    just a comment about what i have read to understand this country... there will always be racism in this country as much as that is sad it is true... blacks hating , whites hating, spanish hating, and all the other racises..ex.... history of our poor black americans saddens me to my core. but it is history, but yet it still did happen. to them and so many of them are still alive today, and how sad it must have been for them to see loved ones being hung, shot , used as slaves... that will and can not ever happen again in this world... yet i feel and you may respond to me if u have an opinon , that in the 50's and 60's weather people were black or white there was so much racism, by our parents... i am a white american, and i am 50 yrs old and tought my children the color of someone does not matter it is the person they are... i must hand it to all our children who are 20 something they dont see color so many of them, yes i am sure there are a few because there 50something parents taught them the same way there parents taught them to hate... and that is sad in this day and age... i am not and never was a racist. i have friends of many many different back rounds, black americans, spanish americans, and so many other racises and we have such a great time and alot of fun together.... america this is 2008, time for change obama won a white black american thank god maybe just maybe in my granddaughters life time there will be no more racism of any kind what so ever.... i hate the post about race, it is about america and our president. god bless u all and god bless this country

    mmateo, I'm sorry you feel this way and I pitty you. You do not have to like Obama or anyone you choose not to like, but people deserve respect for simply being people. The world can't be wrong about Obama. Even if, in the end, you don't agree, give yourself a chance to grow as an individual and develop knowledge. Give yourself a chance to open your mind. What are you so afraid of?

      MMateo has already opened his mind: It is full of dung, as revealed by what came out of it in his series of comments. Ignorance can be repaired, but vileness such as his comes directly from the pit of Hell. He gives stupidity as bad name. Fortunately for the rest of us, black, brown red, yellow or white, his knid represents a distinct minority of subspecies that are jealous of our humanity. He hates the fact that roaches cannot be elected president of anything--except possibly ROACHNESS.

    This is not a black and white issue.. President Elect Obama is now the President of one of the greatest countries on this earth and he serves us all, whether we are white, black, Hispanic or Asian, male or female. First Lady Obama will be gracious and serve our country well. We should leave our negative opinions to ourselves as we focus on how to get our country back on track. What Ms. Obama wears should be the least of our worries.

      Amen.

        Well said! How petty it is to comment on a dress she wore once... we're LUCKY to have a woman in the white house so devoted to us, "the people of America".

      • Posted By: smart1 @ 11/06/2008 2:43:07 PM

        I agree with you people should quit focusing on fashion and the focus on the people who are really trying to help us all regardless of skin color. If people start talking positive , positive things will happen. Only small people are racist and bigots

    Its funny the African American Community is acting so appreciative of the fact that Obama
    is now President Elect.
    Where is the realization that this type of this is not something that is given to you its something that
    should be EXPECTED.
    DONT be appreciative expect more!

    For those of you who are telling people to move you should understand that that is in a lot of peoples plans. Including the ones with money. Market is on a selling spree before the tax increase and money is getting transfered to offshore accounts. Land is being purchased in other countries along with homes and the money is on the move. Ex: Look at a lot of celebs and millonaires who have homes here and other parts of the country. Those of you who want to take from the rich and give to lazy people I have a warning for you. When all the rich money is other countries who are you going to take money from then. Hint: YOURSELF

    FIRST OF ALL NYUP, ALL BLACKS ARE NOT GOING TO GET HONORARY COLLEGE DEGREES
    OR BECOME AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFIED FOR BETTER JOBS JUST BECAUSE A MUSLIM IS PRESIDENT.
    YOU DIDNT DO YOU HOMEWORK JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HIM.
    CHECK BACK IN TWO YEARS WHEN YOUR SITUATION IS STILL THE SAME. WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT YOU, RICHER BECAUSE THE WELFARE SYSTEM WOULD GO BACK TO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND THERE WOULD NOT BE ANYONE TO ABUSE IT ANYMORE. GET A LIFE

    Congratulations AMERICA! The time for a Change of proper delivery has come. Obama will make America and the whole world proud. America can do it with Obama's intelligent lead and with the help of you all. Instead of passing those racial and shameful comments you people should start accepting the New America.

