Michelle, On The Move

the only thing that gets me is that all black people want to say he is african american the forget his mother and grandmother who raised him was white where does the black people get the african american i would not vote for him i think the real americans will see what he really is later on (he has ties)

You want change now and ask all to support the 'change', but you couldn't support the America we have which would have been helpful. And, now you think all should jump on board because someone new is going to be our President. Change doesn't happen quickly and certainly one man cannot make everything better. People do that. Obama defenders obviously couldn't see past the color, as his qualifications are few, and anyone can make promises. He has fluctuated back and forth on many issues in his oh so few years as an active government leader. Find the facts, and that doesn't mean through the mainstream media because they only provide one side.

This doesn't change a thing between blacks and whites unless blacks pick up the pace and take some respocibility.

By the way.... This country was "handed" to President Clinton during his first term while in a major deficit. By the time he ended his term we had the biggest surplus in decades. Thank you Democrats. My husband and I have faith in Obama. Who can do any worse than Bush Sr or Bush Jr?
My husband and I walked outside our front door yesterday, took a long look around and a deep breath! This is a new changed America. A place that we can FINALLY say that we are "PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" again. His speach brought tears to our eyes! When our country can elect a man not for the color of his skin but by the strength of his voice then we are on the right track. When I was woke up the next morning to watch the news, what did I see? I saw black and white coming together to celebrate in large crowds. This is the beginning of a long awaited unified nation. Our children need to believe that no matter what race you are, your dreams can come true. This is a historical moment, and it happend during my husband and my lifetime(31 years old). We are so proud to have witnessed it and have been a part of it. We also shared every moment of this campaign and election night with our children. The will remember the day that our 44th president was elected and made history. We also wanted to say congratulations! It has been a long fight for many years for equality. You more than deserve this moment in time! Heres to a NEW AMERICA!!!!!

5TH GRADERS WOW YOU ASSHOLISH LEFT WING LIBERALS HAVE BEEN MOCKING SARAH PALIN HAVE A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE

I *** Sarah Palin on Tuesday... by voting for Obama.

Yesterday, I spent a long time reading the posts of the McCain supporters who were commenting on Obama's win. Although there were some who really impressed me - they were willing to say that they would support the new President, even though they didn't vote for him, there were many who made so many disgusting comments that I spent most of the time thinking up (what I thought were) witty retorts that exposed their ignorance.

As the day wore on, however, I thought that what I really should have written was what I'm writing now...this new day in America (and I truly believe it is a new day), is an opportunity for EACH of us, and each of us will decide to grasp that opportunity, or let it pass us by. Even those of us who voted for, and supported President-elect Obama, will need to focus, so that this optimism, this new zest for our democracy and what it means, won't slip away. President-elect Obama has been very specific in telling us that the government can't solve our problems for us...we have to re-calibrate our perspectives on our lives; those of our family and friends; our duty to our country; our chance to show our patriotism in our actions; and all the other opportunities that this particular moment in history is offering us. Our actions will speak for us going forward from November 4. Those who are so ignorant that they can't see the opportunity will miss out on it. Even if they look back on it years from now, and see that they were wrong, they will have missed the chance to start now.

We owe it to President-elect Obama to not let these feelings we temporary. He has done so much to make us enthusiastic about our democracy, our country and our willingness to really get involved and solve the problems that we fact as a Nation. We owe him, and our country our concentration, our commitment and promise that we won't let this achievement go to waste.

People often speak of a Renaissance Man. How fortunate we are, as a Nation, to now also have a RENAISSANCE WOMAN IN MICHELLE OBAMA! There have been countless comparisons to ???Jackie O???. I mean no disrespect to Mrs. Kennedy however her focus in the White House was more on the cultural aspects of the W.H. itself and the things in it. How wonderful it is that MRS. OBAMA???s FOCUS will be on PEOPLE OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS working & LEARNING, TOGETHER, to make our Nation and our youth better through COMMUNITY action based initiatives! But what is additionally impressive is her primary focus being on her children and her FAMILY. BRAVO! I wish the Obamas well.
