Oh yeah?

edwards just wants to be vice president. isn’t that obvious?? but anyway.. this is good news for obama!! yay! i’m excited.

That’s what’s up. I knew he would endorse Obama at sometime. Damn, Obama just may get the democratic presidential nomination.

Good! We all know that Barack is going to win anyway! As if he needs any more endorsements….

Interesting….. well support doesn’t hurt.. Obama is an intelligent man so I’m sure he’ll make the right choice for VP…. but yeah Edwards may want first dibs…

YEAAAAAAAAA! !!! Billary might as well hang it up! Barack Obama will be the next president get ready America! YES WE CAN!!! OBAMA 08

John Edwards would be a great running mate for him.

Yes
It’s about time!
Obama 08

REGISTER TO VOTE!!!

EDWARDS FOR VP!

I agree with #7.. He will make a GREAT running mate…
Obama 08
Now let the real campaigning begin… GOODBYE Billary you fought a good fight.. Its over!!!

i think john edwards would be a good running mate too. better than hillary. this should be intresting

Oh please you all just hate her because she is a woman. If she was a man it would be different. Obama is all smoke and mirrors you’re just too dumb to see that. Its true black folks don’t read we follow.

@ #13, What are you talking about, we don’t read? KMT. Hillary Clinton is a front for her husband.

We don’t hate her, we like Sen. Obama more…

Obama 08..

wooohooo x

I think John Edwards should be VP!!! I watched a video of those racist rednecks in WV who still think this is the 50’s refuse to vote for Barack because he is Black. It’s a damn shame that people are still teaching hate.

@ #13
Let it go… It is not time for Hillary to be president.. I don’t think anyone is hating on her because she is a female..The problem with billary is that she is a liar and she ran a negative campaign.. Hopefully she will learn from her mistakes..
P.S. All black folks don’t follow!! There is a lot of educated Blacks who read, read, read, thats exactly why Obama is in the position he is in..

Obama 08 & 12

Obama is the only political person that has ever moved me! OBAMA ‘08!

Edwards is seeking the vice presidency. He held out to jump on whoever the democratic nominee,’s band wagon, if Hill was the presumed winner he would’ve been on stage with her. he’s flip flooper who’s only after his own interest.

I know I read! (it’s good for the soul and mind, and I read to my unborn son) Go Obama!!!

He waited to see who would win so that he can be in the VP running… Nope Obama, not him…I guess he is cool but to predictable…

Obama/Edwards ‘08

#15 I saw that bullsh*t too and these are the people who are only voting for HC because they don’t want a black man for president just plain stupid. But most rednecks are like that they’re ignorant, you’re gonna get alot of this when his gets the nomination, and yeah I said when he gets it. But right now HC is striving for anything now, she’ll take a crackhead’s vote just to try to get ahead of Obama.

At the beginning before this campaigning began I was all for Hilary running for President, now since Obama has been in this thing and me getting to know what he plans on doing for America I switched sides. HC has shown her true colors by continuing doing negative campaigning, and what she’s really like.

@ #13 - I take it you too are black since you wrote ‘we’ - which would also mean that you do not read either and follow like all others??? right?

Your ignorant post almost doesn’t deserve a response….the crabs in a barrel mentality lives within you….go hate on another blog site

Nice combo deal Obama/Edwards

Obama-Edwards ticket- who knows? Edwards is desperate to get into the White House.

I think alot of people saw this coming. I remember months ago when Edwards would sometimes kiss Obama’s ass during the debates, and both of them would launch an attack on Hillary. Good times.

Anyways, let this be the nail in her coffin. Even her supporters are asking her to bow out. Homegirl needs to worry about her debt right now.

I knew he was going to endorse obama because he going to be vice president.

EDWARDS CAN GET THE MIDDLE FINGER!! EDWARDS AND HIS CRAZY WIFE TALKED ALL THE MESS TWO WEEKS AGO ABOUT NOT ENDORSING ANYONE AND HOW THEY DON’T THEIR ENDORSEMENT WOULD MEAN ANYTHING…SOUNDS LIKE A DEAL MIGHT HAVE BEEN MADE OR HE FELT THE PRESSURE TO ENDORSE ONE OR THE OTHER.

HE RAN HIS MOUTH TOO MUCH FOR ME…BUT THEN AGAIN GOOD FOR OBAMA!

13# - POLITICIAN ARE ALL ABOUT SMOKE AND MIRRORS…LOOK UP WHAT PRESIDENT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MESS OF DARFUR…YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED

Go Obama

@ #18… I agree!

@ 13 NICOLE

Um…I really think you need to calm down. Just because someone does not share the same opinion as you believe does not allow you to be rude and talk down about black folks. That’s our problem…lack of supporting each other. We have the right to speak out minds. And so do you but at the same time TALK TO PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPOKEN TO…with respect.

