He is Anti-American and will make America weak when dealing with other countries. He & people like him put other countries needs above our own. We need a leader who will put Americans first. Jobs for Americans and legal residents FIRST. Economic assistance for those Americans and legal residents in need FIRST. I don't think we should ignore others outside our borders, just start putting our needs and repair our issues FIRST!
Obama is going to put us behind everyone else. He hates America. Or should I say White America.

It scares me to death to think that Obama could be our next President! After all the negative things he has said about America, he absolutely should not be elected President. He will make American weak.

I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted on countries that hate the U.S.A. Waste my taxes in the U.S.A. if they're gonna waste money.

Obama is the end of U.S. power in the global arena.

Obama is the only one that can make that change our country so desperately needs. He will bring us back together, he will clean house, that is what we need, we do not need more of the same(McCain).

If you people want to be ignorant and keep on telling yourself, Oh I'm scared, oh we can't have a black man in there, well maybe another 4 more years of HELL will make you feel better.

Republicans are good at scare tactics, they have been doing this crap for 50 years. Every time we get a republican president our country suffers and goes to pot. I know that most people are SICK AND TIRED OF THE SAME OLE SAME OLE. If want things to stay the same vote for McCain, but if you want your country back, vote for Obama!!!

White folks are scared hilarous, so blacks folks that suffered years of slavery at the hands of your ancestors, how should we feel about that? Why are you scared?

White America has intentionally mis-educated every generation of whites since slavery so they will feel as though they owe no responsibility. The VERY slave owners and system (back then) weaseled out of their responsibility to do justice to our ancestors. Understand this: all whites, whether directly or indirectly, benefited and benefit from the institution of racism. People in today's society are held accountable because of how whites intentionally and maliciously used their advantaged position to manipulate their way around.

Have no misunderstandings about it. The charges that whites lay at black people's feet like: "Stop Whining and Get Over It” are of the racist legacy of their forbearers. I and many blacks are successful and educated, our success does mean: don't hold white America accountable. My motto is Don’t allow anyone with PERVERTED RACIAL LOGIC ROB YOU OF YOUR SUCCESS - NO MATTER WHAT WALK OF LIFE YOU ARE IN.

You will not be excused because of your ignorance, indifference or because you just don't give a damn.
If your people didn't succeed or you came from white poverty, it is because they were lazy and failed the legacy your system set up for them to benefit under. "I don't have to work. I'm white." "I don't have to be educated, I'm white." "I don't have to be creative, I'm white." This over-reliance of the racial advantages the white forefathers set up for whites is the reason white people fail.

Black poverty IS the result of being held back. White people continue to be in absolute denial about slavery and its affects.

I am an Indian, I do have enough in me to know that if we don't make this change, we are in deep trouble. I pray that everyone will want this and will want everyone to have a better life and vote for OBAMA!!

I know that life has been hard, and is hard right now, but we all need to get past this thing of everything being racial, we have got to come together, fight together on this if we are ever going to make it in this life. All the bickering in the world will not change things, but when we all try to work together, we can make that change, and that's what Obama is all about.

Just a few years ago, a dozen eggs cost about 99 cents. Now, they’re about $2.49.

Just a few years ago, gasoline cost about $1.09/gallon. Now, it’s about $4.00/gallon.

Bush/McCain-style Republicans have spent about $500 BILLION in Iraq and Afghanistan, destroying the value of the dollar, and RAISING THE COST OF EVERYTHING.

They also prevented generic drugs from hitting the market and prevented Americans from getting less expensive prescription drugs from Canada.

Overall, the Republicans aren’t doing so well lately. What could be wrong? Maybe...

*$4.00+ for gasoline...
* Giving our troops tanks without much armor...
* Providing substandard treatment in VA hospitals...
* Effectively canceling parts of the Constitution in the name of “security”
* Making the U.S. a country that’s known for TORTURING PEOPLE, then lying about it...
* Doing NEARLY NOTHING ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION because they
want their rich fat-cat contributors to have plenty of cheap labor available.

Also, we can do without Bush/McCain-style fear-mongering that’s being pedaled as “experience” and failed war-mongering policies that have made Iran stronger.

Oh, and they’re the party that preaches to us about morals. Then they get caught, for example, having sex in airport bathrooms.

PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF DO-NOTHING REPUBLICANS!

Bush WAITED ABOUT FOUR DAYS TO REACT TO HURRICANE KATRINA.
On the day Katrina came ashore, where was Bush???
Bush was EATING CAKE with John McCain at a FUNDRAISING EVENT

You start out with a racial statement (I am Indian) and then you allude to the proposition that only Indians can know that we are in "deep trouble." Then you try to make a link from being Indian to the proposition that all Indians are voting for Obama since you are Indian. Further down, you reverse yourself and state that "we need to get past this thing of everything being racial." Now does this mean that you also reverse yourself on Obama and people shouldn't vote vote for him? And at the end you indicate that "all the bickering in the world will not change things" and make the statement "that is what Obama is all about." So all of the bickering in the world not changing things is what Obama is all about. I don't think that I'll vote for him!!

I prefer a McCain. He is open for another nations,and he is a representant of republican. Interest me a question of visas for polish citizens and Iraq war question. The future is very uncertain, because situation in Iraq is not stable.

Well if you have your history right. Black tribes over powered other black tribes and sold them to the slave masters. Also if your history is right everyone is mixed. So maybe the issue should be all the people. Not one race. The race issue is over. There are so many mixed children now that you and I both will be a minority. There is a brown race coming up fast.To achieve peace each person must make a decision that fighting gets us no where. Also history tells us there were Spanish, French , German, Italian, Scottish and many other races in USA during slavery. I do not know how old you are. But America was not just built by blacks.The melting pot was everywhere.The anger you hold for whites is unacceptable. That is what fires the racism. I feel sorry for you. With the age of internet. The world has become smaller. So now people communicate about suffering. America is suffering now. God help us all. It does not matter who becomes president. No man alive will bring America back on her feet. The damage is done. We we the people do not do something in each community to help. Then we the people will fall on our knees. Floods, earthquakes, fires and all the other signs of the times. Where will your food and water come from. The farms are being sold. The ones that haven't sold are under water or burned out. Pray for what is happening.
God is the answer. Forgive to be forgiven.

If global power is your point just remember no tree ever grew into heaven. Yours is no exception.
The reasons are many but your descending started long ago and is due to you all being by-passed whilst you have been sitting enjoying your own
excellence.
It's about time you realize you have to do something very serious to improve your fading image. Obama is the best chance offered you in decades. He might even be able build bridges that
you never though possible or preferred....
You've got some 35/40 million Americans living under the poverty limit. About time you change your focus!Close your bibles for a while and walk out and do something good for others than yourself.
Viewed from here the difference between an American republican and an American democrat is
negligible in many cases. You seem to do the wrong things for the wrong reasons(apart from all the things you've done right of course)- Obama is your chance to change!
Show some confidence rather than digging up dirt and lies. Your arguments are so easily seen through.

I am not sure who you want to forgive who...
God is not the answer - if he was, your problems would never be created. You use God as a hiding place because you don't know any answer - you don't even know what question to ask.
god helps the one who helps himself. Get started.
