    that comment is ridiculous! Hiliary Clinton was white as a ghost so she didnt waste "HER" money on tanning! Not every white person tans! This is all about race to black people and they really have no idea why they voted for who they voted for - the only reason they did was because he was BLACK!! Lets see how far we get in these four years... I will be the one years from now telling people like you "I voted for McCain" its your own fault were still in this mess!! Black people do crack... ashy as they call it... that white house is going to be ... well I will not even go there.. all thier cousins and brother and Aunts and Uncles will be living there before its over with LOL and a watermelon patch were the rose garden once was.. haha

      I am very sorry for you. Prejudice and hatred and the kind of ignorance you are pouring forth are poison. Poison for the person who spews them and poison for the hearts and souls of the people who hear them. You don't know most of the people you are lumping into one category or another. What you are doing is dehumanizing people so that you can feel justified in your anger. I am white and I voted for Obama because he is intelligent, compassionate, steady, a person who has worked hard all of his life. He will make an awesome president. Wait and see.

      You should keep your ignorant comments to yourself. If you knew the facts, there were to white men running for President, McCalin and Obama.

        HE IS STILL PRESIDENT.. the thing that I enjoy the most about it is because it kills racist people like you. mmm.. do you think you can get into Harvard. The funny thing is he got the educated American vote. I can tell you are one of the others.. YES WE ARE HERE TO STAY

      Um correction, the reason why we are in this mess now started with Reagan and his trickle down economics. It trickled down to Bush Sr...then to Clinton...then to George W....and now to Barack. Just like ignorance trickled down to your ignorant ass.

      Wow. A genuine, honest-to-goodness mouth-breathing racist.

      I guess no matter how much progress is made, there will always be a few of them.

    *chuckles* I wonder. If it were possible to tax people for each ignorant comment they post, then would we have had a stronger economy? Look at the headline-- For The Better: Americans Get Taxed For Churlish remarks. Appealing, wouldn't it?

    barack's victory is a good omen for the black race.the whole world can now see there is no difference ,only in colour,whether black or white ,what counts is the mind set,anybody,everybody has something to offer this generation,nobody knows it all.
    Michele is a woman of substance,with Obama i know they'll deliver.
    However ,i counselled that the president ellect and, first lady should uphold righteuosness in the light of the scripture.

  • Posted By: DapperDame @ 11/06/2008 4:25:24 PM

    I'll keep saying it.....

    For those of you who are not happy with the outcome of this election, stop complaining and blaming and hating. Just MOVE!!! you've got many places that you can go outside of the US if you feel that strongly about Obama being President. Seriously! We have too much to work together on right now to make sure our kids are ok and our future is ok. All this hatred and 'opinions' about things that MOST of these poeple have no idea about in the first place is rediculous! This is the UNITED States of America! Get it PEOPLE, UNITED!!! iIf you dont want to be a part of the solution REGARDLESS of who was elected, then you are part of the problem and you should just do us all a favor and move out of the U.S.! Period! I am sure Canada or Mexico even (if you dont like the cold) would be GLAD to have you!

      DapperDame:

      So, are you telling me that you were behind Bush when he won over Kerry??? I doubt it! And what did you do to support him???

      I have not agreed with everything he has done the last 4 years but the treatment of him by liberals has been disgusting!!!

      http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122584386627599251.html

      Why don't democrats practice what they preach?? And to tell us to move because we don't agree with you or with our current president is really pushing it too far!! Just incase you forgot, this is a free country and we are 'supposed' to be allowed to have our own ideas!!! Sorry to break it to you but it is our country too whether we support the current president of not!!!

    I love my country and I would not abandon it during the next four years. I am very concerned about the socialist programs and extra taxes that will be forced upon me to go to people who do not work to earn their own keep. Try doing away with welfare, medicaid and food stamps and watch the amount of money left over.

  • Posted By: Obama Drama @ 11/06/2008 4:52:22 PM

    I think not giving gays the right to wed is like going back 60 years ago when in some states it was against the law to allow blacks and whites to marry. In another 100 years our great great granchildren will be saying the same thing we say now about interrational mariage; - "that is just stupid and make no sense"They will wonder what the hell we were all thinking about not learning anything from the past.
    Seriously - who cares if someone gets married? I do not care - and to deny this is to say that these people in our country are less -

  • Posted By: mswonderful @ 11/06/2008 3:09:27 PM

    Whats so funny about all of this is even though we have an African-American president that was elected fair and square, there are STILL so many racist people in this world. Looking at this blog alone, I now know that The United States still has a long way to go before we can truly be 'United'. Those who made those awful comments should be ashamed of yourselves.

