FRESH POST…

Well…about the SC thing. I don’t think it’s hate, but people (black in particular) have very fond memories of the Clinton administration. And very fond memories of an earlier Hillary as a champion for nationalized health care, and a patient bill of rights, and other initiatives aimed towards the poor. They want to hold on to that…i personally believe that she’s been bought…will she turn on those who have lined her pockets once in office?? prob not…

Dont be fooled folks, the way Bill handled America will probably won’t be the same with his wife. they are two differnt people!!

lets make history and vote Obama!!

bun all dem haterz/racist

HAVE YA’LL SEEN THAT MOVIE ZEITGEIST….SPOOKY

Bill was the only star power in the Clinton Clique. Hillary is way too much of a power hungry insider and THAT’S the reason why no one’s feelin her. There’s no honor in refusing to give up when you know you’ve lost.

@anon chick. You nailed it. Folks have fond memories of Clinton cuz he put in so many black folks in office. But his policies for blacks weren’t so great. He screwed the black farmers who were being denied their fair share of help from the Dept. of Agriculture, he didn’t stand up for Lani Guinere or Jocelyn Elders — and they had progressive ideas. He put in NAFTA (which was started by Bush I) and made crack a more serious crime than cocaine. Clinton’s administration was the start of prison nation. I am proud of Obama, still need to study his plan more, but if he wins N.H., we need to pray for the man’s safety and for the safety of his family. I don’t trust the Clinton’s and their Bubba Mafia and the Republicans.. we know what they ’bout.

I’m a Hillary supporter in SC and I work for the campaign, although ou voting population is around 40 percent, not 50. Many african americans here do not vote or are not even registered so this is going to be interesting

get the hell outta here…beyonce’s weave is fake?

I almost (ALMOST) felt sorry for Hilary yesterday when she was close to tears to me anyway it finally showed she was human like…but to little to late for her…

What in the hell does dating have to do with people voting? If you can’t stay on point especially with a subject this important, don’t waste our time.

I dont know about you, but with every passing primary, Hilary Clinton comes accross as a spolied brat that is not getting her way. In my opinion, Hilary comes accross as if she is entitled to win this presidential election based on her “35 years” of political experience. She seems SO PISSED that a man of color is beating her. Mind you this is only the beginning and November is still a number of months away and she comes across as a bit defeated because she didnt win the first two primaries. If she is acting like this now, how do you think she will act once she gets into office? You wouild think that given her “35 years” of political experience, she would be better poised and could handle becoming the underdog on the democratic side. Hilary is way too emotional and childish..GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that Mariah needs to stop talking trash, that is if the story is true.

and Mariah is probably jealous that Jlo is pregnant and she is just naturally pudgy

Slick Willie also cut federal social programs which affected many blacks. He cut federal funding to pell grant and other programs that helped poor blk kids get thru school. So blk ppl wake up stop being so duked about Bill Clinton. My last point he opened his office on 125th in state building then the rental space prices went up. He’s never in Harlem and he isn’t helping to pump money into it either. Ok he smoked weed played the sax and had multiple extra marital affairs so what. He didn’t do much for blk ppl. Like most politicians he just shuck and jived for blk community support cuz he needed it to win. Do research about his moves before you jump out the window for Clintons.

I pray that Obama wins this! It’s time for a change. But in all seriousness, if he does win, them rednecks gonna want his head. And they’re gonna go after it. I’m sorry to say but this is so true, white people do not like nor do they accept change. And once they see a black man progressing, they’re gonna try to shoot him down. Because in their eyes, blacks are trying to make them the minority. They won’t stand for it. I just pray for the safety of him and his family…I know where my vote is. Barack the vote!!

I guess it depends on what you believe in, but I was watching CNN or MSNBC last night and they were interviewing some white people in New Hampshire and the majority of the room was for Obama (With the exception of one lady). Never in my 26 years on this earth (I know its a short time) have I seen so many white people believe in a man of color to run for president. While I think Barack is very brave for even attempting to run for president and I most definitely fear for him and his family’s safety, I think GOD will protect him.

@kzzmerghtthere

i remember that…Alma told Colin to sit his black azz down cuz he wasn’t running for sh*&….

in these crazy times, can you blame her?

Obama all the way baby!!

