Barack Obama has taken lead in the Iowa polls beating out John Edwards by four points and sh*tting on Hilary Clinton by seven. Even little old white ladies in the Midwest recognize that he’s the best man for the job. This is just a preview of more to come.

    I hope he wins the democratic nomination!

  • Lip Chap aka Fuzzy

    Whomever the new Pres is I just hope that pull our Men and Women out of this stupid and ridiculous war!

  • zeta

    yeah.cause god knows we can’t depend on our own to get the job done.

  • cliff

    ALWAYS BET ON BLACK

    OBAMA 08, OH PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

  • cliff

    the ticket is gonna b obama/edwards. hilary will make a nice secretary of state. howard dean would make a good advisor.

    dems win, rednecks lose

  • Momo

    KICK ROCKS, HILARY!

  • Bones Jordan

    I wish he would win……. that would be the greatest act of Karma in the history of the world…..IMHO.

  • OUTRAGED

    We don’t need no jiggaboo in the White House. It’ll be a disaster!

  • imrightdammit

    Just some food for thought. Previous Iowa Caucus winners: Tom Harkin, Richard Gephardt, John Kerry, Edward Muskie. Yeah. My point exactly.

  • weezy

    I wouldn’t be shocked if those WP say one thing in the polls and vote for Billary. I am for Obama but I am suspicious of why WP are supportive of him when a lot of them don’t even want to live next door to us.

  • Amani

    New things and new beginnings in 08 congrats.

  • imrightdammit

    And the Iowa caucus is not people going to the polls and voting. There is a small group of people that form “preference groups” and they stand in those groups. There is also an undecided group, and then they have like, an hour, to try to convince the people in the other group to join their group. Then they assign delegates, and the process is not at all like opening a voting booth and letting people cast a ballot. Iowa voters are not indicative of the American public.

    But all that being said, you gotta like any measure of success for a Black man. Still not sure I would vote for him, but there’s still time.

  • DeeDeeBaby

    There are like another 3 hours before the caucuses close. We’ll see.

  • http://lavatory Lav Lady

    Weezy, weezy, weezy….all white people are not the same. Just like all of us are not the same. I happen to know some white people who seem truly color-blind and since I was raised to always be suspicious (for good reason), it always blindsides me when I meet people who do not see color (can you say run-on sentence). Unfortunately, everyone is not made that way including us.

    That’s right Obama! Do ya thang Boy!!!!! lol

  • N-Quizzy (N- Qui-Sa-Tive)

    Yeah!

  • Lite&Sweet

    OBAMA/EDWARDS 08

    Wouldnt that be amazing? and Black folks would finally, finally have to admit that they CAN achieve great things in this world and stop wallowing in self pity and mediocrity.

  • Kompton’sKutie

    YEA! OBAMA 08′ Yes Sir!

  • Momo

    When he is president, I would like for him to ban all coon material from TV and radio. Flavor of Love, Superman that Hoe, and whatever Tracey Edmonds is working on.

  • Lite&Sweet

    And conservatives are in a quandry about how to sling mud at the guy without sounding like out and out racists. They would rather see Hillary win. The party can rally around a “beat Bill” battle cry but the first person to say something about Obama being black is gonna feel that IMUS wrath.

  • STFU

    It’s way too early to call it, but I have been riding for Obama since his convention speech in ’04. I wish him best of luck tonight!

  • DM

    I like that Cliff. The Barack/Edwards ticket w/ Hillary taking Condi’s job. Good casting.

  • Lite&Sweet

    @ Bones Jordan…

    Im saying…wouldnt it though? From slavery to Presidency. Wow.

  • TT

    I’m definately no little ‘ol white lady but I represent Iowa to the fullest..cornfed and all..

    ..obama in’08 fur shure..we’re gunna git-r-done..haha

  • Nita

    Oh my god. I’m in shock. Obama actually won. OBAMA ACTUALLY WON. Oh praise jesus. He actually won. I am in shock. Maybe the country really is ready. Oh my god. This is historic.

