Taking the World By Storm
Posted by Bossip Staff
You may not have noticed this, but we at Bossip are shameless Obama supporters, but we are by far, not the only ones. Here’s what living legend Stevie Wonder had to say about our man Barack:
“‘He’s a combination of JFK, and Martin Luther King (Jr.). With that he can’t lose.’”
Obama gets much respect internationally as well. Check out what folks have to say about him across the globe:
The conservative French daily Le Figaro described him as “the man in a hurry who dethroned Hillary.”
The left-leaning London-based Guardian called him “a political giant slayer” who defeated his own party’s entrenched interest.
In Mexico, an editorial cartoon in the daily Reforma depicted him as a Christ-like figure atop the Democratic donkey on Palm Sunday.
“Obama’s America on the doorstep of history,” said a headline on the front page of As Safir in Lebanon.
English-language Khaleej Times, a daily based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates printed:
“If McCain is America’s past,” it said, “Obama is its future.”
F**k whatcha heard – Even headz internationally know Barack is the ONLY option.
Obama 08!!

Obama ‘08!
That was a good quote
Black folks think they are proud, but Kenyans feel like that’s their boy doin the damn thing. They are rejoicing over there. The man is a force to be reckoned with.
@Lush, Katrina, Kush: Why put first?
its juvenile.
The Future is NOW!!
Frederick Dougl*****, Thurgood Marshall, MLK, Malcom and too many of our ancestors to count are smiling.
Now this is a post that I don’t mind commenting on. The other stuff is usually GARBAGE! I love the fact that my daughter and I are gonna be apart of history. He IS our next president and I’m honored to help place him there. This is the change we need!
OBAMA ‘08 YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL!!!
All I can say is what a gentleman. You know he is going to get Time magazine’s: Man of the Year, as Russia’s Putin did last year. He will be right there on the front cover as he has so many times before. Continue to pray for this man and his safety.
YES, WE CAN! WE ALL CAN!
My boy obama is def. a combo of JFK and MLK
ok Bossip you forgot the word NOT.. as in but we are by far NOT the only ones..you better fix that when you talking about Mr. President!
WE’RE GUNNA TAKE THIS 1 HOME!
yay. We love obama.
Watch BBC News and you will hear only the truth about Obama–that he is monumental goodness and greatness. Yes we did, can, and will!
Barack is the man I voted for and the man that I’m putting money on to make it to the white House—it’s YOURS Obama, name it and claim it Brother, I got you!!!
Obama is the anti-christ…check out revelations…which basically states the whole world will follow this new charismatic leader of the new world blindly…also machavelli and ancient native american tribes predicted the worlds end in the year os 2012…which would coincidently be the end of obama´s potentially first term
Obama “08″. Just like yall on this blog, yall BETTER go vote!
ALL ABOARD!!! The Obama train will now be departing. Next stop-NOVEMBER!!!
@that-dude, stop trying to aggravate people, and notice I did not put 1st….that is about enough of that anyway. I’m on this post to comment on Obama not to get into cl*****less clash, but if you’re here for our Main Man I applaud you.
I meant to say *Nostradaumus not *machavelli
MIESHA:
I thought the end was 1999?
Oh, and didn’t they say like 10 other leaders were the anti-christ? So I guess Michelle is Obama’s evil minion. Should we check his scalp for the mark of the beast? GTFOH!
Did anyone hear that Edwards will not be running as VP?? Yea well, his lost right??
for every poster who comments about Obama being the ANTICHRIST and the world ending in 2012..
HOW SO? THE BIBLE SAYS NO MAN WILL KNOW THE HOUR WHEN THIS WORLD WILL END! STOP IT!
@ Bree, gurl I had to rad that twice then I said eff it, this IS Bossip right?? lol!
* read
@McCainsha
Please enough with the antichrist propoganda. It’s not working here and you cannot steal our joy for Obama’s triumph.
Open your mind and stop watching those those ridiculous youtube propaganda videos.
And if the world does end in 2012, I’ll go out happy Obama made it to the white house before it happened.
And you know Stevie Wonder is a cl***** act his own self, what beautifully talented human being. He is someone who has always stood up and spoke out for his people.
All right, L&T, tell it.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MAY I PRESENT TO YOU THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES– OOOOOBAAAAMAAA!!!!!!
Now we have 6 months of McCain plants coming to the Bossip deal with.
BTW___ WE”RE GOING TO HAVE ÖNE FINE FIRST LADY”!!!!
This is such a inspirational time for ALL Americans. This is the moment of OUR generation. Its time to get those “KKK thinking” whites, “chitlin eating still thinking its 1950″ blacks to the back. Its the generation of the 21st centruy, and with what a lovely way to start.
Obama 08 & 12
Lauren

_____________________________________________________
Excuse you??? Ignorant??
1.) You don’t know me to call me ignorant, I came in here and stated that John Edwards did not chose to run for Vice President.
2,) I KNOW why I want Brack Obama to be President….Because Health Care is too expensive, and this is his goal, because I don’t want to see my sons get drafted in a pointless war, this is where we will be is McCain is elected….
3.) Why am I explaining myself to you???
I can’t help this but…
@ Maisha,
well then i guess you better get your house in order.
the hell did my gravatar go??
Joy
that isn’t even a typo, that is a complete OMISSION!
& they still have yet to correct it!
get it together Bossip!
@Lauren
LOL!!! Don’t forget, he’s one hell of a basketball player as well, lol! JK
Whatz Good Bree?!!!
I HOPE THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE BLACK MAN!
I see I’m going to have to school some people who read one part of the Bible but not the next….
Okay listen up…
Paul writes that this Man of Sin (sometimes translated son of perdition) will possess a number of characteristics. These include “sitting in the temple”, opposing himself against anything that is worshiped, claiming divine authority,working all kinds of counterfeit miracles and signs,and doing all kinds of evil.
First off, Barack Obama is a devout Christian, Paul write that the anitchrist will opposed things that are worship ie. Jesus Christ….this contradicts your theory of Barack Obama being the anti christ…
Also the Bible states that the antichrist will be doing counterfiet Miracles and all kinds of evil, tell me when and where have you heard of Barack Obama trying some David Blaine type stuff, come one people, you can’t pick apart the Bible and choose your antichrist, like Bree said, NO MAN KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR….So lets fall back and vote Obama 08′….
@ BK…LOL…True True!!:lol:
Oh man you know I really beleive this going to happen
Obama is going to be president!!!
YES WE CAN
Anderson cooper doing special the Fall of Hilary Clinton Yikes that speech really did her damage
Amen, tell it Lauren!! The need to get the EFF outta here with that Antichrist mess….anyway, if they are so worried then like a previous poster stated….GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!!
Yea, let’s let an inexperienced candidate run the most powerful country in the world. *****in JCPenney has higher standards for their shoe department managers than Americans do for their president.
This election is a joke. You’re all stupid pieces of *****
I am so proud of this man and my people. Many people may not realize what he has done/doing but it is short of amazing. I believe Obama is going to change to World for the best. I’m not saying he is perfect (no one is) but he is Special.
I’ve read on other Blogs….White people are upset now because he doesn’t claim his White heritage and considers himself a Black man. Too bad, so sad……He’s ours.
Hey Lauren, thanks! I thought I was gonna have to start schooling some on the bible but you handled it very well…..By the way, that sounds like BUSH to me ie. all kinds of evil, counterfeit miracles
@Lauren(Check me out!)
@ BK…LOL…True True!!:lol:
==============================
lol… Obama has game! He would be such a better prez than the one we have now.
Congratulations, Sen. Obama!!
I’m new to this site. Is it common on here to respond to “trolls”?
Ok folks, settle down.
“Common sense” is just one of the many bitter white parasites that have been feeding off the land known as the USA.
They are a plague that will soon be eliminated. They know this, hence the anger and fear. LOL!!!

____________________________________
I’m sorry you feel that way but you have about 5 months to GET OVER IT, because he’s our next President, love it or leave it, where would he be without HATERS like you, ya’ll make the world go round’!
For those who think that he is the anti-christ and the end of the world is coming, I have 1 question: Are YOU ready to stand before God?
@common sense
sometimes less is better. They thought G.W.B. was experienced and look where it got us. If that’s what having experience means, you can keep it. I want NO PARTS of it.
YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL!!
@ LJ….Do as you please…:)
first off, i’m not white
Secondly, it makes me a “hater” because i’m not getting caught in the hype? you idiots can’t think for yourselves, im not pro-mccain either you stupid idiots. obama has no experience related to the job he wants to take, and if you imbeciles really think he’s going to do everything he’s promising you’re in for a rude awakening. you’re all equally as stupid as the morons that voted to re-elect Bush.
REMEMBER THEY TALKED ABOUT JESUS.
YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL
@ Common Sense
And havin’ a geriatric warmonger who doesn’t have a clue on how to deal this country’s looming recession and floundering economy, but is determined to throw what’s left of the budget on a “WAG THE DOG” like war is a viable alternative? And need i remind you, this is the first presidential election since 1952 where the candidates aren’t in*****bents…So from that perspective, no one has any experience in running this country.
Oh, you’re a colored troll? Let me rephrase this:
Ok folks, settle down.
“Common sense” is just one of the many bitter colored parasites that have been feeding off the land known as the USA.
They are a plague that will soon be eliminated. They know this, hence the anger and fear. LOL!!!
*with this*
Look at these retards.. like i’m vouching for McCain by pointing out the obvious F A C T that obama has zero experience. you’re all very bright.. no really.. LOL
You folks are kidding yourselves. This is EXACTLY what bugs me–YOU PEOPLE think he is the Second Coming of Christ. You are so wrong. God help US ALL if this anti-Christ wins.
Mr. Common Sense is living in his own world, he doesn’t like, Bush, McCain, nor Obama, he needs to move out of this country then….