    • Posted By: I'm just sayin' @ 11/06/2008 3:37:19 PM

      Americans have freedom of speech and have always criticized or praised their leaders. IT IS NOT RACISM. A person who presents him- or herself as being a leader will be held to a higher standard. We pick apart our movie stars - did you think we wouldn't evaluate our politicians? Your defensiveness makes me suspect this is the first election you ever participated in.

      • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 11/06/2008 4:52:05 PM

        Racism is racism. We'll call it like we see it. Wanna criticize policy without bringing in race? Go for it.

      • Posted By: mswonderful @ 11/06/2008 4:06:09 PM

        LMAO! You can't be serious! I actually was talking to the people who were saying negative things about being African American, but since YOU got so defensive, it makes me wonder about your 'true' intentions......

        Its not easy when you realize you are racist. Its okay, just try to remember that everyone is created equal. I'll try not to feel too sorry for you.......

    Technically Obama is not black, he's white and arabic, the closest black in his family is his great grandfather on his father's side, which makes Obama 1/16th black. If you don't believe me, look it up and do the research yourself.
    I'm not a racist and never have been. I'm interested in the facts, not things that are made up by the media.
    People need to research what they think they know about our various leaders and soon to be leaders.
    You can tell a lot about a person by the past decisions and stands they have made on issues ....it's up to you to decide what is important to you. Be smart,Be educated and do your homework.
    Remember the media lies and only speaks bits of truth, and is also very biased.
    I researched and came up with my decision, I voted for the person who I thought supported the best interests of not only me and my children, but also my nation,my country.
    Now that we have a president, we need to respect him as our leader whether we agree with him or his policies or not...there's not anything you can do about it anymore.
    Bury your hatchets, ....and get over it!!!

      No, I am Kenyan and my family knows his fathers. He is BLACK and we are so proud of it. We really don't have any arabs in Kenya

    It doesn't matter what race someone is, just the good job they will do! What gets me , is yesterday at school a group of (african american)students were talking while the teacher was trying to teach and she asked them to please be quiet. Their reply was "we ain't go to, we got a black president now!" Are you kidding me? What has our world come to? I agree with what others have said about the race issue. We say it doesn't matter, but why is it so historic? Why on the tv are all the african amricans buying tons of newspapers and saying they are going to frame them? Seems like it has everything to do with race to me!

  • Posted By: debbie1234510 @ 11/06/2008 3:12:22 PM

    I am a white christian who believes the whole bible, I also have a beautiful half black neice & nephew, i wouldnt trade for nothing. I do disagree with americas choice in president, because any one who believes in the whole bible knows that you shall not murder & gay,---- two words (sodom & gommora). I dont understand how all these christians can stand for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: InSoCalifornia @ 11/06/2008 3:23:19 PM

      and somewhere in that Bible, it says ... from Jesus Himself, He who is without sin, should throw the first stone... " I'm sure you will not even attempt to pick up even a pebble !

      • Posted By: EmmDee @ 11/06/2008 3:43:31 PM

        Nah, there are plenty of people out there that this world would be better off without. Although the bible is one of the better works of fiction I have read. I love how the main character ("God") is all over the map in his thinking. "Thou shalt not commit adultery". "Abraham, go into my maid, so that I may have children by her". So Abraham cheats on his wife, and gets a whole new lineage out of it! David sent off Bathsheba's husband to be killed so he could sleep with her and he became king. Now THAT'S my kind of religion! You cheat and murder and get rewarded without consequences!

        • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 11/06/2008 4:49:04 PM

          Yep. The bible is about as consistent as McCain's campaign messages.

    • Posted By: EmmDee @ 11/06/2008 3:27:22 PM

      Actually religious scholars have stated over and over again that the bible does not condemn homosexuality. And God himself was a murderer. He killed off thousands of innocent first-born sons of Egypt just to make a point. What did those babies do to deserve being killed by your precious God? Then let's just face the fact that Jesus himself was gay. Look at the evidence. He stayed at home with his mother for the first 33 years of his life. Then he goes out into the world and the first woman he meets is a prostitute named Mary, and all he does is have her wash his feet (foot fetish maybe?). Then he spends the rest of his life with 12 other single men and at the last dinner has with them he tells them to "eat my body". Hmm...sounds like a lot of gay to me! Personally I think it is pretty cool that God made his only son gay. Very PC of him.

      • Posted By: SuzieReeve @ 11/06/2008 3:48:16 PM

        I normally don't have discussions with ignorant people but in your case I'll make an exception. First, if you want to try and interpret the bible you should understand the cultural relativity of the time. Washing his feet was a very intimate act, a sign of close servitude and his purity was in his being a perfect sacrifice. Isn't it wonderful that we serve a God that will even love those people who make fun of him and degrade him as you have. Someday you may have an opportuntiy to answer that knock on your heart from Christ. When you do and you feel that deep sense of shame from your behaviour towards him - just remember he loves you anyway.

