Carl,

So far your's has been the only mature response I have read. I think it will take both sides to come across the isle to make America strong again.

DEEFIRST-The proportions & ramifications of this election were indeed astounding. Tall-Agreed, the message of all Americans working together has been sent, will it be received by all? Longshot-Our posts are similar & let's hope that as America has matured, that Americans also do the right things both in politics & in the world.

beanie324-I can agree with most of your comment; Except the fact that he is the first African-American President, regardless of his party or views. Americans have spoken & he will always be referred to in history as just that first, breaking barriers all over the country. Whether he is a great President has yet to be seen but we can hope so for America's sake.

A democrat president with a democrat congress. Obama certainly has no excuse to blame republicans for anything. Not even what has happened in the past, the democrats can either sit around and continue to blame the republicans and do nothing or they can actually start doing what's right FOR EVERYBODY.


Oh and the way black people have shown that they can get off their tail ends to vote. Now maybe they can get organized and work together to start NEW BUSINESSes instead of sitting around and whining that nobody will hire them cause they are black.

This is a clear indication that affirmation action is no longer needed or necessary.

I'm not saying the civil rights act should be repealed, IT SHOULD NOT.

But let's keep in mind that no organization has the right or privilege to remove the rights of others.

May I remind people of the VAWA, I'll let you folks look it up. It does to men what the patriot act does to citizens of the US.

Keep in mind also Obama is a lawyer, and I warn you now he will either be a great president or he will be a criminal like kilpatrick. I hope for USA that he is a great president.

The war in Iraq would have been over long ago. All it takes is for congress to vote 2/3 to close it. The democrats have been going over there to force the iraq's to start programs like we have here: bans on smoking, planned parent hood, etc. If congress spent more time and money on helping the iraq's to defend themselves and helping them to work together then the iraq's would be telling congress and the president that we can leave.

Obama's administration won't be any different. Again I do hope I am wrong.

Yes, Obama has invited the black population to join America in overcoming the problems inherant in a military-industrial complex.

And they followed. Welcome.

And Yes I will would also like to add, Welcome to a country that does belong to them also and thank you for finally participating, what took you so long.

Haven't there been many black americans in poltics, hollywood, tv, etc. Glad to see many black americans are finally willing to join the country instead of hiding in some african culture which sold your ancestors to people in this country which many white people died for their freedoms (civil war) 2 white people 1 black person freedom fighters. Many white people have been here to help black people get their fair share. but many black people still have been hiding behind their race. So yes again i say welcome also.

Time will tell if Obama is all that his perceived message will happen. I for one will be expecting bigger and better things from him then McCain, for the simple fact Obama said he was going to be bringing bigger and better things to all america and I hope he does. God Bless.

cause remember that white people have proven once and for all that we are not racist. So black people can start being more mature in their civic duties. No more riots, no more whining help us help us.

Black poeple can now act like US citizens and not refugees from the south or from africa.

they can now teach their young not to do drugs and not to shoot their classmates, or commit countless other crimes and blame it on white people.

So amen, welcome to the US of A. Enjoy with pride enthusiasm and most importantly maturity.

Ok Obama did not win because of the black vote 77% of people that voted for him were white. Cyyplesma are you black or white cause if u are white u are real close to being offensive. You dont know that black people "teach their young" to do drugs and shoot their classmates. You make all of us seem like animals. The school I graduated from was mainly white and it was the white kids selling drugs in the school and actually had a prostitution ring in the middle school. I am black and I have never took part in a riot I dont tell my kids to do drugs or shoot people. And when you make comments like that you only prove that racisim is not dead. You act like if you are white then it is impossible for you to commit senseless crimes. You could have worded your comment better. Anyway I am proud to say that he is my president and I am excited to see the changes to come!

I have a question for Zoot_Suit. How is Obama only 6.25% black when his father is from Africa?