@COMMON
So it’s a problem when we want to believe what he is saying. Hell we WANTED to believe what all of the last 43 presidents said. Of course he’s not gonna be able to go in there and snap his fingers and everything bush did will disappear. I know it’s gonna take time and he might not even be the 1 to change it all but he is the beginning of change. Let me ask you this: would hae been ok for us to jump on the Clinton wagon and why? What makes her or any of the others better than Obama?
YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL!
PS, Why the name calling? I was always taught that people with low vocabulary resulted in name calling.
He name calls because his intelligence is inadequate…
Lauren how are you black yet manage to have red hair? *****in 90% polyester, 10% nylon weave wearin ***** bird.
How smart of you to think that one has to be supportive of any of these *****ty candidates to have a valid opinion. The fact remains, burger king wouldn’t hire a ceo with no experience, yet the einsteins in this country are ready to hand the country over to an inexperienced candidate. truth hurts, you jack*****es
@ Common Sense
LOL! For the sake of argument, other than Obama or McCain, who’s a more viable choice?
BOSSIP THANK YOU FOR BEING SHAMELESS GUILTLESS SUPPORTERS OF CHANGE. OBAMA WILL RESTORE THE TRUST AND COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE USA AND OTHER NATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROKEN AND DAMANGED BY THE BUSH MAFIA AND McCAIN WILL ONLY GIVE US MOER BUSH POLICY!
NEWSFLASH EVERY1:
common as NO sense
Common is probably just an embittered estrogen-depleted feminist. Still *****ed Hillary has been defeated.
Calm down, sweets. Anger=High blood pressure and heart attacks. Have an Obamojito!!
GOBAMA!
awww “hey why the name calling”
respect is earned not given away, i’m not stretching the truth by calling the lot of you imbeciles. would it make you feel better if I talked about the inadequacy of the other candidate(s)? i mean, i am staying on topic by talking exclusively about your messiah obama.. let me know how i can make your life better =)
What does the color of my hair have to do with anything, I’d like to see a picture of you….
AND FYI…This is an old picture, I have went all natural since this pic if you must know….and thanks for looking
ok Lauren , PREACH!!
Hello Brooklyn!
how are you doing?..im getting ready to leave work..40 mins to go!
As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In August 2005, he traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world’s supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of m***** destruction as a first defense against potential terrorist attacks.
Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, Obama visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.
He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. In a nationally televised speech at the University of Nairobi, he spoke forcefully on the influence of ethnic rivalries and corruption in Kenya.
Obama worked with Russ Feingold (D–WI) to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the “Honest Leadership and Open Government Act”, which was signed into law in September 2007.
He joined Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in sponsoring S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections.
Obama also introduced the “Iraq War De-Escalation Act”, a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.
Later in 2007, Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accountability Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.
joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was p*****ed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.
Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries. After p*****ing both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, SCHIP was vetoed by President Bush in early October 2007, a move Obama said “shows a callousness of priorities that is offensive to the ideals we hold as Americans.”
Obama also introduced the “Iraq War De-Escalation Act”, a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.
^LOL.
ALSO TO “LACK OF COMMON SENSE” HERES A LIST OF THE AMMENDMENTS THAT HE HAS P*****ED….
S.Amdt.159 to S.Con.Res.18 – To prevent and, if necessary, respond to an international outbreak of the avian flu.
S.Amdt.390 to H.R.1268 – To provide meal and telephone benefits for members of the Armed Forces who are recuperating from injuries incurred on active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.
S.Amdt.670 to H.R.3 – To provide for Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) refueling capability at new and existing refueling station facilities to promote energy security and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
S.Amdt.808 to H.R.6 – To establish a program to develop Fischer-Tropsch transportation fuels from Illinois basin coal.
S.Amdt.851 to H.R.6 – To require the Secretary to establish a Joint Flexible Fuel/Hybrid Vehicle Commercialization Initiative, and for other purposes.
S.Amdt.1362 to S.1042 – To require a report on the Department of Defense Composite Health Care System II.
S.Amdt.1453 to S.1402 – To ensure the protection of military and civilian personnel in the Department of Defense from an influenza pandemic, including an avian influenza pandemic.
S.Amdt.2301 to H.R.3010 – To increase funds to the Thurgood Marshall Legal Educational Opportunity Program and to the Office of Special Education Programs of the Department of Education for the purposes of expanding positive behavioral interventions and supports.
S.Amdt.2605 to S.2020 – Expressing the sense of the Senate that the Federal Emergency Management Agency should immediately address issues relating to no-bid contracting.
S.Amdt.2930 to S.2349 – To clarify that availability of legislation does not include nonbusiness days.
S.Amdt.3144 to S.Con.Res.83 – To provide a $40 million increase in FY 2007 for the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program and to improve job services for hard-to-place veterans
S. Amdt 41 to S. 1 To require lobbyists to disclose the candidates, leadership PACs, or political parties for whom they collect or arrange contributions, and the aggregate amount of the contributions collected or arranged.
The stock market’s plunging as we speak, oil prices are unfathomable, unemployment has skyrocketed, the dollar ain’t worth ***** and we have dumb*****es out here like “common” spamming up a positive OBAMA post.
An angry and bitter troll on a gossip site.
Go figure.
Worthless and useless as his/her momma’s stretched out P—Y. LOL
Common Sense(Check me out!)
Obama also introduced the “Iraq War De-Escalation Act”, a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.
^LOL.
You may LOL…But he introduced the Bill…it obviously was the presidents job to sign off and make sure that ***** got done, who can we blame this on??? GWB!!!
miss take are you mad that i’m not taking part in this obama circle jerk? most of these idiots have no basis for their support of obama aside from the fact that he’s black, or that he “isnt a republican.”
then you have this moron lauren copying and pasting bull***** from some “vote obama” website without providing an original thought of her own
bunch of einsteins in here hahahahhah
@ Common Sense
Barack Obama has Written a total of 890 Bills and Co-sponsored Another 1096 since he started serving in the U.S. Senate.
So tell me how “unexperienced” he is again????
i did not want to go there but i will. the name calling is not necessary. we can all agree to disagree. no one is saying he is the messiah. and for those people who think he is inexperience, guess what he had enough experience to plan beyond super tuesday, he had enough experience to go viral and raise large amounts of money. he had enough knowledge and experience to not go into debt and expect someone to bail him out. he had enough experince to organize and receive enough delegates to win the democratic nomination. finally he had enough experience to beat the big inevitable clinton mmachine.
then you have this moron lauren copying and pasting bull***** from some “vote obama” website without providing an original thought of her own
bunch of einsteins in here hahahahhah
______________________________________________
I gave you many of my thoughts, but you still are avoiding the fact that this man has done so much but you are still very angry….sad…but oh well…I’m glad I enlightened you.
Lauren you dumb*****.. do you not see the problem with that “remove all troops from Iraq” proposition? it removes all responsibility this government has to right ***** in iraq, a country we had no purpose entering in the first place. unfortunately for OBAMA he has to deal with that mess now, and he’s bailing out the outgoing administration by simply pulling out the troops and having virtually no plan to help the people of iraq and the horse ***** bush and co. left behind. his proposal leaves the iraqis to deal with that on their own. oh wait obama’s a humanitarian right? he’ll heal the world of all her ills =)
OBAMA IS ANTI WAR HE IS SO NICE AND CARING HE’LL MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!
obama’s brags about bein anti-iraq war, but he’s voted for over 300billion in war funding, he’s still committed to putting more focus into afghanistan, he’s supported the Lebanon war as well as supporting israel’s occupation of palestine.
but what am i talking about here? i’m sure you all knew that right?
@ Common Sense, you can continue to call me names it’ll only make you look stupid….
But I will address you anyways…
FYI…When SEN OBAMA is elected President is plan is to provide at least $2 billion to expand services to Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, and ensure that Iraqis inside their own country can find a safe-haven. So I don’t know where you came up with the fact that he has virtually NO plan to help the people of Iraq….this clearly contradicts that….NEXT?!??
Stevie Wonders comment was right to the point. I find it sad that other countries are recognizing and celebrity this historical moment while American find chaos and conflict over Obama nomination. Hopefully Senator Clinton will realize the negativity she has brought to the campaign move forward.
Obama is really making it rain over the world.
@ Common Sense
LOL! All you’ve done is point out problems caused by the current administration and project them on Obama. Do you have any solutions or are you just satified in berating Obama (alleged lack of experience) to mask the fact that you’re a fan of the status quo?
lmao@ “he has a plan! 2 billion with the iraqi’s name on it!”
do you realize, genius, that there is conflict between shiites and sunnis in iraq right now WITH the US trying to keep things under control? how do you figure in your enlightened mind that everything will be “OK” if/when the US leaves? who will distribute that money? how the ***** do u think they’ll allocate power? coin toss? rock paper scissors? because they’ve shown how well they work together right? RIGHT? lol
He is so good looking. He makes me hot. Lucky woman, that Michelle is.
@ Marquis, exactly!
He laughed at the fact that Obama wanted to p***** a bill back in 2007 that would start bringing troops home in April of 2008, but he cannot see how this justifies the fact that our President Bush did nothing and overlooked this Bill….
@ Common Sense…
This is his plan….He would call for a new constitutional convention in Iraq, convened with the United Nations, which would not adjourn until Iraq’s leaders reach a new accord on reconciliation. He would use presidential leadership to surge our diplomacy with all of the nations of the region on behalf of a new regional security compact. And he would take immediate steps to confront the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Iraq.
