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

My grandchildren are biracial too and I already thought they have every opportunity. They are excelling at everything they try and not just sitting around being patted on the head and told they aren't going to be anyone because they are bi-racial. Stupidity is victimizing those who are NOT victims unless they make themselves victims or society makes them feel like victims so they will vote for Obama.

Mccain should also! Mccain has been so much a hyprocrate I lost respect for him. Mccain has changed him plans many times doing the campaign. He has mentioned ties to terrorist when not only have McCain has had ties with a guy who tried to assinate someone and a preacher who says Hitler was doing GODs work. Mccain mentioned the guy is reformed and the preacher apologized is what makes him better??

McCain also got on Obama about being cocky when McCain mentioned he knows he was going to win when he did not! McCain talks about public funding when he knows he is rich before campaigning. McCain mention Rev. Wright though he sat in a crowd yelling hateful comments as well as threats. he did apologize but after the media made note of it! So what your saying is one sided!

Joe Biden isn't rich. He's the poorest person in the Senate and isn't even a millionaire.

You animals are already shooting at whites, and anybody else that happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Since when do any of you care about what's legal? Maybe a white supremeciest will take a shot at your beloved massiah! You want to talk c r a p, you best expect to get it thrown right back at you.

Has to be better than the Daffy Duck we've had for the past 8 ...

Well you can't blame Obama for that! Who started this label of color anyway??? Most of all African American have some white in them. Since the days of slavery Africans have lost the percentage of being 100% African. On every survey and app there is no bi-racial label when they ask for color of race. Why ask that??? Racial profiling is made for what reason?? Most people choose where they fit. Bob marley could been considered white because his father was white and his mom was jamacian. He is labeled balck because of skin color though. So people can not say it's blacks jumping on the bandwagon when it is not them who also label him base on his color. Mccain has also with the Rev. Wright ads. making note his Rev. has something against some whites. That made it a racial issue doing that. So many whites feel Obama is black knowing his mom was white they looked at his name and mainly talked of his father who died many years ago. Not much was talked about his people who raised him in the media, but his father side has been a story! Like one side there is no 100% african american unless he came from africa today.

Since slavery in the US it has been the custom to apply the "one drop rule". If you have one drop of blood from a black relative you are black. It is only recently that people started coming up with categories that break it down more scientifically. How many times did you think in your head "wow that Tiger Woods is one great Thai golfer" ?

In this country, if you have black heritage and look black, you are black. Are you going to tell the millions of African-Americans who have some white heritage that they aren't black? Ridiculous.

I see this is a one sided story! The KKK also felt they was doing GODs work. These groups went to church and read the bible and still killed innocent people. You mentioned band wagon??? McCain jumped on the case were that one girl lied and said a 6'4" black man beat her up and craved a backwards B in her face. After hearing it was false McCain did the jessie and sharp thing also! Think how many people died in the past for a lie like that??? This is why I feel

Obama will be a better president than McCain. After seening some of Mccain rallies I lost respect for him. He sat in them hearing people make hateful comments and only commented about it after the media brought it up. Some would look at what Rev. Wright said was baout the same when Obama didn't sit in the service when he said that comment! McCain also stood right next to a man while he said Hitler was doing GODs work!

What I can say is that I am proud to see American is changing. United Obama won! Not because of all black votes or white votes but everyone who is inspired by this man voted for him. Every race and religion voted! So change is coming!

I wouldnt worry all that much about Jessie Jackson or Rev Sharpton... Obama and Jackson had an ugly falling out when Jackson called Obama out on that interview when his mic was still on and he made nasty comments. Obama has not forgotten. As for Sharpton, I wouldnt worry about him much.. certainly not about Rev. Wright...

Fear is often justified. Just as one would justifiably fear a group of young black men walking toward them with a menacing look on their faces (of course this isn't racist--more black young men are in prison than college--criminality much too high percentage wise). One can justifiably fear Barack Obama and his Islamist and Communist ideas(check out his actions in Kenya). In polls taken yesterday and reported on TV, fully 25% of Americans polled are "scared" translate frightened, of an Obama Presidency. Fully 20% more are seriously concerned. That is 45% of the population and 48% voted against him. The electoral college skewed the view that this was a landslide but the popular vote shows only a few percentage points separate the two men and with 10% of the country African American and 92% of them voting for Obama, the Black vote (racist) alone could be the only difference between the two.

