what a waste!!GWB

Obama Obama!!

Except for Caroline Kennedy who supports Obama

I watched it, but i thought alot of it was, “here’s the problem, I’m almost out of office, here are some half-assed solutions…HOLLA”

Bush….horrible.

OBAMA 08– ITS ON PEOPLE! Do your research, its truly time for our generation to speak and be heard.

Notice how Bush never mentioned Katrina and or how they still need help? He is the abosoulte worst President in history. We need a change, We need Obama!

#4: Hahaha…That’s great.
All I could think was: you’re talking, but you’re not saying anything.
It’s almost over, though.

Peace and blessings,
J. Dakar

Oh and could Nancy Pelosi possibly have been more bored?

It was hilarious with her half eye rolls, and scoffs. I was right there with you Nance….

The ONLY thing I agreed with was his immigration stance. You have to have a process for immigrants to go through, a real standard process. You can’t tell them to come here legally and not have a way and a process for that to happen. Get ON IT!

his only legacy is this war and an assault on our civil liberties. pathetic.

i couldnt event support that man and give him ratings. i dont support him, not do i respect him.

Lets get rid of the dynasties! Obama in 08!

Don’t forget to report that ALL of the Kennedy’s are not supporting Obama. Some are supporting Clinton.

Also, please do not conveniently forget to post something on Maya Angelou endorsing Hillary Clinton.

Lastly, I also encourage people here to think for themselves. For once, the Black websites, newspapers, radio stations, etc., I frequent are not endorsing a candidate I support, and the bias that I am “seeing” for the first time has stunned me. The Headlines have been twisted to make a particular candidate look bad. Radio stations are playing clips of Clinton Attacking Obama in debates but will not play the entire clip where Obama attacks her FIRST. The Clintons twisted Obama’s words about Ronald Reagan BUT Obama twisted Clinton’s words about Martin Luther King, but Obama is not penalized for doing what he accuse the Clinton’s of doing and the headlines read, “Clinton Using Race to Divide Voters”. Folks wake up.

Concreteloop, I do give you credit for at the very least making some attempt to hide any bias. You are doing that better than a lot of other sites and sources of information.

Obama 4 President ‘08! Thats great that he has the support of JFK’s daughter. My mom told me how wonderful a president JFK was and she was only in the 6th grade when he passed. So for her to know his significance, is truly a great deal and for Obama to be compared to him is an even greater deal. I attended his Rally in Charleston SC and when I left there I felt like he could and would bring faith to our country. Im 22 years old and I have never been this inspired about any canidate!

@ 11. No one “conveniently” forgot to mention that. Most of our round-ups are drafted the night before and the story wasn’t even out yet. I understand your anger with the media, but take that “ish” elsewhere.

I don’t know what to say about G.W.Bush. I’m actually glad that he’ll be out of office in a few months. It is good to hear that Ms. Kennedy said that Barack reminds her of her father. I can honestly say, he does remind you of John F. Kennedy. His personality and everything he plans to bring to the table. It’s not a black or white thing, it’s about change, and sometimes people are afraid to admit, but sometimes, change is a good thing.

That was a very forgettable, half-ass state of the Union address, but what besides wreaking havoc on the world and the country has George Bush done or said that’s been worth a damn?

I have been a Obama supporter since day one! Since that speech he gave at the last Democratic convention, I knew he was special. I think he has something to bring to the the national table, and the international table. I think he has the willingness to go to the table with those around the world that have a different point of view and have a serious discussion about things that effect everyone.

I was almost in tears watching him on that stage with the Kennedys. It just showed how far we’ve come that a black man has such a real chance of becoming president of the United States. The fact that they see in him something so special, something so similar to 2 great men, John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, that they’d throw their support behind him speaks volumes. The world would have been so different had JFK not been gunned down in Dallas and if Robert hadn’t met the same fate in California. I’m just happy to be alive to see a time when someone might be able to complete the mission that they started years ago!

Post #13 Angel, I look forward to reading about the Kenndy endorsment for Clinton as well as the story about Maya Angelou.

J,

I was hoping that you would post this thing about the Kennedy’s endorsing Obama. This is very interesting to me. Let’s be honest, why would the Kennedy’s endorse Obama????????????????????????????????? I am sure the politically correct answer would be that they “believe in Obama” and according to them, it is. However, do you think that is the “real reason”??

I am not a political officiando, but this is the way I see it. This endorsement is questionable, at best. I was under the impression that the Kennedy’s were in bed with the Clintons and had been for years. Why would they jump ship???? Does their endorsement hurt Obama more than it helps him?

Bush…..NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ 16. The Maya Angelou story will probably be in the round up this week. What Kennedy’s are supporting the Clintons? The only reason the Barack endorsement made news is because it was JFK’s brother and daughter who spoke on his behalf. Cousins and uncles aren’t really newsworthy.

Bush all I heard was blah blah blah

Go Obama getting The Kennedys on your side is big biz. Of course the media didn’t let him have his moment, they HAD to talk about the Kennedy cousin that endorsed Hillary.

This news is several days old.

How about talking about battle of the best selling authors: Morrison supports Barak, Angelou supports Billary.

Hey CL, don’t forget Toni Morrison’s endorsement of Barack Obama.
Please everyone check this link:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...oplemorrison_080128193949

the Maya story is all over the net…google it…you hardly have to wait…

why can you give a reform to imigrants us who work hard to get something?

#21
Who cares about who the “best selling authors” are endorsing? Maya’s endorsement of Hilary is only newsworthy because Oprah has made a big deal of calling Maya a mentor… Maya’s endorsement then is merely important in that someone Oprah has canonized disagrees with her… It’s almost a way of garbling what Oprah’s said about Obama.

Poster #17, because Bill Clinton and Teddy had a fight a few days ago. That is why Kennedy did not keep his word about staying neutral.