I remember when Sharpton was running for president, I thought it was such a joke. But Barack is a different story. He comes across as the type that could repair America’s damaged relationship with other countries just based on his charisma and intellect alone. He also has a realistic withdrawal schedule for the troops to come home. We all know that the republicans will keep the troops in Iraq forever.

@kzzmerghtthere that is the most backwards thinking I have heard. Are you from S.C.? If he decided to run I am quite sure the safety issue was discussed with his family. If he’s willing to sacrifice evidently Obama isn’t worried about it so why is that your major concern?

@ bahama mama

First off heeeeey girl!!! (ok, enough with the hood rat stuff) lol

Secondly, I don’t feel sorry for Hilary at all. She was coming at Obama’s neck so hard that the other democratic canidate had to take up for him and they are running against each other. Hilary crying was a sign of her being weak in my opinion. I want a leader who is strong, hell this is just the begining and she’s crying. And i am not saying that it’s not ok to cry but do that in the privacy of your own home. I want a strong leader, a leader that even when the time is tough, he/she won’t break down and cry, feeling sorry for themselves, but a leader who will stand tough.

Obama is going to wax that ass. In other news, did any of you know that Barack’s middle name is Hussein? What a name for the man who could be president. GO_BAMA!

I know some of the “not so ethnic friendly” white folks are in awe that this black man has not only dominated the news in the US but globally. Good morning all.

Thank you for this post it has been an interesting read. About SC and Hillary Clinton…If large percentage of the voters are older black people who do not believe that a black man can be President- how do they feel about a white woman being president? We’re not voting for Bill! There is no doubt that Bill will play a role but he WILL NOT be Commander and Chief. Hillary lacks the political savvy that Bill had. When placed under the gun, her only tactic is to come out swinging with negative catty statements about her opponents. She is proving to be extremely insincere in the public’s eye. I believe the American public is getting a glimpse of how she would be as the leader of this country and are losing hope in the idea of Hillary taking office.

I really might be the only black person that CAN NOT STAND OBAMA…What does he stand for???/ Can anyone tell me…Other than supporting a black man for president, WHY should I vote for him..Honestly, I’ve watched the speeches..the man can spin a speech beautifully. He has stage precense, and a nice soft tone, lol..but can he tell me what he’s gonna do for my daughter, and how he’s hoping to better her future. Can he say where he stands on Illegal Immigration. Can he tell me what the hell he’s gonna do about the budget that Bill Clinton fixed so well, and George bush F’d up…can he please tell me what his plans are for bringing our troops out of Iraq. I still dont know..Everyone keeps saying..But dont u want a black president..Yes thats all fine and dandy..but NOT THIS ONE..I dont think he’s strong..One video from Bin Laden, I think Obama will freak the f*** out..No people..We need to look BEYOND his physical…really try and pay attention to the things he says..b/c he’s not really saying Much of ANything.. On another site, there was a side by side of things Obama has done..compared to the things Hilary has done..The numbers speak for themselves..no comparison. The Job of the President does not come with On the Job Training. We need someone that can get in there and get S*** Done. Obama..I’m sorry for those that Love him, I dont think he’s this man. I am the BIGGEST Democratic..very liberal..but I swear…If Obama is our candidate..and McCain wins for the Repubs..I will cross parties and vote for McCain..Its that serious..

kzzmerghtthere

Gurl who done pissed you off so early in the morning?

@CaramelTai Rev Al ran just like Jesse in 84 & 88 just to get more blk ppl involved in the voting process. Rev Al came to my block to campaign when he ran. Rev Al couldn’t even win here in NY. The devils here despise Rev Al. Even very liberal whites wouldn’t support Rev Al.

Pascalle

Obama is going to wax that ass. In other news, did any of you know that Barack’s middle name is Hussein? What a name for the man who could be president. GO_BAMA!

Yeah that’s old news and fuel for some idiots who think he shouldn’t be president b/c he will be in cohoots with Iraq terroists and such.

Go Obama fu*k what ya think.

constitution*

@BrandiLuvsU

I’m not sure what exactly it is you want to hear b/c he has addressed most of the issues you mentioned. If you don’t vote for him that’s cool but at this point if anyone is voting for him simply b/c he’s a black man they are an idiot. Look at the polls sweetheart ppl wouldn’t be rallying for him if he didn’t exemplify what we wanted in a President.

