Like many, I never gave him much of a chance.....

Figured the Clinton Coronation was a fait compli....


Never was my first choice, having prefered Biden, Dodd, and Kucinich.....

Always hoped Al would come to his senses........




Meanwhile, this one-term Senator from the Land of Lincoln started making sense.....

Started being a viable alternative to Shrillary.......

And now he has proven himself, having secured a majority of the popular vote, and a mojority of states, and a majority of delegates,...



He can beat McCain, win over moderates and independants, and rally the base.


With the future of the Supreme Court, The Constitution, and The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on the line,,............


I'm in. Sign me up.


To you Black Fags of the world with your "they're all the same, you gullible sheep" mantra, I say so what.....

Given the choices of Barack Obama and his Administration VS. McCain/Lieberman/Huckabee/Bush/Santorum/Rove .........

Give me Obama / Dodd / Richards / Biden / Edwards any day, and twice on Sunday.

Hell, throw in Gore as Sec. of Interior and we have a cabinet.

Dynasty--- Kennedy---- White House----Obama

Kennedy, who chaired the senate subcommittee on Africa, arranged a $100,000 grant through his family's foundation to help Mboya keep the program running.
"It was not a matter in which we sought to be involved," Kennedy said in an August 1960 senate speech. "Nevertheless, Mr Mboya came to see us and asked for help, when none of the other foundations could give it, when the federal government had turned it down quite precisely. We felt something ought to be done."

One of the first students airlifted to America was Barack Obama Sr, who married a white Kansas native named Ann Dunham during his US studies. Their son, born in 1961 and named for his father, has only once mentioned his Kennedy connection on the campaign trail.


Obama- Kennedy -Death in Kenya-

..Strangely, the same weight of political dynasty that Obama is seeking to lift in America - putting a name other than Bush or Clinton in the White House - links the senator to both sides in the current Kenyan struggle.

Odinga stood beside Obama during stops on the latter's Kenyan homecoming in 2006, and the Kenyan presidential hopeful claimed on Tuesday to be a cousin of the US candidate. Odinga is also tied to airlift organiser Mboya, who was a political rival of his father during the 1960s.

All of the men belong to the Kenyan Luo tribe, which takes a particular pride in senator Obama's astounding rise in America. But the jubilation at the Obama victory in Iowa has been matched by anger at president Kibaki, a member of the Kikuyu tribe. The election was called for Kibaki on December 27 despite strong evidence on the ground of an Odinga win, prodding both sides to bloody clashes and riots that have killed as many as 1000 people, according to opposition estimates.

"Before the Kenya elections occurred ... there was a popular question circulating among Kenyan intellectuals: 'Which country will be first to have a Luo president, Kenya or the United States?'" wrote Dr Ali Mazrui, a Kenyan academic who directs the global studies program at Binghamton university in New York.

barack obamas real father was an atheist by the time he went to hawaii and met baracks white mother who was not from a particularly christian family.

baracks indonesian step dad also had little use for religion of any kind.

barack obama became a christian later in life so please dont try to label barack as having some kind of devout muslim upbringing,it just aint true,only his name which descends from kenya is muslim little else is.

I read he was educated in a muslim school but I guess you didn't have to be a muslim to go there .


What can Americans expect of a Muslim-educated Obama? AP writes of its interviews at the Muslim school in Indonesia, “Those tied to the school say they are proud to have had a student like Obama, and hope that, if he is elected president, his ties to Indonesia will broaden his world perspective and his views on religion.” Indonesia is home to some of the most radical Islamic schools in the world. And Obama’s identity is yet to be revealed as the confusing doubletalk hides the real Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States .


Insight Magazine, which is owned by the same company as The Washington Times, reported on its website that “researchers connected to Senator Clinton” had unearthed information that Senator Barack Obama had attended a Muslim religious school in Indonesia known for teaching the most fundamentalist form of Islam. Obama acknowledged attending...


But why believe what you read

I'll take a raincheck on the Obama Bandwagon. Don't care for his far left stance at all. One thing I did hear him say that I liked was that he wanted to keep jobs here in America. We will see if he backs that one up. His Baptist minister shstick is getting old. Okay, he gives great speeches, it takes a hell of alot more than great speeches to run a country.

