Barackthevote ‘08!!!

I agree

The photo is breath taking… I love him!!!

Wow at that picture of Obama!!!! Amazing!!!!

REGISTER NOW TO VOTE FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS!!!

Obama better win this election!!! In fact he WILL win this election!

[...] Obama Gets Record Breaking Crowd of 75,000 var AdBrite_Title_Color = ‘808080′; var AdBrite_Text_Color = ‘CCCCCC’; var AdBrite_Background_Color = ‘000000′; var AdBrite_Border_Color = ‘FFFFFF’; Your Ad Here [...]

YES WE CAN!

Obama is the man. Bush and McCain tried to sucker punch him but instead Barack used it as an opportunity to shine the spotlight on their failed policies. He is Change we can believe in. He will win the Presidency.

can you pick me out in that crowd?? Anyway, seeing that Hilary only stayed one day shows me that my vote for Obama is a right one… She gave up on us here in OR…. tsk tsk tsk.

WOW so many people. Thanks J. Dakar for all of the updates.

Go Obama

Barack ‘08!!!! That crowd speaks volumes!

I had to come back and comment on that picture it is powerful. Like the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words but I can only think of three YES WE CAN!

The pic of Obama is great b/c of the sea of pink faces. They say he could not do it but they are wrong. This man crosses color lines and speaks to the needs of Americans.

That’s It!!

Obama 08′
Lets make it happen!!!
I’m excited I feel something great on the Horizon.

wow… not even that evil Hannity can’t deny it.

Obamarama ‘08!

I hate to be the so called “Hater” but he is doing what all candidates do. They talk about change,how things are going to get better. Basically telling what the people want to hear. Then when in office, they prove themself a liar and the country is shocked as if this was the first time this has happened. Y’all are going to kill me for saying that but it’s the truth. If he wins you’ll see. Never put your trust in man.

@27

Why is the pic great because of all the caucasians? So if it was 80,000 black people, it wouldn’t have mattered as much right, smh?

@31

Black people have been putting their trust in man since Reconstruction, and this is no different and no less pathetic. If white people actually believe in this man, it speaks volumes in the trust that they have that he will not upset the status quo.

@judah i agree

IM SORRY IM GOING TO HAVE TO CALL ALL OF YOU OUT WHO IS DOUBTING OBAMA …………”WAIT IM NOT SORRY” bUT …… this pictures SPEAKS great volumes because theM BEING WHITE means CHANGE IS COMING… think about it a BLACK man LEADING WHITES TOO!! thats just what we need … ONE not black america ,white america this is great it means they believe in it to !!THEY WONT A BLACK PRESIDENT JUST AS BAD AS YOU!… GET over it you doubters and grow up and be apart of history buT hey people doubted MLK TOO….. This so called “sea of pink faces” = Volumes of change tell me what other Black man in america today is pulling this………. It’s more that our (african americann race) to when he needs it all …….DUH

LOVE THE PICTURE IM SO PROUD OF OBAMA.

this is beyond inspiring! I’m so proud of Barack!

he has pushed past all of the hindrances and emerged stronger than ever!

YES WE CAN!

holy crap thats alot of white people. if my eyes r seeing correctly…

Daaaaammmmnnnn! That’s a LOT of people.

“Si, se puede”

Black people are the most pathetic people walking on this earth . “the pic is great b/c of the sea of pink faces ” . I guess we’re not worth anything until white people show us some kind of support . lol @ Obama breaking down color lines .

Nice crowd - he should do really well. I think he’ll end up with the nomination, but he’d better watch who he picks for a running mate. I hear that Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebilius is on his list. Well, if that’s true, watch out. Her son (with her blessing) created a game called “don’t drop the soap” which is a game about prison life. I hear it’s full of racial overtones and stereotypes. I also understand that she financially backed this project - which was a college project, and it’s for sale online, but sold out of the Governor’s mansion. I for one am totally against this woman and I sincerely hope that Barack will think twice about bringing her on board. People talk about Hillary, well this woman takes the cake.

Luv’s IT!!!!! OBAMA 4 yo MOMMA!!!!!!

