 I was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa.  Lower Bucks Co. specifically.  Anyone familar with the area would describe to others this historically rich, ethinic deverse and formaly an industrial base of mainly middle class working people.  

From the beginning of the state of Pennsylvania with the settlement at Penn Manor in the sixteenhundreds, through the numerous halls and meeting houses that hosted the founding fathers of this country, and risked their liberty and lives by conceiving the continental experiment in the seventeenth century and launched this great nation.  The historical battlegrounds of Germantown, Brandywine, the site of Gen. Washington's crossing of the ice-packed Delaware river, south to defeat the Hessian mercenaries at the battle of Trenton, NJ.  The brutal winter camps of Valley Forge and the building of the Continental Army. 

The eighteenth century witness the haunting of the battle of Gettysburg, drawing toward the close of the bloody Civil War, and the divinely inspired Lincoln's Gettysburg address attempting to mend the fractured union which culminated with over one half million dead and a generation maimed.

   The majority of those affected by this war were of lower and middle working class whitemen.  My intention is not to debate an issue on race;  it is to valadate and respect the sacrifices of blood and life,  from the Revolutionary War, Civil War all intermitant battles and conflicts through World War I and II.  These people are the lower and middle class working white men who Sen. Obama has infuriated with his portfolio of personal selections and judgment.

  His continued intimate relationship with his self described mentor and spiritual advisor, Preacher Wright the rascist, who has propelled his largely African American congregation with anti-semetic and anti-American rhetoric which is not conducive with Sen. Obama's claim, that he is a "uniter".  This atmosphere which he maintained for twenty-one years, shows pathetic judgment and character in light of his candidacy for President of the United States. 

  It should not be underestimated by the media, politicians and pundit who are attempting to defuse his selfdetermined problems, that being questions of  judgment, honesty and accountability, and not the diversion, as he uses race conveniently to deflect his manner of action.  Pennsylvanians are a shwred lot and find it offensive when they have been DISRESPECTED, regarding their country, community, family AND YES, THEIR PATRIOTISM.  In Pennsylvania he has "awakened  a sleeping giant".  The last time someone said that, that was the beginging of the end!
