How do you know this is what he''ll do when he''s in office? What makes you so sure? And even IF Obama does all those things, he STILL wouldn''t be HALF as bad as Bush!! Instead of being such a debbie downer, why don''t you do your part in helping to make the country a better place? The bitter comments need to stop... - Reply to this comment
- I am wondering if a white mother and a black father or vice versa make a person black. I think they are mulatto, or mixed race. Or was his mother white? He never showed his birth certificate. I think that America has been duped.

- Am I wrong? I thought he was born of a white mother and black father? Where does that make him a black man? I think he would be mulatto, or is his mother white? He never showed his birth certificate to my knowledge. He was born Muslim, therefore he is Muslim, they don''t "quit" their religion, they die for it. Wonder how he is going to take the oath with the American Flag behind him and his hand on our Bible.

Can ANY Muslim here confirm if Muslims beleive they are descended from Adam, Noah, and Abraham through Hagar and their son Ishmael? - Reply to this comment
- I was Wrong. I read your post and welled up because I am so glad I was wrong. I think that''''s why Powell, and Oprah, and Jesse Jackson and so many other blacks cried Tuesday night. We realize we were wrong and we unfairly thought whites would put color first and not country first.

We''ve been there and done that. It''s time to get past rev wright, the bitter comment, Ayers, and whatever else you want to rehash from the primary and general election.
Obama won, the country rejected all those criticisms, it''s time to move on already. - Reply to this comment
- I wonder what happens when Obama tells blacks to get jobs and be responsible for the children they have? THAT should really be interesting.

Interesting you should mention that. He already did in Georgia. Hypocritical of a liberal to ''''talk down'''' to blacks just like Jesse Jackson said. I''m black, and it was one of the main reasons I DIDN''T vote for him.

So when he said get a job you didn''''t like it because he was degrading you?

I''m with TiredoftheBS. I knew long before that I would most likely NOT be voting for Obama. Those remarks from him just sealed the deal for me. That was entirely condescending thing for him to say. And, to those enquiring minds who want to know... I have a job... a good one and I''ve had it for many years. My children are married and stable and my husband is a pastor. All black people are not riding the welfare rolls and neither are all black people "buying into" (terminology I''ve heard from some reporters since the "big day") what Obama had to say. - Reply to this comment
- racrand....I''d like to say to you and all Whites in particular who voted for Obama, Thank You!
I am a 35 yo black man who lives in the south. I never thought Whites would vote for a Black candidate for president, and not just black. I didn''t think any woman or minority of any color would ever get whites to vote for him or her.
I was Wrong. I read your post and welled up because I am so glad I was wrong. I think that''s why Powell, and Oprah, and Jesse Jackson and so many other blacks cried Tuesday night. We realize we were wrong and we unfairly thought whites would put color first and not country first.
This changes our entire way of thinking. We can no longer use the crutch of racism as reason why we have not progressed further in this great nation.
I guess what I''m trying to say is Thank You! - Reply to this comment