God has that brother back. When he promotes you there is anyone or anything that can stop it. We have to realize that when you are trying to do the right thing, the enemy will pull out all sorts of tricks. Take heed Yall!Spiritual Warfare101
So Yes! He is a Humanitarian….and you keep thinking that he somehow overlooked the fact that we still need troops there, but there CAN be reconcilitation and peace can be made….you have no hope…but I do….I won’t stand back and watch gas prices bounce from average to 5.00 a gallon without knowing that there is a Politician who will do everything he can to help America’s economy, WTF is GWB doing while gas prices sky rocket??? Who has even heard from his dumb ***** recently???
YALL QUOTING BIBLE VERSE,BUT WHAT JESUS IS OBAMA SERVING THE *****GIT WHITE IMAGE OF CESARE BORGIA THE ONE WHO LEONARDO DA VICI ASK TO POSE OR THE ONE DESCRIBE IN REV 1VERSE 14-15 ITS EASY FOR OBAMA TO PRAISE A FALSE IMAGE!!!
This is his plan….He would call for a new constitutional convention in Iraq, convened with the United Nations, which would not adjourn until Iraq’s leaders reach a new accord on reconciliation.

LOL. do u not see the “elections” those animals had in iraq didnt mean anything? i’m looking for what makes you think they’ll just cooperate with the UN or anybody else who tries to tell them how ***** should run.. is it because Obama says so?
wow.. lauren.. you really think obama will lower ur gas prices?
you’re delusional. LOLOL
Slumlord Shabazz(Check me out!)

So true, Promotion doesn’t come from the east nor the west….!
Everybody please proceed and ignore this sexually repressed COMMON troll.
look at obama’s “experience” with foreign affairs and his asinine approach..
let’s “talk it out” with ahmadinejad… the same guy who earlier this week was telling japan to “prepare for a world without the U.S”
yea! “talk it out!” like they taught me in the 3rd grade.. that worked out so well for neville chamberlain. LOL
If a Democrat done what Bush had done for two terms,they would of been on the impeachment “chopping Block” a long time ago. Let’s keep it real, alot of folks aren’t going be able to sleep after he unites countries and cultures and “the white folks” couldn’t LMAO.
“THROW SOME WATER ON EM”!
What I loved the most is when he before he gave his speach to be the Democratic nominee.. He and his wife gave each other a pound..just real genuine. That’s that ral ***** right there! If I can find a way to vote twice for Obama..I will..Yes sir!
I’m very upset at the dumb ***** white/black women who willnot vote for Obama because Hillary lost, and instead will vote for McCain. This is clearly racism..There is no other way to describe it…
i find it fuunny or weird that many disgruntled hillary supporters will support mccain. that is so stupid for the lack of a better word. there was a lady who asked mccain how will you beat that ***** (hillary) he told the lady that was agood question.he never objected or say please do not use that language to describe her. now he exploits it and says oh the media used sexism and that was not right in order to get her supporters. my question is if he really cared about hillary or her supporters why didn’t he take up for her then, but he knows that many of hillary supporters are emotional and not thinking with their heads so he exploits the situation.
Fmr. Sen. John Edwards ,ormer 2008 presidential candidate and 2004 Democratic Vice-Presidential Nominee

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THOUSANDS OF US POLITICIANS WHO ARE BACKING BARACK OBAMA, TELL ME, IF THEY DIDN’T THINK HE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WOULD THEY BE BACKING HIM AS A PRESIDENT???
@ Common Sense
Well actually the gas prices will lower after the election. These hikes are a sham, due in fact by the oil companies preying on the ignorance of the average consumer who doesn’t know that 80% of our oil supply comes from Canada and less than 20% comes from the Middle East. This whole “Saudis decreasing their production” spin is just a ploy by the oil companies, Bush and his co-horts to maximize and horde as much profit between now and the upcoming election…Afterall, Bush is first and foremost an “OILMAN”. He’s a lameduck and doesn’t have any true incentive to lower the prices by dipping into our reserves…And don’t take this as me being a fan of the Democrats, but any sane person can’t honestly say that they can be happy with how this country has been ran in the last seven+ years. (with the exception of the rich, who has shares in Oil and Haliburton).
gee i dont know Lauren… omg… could it be because… they’re all…. democrats… omg… and… would it make any sense… for them to support McCain, a republican…. OMG did that ever cross your mind? lol
EVERY POLITICIAN YOU JUST NAMED IS A PART OF THE ILLUMINATI ………SO WHAT GOOD ARE THEY FOR BLK PPL WHEN THEY BEEN IN OFFICE!
THEY OR OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO DO ***** FOR BLK PPL!!!
yea, you guys got it all figured out.
obama’s dumb***** “plan” is to force motha *****as to produce more ethanol/find alternative fuel sources, when its already been proven that refining *****in oil is more cost-effective than ethanol, which, as i’m sure you’re all aware of, is more expensive to produce than gasoline. if this was a hillary entry i’d be doing the same to show why she’s a ***** candidate, but this is obama, and you’re all very upset that i’m berating your hero/idol/savior/messiah/
@ Common Sense, are you implying that they are only backing him because he is a Democrat? These are very prestigous people, I don’t think they want to risk their career for someone who they thought was incapable….
OH AND HOW ABOUT THEY SUPPORT HMMMMM MAYBE HILLARY CLINTON, I KNOW SHE IS NOW OUT OF THE RACE, BUT THESE PEOPLE SUPPORTED OBAMA LONG BEFORE SHE WENT OUT….
EXPLAIN THAT
@ Common Sense,
Why would we be upset??? Your just one person, Obama already has the ticket….you should be the one who is upset…lol
Lauren….You are on it girl!
we appreciate you for your knowledge and taking the time to “argue” (for lack of a better word) with someone (Common Sense) who we didn’t care to acknowledge! If i were you, I’d stop wasting my time. Much like we need to do with this USELESS war!
Good Night Marquis…..I am going to buy an OBAMA shirt in Common Sense’s honor tonight!!!!
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT MR. COMMON SENSE, NICE DEBATING WITH YOU
hillary clinton was ***** also, she’s even worse than obama for reasons you’re unaware of but that’s another issue.
and i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if obama does in fact win, the right wing imbeciles of this country already proved their stupidity, and now its up to the left wing to show that they will not be outdone.
these elections are a joke.
I’m really tired of all of this experience talk, *****ODY has president experience unless you’ve been president before, I don’t care if your daddy was president, or if you are a former Governor or Senator…Running the country is different than being an average politican…Sometimes your common damn sense can out weigh experience or background…George Bush *****ed up this country not because of his inexperience but becasue he’s a dumb ***** retard plaine and simple, George Bush had an interest in oil not politics and he used 911 for his own personal agenda.
I think Barack will be fine as long as he surrounds himself with the right people…He definately has something special to offer the world.
Ahhh. No-sense is one of those disgruntled Ron Paul supporters.
He/she/it is *****ed b/c that last EBT payment was donated to Ron’s campaign.
There is nothing wrong with hope and dreaming change etc
We nees to take back control of the goverment Its had been 8 long years of republican power and look at our nation not only are the poor suffering Bush managed to kill the middle cl***** as well
Enough is enough Obama needs to win the democrats need this and so do we Mccain wil just carry on buShs ways dont beleive him when he say he wont
@ Common Sense
Again you’re a fountain of tainted misinformation. Who determined that processing ethanol was less cost-effective than fossilfuel? The Bush administration appointed fact-finding group, who i mentioned before are part of the big three oil corporations – Translation: Objectivity, fact and truthh was thrown out the window along with the electric car.
i know im gonna get a lot of flack from this but does any body know about revelation prophesis ……. i dont like the way mexico depicted him.. and im gon leave it as that.
somebody will pick up on it.
@Marquis de Sade
Hi, Marquis. Have a great weekend.
sprint and the obama team can get it on and POPPIN , i never peeped how when i turn my phone on it says YES YOU CAN !
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE STOP CALLING OBAMA A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE HE IS NOT. A CHRISTIAN DOES NOT SUPPORT THE MURDERING OF 4,000 BABIES A DAY.BUT I KNOW THAT DOES’NT MATTER TO YOU RACIST BLACK FOLKS, AS LONG AS HE’S BLACK,RIGHT????
I just admire this guy, Bossip is right the entire world is looking at Obama, I am in the Caribbean and we are all rooting for him.We are so proud and all the hater should really step off.
Philly03
You do not need to put your comment in caps. I am black and I take offense to your statement. Please tone it down. You grouped all blacks together and your statement is far from correct. By the way who are you voting for and why? Do you have black friends and if so do they agree with your *****umption? If not you should focus on yourself and not post racist comments.
@ Sweet Sydney
You too O’ radiant one
and a true chritian does not go around judging, i get sick and tired of radical christians who use religion as a fprm of hate and discrimination. truechristians do not do around calling people names. it irks me when those types of poeple call themselves true chritians.
excuse typos please
When you guys respond to people like “Common Sense” and “Bo” and “JJJJ” (who may very well be the same person). It seems to get blood pressures boiling followed by MANY POSTS! Kinda like the Kim K posts. (wink wink)
Im not about to get into any arguments on here regarding Obama. If you love him (like I do and many others) then thats our business. If your dumb***** thinks he is the AntiChrist or he has no experience then that is your opinion as well. And I hope Im not being disrespectful with this comment but Obama is fine as hell and especially in this pic…DAMN!!! BTW…..John McCain’s is broke down and too old. His jaw annoys me to no end. And I cant wait until they debate cuz John McCain has ZERO charisma and Obama will eat his ***** up!
@innocent bystander…..IM LOVING THE SLOGAN!!!
OBAMA ‘08 YES WE CAN, YES WE DID AND YES WE WILL
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
bunch of idiots clinging to false hope an unproven senator has given them.
LMAO @ OhLaLa
His jaw annoys me to no end.
_______
I find myself staring at that damn thing, too!
LOL
OH LALA IS THAT COMMENT FOR ME .. I HOPE NOT .
@Lauren
We do not have to feed the plants.