    Obama has to really, really watch his back now. Somebody is going to try to do more than just do what those newspapers tried to do to Will Smith two weeks ago, with outright lies and innuendo. They’ve already done that to Obama, and he weathered it. I hope the Secret Service does their job properly.

  • Lite&Sweet

    @ Nita

    ~yeah, we dont want another JFK. Cant you see Obama, his wife Michelle and the two girls on the White House lawn waving? wow.wow..wow…

  • Lite&Sweet

    @ TXBred…

    ok, “OWN” is kinda strong but Im saying..they arent fudging the numbers going in. The pundits started calling it last night. They said Hillary is fading. Edwards doesnt have the money to push through….

    I dont think anyone who is caucusing tonite is gonna stay home. We are on the brink of history here…

  • ms.kelly

    Oh and subtract the number of white people who say they will vote for Obama and actually won’t because they want to believe they are “progressive” or the number of black people who aren’t even registered to vote-couldn’t tell you what a precinct, district ,polling location, or VBM voters are…

    @ Nita

    ~yeah, we dont want another JFK. Cant you see Obama, his wife Michelle and the two girls on the White House lawn waving? wow.wow..wow…

    ——————

    Every day, girl. Every day. Michelle would be an awesome first lady. Beauty and Brains. The girls would be true little innocent beauties. No drugs, or alcohol or sex with boys in the White House. And Obama would be presidential. I don’t think you’d ever see Obama eating cake and listening to guitar for days while one of America’s greatest cities drowned.

    We’ll see, though. I can see Edwards as president, too, mind. It’s just that that’s more of the same. I’d prefer to see him as Attorney General as folks are dreaming about. Biden, nice but more of the same as we’ve always had. Richardson, I can’t see him in the White House. The Clintons, Bill bringing more hoes into the White House and Hillary bringing more Chinese with big money into the Lincoln bedroom. I’d prefer not to think about that.

  • Lite&Sweet

    @ms kelly

    I was watching CNN last night and dang near E’errrry body in the audience was white folks and he keeps big audiences like that consistently. Iowa aint Michigan so what we are looking at is WHITE AMERICA getting behind this man. I understand the hesitance to believe it…deep down its like ‘God for real? naw…for REAL? naw…REALLY?!’

    @ Bones Jordan…

    Im saying…wouldnt it though? From slavery to Presidency. Wow.

    Ain’t nothing BUT GOD. Once illegal to teach a black person to read and now running for president. Even if he doesn’t win he is definitely paving the path for someone else to come.

    I would love to see him president. Then the world is in for some big changes.

    All you need to know is Hilary’s the idiot, Edwards is the one that’s easy to forget, and Obama is THE TRUTH! OBAMA 08!

    That would be tight huh…Edwards as AG. I would say Biden for VP but I dont think he respects Obama. Its a trip to me because 2 years ago I would have LOVED to have BILL back in the White House…now its like..a’ight something new. The charm has wore off. Hillary is just what conservatives want anyway. She’s divisive as h*ll and they’ll pull confederate grannies off the deathbead to go vote against her. No thanks.

    People Obama’s presence alone is NEEDED for all the children coming up, all races, cultures, Republican and Democrat! Keep on keeping on! Harriet Tubman is singing from the Heavens! Frederick Douglas is smiling down on us! Malcolm did not die in vain!Excuse me Hillary, Obama has MORE than experience, he has a legacy! This is history folks. In our lifetimes.

  • Kurt Eric Munroe

    @WEEZY, you are correct. People sometimes fail to match their “support” with actual votes. Just like politicians who fail to keep campaign pledges. It is a dirty business.

    Someone mentioned a possible Obama/Edwards ticket. That sounds very good to me. That sounds real good.

