    President Elect obama ran on the platform of Change. Why can we not just embrace that? Anyone who has lived and experienced life realizes that the only constant is change. This can and should be a wonderful experience for all of this country's citizens. So let's, as a people sit back and enjoy change, embrace change and see how you, your family, and friends can benefit from it. If you are one of these people who sees color and just is not at ease with a African american President, close your eyes when he speaks and preend he is whatever color you want him to be. But please just listen to what he is saying and how he wants to grow this country. This can work- you can fight or join it but it is happening.

    I am a white woman and am thrilled to have Barack and Michelle Obama, and their beautiful little girls as our first family. I feel sorry for all the Republicans who actually believed all the smear-mails about Obama. They must truly feel scared, but that is what their party rulers wanted. Thankfully the majority of Americans are too intelligent to fall for their lies. The world is celebrating our selection of a new president because he has already gained their respect. It's time for all Americans to step up and support this new leader. I am very confident he will be a great one.

    I think Machelle Obama is Fine, she will endure many changes herself in the years to come, along with her family.. She'll do fine in the whitehous adjusting. As far as the Obama family in general, They deserve a chance like anyother previous canadates we have chosen to try to turn things arround. And her Husband has a very big job ahead, He sure cant hurt anything. Its not color, People get over it.. Quit pulling America backwards. If you think you can do a better job or have balls enough to try, get your behind up there and run yourself. I am very appreaciative he was willing to accept and take on the challenges ahead. We should feel blessed he is willing. He has hope we can Make a change, and he will look at us all as one, one big team. Not Black, whites, hispanic, or what ever.. ONE Because as a team "YES WE CAN" He has the drive and the will I will be wishing him and his family the best and as my new president I will be American and stand beside Him as I did with all our presidents past. I have never voted all dem, or rep. I vote for who I think is best for the job at hand. who I think can preform and complete task given.

      Enter Your Comment Why does he deserve a chance. He's absolutely done nothing to deserve the position in which he was voted in to. He has the worst Senatorial record and NO experience at all doing anything but associating himself with self-serving criminals. He is a radical racist and DESERVES nothing.

    I am a twenty something mix who does not like Obama. Do you understand it's a religion thing? You keep calling us racist. A smart Christian sees this as a religion thing. Do you understand?

    STOP BEING SOO UPSET THIS DOESN"T CHANGE THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT YOU ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE!!!!

  • Posted By: donnabeth @ 11/06/2008 2:03:33 PM

    Here's to Chris5209 who is ashamed of this country. You can leave anytime because your mentality doesn't fit with democracy, something you have taken for granted and enjoyed. I am very proud of the fact that we elected a man based on who he is and not the same old political machine. Some of you all seem to think you can speak for Obama and obviously your information comes from nothing more than propaganda and you aren't smart enough to verify it. We have restored dignifity again in this country, because the people have taken their country back. If you are going to hinder progress, then leave.

    It's shocking to read some of these comments and makes me glad that I live in Hawaii where we still have the spirit of Aloha! We native Hawaiians struggle with loss of culture and language issues but not much is tied into one's skin color.

    Imua Obama Family, we are proud of you!

    With all the problems this country is facing, it will be a pleasure to see this beautiful family in the White House. Every now and then we need to lighten up. Watching these cute youngsters, a dog, and two people who seem to truly adore each other, can't be anything but good and uplifting for our country. I'm looking forward to a fresh start for our nation.

    It matters not whether you voted for President elect Obama. Like he said, to those who didn't vote for him. "I will be your president too"

    America voted for him, and by America I mean the melting post comprised of all races. Barack Obama is now your president, no form of whining, complaining, hating etc., can undo that. Congratulations to the Obama and Biden family. Way to go Democrats!

    I wish that whites stop describing people as ???blacks, browns, yellow??? to segregate their identities. President Barack Obama was born to a fair skin American woman and shares Caucasian genes that afforded him as much affinity with the European-Americans as with the Afro-Americans. He is an Afro-European-American and does not have a particular or selective DNA of a particular race, but he is a honourable and morally correct human being who also happened to be exorbitantly intelligent and able. I believe it was his immense intellect, impressive clarity of vision and mind that attracted American electorate in hordes into his camp irrespective of their skin colour, race and origins.