@#4- I got chills too. It’s amazing how far we as black people have come. I’m so proud!! I hope Obama makes it and becomes the first BLACK/ MIXED president.

Some people on this site really kill me lol

Barack the Vote 08

@40 I am not sure what your race is and I will not try to speculate but to say all black are pathetic is sad. The person was just making an observation on what they saw in the picture. I am black and proud of it and I have NEVER been PATHETIC in my life.

That’s a crazy crowd! Go Barack! It’s a wrap Hillary, just sit down please! lol

Ok u didn’t say all but Black people.

OBAMA..!!!
yes..thiz all looks too good..!!
mi man iz crushin em..!!!

–>>OBAMA 08..yes indeed..!!!!

It’s funny how y’all are all up in arms about this man only because he’s black. We been having Presidents for over 200 years and yet not one of them solve man’s problems, but yet Barack is going to solve them because he is black. Like he is the next Messiah. SMH. Things are getting worse people and no man is going to be able to solve it. But you all will see when it’s too late.

OBAMA WILL LOSE TO MCCAIN WITHOUT HILLARY.

@Dame
Lmao . You wanted to get at me didn’t you ? Just like poster #27 was making an observation I was as well. I observed her being elated that white people came out and put the stamp of approval on Obama, as If he meant nothing before until they showed up . Scroll up and read her post . She clearly said the picture was beautiful because white people were there . Her words not mine . Now to add a little bit of information for you I am indeed a “black” women . I just pay attention to what people say and observe . You should try that more often instead of jumping the gun. Then you wouldn’t have to correct yourself later .

holy damn! look at all those ppl………I MEAN REALLY …CMON!!!! …SHEESH HE SHOULD BE IN A BULLET PROOF CAGE!

i mean he did break the record for having secret service assigned to him very early in a campaign

dammmmnnnnnn look at all those people!!!!!!!!!!! im so proud of Obama!!!!!!!!

OBAMA ‘08
OBAMA ‘12

LMAO@ HILLARY…..SHE SAW ALL THOSE OBAMA SUPPORTERS AND TOOK HER ASS 2 KENTUCKY LOLOLOLOL. IF SHE’S GOING 2 CONTINUE AVOIDING COMPETITION THEN Y DOESNT SHE JUST QUIT ALREADY???

smh at the dumbass who said black people are the most pathetic people on earth, shame in you.

on*

@ 54 Shame on you for being one of them .

If this was a cult, i wouldn’t mind joining.

Oregon - definitley a good look! I can’t wait to see him in Tampa on Wednesday! This rally will be PACKED!!!

that picture is just beautiful man. it brings me to tears. so many people follow him. obama 4 president, hillary for vice , and john edwards as attorney general!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Point is Hilary said herself that she had the “working class” white vote. This proves that this man has not only the support of most Blacks, Hispanics - but yes, “working class” White as well. She stuck her damn foot in her mouth and this picture is proof. For far too long have they made it seem that he (Obama) only dominates the “Black Vote”. This man (though he may not be a savior) is for Damn sure a reviver - what has he revived? Our partial trust in the dream we’ve been spoon fed for years. This Great America that is color blind, where justice is color blind and that a non-White can actually lead this nation to a better standing with other world nations.

No one said the man is the second coming of Christ, or that he will make any drastic changes (we’ll have to see). The point is America is giving some-one other than a White a damn chance to lead - end of story.

So what if we’re excited, happy, impressed, hopeful, optimistic - Goodness can we be happy for a change. Seems like the only news Black folk get is negative and us acting a damn fool on t.v. Can we be excited a Black person is doing something positive for a change. He’s doing a lot better than a Rev. Jesse Jackson and lil Al Sharpton ever could.

The man is a real contender. If you can’t respect that then either speak good or remain silent SMDH!

Good-day!

@59, Go On Boy. You make us intellects proud. Loving the point. Anyway, serious note. Go Spurs

I Live in the UK and have been watching things develope theres not alot of news on the uk tv’s but the net is always the door thats open to info

Its a great thing what obama is doing and yes he is pushing back the ‘wall of difference….’

