Thomas Sowell - Obama's Vision

Thomas Sowell was introduced to me by an individual who introduced me to Friedmen. In this video he talks about Barrack Obama. I have been and remain a supporter of the president despite the mounting criticism against him. Even though Sowell is against him as well, I still want to do more research and hear more arguments against the president.

I can admit that I support the president in large part because of his race. I am in love with the idea of a black president. I understand that things have not been perfect but I am not ready to give up on the man as I see so many others seem to do.

Though Sowell makes some very valid points against him, I still want to watch more videos. I still want to give the president more time. In speaking out against the president he mentions Iran and the threat of them getting nuclear arms in the next two years. To me there is little reason for me to fear Iran with a nuke. It could be because I don’t support the existence of an Israeli state, and I know that Iran is an enemy of Israel. So because of that maybe I don’t see the world exactly like Sowell does, and because of that I don’t mind giving Iran time, and giving the president time to show himself a strong and capable leader. I read that last sentence in humor because I don’t meant to suggest that Iran and the president are both threats to Israel. I do mean however that I am willing to give time to a nation and a person who most people are not willing to.

In future posts I will explain my feelings on Iran and Israel. For now, I wanted to spotlight Thomas Sowell, a brilliant thinker.
