The Iowa straw poll has occurred and Michele Bachmann is the winner. I’m concerned about the future of the U.S. if the right-wing consider this woman to be a serious candidate for president of the United States. She doesn’t even know U.S. history. I expect presidential candidates to be smarter than me and I’ll be glad to take any test alongside her to see which one of us comes out on top and I wouldn’t expect it to be her. I’m not against a woman for president. I would have voted for Hillary Clinton if she had won against Barack Obama.

I hope Michele Bachmann IS the Republican nominee for president as it will assure the reelection of Barack Obama. If by some chance or trickery or criminal activity she should become president I’ll give up hope and just try to last until the natural end of my life. I’ve been waiting all my life for an improved America but if the Republicans take over completely it’ll be a sad end for equality in the United States. By the way, Republicans, I know most of you are racists and most all who are against Obama are against him because he is a black man. Many of you made that clear as soon as he was elected. You’d rather destroy the United States than have a black president. I know where you stand, Republicans, and nothing you do can change what I or millions of people know. It’ll be hard for you to get out of this one. Being the party of racists and haters, that is.