In the words of Sam Cook ” A Change guna come ”

and the whole world will feel it

@51 I wasn’t trying to get you I misread and I did read the person statement and it also said that Obama has crossed color lines. I also can admit when I’m wrong but what you said about black ppl really struck a nerve with me.
I saw in 27 comment a sea of white ppl and I think he/she said it as a surprise at how many there were at the Obama rally. I hardly ever use the “race card” but it’s not cool to attack any race especially your own kind. SMH

@ Dame

I’m not attacking anyone . Im stating the truth . I will not reserve my thoughts on something or someone because me and that person is of the same race. That sounds ridiculous . I don’t care who or what nerve I struck with anyone , It is what it is . Im not into fooling myself . Delusions are all around black people that’s why we are in the worst condition than any other race . Majority of us can’t stand the truth and hate rejection especially from one particular race , that’s why she got excited that those people came to cheer Obama on . As if they set standards for us and them showing up shows we have really made it . Give me a break . And where did the “race card” come from ?

i co-sign with every thing Askme said.

A picture says a thousand words……I am speechless!

OBAMA ‘08!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA ‘12!!!!!!!!!!!!

@63

Please by all means speak your mind as I do mine. I can take constructive criticism from anyone.
I just think you misunderstood #27 statement. The race card came up when you said I guess we are not worth anything until white people approve. I am just glad to see all races supporting Obama because at the end of the day we want a president that will try to solve some issues right that what the bottom line is.
Have a wonderful evening!

Stop using race as a F*cking issue! Not everyone is supporting this man because he is black. Did u survey EVERY eligible voter, you dumb@SS?? Look at the F*ckin pic again. People want to hear this man speak about the issues. Some people are tired of the negativity that surrounded politics “over the past 200 years”. No one has stated that OBAMA was going to solve all of our problems either. I apologize everyone, I didn’t mean to curse, but damn! What a F*cking idiot!

OBAMA ‘08

I didn’t read ASKME’s comment. I cosign!!

Damn did all of Oregon show up?????

I thought Dallas had a big crowd but I think they took the cake.

J.

Your presence is truly appreciated on this site. Thanks for the continued coverage in the political arena. There are many issues affecting us that are more important than celebrity. This coming election is certainly one of them. Who controls and guides America from this point forward is the most important choice that we have as Americans this year. Thank you very much!

Im just glad to see GOOD POSITIVE reporting by MEDIA!! because FOX SUCKS!! that will be a Photo to go down in History… LUVS IT… :}~

DAYUMN, YT FOLKS CAME OUT IN DROVES…

IT’S A LOT OF “REAL” COMMENTS ON THIS SITE WHICH MAKES ME ASK…

WHAT SIGNIFIGANCE IS THERE IF A BLACK MAN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT?

OR DOES EVEN MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL? ANY TAKERS???

Iwas at rally in pittsburgh and I must say that I am so proud of this man for getting as far as he has. I have to be honest, I thought it would be a long time before I would see a non white male as a viable candadate for the presidentcy. Watching this man speak gave me chills. I feel so honored to be part of this historical moment in time. I love my black men and I hope that he is as inspirational to them as he is to me. When I have children, I can now look my son in the eyes and tell him he can be president of the United States,and genuinely mean it. GO OBAMA!

@72>>>the significance is that for the first time in history, a non-white man is holding one of the most coveted white male positions ever. That’s history making in itself. Will Obama be our savior, no, but he brings a new vision to the table. That’s one of the reasons why I’m voting for him.

I was there at the rally yesterday and it was truly incredible. there were people of every race

change the game ?

YES WE CAN!

seeing that picture of borack reminds me just how powerful god will always be over man having the last say

@ 72 - “WHAT SIGNIFIGANCE IS THERE IF A BLACK MAN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT?”

For that matter it could be some one from Asian or Hispanic ancestry. The point is this indeed shows that we have come a lot further than we would have years ago. At-least recognize that, yes there is still racism, sexism and elitism in the world. But I challenge anyone to tell me when would an Obama at any-time in our history’s’ past have a chance (a real chance) at being President of the United States of America? Again, at-least give the man credit for that.

