    Can't stay here any longer; am getting sick from all of the bitterness, hate, and racism on this blog!!
    It makes me ashamed to be a Christian and that's sad!!!

    First off I'd like to say it's a wonderful thing for America to have our first African American President. However I'm very ashamed at the American People that they chose a man who isn't a Christian, who doesn't stand for God which let me remind you is what this country was found on. Without GOD we wouldn't be here nor have the things we have. Our country is in great danger having Obama as our President of the United States! Those of you that are Christians and voted for him...Shame on you! Anyone can promise anything but if they don't have morals then their not looking out for your best interest. Let me say to you Christians/believer's in or Lord Jesus Christ you better get on your knees and pray, pray that God will interveen Obama and steer him in God's direction so he can lead us in the right direction! If you don't have morals and God what do you have? Nothing! Christians you better keep your faith in God or else you will suffer and you will be held accountable as to why you voted for Obama. This has nothing to do with religion but for what you believe! I'm very ashamed to read the ignorance in your comments...let's not scream at one another and GET BACK TO GOD!

      Read and absorb, if you can, what it means to really be a Christian!!!

    I have just been reading through these postings and am surprised at the hatred that comes through. Is this really representative of the intelligence of the American people? If so, it's pretty frightening, and anything but Christian. We can only wait and see if Mr. Obama can take this hurting nation and help us heal so many problems that have been created in the present administration. God help us, we all hope we can be set on a more positive path to becoming the Great nation we once were.

      Kudos to you Ms. Ware for stating my thoughts. When I look at all the hateful comments here, I can only pray to God. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!!! If we all, at least, tried to do this, our country and the world would be alot better off. Divisiveness helps nothing!!!

    Like I said there is no reason to speculate why oboma won it is because normally only 25% of minorities vote and since there was a minority running about 90% got off their welfare ass and voted. That is the one and only reason he won. They didnt even care what he stood for or know if he believed in the god that has kept our nation safe.

    • Posted By: alaboutfacts @ 11/06/2008 8:21:29 PM

      Well if 90% of minority is on wefare. How many whites is on welfare? More then minority, and that's a FACT. So why didn't they get off there white fat ass an VOTED?????????

      • Posted By: buttermilkwaffle @ 11/07/2008 6:41:16 AM

        Seriously? Your argument is that Obama won because black people voted for him? He got 52% of the popular vote. Sounds like someone's bitter that *they're* in the minority - as in, angry racist McCain supporters. (I am in no way implying that all McCain supporters are racist - only Motorider and those who think like him/her)

    No weapon that is formed against thee (Barack Obama) shall prosper;
    and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee (Barack Obama) in judgment thou shalt condemn.
    This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their (his) righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
    Isa 54: 17

      I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
      Rev 22:18

      Haha, you're gonna be plagued now. =-P

    • Posted By: motorider @ 11/06/2008 7:36:17 PM

      You should not have mixed good with bad. Putting a mans name that does not believe in the Holy Bible in a Scripture will surely cause you some grief.

    I have no doubt whatsoever that John McCain LOVES this country, no doubt at all. But he would not have been a symbol. He would have been just another president. At this time, this country, this planet needs a symbol. A positive symbol. The election results lend proof to that need. Obama was elected because of who he is, not what he is. Not because he is a Democrat (too many Independents and Republicans alike voted for him for that to carry him). He was not elected because he is non-white (too many non-blacks voted for him for that to be the case either). He was elected because he is a leader. A leader in the way MLK and JFK were. They inspired. As an American you have two choices: You either BELIEVE things will and can get better or you do not believe. Belief is how it all begins. Belief affects the choice of whether or not to try harder in school even when dropping out would be easier. Belief affects the choice to keep looking for that job you so desperately need even though you have been looking for over a year. It is the belief that what you do MATTERS that makes you choose to be kinder to your countrymen and countrywomen even when they anger or disappoint you. That is how a nation starts to heal all of its hurts. One person at a time. President Obama will have the help of Congress and the support of experts like Warren Buffet and Colin Powell to help tackle the fine details of foreign and economic policy. Most of the time he will be behind closed doors in meetings with the brightest minds of our time crunching the numbers and push the limits of what is possible. But only Barack Obama, and Obama alone, will be the FACE of our leadership. He is just the president and as such he will not have magical powers. He will be subject to the same limitations as the presidents before him. But unlike George Bush, he WILL be a president that acts as a constant reminder that change starts with a BELIEF in change (not just the hope for it) and that change MUST start with a positive belief in ourselves. For all those who would criticize, I ask you, as an American, to remember this.

