Now for the Governing

jey54 in Michigan: Come on people, get it together. Quit worrying if this is about white or black. This country has been in real trouble since we stopped being "one country under God". We finally have an opportunity to exorcise the past ... let's do it together ... under the auspices of the Almighty.

When is the press going to tell the truth about Obama's race. he is biracial which means he is not white and he is not black, he is, according to the science community, half balck and half white, biracial..

Can we work a slither of truth into the mix? Obama is biracial, whcih, in the science community, means that he is not black, he is not white, he is half white and half black.. The press needs to tell American this becasue they have no capacity to think for themselves.

I will never back Mr. Obama on raising taxes or cutting our military . If he refuses to put his hand on the Holy Bible he doesn't deserve the respect of our Christian community. Don't let the Bush's tax cut expire, my family has a hard enough time making it.

protacal you need to grow up. its over get on line and let's all follow the leader and work together. you must be republican. aren't wondering why they lost a lot of seat, its because of obama's ability to influence people. we need change and sure your a*** need some change too. the American people have spoken and just shut up and let figure out how to fix the problem we have now.

raven are you referring to the economy i can fix that dont by a home if you dont have a job

Hi,This is Mrs.Ilene Barton . I'm from New Orleans ,Louisiana we 're all proud of what you have become. As proud Americans voters we horner you and welcome you to visit our home city New Orleans La.

what is unfair is your assumption that if a person disagrees with him they are racial. politics is like running a business you need experience good financial skills ,exceptional diplomatic skills you cannot and should not be wet behind the ears. this election became about peoples perception of righting some type of wrong or an injustice, it became about skin tone sexism and creating a new camelot this is rediculos commentors keep saying history was made it sure was but not in a positive . I love this country but iam ashamed at this point.

hey oak where do u think the money comes from do u think the white house has a money tree that u shake and the money falls out. we have been taping in to social security for years. please educate yourselves before commenting

Well, the cruel, evil Repubs aren't done with Obama yet. The latest rumor they've started (ever notice how they always whisper?) is that he'll take everyone's Social Security, IRAs, etc., and put them all in one big fund to pay everyone equally. Is this nuts? Repubs, you lost because of craziness like this. Nobody in his or her right mind believes Obama is a Marxist, socialist, terrorist. Get a life.

P.S you spell CONSTITUTION like this you do represent the youth best

hey jhold can u tell me what multi tasking obama did as a senator that sold u? do you work or go to school?

"Right now Obama is The One. Baby-boomer types exorcise the demons of the '60s by praising him; Gen X and Gen Y types love him for his youth (he isn't quite as young as he seems to be, by the way) and his cool, lanky multiculturalism. A lot of this is going to burn off like liqueur on a flambé. Real lefties will discover, if they don't already know, that Obama is a more cautious and establishment-oriented figure than they thought or hoped; the African-American community will find out that he doesn't navigate solely by their star"

If i've ever seen a pesimestic view, this is probably one of them. People don't give, us, youth enough credit. They think that we vote soley on age or single policies but I as a young voter didn't vote soley on one policy, on skin color, on age or even just to be a part of making history. I voted, keeping in mind the economy and our futures as well as the not yet eligible voters futures. I voted for the, "best candidate," someone who can mutitask well and represent our country and our views the best, someone that will take a stand and uphold the constution and all that we as the united states stand for. We represent hope not only for our country but for many other countries. Republican or democrat, rich or poor, black or white...it doesn't matter to us, its about our futures! Stop putting us in a box, stop telling us what we stand for and why we vote, We are a smart youth, we are a generation that isn't going to sit back and watch the world pass us by. We have dreams and aspirations and nothing will stand in our way to fulfilling those.

I think President Obama will face these challenges and do very well. If he uses common sense and knows that "A president does not a government make", he will excel. A few things need to change: Stop refering to him as "African-American". The President of the US should be first and Only American. Second, Affirmative Action can now go away. His election proves its not necessary anymore. Congratulations to the country for being colorblind.
