    Hey tree of life

    How old are you? Do you make $150,00 a year and have to give up your money to give welfare checks to people who do not want to get out of bed? If you are not, no wonder you feel that way. But if you had to work extra hours and give up your money for someone who just feels like not woking, you would not be posting that message on this board. Sorry, "white girl" but you are wrong

      I don't worry about my tax $$ going to those who have no interest in working, but I am glad to know that the laborer at the auto plant who worked there for 30 years and just lost his job through no fault of his own will have a safety net to help him get to his next job without losing everything he has. I also am glad to know that the money is going to the single mother who lost her husband in Iraq and had to choose between paying the rent or buying food for her baby. I'm glad that money is going to help out all of those who have faced challenges that were no fault or choice of their own, to give them a hand up and not a hand out. That is what America is really about, not hording all the money you can and letting your fellow man go without.

      Actually , I am educated and My husband and I make over 150,000 a year . I do not support welfare to those who dont want to get out of bed. However, we have big issues in this country and McCain was offering the same mess. Your comments and views are so racist. I rather speak with someone much more educated and open minded. Many people voted for Obama not just blacks. Educate yourself and stop being so angry.

      Heyjude20,

      You're not making $150,000. It's extremely evident from your comments. The majority of people on welfare are poor white people. Do your research... Make sure to use some of your $150,000 for it!

    Comment: No bitechabad

    We are not sour - we are upset that a socialist, inexperienced bi-racial, anti white, anti semite and anti american got into the White House. And also, black people are smarter that white people. Black people know how to get ahead by ripping off the government, ripping off hard working white people, get free handouts and cry racism at the drop of a hat. Well, let's hope the table turns now and white people stand up and shout "We are not going to take this anymore!". Also, white people get ahead the old fashioned way - they earn it.

    Hateful, hateful, hateful. I hope you do not have children. What in the world will you be able to teach them about tolerance and love for others that are not like them? Prejudice and misconceptions about other cultures
    come from shear ignorance. No one is better than any one else based on RACE. Why is President Obama anti-American in your eyes? It is the hateful comments on this panel that keep racism, rage, doubters,
    hate mongers and separators alive. Too many people hate others of a different race, they hate God, hate gays, hate Jews, hate their wives, hate their childeren and hate themselves. As the time draw near to God returning (and He is coming back) 'the love of many shall wax cold'. We will never live on this Earth in unity because Satan who is the prince and power of the air, rules here. So what you see is what you get. But, we can all do better about policing ourselves and not giving into the hate and fear that is so prevalent.
    African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Jews and Gentiles are all here to stay until the day of Rapture - I would be more concerned about getting my spirit right with God, then worrying about the color of my neighbor.

    Why do black people refuse to admit that Obama is WHITE! His mother is white which makes him WHITE! Hey Obama, why not have Tawana Brawley, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the women who said she was raped at Duke University part of your cabinet? By the way, a woman in my office who happens to be black just asked to borrow a dollor but I gave her five, just getting used to spreading the wealth! LOL!

      you arrogant SOB. i bet if he did put those people in his cabinet he would run this country way better than what you selfish arrogant republicans did. grow up you really sond like an racist ***!!!!!!!

Now are you racist, why could you have said to her face I din't have a dollar to give you. Waht I have is for me and only me. The truth you would wait to talk about her behind her back about what you just did. What a big person you are. Now why are you not President!

        It doesn't matter what color he is; he is the PRESIDENT besides it wasn't the blacks that said if you have any african-american blood in you that you were black it was the whites so go figure

    • Posted By: snowflakes @ 11/06/2008 12:10:38 PM

      This person is just plain ignorant. It doesn't matter what color you are, all that matters is he is PRESIDENT and it wasn't the blacks that said if he had any african-american blood in him that he was black it was the whites that stated it. I feel that he will be good for this country, whether black, white, pink or green.

  • Posted By: Reagan1984 @ 11/06/2008 12:24:23 PM

    Funny how the Democrats want us to be united now, but for 8 years they opposed everything that Bush and the Republicans did. You have it all, the House, the Senate, the President. Dazzle us. Show us what we have been doing wrong. And remember that when you point the finger this time, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you. Run with it.