@McCainsha
We’ve got 6 months of McCain plants to deal with on Bossip. Here is McCainsha to set it off the bull*****. I must say McCainsha you are weak and way too transparent. The Ron Paul and Hillary plants were far more entertaining and engaging. You’re just dismissable.
I repeat:
@McCainsha
Please enough with the antichrist propoganda. It’s not working here and you cannot steal our joy for Obama’s triumph. Open your mind and stop watching those those ridiculous youtube propaganda videos. And if the world does end in 2012, I’ll go out happy Obama made it to the white house before it happened.
Obama 2008!
Yes we did, can, and will!
BOSSIP, why haven’t you guys done a story about the CLINT EASTWOOD AND SPIKE LEE RIVALRY? Y’all need to fire your staf…ASAP!
SEE WHAT PEOPLE NED TO REALIZE IS … politics Sports and Religion are disscussions/ arguments that never have a conclusion , no one will win. becuse everybodys canidate is beter then the other , team/players better then the others,my God is right and yours is wrong ….
holly wood they did
hollywood they did .
ANd another question is why is this picture photoshopped.
that is unatural light on his cheeks.
umjussayin shut up you bird
I DONT KNOW…WHO ARE YOU???? ITS FOR WHOMEVER IT APPLIES. IM NOT PAYING ATTN TO NONE OF THE DUMB***** COMMENTS MOST OF YALL POSTING NO WAY SO ITS WHATEVER………..
Barack Obama 2008
I love Barack, Michelle and the girls. Pray for their continued safety.
People, please don’t let these fools steal our thunder. They are just shakin in their run-over cowboy boots and saggy dirty draws. Everyone said the same thing about George Bush as being the “antichrist”. I’m sure people thought that JFK was the antichrist also. Anyone who doesn’t fit the “mold” seems to get folks tied up in knots.
If you read the Bible, the “Antichrist” depicts the picture of someone from the Catholic Church who will become the “antichrist.” There are way too many parallels in Bible and between what’s going on in the Catholic Church today.
And Google REALLY needs to get it together. When you type in antichrist, it asks if you mean “antichrist obama”. SMDH?
@EVERYONE
Didnt this race bring a ‘BUNCH OF RACIST’out the closet. I havent seen this many ‘RACIST’ since i left West Virginia.
LOL@AT CNN SHOWING HILLARY SUPPORTS CRYING SO HARD THEY LOOKED AS IF THEY WERE GONNA P***** OUT….WTF???
When Senator Obama gets Elected, well…. A World Famous Poet by the Name of George Clinton said it best:
“ONE NATION, UNDER A GROOVE.”
Obama O8 AND 12
THE RACIST NEVER WENT ANYWHERE. ITS SAD TO SAY THEY HAVENT BEEN MAKING MUCH NOISE LIKE THEY DID BACK IN THE DAY WHEN BLACKS STOOD UP AND WAS A PROUD RACE OF PEOPLE MARCHING FOR THEIR RIGHTS TO SIT ANYWHERE ON A BUS AND TO ATTEND THE SAME SCHOOLS. ITS SAD TO SAY THAT WE’VE BEEN DOING SO MUCH DAMAGE TO OUR OWNSELVES SO THEY JUST SAT QUIETLY IN THE WINGS BUT NOW WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF HAVING A BLACK PRESIDENT SO THEY ARE SHOWING THEIR *****ES NOW. WHEN HE GETS ELECTED, SOME PEOPLE THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT WERE RACIST IS GONNA SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS.
I’m not trying to be funny…but what in the ***** has Obama done to deserve those accolades…I mean, really…what?
Damn…once again…selling ourselves for some glitter and fake gold…
Love it silver lol
One nation under a groove yeah!!!
common sense your a dumb*****
wanna know why?? because your close minded
for example
you clowned obama for his talk of alternative fuels
and then your dumb***** talks ethanol as a failure
who said obama was talkin ethanol?? this is america…new ***** comes up every year…i didnt have an xbox 360 and worlwide internet when i was 5 ya dumb*****
its called science and invention
now go play with your morse code machine ya *****head
SOME OF YÄLL MAKING ME SCARED!!! I”M “GOING TO CHURCH IN_DA_MONING!! LOL
I think this primary showed money cant buy you nothing and your words matter and comp*****ion does
Obama brang inspiration Hilary was a political puppet sounding like she knew it all
@Lala11_7>>>People have their reasons for admiring Obama just like people admire Hillary, so much to the point where they may not vote their own interests because she didn’t win. However, this is the first time in history that a black man has made it this far in politics. That’s progress. Is he a savior? No, but he represents change, and let face it, this country needs it right now. Lord knows we want Bush out of office quick, fast and in a hurry. Who would’ve thought a year ago he would’ve made it this far in a country that is no doubt racist. People are sick of the status quo. I love Obama because I agree with many of his policies and his vision. This is a man that fought through all the trials and tribulation and became the first black nominee of a major party. That’s something, in my opinion, to rejoice about! You may or may not like him, and that your prerogative, but as for me, I’m proud of the man and will vote for him come November. Just my opinion.
Well ill go out on a linb and say if by some chance Obama does not wim ILl blame Clinton for a good part
Tune in tommorow they say 11 am and lets all pray that she will do the right thing AMEN!!
@John Im already praying lol lol lol
Thats what we shUOld be telling Clinton tonight
DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!!
LMAO @ this monkey lipped grease ball “philly in da 323″
you ignorant african. just the fact that you compared video game production to researching ethanol is enough to show what a dim wit you are. and this is why this country has gone to *****, we grant monkeys like this moron the right to vote.
Pull out your check books, debit and credit cards and donate to Obama’s campaign. The Republicans just raised $45 MILLION in May alone. It’s about to get U-G-L-Y!
http://www.BarackObama.com
I’m not trying to be funny…but what in the ***** has Obama done to deserve those accolades…I mean, really…what?
Damn…once again…selling ourselves for some glitter and fake gold…
—————–
raising obvious questions like that makes you a “hater” and a “racist.” american voters= dumb as dog *****.
Philly 323 is a beautiful and intelligent black man. I admire his perspective and wit. Don’t come on bossip projecting racist insults at my brothers.
selling ourselves???
dont act like your one of us common sense lol
because everyone can see that your not
a hateful pig sticks out like a sore thumb on bossip
hey wtf…..i changed my gravatar 2 months ago
and its jus now switchin….interesting
@>>>Common Sense, you are very salty and are fighting a worthless cause by insulting people. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYONE’S MIND SO STFU! You come on here insulting people (Lauren, Philly, and I’m sure me after you read this) because we don’t agree with your views. Grow the hell up and quit acting like a damn baby. We are voting for Obama b/c we want to, so get over it. You sit behind a computer talking crap, but I guarantee you wouldn’t say this crap to anyone’s face. I’m out so don’t even think about replying because I won’t spend my energy reading your nonsense.
BARACK OBAMA
5 dots I think we can win this on a song lol
but donations can be good but peepe should give in person at local dem centers
peole talk aboy worring about Obama well being im not as much worried about that as if voting centers cant handle the traffic or what we has in past whispers are already around them voting centers need to be in top form or a heck will probaly break lose
I dont believe until I see it! Until then I am not voting for *****ody!
damnnn did you guys watch the news today
some white guy in conneticut is being held on 100,000 bail
he had bomb making equipment in his home…and *****ualt rifles
and written notes with barack obama’s name all over it
the police wont release info on what he was saying or planning
philly dont scare me white people scare me enough
you always see that stero type of white people being scared of a black man I think that crap is totally backwards have you seen court tv! I think I rather get capped by a brotha in tha hood at least you will see it coming it will be fast but a white person will torture your azz then bury you in their backyard maybe chop you in pieces as well I stopped watching that channel lol
sorry if to crude not a racist just some good ole black humor lol
well i sent the article to bossip…youlle prolly see it up here in a second
the police released more info
According to court do*****ents, Gagnon told police that he wasn’t going to allow Obama to become America’s first black president.
Well everyone is so happy and proud, take that and put it into action. The stakes are very high and if we want Obama to win its gonna take alot more than some shuckin and jiviin! Get your a$$es out to register voters, call people that are undecided and convince people that normally don’t vote to do it. Talk to first time voters 18 year old and explain to them how this impacts their lives and how they CAN make a difference. Don’t allow this Nut Job McCain to get into office and don’t let this “support” or “enthusiasm” fade away, its time to put up or shut up, people. Bossip where’s your link to a voter registration website and information????
SMH
lol@ this oily cretin… “philly” and most of the geniuses on here sweatin Obama have no real basis for their support.. they’re going along with the hype because its the “in” thing to do.. like p.diddy’s “vote or die” bull***** a few years back. you’re all idiots, obama is not qualified for the job, but hey he’s black, and he’s not a republican, so u might as well vote for him right? this is what im pointing out, more than obama’s lack of qualification, a lack of choices makes american dip*****s vote for who they “like” more as opposed to voting for the most qualified candidate.
bunch of hoodrats
common you tell a tale that has no merit here and insult the intell of black power hoodrats come on did you get that off a movie Obama has that gift of god and beyond few poltians only dream of that kind of power this day in age has not seen a true voice since the Kennedys that democratic voice that america has bben missing is back he just happens to be black thats alright times change just like blacks got behind the kennedys its time now to get behind this man forget he is black the Kennedys werent either but he brings way more promice then anybody else period
AND AMERICA NEEDS IT
GET UP STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS MArley said it best
Black people dont be ashamed of your own yes we are all americans now but dont be ashamed of who you are its ok
The man has celebrated for years without us ask yourself are we a product of the whoite man he might have made the hood but he cant turn off
sorry deep stuuf tonight my mind is wondering hard to shut off
Dont know about alot here but my creativity is back thank you
LIfe is isnt always about whos doing what or whos wearing what
WE are in the midst of the one of the biggest milestones in american history FFF whos wearing what and go VOTE AND LET US BE HEARD
LIVE ON BOB MAR;EY

I pray to God that O’bama is the CHANGE that will straighten out the mess the Bush and his whole party has made of the world. I hope that he gets us out of this economic decline that we’re in.
