    Race isn't the issue here after all im white and wouldn't think twice about voting in a black president just as many other Americans would do the same... The Real issue at stake is that we voted in a murderer and a thief in simple terms...Obama is for abortion umm last time i checked killing was illegal in general wether this baby is 3 weeks in the womb or 30 yrs old murder is murder and by electing obama we have already comitted a horrendous crime by allowing the pre meditated slughter of many babies who deserve to live. secondly obama has this wild idea of increasing goverment spending hmmmm i wonder how much debt we'll be in after that... Whats even worse is that he is taking money ffrom people who hard to pay the bills and giving to the lazy people who do nothing...in conclusion this isnt an issue of race but what is right morally, socially, and economically. God Bless this country for the next 4 years while a we stand strong in our faith in an awesome God that will carry us through Obama's destruction of America

      I think you will be disappointed if all goes well in the next 4 years. Please go back and review the two main instructions that Jesus himself told us were the most important: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and mind and spirit and love your neighbor as yourself. Concentrate on that. And concentrate on what is pure and noble in what you see around you. In other words, focus on God, turn away from what is negative, love your fellow man [God said nothing about what color your neighbor was], and give thanks to God for everything. That should keep you too busy to have time for grumbling.

    I'm trying to understand the comments about Michelle's physical attractiveness, or lack of...whichever.

    Why is this a talking point? Mrs. Reagan was no beauty. Both Bush wives were not considered trophies, by any standard of the imagination. Hillary, well......definitely not going to win any beauty contests, not even 8 years ago.

    If you look at the list over the past generation, Michelle is actually looking pretty good.

    BUT, again, why are the 1st Lady's looks suddenly a standard? Hmmmmm......

      Deep down the haters wish they were as beautiful, intelligent and decent as THE OBAMA FAMILY - AMERICA'S FIRST FAMILY.

    I just can't get over all the racist b.s. being written on here. You Reps were in control for 8 yrs. To try to raise our voices democratically we were lablelled as being unpatriotic during your reign. The people have spoken through the vote. Instead of being so negative, why don't you help our new President? Get politically active at the local level/state level if you are so dissatisfied? You don't see such ugliness and violent talk from the Democrats. We demonstrate usually peacefully. We don't call for the death of a person. We are supposed to be Americans, welcoming to all. Instead you all are preaching fear, hate, etc. Give the Obamas a chance. He must love our country to put up with all that's gone on in the campaign. We are living in modern times....catch up and join present day. Keep an open mind.

    Wow - I did rip on Michelle as a person from what I can see. The truly sad thing is Obama is supposed to be the link that breaks racism and prejudice, but it is doing nothing but flaring. The irony to the story is that he is half black AND half white! And these blogs are talking about black OR white. Instead of a time for togetherness, it is reliving segregation. So if his supporters support the idea of change, then why are they still promoting the same old practices of black against white, or white against black? I guess his ad commercial shouldn't have stated about McCain keeping our country the same, it should have said him.

  • Posted By: jstthetruth666 @ 11/06/2008 5:14:02 PM

    Michelle's on the move but is she really First Lady material? How come these facts never made to Newsweek but are available on the internet for all to see?
    Princeton just released a thesis that Michelle Obama wrote in 1985 under her maiden name Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. In her world she elevates blacks over whites.

    She writes ???There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost???. In fact, only 22% of her black alumni responded to her questionnaire and did not share her obsession with blackness and considered it racist.


    Since only 22% of her black alumni responded to her questionnaire and did not share her obsession with blackness, the conclusion of her thesis is alarming. She concluded:
    ???'I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of
    identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility???

    Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern. Now maybe she's changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to grind with America.

    • Posted By: Kboogie @ 11/06/2008 5:22:00 PM

      Interesting argument.

      BUT, when you weigh that against the fact that McCain voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1990, voted AGAINST the Equal Pay Act for Women, was the only head of state that voted AGAINST the MLK holiday, AND called the Confederate flag "a symbol of heritage" just to appease the voters in S. Carolina. - I feel much safer w/ Michelle's particular experiance w/ race when she was IN SCHOOL.