    • Posted By: janewhite @ 11/06/2008 12:31:37 PM

      what have you guys done wrong? well maybe you need to open up your eye and look around at the economy, the massive amount of forecloser, the massive amount of unemployment. this is a no brainer. ever since you guys have been in office everything went flat on their faces, even the twin towers. please you need a wkae up call....

      • Posted By: desertpups @ 11/06/2008 1:06:42 PM

        The twin towers are the republican's fault - what are you high - If it were up to the Dems we would spend no money on national security. I remember the days and months after the attacks when this country was united and wanted to kick some terrorist a__ everyone thought it was a good idea ----- not just Republican's. You also want to blame the Republican's for the massive amounts of foreclosures - well let's see what president was it that pushed for less regulation within Freddy and Fanny - I believe that was Clinton - Was it not Clinton that wanted every American family to have a home - (looks like maybe we should have told some of them that they were going to have to make the payments too) When the Republican's brought up the fact that Fanny and Freddy needed more guidance and there were problems brewing it was the Democrats that said that everything was fine and nothing should be changed. Fanny and Freddie said "we will buy these loans that are stated income and 95% of home value" - But you want to blame Bush for that too........ During Bush's term we had the lowest unemployment rates ever experienced in this country's history - but we don'r sem to remember that. We also had some of the most profitable times ever - both in real estate and other business. The housing problem which has caused problems in all of the credit markets and every major market accross the world is were our downfall started and I blame the Democrates for not listening to people who warned that this could happen. Even Clinton says that things were not handled appropriately.

        I hope that Obama can do everything that people think that he can - - for everyone's sake

        but it is completely rediculous when you blame Bush for everything that has happened - Fickle America -- Bush has had one of the highest approval rates that a president ever experienced and no one of the lowest - simply because we need to blame one person for everyone's greed!!!!

    • Posted By: tired of the bull @ 11/06/2008 12:42:03 PM

      why you crying now never heard you cry when republicans had the house, senate and the prez from 2001 to 2006... they did a poor job and ruin the country... in 2006 the democrats came in and couldn't get nothing because they didn't have enough of a majority to stop Bush veto pen.

    Well, we elcted him and we need to support him. We just need to keep a close eye on the Democratic Congress to keep them from going crazy with our money. We need to put Americans back to work not on welfare...We need to stand our country back up in the world's eyes but not cowtail to them. We need to be strong but fair, forceful but correct...

    Wow....the menatality of some of you people are CRAZY......so what if he is not 100% African American. I'm actually happy that some of you noticed that. However, No one can say that he is not a true AFRICAN AMERICAN. WE SHOULD NOT LOOK AT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN. WHAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT IS THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS WILLING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR AMERICA TO BECOME A BETTER PLACE and REGARDLESS of what or who he is WE (AMERICA) DECIDED AND WE GAVE HIM THAT CHANCE. With that said, who ever is not satisfied with the results of America's decision, my suggestion to you is to turn off your radios and your tv's.

    • Posted By: cecaro11 @ 11/06/2008 1:03:29 PM

      Well said drea8611, if there is one drop of african-american blood in your body, you are considered african-american, and I fell Obama thinks this way also. I feel really blessed and someone cares enough to try and get our nation back on track bacause it's goint to take a lot of work, and we all, as citizens will need to contribute to the effort, one man can't do it alone.

    Actually the only time you should be putting you hand over your heart is the Pledge of allgiance. Here's a quote from the associated press about your flag comment as well.They accused him of dissing the Stars and Stripes by refusing to wear a flag pin on his lapel ??? ignoring the fact that he did wear such pins occasionally and that other politicians often didn't wear one.

    • Posted By: rollingeyes* @ 11/06/2008 1:01:40 PM

      YOU NIT, he not only didnt wear the pin... He actually stated that he didnt believe in Our Flag and Our Pledge because it suppressed some ppl... So do you actually pay attention to what comes out of that mans mouth.????