Amen!

@Philly in da 323
I really appreciate your posts, even though you never respond to mine. I am also very concerned for Obama and family but I have to think positive. I’ll just say if anything were to happen, America would break this black woman’s heart for the last time. Like someone said upthread, pray for the continued safety of our future president and first family.
Peace, L&A
Hello OBAMA, i am coming to celebrate your inauguration as a president of USA in November.
i will be there in Washington DC.
GOD IS LEADING THE WAY.
Im @ the inauguration….u bets believe dat *****!!!
PHILLY IN DA 323
(Check me out!)
blackwoman…i know you from somewhere
and my memory of this meeting was quite negative
therefore ima leave it at that…
msn can say whateva….my big worry is about obamas safety…man oh man
awwwww thank you. loser
Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, and Macaroni and cheese at the inauguration…YES WE CAN!!!
I told you readers that the world loves Obama. I travel frequently and everywhere I go the discussion is Obama. They want to know all about him. I was in Europe last month and I was told that the Euros Love Obama and I can tell because his pictures were everywhere. I could not believe it. You see the world cares about the people in the US and feels that Obama is the answer to a lot of our troubles nationally and internationally. Since his democratic nomination, the world already sees us in a better light. Just imagine at the time when he does become President. Just look on television at the increase of international tourism ads since Obama won the election. They are all over the place. Some I have never seen before and they are so inviting to Americans. Even the gas prices have gone down somewhat. This is just the beginning in November this country shall reap the full benefits that it deserves. We are the world and the world is telling America thank you for taking that first step in being the true leaders of change and that is a hell of a title to wear. That definitely shows enormous Strength and unity.
America “YOU” are On Your way to greatness once again!!! Let’s continue the fight.
Vote Obama 2008
This article should be on CNN, NSNBC and FOX news call the stations and send emails about world views on the election. I have not seen it on the major news station and this article came from Los Angeles Times Wow!
that is an AWESOME picture of Obama!
@ L&A…
Instead of talking about the real matters at hand (which is the presidency) you very childishly insult me. How mature of you. For your information I am not weak but I am transparent and have no problem admiting so. A transaparent person is a person who is easy to read and keeps it real (hense transparent being see through). Thank you very much. You on the other hand have ignorantly spelled my named wrong on several occ*****ions. All I am stating is my opinion. I have not called anyone names nor verbally abused anyone on this sight I am sorry if you dont agree with my opinion, but I don´t watch youtube nor do I jump to be part of the ¨in¨ crowd (as you have implied). Which I find to be very hypocritical coming from someone who is riding the Obama wagon just for the sake of it. Get your facts straight and instead of insultion me, why don´t you prove to me why(without copying and pasting) you are such a loyal follower of Obama. Take care and have a nice day.
BTW, Hillary is scheduled to make her big speech today at noon in DC where she will endorse Obama. She held a farewell party for her campaign staffers yesterday.
@HF
Hey there
I just read your posts on the Byron Allen thread, and I understand where you’re coming from, but I want you to know that there are sisters, like myself, who love, appreciate and respect intelligent, upstanding brothers. I would have posted this on that thread, but it was a little tense in there, you know? I enjoyed conversing with you in the past few days. Yes We Can 
BTW, do you read Juan Williams’ commentaries? He had one in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal on Obama, Rev. Wright, and race that I thought was accusatory and unfair.
*waving at Marquis*
@Lola
Hey, I keep missing you. Have a great weekend!
american voters are generally ignorant so this fanatical support for obama isn’t surprising. obama is all for “change” omg lets vote for him, he is the bipartisan messiah who will lead the U.S to prosperity not seen since the end of world war II. yet his leftist voting record proves he is anything but “bipartisan.” but with the immediate alternative being john *****in mccain and black people’s “stick it to the man” attitude and general malaise of the last 200 years.. its only natural to vote for “obama” despite the overwhelming reasons to do otherwise. USA FOR THE LOSS!
even more reasons of how stupid people are
obama a combination of “kennedy and martin luther king jr”
wow..
i mean yes of course, obama’s done just as much for blacks as MLK right? what a joke. this country makes me sick, not just because of dumb as dog ***** voters like the lot of you, but the ***** media’s unrelenting hype of this man and the complete lack of qualified candidates for the most important job in the world. lets see a geriatric old man with anger problems or the most inexperienced and unqualified candidate possible. blacks: ***** white mccain he’s white im not voting for him cuz he’s white. he is white, george bush was white and mccain is white so ***** him. whites: obama is black, ***** him, oj simpson was black. a country of idiots.
…Diddy and all those other HRC supporter-losers (Jay Z, etc)who didn’t support Sen. Obama from the get go, are now jumping on his bandwagon and making victory noises everywhere…
…below is MY response to a video blog Diddy made on huffingtonpost.com… I guess Diddy now wants to talk about Sen. Obama…huh?
=================
Sean Combs:
…it is worth noting that neither yourself nor a whole lot of celebrity African American businessmen and artists from New York, including Shawn Carter (Jay Z)… supported Sen. Obama during the initial stages of this race…
…as a matter of fact…you were all FIERCE supporters of HRC…and stuck by her for quite a long time into the race…
…I noted a lot of disappointment in you and these other prominent African American personalities in New York expressed by hundreds of comments on African American blogs such as Bossip.com, etc…
…notwithstanding that your choice of candidate is indeed your right as an individual…I am curious to know just what led to yours and all these others’ change of heart about Sen. Obama…and your subsequent support of him as the most suitable candidate…
…I am one of the few people out there who gets VERY skeptical about people who jump on the bandwagon only after they realize that it is going to win…but who otherwise had very little faith in it from the get go…
…with all due respect, Sean Combs…it appears to me that you and these others I have mentioned above, are part of this group of people…
Obama 2008!
.
the last quote is the best! mccain is another george bush/president….but barack is the CHANGE! YES WE CAN! GREAT POST BOSSIP!!!!
Obama possesses all the qualities of a great president. His ability to build consensus is what will create positive change for this country.
[...] to original article here. Share this [...]
@ Maisha….. And to the people that base their lives, on a book that was written thousands of years ago.
The book, that contains revelations was penned by men. Not God. Fore the creator of the universe, would need no book. The ramblings of the 44 books, that make up your Bible, was written, edited, and distorted by many men, in order to control other men. Men with their own hidden agendas, as men have always have, and always will. More specifically, the book of Revelations. If you read it, and I mean really read it. Then it would become clear to you, that it was written by a man, that seriously needed psychological intervention. Men write history, not God.
But mostly, the history that men write is highly disordered, and flawed. And yes, I am a Catholic, and have attended mostly, Catholic schools my whole academic carrier. I saw through the bull, by the time I was 12. Grow up, and stop living your life to a book. Oh, and by the way, Nostradamus, was a well known heavy drug user. However that is something that was omitted, form your history books. So to hell with history, past, present, or future. Things happen on a random basis, that is not romantic, or spiritually meaningful enough for most, but true none the less. You see extraordinary claims, need to be supported by extraordinary proof. The book that you, and your like live by, was written by mere men, just mere men. (Sorry but true.) ARTOFWAR.
Oh get real, white folks still run the world. Do you really believe that they would turn it all over to a black skinny kid from Chicago. I like Obama too but lets get real here. He is useful to the power elite now that Bush has messed things up, but lets not get carried away with the new change crap. We have been just given another gl***** of kool aid. Wake up.
Admittedly, I am not a big prayer. But I will join a prayer circle for this man!
@Ross
White folks run the world because we admittedly give them the power to do so.
It happens -
When our children don’t want to study far less go to school.
When our people a forming gangs and killing people over stepped on and scuffed sneakers, drugs and turf
When we are not establishing our own business.
When we refuse to support our own businesses, communities
When we take welfare checks and have no will to go out there and find a job, go back to school or do better in life.
When we continue to live this crab in the barrel lifestyle. While other races believe in helping their own.
When we throw our hands up in the air and say McCain is going to win, instead registering to vote, going to vote or spreading the word about a candidate we believe in.

_________________________________________________
Look *****, I don’t owe you political correctness nor kindness. Riding the Obama bandwagon for the sake of it? Child, please.
Firstly I am a married mother educated, published, well noted, and a Black Republican daughter of Frederick Dougl***** who even volunteered a few times for Ron Paul and have many family members and friends who are die hard McCainers and Clintoners.
But I dear, I own my own voice and truth and I love my people dearly and humanity on a whole and I know and have always known from when Obama took the stage at the Democratic Convention in 2004 that he is the now and the then and the future.
Obama is the absolute best candidate for the next President of the United States. For almost a year I have been devoted to volunteering, with my two kids, one in the stroller and one in the back pack, going door to door for Obama and in between housework, meal preparation, laundry, homeschool, playdates, errands, and exchanging on Bossip, I phone bank tirelessly for Obama.
I am a woman, a black woman of conviction, and I brush off any intended offense from a silly and sad McCan’t sheeple like yourself.
And the only time I ever considered voting for McCan’t was to spite liberal racism as so cruelly perpetuated by Billary during her just plain horrendous campaign. That is all McCan’t would be good for to landslide Billary in the event she stole the democratic nomination.
If McCan’t by any means of foolery wins in November, my husband and I have the means and will to move to Canada. I’ll be damned if any of children will ever be obligated to be a draft puppet, especially never for an unfair and unjust and ungodly war such as in Iraq.