    But it is essential that the Afro-American must detach themselves from this stereotype notion and a kind of entropy of mind that ???all is bad in my garden and everything is good in my European-American neighbour's garden. If they wish and want to succeed and prosper, they must abandon this lethargic notion that the easiest way to fame and riches is to sing the blues, jazz, dance reggae and play piano at clubs and entertain. They have to stand equal to their and compatriots and rivals, educate themselves at the highest academic standards, learn modern skills and excel in every sphere of life. Barack Obama has proved that impossible can be made possible but one has to burn midnight candles, work damn hard to reach the ultimate destination. It is not the monopoly any one???s skin-colour, origin or the privileged background but largely depends upon brain cells carried in the cerebrum.

    I wish President Barack Obama good luck living in the White House and working in the Oval Office and may his term in office and presidency becomes as historical and symbolic as his election.

      So, should we call you negros, mexicans ect......

    Yes Michelle will have some expaining to do about that red/black dress but all of us have a picture or remember an outfit that we wore and thought what was I thinking. Remember the 80's. Even Hillary was told to change her look (headbands)
    Give Michelle a break and blame the person who told her that dress was OK

  • Posted By: MOando @ 11/06/2008 1:34:04 PM

    I don't think Michelle Obama has much to offer this nation as first lady. She will be followed by only a few, and they will all be black. Considering what percentage blacks make up in this country, she will likely not have much of a following. Her agenda will not be considered too important, except by blacks, and even then, they tend to be fickle. Uneducated blacks won't know what to make of her, since she is educated, so most of what she says and does will be unremarkable to most black women and men. Laura Bush was an educator and pushed reading, something that all could relate to, even those less educated, black and white. As an educated white woman, Michelle Obama has nothing to teach me. Bias? Yes I am because if it is okay for blacks to prefer blacks to be their teachers, mentors, and leaders, then it should be okay for whites to prefer whites as their teachers, mentors and leaders.

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

      Americans refer to Presidents by last name all of the time, which I am sure we all of "guilty" of doing; ie: Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter...etc. Looking for 'anything' to find a place to condemn? I guess you found it. Second, watermelon is an American favorite; especially during 4th of July celebrations...maybe Blacks are more patriotic! Third, to say that uneducated Blacks will not relate to Mrs. Obama is ludicrous! (Uneducated Whites relate to Mrs. McCain...especially the meth heads arrested for a plot on President OBAMA...can you say that one yet? PRESIDENT OBAMA...) LOL (I bet that sends you into waves of shaking rage).

      And while you are talking about respect, how can you demand of someone what you fail to do? Obviously, your habit of deragatory, rude and KNOWINGLY misleading rhetoric of racial bigotry seems to remain, and yes, it is time to stop. Change has come. (Even Jesus said in the Bible: "In the last days, the first will be last and the last will be first...) Go figure...Oh, but He is a Jew, so, I guess you hate Him too. (Or will you claim "Christianity" with hate in your heart?

      I voted OBAMA and YES WE DID!

      Someone who understands things as they really are, BRAVO !

    • Posted By: scifichick @ 11/06/2008 1:43:06 PM

      To MOando 1:34:04 PM - That is so ignorant and racist, I can scarcly believe it. You can't see past your racism to Michelle's potential to be a role-model for all women everywhere, regardless of their color. Good - keep your bigoted self surrounded by others who believe the same as you do, that way nothing will upset your precious status quo, and all of us enlighted folks won't have to listen to your bullsh*t. Coming from a white woman who doesn't care what color my president or first lady are, just that they are intelligent, forward-thinking, and hard working individuals.

      I don't know any "uneducated" blacks or whites for that matter in this country. Perhaps you've been brainwashed by the mainstream media and pollsters whom I believe refer to those without a college education as "uneducated". I happen to have known many of these so called "uneducate" folks that were a lot more intelligent than the so called "educated"....at least they are able to think for themselves! This election would be a case in point......welcome to the USSA!!!!

    • Posted By: PR79 @ 11/06/2008 1:39:47 PM

      You sound more like an ignorant white woman, and do not represent the rest of us who have grown from the mistakes and bigotry of those who came before us.

  • Posted By: katelinn2 @ 11/06/2008 1:20:45 PM

    wow wow wow! that was sooooo full of crap chris5209. because of people that thinks the way you think the country and the whole world is so *** up. it was high time that we had a change! we deserved it and the rest of the world too. I'm sick and tired of wars, internventions, corruption, lies and liers just for the benefit of a few that think the way YOU think. the world hates USA all over... it must be for a reason don't you think?
