    What is sad is your inability to see the results of this election for what it means. A positive move towards tomorrow, an indication that we have moved on from the years when barbaric "things" pretended to be human beings, fooled themselves into thinking they were superior and enslaved others. We have come far. At least Americans (the majority) have proven to the world that they can now judge a man on his merits and not the colour of his skin. SHAME ON YOU!

      WHAT MERITS DONE OBAMA HAVE ? NONE, . . .PREPARE HIM FOR THE PRESIDENCY. . .

    I am a white woman and i support BARACK OBAMA ALL THE WAY! I was raised around racism but guess what I am married to a BLACK MAN and i have a beautiful BI RACIAL child and i couldnt ask for it any other way. PEOPLE GROW UP AND GET OVER IT- RACISM IS SO CHILDISH AND DISGUSTING!

    Especially to LHRAY, I don't know what campaign you were following. It was clear and consistent that the entire republican party embarked and maintained ONLY a negative campaign. Did not have much to say (that was true) about their own candidate. I suppose they were hoping that by spreading lies and racist comments against PRESIDENT O'BAMA, the entrenched, multi-generational racists would respond to their fear of something that is quite apart from their minute intellects--someone great (who just happened to be non-white) EARNING the opportunity to finally lead our country to the greatness we used to stand for.

      obviously not the same one as you...take the blinders off..

    Start showing the bin Obamas some respect by getting your religons straight...

    To be correct you should say "may Allah bless them"...

      You show it first and maybe we will follow!

      • Posted By: CouldCareLessAnymore @ 11/06/2008 1:47:36 PM

        Ok...

        May Allah bless the bin Obamas...

      Another ridiculous comment from an uninformed radical racist.

      To the other person who called Obama;s campaign donations "illegal"? Since when is MY personal money illegal? You just don't get it....and stop with the lies...that crap didn't work for McCain/Palin, and its not going to work now...because NO ONE BELIEVES your nonsense!

    Obama isn't our first Black President...he's half White.

    This interview was done prior to the election, yet the questions are very pointed as if they knew Obama was the winner already.. Does anyone else besides me find this as strange?

    • Posted By: Candelion @ 11/06/2008 1:47:02 PM

      There was a similar interview with Cindy McCain.

    Mateo,

    It really doesn't matter what kind of filth and hated you spew....PRESIDENT OBAMA is the man chosen by God to hold the highest office in America. Fortunately you and your kind are a tiny minortiy. So what you think....that's right, DOESN'T EVEN MATTER! :-) The people that view President Obama as truly the vehicle for change in America have spoken and you are outnumbered. So I suggest you pack your trailer up another corner of the world. BARRACK IS HERE TO STAY....

    Isaiah 54: 17

    "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD.

    • Posted By: imabookreader @ 11/06/2008 1:46:50 PM

      God didn't choose Obama.....man did. Do not be decieved. God gives man free will to make his own choices and yes, he will sit back and watch us self-destruct.

  • Posted By: Justthefacts2 @ 11/06/2008 1:46:04 PM

    Who cares. It's the wrong party moving into the White House.

  • Posted By: greengal @ 11/06/2008 1:46:02 PM

    I think that people with so much hate should refrain from using God's name. These comments are obviously from persons who see it as a white person's right to rule ans all others can drop dead or dissapear. Barack Obama is the man called by God to lead at this time. Those of you who do not like the idea, get used to it and pray to God to help you to see all people as equal. One day we will have a hispanic president as well. Hate has no place in the United States of America.

  • Posted By: amy04790460 @ 11/06/2008 1:45:58 PM

    I'm afraid theat this election has not divided people into two but more like 5 different ways. It proves to me once again that you don't need to work for anything, you just need to get lucky. Just so people are aware most Cherokees do not want Obama because of the healthcare and religion issue.

    The spelling in this blog is terrible, but I saw one misspelling that was kind of funny. BARRACK OBAMA If you're completely unaware what a barrack is then look it up because you're gonna need one if we wind up in a big war.

  • Posted By: TONILSIMS @ 11/06/2008 1:45:27 PM

    TO THE SISTER (JMOTON2005), I COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR TRUE WORK OF KNOWLEDGE. YOU GO GIRL. WE ARE ALL PEOPLE OF GOD, SO GET USE TO A DARK SKIN MAN WITH HIS BLACK FAMILY IN THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE!