      Based on McCain's voting record, it's safe to say that his view for ALL Americans was not EQUAL.

      BUT hey, if you share that view, I can understand your argument.

  • Posted By: in texas @ 11/06/2008 5:21:59 PM

    I did not vote for Obama because of his values and ideals. Not because of his color. I could care less if he was black, blue or purple. I am afraid he is not what he portrays himself to be. Young, enthusiastic, yes.
    Knowledgeable about how to be the President, No.

  • Posted By: acp2483 @ 11/06/2008 4:51:54 PM

    Has anyone been intelligent enough to read Michelle Obama's thesis in her MBA in Harvard? If you are intelligent enough to understand it, then please tell me why she is our first lady????

    • Posted By: carlyd @ 11/06/2008 4:55:25 PM

      She is first lady because our younger people in this country voted for change without reading and understanding what Obama's version would be. She is just as radical as he is and will not be any help to this country unless you call encouraging another generation of welfare recipients living off of the government help.

        to all of the IGNORANT people on here who keep refering to all of the negros on welfare,why don't you do your research and see how many white people are on welfare? I wrk. at DEFAX and believe me there are more whites than blacks that collect WELFARE,FOOD STAMPS,MEDICAID.

    OBAMAYOMAMA AND "ENOUGH ALREADY"

    Okay everyone all jokes aside this time. Let me clarify some things to the 5th graders of our class.

    I'm not saying you have to leave if you don't agree with the man I am saying at least try and offer other alternatives and solutions to the ideas you don't like. That's what your Senator is for "GO VOICE YOUR OPINIONS" but there are some bloggers who have mentioned that they just cannot live with the fact that he is president and basically life would be better if they just slit their wrists and throats. So for those who have no words of encouragement, no words of kindness, no type of help, and just can't bear to be on this continent for one moment I say.... and i quote

    "GIVEthe man a chance!!! He can't do anyworse than Baby Bush and if so then that's a helluva feat!. C'mon folks, get on the ban wagon. If not, find a way to help it move up the hill rather than being like dead weight plopping off the back of it but still holding on. LIKE I SAID .....

    EXCERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO FIND A BETTER LED COUNTRY!!!

    I agree with (oi8afly@), we as Americans should be proud that not only did we vote an African-American man into office, but a man who is working for ALL AMERICANS. We should be proud that he & his family is willing to sacrifice themselves to see that we unite as a nation. I just pray for President Obama & his family's safety. He gave me & many others hope that YES WE CAN do it. And as for the person who stated earlier that the new First Lady was UGLY, the only thing that is UGLY, is that statement. She has to be a strong women to be have an even stronger husband.

  • Posted By: in texas @ 11/06/2008 5:18:20 PM

    While I did not cast my vote for Obama he is the new president elect. We need to unite now and stop bickering. Come what may, good or bad, we will have to deal with it. (still a republican, still Proud of America)
    I can't say I am happy with the choice America made but life doesn't always work the way we like.

  • Posted By: Scorpio137 @ 11/06/2008 5:18:07 PM

    I think we have a wonderful, beautiful, and special 1st family entering the whitehouse and a truly gifted 44th President in Obama. I don't know if even he knows how gifted he is. Obama not only has reignited the american dream back into the souls of this nation but has reminded all americans, and the whole world, what the USA was built upon - the belief that nothing is impossible if we only believe YES WE CAN. That has been what I have been taught and teach those aound me my whole life! The American Dream has never been one of a material possesion of items, but the freedom to live one's dreams if they truly believe in them. Too many people in this world arent allowed dreams. They are born into some one else's paradigm of what the world should be and are never given the liberty to dream or the concept that yes they can. Americans have that right, that freedom to dream. Americans have that right to believe YES THEY CAN. When you combine a dream with a belief that YES YOU CAN, anything is possible ... there are no limits to what one can do!!!
    As far as vjmhmom's posting and all those who continue the negativity, they must remember that in the United States of America, the majority rules. The majority of Americans have said Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the USA with a landslide election. No president has made it into the whitehouse with 100% of the vote, but once voted in, has been accepted as our President, PERIOD! Anyone who claims to be an American and can't accept the decision of the majority now needs to examine their own insecurities and issues and deal with them ASAP.