    I know you right! IN THE MAKING…its right there….to tear down the barrier once and for all…

  • Me

    Lav Lady…very true. I am black and have lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa all my life. I too am suspicious of white people, considering where I am at. You would probably be shocked to know that I have not had a racial encounter the whole 24 years I have been here, and I definately don’t downplay the fact that I am proud African American woman. CR is not a town, but a city. The people here are ready for change, and they are not looking at color, but the person who is the best candidate for the job. The Obama 08 headquarters location was selected by a black man and placed in the heart of the hood (Yes, we have one) and that place stays jumping with white people. I’m sure the last thing on their minds is it’s in the ghetto. Obama has that spark. He draws crowds where ever he goes. Even before he brought Oprah here, he still could bring in the masses. Give the man a chance. Listen to what he has to say and make your opinion based on that, rather than he’s black, so white people won’t vote him in or he’s black and we don’t need a n*gga in the White House. 2008 is a year for change and a chance for history to be made. Don’t miss out due to ignorance. For accurate Iowa Caucus Info, go to http://www.crgazette.com

    @RUN-FORREST

    If Obama wins, let’s just hope that they don’t try to lay him down(kill him)because he’s black man running the country.

    ______________________

    tru dat….give that man the deepest Secret Service they GOT, because some wackjob is going to think he was born to take OBAMA out…

  • IleDeJatte

    Obamaaaaaa

  • Lite&Sweet

    @ Nita…

    Thats true. They CANT go at his race so they are going to hit him on Immigration and Borders. I was listening today and they are gearing up. They’ve tried to make him a non-issue thus far but they cant ignore him now. You’re right…he’s got to win first. Lets hope History is made tonite.

  • Kurt Eric Munroe

    DAPHNEYVETTE speaks the truth. Race is a factor in many aspects of our lives. Especially in politics. Maybe some people wish to talk about the demographic. Perhaps others prefer to keep it low, but that doesn’t change the fact.

    What matters most, as Daphneyvette properly spelled out, is how the individual honorably works his/her plan. Obama is doing it right – on pure intellect. We have already seen Hillary play the gender card and it back-fired.

    ———————————–

    So that’s how it works? Thank you for the knowledge. I don’t know how it works. How do folks get to be caucus members?

  • Me

    You don’t have to be a member of anything, Nita, you just go. The caucuses are held at places around the community. Mine will be held at a Senior citizens facility.

  • Lost Skeleton

    Not so fast my friend. I love O and I wish him the nomination but O is relying on a lot of first time caucus goers. The polls dealing just with likely caucus attendees puts it closer than that. That said, I think he is in a very good position.

  • lovely and amazing

    Republicans are in a quandry because they like Obama too and they are worried that there is going to be a lot of secret voting for Obama from Republicans. An older conservative Republican caller from IOWA called into Rush Limbaugh and the caller was going on and on in praise of Obama and Rush Limbaugh didn’t shut him down and criticized Hillary on her “Obama has no experience” crap. Listen Obama is running as a Democrat but he is the NEW party! You’ll see, Republicans and Democrats are going to make him our President! And I bet Mrs. Obama could take Hillary’s senate seat if she wanted to also!

  • MiStYbLuE

    IF HILLARY GETS IN, SHE WILL HAVE PULLED A “W” HER POLITICAL TACTICS HAVE BEEN SNEAKY & UNDERHANDED AND I THINK THAT SAYS ALOT ABOUT HER CHARACTER. FROM GOING OUT OF HER WAY TO SLING MUD @ OBAMA THEN HIDE HER HANDS, TO PLANTING PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE “SCRPITED” ANSWERS WHEN SHE DOESNT KNOW ENOUGH INFORMATION ON A SUBJECT. HER REFUSAL TO RESPOND TO THE JENA 6 CASE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SHOWED HER INTEREST IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, AND IT WAS ONLY UNTIL OTHER CANDIDATES WERE GIVING STATEMENTS ALSO SAID ALOT ABOUT HER. I THINK SHE WILL HAVE ALOT OF BLACK PEOPLE VOTING FOR HER BECAUSE SHE IS THE WIFE OF BILL CLINTON AND BECAUSE WE CANT HAVE HIM BACK IN OFFICE SHE’S THE NEXT BEST THING. AND SHE’S BANKING ON THIS FOR A WIN OF THE MINORITY VOTE. READ. BE AWARE. RESEARCH. IM NOT SAYING JUST BECAUSE WE’RE BLACK WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA, BUT PLEASE LET US NOT PUT ANOTHER “DUBYAH” IN OFFICE REGARDLESS OF REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.