Yeah, “Change”, “New Way of Doing Things”, “Dynasty”…….all words the Obama campaign is putting so much emphasis on, yet they not only relish in but actually COURTED the support of Ted Kennedy who represents “Dynasty”, “Old Way of Doing Things”.

“The Emperor Has No Clothes”……..is this our future?

Wow @ Carolina K. that’s a really strong statement

Thanks again for the political posts, ConcreteLoop — there is a whole generation of us who not only enjoy discussing celebrities from time to time but also love to be informed on more serious issues. I am loving it.

OBAMA ‘08!

Ba-Rack the vote!

I watched portions of the SOTU last night and I can’t believe this man was our president. He could barely pronounce the words he was saying and if the term “lame duck” ever fit anyone before, it sure fits him. He looked practically limp. His 8 years have been a disaster.

I can’t believe everyone is forgetting about Kucinich. He was the only thing with anything new to say. He was the only one who could do all the “change” everyone is talking about. He actually cares about poor people and minorities. Oh well looks like at least another four years of broken promises. No need to debate Clinton or Obama they are one in the same.

I saw this hogwash performance last night and I am glad that that was the last time the Jorge (intended spelling) will interupt the regularly scheduled program and bore me to no end. And what was the bs about proposing to keep his ignoram tax cuts in effect throughout the next term of office ( yawn, smh) Damn Jorge minimum wage barely went up during yo bogus ass administration and you want to propose to keep us broke even when you not in offce…shit look at tha damn gas prices..the war and the economic recession that is breaking way!!!!!!! All this because of the poor way tou govern. What are we fighting for again?????????????????????????????

VelvetJ

LOL…If a blog chooses to bias or not bias during the campaign…to be honest it’s the writers’ prerogative. Who are YOU to dictate what does and does not go in THEIR blog? If you don’t like it, there are plenty of other blogs on the internet that support Billary. Hell, start your own blog! =]

I think most can agree that this is a fairly URBAN blog and therefore you can expect urban issues/stories to be explored a little more in depth than other non-urban issues.

@ 27

Maybe some black women aren’t supporting him for actual tangible reasons, and not such trite, ignorant reasons as you would like to believe.

Poster# 19 Angel,

Robert “Bobby” Kennedy’s children are. Kathleen, Bobby, and Kerry Kennedy are all endorsing Clinton. As most American’s know, Bobby Kennedy was no insignificant figure in our history (remember that movie “Bobby” that was released about his life on last year with Nick Cannon, Lawrence Fishburne, and Harry Belofante).

So you may find their endorsements insignificant because they are Caroline’s cousins, but Bobby Kennedy’s children endorsing someone says a lot for some people.

@ #6 Daphneyvette

Actually, GWB did allude to Katrina, but Think Progress called his azz on it:

Bush said: “Tonight the armies of compassion continue the march to a new day in the Gulf Coast. America honors the strength and resilience of the people of this region. We reaffirm our pledge to help them build stronger and better than before. And tonight I am pleased to announce that in April we will host this year’s North American Summit of Canada, Mexico, and the United States in the great city of New Orleans.”

FACT — KATRINA HAS SLIPPED FROM BUSH’S RADAR: In the 2007 State of the Union, there wasn’t a single mention of Hurricane Katrina or the ongoing Gulf Coast reconstruction effort. [SOTU, 1/23/07]

FACT — GULF COAST STILL STRUGGLING TO RECOVER: “Almost 40% of the people displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina” lived “below the poverty line last year,” according to a Census Bureau survey. The survey also found that “nearly a third of those who fled the hurricane could not find jobs last year, and thousands more weren’t trying.” [USA Today, 10/8/07]

FACT — BUSH HAS SHORTCHANGED SCHOOL RECONSTRUCTION: The estimated cost of hurricane-related destruction in K-12 and higher education in Mississippi and Louisiana is $6.2 billion,” but “the federal government has provided only $1.2 billion.” Foreign governments contributed $131.5 million to recovery funding for Louisiana colleges, slightly less than the $135 million contributed by the U.S. government. [Southern Education Foundation, 8/29/06

Did anybody else notice that when the address was over …how Bush conveniently skipped over acknowledgement to obama with his ugly beady eyed ass!! He acted like he did not even see him and spoke to all of the ppl surrounding Obama….asswhole!

@ 36.

I noticed that too. Its a shame how polotics compormises the moral character that upholds us a ladies and gentleman. Even if he doesn’t like Obama, as President of the US he should’ve at least shown fair play and been cordial with him.

Such a disgrace.

#36 That is not true. He actually spoke directly to Obama.
http://www.huffingtonpost...s-obama-refr_n_83807.html

And Velvet J, while the RFK’s children are supporting Clinton, RFK’s wife endorses Obama. She said he would be the next president of the united states.

-The reason the RFK’s children story is not as important is due to the fact that they have been endorsing Hillary for a while, they just decided to issue a new statement in the wake of the Ted and Caroline’s endorsement.

If you listen to Obama’s speech from yesterday, he list all of the Kennedy’s who endorse him.

Please do a little fact checking before you accuse a media organization of being biased.

I want to know are a lot of you endorsing Obama because he’s black or because he’s the best candidate. For the first time in a long time we have hopefuls who the majority knows nothing about. It’s best you get on the internet and do some research, the last thing you want is to be stuck with candidates who are not what you thought they were.

This is a very very important election, and while the popular vote doesn’t count in the presidential election, these primaries do. So people get out and vote, before that privledge is take away from you. Like I said do the research so you can find out where they stand on certain views. We need to get this country back morally. We need some Moral leaders in office.

I think that the Kennedy endorsement of Obama is a largely symbolic, albeit meaningful gesture. Blacks have traditionally almost universally supported the Kennedys since JFK, and RFK, & MLK, reaching back to the most crucial times in the Civil Rights era.