  • Posted By: darlina28 @ 11/06/2008 11:05:17 AM

    I do not see that he is Intelligent. He doesn't even know how many states there are. We've had the same amount of states his entire life. No chance could he not know. He went to College and received a degree. I see that he is manipulative and chose to hide his true ideas. WE SHALL SEE! I feel that real values will be revealed by his appointees (who he appoints into seats) values.

    • Posted By: CSTProf @ 11/06/2008 11:08:47 AM

      All a college degree means is that you can be trained. It does NOT denote intelligence. I am a college professor I should know. You can be "Taught" many things, can you actually apply them once taught?

      • Posted By: Bona Phide @ 11/06/2008 1:01:26 PM

        Obviously just graduating from Harvard does not guarentee intellegence, because Bush pulled that one off. I WOULD say that becoming the first black president of the Harvard Law Review does demonstrate Obama's ability to apply his intellegence. Given the fact that he has organized one of the largest and smoothest campaigns in history proves he is able to put together a winning team. I don't think we have seen a leader as pragmatic, intellegent, and inspiring since JFK. No one believes he is the "messiah", as I have seen some people on here post. I think we just see someone who has a real chance to make our country, and the rest of the world, a better place to live.

      • Posted By: DAR1740 @ 11/06/2008 11:55:12 AM

        I would suggest to you professor that you have tenure and very little interest or passion for your subject. Please don't misunderstand, tenure is not a bad thing but occasionally leads to complancency. You have been trained to be cynical and negative and I think you need to look deep inside yourself to the time when you were young and idealistic and see if you are able to discover your own inspiration to improve your outlook as well as those around you.

    • Posted By: wgoin @ 11/06/2008 11:45:45 AM

      to darlina: You clearly have no intelligence. He not only graduated from Harvard Law School, he was the first black to head Harvard Law Review - no small feat. And, he is very intelligent - he campaign showed that. It has been lauded as the best planned and run campaign in history. He is a true leader. He knows how to select the right people to manage and that is a mark of a good leader.

    caljoseli: I have no beef with your religious beliefs, stance on abortion, or strong convictions on God. I do want to point something out, though: though the puritans did come to America to escape religious persecution, they did not in fact have anything to do with the drafting of the constitution (which happened roughly 275 years later). In fact, Jefferson and many of our founding fathers were Deists, believers in the theory that God exists but takes no role in shaping the destiny of the world. They wrote the constitution as a secular document to prevent the government from endorsing a particular religion or persecuting on that religion's behalf. There is, for example, no religious test for public office. I think that it's really important to understand this...you have the freedom to practice your highly conservative beliefs only because a secular government made true freedom of religion possible in this great country. Also (and no offense meant), please be careful with the phrase "Christian nation." It's a very popular buzzword among southern gentlemen in robes and pointy white hats. This is a nation for all of us; Christian and otherwise.

        Okay well, that is all good and well all I know is that they did have FAITH. And not to be argumentative but I do believe this is a christian nation and I STRONGLY resent being compared to the KKK. That is just crazy. The "men in pointed white hats" are not acting very christian-like as they are not loving their brothers and God did create ALL men equal and I hope and feel that most christians feel the same way.

  • Posted By: brobri @ 11/06/2008 10:25:01 AM

    Did I miss something? Obama was quick to point out and constantly tell us that McCain was Bush. By looking at his potential cabinet, it looks like he must be Clinton.

    • Posted By: hmoo11 @ 11/06/2008 10:30:33 AM

      Having a cabinet that looks like Clinton would be SMART. He needs to hold a small business roundtable with owners from the rep and dem parties ASAP. I don't think a lot of our repubs listened beyond TAX INCREASE and he needs to hear their concerns. He is going to be a great president.

      Unfortunately my friend you are wrong in both areas! First Obama did win the popular vote and secondly what makes you think he is the anti-Christ? Is it because McCain didnt win? It's scary to think that there are people such as yourself who know the facts but choose behave as mindless and in denial of the truth. Christ said "its important to know the truth and the truth will make us free" Sounds to me like you are anti-Christ.