  • imrightdammit

    Anyone can be in the preference group. Then after the allotted time to convince each other, the caucus chairman determines how many delegates each preference group can elect. The winner is the one with the most delegates. So there is no real individual vote. It’s like a group/committee thing.

  • Me

    http://www.crgazette.com is a Iowa newpaper that has up to date coverage as well as everything you need to know about caucusing.

  • AND…

    Okay I’m slow somebody run down the delegates thing to me. I just went to cnn and it still sounds like a vote to me.

  • DC KITTEN

    let’s be honest how many people are just voting for and cheering him on because Obama skin is black,

    Come on people when has any black politican or leader besides Martin Luther King did us right.

    Please believe Obama is not black Do your History and tell me what he does he knows about a real poverty black american who has lived in the United States.

    Please believe Clinton was the best President we ever had, and if his wife get the seat he will be running this country along side her.

    I don’t think i want anything to do with Obama especially after Oprah Aunt Tomasena A$$ endorsed him, if she wanna take the word nicca just imagine what she will have Obama taking.

    WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE EVERYTHING IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS.

  • http://www.myspace.com/barackobama Wenzel Dashington

    I’m giving money soon. A little adds up.

  • Proud Republican

    All my friends and I hope he wins the democratic nomination. Will maintain our neo-con dominance over the WHITEhouse for at least another five years. We can run any of our good ole boys and still beat that nothing of a black man. Keep it up! LOL

  • Stringer Bell

    You fools!! this is what is going to happen. Obama will win the democratic nomination…

    But I will gurantee the Republicans will still control the white house…

    Cause at the end of the day white people will not permit a black man in the white house…

    They will push it as far as they can to make it seem like we as blacks have a choice and he is the savior..but you must understand that country was built on racism..and still stands on that foundation today….

    As far as I’m concerned he is a patsy put there to lose.. Romney will be the President.

  • Proud Republican

    Well said Stringer Bell. The democrats are soft and we have the best tactics to control power. Obama would never get over 50% of America’s votes. He’ll struggle to even match John Kerry. LOL

    The only dem we really fear is Al Gore as he would win this time. Hilary has a shot as does Edwards as a southern boy.

  • Lela

    OBAMA AND HILLARY both have issues to get over. Idiots like poster “Proud Republican” proves my point. I have lived in the south and know a good portion of the south would never vote for Hillary Clinton. And another section of the south would never vote for a Black,Asian,Mexican either.

    John Edwards has already ran in an election and lost with Kerry. So, say he would be a safe bet is way off base. The man could not win his own state. I do think Obama has a better shot at the White House out of the three leading in the Dems.

  • Ms. Fab

    Go Obama!! Don’t pay any attention to the nigger foolishness on this site, you know black people are our own worst enemies. Go do it in 2008!!!!

  • Lela

    Also, Obama does not “NEED THE ENTIRE SOUTH TO WIN”. He could win the White House with a Midwest strategy. However, win or lose Obama has achieved a great thing by being a serious contender for the White House.

  • Stringer Bell

    @ proud republican

    It would be nice to see someone of different race in the white house…

    But I’m just being real.. the society and the american culture won’t allow it…

    Obama is a PATSY!! it’s the truth.. just like Kerry was a PATSY!! Bush’s crew will be around for a long time!!

    And as a side note. check http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com

    That should give you a very clear idea of win the US will never and I repeat never get out of Iraq or Iran or Syria…opps did i go to far??

  • Proud Republican

    I’m no idiot but a lot of people I know are. They think obama is a muslim extremist. Fox News hinted it linking him to be from indonesian terror camps and that is now accepted truth among many conservatives. I know its not true but I don’t plan to put anyone right either. FIVE MORE YEARS! LOL

  • Really

    We are taking over, b*tches!