Hillary being a woman is so irrelevant. And nobody hates her…many just dislikes her tatics. Hate is such a strong word to use. The dislike is the way she has presented herself throughout this campaign; lashing out vulgarly at her competitor that makes her look bad. The difference in Obama and Clinton is not that great, they share many of the same issues as far as abortion, climate change, immigration and similar idea in the economy and housing…its their styles of campaigning and reaching out to the people that speak volumes.

Clinton has her name as a plus…she had her husband’s experience and her little clique that follows her. She speaks of her experience. And I ask what experience? Being married to the president or dodging sniper fire in Bosnia?

Obama on the other hand only has a message. He’s about being direct and putting things out for everyone to see verses Clinton who declined to release financial contributors lists and the amounts given, tax report and declines to speak about her husband’s various infidelities meanwhile trying to dish dirt on her opponent.

If this country is running a campaign of how you direct people, money, time and expenses, then Obama gets my vote. Wisdom will always win over so-called “experience”.

And FYI black folks do read. It’s the typical stereotypes people like you put out here that “assumes” we don’t read (no disrespect). To my knowledge many black folks were for Hillary in the beginning. However once the media started playing the races card with their “statistical” percentage or calculations of the black population in each state, we ALL started assuming that all blacks folks where for Obama but that is far from the case. I have many friends who still riding with Hillary. But this race is far from over so you might get your girl after all.

Edwards just want to be in the White House! Edwards could have been a BIG help to Obama when he dropped out in January… If Edwards endorsed Obama back in January then all of Edwards followers would have came out and voted for Obama instead of Hillary! Edwards just want to ride Baracks coat tail!

@13 stfu ok cuzz u make the race seem like we have no intelligence.

i think this will be a great idea but i knew they wasnt going or hillary cuzz she really dont stand chance espially when she low in the polls

we need to stop talkin bout diz and figure out what to do bout Mccain cuzz i know he got somthing planed for obama ..im jus sayin the guy awfull quite !!!

Cosign 13 concerning Obama and black people being followers.

Took him long enough. I knew he would do this after things started lookin extra good for Obama!

If he gets the nom…I so hope he does NOT choose Edwards as a running mate…

am I the only one annoyed by Edwards waiting so long…

If Hillz was the front runner, please believe his endorsement would have gone to her…

whatever.

I hope Barack doesn’t choose Edwards. He waited too long for it to really impact the race and now that he’s probably going to get the nomination for sure - here he comes. Whatever! Barack has done well without Edwards and can pick a much better running mate. Edwards has already been down the road of a VP running mate and lost - Barack doesn’t need him now.

I was there! Such an exciting night! Edwards’ speech was very good. I don’t know if he’s reaching for the VP spot, but he’s unemployed right now so I’m not mad at him. I think this country is ready for change…

I ain’t mad at cha!

… wait wasn’t Edwards talking smack about Obama… politics are confusing.

Always some Uncle Tom bringing hate to the game

There has to be some bridge are some revolver you can use to Take 1 in the head for the rest of the team

I truly hate TOMS

YES HE TALK SMACK…HE SAID AND I QUOTE:

As for Obama, he says: “Sometimes I want to see more substance under the rhetoric.”

… wait wasn’t Edwards talking smack about Obama… politics are confusing.

Why would he choose John Ewards to edorse him.

oops ?

The sad thing, people are getting their panties in a bunch and it’s POLITICS… It’s all game. So where people find themselves getting upset, it makes me laugh. I guess it’s been going on since forever. Everyone wants to feel they have a say;Now we see why politics and religion shouldn’t be openly discussed,sigh.

I was sooo happy when I found this out! John Edwards should sooo be V.P!

Kudos to edwards and his camp!!! also great news pittsburgh steelcity workers union also decided to go with obama’s team!!! hooray!!! make certain we vote in november o8

@30

Thank you cause I though #13 was wrong to come on here and state things like that.

Everything you said was on point and correct and it’s true about this quote:

“To my knowledge many black folks were for Hillary in the beginning. However once the media started playing the races card with their “statistical” percentage or calculations of the black population in each state”

Cause I was in that group, but then everything started going terribly wrong Bill was speaking about race, Clinton jumping on the band wagon with the Rev. Wright mess and forgot her husband use him for couseling during that “I didn’t have sexual relationship with that women” mess OH HOW WE FORGET, but Obama didn’t once bring that up and I thought WOW, even though she’s slinging mud in his face left & right he still focus and want to work on the path of CHANGE I like that, that showed me who had the most experience then, cause under pressure Clinton would choke,cry and throw a major temper tamtem like BUSH is doing now.

So no we need CHANGE and to bring the races together and not apart. I’m all for Obama/Edwards ticket sounds better then Mrs. Thang can you say LOSER.