@kzzz so you don’t think MLK and Brother Malcolm knew their lives were in danger? I doubt that you live in my zip code and not to mention around the corner from my informed educated ass. The tax base is too high for you to live here. I can tell just by reading your postings.

@kzzmerghtthere

I’m sleepy as hell. That’s why I need y’all to get it poppn’ so I can wake the hell up.

Hillary dissed Dr. King yesterday. She said that President Johnson was responsible for the Civil Right Act not Dr. King. She’s a racist and she’s stupid. She’s delusional. I’m more qualified to president than she is. I help children and the poor…Make me President!

P.S. Many of you are still asking questions about these politicians and where they stand. Now that there is the internet, tv, radio and discussion blogs. It is on you to do the research. No one can do it for you. If you are curious about where they are coming from then do your research. Watch a political debate. Don’t blame the politican but yourself. Knowledge is out there. It is not going to come to you. SMH Sigh!

my P.S. was addressed @ Brandi

AND…

You know it’s funny..people said the same thing about George Bush…”Bush is a man u can have a beer with” He’s what we need in a President…Look what the hell is going on now. …”Obama is someone u want to sit down and have a meal with” I’ve heard that comment…I’m scared of him..I dont hate the man, I just dont think he’s ready for what he’s about to get.

@kzzz I knew you didn’t live in my zip code. I am BX Brawler not to prove how thug or gangster I am lol. I have been boxing since I was 7 yrs old. I have fought in golden gloves. I still fight as a workout idiot. My boxing style is considered a brawler’s technique. Open up your mind and close your legs.

ewww if Jayz or diddy supported obama they would drive the white vote far away

they are hated

Obama fan all the way!

I dont want to start a war..But we are in the real world…I work for the government, and it’s some shhht when I can’t make copies of something, b/c we dont have enough supplies. It’s a real thing..the budget deficit is a real thing. It’s affecting how I work and live. Out of pocket I had to purchase materials for some employees b/c it’s not in our work budget. This budget is money given to us by the government. Its a shame when my husband who works for the baltimore county police department, has to take a pay cut, b/c there isn’t enough in the budget. This man, Obama..I dont think he’s strong enough, mean enough to get our County even close to where it was at when Clinton was in office. Our congress is already looked at as lazy people that do nothing. I dont want another 4 years to pass, with nothing done..steps backward, not forward. But I’m ending it here..I will vote for who I think will best make good of the position, and right now, I just dont see Obama as that person

not looking good for hillary in sc right now

from dailykos-

SUSA and Rasmussen give us the first polls of South Carolina in 2008.

Democrats:

SurveyUSA. 1/4-6. Likely Democratic Primary voters. MoE 4.2% (12/17-18 results)

Obama 50 (39)

Clinton 30 (41)

Edwards 16 (17)

Rasmussen. 1/6. Likely Democratic primary voters. MoE 4% (12/16 results)

Obama 42 (33)

Clinton 30 (33)

Edwards 14 (17)

SUSA seyz:

There is across-the board movement away from Clinton to Obama. Among women: Clinton had led by 17 points, now trails by 14 points. Among blacks, Obama had led by 20 points, now leads by 46. Among white voters, Obama had been 3rd, is now 2nd, tied with Edwards, the two of them 9 and 10 points back of Clinton. Among Moderates, Obama was tied, now leads by 23. Among voters age 65+, Clinton had been at 61% a month ago, 40% today. In the Low Country, Clinton had led by 13, now trails by 16. Upstate, Obama had been tied, now trails by 16. In the Midlands, Obama had led by 5, now leads by 26. South Carolina Democrats name the Economy as the issue the next President should focus on ahead of all others. Among voters focused on the Economy, Obama leads Clinton 2:1. Among voters focused on Health Care, Clinton leads Obama 41% to 37%.

And note the Iowa effect:

One quarter of SC likely voters say they could change their mind before the SC Primary. Of those who may change their mind, Edwards’ support is the weakest, Obama’s the strongest. Among voters who made up their mind AFTER the Iowa Caucuses, Obama leads Clinton 63% to 13%.