  • Lela

    Proud Republican…I think your talking about the brainwashed folks. Those same people who were told daily Obama could never be a serious contender in Iowa (yet, he is now) and that he could never raise as much money as Hillary (Yet, he did).

    Only, so many people will fall for that crap about him being a Muslim etc… Yet, it seems a large portion it looks like in all White Iowa are not so brainwashed.

  • Nita

    So far, Edwards is winning, Hillary is tenths of a percentage behind him, and Obama is like 8 percentage points behind both. The caucus results are all over the place so far, but the one thing they do have in common is Edwards is ahead of the couple (like 10 out of a couple thousand) places reporting in so far.

    I don’t know what this means, since so far are reporting in — and according to one liveblog over at DKos, the Obama and Hillary sections were neck and neck with the number of folks who were supporting each candidate. Also, many of the caucusers are old people. Like, 80. Might be running up against old folks who don’t want change or hope or go girl, but want safety and electability… however that safety and electability wouldn’t prevent them from considering a (white) woman.

    We’ll see.

    It would be a very, very bad thing for Obama to be in third after all this.

    But we’ll see.

  • Nita

    Thank you Me, Imright and TX for the information on where to get more info on how caucuses work. It’s still very confusing to me, particularly given how I saw some info where a single family could have a profound impact in caucus reporting, because of how rural areas of Iowa are given more weight than urban — if I understood correctly. But it’s better to know these things, or try to understand them, than to remain ignorant. Thank you three, again.

    I’ll keep my hopes up, that good will come of this.

  • Marquis de Sade

    co-sign with Stringer Bell

    I’ve been listening to some Conservative Talk Radio Stations and the consensus over there is they consider Hillary a bigger threat in a head to head race with their elected GOP Winner…So they are hoping that Obama becomes the democratic elected, thus making it an easier to retain control of The White House. There’s no way that they’ll will elect Obama to The White House. When all is said and done, white people (Liberal and Conservative) alike will get cold feet and elect a middle-aged white male. Overall, it’s all about maintaining the STATUS QUO.

  • Nita

    Like I said, I don’t know what’s going on, because numbers have been all over the place. I just got this from Daily Kos (where good guys are Dems and bad guys are Repubs. I don’t buy that good guy bad guy divisions, by the way. Here we go)

    Good guys:

    1,262 of 1,781 districts reporting

    Obama 35.06

    Edwards 31.19

    Clinton 30.87

    Richardson 1.78

    Biden 0.97

    Uncommitted 0.11

    Dodd 0.03

    Bad guys:

    730 of 1,781 districts reporting

    Huckabee 31

    Romney 23

    Thomspon 13

    McCain 12

    Giuliani 11

    Paul 10

    I hope those numbers are true, but I don’t know. We’ll. I don’t want my hopes up only to have them crash again.

  • Nita

    Why Cityinthemitten? Why is Edwards the only one with a shot against the Republicans?

    And, there’s also the Huckabee factor. I’m a little shocked that he’s really that high up. The Republicans ‘in the know’ were trying to say that he was a ‘bust’. If you want to know who the Republicans really seem afraid of… it’s Pastor Huckabee. But why?

  • imrightdammit

    @Nita

    Understand that Iowa Caucus is NOT indicative of the American vote. The caucus members are consistently the far, far extremes of both parties. The democrats are overwhelmingly extreme left ultra-liberals. (Just some food for thought. Previous Iowa Caucus winners: Tom Harkin, Richard Gephardt, John Kerry, Edward Muskie. Yeah. My point exactly.) As for the general election, it doesn’t mean anything, but the candidates like it for the pub and hopefully more $$$.

  • Nita

    It’s been called by MSNBC. Iowa for Obama. I don’t know what to say. I hope MSNBC didn’t jump the gun, 2000 like. Apparently, all the older districts of Democrats who turned out and reported first were eventually rolled over by the number of young people who actually turned out to caucus. That’s incredible.

    Has this ever happened, like, ever?

    Is it possible? Could it be? Is it possible? Can you imagine…?

