One time for the media recognizing STRONG BLACK FAMILIES!!!

**BEWARE!**

Republican’s are going to go above and beyond to keep Obama out of the White House. . .some of you know where I’m going.

Sarah Palin is a fraud!!!! Damn, that woman needs to sit her trailer trash ass down, ohhh! White folk can irritate me!!

I am so in love with Obama’s family. They’re really a picture perfect family I truly admire. Palin’s family on the other hand, I gotta give em props for trying to handle their situation maturely, but DAMN they effed up….LMFAO at McCain and I hope this really blows his chance.

OBAMA ’08…YES WE CAN!!!!!

I can tell you this, “Barrack is going to be the next President.” It’s time for change and its his season.

Anyway, Sarah Palin’s hair bothers the hell out of me!

In just a mere five days, I am sick up to my eyeballs with Palin and her drama. I’m done. On November 4th…let’s draw the curtain on this Sideshow Bob circus act.

People are saying that she needs to be at home taking care of her Knocked up Daughter. Also there is a rumar on the internet saying the the baby she is holding is not hers but her daughter’s first child.

Alaskan igloo trash.

@cmo,

I heard the same rumor about that baby actually being her daugther’s. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised. I feel like I’m watching some bad reality show right now.

I don’t like the idea that these two 17 year old kids are being forced to get married for a damn image..The guy who knocked up Palin’s daughter has stated that he doesn’t want to get married or have children..You have two teenagers who were casually screwing and probably don’t love each other and weren’t in a real realationship being pushed into a fake ass shotgun wedding to protect Sarah Palin’s candidacy..In my opinion the damage is already done why get married?..Just more evidence of the Rupublican hipocraci.

Aunt Viv, reality, comedy, drama show for real, whatch this gon blow up even more – this bubble gon pop real soon!

YES WE CAN – GO OBAMA!

Alaskan igloo trash.

*****************************************************

@Aunt Viv

That’s priceless!!!!

This is going to sell a lot of copies…I’m off to get my own.

@ mz cee,

speaking of bad “reality” shows, this reminds me of season 2 of flavor of love when flav brings back hot mess new york for the huge plot twist. it’s a big deal for a while, great for ratings, but in the end flav chooses deelishus. in short, we’re all talking about sara palin, but the republicans still have no chance.

PALIN’S COVER LOOKS BETTER

Somebody didn’t look really good into that Palin’s hat, did they? She’s got all kinds of funny looking, funny acting and funny smelling rabbits in there.

Barack and Michelle have some beautiful daughters… What a gorgeous family..

I wonder if white people ever get the urge to send young black unwed teen mothers gifts of appreciation…

@Biracial Bombshell-

I agree with you 100% It’s unfortunate that the Palin family is going through this, but I really question the judgement of the GOP. Did they think this would really appease the Hillary voters and undecided independent female voters?

I’m also sick of people comparing the PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE to the VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE!!!! It’s insulting to the Obamas, and to the Palin. The Palin family is being used in the worst way. I’m wondering if the Republicans are trying to throw the election so if Obama effs up, they can run in and “save the day”.

Haha

Perhaps that cover should read:

A Grandmother’s Painful Choice

Great point(What’sYoursIsMine), I have said this all alone. It’s Obama vs. McCain, and Biden vs. Palin. This makes me believe the Republicans are really trying to prime her for being the President. It’s like they know something will happen to McCain.

Why do they have that fugly picture of Barack and Michelle on the cover? I am not feeling that tight lipped steez.

She’s holding her grandbaby on the cover. How sweet. I wonder if her daughter was preggers with that baby when she was getting drunk.

Sarah Palin was pregnant with her oldest child when she got married too.

An apple never falls far from the tree.

Pregnancy is the problem of the girl who got pregnant. She has definitely chosen a more difficult path in life. It hardly seems the responsibility of any parent to take on a grandchild unless they choose to do so. If I were in Sarah Palin’s shoes, I definitely would not give up my job just because my daughter chose to have unprotected sex; therefore, became pregnant. Since her daughter is 17, I would leave the responsibility to the daughter to raise her own child. Being a young mother, I chose to keep my baby at 19 and I did not expect my parents to help me out. I was the one who took on the responsibility. It was also very important for me to tell my child about the the birds and the bees when she became of age. I have no grandchildren yet and I am nearing retirement. We both have our college degrees and have well-paying jobs. So history most times does not repeat if we teach our children to protect themselves and to better themselves.

