NOBAMA.

Obama is stupid.

Everyone just likes him because he is young and "black".

I dont know why people say he is our first black president.

1. HE ISNT EVEN FULLY BLACK, he is half black.

2. There have been other "black" presidents such as

Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge

All five of these presidents never acknowledged their black ancestry.

So there is NO NEED to go around saying "OBAMA MADE HISTORY, WE ARE ALL APART OF HISTORY" because we are not.

The only history we are apart of is elected the WORST president the United States will ever see.

SO we should all say GOODBYE to a great life.

victoria of nv = sara palin

ok 1st of all you need to learn how to spell. 2nd of all, the question of whether or not she would hire a black person to her cabinet, none applied. once all black people heard obama was running for president you all jumped on his band wagon. it does not matter to any of you whether he is or is not qualified, all that you care about is the fact that he is 1/2 black. i do in fact believe that, not his skin color but his socialist beliefs will not be the best for our country. but the next 4 or 8 years will prove me right or wrong. but when all you black people out there who think you will have a free ride now and get everything handed to you (you know more welfare for your 10 fatherless kids) when things do not go your way and you are made to work for what you can have, then you will say he isn't black enough, or the white man won't let him be the way he wants to be.

Joe the Unlicensed Plumber

The man sought his fifteen minutes of fame by giving interviews to every camera that was pointed at him and then complained about being scrutinized by the media.

He then went on a campaign tour for McCain and stupidly agreed with someone in the crowd that if Obama won, it would mean the death of Israel, when Obama previously stated that he strongly supports Israel.

Sarah Palin

At least she has four more years to learn about foreign policy by looking at Russia from her backyard.

Sarah P.

And another thing, Sarah P not only do not want to hire Blacks on her team, she would not even take the time to attend last year's Juneteenth celebration in Alaska. Every other Governro attended. But like I said, she will get hers, because ironicaly she lost the VP gig to a Black Man. And I wonder why was she so angry that a black woman OPRAH would not invite her on her black show?

Sarah P.

Now that she has lost the election, she can go back home to Alaska. They will find out about her sooner or later. I am appalled by the way she treats African Americans in Alaska. When asked why she never hired any african americans on her team, her response was because she didn't have to and she had no intentions of. Well, God (she so vehemently talks about God) works in mysterious ways, doesn't he? She lost the election to an African American. She is a tacky woman that needs to go to charm school to learn how to be a lady. She needs to stay home and watch her impressionable daughters and try to get someone to teach them how to be ladies. If she was at home with her daughters, she would not have goten pregnant. If she taught her daughters that boys willsay anything to get what they want and then talk about you, her daughter would not have two babies at such a young age. She is truly an idiot

Sarah Palin

I am totally dismayed why the Republican party picked Gov Palin. There are too many questions. The keeping of her pregancy secret for until after her seventh month. That she travel from Texas to Alaska and drove home after her water had broke. Her character, sleeping with her husbands best friend, the road to no where, her response to redoing her office while mayor, not getting council approval, it is clear that she was not the right choice. Which goes to show McCain lack of leadership skilla and overall leadership. Being a Prison of War does not give you the right to use this as qualification for the Highest Office in the World. Sarah Palin ought not to ever come back into the national spot light with the baggage that she brings.

Palin is Strong

Stop your political bickering and give it a rest already. Palin is a women of integrity, strentgh, and charm, and yet the (liberal) media has been attacking her EVERY LITTLE MOVE!!! Tarnishing her repuation, streaming into your heads with negative images of her, it's just so stupid! Palin is also educated, not 'stupid' as most of you say, just unfamiliar with Washington and the press talks and the debates, etc. Sure she had her gimmicks, but give her a second chance at Wqashington and I'm sure she'll do better. She is pro-life, has executive experience, and relatively good ratings (unlike a certin Democraptastic Illinois governor I know...). Instead of hopping the "I-hate-Sarah-Bandwagon", be true (granted you actually LIKE Palin) to yourself. I have one more note- don't forget she was cleared off of her charge of abuse of power.

reply

Obama is an educated, outstanding man of character and integrity who is a transformational leader that has unified this country as opposed to Palin, who not only is unqualified to lead a country but has exuded such negativity and divisive political tactics during the campaign. It is Bush's failed policies that have led this country astray, so President Obama will not doubt do an outstanding job during his term/terms as President.