Although their current political power has waned a bit, the name and legacy is still rather potent within in the Democratic political machine, are still considered to some as the closest to an American Political/Royal dynasty and should not be discounted. Notice I said BY SOME.

THIS IS A DEVASTATING BLOW TO THE CLINTONS.

That being said, there will be lots of opinions as to whether this will hinder Obama’s chances, considering the “curse” that has followed the Kennedys throughout the ages. Suffice it to say, however, Obama already faces a real threat should he become our next president anyway - don’t forget those militia compounds in Montana and Idaho, y’all, let’s keep it real! But that’s neither here nor there, I suppose. The die has been cast, and he is on his way.

Indeed, Hillary, partnered with Bill, does comprise formidable team, with a lot more political experience than Obama on the surface, but Obama has yet to pick his supporting cast, his
CHENEY, if you will, not to suggest that he’ll be a puppet, but he’ll need a strong VP (My money’s on Edwards). And should he be elected, we can only speculate at this point as to whom he’ll pick to serve in his cabinet.

All told, Kennedy was right, it’s time for a change, the torch has been passed, and I’ll cast my vote for change, accordingly.

yay obama. i’m interested in knowing why people support clinton. I can’t stand clinton, particulary because of her inconsistent take on health care throughout past years.
after reading through this heated debate- I’m dying to know why velvet j is a hilary fan?

@ 38 ….um where does your reference show Bush acknowledging Obama…Like I said I saw with my own 4 eyes him ignoring Obama…now he may have went back and gave him dap but initially he ignored him…Thank YoU!

@40

I love how so many of us keep bringing up “are you supporting him just because he’s Black?”. Yall need to stop that nonsense. Listen, if Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton were running I would NOT be supporting, I would vote for Billary. I am not voting for Obama just because he’s Black. Obama is a very good candidate and happens to be Black. If you would rather support someone a good candidate that looks like me, rather than someone else. We have a chance to make real history here, a change. Imagine the effect on our community if we had someone who looks like us in the white house. This is long overdue.

Ok it did say that but what I saw was different…that’s BS!

#30. Kucinich dropped out of the race.

#45 Yeah, I know. I was just sayin its sad that no one is talking about him and instead going on and on about Obama/Clinton, when really they are the same and Kucininch being the most progressive

Too little too late George…The economy has been bad for i don’t know how long and he is just now trying to do something?

I LOVE Obama. And not just becuase I’m black. I think America needs change and new direction. I don’t know too much about Ted Kennedy, but I’ve heard that he’s a liar, a cheat, etc. Personally I don’t care about him or his endorsement. And lets not forget Bill Clinton isn’t a sain’t either…….(I’m from Arkansas)….we need not bring up White Water, Monica L (adultry)., or any other scandal of that era. The point is people need to make an informed decision before loving Hillary just cause she’s Bills spouse, or loving Obama just cause he’s black. The two generally have the same amount of expericence as Senators.

Personall I believe people are tired of the Clintion and Bush Administrations. Obama is like the J.F.K of our time, in that he’s young and fresh, with new innovative thought. I believe he has a greater chance of changing the way the world (especially militant nations like, Korea, Iraq, Iran, Africa (Sudan), etc who believe women should be seen and not heard) views us. I think that Hillary is a wonderful powerful woman, but I don’t believe she can change the WORLD! If we’re going to see a better economy we need world change, not just American change. These men who run these nations are bread to believe women are inferior. I don’t believe they’ll show her the respect she deserves or take her seriously. And for those of you who do not know how the economy works; let me explain it to you…….

The world’s economy (not just America) is dependent on Foreign Trade. Without foreign trade, there is NO economy. That’s how the World works. And always has. From as far back as History has taught us. And even up to today. The US is dependant upon other nations of the world like Middle Eastern Nations (Iraq, Iran, etc) for oil, coal, etc (i.e. Energy). These nations will supply us oil at a low cost per barrel in exchange for Treaty Agreements to become an ally; which would allow them the use of our Military for protection against their enemies like the militant Insurgents in Iraqi nations. We need them as much as they need us.

If we are going to change our economy well have to negotiate better trade practices regarding our dependency on foreign resources; which would lower everyday American energy cost (electric bills, gas prices, etc). This will have to be negotiated by a fresh face. People in America may feel that Bill Clinton did good for Americans, but how do nations of the world view the Clintions? If she wins, (which I hope she doesn’t) she’ll be persecuted for guilt by association. If these nations feel slighted by any doings of the Clinton Administration, she’ll receive the burnt of it which will effect all of us as Americans.

This election is not only about healing America, but also mending nations of the world. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

Knowledge is truly power!

PRESIDENT BUSH - 2001-2007- “WHAT A EFFIN WASTE”

people love ones dying for the control of oil. bring them people HOME!!! don’t try to blind me by handing out CHECKS….you tried this a few years ago. thanks for the first one, but you eventually got that money right back.

@#7, That is exactly why i didn’t watch…I knew he wouldn’t be talking about anything

Well said #40

I’ve got to commend you again Angel for placing really important issues that young people really need to pay attention to on your blog.

I can’t believe I watched that mess ! He didn’t say nothing he aint already said. And did everybody look like the were sleep or about to fall asleep lol.

I can see why the Kennedy’s endoresed into the Obama campaigne. Obama is one of the most eloquent speakers of today. Kennedy and Dr. King were the same way during the Civil Rights Movement. I’m voting for Barrack not because he is black because the man can reach out to people that some public figures can’t. The old and the new generation respects this man and that is something that is very hard to do. Well the primary voting for here in Illinois is taking place on Tuesday can’t wait If you ahevn’t regeistered, register because we the young kids make a difference. We are the future. Senior Citizens make up the large population of votes and that’s not good people. We young kids need to take a stand get involve

I’m too happy for Obama. I’m so excited to be voting for the first time in this election. I’m for Obama all the way!!!