I am SO SICK of republicans! If one of the Obamas’ daughters had gotten knocked up, the republican party, the Democratic party, and countless critic hounds would have a field day with this. No matter how good OK Magazine and John McCain try to make this look, they have f-ed up and I hope they continue to do so – it makes things better for the Obama camp. OBAMA ’08 – YES WE CAN (in spite of all of the haters, Jesse Jackson, racists, rednecks, and republicans)!

@KB-

I agree with you. I don’t think it’s right to attack the children involved.

What bothers me is how people don’t understand how they’re doing a disservice to themselves, and their children, by teaching abstinence only. I think the Republicans are trying so hard to present a unified front when many people, not the leaders, of course, do not agree with the Palin pick.

My problem with Governor Palin is that she’s the governor of a state that has the highest chlamydia rate in the nation, and also has one of the highest pregnancy rates (and this is not counting their native indian population as they would like people to believe).

When you don’t take actions to prevent pregnancies, you’re losing your populations and tax dollars. Sex education isn’t to encourage sex, it’s to teach you about your bodies. I know plenty of young women who didn’t know they were pregnant, sex education teaches you about the body and the changes of pregnancy. Imagine how many babies can be saved and how many teen mothers (and adult mothers) would receive adequate care in the early stages of pregnancy if they knew. Too many young people have the attitude of “if I pretend the baby’s not there, it will go away”. Imagine how it would change if a young woman, who is uncertain about being in the early stages of pregnancy, was able to go to a clinic and receive prenatal care, instead of not taking the right supplements and not receiving care to insure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

I can’t understand how someone who’s pro-life can be against sex ed. Sex is a part of life, it’s a gift from God, and yes, we all hope and pray that children will wait, but it’s not the reality. The reality is Bristol Palin, Jamie Lynn Spears, Solange Knowles, the list goes on and on. Unless we educate ourselves and our children, we’ll continue to pay the price with their childhoods.

That gift was whack. Straight up and is Jamie Lynn fittin to send pink burp cloths to all the pregnant teens out there? PLEASE

I mean good for OK for trying something new. I really don’t see anything wrong with it.

Am i seeing this right? Is OK on $.50?

@ What’s Yours

LOVE THE GRAVIE!!

LOVE RECESS!!

She keeps pimping out her Down Syndrome baby to the media and doesnt want us to talk about pregnant daughter!

That’s good for McShame thought he was doing something major with his vp pick. oh yeah republicans (using Paris Hilton voice) That’s sooooo Trailer Trashy.

I think these covers speak volumes. On one cover, you have the Pres. Candidate for one party… on the other, you have the VICE pres. candidate.

McCain has NO wow factor. He generates NO interest. I understand why he chose Palin now. Still, the sad fact remains- people vote for the president, not the sidekick.

Octavia and SMDH 2 of the finest women on this blog site/ dayummmmmm now thats how women should look.

Octavia i clicked on u r picture dayummmm girllllll.

@ atworkbored

I couldn’t agree more. Well said!

Btw, I’m personally waiting on Fox News to refer to Bristol Palin as a “babby momma” like they did to Michelle Obama. Now the title actually FITS.

@what’s your right our close mindedness, is a big part of the problem

I think it speaks the American attitude about sexuality. We are very uncomfortable w/any mention of it. As if it wasn’t the most natural thing in the world. The European countries are more open about teaching kids about sex and therefore have less pregancies.

I actually think our close mindedness about the subject leads to a host of other problems in our society, but that is another topic.

@Atworkbored-

You hit the nail on the head!!!!

And let’s be honest, I guarantee you, had the Palin family known their daughter was pregnant, I don’t think they would have let her keep the baby.

BUT because she waited so long to tell them, they tried to force her to marry Levi before they announced Gov. Palin as the VP pick. The daughter wouldn’t go along with it.

I just hate the fact that the media is really comparing this woman to Obama. They are in no way shape or fashion alike. He is running for president and she is running for vp. I think they compare them because the republicans know that mccain has no experience outside being a senator. They use this woman’s status of being a governor and mayor at one point to try and say she’s more experienced than Obama. So why didn’t she run for president then? Anyways they are trying to cover up the fact that McCain and Obama have the same experience as far as being senators and the fact that mcCain wants to use his “war hero” slogan to create even more war.

