I’m proud of this man!

NIKKI!!

oh my

Now that is a legitimate reason to temporarily suspend your campaign.

Its the Foosa, u beat me 2 it!

Is He Cool?

What is Obama thinking in the August 2008 editon of Ebony: The 25 coolest brothers of all time? (In my opinion): Damn I’m cool… it wasn’t long ago that I was the Nerd and now I’m among the top cool brothers of all times… now that’s the American Dream!!! Wow, I do believe that miracles can happen if you just wait on it. Have faith people your future Prince of the White House is on the way. Everything I touch will freeze, icy cold and then melt away, like gas prices, the declining real estate market, green house gases, just hold on… Obama-man is on the way. I can’t take off my shades… my eyes have already begin to turn bionic.

Anyway, I am praying for Miss Toot. (Barack calls his grandmother Toot.)

McCain is GOING TO LOOZE to a black man *** Now thats CRAZy

MCCAIN IS GONNA WIN…EASILY…

“What a man, what a man, what a man! What a Mighty Good Man!”…..Yes He Is

@Hannibal – you will be 1 out of 10 votes that McStupid gets (hahaha)

Obama is such a man! This is a good reason to stop your campaign, unlike McSneaky pretended to stop because he wanted to “help the economic crises”.

@BE

WE ALL KNOW THAT OBAMA IS JUST NOT READY TO BE PRESIDENT…

Best wishes to Obama and his family. . .

(CNN) — Barack Obama’s campaign is set to release it’s own robocall in Wisconsin Wednesday in response to McCain’s ‘sleazy phone calls,’ against the Illinois Senator.

According to the Web site Talking Points Memo, the call features Jeri Watermolen, a former McCain backer who has turned to support Obama because of the McCain campaign’s robocalls which ‘viciously—and falsely’ attack Obama.

“Hi, this is Jeri Watermolen, calling for the Campaign for Change. I live in Green Bay and, like you, I’ve been getting sleazy phone calls and mail from John McCain and his supporters viciously — and falsely — attacking Barack Obama. I used to support John McCain because he honorably served our country — but this year he’s running a dishonorable campaign.”

Script:

Hi, this is Jeri Watermolen, calling for the Campaign for Change. I live in Green Bay and, like you, I’ve been getting sleazy phone calls and mail from John McCain and his supporters viciously — and falsely — attacking Barack Obama. I used to support John McCain because he honorably served our country — but this year he’s running a dishonorable campaign. We know McCain will continue many of Bush’s policies, and now he’s using George Bush’s divisive tactics. In fact, he hired the Bush strategists whose attacks even McCain once called hateful.

Barack Obama will turn the page on these negative politics and stand up for the middle class. That’s the change we need, and it’s why I have changed my mind about John McCain. Join me in voting for Barack Obama. Paid for the Campaign for Change, a project of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and authorized by Obama for America.

I agree with Obama’s move on that one. Family is everything especially when they did good by and for you.

@Hannibal – okay, I do hope you will come to Obama’s victory party…oh you will be busy crying about McStupid…we will still love you afterwards though! LOL

From today’s Wall Street Journal:

WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama has opened up a double-digit lead in the presidential race, with a growing number of voters saying they’re now comfortable with the Democratic nominee’s values, background and ability to serve as commander in chief, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

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

Overall, the poll found 52% of voters favor Sen. Obama versus 42% for Sen. McCain. That 10-point lead is up from a six-point Obama edge two weeks ago. The survey of registered voters, conducted from Friday to Monday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

It’s the largest lead in the Journal/NBC poll thus far, and represents a steady climb for Sen. Obama since early September, when the political conventions concluded with the candidates in a statistical tie.

“Voters have reached a comfort level with Barack Obama,” said Peter D. Hart, a Democratic pollster who conducts the poll with Republican Neil Newhouse.

Seeing his grandparents I wonder how BO came out so dark. I guess the black gene is strong.

WOnder how his other grand momma doing the one they had posted with the rag on her head holding the chicken by the neck with the biggest smile ever. Not too many commercials of how she inspired him.

@ Betty

Have you seen pictures of his daddy? If you have seen pictures of his daddy then you would know that his dad’s genes were mighty strong in that conception.

