But on a more serious note, comparing Pres. Obama to Bush, Bush isn’t one tenth the man Obama is, though he almost certainly wins re the size of his penis (dick), cuz that is all he is. Maybe related to why he chose cheney also.

Well, there was the gay hating maggot christian preacher Ted Haggard (and so many others), whom it was not at all surprising to find out likes to have guys suck his member so much that he was willing to pay for it. Now that Bush is out of office, maybe someone will dump the truth about them. Maybe Cheney’s gay daughter. Think of it – the two of them …………………………. [smiles]

Obama’s skin colour makes absolutely no difference in how he will govern. But it makes all the difference for the black youth out there who have a role model in the highest office in the city. Real or perceived, there is a wall that separates the races in people’s minds. It’s tough for people to break through the wall unless they’ve seen someone who appears like they do has done it first

Obama will not be able to change the world for each of his constituents. He is one man. What he can do is inspire people through his oratory and his natural charisma; to incite them to do those things that they could and should do for themselves. Some people have no idea that they have the power within them to make a difference for themselves and for their lives. They are resigned and cynical about the situation. What’s more is they don’t know it. And they don’t know that they don’t know it. If Obama can give them hope and inspire them to be the change they wish to see in their worlds then maybe he can change the world for each of his constituents – each one who actually takes his messages to heart.

Obama is far left and could potentially alienate all the centre-right supporters he now enjoys. Even still, he is your President. As one nation, it’s critical you support your President regardless of your political beliefs and opinions. Most people criticize people of the opposite political stripe rather than working with them. One of the great things we could learn from Ronald Reagan is that it is possible to disagree with someone and still work with them towards a common goal. Rather than criticizing and dividing, you could seek to understand and influence.

My political leanings are conservative. I wouldn’t have voted for Obama in the election. I don’t think his ultra-left tendencies will work well for everyone. But he is the President. He is charismatic. He is inspiring. He’s mobilizing people on a scale the likes of which I’ve never seen. He has all the skills of a great leader and that’s what people need most in a President.

I heard a great explanation of the progress that Obama represents. Dr. Joy Browne said on her radio show today that Barak Obama’s election to the Presidency doesn’t represent progress for the black people. They’ve always had it within them to become whatever they wanted to be, given the right circumstances. This represents progress for everyone else who, in electing Barak Obama President, have finally realized the right circumstances. It’s not the end of racism. It’s not the end of prejudice. It’s not the end of division. It is an umprecedented step towards creating a colourblind and unified America.

I’m not an American. I don’t agree with his politics. I think he lacks experience that could be valuable in the Presidency. I think there are a lot of things that make him a less than perfect President. And yet he still excites and inspires me. I’ll support inspiration any day.

Either way, we as the people need to individually get up and make a change.

I was in DC today and I can honestly say that most of the people there voted for Obama solely because he is black. So when people say they want “change”, what they really mean is they want a different skin color on their President. It is absolutely ridiculous to assume that Obama’s skin color automatically makes him the personification of change.

Truth be told, Obama’s connection to the African community is flimsy at best so all this hooplah baffles me. His African father, whom he mentions all the time, wasn’t exactly a fixture in his life. (Didn’t he leave when Obama was 2…) And also, didn’t Obama grow up in Hawaii and Indonesia? So kudos to Obama for dexterously maneuvering between races so that he could seem as black as possible when he needed to and as white as possible when that was necessary.

All Obama does is tell us the obvious, but with some soaring rhetoric. The real problem here is that Americans NEED the president to tell them something as basic as “pick yourself up” and “save your own ass.”

Yes, today will go down in history. Perhaps as the day American’s brought about positive change to the nation. Or perhaps, as a start of a series of events that reveals a grave mistake.

If i understood what you said here. So if i were to change the skin of my color, that would change the face of a country?

You have got to be kidding me. Have you really examined what is behind the face?

Also “ituptoyou” made a great reply too.

Both of you guys get the reality of this whole situation.

Keep posting great replies.
