Can The Old Man Do This????

Posted by Bossip Staff

obamaoregon1

Here is Barack Obama in Portland, Oregon yesterday. The brotha’s campaign reportedly broke a presidential campaign rally record with over 75,000 supporters. For all these doubters who were not with Bossip last year in believing Obama would do well and likely win the presidency, have your opinions changed?

Far too many times our people put artificial ceilings on what we can or cannot do. Discuss..

    First!

    Hey Sydney, if you show up. Hi! Luv u Boo!

  3. Danielle

    Wow! I love that we will soon have our 1st black president!!


  4. OMG, it looks so hot .. It seems that guy is dating online now. I saw his profile on dating site “W e a l t h y lo v I n g . c o m” last week. It is said he is dating young billionaire on that site.

  5. DP

    I love it!!

  6. California Love

    I am so proud of Oregon for supporting Barack. Cant wait to know the results from Tuesdays election. I had mixed feelings about Oregon on who they will support. We will surely see what happens!!!

  7. Jamdown

    WOW, I never thought that he would even be in contention for the presidency but I was wrong. Way to go Barack

  8. ALWAYSaLADY

    Barack is the Future!


  9. This is the most awesome picture I have ever seen! Thanks Bossip for sharing!

  10. Hillary Rodham Clinton

    You people do realize that these people are a part of my constituency and i sent them there to give Obama a false sense of hope. Trust me, come Tuesday, there will be one collective thunderous cry: “PSYCHE!” when the final ballots are counted, and i’m announced the winner!

  11. De

    I love Barack and am hating on Mike Huckabee for the gun remark. Why doesn’t CNN get on him?

  12. Kamee'

    yes we can…….&…….YES WE WILL!

  13. a.b.in dc

    This campaign has made me very grateful for a few things:

    To George Bush for screwing this country up so badly that Americans of all colors have finally united for the greater good.

    The internet and various news shows that have exposed the hypocrisy and fallacy of many of Obama’s detractors(see John McCain and Hamas/ Hillary Clinton and gas breaks)

    The election for showing me the true nature of Clintons. I was so blind

    The entire Obama campaign, for all those who believed long before me that America could elect a black man.

    Finally, to my people who have for the first time in a long time refused to let history and BS stand in the way. African AMericans stood up and reminded the Democratic party that we can and do matter in elections. This race started with the courting of the latino vote but it ended with North Carolina standing the _________Up.

  14. Kamee'

    De…..

    I’m from Arkansas, and went to high school with his daughter. I’m not a fan of Mike Huckabee, but trust me when I say thats not his character. I think he tried to pose a joke that went flat. He’s a minister, and wouldn’t DARE speak death upon anyone. I think the media tired to put their own spin on that comment. But no one’s covering it, cause he wont hold weight when *****yzed, due to his character. He’s not the type to play that way.

  15. JTB

    That Hilary imposter comment above was weird …among other things. Moreover, Obama 08!!!

  16. Doagae

    This is beautiful……

  17. lovely and amazing

    Barack the Vote!!!!!

  20. Kia

    a.b. in dc your post brings tears of power and joy to my eyes. I too have my first reason to be consiously proud to be an american.

  21. pokki

    i believed in him from day one.

    i love you barack

  22. The_Truth

    WOW. . .no way he can lose.

  23. Suge

    Excuse me- I meant to say – I would like to order a White House on the rocks, please. Send it to the TABLE to Mr Obama. Thanks for accepting my apologies.

  24. Ro

    I hope Oregon have their poll places organized with supplies and necessities for a smooth voting experience.

  25. lovely and amazing

    For our elders who are not with us to see this…

    Yes We Can!

    GO BARACK!!!

  37. Til You Do Right By Me...

    Yeah, it is pretty darn cool to see and behold!


  38. @ a.b. in dc You took the words right out of my mouth

    OBAMA ‘08!!!

  39. K

    Bossip is ageist and even though McCain is like 71, I still think he is ten times hotter than Barack Obama. Has anybody seen young pics of McCain in his uniform? You all just don’t know.

  40. Harlem Chic

    This is a destiny type thing…

  41. Ara

    Obama 08!! All the way!! Oregon Stand up!!

    Stay united people, let’s make it happpen!! Yes we Can!!

  42. Shay

    That’s a beautiful picture.

  43. ashes

    This is so beautiful… I always knew my man Barack could do big things… this is what the country needs…. he will change our world, I truly believe that.. He will change the way the rest of the world views the US…. Yes we will!