  • Posted By: lizzard @ 11/06/2008 12:57:27 PM

    I AM HALF HISPANIC HALF WHITE. OBAMA IS HALF BLACK HALF WHITE. WHY ARE THEY STATING THAT HE IS THE FIRST BLACK MAN TO BE ELECTED AS PRESIDENT. HE IS ONLY HALF BLACK. IS IT BECAUSE HE LOOKS MORE BLACK THAN WHITE. I AM CONFUSED. I WAS JUST THINKING IF I HAD BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (GOD FORBID) WOULD THEY SAY I WAS THE FIRST HISPANIC WOMAN OR WOULD THEY SAY I WAS A WHITE WOMAN. YOU SEE, I LOOK MORE WHITE THAN I DO HISPANIC. I AM JUST THROWING THIS OUT TO EVERYONE.. REGARDING THE PERSON'S PREVIOUS COMMENT WHY COULDN'T THEY STATE WE ELECTED A NEW PRESIDENT THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE RACE. I KNOW THIS IS A GREAT STEP FOR BLACK AMERICANS BUT ALSO ON THE OTHER HAND IF WE DID NOT USE RACE SO MUCH THAN MAYBE WE CAN END PREJUDICENESS IN OUR WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. AFTER ALL WERE ALL THE SAME , WE PUT ARE PANTS ON THE SAME. WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT....JUST DIFFERENT PIGMENTATION. I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE.

    • Posted By: hoffman199 @ 11/06/2008 1:13:37 PM

      Why does this matter? Everyone understands that Obama is a bi-racial individual. If he identify himself as a black American, then that is how he identifies himself. He does not deny his origins to both races. He does not have a hang up about it? Why should you? Is this a troubling decision for you and your personal life?

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

        In all honesty people, isn't just about everyone of us in this country of mixed race, After all the majority of ther citizens in the United States are all immigrants at some time or another, except maybe the American Indian who was here originally. Lets forget the color of skin or is he half black or half white, he is the new President Elect and whether everyone approves of him or not, we all need to support him and trust him to make the right decisions.

      • Posted By: lizzard @ 11/06/2008 1:26:12 PM

        I AM NOT HUNG UP ABOUT THIS. I DON'T DOUBT THAT HE EMBRACES BOTH. I JUST THINK IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE MEDIA AND ARE SOCIETY SEE MIXED RACES. IT'S VERY INTERESTING. THANKS FOR YOU COMMENT.

    • Posted By: Sakmhaiel @ 11/06/2008 1:35:43 PM

      Lizzard: Go to the History books. There's a law, enacted in the 1600's that says: If you have 1/16th black blood, then you are Black, regardless of your skin color. This was enacted because so many Black women were being raped by their slave masters. This should explain why you have so many lite, bright, and near whites in America and throughout the world.

    • Posted By: mikeone1977 @ 11/06/2008 1:27:35 PM

      Izzard, Whites set up the rule for being Black, and we American have been abiding by those rules. I, too, am mixed, but referred to as Black. I have no problem with it. It's just that simple.

    • Posted By: BlackLikeMe @ 11/06/2008 1:13:21 PM

      Lizzard, if your mixed with african american blood in this society, you are african american. Obama is truly an african american male. I am a black woman who happens to live in america. My ancestors arent black at all. Yes its confusing so dont even waste your time trying to figure it all out. Society is screwed up enough.

    • Posted By: soburt @ 11/06/2008 1:02:49 PM

      b/c there's this crazy rule that i heard and it states that if there's 0.8% of black running though you then you are a black person. retarded, huh?

      • Posted By: RosaO @ 11/06/2008 1:12:21 PM

        uh, pretty sure that went out the door with slavery..... can we move on now?

    • Posted By: whatrutalknbout @ 11/06/2008 1:11:12 PM

      Obama has always Identified with being black regardless of his skin tone. I think very few people are of pure race anymore. He is the first black president because that is how he identifies himself. You can be the first hispanic woman or first white woman depending on how you identify yourself. I think Hispanic is no longer a racial identifier so much so as it is relates to ethnicity.

    • Posted By: Props2000 @ 11/06/2008 1:10:34 PM

      That's simply because you don't understand how white America has viewed anyone with just what they call 1% of anything other than white. You are considered as Hispanic in the nation by white people. That's the way this country looks at things. I too am mixed but am called black as if the rest of who I am doesn't matter. It's the same with Tiger Woods and any one. I'm surprised that you being in this country wasn't aware of this. As you notice President elect Obama clearly lets it be known his heritage and isn't ashamed of it. It's just the racist people in this country that has a problem and mostly whites that say anything with 1% other that white isn't white. They call it the 1% rule. Go look it up. Take care.

    the more I listen to main stream white america, the more I realize why blacks, even as under dogs butted heads with them, overtook them and beat them at all the games they choose to play as their favourites. The mainstream Republican americans are dunce. Listen to the comments that comes from them, further, their mind is loaded with malice, envy and stupidity. As a race, I am sure tha the intelligent among you, must be embarrassed everytime you open your mouth to speak. I and the world became most aware of the limitations of the REpublican whites just by their constant lies, obvious ignorance and given to nonsence and their very unenlightened views. Do they go to school or are they depending on the fact that America was once limited to white rule and so depended on being white, even if they were dunce. Didn't they say that Barbara Bush looked like a man horse at one point? Most of the women who made it to the white house as first ladies, were never pretty - Hilary can testify to that but better to be bright and accomplished than to be picked up off a bar stool as a no-brainer.