You just saved me some typing lol. People act like this is not a BLACK BLOG.

Seriously, Black people should not have to defend why they are supporting Obama, nor should people assume that one is doing so because of his race. If a white woman supports Hilary or a white man supports Edwards, it isn’t questioned, nor are they demonized. So cut the bull out! Barack is intelligent, can unite all Americans, is graceful and if the naysayers bother to read his policies will see that they are indeed insightful!

Obama 2008!

Obama!! You’re in when the Kennedy’s endorse you!

The Kennedy endorsement is good, but I think the media is playing up to a nauseating potential. Its big, but not that big and Hillary has received key endorsements today. Congresswoman Maxine Waters in California and the announcement of Maya Angelou. There are a lot others that aren’t being said, I didn’t even know Kimora Lee was endorsing her too until last night, but I remember the big slash showing Usher and others with Obama. Again I respect everyone opinion and their vote. In all honesty, the Kennedy endorsement is very fishy. I am young and don’t know much about Ted Kennedy, but what from what I have heard, he doesn’t have the greatest track record. And the three Kennedy’s supporting Hillary I think two have delegate votes in their respective states, so I would say that counts more. To all the Obama supporters, he has a very very tough task this coming Tuesday. Hillary is leading in the states with the big delegate count and in double digits. Obama really is going to have have a good debate this Thursday. He is going to have to talk about the issues and not just sit and talk about what all Hillary and Bill has to say about him. Everybody make sure to catch the debate this thursday.

Hillary 2008!

Wow not one word about helping our Brothas and Sistas in New Orleans after all they went through, that’s cold…The people of New Orleans are as tough as a dollar steak, for the B.S. this Federal Government has done to them.

I’m sorry but anytime I see/hear anything pertaining to Bush on TV, I flip the channel. He really disgusts me… like really.

I was literally forced to listen to that idiot, GWB give his speech last night, at the laundry.
This fool and all his supporters have made the US the laughing stock of the world.
It sickened me that he was actually getting applause and standing ovations by his sock puppets. Then at the end, the delusional MF started giving out autographs!
Only in America….

Hillary 2008!

______________________________________________________________________

I get your point but remember that Obama was leading in NH by double digits and Hillary some how pulled out a when. I really don’t trust the polls for this main reason, the polls are going off people they have been able to contact via telephone. Most of the young people use their cell phone as a primary phone, which poll workers don’t have numbers to. I am from California and I know that there is a large latino population but how many of those are registered voters (or registered in time for the primary)?

There is a very large number of illegal immigrants here that Arnold and staff have just recently tried to track down, I have a feeling that latio vote (wich is what they are depending on) is not going to turn out like the expect.

Side note: They also have a group called Latino’s for Obama, I don’t know how many of them are included but they looked strong on the news.

correction:” pulled out a win”

I’ve been hearing about Bush’s “approval rating” being at an “all-time low” since 9/11 and the man has retained his office with not even a threat of impeachment. Obviously that approval rating nonsense means nothing and has no point other than to covertly taunt the American public. There’s no need for Bush to “talk about anything” when he knows that his position is safe. Who is he trying to impress? His term is done and his job is done. He followed his orders.

What does the endorsement of one of the most wicked families (along with the Bushes) in the history of America have to do with adding any genuine validity to Obama’s or Hillary’s campaign? In my opinion it only verifies the fact that Obama will and must do the bidding of the higher powers in world government, which means the sytematic continuation of America’s war campaign. We already know that Hillary must follow orders. The comparisons between Obama and JFK are relevant only because they both portrayed an image to the public that has nothing to do with their actual intentions. Ted Kennedy has committed; and gotten away with, every crime that a man can commit and get away with, but his word and endorsement means something, lol? What does that say about Obama? What does that say about Obama’s supporters that they view the approval of a man of Ted Kennedy’s caliber as something positive? The fact that there are “royal families” with dynastic aspirations in America that have this level of clout shows that this whole thing is a charade.

Judah shut the fuck up, gotdamn. Always running your mouth and preaching. Go tell that shit to some muthafuckas who give a damn.

Anyway Bush’s speech was boring as hell and he didn’t talk about SHIT. He needs to just bow out like the sorry piece of shit that he is and go sit under a rock for the rest of his life. Thanks for fucking up the US you white trash!

@60, Jones

I am originally from New Orleans and to be completely honest, it was the state and local politicians that failed the people of New Orleans. As a matter of fact they had been failing long before Katrina. The state and locals left a colossal mess for the Fed’s to clean-up and then complained when they didn’t get the job done. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Of course, the Feds should still be *itch slapped for their incompetence too. Let’s just fairly place ALL the blame.

@67 are there any real organizations that one can give,that will really make sure that any funds given will help the most in need,if so pull my coat as to how I can get with them!

It is so great to see young black people discussing something besides Beyonce’s weave, bleached skin, and whose rocking what gear. Makes me feel hopeful. WE ARE A GREAT RACE as diverse in color as we are in mind. IT IS OKAY TO have DIFFERENT VIEWS. OBAMA in 08. I have heard from very credible sources that the Clintons and Bushes are friends that go way back!!!! I
Is Clinton change REAL CHANGE or simply a liberal approach to conservative ideas. I guess that would be better than Romney or Huckabee!!!!!!

Judah

I was thinking the same thing about Bush. How is it possible that a president can have an all-time low approval rating, screw up the economy, start AND maintain a war so illusory, disrupt nations (just for starters) and not be impeached?

I mean we wanted impeach Clinton for adultery (if you want to call it that).

Come on America, wtf? I can’t even stomach Bush anymore. State of the Union or State of Confusion?

- It is what it is

Since when is ANYTHING that has to do with politics pure or truly full of integrity? That’s why it’s called POLITICS. It’s a game; one that has nothing to do with what YOU as a person think or feels, really.