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 11/06/2008 3:07:03 PM

      Ditto! The rest of world thinks so too! Check out photos of reactions all over the world on Yahoo news. They will bring tears to your eyes.

      • Posted By: motorider @ 11/06/2008 6:07:05 PM

        Of course the rest of the world is happy. You obviously don't get out of the country much. EVERYONE HATES US AND THEY WISH FOR OUR FALL. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES AND I PROMISE NO-ONE LIKES US. They want someone to weaken our security so we can be taken over.

        • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 11/06/2008 6:41:31 PM

          Hey, I get out of the country plenty. Besides living in the US since 1981, I have lived in Italy, Canada and Switzerland. Unless you know.....you really need to be quiet.

          • Posted By: motorider @ 11/06/2008 7:45:18 PM

            You are now not being honest If you really lived in Italy you would know I am right. I will give you Canada of course they like us.

            • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 11/06/2008 9:42:04 PM

              AND, Italians love Obama and Americans in general. I ought to know, I have a few hundred relatives there. Italians, Canadians, the Swiss and even the French, just don't like our government. Capisce?

            • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 11/06/2008 7:58:45 PM

              I was born in Italy and lived there on and off during my teen years.

  • Posted By: Procstar @ 11/06/2008 10:25:14 AM

    It's impossible to compare Obama to anything previous. We have proven to the rest of the world that we actually do live in a REAL democracy where the people's vote has been measured. Conservative God fearing Republicans have a sense of entitlement. That's where the anger comes from. It's all white noise and jealousy. These are new days and fresh times. In a hundred years I bet you'll see Barack's face on the five dollar bill...

    • Posted By: motorider @ 11/06/2008 6:30:19 PM

      Actually his face will never be on any american money because in a few years there wont be american money thanks to people like you that did not put God first in their daily lives. The rest of the world hate us and have been waiting on a non god fearing and non american loving person to gain power. Thanks to people not keeping our power in perspective we are now in trouble unless the conservative people you just bashed can do something to save us.

      • Posted By: alaboutfacts @ 11/06/2008 8:56:37 PM

        If the rest of the world hate you, thank your other (white) REPUBLICANS PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: Cottoneyejoe @ 11/06/2008 10:51:08 AM

      In a hundred years their will not be five dallor bills!!!! Lets get to the issues present!!!! YOU THINK!!!!

  • Posted By: Cottoneyejoe @ 11/06/2008 8:52:56 PM

    Read the Patriot Act and it might make sense its only 18,000 pages of ways to overide the constitution!!!! Do you think you are free??? You must be a sheltered soul for life in NYC!!!

  • Posted By: NYC4life @ 11/06/2008 8:48:07 PM

    what you just said MADE NO SENSE what so ever

  • Posted By: NYC4life @ 11/06/2008 8:42:23 PM

    YES thank YOU.
    someone HAS A BRAIN

  • Posted By: Cottoneyejoe @ 11/06/2008 8:41:22 PM

    The patriot Act makes our constitution VOID !!!!! It should be burned!!! Their are other avenues to protect our country than taking rights away from the people who are paying the bills!!!! Forget race and religon, lets get with reality!!!!

  • Posted By: NYC4life @ 11/06/2008 8:32:00 PM

    Liberalism is awesome.......and I believe Obama is Patriotic.
    Only because he doesn't want to fight in WAR and BLEED to save a countries well being doesn't mean he isn't. He loves this country just like any other PATRIOTIC rep in U.S. of A.
    We provide an expansion to a person's horrizons. Accepting others who are considered different and help them acknowledge that he/she are citizens with FULL RIGHTS just like anyone else.

  • Posted By: Cottoneyejoe @ 11/06/2008 8:26:10 PM

    He will never be a good president until he frees us from the patriot act !!!!! Free America Now !!!!

  • Posted By: olafhenny @ 11/06/2008 8:01:32 PM

    I thoroughly disagree with bringing religiosity into politics as an asset. That kind of disastrous nonsense got Bush junior elected as President

    You're going to be drinking copius amounts of gasoline? Great, I'll bring the matches.

      Solid. Because I will be chain smoking the entire time and I'll I have is a crappy lighter that was made in China.