        • Posted By: Johnsonium @ 11/06/2008 4:48:12 PM

          I don't care if Jesus was gay or not. He wasn't divine so his sexual preference is immaterial.

        • Posted By: EmmDee @ 11/06/2008 4:06:16 PM

          How can a fictional being love me? That would be like saying Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy love me. I stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago. But this is the kind of response that is so much fun to read because it's clear how many people are missing a sense of humor. Everyone knows the bible is so full of hyperbole and distortions (does anyone REALLY believe Abraham and Noah lived for centuries? Or that the world was created in 7 days?). It's full of myths like every religion has, which is fine. It does make for interesting reading. I've always been partial to Celtic and Nordic mythology myself. And if you want to put a cultural context into play, that is why some people interpret the bible as condemning homosexuality. Look at it historically. The Jewish people were a new group that just did not have a large population. So how are you going to make sure that your group procreates to extend your numbers? Simple, you tell them that masturbation is a sin, being gay is a sin, and thus you scare people into only having sex to make more of the next generation that you can then pass on your personal beliefs to. That 's the only reason people back then would write of being gay as sinful because then you pressure everyone into only having sex to procreate.

    • Posted By: Nicola29 @ 11/06/2008 3:43:38 PM

      And who the hell said OBAMA believed in Murder and GAY. Last time I checked he was married to a woman, and I dont recall her having any abortions and I dont recall him killing anyone. Is he going to be judging them on judgement day. God say we cannot judge any man he is the judge. Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!

    michelle is a typical militant black person looking for a handout. She is a hypocrit that openly dissed our country and now she is in the White House. She dosn't belong in there.

    • Posted By: lovecharm @ 11/06/2008 4:48:49 PM

      Do you even know what a militant is? If so, then you must be considering Baby Bush and Cheney militants as well. They aggressively overtook a country just for the sake of oil and are now leaving office with fat pockets as the AMERICAN people are left in an infantile state (looking for a HANDOUT...500+ billion dollars from China and others) That includes YOU!!!!
      Which is why Michelle the Princeton AND Harvard Law School graduate quit her Law firm position to assist her husbands campaign in hopes to help ungrateful people like you. So don't hate, APPRECIATE!!!

    • Posted By: lovecharm @ 11/06/2008 4:25:24 PM

      Do you even know what a militant is? If so then you obviously consider baby Bush and Chaney militants too. Because they aggressively ovetook a country just for the sake of oil and now we the AMERICANS are paying for it while they leave office with fat pockets. Leaving this whole country in an infantile state (looking for a HANDOUT...500+ billion dollars from China and others). That includes YOU.
      By the way just a little reminder Michelle is a Princeton and Harvard Graduate who quite her job as an attorney to assist her husband with his campaign in hopes to help people like YOU. So don't HATE, Appreciate!!!

    • Posted By: JackieMBA-CPA @ 11/06/2008 4:09:35 PM

      She gave up a $200,000/ year job to be the first lady. Is it a hand out when black people do not work for free as they did during slavery?

    • Posted By: Justbelieve @ 11/06/2008 3:48:29 PM

      She is an intelligent classy lady with a law degree. She's worked hard to get that and she sure doesn't need a hand out. What about you?

  • Posted By: anotherait @ 11/06/2008 4:19:00 PM

    Wow really Is Barrak and Michelle Black. I thought all men were created equal under God's eyes and if I remember correctly we also have laws in our constitution that state all men are created equally. So prejudice people from one white woman to the rest of the world get over this crap and grow up and start looking beyond color. God himself says there is neither jew nor greek nor bond nor free for all are one under God. And this country was built on freedom of Religion and expression and believe me it still is so grow up and start loving your brother as you would love yourself. I am so tired of the bickering and arguing over who is best. I prayed and thought long and hard and God is the one who is still leading this country not man and his thoughts and ideas. So just learn to live with it and get yourself out of it.

    • Posted By: anotherait @ 11/06/2008 4:48:33 PM

      If people were truly honestly good people we would all stop talking like everyone else is wrong and we are right. I know that my vote counted for something good and I am glad Michelle and Barrak are going to be our next president and first lady of the united states. It makes no difference of their color. I just hope and pray that someone doesn't harm any hair on either one of them and that they can find some way to help single parents with children have better lives. Because right now I am a single mom with two kids working two jobs and have been single for 15 years and want to find a way to get out of debt and be able to truly live the life I deserve. I am not asking for a hand out but a hand up. So many people want hand outs in this country and I am working hard just need a hand up to make my kid's lives better than mine was growing up. And community, people helping people is just what we need just like Michelle says in her article here. Community helping community. That is what we need to help get our country back on track no more bickering no more arguing no more hate and lies and more crossing the boundries and loving our neighbor. Please people love one another stop the hate.
