I am not going to voice any opinion about him untill I see what kind of job he will do.
as a senator he did poorly, I know.
I strongly disagree with many of his veiwpoints, true.
I was very outspoken against him when he was running.
But now that he will be our president, I say, good luck, and "God Bless America."
Thank you for thinking about this country first instead of party politics.

There's a very tough road ahead and this country needs to pull together to get out of this mess.

It is also smarter to wait until after the guy actually occupies the Oval Office to start ripping him apart.

He has proven himself to me as he begs congress for the bush bailout scraps but yet throws himself a big ghetto style party.

I guess Ignorance is bliss.
That big ghetto party that you speak of was full of people from every race, creed, state, sex etc.

It was wonderful!!!! Sorry you missed it.

You know this is ridiculous.

For the past 45 years this country has had a white President. We appreciate everything that these presidents have done for our country and blacks shared with everyone the hope that many of those presidents brought to the country.

Now that Obama has won, (and is of the younger generation, which looks to music as an outlet), blacks and whites are celebrating this moment which IS historic.

But yet many, can not get over the fact that blacks have a right to celebrate just like you have had your right to celebrate.

Your assumption that all the blacks and white are shuckin and jivin is an old insult. Embrace the change that is happening honey.

"If you only have love for your own race that leaves room to discriminate, and to discriminate only breeds hate, and when you hate your bound to get irrate, madness is what you demonstrate and thats exactly how anger works and operates, you got to have love to set it straight, and you can have one love, one heart."

Get over it dude.

Get over it dude.

Tell me about racism ma'am. Tell me about all the black folk that stood and cheered for O.J. just a short few years ago . Did not matter to them a spit that he had just cut a white womans head off. Whats some white woman doin with our great black hero right?
That's right tell me about racism. No problem you taking a walk late at night in a white man's neighborhood eh?
You are right though, it is time to put it all behind. Lets get started with you. Lets get started with giving Bush a break.

For eight long years the left lamblasted Bush like he was the moron from hell that stole the election and now ,-you -want- a -pass.
Let me ask you somethin lil miss straight up color blind. You ever see such a circus over the inauguration of a white man?

I don't care missy if the man is black ,blue or green. I'll give him his due and we shall see if my hand is held out for what he is going to give me. Don't get cute with me about racism lady.
BTW. I can't wait to hear Obama given me a rap like your last paracraph, sounds like rap, maybe crap, maybe you should take a nap, sit in yo mamas lap.
Fact is, if the man were white and everything else about him was exactly the same, I suspect you'd be takin a nap about now.
Fact is ,I personally have never been exited about a president, I haven't followed an inauguration and I don't intend to start with this one
and I don't intend to order a plate. Be proud, be loud, don't get lost in the crowd.

Love love me do.

Us is red, yellow, black, and white , within these borders that subscribe to the commonality of the essence of being an enculturated American. There may be slight cultural differences based upon our uncommon heritage. When it comes togeather we stand as Americans. NOt as euro-Americans, African-Americans,Japanese-Americans, German-Americans, et al, just good ole fashioned enculturated Americans. Everyone else is them and them is for us ,or them is against us. We will stand with them that is for us. Freedom for all, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not some distinction of constant one up manship that serves to constantly divide. Playing the downtrodden pretending to identify with the downtrodden. One is as phony as the other. Either you are or you are not. Color be damned.

Love love me do.
LOL...really, I laughed out loud. You compare the jubilation for a President to a man who may or may not have comitted murder? Apple and oranges sir.

And no, i don't think I have to tell you about racism. I've never experienced it first hand, and I'm sure if you wanted to come out of a bigoted comatose state that you would open a history book and read about it yourself. Aren't you Jewish? I find it funny that you find it befitting to bring stereotypes about blacks into this thread when you and I are hated by the KKK just the same

And Bush has done many things to warrant criticism, and I expect the same of Obama if he makes mistakes.(Criticism, that is)

And nope I haven't, well may be for Clinton. You see so much because this generation is into music, is into MSM, is into new things. Its called modern America.

Fact is, if this man where white and had the same energy behind him, the same things Obama has, I would be the first person to be behind him, why becasue i am a free thinking Democrat, that looks at the issues, contrary to your believe that blacks are one group of people. We have brains like you, and are able to use them, sir.

The quote is a rap. Maybe you can learn from it
If Rap is crap, so is country music.