Aww… schucks.

@I’m Just Me-

Re:my gravatar..

THANKS! I LOVED Recess, and I’m an Ashley, and a tomboy turned glamour girl, so my ex boyfriend in high school used to call me Spinelli.

@Octavia and WhatsYours

Im a bit rowdy this morning. but these media folks be killing me.

I was so glad when i saw one of the CNN chic’s lay into one of McCain’s peeps on Monday. Basically telling this cat, an ideal world, this family stuff souldnt be an issue. BUT THIS AINT AN IDEAL WORLD. again, kudos for obama for not attacking the kids. He just needs to make sure BIDEN dont get nutty and turn this personal. Like he is known to do with smart comments.

@ atworkbored

Yeah. Biden has a slick mouth. I usually enjoy it (esp. when it is aimed at Bush), but hopefully he will respect Obama’s wishes in this matter.

I BET ERYONE WOULD TRIP IF BARACK HADA PREGNANT TEENAGE DAUGHTER NOW SPEARS SENDING GIFTS THEY PROMOTING TEENAGE PREGNANCY?

FOEVER GRINDIN

atworkbored,

Did you watch the Today show this morning where Meredith got on Juliani? She asked him does he think Palin is qualified for the job on such short notice. He said of course you can pick a vp running mate in a day if you ask the right questions and she’s been a mayor and governor so she has more experience than obama and biden put together. Meredith said so that means she has more experience than your presidential candidate as well? He was at a loss of words and all he could say was that McCain is a war hero.

Again this is coming from a man who cheated on his wife and paraded his mistress all around town. He also told his wife on national television that they were getting a divorce and he was marrying his mistress.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, … I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Joe Biden

teens havin babies. sounds familiar

LMAO….@ Teeza 10:03am post you know I think she wears a hair piece and maybe that’s why it bothers you……;o)

Can I just say tho why get excited about the suppost of a family like the Spears support. Hell the whole family is dysfunctional and they don’t even have custody of Brittany’s kids…..hell some folks support you just keep to yourself! ;p

I LOVE the Obamas and just seeing them walk out hand in hand during the convention brought tears to everyone in house eyes! It’s a New day family and “Ain’t no stoppin Us Now!” ;o)

Why isn’t Sarah wearing her wedding ring in her magazine cover shoot????

Palin got played on this one.

Fact

Octavia u welcome cutie/ u will shut this site down wih u r pretty self/ no tranny look for u and u r are smart too. no ugly gravys 4 u/

@eddiedollars215

SO WHAT DO SUPPOSE WE DO NOT VOTE? NO CANDIDATE IS PERFECT OR HAS THE PERFECT SOLUTION.

YES WE CAN !!!!!

I’m preparing myself mentally for Palin’s speech tonight, her big introduction. I still feel like I’m in a dream. . .

Did anyone see today’s Washington Post story on the vetting — or lack thereof — of Palin?

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2 — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not subjected to a lengthy in-person background interview with the head of Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential vetting team until last Wednesday in Arizona, the day before McCain asked her to be his running mate, and she did not disclose the fact that her 17-year-old daughter was pregnant until that meeting, two knowledgeable McCain officials acknowledged Tuesday.

Palin was one of two finalists in the vice presidential sweepstakes who were interviewed last week by former White House counsel Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr., just days before McCain introduced her to the nation as his choice. The other finalist was Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. One of the officials said Culvahouse was chasing down last-minute information about Pawlenty at the request of the campaign as late as last Thursday, the day McCain offered the job to Palin and she accepted.

The new details of the selection process provide a fuller picture of how and when McCain made his decision. Despite the late interview of the little-known Palin, senior McCain advisers said Tuesday night that she was chosen only after a lengthy and deliberative process that included the same background investigation given to others on McCain’s shortlist and considerable debate among the candidate’s inner circle about all his choices.

HEY SYDNEY!

And yes, girl, I saw that! I can’t believe how fast they threw her on the ticket!

Many Republicans, and Democrats, have said they could have picked a better woman to fill the position. Cause that’s all she’s there for, at this point.

~*What the hell is going on?*~

~*YES WE CAN OBAMA 08′*~

In just a mere five days, I am sick up to my eyeballs with Palin and her drama. I’m done. On November 4th…let’s draw the curtain on this Sideshow Bob circus act.