ALL politicians choose a platform which appeals to a particular group of people, in the hopes that that group is large enough to get them elected.

ALL politicians are beholden to special interests and groups.

ALL politicians are beholden to some degree multi-billion dollar corporations.

ALL politicians promised one thing, then do another.

EVERYBODY’S hands are dirty.

I would hope that most of here are not naive enough to believe otherwise…..

But it’s up to you to do the research and choose a candidate that will accomplish perhaps 50% of the things you’d like them to do. And they have to do this to some degree. It’s always the lesser of two evils. It’s no different than the street hustle - you gotta sacrifice a little but in the end, you gotta get over, right?

BTW, NOBODY”S SHYT IS MORE DIRTY OR CORRUPT OR AS CONFLICTED AS THE BUSHES!!!!!!!!!

Spare me.

8, years in office and Bush still looks like he don’t have a clue

Judah-

One persons endorsement does not speak to the calibur of another persons character. If that were the case, you’d feel the same about Bill endorsing Hillary. Lets not forget as President HE LIED TO A FEDERAL GRAND JURY, which was a blatant disrespect to his role as President, and to the order of law, no matter what the lie was about. And lets not forget about the White Water Scandal which the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) were apart of which involved money laundering of federal dollars for a personal business venture.

I’m saying all of that to say this, I agree Ted Kennedy doesn’t have the best track record, and him endorsing Obama shouldn’t make or break anyones decision in liking or disliking Obama.

Judge Obama for Obama, and Hillary for Hillary (not Hillary for Bill)

Okay, i know I’m gonna catch hell for this, but here goes:
I understand it is the duty of our local, stae and federal gov’t to ensure our safety and security including in the event of a natural disaster, but I also feel some of the victims in Louisiana during hurricane K should also be taking the blame.
I mean, it’s 2008, not 1808. We complain about our politicians failing us, but how many of us are even registered to vote?
We got leaders like MLK and Marcus Garvey and Malcom X who busted their asses to create a legacy for Black folk. Instead we now have the highest prison and AIDS rates in the country- prisons packed with useless thugs and misguided youth,
when we should have a country full of Black scientists, politicians, lawyers, astronauts, large business owners.
And then a truly intellectual and qualified man like Barack Obama runs for President of the SAME nation that dragged us here to enslave and abuse us, but we still make foolish excuses as to why he’s not ready or not “right” for the job.
I tell you. Black folks can be very strange.

JFK and the Kennedy’s are (were) a powerful ruling family. But, JFK had to be an exception to all the puppet presidents of our past. JFK understood the evils of the Federal Reserve Bank…he understood the power it wielded. JFK had plans to dissolve the FRB along with the ruling families who controlled it: i.e., Rockefellers, Rothschild’s, and Morgan’s. Many believe this is what led to his assassination. Those in power feared that Kennedy wanted to return America back to it citizens.

Doesn’t it strike you odd that every prominent figure in the Kennedy family has mysteriously died? Kennedy knew too much. Since the establishment of the FDR, every president has been subservient to this Banking Institute. The FDR is a sovereign entity unto itself…even the constitutional laws of the US doesn’t apply to it. It has the power to print money, lower or increase interest rates…every banking institution in the US and abroad borrow from the FDR…its powers are limitless. Over the years, the FDR has monopolized the gold bullions; its bank vaults house millions of gold bullions. The families who control the FDR have assets that exceeds well over trillions of dollars. They are the true powers of this country.

Great so now Obama has a criminal donating money to his campaign (which he has not donated back like he said he would) and a man who let someone drown to death endorsing his campaign SMH.

Jones,

The only one that comes to mind immediately is Habitat for Humanity. They are actually building people houses and helping to fill up some of the vacant lots. I was there a few months ago and I say they need more of that kind of help than they do anything else. At this point, people just need a place to live if/when they go home. A friend of mines’ mother just went home at Christmas after all this time and her house is still not finished.

Thanks for asking and caring.

Empowering the people!
Knowledge IS power.

#65 I feel where you coming from man the approval rating is so irrelavent. #66 thats what a blogs for to express your opinion…read a book or something.

I didn’t watch Bush’s speech, but I see I didn’t miss much.

Thank you 78!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is adressed to everyone on this blog who believes in the power of prayer, who knows the Word of God, who knows about the blood of Jesus and the power in the name of Jesus. Mr. Obama is in a spiritual fight, we believe (the body of Christ), that Mr.Obama is in the perfect will of God for his life and the country for such a time as this.
This is serious stuff, he is standing against principalities, powers and spritual wickedness in the heavenlies. His war is not with flesh and blood (people) though it appears that way because people many times do not know they are being used by satan especially when they do know the word of God and are not filled with Gods holy spirit.
Please declare the blood of Jesus over his life daily and all that concerns him, speak favor with God and man, declare the hand of God to be upon his life and all he undertakes and declare with me that no weapon formed against him shall prosper and any tongue that rises up against him shall be shown to be in the wrong. In the matchless name of Jesus.
Pray also that the Lord would speak to the hearts of the people, because God (satan) always has a strategy but the Lord has a plan.
His church is praying as well as men and women of God throughout this country.
Once again young people this is serious, this man took a brave step of faith to step out and believe this was Gods will, he did not just do this, he and wife went to the Lord first and sought his counsel so he did not step out alone.
If anyone is offended at this prayer request then God help you we use these blogs for everything else why not use it some to the glory of God.
God Bless all the young people who thoughtfully and tastefully run this blog.

REMEMBER GOD IS LOVE AND WHAT IS INTHE HEAD WILL TRICKLE DOWN TO THE BODY.INTEGRRITY AND CHARACTER ARE BIGGER WITH GOD THAN ANY MANS ABILITIES THAT’S WHY HE DOES NOT JUDGE AND CHOOSE LIKE MAN HE LOOKS ON THE HEART.BECAUSE HE WILL AND CAN GIVE ANYONE WHAT THEY NEED TO GET ANY JOB HE HAS CALLED THEM TO DO WHEN THEY NEED IT.

