    That comment below was a bit unnecessary. You seem to think that all of us "whites" feel like blacks should owe us something. Did you vote for Obama just because he was black or it was the popular thing to do? Or did you vote for him because you saw his good character and what he really wants to do for this country? By the way, your black president is really half-white, so not only did you insult all of us whites, you insulted your new president's mother and beloved grandmother who just passed away. I don't care if our new president is purple, just as long as he is here to serve America before himself and to continue to make it the great nation it is. If you look in the history of Africans, they are no better than we are...and if you dislike us whites in America so much, then leave.

    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.

    If you want to talk about race is it not Racist that 98% of Blacks voted for Obama? What if 98% of Whites voted for McCain? I am NOT a racist. I am sick of paying for things that NONE of my ancestors did. Can we not just all get along?

    Hmm...I guess Rebecca just move back since President Bush is leaving office. Wonder what she thought about all the hate talk then. George Bush is ten times the president Hussein will ever be.

      For your information, I didnt have a problem with Bush, I thought he was the better man for the job at the time. Just like I think Obama is the better man for the job now, What's your excuse? You packed yet?

    I am a white woman married to a black man with 3 mixed children. We all live as one happy family. Why cant people get over the past and stop being so raciest. We should NOT submit this kind of behaiver to our children, grand children ect. it is wrong!! We as one nation should be color blind. Just because oboma won (which i voted for) doesnt mean this becomes a raciest world. It is sad. VERY VERY SAD we as americans are acting like this. Remember Oboma is MIXED WHITE AND BLACK. So all of you need to stop being so raciest and lets live as one as we have been in the past. Look upon new change and get along with all no matter their race.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA WE NEED IT RIGHT NOW MORE THAN EVER!!

    One issue that I've heard noone discuss is how racist the African Americans were in this election.Most African Americans I've had discussions with voted for Sen.Obama because he was black.If I said I voted for someone because they were white I would be labeled a racist.Same old double standard.The most racist people I've met are black,just my experience.And I disagree with krsimpson.It is definately a black and white issue.This country is more divided than ever.I would rather give my money away to charity than support an administration that is obviously so racist.And also will tax successful citizens at a higher rate.I hate socialism!

    Comment: TO ALL OF THE RACIST OF THE WORLD...HE IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT. WATCH WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE YOU MAY GET YOURSELF JAMMED UP ON HERE AND END UP UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. PRISON DOESN'T LOOK TO GOOD NOWAYDAYS.

  • Posted By: volkiev @ 11/06/2008 2:51:44 PM

    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)

  • Posted By: Cool-rock @ 11/06/2008 2:51:04 PM

    Well hopefully Obama will be a role-model to all of those people who want to blame others for them not being successful. No one gave him this presidency, he worked for it. How many people probably told him he does not have a chance, but he did it. To those people who have been taking advantage of the system and been living off the government. Get ready to go to work, this president has no pity for slackers or people who don???t work to achieve their goals. This man is going to be the real deal. Many of the people who voted for him just because the color of his skin will probably be the same ones who will see there free-pass disappear. A white man would never be able to make the changes that need to be made or say the things that need to be said, but when a black man who has worked his way to the top gets there, he can. I expect he will.

    I voted fo Maccain ,because just like Obama, both could do a better job than Bush,but Maccain fought for the country more than Obama and he is also older.I think he deresved a chance of being the President of a country he loves so much! His last speech proved how good president he could be if he had won the election battle!!!!!!! Obama could had been president next time, but God let things happen for a REASON and now I understand that there is a very important REASON behind Obama become our new president and Michelle ,our first lady !!!! She might need some help with fashion ideas ,BUT The main point is not in the Clothes you will WEAR as a first lady, but the great impact she could make in Americans in general and in the minds of the African-american population. Many African -Americans " depend" on "Well fare " to survive and that is a FACT and not and ATTACK. I think Mr & Mrs Obama will be great examples that being on the Wellfare for forever....like many people are for years.... will not make you a President of the United States.You have to LEARN to do better for yourselves and work for a pay check instead of being in home eating "potato chips" on the counch and growing a lazy fat ass and make TONS of kids that you cannot afford to raise But relay on the "Wellfare" (Government) to help raise them.The kids are your responsability in the first place and not the money from the tax payers who work hard like the Obamas and myself !!!!!!!