So am I. VOTE OBAMA VOTE OBAMA

Family matters are private; if you leave them private.

My issue is abortion (never had one). It’s my choice. Since family is “so private” let my business about me having an abortion be private, not in the hands of the government! I don’t think there is public funding for abortions so let it come out of my pocket. When it starts coming out of your pocket then I get your point.

Even if you are raped you can not have an abortion. Sarah feels you can only have an abortion if the pregnancy threatens the life of the mother. So you are telling me that if I’m raped, I have to have this pervs child and expect for me and my husband to raise him/her? According to Sarah, that answer would be yes. Please, you (too many times) and your daughter been pregnant to know how emotional it can be. Let alone to be faced with this unwanted child by a rapist. So now we’re going to have a bigger problem with children being put up for adoption.

My second issue is, her daughter is the statistic you try to label everyone else. She’s 17, probably hasn’t finished high school, not married, lives with her parents, and most likely doesn’t have a job. If she wasn’t your daughter she would be the statistic. The only difference between her and other young girls like her is that her family has money. Other than that, she’s no better in my opinion.

Now all of a sudden the boy is in the picture? B**ch please. He just said he doesn’t want children. Now he’s on camera holding her hand greeting John McClain! Thankfully, my parents taught me how to recognize when someone is trying to run game. So now you’re gonna force the boy to be with the girl?

You’re not the average woman next door to me. Who cares that you worked and had a family? The woman next door to me has been doing it for years. And the lady next door to her did it centuries while taking care of your babies too. That working woman protest is old. We’ve been doing it for a long time. Happy to see that you just got on the train.

I’m not impressed. And McClain to pick a woman during this election, I’M NOT IMPRESSED!

OBAMA 08

This is the end of the campaign for McCain…cause everyone is talking about his negatives now. RIP John McCain. He tried so hard to choose a woman and look how it backfired. He’s so old that he just goes on emotion instead of doing his homework. Had Americans not known about this till he got into office, it would have been too late. Thank God Barack Obama will win and we won’t have to deal with bible thumpers who’s high school children are spreading their legs and getting pregnant. ENOUGH!

McSame looks like he forgot to take his meds….

Hey WhatsYoursIsMine! SOrry, girl, but I’m multi-tasking today. . .Yes, the haste with which McCain picked Palin is incredible. I’m frightened. . .

Also came across this today. Everyone, if you haven’t already, please register to vote:

WASHINGTON (NNPA) – Despite record numbers of voters who turned out during the presidential primaries last spring, eight million African Americans are still not registered to vote.

This according to Rick Wade, African American vote director for the Obama for America presidential campaign.

“Our principle focus has been a 50-state voter registration initiative. I think we all appreciate that if we increase the number of African American registered voters and then increase turnout and get people to the polls on Nov. 4, then Sen. Obama will be the next president of the United States,” Wade says.

Wade explains that the eight million unregistered Black voters accounts for 32 percent of eligible Black voting population nationwide.

“In 2004, African Americans made up approximately 11 percent of the overall vote nationwide. If the percentage of African Americans was a mere two-and-a-half percent higher at 13-and-a-half percent, Democrats would currently be running for re-election at this time,” he said. “For example in the state of Ohio in 2004, we lost by two percent or 100,000 votes. There were 270,000 unregistered African Americans. I use that as an illustration to show how the African American vote can make the difference in a state and across this country.So the African American vote can absolutely make the difference in this election.”

Honestly I think its sad. Pride should be a sin cuz sum ppl got to much of it. So she’d rather not abort the baby but you’ll lie and cover up who’s child it really is to make yourself look better. Why deny a child of god? Thats just as bad. Hypocrits, liars and deceivers, they def wont get my vote or a rating on my tv channel. Thats not wholesome and american dream like to me. lol

Damn whatever happened to birth control, when she caught mono or if she even ever had it, i woulda put her ass on it then. And i dont wanna hear that were catholics bull. lol

Hold on, WhatsYoursIsMine! Was this just posted? I know Peggy Noonan is a conservative, but I’ve been reading her columns, and she makes some great points. Let me check this out. Thanks!

To be fair to Bristol’s baby daddy, most boys at age 18 are going to say they don’t want kids. I just feel bad that two teenaged kids are being forced to parade around as a couple to ease the scandal off of the Republicans.