I wish his grandmother well but notice how there’s never hardly any mention of his “other” family members! I wonder if his “other” grandmother will even be invited to hise inaguration ceremonies?!

@ reddnwood…. the lack of coverage on his paternal grandparents isn’t about race, it’s bc he was raised by his mother and her parents… his father’s parents didnt play big roles in his upbringing.

It’s pretty public knowledge that Obama was raised by his grandmother on his mother’s side for most of his life. He has only met the other grandmother a few times. So it’s not surprising that one has been more influential than the other. It has nothing to do with race people.

I hope his granny gets well and gets to see him succeed!

Hey, Sydney.

Read this.

WASHINGTON – The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.

The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain’s “Joe the plumber” analogy struck a chord.

Three weeks ago, an AP-GfK survey found that Obama had surged to a seven-point lead over McCain, lifted by voters who thought the Democrat was better suited to lead the nation through its sudden economic crisis.

The contest is still volatile, and the split among voters is apparent less than two weeks before Election Day.

“I trust McCain more, and I do feel that he has more experience in government than Obama. I don’t think Obama has been around long enough,” said Angela Decker, 44, of La Porte, Ind.

But Karen Judd, 58, of Middleton, Wis., said, “Obama certainly has sufficient qualifications.” She said any positive feelings about McCain evaporated with “the outright lying” in TV ads and his choice of running mate Sarah Palin, who “doesn’t have the correct skills.”

The new AP-GfK head-to-head result is a departure from some, but not all, recent national polls.

Obama and McCain were essentially tied among likely voters in the latest George Washington University Battleground Poll, conducted by Republican strategist Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. In other surveys focusing on likely voters, a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed Obama up by 9 percentage points, while a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center had Obama leading by 14. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, among the broader category of people registered to vote, found Obama ahead by 10 points.

Polls are snapshots of highly fluid campaigns. In this case, there is a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points; that means Obama could be ahead by as many as 8 points or down by as many as 6. There are many reasons why polls differ, including methods of estimating likely voters and the wording of questions.

Charles Franklin, a University of Wisconsin political science professor and polling authority, said variation between polls occurs, in part, because pollsters interview random samples of people.

“If they all agree, somebody would be doing something terribly wrong,” he said of polls. But he also said that surveys generally fall within a few points of each other, adding, “When you get much beyond that, there’s something to explain.”

The AP-GfK survey included interviews with a large sample of adults including 800 deemed likely to vote. Among all 1,101 adults interviewed, the survey showed Obama ahead 47 percent to 37 percent. He was up by five points among registered voters.

A significant number of the interviews were conducted by dialing a randomly selected sample of cell phone numbers, and thus this poll had a chance to reach voters who were excluded from some other polls.

It was taken over five days from Thursday through Monday, starting the night after the candidates’ final debate and ending the day after former Secretary of State Colin Powell broke with the Republican Party to endorse Obama.

McCain’s strong showing is partly attributable to his strong debate performance; Thursday was his best night of the survey. Obama’s best night was Sunday, hours after the Powell announcement, and the full impact of that endorsement may not have been captured in any surveys yet. Future polling could show whether either of those was merely a support “bounce” or something more lasting.

During their final debate, a feisty McCain repeatedly forced Obama to defend his record, comments and associations. He also used the story of a voter whom the Democrat had met in Ohio, “Joe the plumber,” to argue that Obama’s tax plan would be bad for working class voters.

“I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody,” Obama told the man with the last name of Wurzelbacher, who had asked Obama whether his plan to increase taxes on those earning more than $250,000 a year would impede his ability to buy the plumbing company where he works.

On Wednesday, McCain’s campaign unveiled a new TV ad that features that Obama quote, and shows different people saying: “I’m Joe the plumber.” A man asks: “Obama wants my sweat to pay for his trillion dollars in new spending?”

Since McCain has seized on that line of argument, he has picked up support among white married people and non-college educated whites, the poll shows, while widening his advantage among white men. Black voters still overwhelmingly support Obama.

The Republican also has improved his rating for handling the economy and the financial crisis. Nearly half of likely voters think their taxes will rise under an Obama administration compared with a third who say McCain would raise their taxes.

Since the last AP-GfK survey in late September, McCain also has:

_Posted big gains among likely voters earning under $50,000 a year; he now trails Obama by just 4 percentage points compared with 26 earlier.