    I don’t know what to say. History has been made tonight, if this really does hold up. What will we do?

  • Nita

    Imright, yeah, but none of them was a black man. A biracial black man. Half Kenyan, half Kansan. Writing essays in kindergarten. Is Obama really that far to the left of Edwards, Richardson and *Kucinich*? I know Hillary likes to pretend to be a centrist.

    But I understand what you mean. Since Iowa doesn’t represent the rest of the United States, what has the rest of the United States said it wants?

  • crazy black lady

    BARACK OBAMA HAD BETTER HAVE A BODY GUARD BECAUSE THE KOOKS ARE GOING TO BE AIMING AT HIM…SUPPORT OBAMA…I HOPE OBAMA DOESN’T CHOOSE HILLARY AS HIS RUNNING MATE!

  • Nonya

    OBABMA JUST WON IN IOWA….IT’S OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MiStYbLuE

    @ AND .. UNLESS “BABY PLEASE IS THE INDIAN ACTRESS & MODEL AISHWARYA THEN THE GRAVATAR PICTURE SURELY CAN NOT BE “BABY PLEASE” SO HER COMMENT REALLY DOESNT MATCH HER GRAV BECAUSE THIS WOMAN IS A MULTI MILLIONAIRE AND HAS BEEN MS. UNIVERSE AND MS INDIA AND TRANSLATED IT INTO A SUCCESSFUL MODELING & ACTING CAREER. JUST AN FYI

  • imrightdammit

    @Nita, yes, I believe he is because of the “anti-establishment” thing. Radical lefties see him as a clean slate to push their secular progressive agenda. I’m not saying that’s what he will do, but since has essentially has no national political voting record, they have a better chance with him than an established more conservative democrat. And the US is a BIG place, and the vast majority of Americans lean towards conservative (even if they are Democrats). Black people may not realize that, especially if you live in urban areas, but the majority of the US (who can vote so that eliminates illegal immigrants) are middle of the road White people.

  • Kenya

    he should help his people first. What an idiot.

  • Kenya

    People are killed like crazy in Kenya. This stupid does care about his own people.

  • Kenya

    You guys who are supporting this idiot fu all. His cousins are dying but he keeps his ass shut.

  • Kenya

    Why he talks about Kenya and forget his own country? You guys google the real news networks and you will see what is going on in Kenya as I speak. This guys talks a lot about Iraq, how about Kenya his own country?

  • TruthTeller

    @Kenya

    Senator Obama is an American, born in Honolulu and raised in the midwest.

    Stop trying to cause trouble.

  • TruthTeller

    Final Results:

    Barack Obama – 38%

    John Edwards – 30%

    Hillary Clinton – 29%

    This signals a new era.

  • Whitegirl

    I’m not little or old, but I am white. Obama 08!

  • Kenya

    @TruthTeller

    Being born in America does not means that you are american. So why you guys do not can Mexicans americans? Yes, he is stupid american citizen.

  • Emma

    Do the damn thing Obama!

  • Kenya

    Question to all americans? Why do you always like idiots to be the president of this country?

  • Nita

    Reports are Edwards was being an ass tonight. Hillary Clinton congratulated Obama, and spoke well of both Obama and Edwards.

    Edwards called HIMSELF the winner, didn’t acknowledge Obama’s win instead berating him. What the f— ? Anybody got the video of this? I want to see this for myself. A lot of folks are shocked about Edwards, particularly since Hillary who came in third appeared more gracious in defeat. Anybody else watch what was goin on, though?

  • TruthTeller

    @Kenya

    ——————————————-

    I think you missed a lot of classes at school, or you are NOT an American, if it’s the latter then shut up you have not say.

    There are many US constitution reference material out there, I would suggest you spend some time reading.

    @Nita

    I’ve been looking for footage of this too. Something always made me shy away from Edwards a little no matter what he said. I couldn’t put my finger on it. If he was acting like an ass to Obama I think I can finally put my finger right on it. I want to see on film though.

    What’s up with all the GOP idiots on the comments. What the hell did they do…dig them up from under rocks and sic on us?