I hope Obama wins, but in order to do so he’s going to still need a large percentage of the white vote. Blacks make up only about thirteen percent of the total US population, so even if every eligible black citizen votes it still wouldn’t be enough to get him into the white house. Even though he seems like a lock to win, he still needs to campaign hard.

I don’t agree with “Harry Potter at bedtime” but I love the Obama family! I could do without Palin on the back though!

ST. PAUL — John McCain’s top strategist today denounced a report in the National Enquirer, hours after it was published, as “disgraceful.”

“The smearing of the Palin family must end,” spokesman Steve Schmidt said in an e-mail distributed to journalists.

The Enquirer, which exposed John Edwards’s extramarital affair, cited unnamed sources in alleging that the Alaska governor had an affair with a business associate of her “fisherman husband,” Todd Palin — the story doesn’t say when — and that he found out and severed relations with the man.

“The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Governor Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false,” Schmidt said. “It is a vicious lie. Governor Palin is the most popular governor in the country. She is a proven leader, an accomplished executive, a champion for ethics reform, and a fighter against corruption. The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it.”

This only adds more to her plate, how can u assume the role of a VP and u have a serious personal issue like this to deal with to home. Its like a comflict of interet thing. You have to educate this young child who is now pregnant, educate the rest of her what is it 4 children, be there for Bristol and the country too? I dont think its the best thing for her to do, i honestly think she can.

Anyone caught on to how this teen pregnancy situation so well illustrates just how STUPID Republican politics are?

Ms. Palin has always been a staunch supporter of ABSINTANCE ONLY sex education in schools.

Yeah – look what that got her! A knocked up teenage daughter! Sarah Palin you are a Dee da dee!

How come no one in the media will point this out this wonderfully executed hypoCRAZY of the far right?

Did anyone see the view,dizzy lizzy was sticking up for this person…i knew it and if it were a dem she would have def been judgemental

@ vegasgal

I’m hearing that obama has not only the black vote but every person of color including chinese, mexican, etc is behind him. If you think of it in those terms it’s safe to say that white folks are def the minority in this country.

Did you guys see Palin’s speech? Horrible. Nothing about coming together–it was so high school and divisive. She fired up the RNC, but her speech is getting slammed by Dems and Independent voters.

Palin is going to be the reason that McSame loses. They are already taking polls about should she resign…Already??? Repuglicans aren’t for everyone… It’s an exclusive party for a select group of individuals..America is browning/ darkening up….Minorities won’t be minorities much longer…It doesn;t have to be about race, but they are making it that way..With the “Bubba–read redneck vote”–30% just can’t see themselves voting for a black man…Have to be twice as good to get half, as far. I don’t like Palin’s argument regarding experience. She left Alaska in a deficit….She never managed anything, except not even her daughter..Family values, McSame’s judgment sucks….Additionally, (the daughter’s boyfriend) is being dragged onto a national stage, his myspace. acct said some kind of foul things..But one was most definitely how he was not ready for babies…This is contradictory in regards to the Values of being “Family Driven”. She (the mom) couldn’t even push abstinence, in her own house…Dad is a convicted felon…DUI’s…Palin herself being investigated for power of abuse, trying to get her sisters-ex husband fired from his job…This is the same thing Kwame is being prosecuted for….Palin’s trash….If you can’t see it, you must not have eyes………

@STEFANY:

Ya know?! All of the speeches were hate-filled and not once did anyone focus on the economy…I really hope indy voters aren’t buying this nonsense.

@SUNSHINE,

The Republican party is building their campaign on McCain’s war veteren status and National Security, I’m not hearing anything about social issues which is why they should not be elected..But I guess when you’re already well off you don’t worry about taxes, gas prices, and education.

best believe if it was Barack kids or his sisters kids it would be a major crime.. and it wouldn’t be a teenage father it would be a baby daddy. see the double standards?

Yup. It was shameful–we deserve what we get if those two radicals end up in the White House. And so true–when you are not worried about gas, food, or healthcare its hard to be concerned about it. SMH.

John McCain doesn’t know a thing about this lady. That will hurt him and that is the reason Barack Obama and Joe Biden will take the White House.

Ok magazine made the correct decision to have the Obama family FIRST!

YES WE CAN!!!!