Obama will have his hands full. the 45% that are from concerned to frightened of him in office will be watching carefully and wil NOT be easily governed if he tries to redistribute the wealth to his black constituents like he indicated he wants to do in his 2001 radio conversation. (see You Tube).

I have worked hard for my money and believe it is no more than common theivery to try to take one cent of it to give to some black person in North Carolina sitting around all day watching TV smoking his bong and with his hand out already for his g'vment check! That is stealing just as much as if that same man broke into my house and stole my money himself.

Taxes are justifiable when they are for our public good! I am actually happy to pay for improved roads, new bridges (where justified), schools and parks and other items of public good. I pay 10% of my income to my church to take care of the poor and destitute (which they do without overhead--zero). Show me a government program that works as well as my church at handling needs of the truly needy and I'd support it. As it is g'vment welfare keeps people down, creates a permanent lower class, keeps all of us from enjoying what the brain power of those amazing black children I see in the streets of NY and Chicago and here in Seattle from contributing one day to the common good in space, medicine or just as good employees of the major corporations, working hard, enjoying the benefits ot their labors and lifting their familiy and community.

I see a lot of black families here in Seattle that have entered well into what Rev. Wright despises as "middle classness." Good for them! They are taking opportunities and making themselves and their families ever more an indelible part of the fabric of an America that is color blind.

Stephanopolis--
Because the Bush Tax Cuts benefitted the middle class most of all. I know the rhetoric, but look up the facts. Actually the Bush taxes were harder on the top classes than Clinton. The tax structure was slightly better for the middle class than Clinton and the poorest had about the same deal. 60% of Americans pay only 1% of the taxes and that is absurd. We already have the highest businesses taxes in the world. Mitt Romney was right! In order to have wage earners you have to have wage payers and businesses will not be hiring wage earners if their companies aren't profitable. I know you libs hate it, but businesses are in business to make a profit--for themselves, their shareholders (you if you have a 401K) and those of us who actually care about our employees want to make a big profit so we can pay our employees higher wages and give them bonuses for work well done. I love it when I can call an exemplary employee(s) into the office and tell them we have had a good year and we want to share the wealth! Love it love it! If there is no profit there is nothing to share. Eventually there is no business. We close the doors and all or our highly skilled folks earning six figures are unemployed. Then that snowballs because our folks (hope it doesn't come to this, but the times are bad enough and Obama's election has already caused a vote of not confidence--a big drop in the stock market) so his election may force us and many, many small businesses like mine to shut down.

Obama talks about putting extra taxes on those who go off shore. If we go off shore that means all of us will go (hopefully some of my best employees too). Taxing those who are marginally surviving and still employing American workers as the can will find the off-shore tax the last straw and simply stop being US companies. Bad news for Americans. Bad news!

In case you haven't noticed Bush is working on an agreement right now with the Iraqi's that will have our troupes completely out of Iraq by 2011. So when Obama says that he want a timetable it is "cut and run" but when Bush says it it is victory????????

Faminchin...this is his first day and he's not even President yet, so how can you say what happened to his promises? This isn't the brightest question I've seen lately.

Clinton was likely promised that he can save his legacy, after he race baited Obama during the primaries.

Just because the Bushies specialized in quid pro quo doesn't mean everybody does. Just because Bushies excelled in conspiracy doesn't mean Dems do. Just because Bushies see boogiemen around every corner doesn't make it true. YOU LOST, got what you deserved that were the ultimate and logical result of the seeds you have sown. You have no one to blame but your own party/people. Get over it; move on and at least limit your whining until you've got something to whine about.

Buffet is committed to give away 85% of his wealth to charity at the rate 1.5 billion per year while he is alive. He is worth over 55 billion at this point. I would not consider him greedy. Are you giving away 85% of your wealth to charity??? He is also known for buying and building up under performing companies. While the original moves by him might include layoffs the final result is profit and job growth from a company about to fail..

Warren Buffett greedy? Try looking up all of his charitable contributions. Ask Bill and Melinda Gates about his greed. I know someone who works for one of his companies too. From everything I hear he appreciates ALL of his employees, takes really good care of them financially (wages AND benefits plus little extras) and is an extraordinary boss. Perhaps it was just you.