    The Real truth is>>>>>>>> Doesn't matter who is the new President or what Michelle Obama wears as a Dress!!! We ALL AMERICANS will have to work HARD NOW to build this country back ,since Bin Laden messed up in 2001 !!!! Bush tried to keep as safe and costed us TONS of money and but not not TONS of Lives !!!!! Remember that folks !!!! We should be greatfull to have the funds to keep the troops in Irak or otherswise, another terrorist attack could already had happened!!!! Who Knows???? PLease, just think about it ???? Now is time to used our military wisely based in the experiences we are having with the trooos in the middel east and from the "tragic surprise" from 9/11 2001 !!!! Obama will to try bring Peace ,but I honestly don't think , the MEAN BIn Laden wants to talk about Peace !!!! He will die to have his Head !!!! I just hope Obama and his family be Safe and I will pray for them and our country, because Obama has so much courage to do what he is doing !!!!! I did not voted for him but I guess God has a mission to Obama by giving him the most important position someone can HAVE !!! May GOD give him PROTECTION & WISDOM to make the best decisions in this time of TROUBLE!!!! God will protect him and US because otherwise God will not allowed him to become the new President of a rich nation as the U.S.A. I have Faith in God and In Obama !!!!! Michelle is a nice lady and she deserve all the respect we can give to any humam being.....regardless her dressing style !!!!!

    rofl give_me_a_break great response.

    I've been convinced for years now that the lunatic ravings of the right started with hate radio--Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News Network spewing self rightous rationalizations for hatred. If we could just get people to stop poisoning themselves daily with that crap they might see a dark veil lifting and realize that a whole world exists outside that dogma that is actually trying to build up instead of tear down.

    Go ahead, fire your employees, sink on down into your dark hole and stay their bitching at everyone until us Democrats with our glorious new leader, once again, fix this mess that arrogance, greed, corruption and non-stop scare tactics brought us. (You're welcome, btw.)

    I just wish there was a tiny planet we could send all the Republicans to so they could carry on their bright ideas. We'll check back in about 20 years. There'll probably be only about 5 of them left still trying to buy or blow each other up for more toys. Wheezing through the smog.

    Michelle rocks! I loved how they all matched.

      Evidently you aren't quite up on who's to blame for what. It was Bill Clinton that told Fanny Mae / Freddie Mac to lower their standards in allowing unqualified people to obtain loans. THAT's why we're in the shape we are today, plus Barnie Frank had a very, very close relationship with an officer of Fannie Mae. Why does everyone blame the Rep? Good luck to America

      • Posted By: weirdone469 @ 11/06/2008 1:44:39 PM

        Because they are to blame. They deregulated the banking industry. After the great depression regulations were put in place so that the banking industry would be kept separate from wall street and the rest of the economy so if bad things happened it wouldn't effect the rest of the economy. (and vise versa, so a stock market crash wouldn't crash the economy) By deregulating, it allowed banks to sell bundled mortgages as "safe" investments, when people started defaulting on their mortgages it effected wall street and because of that effected the entire world economy. Had the regulations been kept in place it would have only effected the banks that made bad loans, or perhaps they wouln't have made such bad loans because there was no other profit to be made.. Clinton might have pushed Freddie and Fannie Mac to ease credit requirements, but I don't think those mortgages are the ones that caused this. He left office 8 years ago and if it were those mortgages this would've happened a long time ago. This happened after the deregulation because banker/mortgage brokers saw an opportunity to make even more money!!! They figured they can get money up front (points), throughout the life of the loan (interest) and on the back end too by selling them as investments. Greed caused this problem. Not only the greed of the mortgage industry but also of the buyer. In generations passed people bought homes for their families to live in not as an investment. Now people were buying homes to make money. They gambled (by buying too much house) that house prices would continue to go up so that by the time their mortgage interest rate went up they would have enough equity in their home (just by owning it) that they would be able to refinance and/or sell for a profit. So no Bill Clinton did not cause this the republican greed did. And that is why the republicans are getting blamed.

    To the Stupid & Uneducated republican dummie below; chris5209@11/06/2008; Your're way off ; Bush screwed up this country; President-elect Obama wants to turn this country around not further our hellish bad times.....Bush is the one destroying & depleting our Military......Bush is raising taxes; Not putting pressure on corporate americas companies & CEO & letting the stock market run WILD. So, shut up & take the back seat. You have a new president; accept it or commit suicide....or leave America.....Bush is the cause of how you feel....not Obama.......