The language Obama uses is inspiring.

The last politician I can remember in my lifetime who was inspiring, as opposed to being smart politically, was Ronald Reagan.

The point isn't if Obama can deliver on everything he promises; none of them ever do.

And yes, Obama is a mainstream politician, just like Hillary and McCain.

The point is if one makes that leap of faith towards Obama's "politics of hope" the potential downside is great, but the potential upside is far greater than anything Clinton or McCain will deliver.

For me, these days the bar is set so low in terms of what I actually expect from a president;

1) Do whatever possible to prevent a nationwide economic collapse

2) Don't engage country in bullshit military interventions

3) Try to stem the flow of jobs out of the country and the flow of illegals into the country

4) Make an attempt to keep the whole shithouse from going up in flames

that Obama doesn't have to be some kind of miracle worker to be successful by those definitions.

Women 'falling for Obama'
12/02/2008 12:02 - (SA)

College Park, Maryland - You can see it in their flushed-face smiles and hear it in their screams. They say the phenomenon is difficult to describe, but once they experience it they tell their friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, and they come back for more if they can.

"He's very charismatic. It was a 'you-had-to-be-there' kind of experience," said Lolita Breckenridge, 37, after hearing Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama address a packed rally at the University of Maryland on Monday.

A dedicated supporter, she brought two of her friends to hear the Illinois senator deliver one of his much-talked-about speeches.

"Not too much of the speech was new to me," she admitted. "But hearing him live..." she trailed off, shaking her head and grinning.

When Obama addressed the crowd of 16 000 on the eve of primaries which he is tipped to win in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, he carried himself with his habitual worldly confidence, interspersed talk of foreign policy with recollections of his childhood and even poked political fun at his Republican adversaries.

He did not flinch when women screamed as he was in mid-sentence, and even broke off once to answer a female's cry of "I love you Obama!" with a reassuring: "I love you back."

The 46-year-old son of a white American mother and black Kenyan father repeated his platform of ending the war in Iraq, offering tuition credit for students and providing health care for all Americans, drawing repeated standing ovations during the hour-long rally.

In contrast to Obama's schedule which included a second arena-sized appearance in Baltimore on Monday, his rival Senator Hillary Clinton held a series of low key talks, including a guest lecture at the University of Virginia and a tour of a General Motors plant.

'Party Like a Barack Star'

The former first lady's discrete approach to voters in Washington and bordering states appeared to acknowledge her likely defeat there, amid questions over her campaign's stability after a sudden shake-up saw her top advisor stepped aside.

With Obama surging after a series of key wins last week, supporters eager for a chance to see him in the flesh braved freezing temperatures and filed politely into a near interminable line that stretched all the way across campus.

Ahead of Obama's speech, hip-hop music blared across the sports arena and fans held up signs that read "Barack My World" and "Party Like a Barack Star". Afterward, supporters were eager to talk about the experience.

For Karen Ruffin, 42, hearing him speak of his hope for the country was "inspiring, full of hope and phenomenal".

She said she felt some pangs of regret for not supporting Clinton, who early on was tipped to gain the women's vote.

"I was undecided in the beginning but after hearing a few speeches I gradually moved toward him," Ruffin said.

Her friend Tyra Simpkins, 37, said she has always rooted for Obama.

"I think he has a lot of momentum and I'm really excited about his health care plan, I know he's going to do a lot of great things for people with disabilities," said Simpkins, who suffers from multiple sclerosis.

'My grandparents like Hillary...'

His speech "made me glad to be an American again".

Obama, who has been endorsed by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, brother of the late John and Robert Kennedy, often quotes the famous family in his speeches and did so again on Monday.

"John F Kennedy said we can never negotiate out of fear, but we can never fear to negotiate," Obama said, vowing to shut down the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, end the war in Iraq as well as "the mindset that got us into war".

For student Rachel Niederer, 21, it was Obama's way with words that swayed her to his side.

"I love listening to his speeches," she said.