    I am sure that now that Michelle wiggled her way into the white house she will all of sudden like America.

    I just hope she shaves her legs and wears pantyhose. Some don't like to.

      myuncle: What is the matter with you anyway? Your mocking rhetoric and mean, snarky comments are awful. It appears that Michelle Obama is much more respectful and gracious, than you are. Integrity matters. So does tolerance and kindness. You could use some.

    • Posted By: ALICIA197407 @ 11/06/2008 2:28:42 PM

      You probably don't shave your legs. Now see how ya like that!!!

  • Posted By: mycle39 @ 11/06/2008 1:46:23 PM

    Please spare me the BS. By electing Obama, this country is on a Libral, spiral downward!

      Enter Your CommentThe only thing that's spiraling downward is your IQ. Get a grip and spend more time out in the fresh air instead of behind your computer spouting insults, evil thoughts and invective.

      The downward spiral lasted eight years with George "which way do I go" Bushi Nobody cares about you Ugly Americans anymore., You're finished.

  • Posted By: JamGirl29 @ 11/06/2008 2:46:29 PM

    Someone please explain to me because I still can't understand. Why is it that some whites hate blacks? Is it because we are no longer enslaved? And for those who always suggest that blacks are always looking to get freebies such a statement is so not true. If you really think about while we were enslaved, we had nothing because, we were not allowed. We were not regarding as human . I am black and I am proud. Blacks have come a far way and no othere race will ever feel or no what it feels like to be black. We as a people are happy that Mr Obama was elected because at least now the government will pay some attention to our communities. Our communities are left deteriorate and our schools are lacking. At least I thank God for the few white people who are unlike the HATEFUL, RaCists ones. Instead of whites assuming that we are only thugs, drug dealers, welfare mothers, or whatever else please be mindful that we are just as Human and essential as everyone else. I welcome your response..

    Obama is it a Bi-Racial !!!! For white people ha is black just like ,if any person doesn't have blond and blue(greens) eyes are not considered white under the eyes of the traditional caucasian Americans...!!!! It is so sad , but now GOD (WHO IS NOT A REGISTER VOTER <BUT WORKS IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WHEN HE WANTS TO ) is "slashing" TO ALL RACIST PEOPLE by proving indirectly saying LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS LIKE YOURSELVES , ACCEPT HIM AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. AND " TRUST ME " !!!! The past history of dark color people being kept as "slaves" by the white man ,also has a meaning under God's plan to all of us....It is lesson to be learned .Of course dark color people was not the only ones who suffered as slaves in the past of World History!!! Many "native indians" from North and South america also were slaves and got killed at some point. Many people in Asian countries are treated as slaves in OUR DAYS !!!!
    Just think, If Obama was not a Bi-racial we will NOT be making history now haveing him as our new president !!! Sometimes people think....the atheists say that God doesn exist because why he will let people suffre so much....why God allowed bad things to happen !!! Don't ask yourself WHY ??? Accept if you don't have the power to change it because it has meaning behind it.....PLus EARTH IS NOT "HEAVEN" WHERE EVERYTHING IS DESCRIVED AS "PERFECT" AND "PAIN " IS NOT PART OF IT.

    I'am not pushig my thoughts to anybody but I hope my comments can HELP some of you to FIND your OWN answers for your questions....in WHY OBAMA??? WHY MICHELLE DRESSES LIKE THAT ETC...

  • Posted By: ladylopaz @ 11/06/2008 2:46:00 PM

    GOD Bless America, we need GOD back in the United States so that we can survive and live in freedom. Freedom is in Christ Jesus, not mortal man... We are in the end times, I suggest that you get your souls right so that you can live past mans ideas and have eternal life in GOD!

    We did it, we got another JFK just what we need. OBAMA is my president...

