Barack Obama is Coming to Macon! (Atlanta, Columbus: crime, lawyers, neighborhood)

[Peelo]

Limaro....You will be getting a HUGE wakeup call coming to Macon...LOL

M.O.M.....Wonderful display of judging and "thinking more highly of yourself than you ought" (that came from a book you supposedly live by-I`m glad you can toot your own horn though!!LOL) You are a prime example of why I dont go to church...Hypocrite...But hey, thats cool with me. If going to church makes you feel more "christ-like" (which is the definition of "Christian") then more power to you. But I must tell you, I believe there is a verse thats states something along the lines of your mouth tells of your love for God but your heart is far from him......LOL.....Wow..Kinda hard looking in the mirror huh?

And before you come back with some ignorant crap (as usual), I never said I was a Christian, so to throw that "you dont act like one either" doesnt apply here...LOL

Here are the first set of images, I had to different cameras in place at the ceremony, the press also got to go places members and visitors couldnt, i'll remember next time to get a press pass. However these are the first set of images. Images are taken by multiple cameras in many different locations, several of my cameras are alternating positions throught Barack Obama's time at Harvest Cathedral. One image is of what seemed to be the Chief Secret Service Person for this event, I dont know if thats her title, but she was directing people, secret service agents, and local officials.

Believe me Peelo, my eyes are wide open. Unfortunately, I am becoming more and more discouraged with what I am seeing. I have no choice but to relocate to your area. I am coming from Oklahoma, not exactly known for it's open mindedness, but at least Okies (from what I have seen) aren't completely ignorant. I know that in other posts I have indicated a desire for good schools and family values. In my vocabulary family values does not necessarily translate to christian views, though I am not opposed to religion. I want variety and acceptance, and, above all, intelligence. Where, in your little corner of the world, will I be able to find young professionals without a cross to bear (proverbial or otherwise). I was born and raised in the south, I know what I experienced, and I DO NOT want that for my kids. So, my task to you all.... where will my child be least likely to be told that she is going to hell if not in church every sunday, Least likely to see a rebel flag flying on every corner, least likely to hear the N word or any other slanderous term used by bigots to beat people down based on gender, race, or sexuality, and least likely to be a victim or random violence. Does such a place exist?

[Peelo]

I think you will see SOME of that everywhere.

I do business primarily in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina and I see some of that in all those places.

These second set of images are here. These set of images are pretty good, I think its the difference in the camera. The first set of images were taken by a Polaroid Digital Camera, and these images were taken by a snapshot Polaroid Camera. Enjoy, the video will be added later today, I myself personally dont like the quality of it, it was taken using the same Polaroid Digital Camera, however I hope you enjoy that as well. I will review over all of my cameras and the processed film to see if I left out any great images. Those images will be placed on this thread at a later date, possibly tomorrow.

Have you considered uploading the video to a site like Youtube? Not only is the size limit exponentially larger, but more people would have the opportunity to view it.

Obama will do well in black belt states like Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisiana.. but will have a hard time in most of the other statesd where the black vote is not as significant.. but hey I guess you guys in Macon will get to see Usher, Chris Rock, and Dave Chapelle.

- What about Iowa? In a state that is 91% white, they voted for Obama.
- In South Carolina the white vote was pretty much split in three ways.
- Republicans are also supporting Obama
- AND Caroline Kennedy has endorsed him and Ted Kennedy is expected to announce his endorsement soon.

Maybe you have let yourself become buried in cynicism and vaguely racist remarks but you should not be attempting to pull that stunt on anyone else. As Obama himself said, this is not the red or blue, white or black America, this is the United States of America. Nothing more, nothing less.

That sounds good but it just isnt true.

Blacks themselves draw the race lines in voting...especially in Macon. And anyone can twist that anyway you want, but its not a racist comment...just the truth.

Obama is quickly becoming another Jesse Jackson.. though he isn't as polarizing as Jackson and he doesn't rhyme his sentences.. his campaign is starting look more and more like Jackson's 84 and 88 bids.
At the beginning Obama was more appealing to white voters.. but now he is becoming more the candidate of "Black America"
His win in SC was not a surprise.. Jackson won it in 84 and 88.. actually Jackson won 11 states in 88.. I actually believe Obama may not end up doing as well as Jackson did.
And making his first stop in Macon only helps solidify the view that Obama is the "Black" candidate. Why not stop in suburban Gwinnett County or mostly white Rabun County in North Georgia.. he seems to be taking the same approach in GA as he did in SC.. concentrate in areas with heavy concentrations of black voters.. places like Macon.
Obama needs to widen his appeal among whites.. and constantly playing to largely black crowds at predominately black mega churches isn't going to do that.
