect for Obama because the senator opposed the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Nader told the Rocky Mountain News in June that Obama was trying to "talk white" and was trying to appeal to "white guilt" during his presidential run.
Obama dismissed those comments, saying Nader was just trying to get attention.