Who cares ? John is a 2 time loser who is irrelevant in the Democratic landscape and even more irrelevant in the entire political spectrum. The only prayer Obama has of winning the White House is an Obama/Clinton ticket…Even thats a Loooong shot.

You can NOT WIN the WH without PA, OH .. Obama has shown that he can not win there.

He’s looking week has anyone seen the video of him on youtube coping out to all of Moveon.org’s policy desires? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDVDs

The REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO EAT HIS ASS ALIVE !

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems
I will not develop new nuclear weapons
I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

The God that wasn’t there ?
Concrete Loop ! Shame on you and your staff for taking money from this advertiser. At a time when Black America is falling deeper and deeper into the depths of despair
The last thing we need is to be bombarded by advertisements from atheists who are bent on turning people away from GOD.

#13 NICOLE M,

You and your brainless overly feminist ilk are really too dumb for words.

Why not? Everyone’s getting on board the “Obama Express”. I just hope Obama doesn’t choose Edwards as a running mate. He will surely lose the election in the same manner Kerry lost 4 years ago.

To all by intellectual bloggers..

Please do not warrant Nicole M with a response to her clearly ignorant comment. Remember, do not argue with an indiot because, then you’re going have stoop to her level and she’ll beat you off experience.

Judah, I see that your insecurity towards real black people is still glaring. lol

lmao @ #49

Dude, what has atheism got to do with the plight of black America? Anyone can easily argue the contrary. Telling people how to run a business based on your spiritual leaning is beyond neurotic.

@ 47.TMI4ME

Glad to know I am not alone.

The funny thing that MANY do not know is the Clintons use to run with Rev. Wright. Actually Wright was part of the Administration as an Aide while Bill was in House. Wright would introduce the Clintons to local Black Reverends and Leaders in the area of Chicago (and I know because I got people there). I believe the year was 1998. Pictures are now starting to resurface of Wright and Bill. Though they knew each other before those sermons were preached however people are staring to raise questions on whether the Clintons or supporters are responsible for the sermons remerging. If you ask me I think its bizarre yet convenient for all of this to come up.

So yeah…they surely are going to up on that bandwagon. Those sermons definitely take away from all the issues around them, LOL.

You know what am getting real tired of this campaigning and going on and on. I mean am not even in America but yet still it feels like this battle have been going on for the past decade. I mean seriously its take for Hillary to Take a bow and if she really cared about the general opinions of Americans then she would realize that Obama has the popular vote and as such HE IS THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE.

And as for # 13 Nicole, yes you, black people do read. I am black and I read so too are many of my friends here at the University of the West Indies. But I can understan where you are coming from with that statement, I mean how many of you guys on here who swear your Obama supports really sat down to read Obama’s memoir Dreams From My Father or is very captivating book that details his dreams and aspirations The Audacity of Hope. My thing is am glad that you guys who dont read recognize that there is something sincere about Obama and what he stand for, but I for one would be even happier of his supports were informed and could speak to the issues and about the man himself. But it is rather wrong to make a blanket statement as to black people dont read thats why they support Obama, Instead what you should say is that black people should read so as to effectively argue why they support Obama and not Hillary. And I do see a few people on here who take offence to your comment and is proving what I am saying.

But in the end everyone around the world is dying to see the end of the Repulican rain and were are just hoping that you guys make the right decision between Obama and Hillary.

OH AND A NOTE TO J. DAKAR IT WOULD BE NICE IF U COULD DO A POST DETAILING HOW THE LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD VIEW THIS ELECTION, ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE CARIBBEAN SINCE WE CAUSE ARE SO CLOSE TO AMERICA AND WHENEVER AMERICA SNEEZES LAWD KNOWS WE CATCH A GOOD DOSE OF THE FLU. AM JUST SAYING DO THIS IF ITS POSSIBLE.

America, please welcome your 2009-2012 President and Vice President of America. C’mo, we all know what Edwards is doing. He’s not stupid, he just wants to be in office anyway he can. It didn’t work with Kerry and it didn’t work on his own so he’s clearly jumping on Obama’s nutts to make sure he isn’t left out. And he’ll probably succeed. So, like I said, say hello to your new president and Vice President of America!

after watching youtube the one about w.va and racism for obama . anyone one of african descent that goes to there colleges and run up and down the football field or plays b-ball for the people of that community and of that state when the only reason they would support a blackman is when your putting on a show in there colsuiem like back in the roman days. your no good unless you are a show clown. black folks of some dignity IGNORE THAT RACIST RED NECK STATE . if not then motherfuckers WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK. house n-a’s bitches. them folks in that state makes no bones about the disdain for a black running for presdent I’AM tired of these kind of ingrates thinking that there superior . if you play any sport in that state or bring black conventions busiiness, or what ever; you will bow for them apartheid hillbilly bigots . then you are not worth dog vomit and are a LACKEY PUPPY for them race-haters.

i’ll bet HILLARY is gonna vote for mc-same.