Republicans

SurveyUSA. 1/4-7. Likely Republican primary voters. MoE 3.9%

Huckabee 36 (30)

Romney 19 (19)

McCain 17 (10)

Thompson 11 (18)

Giuliani 9 (13)

Paul 5 (0)

Upstate, Huckabee leads by 22. In the Midlands, he leads by 16. In the Low Country, he leads by 14. South Carolina Republicans think the next President should focus on Immigration ahead of all other issues. On Immigration, Huckabee and Romney had been tied, Huckabee now leads. Among Republicans who say the Economy is most important, Huckabee’s support has quintupled over the past 60 days and he is now 2:1 preferred over all other.

And Republicans remain unsatisfied with their field.

43% of SC likely voters say they could change their mind before the SC Primary, significantly higher than the percent of SC Democrats who say they may change their mind. Among the comparatively few SC GOP voters who say they made up their mind after Iowa, Huckabee leads Romney 41% to 10%.

this whole race is boring. The Agenda is obvious . and Obama bin ladden Barrake is a patsy if i have ever seen one. This has nothing to do with the JUNIOR Senator and he knows it. Guess we will have another republican in office in 08. but the congrees is demo so this should be interesting. You people are so easily entertained by this fake arse negro and his ugly ass wife.

that applies to the clintons and the Obamas.

@kzzz leave one comment that makes sense using logic and intellect w/o ebonics so I can dead the issue. Going to a meeting huh? proof of Bill Clinton’s social program funding cuts ie welfare. Since enacting welfare reform they finally made you go get a job huh? good luck with that hood chick. I got to get back to working on my dissertation. Peace to you sister.

Well you first spoke of issues you wanted addressed my reply was about those issues and now you talking about having a beer and eating dinner. Could it be that they candidates are answering the question you have but you just aren’t listening? IDK who you vote for. What is meant to happen will and that’s the bottom line. No worries.

I KNOW the issues..Wow..people take everything SO literal..I was trying to divulge if any of u could tell me what he stands for..since all I hear is he’s the Right Guy for the job…I know and understand Obamas policies..but do u?

If “know and understand Obamas policies” and you don’t feel he is capable of being our nation’s leader then don’t vote for him. It’s just that simple. Since you “know and understand Obamas policies” why are you on a gossip site fishing for answers to questions that you already know. I’m not on the Obama campaign trail and I’m not trying to convience anyone to do anything. Listen to all the ppl and go with the person you think will do the best job. That’s all the rest of us are doing.

correction

convince

Hillary is not going to win. Obama may not win either but hillary sure as hell won’t. Why would she cry?!? I mean that’s the reason women in high places get no respect and that’s if they can even get there b/c men see us as the “weaker sex” that will cry and whine and such. There may be a lot of primary democrate voting ppl switching to republican side for this election.

@kzzz I explained my screen name not to scare everyone. I would never put my hands on a women in a violent way and only on a man to protect myself. Sorry sunshine but I am not like any of your baby daddies that enjoy slapping you around.

Wow *snif* I’m so proud of the great points made by many.

Unfortunately at the end of the day I feel many people will hold on to the “good feelings” that they have towards Bill. While his policies and decisions can be questioned. There is nostalgia when looking back at a time where America had no deficit and no war and a booming economy. I feel many people will run back to anything Clinton…like a girl running back to that man who “kinda” treated her right remembering the good times and glossing over the bad.

HE’s in to win, I feel it in my soul! All the way baby!! ALL THE WAY!!!!

I think the democratic party is the reason African-Americans are behind in America. They give all of these handouts, and make folks depend on the fn “nanny state”. Oh, those poor black people, they need help, let’s give them some help. Aww, they can’t do for themselves. Eff that! I know folks need help from time to time, but to depend on the state is an embarrassment.

I am an independent. I would like to vote for Huckabee b/c he is for the Fair Tax. However, I will most likely vote for Obama, b/c damnit, even if he isn’t exactly along my political lines, haven’t we gone long enough without a person of color in power here? I’d love to see those other countries, and see their perspective of the US change as a result of him being in power.