_Surged among rural voters; he has an 18-point advantage, up from 4.

_Doubled his advantage among whites who haven’t finished college and now leads by 20 points. McCain and Obama are running about even among white college graduates, no change from earlier.

_Made modest gains among whites of both genders, now leading by 22 points among white men and by 7 among white women.

_Improved slightly among whites who are married, now with a 24-point lead.

_Narrowed a gap among unmarried whites, though he still trails by 8 points.

McCain has cut into Obama’s advantage on the questions of whom voters trust to handle the economy and the financial crisis. On both, the Democrat now leads by just 6 points, compared with 15 in the previous survey.

Obama still has a larger advantage on other economic measures, with 44 percent saying they think the economy will have improved a year from now if he is elected compared with 34 percent for McCain.

Intensity has increased among McCain’s supporters.

A month ago, Obama had more strong supporters than McCain did. Now, the number of excited supporters is about even.

Eight of 10 Democrats are supporting Obama, while nine in 10 Republicans are backing McCain. Independents are about evenly split.

Some 24 percent of likely voters were deemed still persuadable, meaning they were either undecided or said they might switch candidates. Those up-for-grabs voters came about equally from the three categories: undecideds, McCain supporters and Obama backers.

Said John Ormesher, 67, of Dandridge, Tenn.: “I’ve got respect for them but that’s the extent of it. I don’t have a whole lot of affinity toward either one of them. They’re both part of the same political mess.”

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

That goes to show that different media outlets will be reporting different things up until Nov 5 when we will all know the true results of the election.

The election is taking place now with early voting. Do it.

This man is awesome!!

Yeah no negativity on this post..if ppl have any type of decency then they will refrain…

Prayers for the Obama family.

I wouldn’t hold my breathe this election. All this “Obama” hoopla means nothing. I too am proud to be”alive” to witness a person of color getting the nomination to run for the presidency in “this” country, however, come election time…shyt…they’ll be walking in pants around the ankles hoods first. This country rather put a dumb whyte bytch in office before a smart black man.

***Sitting on my rocking chair eating popcorn and watchin it all unfold with tears down my face***

Get well Grandma! We need you there in January…

grandma hope you get well

Obama’s campaign is not suspended. He is going to Hawaii on Thursday & Friday and will be back on Saturday in Indianapolis. His campaign will still be going strong. McCain is the one that suspended his campaign not Obama.

bria u r 99% correct.

John the drama king only PRETENDED 2 suspend his campaign in order 2 PRETEND 2 care about an economy that he called “fundamentally strong” only a week prior.

That’s when the mummy should have called in Sarah Palin 2 cover 4 him.

Wait, what was that again?

That’s when the mummy should have called in Sarah Palin 2 cover 4 him.

BWAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

In school, college that is, I had to learn about a lot of things, some things I really didn’t agree with. As it was stated by my professor it’s important to learn about different things, people, mind frames, and cultures. It was important for the reason of reasoning, the reason of understanding, the reason of solution. I was taught It is helpful not harmful but it is open to our hearts interpretation. My heart has found it helpful to have a broadened mind, and a broader form of communication. It’s funny how Barack Obama comes under criticism for having a broader sense of reality and not a narrow view. What is it, which separates him from every other college student who had to learn differences, in order to matriculate from higher learning? For Christians, its evolution, for evolutionist it’s Christianity, no matter what it was you ate the meat and threw away the bone. You learn it not so you can be persuaded though it left you more understanding and informed of its function, but also so that you may refute or rebuke the idea or notion. In simple the more you know, the more you can refine your choice. No one will have a fight in debating or persuading if they don’t have an understanding of what it is they are trying to persuade. For this Republican Party to be such Christians, yet forget that it was their leader God who himself said he judges not the outward appearance of a man, but his heart. The funny things is that from all the media (Fox) that is displayed, it is showing a view that no one should be judged by their heart, in fact it shows that only some have a heart that should be judge, and the others are heartless, therefore cannot have the same position of one who is learning for good and not for bad. I believe it is this response that has baffled me. God’s way is one of peace, love, and understanding. He speaks to Christians via their heart or mind, and not leaves them guessing concerning his position on their life (see 1Sam 16:7).