I, nor any other Obama supporter, owes you an explaination of Obama’s plans and policies or why we support them. Get off your lazy Mcsheeple ***** and go to Obama’s website and educate yourself.
Now, you are not my friend, family, nor sister in struggle, so kindly and respectfully and for the last time ***** Off and find another McCan’t sheeple to help you carry old man onto the stage to concede in November.
I have nothing more to say to you. Don’t har***** me. Don’t ***** with me. Stop hanging on my bra strap as we used to say back in the day and take your “have a nice day” and shove it up your blind Mcsheeple *****.
Obama 2008-2016!
Yes We Did, Can, & Will!
–Lovely & Amazing
whoa…what did I walk into?
Everyone is entitled to their own opionion. If you don’t like the candidate, then why bother commenting? Arguing accomplishes nothing, and can lead to disrespect. I really don’t think we should waste time or enery arguing with delusional naysayers. Ignore ignorance
PEOPLE MOMENTS AGO HILARY CLINTON JUST GAVE HER SUPPORT TO BARACK OBAMA!!!!
Good For Her!
@ ARTOFWAR
Where have you been? In case you are not on Bossip around that time, I am wishing you, your Queen and better half, and your so dearly adored son a very Blessed and Happy Fathers’ Day.
Peace,
Lovely & Amazing
the way hilary did it…wasnt strong or emotional enough
and she didnt directly address the “jump-ship” supporters in her ranks
now it doesnt hurt that he is a handsome man as well! I hope he can improve americas economy, the situation in iraq, not to mention the school system in america is suffering.
Go Obama, Bush deff left quite a mess for him to clean up!
every website i go
cnn
msnbc
yahoo
its all negative comments about obama
from hillary supporters….to republicans
to str8 up angry white folk and messycans
its like damn….how did he get so far with so much hate
Lol@ negative comments about Obama being “hate”
sure, its not being objective, its hate.. stupid motha *****a.
and hahahah@ “L&A” typing that angry paragraph, you stupid *****, *****ody cares about you or your piece of ***** kids.
“i volunteered to braid hair and i liked ron paul” hahahah get a job ho
Of course I’m angry when people spread propganda that Obama is the antichrist and the sign of the end of days?!
Everyday Obama is risking his life for his journey to the white house. And propoganda like that fuels the dangerous ignorance projected at him.
And to call his supporters who have donated and worked hard bandwagoners and then dare them to prove his worth is angering.
Have you volunteered, met volunteers who have given their heart and soul to Obama’s campaign even before m*****es believed. It is so absolutely wrong to insult a man who has taken upon himself and his family to lay a blueprint for change in this country.
Why do these people feel they can attack Obama and his supporters and that we will not defend. I’ve spent months reading anti-obama posts that are vicious on these boards in their racism against Obama.
You have extremely ignorant people taking this antichrist crap to heart and they direct serious negativity at Obama from that place. You don’t have to support Obama but to create false mysticism and a prophecy about him is so off base.
Obama is not the antichrist. He is not Christ. He is not supernatural. He is not the Messiah. He is great man, but no more no less than a human being, who has undertaken a tremendous and historical journey for his country and its people.
And, IMHO, for that he shouldn’t be painted, inferred or regarded at the epitome of evil.
SMDH…L&A…You´re pathetic…you answer my post by insulting me and calling me a *****…how very grown up of u…Ur sitting here on your computer cussing people out over a man u don´t even know (that kind of attitude makes people less likely to want to here ur arguments) relax and get a life…u are the opitomy of a hoodrat…someone comes to you with knowledge and u choose to curse at them instead of responding civily…it obvious that u are ignorant and the sad part is u know u are and refuse to change it…u believe in obama so much and his ideas of change yet u refuse to get out of the ghetto mentality…relax, it wasnt like i was talking about ur babyS fatherS…
@ArtofWar
I am grown and am entitled to my own opinions. I a very confused by yours though. One moment you state that u are catholic and the next you are saying taht by tha age of 12 u saw through all the bull***** of religion. Which is it? I dont degrade anyone for being different than me i just simply put up my opinion. Thanks for providing me with other facts which i didnt know (such as that of nostradamus).
Lol.. obama lames see any criticism directed towards their hero as “hatred” or “racism”
stupid motha *****as. ive never been on that anti-christ conspiracy theory bull*****, and all i’ve pointed out here is how unqualified he is for the position he’s campaigning for. but i’m a “hater” and a “racist” lol *****in jack*****es. i hope he does get elected so all these ignorant monkeys see how stupid they were in their blind support of “obama”
thanx friend
@ truth hurts
i hope he does get elected so all these ignorant monkeys see how stupid they were in their blind support of “obama”
——
why does it have to be blind support ? because the support is for Obama? who are you endorsing for the next presidential election? are you upset that Billary didnt get the dem nom? i will tell you why Obama has gained the affection of many Americans.. it is a thing called hope. Everyday hope is something that all Americans do whether black, white, hispanic or whatever .. so what better way to unite all parties than offer this thing? I for one, am hoping for a better, stronger America. We as a country need that. I can not in good conscious live upper middle cl***** and see so many people struggling. Obama has a long history of helping the disadvantaged and im not just talking about black people. Hope unite a great number of Americans if we all can get over this man’s skin color.
truth hurts has an agenda
ignore him
there was a report on nbc on a group of spammers being paid for operation BLUR THE LINES
they are trying to spread rumors that hilary would be just as quick to be mccain’s VP as Obama’s
and telling people remember she was republican 20 yrs ago
they are trying to blur the lines of what is a republican and a democrat….to avoid answering for direct policies come election
OPERATION : BLUR THE LINES
goal: to soften the image of john mccain by suggesting hilary clinton would run as his running-mate. When there is no question over policy it makes it a simple choice of Black guy/White guy
and they are betting on good ole fashioned racism
L&A…you are so tired…no one is harrasing you…u are the one who decided to write a whole damn story explaining yourself…and for your information i dont agree with any of the candidates…especialy as hell not mccain..so get ur facts straight and stop jumping to conclusions…you have failed miserably at this argument because u still have not proved to me why u like Obama…which brings us back to point A…you ARE in fact riding the bandwagon…talk to people like human beings and maybe will acutally listen to you…smh
What I don’t get are the racist remarks directed at and the streotypical and racist presumptions of Obama supporters.
“Baby Daddy”? I don’t have a babydaddy I have a husband and was married years before we planned our first child.
“Ghetto”? Actually, I was not raised in a “ghetto” and I don’t live in a “ghetto”, and by ghetto do you mean an urban center with a predominate black population and why is that regarded as “less than” or automatically presumed “ignorant”?
McCainsha and Truth Hurts are mean people for the sake of being mean and the only reason they come to pro-Obama Bossip is to insult Obama and his supporters.
Why not go to the many anti-Obama sites and engage with those of like mind? I am convinced you both are white, in support of or working for either the former Hillary camapaign or McCain’s campaign.
The fact that you refuse to see any positive qualities and cannot even recognize even some goodness in a man like Obama is evidence that you are not here for dialogue, only to turn our eyes away from the prize.
I am not sorry I cursed at you because you’re mean and deserved it. But I am sorry I permitted myself to engage and be distracted by you.
At least consider being socially responsible and express your disagreement and lack of support for Obama without spreading inaccurate and dangerous propoganda. He is first a human being, a man with a family, and deserves at least that consideration.
I’ll need to find another blog to exchange with Obama supporters because Bossip boards can be so painfully inflamatory and toxic. My loss, because I enjoy reading Bossip. My gain, because I’ll have peace of mind. I want Obama to win and will preserve my energy to give my all to his phoenix rising.
Peace to all the good people I’ve met on Bossip.
Obama 2008-2016!
Yes We Did, Can, & Will!
He is going all the way!
omg, they really airbrushed the ***** out of him.
I’m so glad you didn’t put that “Makin it Rain on them Hoes” bull***** above his picture. I can’t stand it when y’all do that *****. It’s tacky. I’m sure he would agree. It would be different if it were Jesse Jackson or some ***** like that.
(truth hurts) is a dumb mother*****a. fall the hell back and kick rocks with your lame ***** talking that dumb *****. (maisha) go sit with truth hurts in the i need to shut the hell up corner. cause you dont even know your *****. stop reading the enquier and and pick up something real. i dont knownhow many times the world was suspose to end but damn shut up. truth hurt dumb talkin about he dont have experience. who has had experience ever prior to taking office. dumb *****.
common sense need to just staple his foot in his mouth. whjat are you trying to prove. nothing. you aint saying *****. SHUT UP

@ lauren

@ lauren

so lauren maybe we can get together and talk politics sometimes. maybe over a cup of coffee
@ lauren
get IT WITH YOUR SEXY *****….sorry for the typos but yeah….u could though…not being disrepectful with but you could though!!! lmao
I have a couple of questions. First of all, I am politically conservative (voted Republican since ‘92). Have been called a sell-out, house *****, delusional, confused, oreo, white boy, zebra, wannabe and many other names, so please don’t waste my and your time by doing it all over again. I ask these questions because I am curious as to how other people think.
With that said, what are the major policy differences between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton? Notice I said POLICY differences. As far as I could tell, their policies are almost identical. I understand that their personalities are drastically different. So if you like Sen. Obama based on his personality, and dislike Sen. Clinton for the same reason, I get it. Yet, policy-wise, aren’t they essentially the same?
Second, what kind of experience does Sen. Obama bring to the world stage? We are talking about dealing with world leaders who could very well take advantage of someone with no experience.
Third, what do you think would happen if we pulled out of Iraq before the job is completed, and how would that be beneficial to America?
Fourth, since voting for a Black presidential candidate is considered incredibly historic, why didn’t many Blacks vote for Alan Keyes when he ran for the presidency on two different occasions? I don’t think it’s about color… I think it’s about Liberalism.