CHIDREN, I BEG OF YOU DON’T BE DECIEVED BY THE RHETORIC, ABOUT EXPERIENCE…SPEAK TO YOUR PARENTS AND THE REAL BELIEVERS IN YOUR COMMUNITIES.

You know my dad said something to me just this morning he is Pastor I am a college student he said I guarantee you the people who are voting for the Clintons have no knowledge of Gods word, His will for His people (he said God created all mankind for his us), or do they have Gods spirit dwelling in them or instructing them.
He also said the devil is bold and has a lot of nerve.
He said it takes a lot of nerve for the Clintons to even be running for office again and they have no shame, no humility no pride and he said son you know some people live like their pages are stuck together in their bibles and he said this is mans country not Gods and we do what we will and the word of God does not mean what it says and God is just winking.
He said no one in their right mind with any degree of integrity would vote the Clintons back into office we would be doing this country a grave disservice. He siad they have had their time in office and the Lord has not instructed them to do this, this is what they have planned for thier lives for many years, they strategized this even the media has stated so, nothing about what the Lord wants but what they want and they refer to people as votes, the white vote, the black vote, the women vote, the hispanic vote everything is a strategy and many are decieved by following them.
He told me to pray, this is all we can do now, and he said this was a serious time for this country and we do not want to give anyone this much power and he said spiritually this is not time for a woman to lead we have not yet come together as races we don’t need gender wars too and a woman in office at this time would cause that.
God bless everyone, I thank the Lord for my parents for always showing me the right way, Gods way of being and doing right.

oh my father reminded me of a scripture and it says “when the righteous rule the people are exalted.”

I wonder what the scripture was the little lady sent mr.Obama when she sent him t hat $3.01 check he mentioned in his SC speech, I guess she is praying for him too.

@70

Bush followed his orders. Simple as that. When they follow their orders, they will be protected. Clinton was rebellious in regards to certain Middle East policies so they sent that Israeli Mossad provocateur, Monica Lewinsky, in to keep Clinton in his place. There are other agents that the Israeli government assigns to certain politicians and delegates (i.e. Judy Nathan with Giuliani, Golan Cipel with Jim McGreevey, etc.) to maintain their control of American “democracy”.

@71

You’d be surprised how corrupt certain people and families are, lol. The Bushes are useful to the powers that be because unlike most caucasian world figures, they don’t give a damn how they’re perceived. That means that they’re willing to be the hatchet men for the Illuminati, and do whatever it takes, to allot more power for themselves in the process. They don’t mind looking evil. The really bad ones are people like the Kennedy’s and Clinton’s that seduce black people with no intention of assisting them in the least. That’s true disdain (Prov 26:24-28).

@73

I do feel the same about Bill Clinton endorsing Hillary, lol. Who said that I must support Hillary because I don’t support this Obama character? She’s a devil just like her husband, but she will win because she’s been anointed. In regards to judging someone’s character based on who endorses them, the scriptures tell us “Can two walk together unless they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). Before a family with the clout of the Kennedys endorses a candidate, alot goes into that decision, not just politics but spiritual alliances. In other words, they must be on the same wicked wavelength. That’s if the endorsement is sincere and not another ruse to build up Obama before his gallant fall from grace. What will be will be. Like I’ve said, this stuff is like a well-acted and directed movie. I’m waiting for the climactic final scene.

@75

I’ve never read that Kennedy was intent on dissolving the World Bank brother. That’s very interesting. What book did you read that in? The only way that he could have done that is to dissolve the military industrial complex which is impossible. America was built on war and murder. From what I understand, he was killed because he was rebellious in regards to the U.S.’s war in Vietnam. The U.S. stood to reap billions through the heroin reaped from those lands. In addition to that, it was a chance to perpetuate the elite’s population control agenda and sign contracts to perpetuate their military industrial complex. I don’t think that Kennedy was anywhere near the visionary and idealist that people give him credit for. I think he was just another slick politician that has been deified since his death. Even MLK is on record as saying that JFK knew nothing about black people. How he became a hero to blacks in retrospect is beyond me but many black people are always looking for a “goods whites mans” to save them. This is why the media always likens characters like Obama and Clinton to him. They’re subtlely saying that all three are excellent actors.

@79

I ignored that turd and so should you. This is a time when the true, strong, intelligent black and hispanic men and women will start to separate themselves from these negative and mentally disabled entities in our communities.

@82 &84

No person that reads and understands the Bible would vote at all, so stop trying to make Obama a messianically sent savior for our people. If you want to vote for him, then vote for him. That’s your prerogative. The only savior for our people will be Christ (Isaiah 33:22, 43:11). Your pastors are shills (Jeremiah 23:16, Micah 3:11). America is the modern day Roman Empire. Nowhere in the scriptures do you see Christ or Paul participating in Roman government or advocating for any Caesars. When you do your research you see that the early Christians were viewed as a terroristic organization by a Roman empire that preached acceptance “for all” (sound familiar?) because they wanted to be separate and not partake in the ways of Rome (the exaltation of pagan gods, homosexuality, etc.) (II Cor 6:17, 18, I John 2:15, James 4:4, etc.). This is why it was so easy for Nero to pin the fires of Rome on the Christians. Everyone hated them, even their own fellow Israelites (Acts 28:21,22, I Cor 4:13, 11:24-26 etc.). Also when you read Revelation, you see that John the Revelator is on the island of Patmos which was the Roman equivalent of Guantanamo Bay (Rev 1:9). Both Christ and Paul were accused by the Pharisees of being “leaders of sedition” (rebellion) (Luke 23:1,2, Acts 24:5).