  44. Ara

    Obama 08!! That picture is a beautiful sight!!

  45. Mike Huckabee

    Those poor white people. They showed up thinking that it was a Grateful Dead concert, only to be disappointed. Oh, the inhumanity of it all.

  46. ALEXANDRA

    AMEN! :)

  47. WordtotheWise

    Yep, I’m so proud of my hometown! My cousin who worked with Obama’s campaign said Portland was going to do it up and they didn’t disappoint.

    Go Oregon!!!

  48. Terry

    That pic doesn’t mean *****!

    You are playing the game so things have not changed. Look up your old civics notes and see what the prez of the US’s duties are. Obama ain’t going to do *****! Ask him if he’ll help the originals of the country make it to the top:The Native Americans. Yeah, that’ll go over real well with the whites that run this *****ing country. I’m black and I will not and will never be pursuaded to vote for a black man as prez for a white dominated country!

    Hey, I would rather see an Indian(East) or an Ansian as president. *****, they going to be running the world anyway so we should give them a taste of running one of their future territories.


  49. Hmmm…do I belive that obama can win? I always have. Do I believe in his rhetoric? Nah..that hasnt changed and probably wont. Knowing the issues….knowing the root cause of all this *****. That is why I (GASP!) dont support Ron Paul any more. I think Ron Paul is the lesser of the three evils, however an evil none the less.

  50. glok9n

    WOW THIS WAS AMAZING! THE LOVE THIS CAT GOT SHOULD MAKE HILLARY QUIT RIGHT NOW, THE BYTCH AINT GOTTA CHANCE!

  51. Marquis de Sade

    SMDH FOR PRESIDENT IN 08! SHE WILL HELP THE PLIGHT OF THE BLACK MAN, CUZ SHE HOLDS OUR BEST INTEREST CLOSE TO HER HEART. WE ARE THE VERY AIR THAT SHE BREATHES.

  52. glok9n

    Obama is about change, but our ppl are not willing and are not ready for “change”! Blk ppl “change” is the basis of “growth”.We need growth i order to change.And “to change your life,you must change your mind”.But if you are too rebelliously proud” to change,it will make you too “ignorantly stupid” to grow.This is a problem with us BLACKFOLKS.This “false pride”. This “insecurity” attempting to mask itself as “pride”……

  53. glok9n

    OUR BLACKPEOPLE are naturally “full of pride” but dont really have anything to be proud about.WE JUST PROUD TO BE PROUD…JUST *****KING SILLY.We will walk around with our head up, and chest sticking out for no reason at all.We aint got “no money” we aint got “no status”.We aint got “no cl*****”.And we definitely aint got no sense”.All we got is some damn pride”.What good will blk be to OBAMA or what good will we be to him if we are cant change our condition!!!

  54. BossipKeep*****Going

    whatever go somewhere and swallow nails.

    im pretty sure ur a clinton or old ***** mccain supporter.

    tell both to sit their *****es down, OBAMA WILL WIN.

  55. glok9n

    DUMB BYTCH LEARN SOMETHING!*****EM ALL! WE ARE NOT GOING TO ACHIEVE ***** YOU IGNORANT *****WIPE!

  56. Big Mike

    Terry are you seriously stupid? No white, asian or indian person is going to be running this world in the future, because this world is less than 50 years from destruction!!!!!

  57. glok9n

    MY BAD THOUGHT THAT WAS DIRETED TO ME!OOPS!!!


  58. Cl***** of 08″ In the house ,Holla!!! Congrats to all the 08 graduates, Obama 08 yes we can

  59. asil

    love me some obama , 08 you go

  60. that one girl

    YES WE CAN 08!!!!!!

  61. DhaniDarko

    Most East Indians and Asians in this country are apolitical. They will never run anything for several reasons:

    1. India has the highest AIDS rates in the world = no power

    2. China is going to collapse under the weight of its m***** industrialization

    3. Indians and Asians in America are less than 1% of the population and care more about doing nails and selling curry than politics

    I like how we complain about the lack of change and then when change comes we say it won’t make a difference. But what do you expect from black people who hate themselves so much that they hate on another black man just to prove how smart they are because they think on the inside that a) they are the only smart black person ever or b) they are a fake and constantly have to prove how smart they are because black people aren’t smart.

    OBAMA!