    Say what you will... for a start she is no lady, never has been and never will be, let alone the 'first lady'.
    obumma will never be my president. NEVER! And it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It is the content (or lack thereof) of his character. The man is nothing but a GD communist, as you idiotic sheeple will soon find out. Or to put it another way where you morons can understand:

    WAIT 'TILL YOU SEE WHAT YOU REALLY VOTED FOR.

    Then you can look in the mirror and see who's really to blame.
    Especially when oturdboy raises taxes on anyone making $50,000 or more instead of $250,000.
    The republican party is finished in this country.
    In the next 4 years the democraps will be finished as well.
    I say good riddence to both.
    The time of the third party has come.
    And it is long overdue.

        The ba$tard still hasn't coughed up an original birth certificate to prove he was born in Hawai'i.
        If that's your idea of democracy Stalin would be proud of you.
        By the way we don't live in a democracy to begin with.
        We live in a representative republic. Well, at least we used to. Now they aren't even representing us, only themselves and lining heir own pockets with my tax dollars.

Nothing can take that joy away. Every time I read negative racist post or I listen to a negative racist conservative talk show I smile, I laugh!! Because these people are scared. Your worst fear, your grandparents and great-grand parents and great-greats worst fear has come to pass. Say what you want, call him what you want. That doesn't take away who he is.

      You know--I doubt if anyone is FOR abortion. Most people with a knowledge of the law, though, prefer to have the issue legislated at the state level. There are also patient privacy issues and logistical issues that would make abortion cases very unwieldy to prosecute. In the end, a woman who is desperate enough to want to end a pregnancy can find ways to make it happen without any medical assistance.

    • Posted By: utb3235 @ 11/06/2008 4:28:07 PM

      Being for a womans right to choose does not make you for abortion the last time I check. I believe there were more abortions during the Bush Administration than the Clinton. And you really think our country is in good shape? How can we have a bigger deficit than we do now under this administration? I think this new President will surprise a lot of people as he has already. I think you need to be praying for him and this country not criticizing.

      Actually, until it is born a fetus is nothing but a parasite technically. It siphons off food and oxygen from its host for its own selfish growth and flushes its waste into the blood of its host all while potentionally putting the health of its host at great risk. It's so much fun watching the thinking of the religious whack jobs. Doesn't your precious bible say "judge not lest ye be judged"?. And last I checked, in the eyes of God (assuming She exists) there is no difference between sins. A sin is a sin, whether telling a lie or killing someone, so unless your name is "Jesus 2" I wouldn't point that many fingers. :-)

      • Posted By: canwegetalong @ 11/06/2008 3:29:02 PM

        I gues George Bush and every other president is guilty of being a murder and thief. I do believe capital punishment takes a life. And the commandent in the bible states thou shall not kill. I doesn't say whether or not you were convicted of a crime. As far as thieves lets just taking money from the poor and giving breaks to the rich is stealing in my book. I am so tired of people hiding behind a issue and only seeing one point of view. Look all politicians by virtue of your sentiment is guilty of those things.

        Wow! Thanks for the biology lesson. My bible also says we are responsible for our actions whether we take responsibility for our choices or not. I agree, real women don't risk their health with pregnancy. The alternative isn't pro-choice or pro-life, it's pro-responsibility. All women are entitled to a choice, and they make it when they open those legs - so live up to that choice. . . . but what does your point have to do with Mr. Omama's wife??

      Are you professing to be a Christian? If you were you would know that Obama is right where he is suppose to be as President of the USA. If it was not God's will, he would not be there. You should be praying for him and his family instead of judging him on things you really do not know. You should know that prayer changes things and prayer changes situations. As a matter of fact, so many people in this country PRAYED for Obama to be in the White House until it actually happened (lol) I think Obam will do just fine and will eventually cause positive change in America. We all have to be mindful that Bush has things so messed up, that he first has to clean-up before he can fix-up!