    For the past few years it has been difficult if not down right embarrasing to be a republican. Bush has brought enough trouble to enough people in this country to last for far too long and there is a desperate need for change. I think that this election held two candidates that spent too much time bashing each other and America could have looked elswhere for a better candidate. That said the election is over, Bush days are over and Obama is the next president. Bashing him or his family is nothing short of disrespectful and igrorant. Michelle is a beautiful woman no matter what anyone says or what she wears. She and her husband will move into the white house and take on the most difficult job in the world. I for one will pray for them and hope for the best for America. We need change whether it come from a Democrat or a Republican at this point is not a worth arguing over. I am a republican and I am more than a little embarrased over the derogatory comments about Obama and his family that are posted here. There are more than a few people here who should be embarrased of themselves.

    • Posted By: Seventh Son @ 11/06/2008 2:44:03 PM

      Dear thinkb4uspeak. This is what I call a relaistic comment based on reality and facts. I pray that people like iamabookreader (whch books? Mein Kampf?), reads deeply into your comment and can find the courage to admit that a new day has dawned America and that if they are not a pasrt of it, they will be apart from it. No one cares about people like that anymore except the few hundred thousand peopole in this country who are just like them. The 'real Americans' joined together to save this counhtry by freeing it from failed Republican leadership. Perhaps a younger, more forward-looking generation of Republican leadership can emerge now to recover from the failures of eight years do-nothing years of the George W. Bush presidency? It's Barack Obama's time now. Whether that is the Will of God or the will of the people, its a done deal and we, the American people, shouldn't waste anymore precious time being separate and apart from one another when we have so much to offer each other. We need a new national people-to-people agenda. We don't know or respect each other well enough; its time to 'get it together' people.

    • Posted By: DoogieBo @ 11/06/2008 2:04:55 PM

      And you don't think bashing PRESIDENT Bush is disrespectful? Get real. You better PRAY that President-elect Obama doesn't have to face the challenges that confronted President Bush. At lease President Bush had a strong moral foundation to draw on for strength. And President Bush didn't create the economic crisis - our liberal democrats did that for us by requiring lenders to extend credit to people without the ability or will to pay.

      I wish President-elect Obama good luck. His platform and ideas are completely naive. Let's hope he figures it out before he does too much damage.

  • Posted By: 04lopez @ 11/06/2008 2:43:56 PM

    I believe we are a person within everybody else, I'm tired of people labeling everybody black, brown, white we are all the same we where born in a hospital with all races and will be buried in a cementary with all races so come on. Let's move on and bring prosperity to this country we have to help out each other and everybody out in order to live with peace and prosperity with-out racism.

  • Posted By: Panama John McCain @ 11/06/2008 2:43:50 PM

    Obama is half-white
    The First Lady is the first black First Lady I guess though

    I hope she is proud of America now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: ALICIA197407 @ 11/06/2008 2:15:08 PM

      Are you proud of America? Worry about yourself!!!!

        You took her comments out of context and should reread the story.

  • Posted By: BostonTeaParty13 @ 11/06/2008 2:43:37 PM

    By the way, he is NOT the first African American President. According to most Liberals, Bill Clinton was. But stop talking about race. He is only Black by color. His Dad was Kenyian and his mother is white. He was raised by his white Grandmother. By the way, nice pick of Rahm Emanuel. The man that said Republicans can go F themselves. Nice we are off to a great start.

  • Posted By: ptazo @ 11/06/2008 2:43:00 PM

    This is a beautiful time for America. We should all be thankful to God that He has allowed us to see such an historical event and see how He performs miracles. I am grateful that we, together, stood and supported the man we believe in and trust. Thanks and God bless to all who graciously fought for a change.

  • Posted By: bassrhythms @ 11/06/2008 2:38:38 PM

    All I have to say about the election is that every President has been white,so it is about time a black man was put in to try things a little different from the white man..Already some countries around the world are giving us a little respect for doing what we have been preaching.So in ways we are already better of around the world.

    • Posted By: Bored @ 11/06/2008 2:42:40 PM

      Do black brains somehow work differently than white brains? Is it going to be a new strategy or a new thought because the tint on the outside is different? Really?