Asked if she had any university friends who were backing Clinton, she answered: "My grandparents like Hillary. I don't know anyone (my age) who does."

Retired Washington native Marty Lallis, 61, said Obama reminded her of Robert Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968, five years after his brother and the same year as Dr Martin Luther King, Jnr was gunned down.

"I was just as excited by Robert F Kennedy when I was a teenager. I feel the same excitement for Obama. Maybe a little bit more because I am more mature," she said.

"Every time I hear him speak I become more hopeful and more sure that he would be the best president we could have," she said. "He makes you feel like he's talking to you especially."

Actually, I liked Biden but he didn't make the cut and his remarks about Obama forced the media to turn on him like a shark swimming in chum. And you're right, I don't see myself pulling the lever for a Democrat, yet I don't think I can do it for the current Republican candidate either. I know he doesn't have a snowballs chance in Hades, but Ron Paul will get my vote today.

He's too intelligent to fail as miserable as the last guy,

I can see him not surrounding himself with "good ol boys"

Ah, but would you have, armed with the knowledge that Reagan was backed by an even bigger P.O.S. and/or (truly racist, not just bigoted) organization?


Didn't notice this thread, nor Elvis' own "KKK endorsement" earlier...not cool, dude. :mad:

Internet bullshit aside, they have to disclose where their money is coming from - you can go and look it up. The bulk of the money for hillary and obama and mccain are corporations. So enough robin hood fantasy bullshit.

And on the endorsement issue - that's ignorant bullshit, too. So Farrakhan (or KKK) endorses a candidate... how is the candidate supposed to control that? What do you expect him to do about that? It's not the same as the candidate endorsing the contributor, clowns.

Um, the bulk of Obama's money is from donors that repeatedly donated, which has been a major advantage as many of Hillery's donors (wealthy) were maxed out in the beginning, which is why he has owned her in fundraising, because he's far more populist...

Yes, corporations are hopping on now to curry favor, but Obama has in fact largely forgone the special interest money...

So WTF are you telling ME this?

You're the pretending Obama is something different. I'm just keeping it real. It's the same bullshit, different name, different year.

And he still doesn't say he'll withdraw from Iraq.

So tell us more about how he's "forgone the special interest money," koolaid man. By the way, they both are heavy into the financial houses. I wonder why that is?

What is your source for this information? It may be accurate, but I'm not sure.

Here are links to information from the Federal Election Commission.

I voted for Obama today. I've been a lifelong Registered Republican but voted on the Democrat Ticket today.
Many others have done the same, but most voted for Hilary, apparently.

Their logic seems to be that Hilary can't beat McCain so by voting for her they are hoping McCain will win in November...But McCain is a joke and that, to me, was a fools bet.

The major issue for me is outsourcing and the tax breaks given to companies who send American Jobs over seas to be done by what is essentially Slave Labor.
The Republicans don't even see the problem because they can't see beyond the pile of money that is being made by selling out the blue collar, hard working American citizen.
Both Obama and Hilary voted against those tax breaks, but I can't stomach Hilary being President, period.

Truth is, if our trade deals aren't re-negotiated then nothing else will matter in the next few years because we will all be broke and jobless...unless you speak these words clearly, "You want fries with that?"

The same bullshit as what? Are you telling me things would be the same now if Gore had been nominated President by the Supreme Court?


And he still doesn't say he'll withdraw from Iraq.

Because we'll probably need a stay behind counter-terrorism task force there for a while...Certainly not 150,000 troops though...

Pat Buchanan seems to think that the Republicans will peel Obama like an onion with 527 ads after the nomination has been decided, and he actually thinks Obama could lose in a landslide, much moreso than if Hillary were the nominee.

Interesting.

It's Jimmy Carter all over again.

Good luck with that one, I already know where it goes!

Ha ha! Nice find, hideyoursheep.

I just love it when DrSaddBawls plays the Carter card. There is a media sanctioned polito-celeb to bash for every occasion. Be it Clinton, Gore, Sheehan, Hillary, etc.

It just goes to show how icon driven the political world is for people like AssVibe. For them, it is rarely about any specific issue, it is about the celebrity attached to it.

Hilariously shallow.