  62. This truly amazing! I am so happy to see this. GO OBAMA!!!

  63. :)

    I am proud that he is half kenyan, like me;)

  64. Fan

    I live in the Caribbean and I have followed his campaign. YES WE CAN …. YES HE WILL

  65. mbalamoon

    Africans doin’ it BIG!


  66. Obama is on fire with the young folks, but can he change the older voters who are stuck in their way?

  67. Dolla Bill

    We’ll see if he can do it….Personally I think he’ll get snowjobbed in the end.

  68. justmoi

    From here in the UK I just wanna say ”Go Get ‘Em Obama !”

  69. Ms. Toni

    I’m starting to actually believe that Barack can do the damn thing!!!


  70. This is very inspiring. History can be made. We need a change.

  71. Sunny Days

    In the words of Gina Waters: YOU BETTA GO BOY!!!

  72. I'm Just Me

    LET’S DO THIS OBAMA!!!LET’S DO IT, LET’S DO IT, LET’S DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!

    AND NAH…THE OLD MAN OR CURRENT PRESIDENT COULDN’T/CAN’T DO THIS!!

  73. Necy

    Making it rain on them hoe’s BUSH AND McCain !!

  74. I'm Just Me

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALCOLM X….R.I.P.

  75. I really hope this isn't as good as it gets....

    Go Barack! Not because he is black, but because he is going in the right direction :)

  76. Sharpton's perm

    I hope the Ron Paul and Hillary supporters can take this as a hint to STAND THE EFF DOWN!

    you lost! stop waisting your votes, money and energy unless you truly want to see mccain carry out GW Bush’s 3rd term.

    Unite or perish

  77. Just Sit and Be Pretty

    Love it!!

  78. sogladtobefree

    I definitely changed my view. I support Barack and I hope he goes all the way…we need something new and someone new to turn this country around and to change our reputation in the world.

  79. beautiful b

    obama. obama. obama…..obama!! i just love type his name.

  80. Eva

    Yes we can.

  81. PootyPoo

    Beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes. I knew from the day Oprah asked Obama to consider the run for presidency he would be a force to be reckoned with. I am so proud!!

  82. Missy

    Wow! How awesome…! Go Obama!

  83. Sydney

    @Marquis de Sade

    LOL, was that really you? You know me too well. Yes We Can! :)

    @lovely and amazing

    I left you a mesage on the T.I. post. I love your book club idea, and I really appreciate the thoughts you shared this weekend. I concur completely.

  84. OakCliffChick

    Beautiful is the best word to describe that. The media says that this man can’t stand up under pressure. BS! Obama has gone through more testing than any other candidate and is still fighting! GO OBAMA!

  85. Slumlord Shabazz

    Thats whats up!Obama is gathering the m*****es of all races and creeds. When God has his hand over your life,you can move mountains.***** the press!

  86. DR.FUNK

    Incredible photo.

  87. eWW...WTF

    co sign-”incredible photo” seriously.we really need a change and i think obama will be the one to give us the change we need..

  88. lovely and amazing

    Per MSNBC:

    The number was ACTUALLY 80,000 PEOPLE!! 65,000 within the gates and 15,000 outside!! YES WE CAN!!

  89. toya

    yes we were hot as hell waiting on obama, but we’d have waited all day. yes we can!

  90. Sydney

    Per NY Times — Hillary refuses to give up:

    “Adding a new mathematical twist to her case for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Monday that she had not only won more popular votes than Senator Barack Obama, she had won states totaling far more electoral votes.”

  91. cmoore

    MLK all over again!!!! Obama is going to take this nation by storm and rock the socks off of racist people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08

  92. Girl

    Senator Robert Byrd from good ole West Virginia just endorsed Obama. Byrd is 90 years old and a former KKK member back in the day 60 years ago.

    Now that is progress

    Yes We Can


  93. Good for your Bossip. Good for you Obama!

  94. GGooDie

    That is amazing.

    I knew you could do it brotha. Keep sending positive words and energy towards him…because in ‘08 things are going to be sweet.

  95. Mr. Dee

    75,000 suckas….voting for a man they barely know…

  96. allaccess

    We can keep dreaming and perhaps the fantasy will come true. Don’t let the media brainwash you. McCain is the next President….mark my words. I would be very surprised if Obama takes the Presidency. Not that I don’t believe that our people have the power to succeed, it’s because politically, there is a small group in power and they keep that power amongst themselves.