@judah…

Very few people understood the grip the FDR holds over this country. And to a point I understand the argument you are making in regards to the World Bank. But the FDR just like any corporation is an entity unto itself. But, unlike any other corporation, the FDR controls the flow of money. In essence, the FDR is money, without which, any viable capitalistic country couldn’t survive. This is the vice grip.

There are several website that reports on JFK’s fight with the Federal Reserve Bank:

This is an excerpt from the website
“President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper “currency” circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.

Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. “

Obama )* 08 barackin it down…

# 74…Natural Mystique….Can we say Victim Blaming? I wish I had more time to write, but I don’t. I wish you had a better understanding of institutional racism then you will understand that the VICTIMS of Katrina are just that victims. They are also victims of poverty and a poor educational system, which begets the former. Can you blame people for not having a car to drive out of the city, or any place to drive to? Are you blaming them for believing that if conditions were to be that bad that the gov’t would and should provide rescue for them. Mayor Nagin did not make use of the school buses that could have gotten thousands of ppl out of the area, (and by the way, those folks elected him to office) and once the devastation occured, the whole city was inept. So then, who SHOULD have stepped in was the state and federal gov’t. Unfortunatly, Governor Blanco did not federalize the disaster, Is that the citizens fault that the governor had no compassion or plain ol’ intellect. Come on, this is America, a country rooted in racism, which has not escaped through the back door, we also have too many privileged ppl in politics that don’t understand they daily struggles of the working class/poor. People are in these conditions because of policies and the lack of care for all Americans by the gov’t. Not to mention the low minimum (non-livable wages), the hiring of illegals which suppresses blue collar wages, to name a few. Perhaps you read too many blogs and confuse the few rich black celebrities for representing blacks overall, they are just a small minority. I only make this assumption b/c your comment seemed to lack a real understaning of the system and the actual events that led up to and continued through Hurricane Katrina. No Disrepect.

@ judah…This is also a short exceprt…which sums-up what the FRB is about.

Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining American institutions.

The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power to create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it back to the government charging interest. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. On this point, it’s interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The incredible power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the banking and academic communities, even support it. On the other hand, there are those, such as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, that have spoken out against it. His efforts were spoken about in Jim Marrs’ 1990 book Crossfire:”

Obama is in trouble. I just read the watch the Florida exit polls. YES I know no delegates will come from that state, but the exit poll numbers are not good for him.
Again, he overwhelmingly had the black vote, but he overwhelmingly LOST the white vote. The Latino vote was 2 to 1. That is not good news for him. I said it once and I will say it again, BLACKS ALONE can’t get him in the white house. He is going to get embarrassed on Super Tuesday.

http://www.cnn.com/video/....democrats.exit.polls.cnn

Obama supporters watch that video

@ onemil02
THanks for the vid,… but lets not leave out the fact they he didnt campaign there and still got white votes ….. he will be okay he just has to be more heard ……..

“OBAMA )*08 and it aint just a BLack thang”

@ 91

I understand that, none of them did, which makes it unbelievable that 1.3 million Floridians would vote know it wouldn’t count towards delegates. Time is running out for him for super Tuesday. If he doesn’t crack that Latino vote and more of the White Vote, he is not going to do well. They might have campaigned there, but I know almost all Floridians have televisions and watch the news and all. I still say it says a lot for that many people to come out and vote and knew the circumstances.

@onemil

You assume OBAMA is in trouble because he doesn’t have the majority of the Whites and Hispanics votes. But, why does that shock you? Do you think it was coincidence that Bill Clinton played the race card throughout this primary? He did it intentionally and with reason. He wanted to wake America up from its stupor …“This is a black man.” That’s all Clinton needed to say and all of the negative connotation associated with the word “black man” would play in the subconscious of every voters, black or non-black.

It doesn’t shock me…just as it doesn’t shock me that innocent black men are being falsely imprisoned. This is America, and it never ceases to amaze me that Black Americans still haven’t a clue how this country operates.

Latin America is notoriously racist. These third world Latin countries run the dirtiest politics. Many of their “elected” leaders aren’t fit to run a hog pen, much less a country. Yet, many of these Latin folks wouldn’t dare elect a black person to run their country….whether it be Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia…etc.

It is interesting, I’ve been to Cuba…and the “whores” abound in Cuba. These same whores who would practically lick my feet, in hopes of some US dollar….are the same “whores” when come to the USA act as if they are above blacks in this country.

So, it doesn’t surprise me that Obama has no favor with Hispanics or whites. After all, this is politics…no one ever votes the issues in politics.

I’m happy about this endorsement. Obama is an authentic candidate. He actually has a vision for this country and a philosphy on how to run to government. The rest of these candidates are just paper pushers.

@ dats_da _truth
absolutly right and people need to wake up and realize that …
@ onemil02 thanks but no thanks like i said he hasnt even said a word there but a clintion has been pr. before so of couse they would go with what they feel more @ home with. but you see OBAMA is a new deal a New BLACK man who actually has the chance and if some didnt believe so he wouldnt have got the votes he did recieve… the audacity if hope aint that something? and yes they watch T.V of course but how much of it is TRUE I CAN BET ANything that if they heard that man speak numbers would have been a whole lot closer …. but since that was not the case they had to go with what they know and thats the dynastys of the past CLINTon … but trust and believe everything happens for a reason …

HILLARY FOR 08…NUFF SAID

@93

I can’t help that some Latino’s are racist. Hey it’s the country, yet the world we live in. It’s sad and wrong, but some poeple are like that. Face it, Obama is in trouble. And another thing, for him to just laugh at the Floridians and say it’s doesn’t matter, they don’t count. THAT WAS STUPID. They might not count now, but if he does get the nomination, he will need their vote, but they will remember how he just snubbed them like her did Hillary at the SOTU last night (which showed his maturity level). And you talking about the issues, you think all those blacks in SC voted on issues??? If you think that, you crazy. I know people around me bluntly saying they voting for him cause he is the black man. So if you going to throw that out, it goes all ways, blacks, whites, etc….