When a Christian or any person who believes in God, indulges in sin, or has sinned without repenting (which means no communication with God concerning their actions). They are seen as an opposition of God, and transgressor of God’s way, or against God’s principles according to the bibles scripture. However according to the Holy Bible with repentance (communication with God) they are given a chance for reconciliation. Now when Obama say’s let me speak with the leaders in other countries for resolution, he’s persecuted for following the principles of God in which, “Sarah Palin, John McCain and just about every Republican, liberalist, pure bleed American and News anchor from Fox news”, say they believe in. It say’s in scripture (see Psalm 23:5), That God will prepare a table in the presence of your enemy’s?

I have heard many Christians, Muslims, and any other religious people say, they are thankful for their God given them an outlet to express what they felt both in a negative and positive verbal manner but freely. It is my assumption that it is God’s searching their heart through listening to them, questioning them, and commenting on them, which in general is speaking with them that lead to their soul searching of sorts. This sounds like communications can activate ones heart, it is all religions that say that a person’s actions are first activated by their heart, though it enters the mind first, the feelings which come by way of the heart is the initiator of actions. What would most people consider bad actions? Anything that is harmful to mankind, keyword “kind”, anything that interrupts peace, tranquility, unity and love. We come in contact with many people in our life time, we have dialogues in which two things happen, we consider and we act upon. In dialogue we can consider something good, support and act upon it or consider something bad and do likewise. But dialogue in and of itself does not lend us to be in support or in allegiance to them or with them, or anything that concerns their dialogue. I was taught that I was listening didn’t show support of dialogue, but actions did. My parents and I could have a dialogue all day about cleaning my room, but I still show my non support by not complying. This elementary people, Bill Ayres and Barack Obama have had dialogue before. Obama met William Ayers in late 1995; two years later William Ayers won Chicago’s Citizen of the Year award. I would venture to say that Obama met him in a good dialogue year; I don’t think Chicago would be so naïve as to reward a psychopath would you?

Your action will show if you were mislead by the dialogue, and I have not seen any actions on Barack Obama’s part that show he was mislead into committing any terrorist attacks, or any Anti-American proceedings. For all the educated, Christians, liberalist, republicans, or even democrats who wage the argument that Obama is guilty by association with anyone, I way say go back to your education method, or Christian principles, and tell me if your argument is wrong. You read, were taught, were exposed to some things and people that and who had motives and theories that were totally different from yours. Yet you were informed that it’s okay to disagree, but it is not okay not to be well informed. I personally have gain knowledge by observation, communication, and literature. It has been the way of matriculation education wise, as well as a citizen of the “United” States of America to try to understand every walk of life. Not just mine, or all those that are in favor with me, but in every walk, what is preparation if you have knowledge of what is unknown to you. In such a diverse place as earth and even the US, I think it only fair for a diverse knowledge to help assist in making diversely intelligent decision. If I were to preside over a nation that was only one in existence on earth then I could narrow my knowledge, therefore logic, and dialogue to fit the singularity that existed. However, we share the free world, and need to be knowledgeable of our neighboring nations. Now concerning judging bad decision, or as religion put’s it bad fruit, then we all have to take an account that every president, politician, and human has made bad decisions. If we want a perfect person for president we will have to wait until the return of Christ as the bible says, or for the return of whomever the Quran says, or whomever the Buddhist have as their savior. Bottom line he’s not here on earth. I do believe that the Presidents should only be measured by mankind concerning their intent. Look up “intent” and see what you find. I say this, in thinking; intent shows what’s in the mind but brings out what’s in the heart.

Hi Blaq.Woman, HF

When you have a moment, you may wish to check out the upcoming NY Times Magazine piece on McCain’s campaign strategy, “The Making (and Remaking and Remaking) of McCain. There’s a preview article available at www(dot)nytimes(dot)com.

They don’t call her “Failin” Sarah Palin 4 nothing… this broad can’t even answer a 3rd graders question correctly:

_________________________________________________

Palin takes heat for saying VP ‘in charge’ of the Senate

(CNN) – Sarah Palin is taking heat Wednesday for appearing to overstate the role of vice president, saying in a recent interview that she would be “in charge of the Senate” should John McCain win the White House.

The comments came in an interview with Colorado TV station KUSA in response to a third-grader’s question, “What does the Vice President do?”

“[T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom,” she said.

