If Obama wins the Presidential election it will be 146 years after the Emancipation Proclamtion. The black people liberated by Abraham Lincoln and the absolutionist during the civil war will now have one of their own running the country. It is to the brave and devoted people who fought that war that their beliefs have finally become realised.
You do not know your history! Below is information from an African-American who has researched this information!
In his new book, Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream, black American author, Lerone Bennett, presents historic evidence supporting the theory that Abraham Lincoln was, in fact, a devoted racist harboring a life-long desire to see all black Americans deported to Africa.

Bennett suggests that as a young politician in Illinois, Lincoln regularly used racial slurs in speeches, told racial jokes to his black servants, and vocally opposed any new laws that would have bettered the lives of black Americans.

Key to Bennett's thesis is the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation which, Bennett argues, Lincoln was forced into issuing by the powerful abolitionist wing of his own party. Bennett asserts that Lincoln carefully worded the document to apply only to the rebel Southern states, which were not under Union control at the time, thus resulting in an Emancipation Proclamation that did not in itself free a single slave.

Actually the dollar has gone down in value resulting in the biggest increase in oil prices. People want more dollars because it is only worth about 1/2 what is was. The reason is how people feel about the dollar, and its future. Saudi Arabia loved American investments such as Citigroup, but when this "mortgage crisis" hit, they, among others had a second thought.
If you go to Walmart, Target, et-al, you will see that everything is manufactered in China. China is using oil like never before. 5 years ago if you went to China, everyone rode bicycles, now everyone has a car.
They are consuming raw materials and selling it to us and everywhere else. So it looks like they are booming, but when our economy tanks, so will theirs shortly afterwards, and then we will boom again. Cycle once again. I think the Clintons started this Global economy with free trade, but I am not sure about that. It may have been Reagan.
I t was Clinton that gave China "most favored" trade status.

The key to Lincoln's posistion in the Civil War was that sucession from the Union was not legally recognized. Therefore the Emancipation did apply in the federal jurisdiction of the Southern states.
It was only after Lincoln's death that the radical Congress made the Confederate states be "readmitted" to the Union. That would never have happened with Lincoln as president because in his view, the states had never been out of the Union.

The EP was to block Britain and France from recognizing the CSA. By focusing the issue on slavery instead of the Union.

Obama claims no more politics as usual. How come he is so willing to disregard the Florida vote? He can stifle or vote now by not letitng it count, but we will be voting in November and many of us will not be voting for him!
Disrespect us now will cost him laer.

Anyone with common sense can see that. I can see why the blacks want him in office, but I can't understand why there are so many white folks falling down at his knees. He has nothing to off them. Are our schools really this bad? They seem to be teaching a pro-black education or something.

Isn't ironic. The Republican party of Lincoln's day more closely resemble the modern day Democrat party. By today's standard, Lincoln is considered be a liberal similar to a dixie-crat like Lyndon B. Johnso who begrundgingly supported civil rights legislation.

Simple question, what's the highest level of education you completed? I'd like to see if the polls are consistent.
The problem is you've lied so much already I don't expect you to tell the truth.
do you think the 92% of blacks who voted for obama have a college education?

they ARE the reason he's won the primary.

Your probably weren't going vote for him anyway. So, no loss. You have your Governor (Republican) and your state legislators (Republicans) to blame for the mess. Put the blame where it belongs. Give the brother a chance. Florida is a state that will reap what it has sowed. Everytime something crooked is going on it envolves Florida. Look at the 2000 election. Your state has blood on its hand. Based on your comment, no one has learned their lesson.

Next time, follow your Party's rules and vote on the date that they designate for Florida and shut up this go round.

Actually what China is doing is loaning money to U.S. to support Bush's policies. The interest from those loans fuels China economy and allows them to produce products that they turn around and sell the to U.S.. With those profits, they can loan money to us again.

To what you said about China being hurt if the U.S. collaspes, on the contrary if China decided to stop loaning money, the U.S. would be hurt first. Loans would dry up, interest in the U.S. goes up, and eventually taxes would have to follow.

Bush's policy of borrowing from Paul to pay Peter is a policy that can't support itself. Our households tells us thats a house or cards, its teh same on the macro level.

Yes, China and many all other nations would be hurt by U.S. collaspe. But that is no consolation for us in my opinion.

So you're saying the large black voting blocks in States like Idaho, Utah, Nebraska, North Dakota, Iowa, Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Wyoming amd Vermont is what carried Obama?

You know it's comments like yours that make me think most of the folks on these boards based thier comments on raw baised emotion, and ont facts.

Obama had the black vote locked up.

Obama is winning primaries because he's crossing over. Not because he's pulled the black vote to his side. That was already assumed to be his block to lose. He needed more to win.

And by the way, I'm a black male and my mother is pulling for Hillary.
