Hey, Mr. President-Elect, Got a Minute ... or 10?

What is it that makes Barack Obama an African American. He is 50% black and 50% white. The only reason that he is considered african american is purely on the color of his skin. Which to me is meaningless. We teach our kids to not look at people by their gender or skin color, but the whole time during this election we are talking about Baracks skin color and Palins gender. I thought we were past this. This election should not be historic for someones skin color. This should be a celebration for one persons ideas to better a nation. To vote for someone based on skin color is exactly is the distrimination we all have been trying to get away from the last 30 to 40 yrs. Lets be more civilized and educated America. The media needs to quit pushing the race and gender glass ceiling reports.

All these blacks are crying and shouting and dancing in the streets because Barry Hussein was elected as teh first black president. Not one of these blacks, not even Oprah, spoke about his qualifications or experience or radical views, because this does not matter to them, only skin color matters to these racists. If white people celecrated this way they would be called racists. Barry Hussien is a left wing extremist who befriends unreptant terrorists and liberal left wing radicals. God Bless America, and not allah as Barry woudl want.

The Confederate states and right-wing fanatics are no doubt upset at the 2008 Presidential Election result where the majority of the citizens of this fine country elected a Democratic African-American. This is the true American Dream that our veterans fought for us to have, especially the vets who gave their lives fighting for FREEDOM for ALL of us. Now with peace and hope and honesty, our new administration has alot of repair work to do. Here's wishing the confederates and fanatics embrace this wonderful time, look beyond all boundaries, and join the American team.

Good GOD Barrack hussein obama, how unamerican does that sound, for the first time in my life i dont want to be an american, never has giving up my citizenship sounded more of a good idea, not because he is black, a black man or woman has as much right to be president than a white man or women, but in my opinion both candidates were bad choices on both parties, and the only reason obama binladen was elected is because he is black, the whites voted for him because of what he promises and the fact that mccain unfortunately was the best the republican party could come up with, very sad; the blacks voted for him simply because he`s black, how far back does this mans roots go anyway, he has no experience, except for how to run for office, he doesnt support our troops, and again his name, is he honestly even american, sounds more like the president of some middle eastern country

Penny Pritzker and her family business help design the subprime mortgage predatory lending policy that let to this financial meltdown. She made billions off the poor in mortgage business. Rahm Emanuel was a staunch supporter of NAFTA and is more pro Israeli than George Bush. He is a neo conservative democrat. who help push through some of the deregulation of the banks that started the mess were in. Robert Rubin helped to engineer the deflation of the price of gold and is part of the financial elite. Lets face it the corporate supremicists have complete control of Obama . If the people who elected him want real change wewill have to demand it and not sit back and let corporate controlled Democrats do the bidding of there Corporate masters.

Well, I've had enuf fun with this endless supply of bitter, small minded, right wing idiots .. just guess where I'm going americana ...

Regarding the article's question WHO WILL HAVE HIS EAR? (hope nobody has ears like his! lol)
The people who have arranged for him to get where he is right now. The people who he got the bulk of his 600 million dollars in undisclosed foreign campaign funds! That is who got his ear! PAYBACK TIME!

A gracious concession speech by McCain, the true McCain - too bad the true McCain has been missing for the past several months. Alas, it was not his time, his time was in 2000. McCain sold his soul when he aligned himself with the very people who caused him to lose the GOP nominee in 2000 by using dirty underhanded tactics. McCain's problem-BUSH!

Bush worst and dumbest EVER! He was never president over ALL the people of this fine country. If you want to be president of a country, you HAVE to be leader of ALL the people, not just the rich ones, not just the ones that look like you, and not just the ones of your political party. Personal goals were more important to Bush rather than being honest and good and moral. At any cost and using any corrupt means would that thick-skulled idiot use to reach HIS and Cheney's goals.

bush will go down as a fine president? that is so sad to even type those words. And we need to as a nation take "god" out of politics so that all can be treated justly. I am fine with my God, he loves me, protects me, mde me what I am. But being a gay man, I dont expect to call him to give me the same rights that "normal couples have" I dont, and would respect this country more if they didnt use GOD to make their convoluted descisions, vote leagally right and wrong for all people

FINALLY, a positive future, something to look forward to. Thank Goodness - what a glorious, happy, encouraging, and hopeful time! I only hope the Lord watches over and protects Obama for his safety. The fact that most of the world agrees with the PEOPLE'S choice of this election should tell us something - the MAJORITY of us know what that is.

Unlike the 2004 election where the electoral vote put Bush in office, the results of this election is the PEOPLE'S choice. Leadership we can trust and be proud of, something we have not been able to do for 8 long years. Now we can walk with our heads held high. Positive attitudes and a true breath of fresh air. A good legacy to leave our children and grandchildren and generations to come. A legacy of promise, hope, and good-will is the story left behind from this election, not like the nightmare from the corrupt and idiotic Cheney/Bush Administration.

I may live in the "old west" but I can't believe the peoples comments of race. My family came from poor irish immagrents. I honor them for their hard work and I thank them for a life that has been far easier than theirs. Change is a good thing and we must learn and embrace our past while looking to the future and change. Only time will tell but give the man a chance.

yup Obama binladen sucks, we have a terrorist for a president.

he got in there b cause bhe is black and all that black money opra has and all the poore black poole u will see b for 4 is up va guy dem.