  • TruthTeller

    @Nita, I watch it on MSNBC and Chris Matthews said the same thing, “neither John Edwards or his wife, congratulated Obama’s win”

    I am surprised how ungracious that was, because I actually like Edwards as my second choice.

  • TruthTeller

    Sorry about the bad grammar, I am past my bedtime.

  • http://www.urbanswirl.com Ebony

    Hmmm. seems like the bulk of the Obama hate was coming from Edwards campaign advisor Trippi.

    However, Edwards then whined that he was “grotesquely outspent”. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

  • Whatchaknoaboutdat?

    He can’t be any worse then the Bush admininstration!!!

    I say we give him a chance.

    :P

  • http://www.urbanswirl.com Ebony

    @Kenya

    Question. Who do you recommend for president? Hillary? Edwards? Huckabee? Guiliani?

    How would any of the above be any better than Obama? Do you really think that Huckabee would give a rat’s ass about any people of color in this country or another?

  • crazy black lady

    MICHELLE OBAMA NEEDS TO LOSE WEIGHT. SHE’S FAT!GO

    OBAMA!OPRAH SHOULD BE THE FIRST LADY NOT MICHELLE OBAMA….

  • Kenya

    @TruthTeller

    There is the difference between being american and american citizen. Not everything that white people say or write is right. light up the darkness idiot! Who wrote the US constitution? Thank you!

  • Kenya

    @Ebony

    Americans always elect idiots to be the president. I know my desire will not change the american mind. Whoever will be the president should address the real issues. The almighty God created man to multiply on earth. Why do we separate other human being by borders?

  • Hope

    OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

    I think one of Obama’s hardest challenges is going to be proving to his own people that he is good enough. We need an administration who cares about whats really happening in the world not about how to make the rich richer. I want to hear more about how the middle class is disappearing about how homes are foreclosing left and right, about how to get the troops home, about how to repair all the damage that the Bush administration has caused, and about how America is going to repair it’s image overseas amoungst other things!

  • Kenya

    This guy has 19 issues on his agenda. One on them is Iraq. He got no agenda on Africa. Wow! To him,Iraq is more important than Africa. God bless him. His girlfriend Oprah decided to build a school in a country that has bigger economy than Spain.

  • Kenya

    @Hope

    what do you mean by “world”?

  • Lynn

    I too am cautious of an Obama victory. If he would have won the primary with more points then I would be happy for him with no reservations, as of right now though I am very cautious. It is a very narrow lead. It is also the result of a surge in young voters who find it easy to go to a church or gym and stand in a corner on a Wednesday night but probably won’t go and vote. The little old ladies you speak of caucused for Hilary and will vote when it comes to it.

    We should be damn proud of this man. But when it comes to voting season in November, middle of the road politikers are going to run to conservative sides rather than bet on a wild card. He can win a caucus, sure, but can he win over the majority of America? Iowa is no microcosm, it is not like most of the United States.

    Can he win the rest?

    I hope so. Damn, I hope so. We’ve heard all about change but we haven’t heard concrete ideas. I’m waiting. And damn excited for the prospect. But I’m not sure I’m voting on a man who can exact the change he speaks of. I’m not sure he has the power, clout, or know-how that is necessary to make this dream a reality. His policies are not that different from other candidates. His passion, however, is unmatched.

  • http://gorgeousblackwomen.blogspot.com/ GorgeousBlackWomen

    Why do people pay special attention to Iowa? Why do they matter more than any other state with this? I understand the process, but I don’t see why people were worked up over this. Don’t count your chickens…

    Huckabee won too. And if the republicans have any sense (if nothing else, they know how to win elections which is more than I can say for the democrats), they’d pick someone else. Thanks to political ads, I now hate ALL the candidates and started watching movies exclusively.

    America will never allow the Islamofacist, Barrack “Hussein” Obama, become Prez. Enjoy it while you can!! LOL!!!!

  • Qi-Qi

    I don’t want Obama to win. I’m afraid if he does they will take him out faster than JFK. His family needs him.