Lastly, do ALL of you think that socialism will work in any free society? As far as I can tell, Sen. Obama’s (and Clinton’s) policies are borderline socialism.
To be honest, I don’t know what kind of answers to expect from most on this site. Additionally, I will most likely vote for McCain this year (even though he is not as conservative as I would like). If McCain doesn’t get my vote, The Constitution Party will (which opens up another whole discussion about “wasting” your vote). Of course, your answers will spark more questions (from both me and you). Thank you for your time and possible responses.
Pierce
as i read many people’s statements in here it is very upsetting, digusting, and disappointing. if you do not like a certain candidate there are no reason for you to put down those that do. just state what you like about your own candidate. everyone who supports bo must remember he needs people of all races to vote for him, so when you start calling a whole group racist it is not fair nor accurate. bo says he wants to bring all races together, so then why do we (some of obama supporter) say some tings that are negative. this comment does not relate to everyone.it is very disrespectful for someone to actually call a married woman who seems to dedicated her husband and children ad community a ho. that is just plain wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! please people learn how to respect one another. how can we as a people expect to go far when we cannot so something as simple as respecting one another despite their political affiliation. i personally think hillary did a great job in endorsing obama, but has more work to do. i will leave it at that.
Please do not refer to white females as “ladies”. The term lady denotes a type of behavior or status. I hear so many Black women refer te themselves as verything but LADY. Please do not demote yourselves and exalt males of another race. I ‘m just saying
Lol @ “truth hurts is a secret government operative please dont read what he posts he will brain wash you!!!!! blur da linez!!!”
philly323 you lip puckering homosexual, im not vouching for ANY candidate you stupid *****, mccain is just as unfit for the presidency as obama is. *****in ugly paranoid monkey
LOL @ PIERCDBRUH
don’t expect a straight answer from these idiots, because since you’re not posting pro-obama you’re either a hater, a racist, or as u noted an “uncle tom”
speaking of similarities between candidates, John Edwards and Obama are basically identical in their policies.. identical.. further proof that this is a popularity contest. if obama was a cracker (i.e john edwards) *****ody would give a *****.
then if your not voting for anyone
WHY THE ***** ARE YOU HERE
if you want us to not like obama…who do you want us to like
give us yoru gameplan so we can agree with it
therein stroking your ego…and you fly away like the gleeful satisfied little ***** you are
your real tough on the internet…
@ Truth Hurts
LOL! Race-based voting? Considering all the prior President-Elects are/were white for the past 200+ years, I hope you and your ilk are typing your bull***** with your tongue tucked firmly in your cheek…Or maybe, like most insecure/intimidated white males (or) whatever, you’re just another fan of the status quo. But hey, let me make it easy for you. If you have a problem with Obama, howabout focusing on his “WHITE HALF” of his heritage…Afterall, you’re not racist are you? George Bush Jr. didn’t have experience, neither did Bill Clinton…And as I stated yesterday, this is the first election since 1952 where the candidates are not in*****bents. Your argument regarding “EXPERIENCE” or a lack thereof doesn’t hold water. So lets’ be honest – Your beef with Obama can only be interpreted as “RACE-BASE”. Get over it!
lmao@ marquis
and because my man obama is so clean (no dirt)
they struggle to use punchline words
this one hilary website called him…and i quote
a “flim flam con-man” lol
he does “old school chicago style politics”
wtf does old school chicago gotta do with ***** lmaoooooo ….tha sso funny how it sounds bad but doesnt mean anything
cuz its “old school chicago” the old white lady gets scared
sounds like some gangsta ***** lol
we flim flamin and old schoolin up in here
mccain betta watch out
He is a great black man. Love him very much. Lots of my online friends on blacklatinmeet.com love him too. You can share your ideas with them if you want. It is a servious interracial dating service.
ITS CRAZY COZ IM IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WHEN NEWS BROKE THAT OBAMA HAD WON THE NOMINATION THE WHOLE OF JOHANESBURG WAS CELABRATING….AND IN THE MOTOWAY THEY ARE CARS WITH STICKERS THAT SAY YES WE CAN
check out my blog http://www.joeystacks.blogspot.com. Democrats and Republicans both need to look forward to one of the biggest elections in history.
In my opinion Ghetto mentality isnt about being raised in primarily black neighborhood. I was raised in East New York (brooklyn) and now live in another part of Brooklyn and I am not ghetto. I love my black people and do not try and put any of them down to uplift myself. On that note I would just like to apologize to everyone who misinterepreted what I said earlier, although I am not apologizing for my opinion and my beliefs. This is not a personal attack on Obama, I am just a skeptic and I find a little wierd that so many people seem to be in blind support(this isnt an attack on the people who actually are in support of Obama and know his policie but there are some who dont) for Obama. I have been traveling throughout latin america (the carribean, central and south america) for over six months and once they know i am from the states and because I am black they start asking me and jubilating about Obama and many of them dont even know what he stands for. For a lot of people Obama himself (being black) is a symbol of Americas progression, not necessarily his beliefs. And that is what I am trying to say, that majority of people are just on the bandwagon. I am not voting for anyone(especially not McCain (aka Bush jr.), so please stop referring to me as a McCain sheeple or whatever because that is false) this year because I am not in agreement with either one of the candidates and especially not the voting system, whic is designed to confuse us and make us think our vote counts. If you guys really research how they count votes, you will see that our votes (the citizens) are the last to be counted and are of the least importance (and are used to put our names in the jury duty pool). The last election I voted as an absentee (along with many others, who werent in their home state) and before they could even count all these votes or whatever they already named Bush president (because of some other type of vote). As we all know they rigged those votes last term and they can just as easily do it again. Now I would like to ask again, can anyone explain some of Obamas policies to me. Thanks.
I’m waiting for someone to answer the amazing questions brought forth by Piercdbruh. Because he is SPOT ON!
So because Stevie Wonder said it, I guess we all better get out there and support Obama. Because Stevie’s the authority on political topics. Come on people. So *****ing what….who cares what Stevie says. If he were supporting Hillary, he’d be an uncle tom. Vote for who you want to vote for…but please don’t take your political cues from celebrities.
@maisha,
I agree with you 100 percent. People should do their research instead of just jumping on the bandwagon.
But *****s won’t do their homework, which is why after the 5th debate, I knew Hillary didn’t have a chance at all. The media contributed heavily in getting Barack the nomination. And *****s didn’t help one bit. Instead of challenging him, *****s spoon fed him. He could do no wrong and even when Senator Clinton stumped Barack several times, *****s still wouldn’t open their eyes to the bull*****. I have no faith in Obama. I’m not hating because I’ve met him and I think he’s a nice person. Unfortunately we don’t need nice right now….we need political awareness and know how. Come in and do the job and restore the economy. It amazes me when brothers say, “Well you know um he’ll be a little better than Bush”. Are you *****ing kidding me? Bush was horrible. *****s would rather have someone in the office a little better than Bush? So *****ing retarded. So I’m voting for Nader. And in the words of Biz Markie, “I’ll see ya later”.
In regards to Piercebruh question, yes he’s right. Policy-wise, Clinton and Obama platforms (for the most part) are interchangeable, that being said, what does McCain bring to the table other than continuing Bush’s current Iraq agenda. Now if you’re happy with the way this country has been ran for the last seven year, then more power to you. What i find ironic Pierce’s wish that McCain was more “CONSERVATIVE” in what way? – Fiscal responsibility? Since 1776, the U.S. has ac*****ulated a national debt of $9 trillion – Over half of which was incurred when a Bush was in office…When you factor in Reagan, over 70% of the national debt was created under just three republican presidents. What’s more, they didn’t even try to restrain spending! Out of the 19 submitted budgets, only two were balanced! So here’s my question: Where did the myth of GOP fiscal responsibility come from?
…And now you want to throw in your support for this geriatric warmonger, who has yet to give a voice to this country’s looming economic recession, but is intent on depleting what’s left of a non-existent budget on a war that was started on a false premise?
Piercdbruh – my thoughts:
context: black – female – canadian
1) policy
Yes, Clinton and Obama are ridiculously close on policy (health care, removing tax cut for that higher income brackett, Iraq, etc.) & I think especially because of that, it becomes easier to back either candidate based on personality (b/c you do not have to sacrifice policy that you consider sound to go w/ the candidate you think better embodies “Presidential” qualities (those extra tidbits you want to see IN ADDITION to intelligence, leadership, forethought, organization, ability to execute, experience) – SO Clinton v Obama became a sort of battle of the personalities
2) experience
The type of executive experience that comes closest in my mind is being a governor and neither candidate (McCain nor Obama) has had that experience. However, as for Obama
- IL state senate
- US senate
***the argument would be how and to what extent his role in the two positions above have prepared him for the Presidency – I honnestly could not tell you, b/c I find it difficult to *****ess how proposing bills, attempting to get them p*****ed, working w/ other congressmen (dems + repubs), and holding positions on committees translates into the “experience” that some want a candidate to have BUT I believe it does qualify though I am unclear again to what extent. I am willing to say though, that I would like to see committee involvement which is the case: arms services (Clinton), foreign relations (Obama), etc.
