Well, my "favorite" part was when he characterized those of us who don't support him as fearful and cynical. His minions trolling around cyberspace are doing the bidding of their master.

I'm sorry I didn't even see your post. I stayed up all night watching CNN. I did listen to Obama's speech and I didn't understand the "Our time has come" and I didn't understand the "movement" because I didn't even know there was a movement. I agree people want change but I thought the change meant that people were tired of Bush and Republicans. I think Obamas people are also kinda creepy. I was hoping the whole race issue would be gone with Obama but I think he clearly meant that its the Black mans rule now, which to me is not the real issues this country faces. I was very touched by Mike Huckabee's speech. I think he is really what this country needs, a man that came from nothing and knows what its like to be an average person in this country. To bad the young people are voting just because of gender/race. I have been a Democrat all my life but my God the choices are bad. EW
This is so ridiculous I don't even know where to start. When he said, "Our time is now", he did not mean "black people". I'm a white man, and when he said that, I felt a part of "Our". We, the people supporting him. I didn't vote for him for his race - I voted for the man.

Huckleberry - HA! This man is scary. Just what we need, a Baptist preacher in the Whitehouse trying to put his god in the constitution. America has had it with the evangelicals over the past 8 years and won't put one in office this time. Although I think Bush just used them for their votes. I think they're seeing the truth at this point and will stay home in November.

That's a smart thing to say, considering that our nation was founded on God.
Sorry, we're not staying home.
Why is Huckabee scary? He never said he was going to put his "god" in the constitution. Ultimately, God will put the person whom He wants in office anyway, Republican or Democrat.

That's certainly debatable. I think this country was founded on the principal of separation of church and state. A preacher in the Whitehouse crosses the line for me.

Which god though? Yours? Mine? The Catholic's? Huckleberry is scary because I think evangelicals and So. Baptists are scary. I don't agree with this brand of religion. No sense arguing it though. He doesn't stand a chance, luckily.

Nice try bu obama mother is a white woman. So why do you think he would put blacks ahead of whites. Must be a hillary supporter trying to inject race whatever chance you get. I notice hillary supporters love to point of blacks voting for him, or him as the black candidate. It isn't working hillary is losing among young whites, wealthy and upper middle class whites, and white men. Obama even got 45% of the woman vote. Hang it up hillary its over lousiana, maryland, nebraska, and washington state are up next. She won't win not one state i mention. She needs to just be vp and sit down somewhere.