Cute @ dctrinigyal

But this is AMerica We dont need A dynasty effect happen we need to break that chain or we will be in for it. BARACK OBAMA 08 AUDACITY OF HOPE**** A MAN OUR COUNTRY CAN BE PROUD OF …. BECAUSE HE IS “JUST LIKE YOU” he has seen the ends and outs of life and knows the definition of “PROVERTY” ….. IS NOT WHAT HE CAN DO BUT WHAT HE WILL DO FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”.

@95

Shows how much you know, they all took a pledge not to campaign there. He ran ads in Florida. when the others didn’t. Obama is not a saint like the media is portraying him to be. They all had private fund raisers there. So don’t try to say Hillary did this and that when she didn’t. Obama was the one that broke the rules. And the media loves that man. And it didn’t help in Florida and its not going to work super tuesday.

I’m really trippin how yall can pass judgement based on a picture.
I’m really interested in everyone’s actions before and after it was taken.
In all honesty, it looks like Clinton was [rudely] reaching over Obama to shake the hand of the person standing next to him.
I mean come on, yall are acting like you’ve never unknowingly had your pic taken and later on when you saw it, you’re like “what in the hell was I doing?’
Certainly it wasnt your intentions to look like an ass in the pic, right?

@ #97

Black folks arent the only ones voting based on race, believe that…

@onemil02
ok yeai sure but lets not act like obamas the only one getting by…. lets not forget about the clintions shall we ???…..thats politics babi” and obama is here in kansas right now making the floor shake ….not hiliary people waited outside for 3 hrs just to catch a mear glimpse what does that tell you? it not just the media its his words..

@ 102 never said they were and i know that…. but thanks 4 the heads up

@onemil.

That’s exactly my point. NO one votes on the issues in politics. Everyone has their favorites, whether it is based on gender or race. Don’t let the fancy rhetoric fool you.

People will vote for Hillary because she is a woman. People will vote for Hillary because she is white. People will vote for Obama because he is a man. People will vote for Obama because he is black.

Why are blacks being chastised for doing what white Americans and until recently Latin Americans have been doing for years.

If the issues were the only selling points, why would so many candidates chase after the big name endorsements? It doesn’t matter if Obama proves to be the smartest, wisest and most eloquent candidate. Many people will disregard those facts to vote for the candidate that appeals to them the most. This is politics…the true meaning of politics. Mankind can never truly govern itself….every civilization prior to this one has fallen. What does that tell you about politics?

Obama I love you. I pray that you will continue to be true to your cause. It is evident that people are voting not because of policy issues, but they are voting for Billary on name reconition only. People are living in the past. They are looking for Bill to step in on day one and run this country.

Change is hard, and America has not learned its lesson. When America voted this nut we listened to last night into office, I knew this country was in trouble.

Hatred is going to be the demise of America. We are going around the country, calling ourselves spreading peace and democracy.What a joke,

America has not handled the people in this country right, how can we go into other countries and tell them what to do.

the billary machine is destructive. We will not have a democrat in the white house if billary is the nom…

Obama is the only candidate to set this country on the path of peace and freedom, and justice for all.

Many of Americans won’t realize this until it is too late, and by that time they will be looking at another impeachment. and saying we were fooled again.

interesting comments

This is what I want to know.

How do people find a way to dredge Hilary Clinton’s name into 50% of the posts on concreteloop?

This is nauseating. And boring. Please stop.

“…The comparisons between Obama and JFK are relevant only because they both portrayed an image to the public that has nothing to do with their actual intentions. Ted Kennedy has committed; and gotten away with, every crime that a man can commit and get away with, but his word and endorsement means something, lol? What does that say about Obama? What does that say about Obama’s supporters that they view the approval of a man of Ted Kennedy’s caliber as something positive? The fact that there are “royal families” with dynastic aspirations in America that have this level of clout shows that this whole thing is a charade.”

AGREED!

^^^^^^^

Ahem. You still haven’t answered my question. Are you a single mother?

@ JUDAH

I’m in total agreement regarding the Bushes. My frustration is really with the Dems not having the backbone to man the F*ck up and take them on. Republicans (George, Rove, Libby, et al) win because they’re not afraid to fight dirty, fix elections, leak info on CIA operatives and shoot “friends” in the face and walk.

On another note, it’s high time that we abolish the Electoral College. Most people don’t know that their actual vote doesn’t count and that it’s based on electoral votes.

yes ofcourse they would he’s the best…. u no?

I hope I live to see a American of African Decent become president. If I don’t I hope my two child will age 16 and 7

God Bless OB for putting is life on the line to make the country we live in a better place

It’s a shame we can vote for a white man who we know nothing about. But black folks refuse to cast their vote for a black man who you know nothing about…

You took a chance with the white man…. why not the REAL MAN….

@97. I agree with you that Obama needs the Latino vote.

Florida is heavily integrated with a lot of Latin Americans and many of them are republican. President Bush did very well in Florida and his brother was elected Governor. Latin Americans had a big impact in that.

I work and interact with all types of people. In this primary election the Hispanic community was voting for Hillary, so it was expected for her to win Florida.

Latin Americans are people whom believe in Unity. Florida (Republicans) has realized this and eagerly accommodates the needs of the Latin American community.

I said that to say this, don’t count Obama out just because Hillary won Florida.

- It is what it is

@Dats Da Truth

Thank you sir. Much appreciated. I’ll have to do further research on this.

#85 you’ve got alot of time on your hands.

It’s not the amount of time one has, it’s what they do with that time. With the 2 hours you used to think up and type your comment, you could’ve been doing something more productive.

Dubya will go down in history as the worst US president that had to steal his way into office. He has much to be proud of.
