i have nothing against obama. what i dont understand is the reasoning blacks had for voting for him. just because he is black. that is ignorant. im white and i voted for obama because he had the only different ideas
2:12 pm You must not have a lot of "wealth to spread"
Actually, I wish people would quit using the term wealth. It should be income. He wants to take away a working man's income to give to someone who does not.
For your information blacks didn't vote for Obama because he was black. They voted for him because he cared about all people. Look at the thing bush has messed everything up. Stock market, Two wars,700 Billion day bail-out and the list can go on and on. SO check all of your resources before you make a comment about a certain group.
For your information anon 9:05, Bush didn't mess up the stock market and etc, it start under the Carter Administration and then the Clinton Administration demanded that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac make loans to loan income people that couldn't make the payments and then Mr. Bush has had a Democratic Congress and Senate for the last 6 1/2 years. That's the reason the Bush Administration got blamed for all this mess that the Democratics put this nation in.
Yeah I think folks are gonna be in for a surprise. What really shocked me was that 77% of all Jewish voters voted for Obama! Do they have NO loyatly to their families back home? Did they not see how Israels enemies wanted Obama to win so they could start wailing on Israel with no retaliation from America???
9 :05 i understand that he is the best man for the job. answer this everytime they interviewed a black on tv it was the same thing about being black tahts all. i hope all of you blacks out there realize that he is 50% white thats right. so why is it that the blacks they interviewed didnt say that they voted for a white man.
To all, it doesn't matter which party was at fault, we all as americans have been irresponsible in our careless spending of money that we did not have. The only solution now is that we erase the lines between parties and come together so that we can begin to rebuild our nation for our kids. God will sometimes allow disaster to take place in order to get us to the next level of his divine grace and mercy. So I encourage all to come together in the love of Christ and watch what we can do when we allow him to govern our minds, our words, our thoughts and most of all our hearts. Be Blessed!
I don't think Obama was elected because he's black, I think the amazing thing is that he was elected IN SPITE OF being African American. He was elected because he offered real change for the American people and has the ability to unify instead of divide us. This country clearly needed change after the last 8 years, and I am grateful he will be our president to bring it to us.
please quit saying african american that is what divides us your either african and can go back to dancing and swing from trees or call yourself an american. i promise that will take care of alot of the problem, not one of you have anything in common with an african not one thing. be thankful that your ancestors sold africans to the americans or yall would still be living over there.

Only Satan would have been worse than the Bush regime. Therefore it could be argued that the new administration in the USA could never be worse than the one which divorced the hearts and minds of Americans from their brothers in the international community, which appalled the rest of the world with shock and awe tactics that included concentration camps, torture, mass murder and utter disrespect for international law. Yet in choosing Obama, the people of America have opted to come back into the international fold. Welcome back, friends!
Welcome back, people of the United States, welcome back into the fold of the international community, where you will find friends and not foes, where you will find we all prefer to smile and not to cry and that when we do cry, our tears taste of salt just like yours do, whether we are pink, blue, white, yellow or black.
Martha & 12:43, Concerning support of Israel, since Rahm Emanuel will be Obama's Chief of Staff, I think Israel will okay since his father is an Israeli & he was a civilian volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces during the first Gulf War.
Guess if Obama were really Muslim, he would not have a Jewish Chief of Staff!
You all are dumb! Quit dogging out Obama! Some of yall are this close from losing you own house. So don't sit there and act like Obama is just for the poor and black. GET OVER IT! McCain Didn't win...So move on! My goodness some of you act like little babies and then you wonder why your kids act CRAZY! It comes from you.
9:52--You really summed up this time in history by saying, "The only solution now is that we erase the lines between parties and come together so that we can begin to rebuild our nation for our kids." Also, I am thankful that I am living to see so much joy among our black friends.
Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff, a warmeed over Clintonista who was an executive at Fannie Mae. What happened to the change train? It's off the track in two days and we are back to the same old same old.
I is for presedent OBAMMA! and god blessd us with him. he is going too except all even the peeple that voted for macane. since us peeple got our educaton we can take the high office of the united states of amarica. we cannot be held down no longer.
we say time for a change....that is a change from bush....never said we wanted change from clinton.....he was the greatest.....help is on the way....start the spreading of the wealth....thanks to mccain who put out the ads telling people that obama would give people healthcare and would spread the wealth,, this was just what the mmajority of the people wanted.....jan 20th,2009 cant come soon enough
If McCain was Black and Obama was white - we would have another republican in office today. It made no difference what either had to say or what they could do.
Walter do the world a favor. The news kept identifing the percentages of how white voters were voting.
For reality purposes, why don't you post the percentages of how the blacks were voting. Then allow us to comment on that stat. It's sure to get some action. Unless it's more than you can handle.
Prior to the election, there was nothing to indicate that he WOULD support Israel. If you are depending on the main stream media to give you all the information you are starting out behind. Obama has back tracked, changed his mind, re worded past statements so much that I don't think anyone knows what he really believes or what his real stance is. He is now CinC. I'll pray for him like I have all the rest. If any others don't like the things he is doing then you had just better pray hard too!
Where are we and how did we get there. It appears we no longer trust or forefathers, or we are just to lazy to listen to what they had to say.

9:18, ATTN: FOR THOSE THAT DON'T LIKE OBAMA:
ALL WHITE PEOPLE MUST REPORT TO THE COTTON FIELDS TOMORROW MORNING AT 4AM FOR ORIENTATION!

Martha,
I'm just curious. Where do you get this information that Obama will not support Israel?
11:45 pm Know he is a MUSLIM...and read your history books.
12:43:
You Republicans like to keep harping on that "Obama is a Muslim" nonsense. I guess y'all just can't accept defeat. Get over it.
I don't think Obama was elected because he's black, I think the amazing thing is that he was elected IN SPITE OF being African American. He was elected because he offered real change for the American people and has the ability to unify instead of divide us.

1:24pm I actually accepted it months ago when I started purchasing more firearms and buying food for storage.

2:13 PM you going to get change but not what you expect - and you deserve what you get too.

Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff, a warmeed over Clintonista who was an executive at Fannie Mae. What happened to the change train? It's off the track in two days and we are back to the same old same old.
I is for presedent OBAMMA! and god blessd us with him. he is going too except all even the peeple that voted for macane. since us peeple got our educaton we can take the high office of the united states of amarica. we cannot be held down no longer.
Lol.You need to go back and get YOUR education. Take a look at that grammer.

he wont post anything like that because he's to scared
Prior to the election, there was nothing to indicate that he WOULD support Israel. If you are depending on the main stream media to give you all the information you are starting out behind.
Obama has back tracked, changed his mind, re worded past statements so much that I don't think anyone knows what he really believes or what his real stance is.
He is now CinC. I'll pray for him like I have all the rest. If any others don't like the things he is doing then you had just better pray hard too!
Don't you find out all those details from Exit Polls? Race, ethnicity, gender and all that stuff?
