Obama is a peacefull as Bill Clinton was, during his reign the economy was strong and healthy and during Bush there was the Twin Towers falling, the war in Iraq and now a global recession…is that what you want if you vote for McCain and Diva Palin?

Please don’t waste your time, hun. Hannibal is like the loser in junior high who wasn’t terribly bright, athletic, popular, or talented, so he constantly played the “look at me” cl*****-clown role to get some attention. Judging from the fact that he is the first responder to nearly every new post, he spends all his time online. No, he is not anywhere near that 5% that McCain proposes tax breaks for. If McCain gets in office, Hannibal would probably beat us all to the front of the unemployment/food stamp line.

I’ve been pondering something for a couple days now.
I have the white “friend” at work. She comes from a middle cl***** family here in Alabama. The typical southern baptist, conservative type of family.
She only dates black men. She hangs out in all the black clubs. She only listens rap and r&b.
Monday, she and I get on the subject of the election. She, who prior to this election has “tended to vote democratic” and was a Clinton supporter in the primary, is suddenly switching over to the McCain side.
We talked for at least an hour and she couldn’t give ONE POLICY ISSUE that she agrees more with McCain than Obama on. Not one. She could only talk about Obama’s *****ociation with Wright and the fact that he may be a marxist (a term I’m convinced she doesn’t even understand). She even commented that if Obama’s FAMILY WERE MULTICULTURAL (“if his wife were latino or asian”) she’d be more inclined to vote for him. I take that to mean that Obama (half black) may be ok in the white house, but not a full black person like Michelle.
So my question is this, can it be that some of the very same white women who chase black men all day only see us (blacks) as good for sex and entertainment? Good enough for the club or the bedroom but not good enough for the oval office?

@ neil
I am not a proponent of Bush (or McLame) but we cannot place all of America’s economic woes on his shoulders. One of the biggest factors in the crisis actually took place in 1999 under Slick Willie’s watch. It was that year that the Gl*****-Steagall Act was repealed by Congress. This act (seperating investment banking and commercial banking) was originally enacted in 1933 after the depression to avoid just what is happening now. While we concentrate solely on the presidential election, don’t forget it is Congress that is the legislative branch and THEY pen the laws. The rule of law is a wonderous thing….especially if you write them.

That was brilliant and hilarious!!
and about your “friend” she is one of very many. But blacks usually dont reconize what you picked up on. It’s another form of shucking and jiving or tap dancing. Just like back in the day, performers like Dorothy Dandridge, Billy Holiday,Josephine Baker, etc. were good enough to PERFORM for white people but they couldnt even walk through the front door. They had to enter from the back entrance and when their set was finished, they had to leave quickly and abruptly.
That still plays out today, but instead Blacks are too brainwashed to care. That’s why they/us encourage our youth to play sports or become a singer/dance….. all in the name of entertainment. We dare not use our brains for *****, and take upon a more relevant, stable careers.
You wouldnt believe how many whites think we are good enough to *****, party, and play with. Try getting them to bring you home to meet the parents and for marriage. I bet there is a huge gap between the two.

The decision to vote is pretty clear, it has been displayed many times mclame saying he agreed with bush over 90% of the time. No matter what or who controls what, if you liked bush, vote for mclame. But if you hate it, want change and have some kind of hope then vote Barack Obama. Plain, simple, and painless.
Clearly Obama is the better candidate. Somebody has to be president and he should be it.
There are real “decision makers” BEYOND congress….but that’s a whole other topic.

I see and understad where your coming from with your point…but I put most of the blame on him bc he wanted to finish a (WAR) that is father started and since we’ve been at war after 9/11 we have spent about 10 billion dollars a month while so many ppl. in america has lost their JOBS, HOMES,CARS, AND BUSINESSES. so its not all bush fault but most of the weight falls on his shoulder.
Nina Knows
10/30/08, 13:29:pm
@Neil
I feel like the reason why it falls on his shoulders is because he represents the United States of America. He is the face of our country. It’s like the principle at school, of course there is a school board and teachers, but it’s the principle that it going to be looked upon when ***** goes to hell.
a person may not know every face of congress or you local city law makers, but best believe they who the president is.
I think Illuminate Truth made a good point as well, but I also think that the blacklash is part of the presidents job. It is what he represents.

Charlotte:
We never were friends. She’s hung out with me and my girls a few times… for a p***** to the black clubs I guess. Prob just came to chase more brothers.
Nina:
I know what you mean. It is just shocking that she tries soooo hard to be down. This chick listens to harder rap music than me! lol. And she has this strict “brothers only” policy. It sickens me that she can use black men for sexual purposes, when deep down she feels they are not intelligent/qualified enough to hold a powerful position.

