Well said Poppy. We all need to work as a nation to change things. Guys some of you are so racist is is sad, so many remarks and false accusations and disrespect for our new leader. Why are some of you so scared? He wont take away guns, he wont go jerking babies from the womb, some of the stuff some of you are posting is unreal and very RACIST. This is the 21st century it is time to put aside race differences and not look at color but look at the man inside. Some of you love Bush so much they it might be best if you move to Texas and succed from the union and then you can have BUSH back. Enough said I will say no more, I ahve said my peice and now it is time to deer hunt and winter fish. The election os OVER, AMERICA made it's choice. Some will have to live with it just as we have had to live with Bush the LAST 8 years, and seen our country go down hill due to his policys and his WAR. Bush the greatest far from it, his legacy is how he ruined the country due to selifish greed.

"This is the 21st century it is time to put aside race differences and not look at color but look at the man inside."
Bobby this is hard when it's being shoved down my throat that Obama is the first "BLACK" president, all the media rederick about race down to every single coverage pointing out the differences between white votes and black votes, it's not fair. Bush in his faults did appoint 2 "blacks" Col Powell, Condalisa Rice (spelling?) to take offices for the first time in our countries history for African Americans, he hasn't recieved any praise for opening those doors.
To quote "You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have the facts of life", over all this I have learned to be more open about good things people do as well as the bad and vice versa. Where Bush failed here he gained there and Obama will do the same I just hope he lives up to the hype because it will be great, but you cannot fault those who come before you for your sucess it is a different time now than even 5 yrs ago.

Obama has the opportunity to erase the pejudice that blacks have against whites. That is the sum of the problem in this country. If he doesn't, he will send this country back to earlier years. The problem is that hate has been propagated amongst blacks against whites for so many years by people like Reverend Wright and black panthers that it is instilled in them. Obama has a tough row to hoe to rid this hate of white people in blacks.

Your not completley serious with this post are you?Originally Posted by Tom523
Every President up until now has been white and there are still white people that hate black people but Obama is supposed to fix all the black hate against whites. <shakes head in disbelief>

You cannot deny that reverse descrimination and Affirmative action have SET this country back QUITE a bit.
Affirmative action is intellectual welfare........when you have to score less, produce less, WORK LESS, than some who is white and better qualified, it does nothing but keep you down.
I don't deny that Affirmative action has helped a TON of people, but in today's world, it is used as A CRUTCH......
AMERICA has always been about the BEST and the BRIGHTEST......when you settle for less..........well......you get less.

How is your reply relevant to what I posted? I'll tell you, it's not. Just another shot taken at the black race posted on here.
I just replied that it was funny to think that Obama being elected President was going to end what you call reverse descrimination but every President up until now has been white and there is still descrimination against blacks.

You live under a rock dont you?
What would happen if 95% of whites voted for a white man vs a black man? Would that be called racist?

The black race has always voted the Democratic ticket incase you didn't know, just so happens Obama is black and pulled in the first time black voters also. Did they vote for him just because he's black, most likley, do I approve of that, of course not but there were plenty of votes cast against him because he was black. We'll never know the true numbers breakbown but in your world I guess you have it figures out.
But anyway back to the point I originally tried to make. It's absoutley absurd to think Obama can make all the black race embrace the white race when there have been numerous white presidents before him and there is still racism against blacks. Get the point now!

AND why is that........do you think this has NOTHING to do with the government handouts they GET, and the INFINITELY more scholarship and affirmative action programs that are DIRECTED towards them.......GIVE ME A BREAK. I'd sure LOVE to have some of those programs DIRECTED at ME.
I BET I GREW up poorer than a BIG part of them. AND MY parents REFUSING welfare, food stamps, etc, etc, MADE me a better person, instead of "brainwashing" me into thinking it was the governments job to take care of me.......
YES........they voted because he's black.........YOU KNOW IT, and I KNOW IT. It's done...............now he needs to PRODUCE.....
THE Point is taken...........BUT just as you point out........ALL the WHITE presidents passed legislation DRAMATICALLY effecting the black race for the positive..........
Obama cannot possibly make all STUPID black people and STUPID white people give up their racist ways.......YES, I said STUPID, because THEY ARE. In fact, I'd love to LOCK up every racist SOB out there, but I'd be locking up MOST of my family.........and YOURS....and Obama's WIFE.
My final point........
You libs ALWAYS call for equality and freedoms of speach.....bla, bla, bla.........Gangsta RAP, and the CRAP on TV is a CRAPPY idea of expression and free speach.........MORE sex, MORE DRUGS, More violence, MORE teenage promiscuity, MORE GAY lifestyle, etc, etc.........
Continue pushing this JUNK on American youngsters, and see what KIND of future we get.........

My point was they have always voted Democratic but it is now a bigger issue because their votes went to a black canidate. I never said I supported why they always voted the way they did.
Votes were also cast against him because he was black, how many, who really knows
Yes they did and I applaud them for it but it's sad that these things were needed in the first place.
Don't think you can lay all the blame on the libs but lets just get rid of equality and freedoms of speach and that'll fix everything?

Bobby,
I have seen you post many untrue things...much of which seems to directly parallel what is in the media.
1. Head to the library and check out a few books on economics. We need to cut everything and raise taxes by 50% for the next 25 years to square it up.
2. Almost all politicians are there for the power and control. Sure there are a few who really care, but let's keep it real.
3. Pray for our leaders that they will put God first as in "In God We Trust".
4. If you are a hard working guy, scratching out a living like the rest of us then you should appreciate someone like our president who doesn't try to spin everything.
Our president has done a fantastic job in a lot of areas and I pray the president elect can continue this trend. This is what the Good Book says we should do.