    • Posted By: wwagnac @ 11/06/2008 12:41:51 PM

      First of all, Barack Obama did win the popular vote as well as the electoral vote. But, I could understand how your fanaticism would blind you from seeing the facts.
      Secondly, America is not involved in the fulfillment of prophesy in the last days. The anti-christ will come from Europe. It is clear in the bible. Quite frankly, it really annoys me that people who are uneducated about the the Bible would utter things that are totally ignorant. Please, do yourself a favor and talk about what you know. You may even disagree with Barack Obama, you have that constitutional right. But, to state that he could be the anti-Christ proves how little you know about the Bible and its teaching. Quite frankly, this is the very climax of imbecility.

    • Posted By: IamnotanAmericanbutluvdaUS @ 11/06/2008 10:57:47 AM

      No-one should be afraid of the anti-christ if he/she is ready to meet the real Christ. If Prophecy is being fulfilled, then so be it. For those who believe and are living a life please to God, all this means is that He is soon to come. So there is nothing to fear......if you truly believe that Obama is the anti-Christ, then you only have a duty to GET READY for the Lord's second coming. What a day of rejoicing that will be!!!!!

If you don't see nor hear what just went through your mind when you were writing on this comment on this board, it proves your point concerning racism, but it's from you. It is a prime example of racism. How sad, It is truely time for a change and the great thing about is you guys can't do anything about it, the peolpe of AMERICA have spoken. It's a done deal OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. He is a very intelligent African-American man. He will be representing America and I wish he and his Family well. People pray that this man will be able to fulfill his call to serve America and it's people well. OBAMA may GOD be with you.

    For the good of the country I hope he removes "Scary" Kerry from any and listed hopefuls. (Too bad he can't do the same with Biden). I wish him luck (he'll need all the good he can get) in trying to bring the country together. "Borrowing" from SS, ignoring the plight of Vets, and a "swinging door" southern border have let most of us dissatisfied with politicians in general, and Government as a whole. The promises of our forefathers have been set aside in favor of the promises of politicos made for campaign funds. I truly hope the people will be his main concern, not the big businesses. CONSIDER THIS: Yearly bonuses totaling over $20,000 should be taxed at the Luxury Tax level (I know I would consider it a luxury).

    caljoseli - im great at arguing, but im better at discussing. honestly i was born catholic. and regardless of how i feel now, we cannot debate the existence of Jesus Christ, he was a real man, unlike God he has been seen an accounted for. and wether i believe in any religion or not i can say one thing for sure: Jesus knew how to live. he wanted all to work together, he wanted all to exist equally, in crude terms - he was the man. so for years i believe what i was taught, that if i followed these things i would be granted eternal life. maybe it was my own choice, or maybe my loss of innocence, but somewhere along the line i realized i only believed in God so that i would avoid eternal damnation. now in this day i live my life by the guidelines Christ laid out. "Turn the other cheek" "Treat your neighbor as you would wish to be treated" "Those first on earth will be last in heaven" however now when i do it, i do it for mankind, not for the promise of eternal life. For i realized that if God does exist, i am simply using him as a way to live forever, and he would know this. so i abanoned him, but he still lives inside me, i still aim to live my life in a way that would please him. however i sadly just do not see him in this world today. dont take me wrong, i love Catholic tradition. i am well read on mostly the old testament of the bible, and i especially enjoy genisis and revalations. the beginning and the end. but i am open to all religion and all people, im just a little lost along the road. i have always said i would gladly burn in hell just to know that god is real and that this existence means somethings. but for now i have lost faith, but NOT what faith has taught me, that i will never lose.

      Well, I don't really know what to say... That is really sad. I hope someday that you can find that God doesn't want you to only fear him but to know him and to have a relationship with him. You have lost your way and I hope that someday you are able to find it and him. I went to a catholic school but found a REAL relationship with God in a non-denominational church. If you seek him he promises that he will show himself to you. For yet WHILE WE WERE SINNERS God sent his son to die for us. That is love. Not by the works that we do or the way that we live. He loves us always and will meet us wherever we are at if we only seek him and let him in. I hope you realize that like you said it is you that abandoned him and if you ever do decide to seek him again you will be like the protigal son to him and he will gladly meet you with open arms and love. Good luck and God bless to you.
