    Why so much about Obama's race? He's not truly an African American or a black man. Obama???s Mother was a white woman from Kansas. His father was a Kenyan who abandoned his family after only two years of marriage and returned to Africa. He was raised by his white mother and Grandmother in Hawaii. Obama, himself admits that his mother and grandmother were "the dominant figures in my formative years and where I developed my character and core values??? So any of you whites who are afraid of his color can relax knowing he's a bi-racial man, raided by whites, if that makes you feel better. He can't possibly do any more harm than Bush or screw us over any worse than Cheney did.

      I understand the spirit of your comment. BUT, technically, Obama is an African-American man. He was born in America. His father was African, which would make Obama a man born of African descent. Hence the term "African-American".

    It is all true and you all know it. The truth is in the cities. Look around. They don't like to work and they want everything for free. This may be a general statement. But, for the most part it is absolutely true. Very few black children see their fathers. It is always the their mother or "Aunt". Let's be real. You all see this. You just are in denial

  • Posted By: MCortinas @ 11/07/2008 11:39:10 AM

    Again, what's your point? Where is your father? How is it possible that you can say that balcks are the only ones who don't see their fathers? You know what it's pointless to go back and forth with you. You don't get it!

  • Posted By: nel_mesel @ 11/07/2008 11:39:07 AM

    I always find hilarious irony in the fact that racist whites like mycle39 (below) eternally criticize the abilities of the black community, yet they can't even spell words like "doesn't"...

    CONGRATULATIONS TO BARACK AND HIS FAMILY. ALL HATERS OF BLACK PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICA DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM ONLY. BLACK PEOPLE HAVE WORKED THEIR A## OFF TO MAKE AMERICA WHAT IT IS NOW. SO STOP HATING. WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE BARACK. WE LOVE YOU!!!

    • Posted By: 922cmarsh @ 11/06/2008 6:20:26 PM

      Yep...worked their tails off collecting that check. Waiting for that tank of gas and free mortgage once their homey Barack gets in office.

      • Posted By: lejuantyler @ 11/07/2008 11:32:01 AM

        please research who is actually on welfare and who is not. yes there are african americans that recieve help from the government, but we are not the only ones. if you check, i guarantee you that all races are represented there and some have a higher percentage than african americans. The welfare system was not created for us. we live in projects, but others live in trailer parks, cramed up in small one bedroom apartments on the streets and anywhere else they can find shelter. This economy hit all americans. All races lost homes, retirement plans, stocks and bonds. The high gas prices hit us all, every race was looking for some help to combat those prices. every race of people are revising their grocery lists when they shop and clipping more coupons than ever before. it is a shame for any race to put down another race no matter which race it is. just because i am african american does not mean i am better than anyone and it does not make me inferior to anyone as well. i am who i am. No one can stop my growth but me. my son will grow up and be successful and contribute to making this country the best it can be despite all of the negative people who wants to stay stagnant.

    Everybody needs to just shut up with the blaming, racism, condescending bad jokes and be grateful for fresh air and the job that they have now. If you hate the way politics are run. maybe you "the complainer" needs to run for public office and see how people turn on you and srutinize your children and family. See how it feels, and I guarantee you will have a change of heart when it comes to preconceived biases. KNOWLEDGE IS POWERFUL. IT'S OBVIOUS BECAUSE WE HAVE A RHODES SCHOLAR IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY. SO SHUT THE BLANK UP AND GET BACK TO WORK...YOUR BOSS IS WATCHING.

      Ha Ha HA HA HAHA HA HA Ha Ha Ha Ha .....U soooooooo funnee.....

      Keep your day job (before you lose it to Nobama's tax codes)
      I see you are oh so proud you finally got a black man in the White House.......with no clue obviously what he believes, who mentored him,how radical his philosophies and friends are, but none of that matters to you, DOES IT?

      All you see is you got a black man in the white house......
      If you voted for Nobama because he's "black" YOU are a RACIST plain and simple.
      Besides, you stupid MF's just don't seem to get the fact that he is a lot more ARAB than anything else.
      I have more Cherokee in my blood than Nobama has African in his.... Twice as much....

      But I will just go on and state the obvious (not so obvious to you Nobamatons out there)....

      WAIT 'TILL YOU SEE WHAT YOU REALLY VOTED FOR

      FOOLS!

    No mycle39, again learned behavior. You got this from your parents. ALL blacks again are not looking for handouts. what do you supposed all other races are looking for that are on welfare? hell you might be looking for a handout or currently getting it now. You were taught this all your life and you can't help it. Shame on you! Get help and go quickly

      • Posted By: Scorpio137 @ 11/06/2008 6:45:45 PM

        The Obama HOME is there - so YES. They have a right to have their family there, and that includes mothers. They have a right to run their home as they wish as well!! There is NO relationship as close as a child and her mother. Michelle is her mother's daughter.

        • Posted By: 922cmarsh @ 11/06/2008 6:49:20 PM

          Great...they need to rent her an apt. I don't want to subsidize the terrorist Obama family. What a joke.