Yhea sadly that happens all the time. I worked with a white girl who was the exact same way. I think if some black men were aware of this maybe they would second guess a few of their choices. I mean it’s not a compliment that your only daing a race because of their music and man meat!
but seriously that’s offensive to white men by only dating blacks. But I almost guarantee when she get ready to “settle down” he wont look ***** like what she’s dating now…….hey it happens.

@ Neil
I agree he takes most of the blame with today’s woes but you have to first realize that even the war his daddy started was forged in the 70s during the Carter administration while Iraq was our supposed allies. The amount of money that is sent to Iraq had to p***** congress in order to p*****. My main point is this: Nina Knows said-
“a person may not know every face of congress or you local city law makers, but best believe they who the president is.”
THAT is the problem. A president is a figure head but congress has real control. We are governed by laws and the enactment and repeals are controlled by congress. Know who your local law makers are and vote accordingly. I don’t disagree with you, I just wanted to add something to your point. I just hope that the rah-rah about “Baracking the vote” doesn’t stop with the presidential election. We BETTER know who our law makers are and where they stand.

10/30/08, 13:58:pm
@Illuminate Truth…….
So why do we have a president? Then why dont we only focus on law makers. What is all the “rah-rah” about if the president is a puppent with no play. So why even vote for a president? should we just omit ourselves from voting on a president and only focus on the lawmakers. I really want an answer.
I agree that congress p*****es laws, but your missing my point, that the president is who represents our country. I mean really, just do away with the presidency all together. I believe voting for president (whoever you choose) should be taken into consideration.
If you dont believe the president is ONLY a puppet, then why do you prefer Obama, over mclame?

@ Nina Knows
I never said that the pres has NO input into policy but to vote for the president and not care about the congress is like (using your *****ogy) caring who your child’s prin*****l is but not the teacher. Barack has good policies in theory but he needs congress to enact his policies into law. The president is the executive branch. Congress is the legislative branch. One cannot work without the other so I think you are missing MY point. Barack is the best presidential candidate in my point based on his proposed domestic policies…..emphasis on the word “proposed”. He needs the backing of the other branches of government to be on the same bandwagon in order for them to come to realization. Branches of government WE put in office.

@ Hannibal, even if Obama does not have enough experience he is backed by powerful advisors my man…Warren Buffet (World Richest economist), does that no count for something? the same advisors that were behind Bill Clinton are the ones advising Obama…all McLame has is racist backups, people who are voting for him without any logical reason but for the fact that he is white…do you really think he’s got the mental capacity to handle America’s economy with such support? all he knows is war, war,war, drill drill, drill baby and clueless about technology and NASA which the scholarhip educated Obama supports.
You cant vote for someone because he’s black or white, male or female, you need to *****ess their mental cabability and see who is he *****ociated with. Barack is backed by the most powerful men in America (incl. Warren Buffet, Google CEO and many more), ask yourself why would the most richest economist in the world back Barack Obama?
ask yourself that?

This is what happens when you have a strong black woman behind a strong black man.
I implore you black men to free yourself from mental slavery. Stop chasing down none black women stop living in a white is right mind frame. Educated black women are more likely not to get married than there other counter parts because we are waiting for our own Barack Obama. I am convinced that the black man will only reach his full potential when he learns to draw upon the strengths and insights of the black woman. — Manning Marable

Barrack Obama is the correct choice for ALL Americans. PERIOD. The tax thing doesn’t matter, even of you do make more than $250K, no matter what you will still pay taxes, taxes have LONG been a part of “redistribution of wealth”, usually the tax breaks- In McLames policy-go to corporate structires and companies…And the tax bill wil increase no matter who is in power…Who else do you think is going to pay from all the damage to other countries, behind this fake war?? We keep sending billions to fight a “WAR”…Most Ameericans will benefit and it’s off your net income after yo take off payroll tax, after your deductions, equipment-depreciation..and he has plans for small business..Big business needs to stop taking everything overseas, and benefit Americans, no more tax breaks for those that take all their profits outside of the country, with off-s***** accounts, so that don’t pay anything…This has gone on long enough..I do make over $250 K and I just will work a little harder, so what,getting large sums of money, is never easy, it takes work and investment of capital….America needs to restore her name WORLDWIDE…

The McCain campaign is sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that have donated to Obama’s campaign. These ballots are deliberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town.
What this will end up doing is either having your vote not counted, or if you return one of these, they will cite you for election fraud, saying that you already voted absentee. These ballots are only being sent out in ‘purple states’ and this is a big deal…
This is called voter caging, and is a huge problem.The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this information out to as many people as you can, and tell anyone you know who has received one of these ballots that they need to contact their city election clerk or the supervisor of elections immediately.
Also call the local media and let them know what is going on. The main stream media is never going to cover this so we have to depend on our ground campaign to get the word out to voters.
