What to Watch For

Janewhite...you realize the senate is currently made up of democrats at the moment...correct? Why should others support you, call your parents, not the government....you should be ashamed asking for handouts...as far as the job market...i see now hiring signs all over....I feel I should not be held liable & forced to take money out of my pocket & away from my families needs to support everyone else....You are also stereotyping on the whole Republican party. You want to talk about selfish, how about all those unborn children's lives you are murdering, because you think its YOUR body.....now that is selfish to me!

Measuring by some of anti Obama comments, it shows that education is still not at the level required for the average American to make an intelligent rhetoric. "Appearance over substance" still is the core life style of the average American citizen. I can only hope that Americans are willing to really look beyond their own borders, and not get their information about Europe from the myopic "celebrity style"/nationalistic American news media like CNN or FoxNoise. As for Obama being a socialist, looking at his political convictions he is not even close to being that. Notwithstanding, Social Democrat systems have worked well all over Western Europe. Having lived on both continents, I can attest that Europeans enjoy more actual freedom than Americans.

PS: For those who feel the need, now you can tell me: Love it or leave it, you piece of Euro-trash!! :)

Wow our country is filled with a bunch of ignorant individuals. Just when I think it's not as bad as I think. We put on a show for the entire world to see our short comings. First, Obama is half black and half white. Get over his ethnicity. By claiming to vote for him because of the color of his skin is disgusting and non of you should have the right to vote. That goes for both black and white AMERICANS. Please educate yourself on what you are voting for. Second, this just shows me how strong racism is in America. Racism is now in it's next phase. It has become ok for blacks to make racist comments without any consequence. Sooner or later white americans will get tired of it and retaliate which will just set us further back. All the work that has been done by the Dr. King's, Rosa Parks and several other quality leaders will long be forgotten. In this day and age it is time to come together and make a difference. I believe we can all live together, we just need to get to know each other. We should all be proud to say "I am an American" regardless of race. I am pleading with all of you join together as one before it is too late.

IF IF IF, If your grandmother had balls, she'd be your grandfather.

Hey SouthernBell,

RE: your comment - "I am a 28 year old Black American and I am voting for Obama not because he is "Mixed" ...
_______________________________________________

Well 'm a 39 year old White/Hisp American and I'm voting for McCain not because he is "WHITE" ... BUT BECAUSE HE'S "RIGHT"!

THE "RIGHT" MAN FOR THE J-O-B! NOTHING MORE ... NOTHING LESS!

MC CAIN / PALIN - TRUE MAVERICKS!!!

No wonder the world views us as ignorant, self centered, racist and war mongering - judging by most of the comments on here THAT'S EXACATLY WHAT WE THINK OF EACH OTHER.
I agree with ECARR.

I don't care if the President is black or white, what I care about is whether the President is PATRIOTIC and will be a good example of patriotism and pride for The United States of America. What I care about is whether the President will stand up for the values this country is based on, but what I'm afraid of is that people are just going to vote for Obama because they want a black President. I'm tired of being told whites are prejudice when for many years I have seen it the other way around. Today, whites are the ones being oppressed. Is there a United White College Fund? I wish there had of been when I was a kid because I didn't have the money to go to school and would have loved to have been able to. I see some (not all) minorities taking advantage of he freebies given to them because they are NOT white, and when I needed help, I was refused because I WAS white. That is not right. I just wish everyone would quit worrying about black, brown, white, or whatever and treat ALL PEOPLE FAIR!! And also, if you want to live in America, don't EXPECT us to learn YOUR language. Learn English! I would NOT go to another country and be offended if they did not know my native language in their country, I would learn theirs before I went over there!

Democrats are in control of the Senate Janewhite.

It is amazing to see how ignorant people still are with all of the technology that there is out there today. I am a white male that is married and support Obama. There are just as many if not more white trash that use the government as a means of living than working. I have a great uncle that stated he would not vote for Senator Obama because he is black. It is truly sad that people still feel that way. Laidylittlebit, places such as Finland and Canada have universal health and they do not have a problem. Obama will have Colin Powell in his cabinet so that should ease your fears of his lack of military experience. The powers of the world such as Germany and England prefer that Obama be elected because they see in him the change that needs to take place. Laidy, if your thinking that everyone does not deserve healthcare bc of long lines at the doctors office then you need a reality check and need to be educated. Another person that lives on lies from the McCain camp. Strike fear in those who are scared of change and do not know any better. I guess that is why we live in America so that ignorant people can express their opinions.

As far as this election gos, it seems to me that alot of people are not looking at this with there eyes wide open. First i feel the most African Americans are voting for Obama because of his race. And the same goes with the Mc Cain supporters they don't want Oama in there so they are voting for his race. Nobody that I see is looking at the overall picture.
How can anybody vote for a man that well not acknowledge the American Flag and our national anthum (OBama) so I am supposed to belive this man well take care of our country. What about McCain? He has his past with Greoge Bush and has voted in favor of most of his decissions. Look where that has gone. How can I trust that.
So what am I supposed to do about this. I am vetren, a tax payer. I belive in my country and all of our servicemen and women that are out there putting there lives on the line for our country. what this country needs is someone that looks at everybody as been equal and does his best for our country first. I feel that I am beening forced into voting for someone I don't belive in just to say that I voted. i choose not to vote for either one. Everybody can stay that I can not complain about anything if I don't vote. But as long as that I am a tax payer I still have the right to voice my opinion. I voted for Greoge Bush both times and feel that I am somewhat responsible for the way this country is now. I don't want that feeling again. So give me someone that I can believe in.

To jlwoodlpn:
If you forward that email that stated all of those things to 10 friends, you will get a million dollars from Bill Gates. Some people are just stupid.

What Obama was talking about had nothing to do with stopping coal miners.He said we need to keep working on finding a clean way to burn it.And he has also said we need to save our planet and that we need to make theses rich companies oil included work to do that.Clinton had nothing to do with how bad Bush screwed things up.Bush started this war for no other reason then to make is daddy proud of him and pad their alreaddy fat pockets with oil money.As for the abortion thing,who the hell is anyone else to say what us wemon do with our bodies.And not all lower income people are on welfare.Who do you think runs the work force.It is us that make very small amounts of money that bust our a s ses to do the crap jobs we need done.I work 2 jobs to try to take care of my kid, and still can't afford insurance.Who would make your burgers at burger king to get your butts so fat if not us.

Judging by the comments posted here, it's no wonder the most of the world views us as ignorant, racist, war mongering, and self-centered---apparently that's exactly what we think of each other. Reguardles of whom you support or who wins, we as a nation are all in this together. Take a break from all the finger pointing and blame tossing and look in the mirror. What have YOU done to better your community, your workplace, yourself? Humble yourself and realize that though we may disagree, we share a collective future and need to stop focusing on "me" and "I' and work together for the benefit of us as a nation. Maybe your guy won't win, maybe he will. Reguardless of who does, tomorrow we will all get up with same problems facing us as yesterday and we had better learn to deal with these problems together instead of wasting more time assessing blame and name calling like children in a school yard.