Not because he’s Black (but Lord if it don’t make you smirk a little bit more seeing a brother(a) up there) but because he brings the same qualities to the table as his white counter-parts and has taken the lead. No one said he’s about to ’save the world’ but let’s give him a chance to establish diplomatic ties with other world nations and possibly get us out of the mess we’re in today (I am not a racist, but I be damn if White people don’t start trouble every-where they are. Blacks do too but we are only acting out what we were taught). I believe he may just be the breath of fresh air we need, if not I am still glad we live in a world where an Obama is possible.

End of Rant - sorry.

Also, it’ s not a matter of the Black choice - the man is clearly the right choice. Hilary has already been president if you don’t think she wasn’t up in the White House during her husbands term running things you’re kidding yourself. This would only be a second term for her - for real. Bow out now Hilary and save face!

I am not afraid to say it Come on people, If we had a white man and a black man with the same message, We would support the black man. Race is as Race does. I am not embarrassed to say I prefer this black man. MANy whites support Mccain because he is white. THey would prefer to continue loosing their houses, loosing their jobs, sons being killed in the Gulf War, before they support a black man. THey were duped by Bush and would vote another repub in office before Obama. Does that mean they are racist? Who knows. As of today, race matters.

@ 79 - 100% agreed.

Where’s Waldo

There he is…lmao!!!

I kinda figure my last comment would get deleted but hopefully somebody saw it. Anyways, I don’t care if he’s Black, White, Latino, Asian,middle eastern. He’s going to do the exact same things all the white men did. Tell a bunch of lies to the masses. The masses will not only listen, the will put faith in him and believe. Then once his in power, he is going to prove himself a liar and then all you are going to be shocked and feel so betrayed. All I’m saying is that the man is going to fall short to all of you people’s expectations if he’s the President. Yes people, especially black people, are treating him like he’s the Messiah. Acting like he is going change the world.

Wow, never seen that many people and this wasn’t no concert either.I kind of had a feeling Edwards would endrose Obama.I congrat Hilary and Obama making it this far.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the next President of the United States of America.

He may not do anything particularly special, but at-least he has a shot. And to #83, maybe folk are acting this way because we’ve been disappointed and beaten down for so long. It’s kind of nice to see someone so hopeful doing something so extraordinary that it will reverberate decades from now.

Savior, I don’t think so but for sure he has inspired hope. So he falls short - and?

@ask me That’s my point. What’s makes you think that he’s going to do anything different from what these other white presidents has done? You don’t think he’s lying about all these promises he is making? Have any president been able to keep ALL of their promises to the people? Have not just about every president fall short to the majority of the people’s expectations of them? What’s going to make him different? I just sorry for y’all putting your hope in this man to make a change when he isn’t.

@ Come On People, I see where you’re coming from. I appreciate your comment as well. I don’t put my trust in any one but my Lord and His book, everything/one else is open for criticisms. No man/woman on this earth is fallible, period.

My Point - simply give the man a chance. At-least you can say ‘I told you so’.

Peace

*No man/woman on this earth is infallible, period.

@88>>>Askme, I cosign 100%. Anyone who believes a human being is going to “fix the world” is going to be sorely disappointed regardless of the color of the skin. You are right - the man isn’t even in office yet so we should give him a chance. Excellent reply.

Obama 08 !!
I’m lovin it!!

Sexism definitely played a part in Hillary’s defeat; but I’m not sure that in the end it was any more crucial than the ordinary bizarre prejudices that every candidate suffers. In Susan Morrison’s book ‘Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary’, Leslie Bennetts’ “Beyond Gender” is the longest essay and also the last, so many will never get to it:
dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=103916&ru=279 ,
But it is a scathing, funny, thoughtful review of Hillary’s career in the context of feminism’s failure. I do think Hillary win herself. Because it’s acceptable to attack a woman for being a woman, because sexism is still A-OKAY here in America.

