Obama rolls

Surprised by the size of Obama's victory in North Carolina? Does this pretty much seal it for him?

I feel that he is worse the Sen. Clinton!!!! Especially, when he goes to a church where a rev. say's gd america, we deserved 9/11, etc. I know that obama didn't say it, but we and our children need to look up to a president who is going to worship our heavenly father, buy taking on his wisdom by fighting for his country like George Bush has!!!! In about 12 years you will see some wonderful things that President Bush did and then be asham for what you said and did toward him! I will keep you in my prayers!

Not surprised at all because of the black voters that turned out. They see color, not the issues and what do we really know about this guy. I don't like Clinton either, but she has done something in NY, Obama hasn't proved himself, but he will probably win. We will have the first black president come November and that's sad!

Over 90% of blacks who voted, voted for Obama. Only about 55-60% of whites who voted, voted for Clinton.
Now who more racist?
It seems blacks will vote more based on color than whites. That sounds like racism to me.

Are you saying our Heavenly Father told Bush to lie to the American people to start a war? I seriously doubt it.

I'm not disputing there were a significant # of blacks who wanted to support of Obama because of his color, but contrary to your biased views there are blacks who take issues into account. Also, after reading the tone of your posts I'm sure there were a significant # of people who refused to vote for him because of his color. The Republican party(overwhelmingly white) had Alan Keyes(also black) on some of their ballots and he didn't get more than 1% of the vote. I guess that doesn't concern you.

Seeing that McCain has the Republican nomination wrapped up, I wouldn't expect Keyes to get many votes.

And taking YOUR biased views into consideration, there is NO WAY you can explain the HUGH difference in the percentages of whites who voted for Clinton and the percentages of blacks that voted for Obama, except for the FACT that blacks are more racist than whites. The numbers don't lie.

I have heard many things said by black voters..that had these things been said by a white person...the country would be in a riot.
It should not be the color of the skin that matters...Hopefully - Obama supporters have researched the issues that our country is facing....Oh - be so careful where you hang your star! I hope if nominated - Obama will have the support and prayers of all races.

The pie-in-the-sky proposals Obama has made have now topped $2 trillion ($2,000,000,000,000.00) over his four years in office and the following year. Will someone tell me that this is change they can believe in?
(This is in addition to the continually growing federal budget).
The "youts" that are going to vote him in are the ones who are going to have to work like dogs to bail us out. Based upon the work ethic of most of the young folks I have seen, were at the mouth of the well known tributary without means of motivation.

Keeping it real all I am saying is we don't need a black president in this country. The USA as we know is going to hell it seems. We let whomever come here, we hand out money to people who don't want to work, people keep having babies just to collect a check and then sit on their butts and whine about everything. We are overpopulating and let's face it the mexicans, blacks, and whites we're all different people. The blacks will support Obama til the end, I guess one day with all the Mexicans who are coming over we will have a Mexican president next. Sad, I'm looking at moving overseas or something because this place we call the USA I don't want my kids growing up here.

Although I don't apporve of Obama's policies and worldview (third-world, revolutionary socialism), I DO understand why blacks would vote overwhelmingly for him. They have waited and stuggled a very long time for this possibility. It IS too bad that they are not able, it seems, to discern his radical left-wing agenda. But having been on the Democratic dole for decades, I suppose more of the same looks just fine - regardless of the fact that welfare socialism almost devasted African-American family structure.

I have no doubt that if B.O. wins in November, the nation will look back after about six months to a year of his tenure and see that they were sold a bill of goods, that it was just a smooth leftist power play. If he has a Democratic Congress we can kiss the capitalist, free, biblically based morality, indepedence-minded America we grew up in and loved GOOD BYE!

The Jeremiah Wright revelations were important and wholly justified efforts to unveil the true Obama. The smiley, sound-byte populist hero that has been his media image for the past few months is just a sham, a hood-winking marketing ploy to just get him into the Oval Office, so that the radical left can begin to impose its wretched agenda on the nation. Behind those pearly-whites is a neo-marxist vocabulary that will come forth soon enough - once he's taken the oath of office!

But let's hope and PRAY that the American public will wake up and prevent such a tragic debacle.