The comments have drawn criticism from Democrats and liberal blogs which note the actual role of the vice president when it comes to the Senate is simply to cast a tie-breaking vote in the event of a stalemate. According to Article I of the U.S. Constitution, the vice president is the “President” of the Senate, but has no executive position when it comes to presiding over the chamber.

Donald Ritchie, a historian in the Senate Historical Office told CNN that Palin’s comment was an “overstatement” of what her role would be.

“The vice president is the ceremonial officer of the Senate and has certain ceremonial functions including swearing in new senators and can vote to break a tie,” he said. “It’s a relatively limited role. It’s evolved into a neutral presiding officer of the Senate.

Ritchie also noted recent vice presidents have played a behind-the-scenes lobbying role on Capitol Hill for an administration’s policies, but called it “somewhat limited.”

Darn those 3rd graders and their “gotcha” questions…

Hi Sydney. I’ll check it out!

@HF

I’m also reading that McCain is pulling out of more states. Looking for more info. . .

WE GOT LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TIL WE CAN FINALLY SAY A BLACK MAN IS OUR PRESIDENT !!! HOW ILL IS THAT THEY SAY BEHIND EVERY DARK CLOUD IS A SILVER LINING. THESE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE BEEN NOTHIN BUT HELL FOR EVERYBODY. BUT THRU ALL THAT PAIN HAS PAVED A WAY LEADING US UP TO THIS DAY. OBAMA 08-2016 !!

@HF

Did you see this?

WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, “impetuous” Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier,” the message said. “Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.”

SITE Intelligence Group, based in Bethesda, Md., monitors the Web site and translated the message.

“If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests,” the message said, “this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it.”

@ Sydney

I heard about that. I guess Michigan was only the start.

@HF

I think he may be pulling out of Colorado and a few other states, according to CNN. There’s talk of him re-focusing his efforts in other states, particularly Pennsylvania where Obama reportedly has a double-digit lead. There’s still a lot of on-the-ground work there despite the polls.

The Obama campaign is so flush with cash right now, there’s talk of them putting ads in states that no Democrat normally would consider, like South Carolina. I’m waiting to see the program they have planned before Election Day for which the campaign bought time on the major networks, including NBC and Fox.

Oh, and remember our conversation about the Minnesota congresswoman who wanted to investigate which members of Congress were pro-America or anti-America? She has gotten into so much hot water that her opponent, a no-name Democrat, may have a chance at defeating her. He received over $700,000 in contributions after she made those remarks on Hardball.

Sydney… all I can say is WOWWWWW!!!

People want 2 question Obama’s patriotism when al Qaeda supports the mummy is way beyond ironic. I joked that Dubya the dummy’s CIA pals might rig a terrorist attack 2 accomplish the same ends. This puts it into the realm of distinct possibility.

Talk about palin’ (pun intended) around with terrorists!

U r right about Michelle Bachman! She’s like “what I had MEANT was….”

Idiot just boosted the Democratic candidate’s chances BIG TIME!

These GOP knuckleheads r like schoolyard kids: “my daddy is more American than your daddy…”

I’m glad that he put his family first b/c winning the Presidency would’ve been a hollow victory if he hadn’t: God bless the Obamas and the Durhams, HOPE EVERYONE HERE’S VOTED ALREADY, I HAVE!!!

LOL @ HF

Yeah, you can’t get more “terroristic” than an endorsement from al-Qaida. . .

And can we say the GOP is becoming like the Titanic? Republicans are jumping ship left and right. I’ve never seen an election when so many Republicans openly expressed their support for a Democrat. Is it just me, or is this all surreal??

And, yes, these “I’m more American than you are” childish antics are ridiculous. We’re in the middle of a financial crisis. I’ve seen and read too many tragic stories of people losing their economic and emotional security. I watched a segment on CNN recently on the increase in automobile repossessions, and the reporter interviewed a sister, a college graduate, who couldn’t find a job and had fallen on hard times. When I heard her sobbing, I felt so horrible for her. A lot of people are suffering, and we don’t have time for these games that may have worked in the past, but now seem extremely inappropriate and silly.

*al-Qaeda*

I never believe that poll stuff.

Anyhoo, Obama is coming back to Indy tomorrow morning before he heads to see his ailing grandmother

TCB OBAMA……. TCB!!!