3) Iraq
spending – lives of troops – problematic that went in in the first place – there is just too much wrong w/ Iraq policy so every solution now sucks
- remove Sadaam and leave a power vacuum w/ three main groups who are not buddies: Sunnis, Shi’ites and Kurds (great move for the road to stability in the region)
- do so w/ an expectation that US presence would not be protracted (who thought that one up)
- will there be a good time to leave? I cannot call when OR whether the three groups I named will be able to live in a state together under some democractic model that we envision – My understanding is that the foundations that support stable democracies usually take a significant amount of time to build and that organic, natural development as opposed to the speedy forced one usually results in more stability long term
W/ all that said I would not encourage a commitment to stay – the US bungled the thing to begin w/ but I mean does that now require some indefinite presence (I do not think so) – time to exit
4) voting black
People will be elated to vote for a black candidate that they feel is qualified and speaks to some of their concerns. They will not vote for a black candidate that they do not feel speaks to their concerns
*** You did not suggest this BUT I need to say this: I HATE when people say that the black community at large is voting for Obama b/c he is black (Note – your comment clear shows this is NOT the case)
The community is elated that he is black and the individual that they think can do the job
5) socialism
The US has never seen the left (I mean in the international sense) b/c all viable candidates here are w/in a very small range BUT everything is relative so w/in the US I guess the democratic cadidates seems quite to the left
healthcare
***I have issue w/ the statement: universal heathcare does not/will not work
My issue is that the term WORK is defined differently depending on whether you are an opponent or a proponent of the concept AND I think when people argue we need to define terms so that we are all on the same page and reading the same book.
-I see proponents defining WORK as – access to basic healthcare services for the population
-I see opponents criticising that concept w/ the following: will be inefficient: slower (perhaps detrimentally so AND costly (perhaps to the point of crippling the governemt) SO from this I gather WORK = efficient
I could write forever here so I will try to be succint:
Canada: from taxes government allocates a percentage to health care (let’s call it a pool for now) – so they stack money in this pool – In my province (equivalent of a state) EVERY person gets a card – you take your card to the doctor – he slides it and you get your service (general practitioners, urologists, gynocologists, etc.) – some services are paid services (eye doctors, dentists after a certain age) – People still have private insurance from work that covers medication, orthodontist, etc.
Pros
-I do not get bills coming to my house from a million different people after I have surgery – MY gosh when I first wen to the doctor here I was shocked at how inefficient billing was (simplicity usually helps costs stay down too I mean damn)
- basic service is guaranteed for EVERYONE
- I still can have private insurance from work
Cons
- the system can be poorly funded so government must choose to allocate sufficient funds otherwise there will be less doctors and longer waits
***Last thing – I hear this a lot and it concerns me: Why should I pay for someone else’s heathcare -I work hard and I pay for my own, they should do the same
***This statement is why there is resistance to certain socialist concepts – NOT that they would not work effectively (there are very smart people in this country who could put together workable policies) BUT b/c a segment of the population does NOT believe that the policy goal should be a goal (why should I pay money into a pool that creates a healthcare system available to all citizens – why should I pay suppose I only use it once and my neighbor uses it 10 times but he does not work)- ****OH and yeah no candidate was advocating a Canadian style healthcare system I just wanted to let y’all know a simple version of what we do
Tax
- I could not even touch this b/c I would have to talk about tax policy and I would take up too much *****e and I have already written a novella LOL – next time =)
would not mind hearing some thoughts on anything I said
Kids still dying everday in the SouthSide can’t leave the projects. thanks for all your community activism barack
@ Marquis de Sade
I’m not truly a fiscal conservative. Not saying that I have money to burn, but the last 8 years have been pretty good to my bank account. The Bush administration (and Republicans in general) tend to put money in my pockets. Clinton’s 8 years wreaked havoc on me.
When I say conservative values, I am referring to border control, socialized healthcare, marriage sanctity, military spending, gun control and the death penalty. I TOTALLY disagree with McCain on immigration. His position on socialized medicine is pretty much in line with mine. He opposes to gay marriage as do I. His military view is also in line with mine. However, I support waterboarding, and McCain (rightly so) is opposed to it. I support our right to bear arms (to include *****ault rifles) and I’m not sure of McCain’s position on that. I only disagree with McCain on a few issues, but those issues are very important to me. Early on in the Republican race, I was a supporter of Duncan Hunter, and later Mitt Romney.
Obama on the other hand, I am almost totally at odds with on everything. I support the war on terror and in Iraq. He doesn’t. I am opposed to socialized medicine, he is in favor. I don’t think that I should pay for every 12th grade kid to go to college. In my humble opinion, some kids don’t need to go to college. All they will do is waste someone’s (with Obama’s plan, the tax payers’) money. I could go on and on.
Something I find ironic is that most Black church-goers I know voted for Obama. Yet, on many major issues (abortion, gay marriage, right to bear arms) most of them have conservative views.
Thanks for responding,
Pierce
@ Pierce
Don’t you find your rationale kinda self-serving? What about the greater good? With the chasm steadily widening between the rich and middlecl*****, pretty soon, there’ll be no middlecl*****. The cost of healthcare is skyrocketing to the point of strangling small and larger businesses alike…And as far as gays rights to marry or not, it shouldn’t have any bearing on your or my life whatsoever. Hell, heterosexuals doesn’t respect the sanctity of marriage and there’s nothing constitutionally viable to deny gays the same rights as everyone else. They work, pay taxes and worship the same God as everyone else. I realize that socialism would not work in a capitalistic society, but on the other hand i think it would be everyones’ interest to exercise some commonsense and try to find a workable middleground or face the strong possibility of a full-fledge CL***** RIOT in the next ten or so years.
Wow, it is a wonder to me on how so many young people can be so ignorant. Big props to Obama…but the dream ticket is inevitable. The two of them go together like peace and hairgrease. And what some of you might be to let’s call it uninformed to understand…Hill and Obama need each other, so the dream ticket will happen. And now for a moment in educating black people…..If the superdelegates say that there will be a dream ticket there will be one. Unfortunately for a lot of you…you’re too damn ignorant to understand that it is not Barack’s decision alone. So go Obama/Hill and take back that white house!
ok jus 4rom readin all dese comments i realised that common sense really doesnt use his common sense n EXCUSE U JACK*****??? Y U CALLIN SOM1 AN IGNORANT AFRICAN?? u sure are a racist moda*****er!! u said u wasnt white well i kno u aint black either or jus self hatred inside u damn..if it werent 4 dem “ignorant africans” ur stupid ***** wudnt be here 2day…jus by calllin som1 ignorant shows how ignorant u are.i cant believe ppl like u still exist ..n by the way IRONIC NAME lol
Prophetic words spoke of this and it was a long time comming.
What’s up with his haircut? He looks like pikachu
LOOKS LIKE OBAMA BEEN HITTING THE CHRONIC,THATS MY DUDE.
I don’t understand when people say gay marriage affect the sanctity of marriage and for the record obama is not for gay marriage, but he is for civil unions. secondly the reason why many marriages are affected is because of people going outside of the marriage to find instant gratification,. instead off comunicating with their spouse. McCain is a prime example of thatUpon returning from Vietnam, McCain received news that his wife had been in a terrible car accident, which, in subsequent surgery, had led to the loss of inches in height and crippling injuries. The marriage gradually fell apart. After a bit of philandering, he met his second and current wife, Cindy. got this from huffingtonpost and politico
I am proud of Obama but can you use a color picture that doesn’t look like a memorial photo! I see this picture going in my grandkids history book.
I am really proud of Obama. In politics you have to take chances and I’m taking one with Obama. He may not be an old fart like McCain, but I’m tired of old farts. I may not agree with every one of his policies, but he is a better choice than the fossil.
I don’t know why some of you are criticizing black people for voting for a black candidate. Why the hell not? We’ve been voting for white candidates forever. And I don’t think that black people are voting for him solely because he’s black. If that were the case, Jesse would have been president in 1984. Or Alan Keyes in 2000.
Obama ‘08
First of all I what is the point of having someone who has been in office for a long time-McKlan, when they did nothing then and will end up doing the same again. Stop being dumb*****es and voting for McKlan out of spite…why vote for someone just like Bush when look at where we are now, it’s time for change and rather the world ends in 2012 or tommorow so what…just pray and be happy for the days you were here and make the best out of it…give Obama his due whether he wins or not, he has made history b/c not too long ago blacks could not even vote let alone run for president…I pray that Obama wins b/c despite however you feel he can’t be more evil then McKlan…lol
McKlan aka McCain basically is for everything Bush is for, we had to deal with him for 6 years and look how this world has fallen apart, im sick of doing the old thing b/c clearly it isnt working and change (Obama) for the future is what is good for America, it has nothing to do with being black, white, hispanic, etc. it has to do with what and who is best for America and although Obama is black not once did he campaign with just blacks in mind but the people of America so stop fooling urselves that this has anything to do with color the only thing is that Obama happened to be the 1st black man to do it despite all the racism in the world he crossed those barriers
I agree with your comment RoadRunner about black people don’t vote for a black candidate just b/c they are black…i think alot of people fail to see that…u vote for someone b/c you agree with their views and believe them to be the best candidate for the job b/c if Obama’s views were like Bush’s, I would not give him my vote
***** whatcha heard – Even headz internationally know Barack is the ONLY option.
Enough said!!
@ common sense
I’ve been reading the blog entries btw you and a couple of other people. While I can appreciate your views and your differences I have yet to hear who you will vote for and why if anyone at all? It didn’t seem like you like any of the canadites.
On another note….
You guys…we can have debates and differences but when it turns into personal attacks then what’s the point? *****uming that EVERYone is voiting for Obama b/c he is black isn’t a fair *****esment of the people who actually took time to read and follow up on ALL the potenital canadites.
No one person whoever is elected will be able to fulfill everything that they proposed to do. Also when talking about experience…one of the previous bloggers said “no one has experience being the president unless you’ve been president” which is true. They all have areas where the excell more than others but none have experience as being president; so we can all drop that debate.
Common sense you are entitled to your views and your opinions just as well as everyone else.
We can agree to disagree without going to the extent of all the name calling.
I don’t look to Obama as my hero or messiah as you’ve stated in the p***** to other bloggers, but as far as the next potential president, regardless of his race I believe that he is the best person for the job.
*Have a wonderful day EVERYONE and my Jesus bless you greatly*
*…may Jesus bless you greatly*
ooohh I hate typos..lol
i’d hit that…