  97. Lite&Sweet

    Stand UP Oregon!

    That visual is A-mazing….McLame couldnt get that kind of crowd on his BEST day….

    YES WE CAN!

    Obama 08!

  98. OBAMA-HONEY

    CHURCH~!

    PREACH BOSSIP….I WAS WITH U FROM DAY 1 BABY!

    THAT PICTURE BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES FOR REAL! THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO THROW AT HIM AND HE IS NOT GOING DOWN! LOVE THIS BROTHER…..I MEAN WHITE AMERICA….(SOME) CANNOT UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE SO CONFUSED WHEN HE TURNS OUT WHOLE CITIES TO HEAR HIM SPEAK…….

  99. OBAMA-HONEY

    OREGON STAND THE ***** UP!

  100. DaPrezident

    It truly is a beautiful thing…

    YES WE CAN!

    08AMA!

  101. ewok

    never a doubt in my mind. i know brilliance, and i saw it when he spoke for john kerry when he was running. i automatically thought “who is this man?” i seriously thought i would be a part of history if obama ran for president. he got my vote already.

  102. karen

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I still will not VOTE for him, can’t people see he is a set up by the republicans? I will either vote republican or not vote at all before i vote for him.

  103. MDM.Org

    I want the superdelegates to end this separation in the Democratic party. To me the majority has spoken and made its request clear. Obama should be the democratic nominee for November. Enough is enough. I believe I heard on the news that McCain had to make a personal hospital visit? McCain is really too old.

  104. Shay

    Karen

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I still will not VOTE for him, can’t people see he is a set up by the republicans? I will either vote republican or not vote at all before i vote for him.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    A set up for what Karen?

  105. plv550

    Barack is the truth. Party like a rockstar Barack!!! It doesn’t surprise me that Portland went all out for Barack like this. I am so very proud to see this. My husband and I went there on vacation in 03′ and I knew that the vibe and the people there were on some next level ish! Yes we can Black people…Yes we can America.


  106. For you people that feel like us trying to bring power back to the people of America is a lost cause… why don’t you just jump off a bridge. Obama is doing something… you should support him just to see how far he can actually get. He will prove once and for all if the people of the U.S. still have a voice.

  107. Real Talk

    OMG!!!!! That picture says it all. YES WE CAN!


  108. Wrote a poem about “Can’t . . . ” wanna hear it, here it go:

    “I can’t do this, I can’t do that!”

    Did you at least try or simply declared a fact?

    More than likely you won’t if you say you can’t;

    I tend to disagree with the “I can’t” slant.

    Dreams, goals and aspirations are what can’t lacks!

    Can’t is restrictive and will hold you back.

    Hard work and perseverance will see you through.

    There are no limits to what you can do!

    Some tasks are easier than they initially seem.

    Put forth an effort, realizing your dreams.

    Nothing worth having is easily obtained,

    Be it education, wealth, strength or fame.

    Spring forward while moving ahead.

    Fall backwards but move forward instead.

    Put negativity behind and let it push you through.

    You’re destined for greatness, believe me, it’s true!

    Self-confidence is something that money can’t buy.

    Next time you say you can’t, ask yourself did you try.

    Some doors will close whereas others open wide.

    You’ll never know what’s open until you’ve at least tried.

  111. did everybody forget elections are rigged. bush already said a republican will be president.

  112. Encyclopedia Brown

    I support Barack Obama 100%

  113. Sean

    Bossip step your game up!! people who attended the Portland, Oregon Obama event. Well, Fox news ALREADY reported that there was a concert happening too. In fact Fox news mentioned how all the other networks didn’t report that there was the concert and how the other stations made it seem like they were ALL there for Obama.

  114. Joyce

    Shay— What Karen means the Republicans have more on Obama and his campaign than they have on Hillary. Everything they have on HER is old. Ken Starr spent 70MILLION DOLLARS investigating the Clintons and guess what they found? nothing. Obama has skeletons (yes, like everyone else) but its not good when you’re a new candidate and people are skeptical about him. To the republicans he is an easy candidate to beat, we shall see. The republicans may be a silly bunch but you cant knock their research skills. Lets see how fast Bossip throws Obama under the bus.

  115. Yes.We.Can!!!

    It’s so right and correct to pcik Barack to be that White House! Barack is about bein for all people, and not about the ‘dunn dunn’ bull***** that Hillary and John represents. We need BArack, and America will be *****ed up if they don’t elect him!
