Judge Judy: Obama Supporter

Guardian:

I ask [Judge Judy] about the election. She says it is touch and go. She is a friend of McCain - "a real meat-and-potatoes guy" - but likes Obama. He represents youth and hope and the capacity to trust, since no one knows anything about him. Everyone wants to vote for him - but in the quiet and secrecy of the voting booth, who knows what will happen? Caution may triumph over trust.

A pity McCain didn't choose her, rather than Palin, for his running mate. Her idea of solving juvenile delinquency by having every woman implanted at birth with a contraceptive chip, to be taken out only on request, might cause some controversy. But one can see her point. At least every child born would be a wanted child, and not - as she sees it as being in the US - the result of an accident and a bottle of vodka.

She believes in the legal system. "All those good people huddling behind bars in gated communities - it's the wrong way round. The others should have the bars." And as I go she says, "It took them 13 years to get OJ Simpson but they got him. What goes around, comes around"

[toocoldout]

Did she say that she's supporting Obama or simply that she like him?

[grantlingel]

If a psychopath like Judge Judy supports Obama, EVERYONE should.

too bad someone didn't insert a contraceptive chip into Six Pack Palin - she is still breedin',

[LeeCalif]

Interesting article. I enjoyed reading about her.

[JScott]

I wish she was running for president, they she could just tell everyone to ZiP IT!
I'd vote for her.

[munki]

View it as... she is a woman do not wish to be associated with VP candidate...

Judge Judy will vote for mccain, she gives minorities a harder time in her court room.

[CaliTLC]

She is too smart for that nonsense. And, she gives everyone a difficult time in her courtroom.

[RainDance33]

I have seen no evidence of that. You have to admire the woman, she sees straight through the BS most people enter her courtroom with, and I have not seen her play favorites to either race, gender or age. She is an equal opportunity smack down queen. Even if you don't agree with her you surely have to admire her tenacity and for me she is a winner. (She is clearly and admirer of intellect, I would be surprised if she did not vote fore Obama, just a hunch)

How Racism Works!

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said?

What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?

What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the "Keating 5"?

What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama had an unwed, pregnant daughter?

What if McCain was a Muslim?

If these questions reflect reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?

This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in a person and emphasizes negative qualities in another. Now ask yourself this question. Is this the way Jesus taught us to treat each other?

[wmafoune]

Good one.

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

Good eleven.

[JohnnyBoyyy]

EXCELLENT!!!

YES, race is still a factor in our country. BUT why oh WHY would ANYONE risk America's future to vote for war mongering, influence peddling, bottom-of-the-class, erratic, spoilt Navy brat, McSame's erratic behavior???

Get real America - it's the 21st century! HOW can a person's COLOR make them so different that you would vote for the continued destruction of America?

This is OUR Time - This is OUR Moment.

Obama/Biden '08/12!!!

[Hare]

Exactly! and what I find the most detrimental is that there are millions, I mean millions of folks who will base their vote on the skin issue alone and some have convinced themselves its not because of race. I have hope for the future and the youth though, so I know at least in this regard the other numbers will keep dimishing. Now if only my hope extended to the financial situation....

[Nancy84]

It is what it is. You can't make up for it We can only try to rise above it. This is a new day when blacks and whites are coming together as a colorblind movement to elect the next president of the United States: Barack Obama

[FarmetteReport]

Exactly! Except that the Muslim thing is not apt here unless you ask "what if McCain's father was a Muslim?"

What if Obama had a Kenyan "witch doctor" pray over him (the way Palin did)?

[fabhell]

This is an horrid debate/ Who the heck is Judge Judy anyway?! She's a crashing bore.

Let her hang herself. It's only Justice.

[LITU]

More belligerent, tough talk B S. Just what this country needs. She always sounds like more of the same to me.

Obama is 47-years old. He has a long history, has written two books, and has made numerous public statements. He has shown academic aptitude; he was a very good state Senator and an pretty good Senator, who has moved from the center-left to the center. As far as the world knows, there are no real scandals. He got close to one with Rezko, but no laws were broken. It just "felt" wrong. There is no history of infidelity. Obama is a square and a nerd. Now compare this to EVERY CANDIDATE IN BOTH PARTIES during this election cycle. How many scandals, indiscretions, and affairs do you see? Scads.

Yet, Judge Judy says that "no one knows anything about the guy." Does she believe this, or is she just asserting her age?

[cobobs]

"Nobody knows Obama" is getting tired. I hope they do not mean biblical knowledge! All they need to do is read.

[LeeCalif]

No. You're wrong. Obama has moved from center left to center right.
He supports Israel unconditionally.
He voted for wiretapping Americans. FISA.
He says Russia was the aggressor when it's been proven that Georgia invaded South Ossetia.
Stating Russia was the aggressor and that he will rearm Georgia is setting up a new Cold War.

He said he will move the war to Afghanistan but leave around 40,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and 55
permanent U.S. military installations.
Afghanistan will become Vietnam II. (Didn't we learn from what happened to Russia, there??)

He has changed MANY of his positions.

Why was Nader blocked from the debates?
Because Nader would stop this lowering of expectations and B.S.
Nader would stop the war in Iraq. Leave Afghanistan alone. Stop the Bailout.
Hold Israel accountable and stop the occupation of Palestine.
Nader is in this race. Check out his videos on Youtube and his website.

Nader is on the ballot in 45 states. Increase your expectations before they disappear !!

[qwr]

I think we define the "center" differently. Unfortunately, all the aggressive, nonsensical positions you list constitute the center.

[Nancy84]

So true. If they don't know, it's because they are not listening.

[odoreida]

This story doesn't say Judge Judy is "an Obama supporter." It only says she "likes" him. Hardly the same thing.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

Thought it was tax season and you were too busy to post, Neo.

Going to have another meltdown?

[ZimboChick]

lol was wondering where 'they' have been for the past couple of days

[odoreida]

Stalker.

[KarlaElisa]

That contraceptive chip at birth was MY idea!!!!