          • Posted By: lejuantyler @ 11/07/2008 11:20:11 AM

            What evidence do you have of him being a terrorist? Are you that simple that you will believe anything that small minded people say about people. That type of stupidity is what caused your candidate to lose this election. His parents named him. he didn't turn 18 and change his name. if you took the race card from all of the candidates and looked at the facts about the candidates. what they stand for and against, what policies do they believe in, what change they will try to bring about the outcome would have been the same. Americans are tired of the same old mess. It's not a wise choice to stay in the same place level of maturity. One would grow old and bitter, and hatred would accumulate in their hearts. I pray for the Obamas and Bidens now more than ever because of people who believe the same way you do.

      • Posted By: lejuantyler @ 11/07/2008 11:11:05 AM

        Come on let's be realistic. With the hectic schedule's the Obamas' are going to incur, they will have to have someone their to watch their children while they are away. i wouldn't want some stranger coming in taking care of my children if my mother was able to take care of them in my abscence. No matter what you say, how horrible your comments are....the bottom line is that They are the new first family. The Pres.-Elect Obama and his beautiful family will grace the White House and there is nothing you can do about it.

      • Posted By: Kboogie @ 11/06/2008 9:31:39 PM

        I'm sure she'll work it off. She'll watch the grand-daughters when the Obama's are out legislating policy.

      • Posted By: carlyboo @ 11/06/2008 7:16:15 PM

    I am a Republican. However, after reading the comments that have been posted on this site, I am almost embarassed to admit it. I didn't support Mr. Obama because I had and still have some serious concerns. Valid concerns. Not just hideous, vile, personal opinion. Please know that there are many fine, upstanding and God-fearing Republicans that would never, ever consider speaking to anyone or about anyone in such a manner. I wouldn't make these types of comments about my worst enemy. What happened to basic human respect? I am absolutely appalled. I pray that Mr. Obama is going to do a fine job and I will support him in doing that job because I am a proud american and he is our new president.

    So, I would like to apologize to Obama supporters who have been harangued by these horrible people. They do not respresent the majority of Republicans. I even read one that said Mrs. Obama was trash. Based on what? How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak about someone you don't even know in such a disrespectful, vile manner? Is this what your parents taught you? Is this hatred what you are teaching your children? Can you not have a debate based on the issues? Yes, being an American gives us the right of free speech. Unfortunately, it doesn't give us class to go along with it. I am ashamed of all of you.

      Fair enough. Disagreement - and the right to disagree - is one of the greatest things about this country, and one of the things that makes us as strong as we are.

      "Please know that there are many fine, upstanding and God-fearing Republicans that would never, ever consider speaking to anyone or about anyone in such a manner."

You are typical of the whining, sniveling, and sore losing mentality that we saw openly at McCain's concession speech where many booed whenever President elect Barack Obama's name was mentioned. Who ever took the job of President this time was going to have a tough road ahead of them. Barack is obviously going to have a tough go of it. What we need to do is unite as AMERICANS and get behind him. It is the right thing to do and what every American should do. Racist, biggoted remarks like yours are counterproductive and show truely what an imbicile you really are. Bobbmoe

      You are absolutely right. Liberals have torn down Bush's POLICIES for 8 years...not his race, nor his family.

      There has been plenty of ammo to go after Mrs Bush (her abortion, and her killing of a fellow student in a drunk driving accident). And we could've gone after the Bush twins during their infamous "drunken whore" phase.

      BUT, liberals only attacked policy.

      For you to continue to attack the Obama's family and RACE.....well, you have to admit is animalistic in nature.

    After reading the comments posted on this site for several minutes, I have a couple of observations. The first is that there is a small percentage of ignorant and verbally abusive people who have managed to distract us from the real issue, which is whether M. Obama will make a good first lady. Divisive tactics such as these were used during the campaign to keep us from concentrating on the true problems faced by our nation. My second thought is that by acknowledging these hateful comments we are giving these angry and mean-spirited people exactly what they want. Maybe we should ignore them and enjoy talking about our new first lady. Having said that, I would like to say that I believe M. Obama will make an excellent first lady.

    • Posted By: 922cmarsh @ 11/06/2008 7:28:17 PM

      OK, if this is what you are looking for...no she will not be a First Lady. First of all you have to be a lady. She has no social graces, class, etc. She was only recently proud of her country for the first time. My two daughters will not be looking up to this piece of trash.

      I agree. She is smart, talented, wise, devoted to her husband and children and the heartbeat of her home. She is civic-minded, compassionate and creative, honest and unpretentious. She is positive and visionary. I don't know when we have had another first lady who embodies ALL of these qualities at once, although we have had some wonderful first ladies.

We the American People have overwhelmingly made our choice for President Obama. We welcome the new First Lady with open arms. Republicans and their supporters have become deservedly irrelevant.

      Not all of us Republicans are like that. Just the really, sad, sorry ones. While I am a Republican, kindly don't group me with those that make disgusting comments that pretend to be political. There are many of us who have accepted defeat and fully intend to support our president-elect, simply because we are Americans and it is the right thing to do.

      • Posted By: Doc Howl @ 11/07/2008 10:36:24 AM

        Not at all. The hatred and bigotry here aren't a republican thing, so much as a inbred redneck thing. I don't hold you accountable for the spewings of the 3-4 racists in this thread.

        Problem is, the few that really are that way are so vocal with their backward crap that they paint the republican base that way. That's one of the things that the GOP is going to have do deal with in their upcoming years in the wilderness.

        Thank you for reminding us that we shouldn't make assumptions about people. Thank you for your grace and patriotism.
