And now he picks a VP who is full of hate. Biden is one of the most spitefull and arrogant people in Washington. Of course that apparently fits Obama's personality so I can see why he picked him.

Why is there even a question?

“Now, are there going to be people who don’t vote for me because I am Black?"

"I don't want people voting for me because I'm black"

"...people want you to be afraid of me ... and, oh yeah, I'm black"

No where will you find Obama claim to be white. When pressed, he will admit to being half white and half black... but he clearly identifies himself as black ... end of story.

Kind of makes you believe being black isn't nearly as much about the color of skin as it is the attitude and disposition of the person.

Makes me think of the move with Steve Martin called "The Jerk".

This is what is wrong with America. How can America preach tolerance abroad, and don't show any here.

Hussein is actually WHITE because his mother is as white as the driven snow! When you register for school, you are the race that your mother is. He calls himself black because, in our guilt-ridden (unfoundedly so) society, he felt that being "black" would be better for him politically. If he were a full white senator, with no experience, and no votes in the few months he spent as a junior senator, then he would have been laughed at for wanting the nomination. But, since he's calling himself "black", ALL blacks will vote for him (which is racist) and many whites will vote for him to be "with-it". He does not deserve to be President, but calling himself Black may help him to do so. I agree with the black author, he is bi-racial at the very most.

Halle Berry is way more black than Hussein Obama is!! He's the one who brings up the black issue. Most people don't care what color he is, but he's trying to get that black racist vote. Well, that's only 13% of the population (but multiplying like rabbits, so he's got a ways to go. I'd vote for a black in a second, if he was qualified for the office!!! Hussein isn't (but the Democrapic puppeteers can control him).

Hey Dumba**~ All you can reply is "so what"??? That is what is wrong with our country. Stupid a-holes like you are voting for a terrorist Muslim because he's "so cute and cool" and he's a good speaker with an awesome fist-bump. I suggest you read (and read a lot, if you know how to) information about your Messiah Hussein Obama. He is another terrorist, just like the pilots on 9-11. If all you can say is "so what", then I'll send his Al-Qaeda friends to your house when he takes office.

We are looking at character, intelligence and the ability(as far as you can with any political person)) to trust that he will do his best for the country.
He is NOT a muslim, perhaps understands it better than most
We plan to vote for the young man and give him a chance
Hey Maureen,
Do you live with Messiah Obama? Have you spent even one day with him? Probably not... so what makes YOU the expert on his religion? He was raised a Muslim as a boy, then spent 20 years listening to a racist, hateful, unAmerican preacher. Pretty bad judgement, I'd say. He has a record of very bad judgement, and very few decisive votes. He has no balls, if you know what I mean. So, if he's elected, what will he say to the Al-Qaeda members who enter the U.S.? Probably "Welcome! What size burka do you need, Maureen?" All I'm saying is do your own research. Don't listen to the LIBERAL MEDIA to get your "facts".

Oh by the way, I forgot to say, boycott MSNBC for continueing to employ the racist Pat Buchanan, who claims that Blacks should be grateful for being brought to this country in chains and being introduced to Christianity.

You totally misquoted him. What he meant was that a lot of people are sick of the reverse racism. How much federal money gets paid every year to African American communities all on the basis of race? How many scholarships, Grants, and loans get put out by race? Hell thats part of the reason why Acorn worked. African Americans are milking the welfare system because they are Black and thats what he is talking about.

You are either 100% White or you are not White. If there is any Black blood in a person they are Black.