      Please be reminded that many whites are also on Welfare

    • Posted By: Phillyluvbug @ 11/06/2008 1:52:40 PM

      Why do the white man always have to go first? I can't believe that so many people have been brain washed as a child to think that the color of your skin means you are superior to others. You mention African Americans being on welfare, well let me plant this fact on you, Welfare was granted to whites first, it was designed to help out white families, and even now, the majority of welfare recipients are white! We have to learn how to better ourselves? Listen to yourself and your views, I believe you have some schooling to do. You are quick to put a race of people down based off of STEREO TYPES, you are very ignorant to the great things my people have accomplished despite Whites being fearful of us and always trying to bring us down and hold us back! What is so sad is that the so called "real Americans" are just like you, always ready to say you're God Fearing people, well what GOD are you following, because the way you speak is not God like at all. Casting stones is not the way, honey. Obama is trying to Unite everyone, something you are scared of for what ever reason. What's the matter, do want the rest of the world to know the truth about who you really are? You don't want to get to know a black person, so you will watch what the media fed to you and run with it. SAD!!! Pick up a book, have lunch with me, and see if I fit the description you gave in your ignorant Post. I feel sorry for you, and will pray for you. Your views are the reason why this nation needs change!

    • Posted By: Phillyluvbug @ 11/06/2008 1:38:32 PM

      I must respond to this, well fare was granted to white people first, and even today, there are more whites on welfare than any other race. You learn how to do better for yourself, and stop taking credit for others races hard work, sweat and tears! You, like other McCain supporters have blinders up, and you are the reason this country is divided. We don't need your back handed "compliments', get over yourself White Woman, you're not greater than anyone!!! Whites are not the only working class citizens that pays taxes, you have been brain washed with the most ignorant of information. Can someone say "STEREO TYPE". That's what you are good for, Stereo typing those you never took time to learn about. Grow a brain!

    I am sick and tired of hearing about his race! Are there no educated minds anymore? Let's focus on the real deal and stop being so antagonizing! Sometimes it seems like this is a website full of middle schoolers.. Grow up people!

    With all the B/S Bush messed up on of course it will take Obama years to fix it. So it's only natural that things may not start turning around as quickly as we expect. Obama is one of the most talented and intelligent people I've seen and best of fall he never looses his cool or runs/say anything negative about anyone. A man like that deserves our respect no matter what the color of his skin is. Point: he is human and his blood is the same color as everyone on earth.

    So you should be shame bugsgirl for say "all talk and no action." It's pep like Bush that has be mess it all up for everyone.

    Stella23, your comments are based on anger, jelousy, envy and strife and that kind of Spirit will destroy your soul eternally. Satan has you right where he wants you, to destroy you and when your'e gone, you won't be here anymore to express your negativity. Your'e in a trap, I'm praying for your relase from the bondage of SATAN!

    "imabookreader" , I was the one who said God chose OBAMA!!!! God allowed it to happened !!!! Martin Luther King was assassinated , but he was able to pass hi MESSAGE to the world and that was his mission under God's plan !!! God has the power to stop things if its not under his Divine Plan !!!! Everything happens for a reason and Obama is part of God's plan for this country and if he was not God coul perform a miracle and Maccain could win!!! ,God can stop all if doesn't follow his "AGENDA" and not ours....I did not voted for OBAM BUT HE WAS MEANT TO BE OUR PRESIDENT AND SOMEDAY WE WILL UNDERSTAND " WHY " !!!!!

      GOD, has given us choices in this life, he lets us make mistakes, he lets us do good, and watches from above, so my dear you are so wrong, god would not have allowed mcain to win he wanted americans to vote so you dont know what you are talking about, oh i suppose u think he could have stoped 9-11, well no cause he gave everyone choices to make nothing is our gods fault get education on this and stop bringing god into it ... idiot...
