Nader has no place to call him an Uncle Tom because it only refers to black people. I'll bet you've never thought of calling a white person an Uncle Tom, except if his name is really Thomas.

That said, Obama seems to be the brightest hope seen for along time from my point of view across the pond ... after the complete balls up that was the Bush administration ... where can you go but up!!!
on a separate note and quite off topic .... but hey .... I was completely AMAZED at the demonstrations regarding the supposed religion of Obama when the elections were taking place! i cant remember the last time Candidates Religion came up seriously in a UK election .... I dont think anyone really thinks it makes too much of a difference over here! Plus i am sure in the US constitution doesn't it say that religion should NOT be a factor in eligibility of a presidential candidate? I remember thinking how sad it was that it was such a big issue over there ... To be fair if he said he was Buddhist or anything other than a Christian i doubt he would have been even close to winning!! Which is pretty sad ...
anyways .... rant over!
... back to the thread!

I'd just call them a traitor straight out like I have Bush, Pelosi, and others. Anyway, Obama is not black and I don't even think he's an American citizen since he refuses to provide his birth certificate, so maybe even the word traitor doesn't apply to him. I'd just call him a Wall Street schill for taking all that money and then breaking his promises on FISA and then voting yes on the Banker Payoff bill.