Initially I was concerned with Obama’s support or lack thereof in SC, but now I feel that SC will follow the trend set in Iowa and hopefully NH set by majority white voters. Unfortunately too many of our people are not independent thinkers and have to be spoon fed and led to their candidate of choice by some politically paid preacher with a passionate deliverance from the pulpit. Now that people are convinced of Obama’s electability, I’m hopeful that SC will take note and follow the majority rather than adopt the attitudes shared by some of our desperate and cliche’ “leaders” (Andrew Young, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton) who are, in my opinion, blinded by disdain and jealousy by the fact that BO is the first viable BLACK presidential hopeful.

Truth be told, only Jah can correct this wicked system so we’re really just choosing the lesser of the evils. Stay focused y’all!

Oh and STRINGER BELL thanks for the link.

MY GOSH PEOPLE!!! HE IS BIRACIAL!!!!!!!!!! “THE FIRST BLK PRESIDENT” my ASS!!

Chillin @ Work

MY GOSH PEOPLE!!! HE IS BIRACIAL!!!!!!!!!! “THE FIRST BLK PRESIDENT” my ASS!!

He self identifies as black. So does Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, Persia White, Salli Richardson, Thandie Newton, Shemar Moore, Boris Kodjoe, Tracee Ellis Ross, Tiger Woods, and Rosario Dawson just to name a few and they are all considered black. STFU!!!

I hope Barack takes it today!! Hil didn’t fool me at all with her staged crying. After being such a b-i you know what to Obama during the debate, why try to show you’re vulnerable at the last minute? I think she should re-group and come up with a new strategy that doesn’t involve negative attacks. It didn’t work in Iowa and hopefully won’t work elsewhere.

I want Obama to beat her so convicingly in SC that THE CLINTONS get the message: POLITELY FALL BACK.

@Chillin @ Work

Sweetie either you are a non-black person trying to create divide and rule mentality among black people or you are an idiotic black person who needs to go out more. Are you trying to say that a person needs to have two black parents in order to have the black community’s interest at heart or in order to identify as black. The world is full of Obama’s.

GET OVER IT.

Please Obama free your white relatives from the cellar you keep them locked.

They promised me they won’t say anybody you are mixed!

Isn’t obama mixed?

and then is his name muslem. Everything about obama is so confusing. Race does effect how you view the country so maybe we need a half black and half white president ot make the balance.

But I did not know he was black his name on the voting poll would have me scared.

the name barack is african? Man he does not represent black folks he reps the damn melting pot.

I support Barack Obama 100%

Go Obama, but he is behind in New Jersey right now-

9:00 pm, CST.

Lol looks like Clinton will take NH.

I mean New Hampshire. Sorry.

I did like it. It is awesome….If you really want to see real good pictures visit the following page http://www.femmate.com

Hillary couldn’t control her man, how can she control a country?

Hillary crushes Obama in NH!!! Go Hillary Go!!!

Obama was ahead in the polls in NH and Hillary turned it around big time. Obama is done for. It’s time for us to put all of our support behind Hillary!!!!

Thanks, my brothers & sisters.

Chillin @ Work–what you’re sounding sounds logical, but Americans (both Black and white) see him as Black. So I guess there’s very few Americans who are thinking on a “higher” level.

Bottomline..

aint no brotha’ gonna ever be president of the united snakes. PERIOD!!

BTW,THE SO CALLED 1ST BLACK PRESIDENT(B.CLINTON)has been looking & sounding WHITER & WHITER these past 2 days!!

Some of us blk. folk need to understand the clintons are part of the establishment just like the bushs are.

Wake up my people!!!

Why do people cry racist if you dont like Obama?? And why are stereotypes being perpetuated on this website????????? You have more intelligence than that!

He is too inexperienced. What he should do is be Hillarys VP, THEN president – think about it – 16 years of democratic policy FOR everyone rather than the republicans rallying four years from now. Think long term people.

I’m with you, Brandiluvsu, not “feeling” OToma (just kidding, a friend called him that and I thought it was funny).

Kucinich is the only candidate in full support of reparations for blacks. The Clintons are political grifters. NObama stands for “If I pulled myself up br my bootstaps and rose above the fray, so can all n—–s in America.” That’s why whites love him. One articulate black man absolves them of centuries’ long guilt and duty to repair any damage white controled America has caused blacks.

I’m black, female, and I vote. John Edwards is my choice. I want a fighter against unacceptable status quo. I don’t need another preacher man to give me false hope.

Obama all the way!!!!!!!!