For a long while I had been wondering what happened to the America we used to see on TV. Depsite its problems it was the land of opportunity. When I watched the footage of Hurricane Katrina, that picture lost its lustre, not because of the suffering alone but because of how some of the survivors were treated. Obama kind of restores that faith that maybe in the States it doesnt matter what thenic group or colour you are, you can achieve. I am from Kenya where despite being one colour, ethnic lines divide us still.

that picture of Obama is PRICELESS!
Obama ‘08 All the Way!

@ JACK #92:

You’re obviously female. An embittered one at that… making an irrelevant argument with your lame attempt at peddling your BS feminist agenda. And to think that sexism (against a privileged and condescending white female nonetheless) is more of an issue than racism in America, only betrays the fact that you’re (a) A clueless white person (b) A moron (c) Both.

Wow….I didn’t know Oregan had that many people…what an awesome picture…I only pray that when he becomes president, he truly will make much needed changes. Oh, and I thought most Hispanics were voting for Clinton? That is why she won the states with high Hispanic populations…they would rather die than see a black man in office.

oh my God wow got goosebumps!!!!!
Go get it Obama!

What I don’t understand is how some you say that you are putting your trust in God and The Bible but yet vote for a President. The President’s and government main goal is to help find the solution for man’s problems. In essence saying that they do not need God but rather they can solve the problems themselves. Now I’m not saying to break the law. If you believe that man can not solve the problems we have, then does it really make sense to vote for him/her to solve the problems? It sounds contradictory to me. Plus doesn’t it say in the Bible not to put your trust in man, nobles(governors, Presidents, Senators (etc))?

@ #98 -

While I can not speak for anyone but myself (as I am not Christian), I am Muslim so my life is governed by the Qur’an. However, does not God send people by which His will is done (i.e. Prophets)? Not to compare politicians to prophets but we must put our trust in God (Allah) and pray for our leaders. Regardless of whether one votes or not due to religious beliefs (which by the way if you don’t their policies will still affect you in some-way), one should still have a say so.

As well, saying I trust my neighbor to watch my house or my spouse not to cheat is not disbelieving in God. Trusting others (though you may not have the same value system) does not negate total/complete belief in God’s laws.

BTW: I have never heard any President (candidate) denounce God. And if one truly has issue with separation of Church/State then aside from not voting how about leaving the country(?). I could easily say I am moving to Saudi or Egypt to be ruled by Sharia (Islamic Law) but I am American and I want a candidate with similar values.

Obama presence is just refreshing remember OTHERS he is a multi-cultural man who can relate to both sides of the spectrum…Darn we need the CHSNGE!!!! our country has been under lock and chain by the Bush’s Administration long enough with all the foolywang they have put Americans through! Give someone else a try because as you see and feel they have not done anything but put americans under economic distress and cause ill-wars and abandoned the sick and the poor!!!!! GO OBAMA and please register by November 08 to vote!!!!!

@99 Because you don’t read the Bible you probably didn’t understand what I meant by saying not to put your trust in man. Of course you should trust your spouse not to cheat on you for God( and if I’m not mistaken so does the Muslim religion agrees)hate adulterers. What I was referring to the trust that man can solve life’s problems. When it’s not within there capability.

Just because I’m Muslim and read Qur’an does not negate (again) that I don’t read the Bible. I simply said my life is, however, **governed** by another book. I’ve read the Bible back and forth and have more than one copy.

Let’s just agree to disagree.

Peace

I agree to disagree. But how can you say you are a Muslim when you read The Bible?

#103

Are you Serious right now? How old are you seriously (no disrespect intended my friend). That’s like asking how a science major can take other classes out-side of their degree required courses. I read the Bible when I do interfaith panel at my school, for when I want to know what the Bible commands it’s followers on particular subjects.

Is there something wrong with that, so I am supposed to not know any other religious book, beliefs, tents, pillars, rituals because I subscribe to another faith. It’s about expanding your knowledge - and in some instances in strengthens your own faith.

Education is so important right now - please.

You have deviated so far from the topic with this train of thought.

Wow ! I just asked a simple question. You are the one deviating from the topic. You know what I can see where this is headed. So you have a nice day. I’m sorry if I offended

Im very proud of Obama and scared for him at the same time…

AMAZING! SIMPLY AMAZING!