Been a minute since I’ve been to ConcreteLoop. Glad to see the political posts still going strong.

OBAMA TRAIN STILL ROLLING ALONG — WOOT WOOT!!!!

To all the former haters, shade-throwers, and ill-informed doubters, it’s okay, all is forgiven. There’s still time to get on-board. I know you told us “dumb black folks” that Obama wouldn’t get anywhere, but he’s gonna be the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT!!! Yahooooooooo!!!

It’s not too late to get your ticket, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!

I strongly suggest you view more at B L A C K W H I T E K I S S .C O M if you love chatting, if you are single and want to find cute girls…

I don’t understand why it took Edawrds so damn long. I knew he would wait til the last minute to do this. Anyway…

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Unreal

What is it that you want from me, lol? Are you a male or a female? Why do you continue to follow me from post to post with your continued nonsense and aimless rhetoric? Do you need attention ma’am/sir? I can’t remember which post it was where you talked about black people having jheri-curls, lmao. You wanted a debate, I asked you a series of questions that went unanswered and that was that. Move along duke.

@13 I am a WOMANIST, and as a black woman I believe gender is just as important to me as race, I do read. And all I know is I believe we have lost the greatness of the office of the president and apart of that means that we lost someone with a moral compass.

In my opinion, Hillary would sell her mother for the seat. I do not trust her to be honest like I have not trusted GWB. They both are too power hungry to see what is best for all not just some.

Forget rhetoric lets look at her action plan and how she has been planning this since 2000. Anyone see how the Clintons only appeared for J. Kerry and Al Gore only after they were assured GWB was going to win. She moved to NYC to set her seat up for the next run not because it’s home but because she had this planned out. There is nothing wrong with that but it puts the party and the people in the hands of devestation (look at our current economy, the war, housing market gas prices) maybe you should have tried a little harder not to put yourself first. Maybe you should be more self giving then serving and no maybe JKerry would have still lost but as you and other supporters seem to believe their is stock in the Clinton name and power so yeah maybe we wouldn’t have been in 8 years of hell with much more to come.

But on a serious note its not that I dislike Hillary it is more that I do not trust that she will do what is best for this country.

Please do not insult black people for doing what others have died for and people like me in the civil rights community have asked for all along, make a choice and vote. You have chosen her and that is your choice. I do not discount your choice so do not sit up in here and discount mine. I am just glad there as been a surge in voter turn out especially amongst African Americans so no matter who someone selects its great!

Edwards already said he dosn’t seek the vp slot which is good because he wouldn’t bring anything.

Obama 08

@30 I agree but the numbers speak for themselves she is DONE! Unless the super delegate steal this like the Republican took 2000.

TONIGHT MIKE HUCKABEE MADE A VERY NASTY JOKE ABOUT OBAMA FALLING FROM A CHAIR AND THAT SOMEONE POINTED A GUN AT HIM! MCBUSH PARTY REALLY NEEDS TO LEARN THAT THEIR ACTIONS IN THE WAY THAT THEY SPEAK AND DEAL WITH PEOPLE REALLY NEEDS TO COME WITH RESPECT! THIS IS THE REASON WE ARE AT ODDS WITH SO MANY AROUND THE WORLD! LAST HILARY WE REALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN THIS YEAR GET ON BOARD AND LETS ROCK! IF YOU LOVE THE US SO MUCH LETS WIN IT BACK! CRYING NOT GOING TO HELP YOU LIKE IT DID BEFORE.

HILLARY CAN STILL WIN THIS RACE IF THE MEDIA IS ABLE TO CONVINCE OBAMA’S SUPPORTERS TO STAY HOME AND NOT GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE.

IN THE NEXT 6 STATES, ALL OF OBAMA’S VOTERS NEED TO GO TO THE POLLS, AND CAST THEIR VOTE FOR OBAMA. THIS RACE IS NOT OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER, AND THAT MEANS UNTIL ALL THE UPCOMING STATES: WEST VIRGINIA , KENTUCKY, OREGON, PUERTO RICO, MONTANA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA, HAVE VOTED.
IF YOU ARE AN OBAMA SUPPORTER, GO OUT TO THE POLLS AND VOTE WHEN YOUR VOTING DATE COMES UP. DON’T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED!!!

^^^Sara, the numbers do not add up. Hillary will not be the nominee even if she won the rest of the states, and please explain how can the media convince Obama supporters to stay home and not vote?

typo>>>how the media “can” convince…

[...] recent endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama by John Edwards has sparked much discussion, but on Friday, Edwards denied [...]

Do I Like Barack Obama

More of the question do I feel MR. BARACK OBAMA can handle the job of President of This United States.
Yes I do think the man can do this , provided he has the support ,weather we always agree or disagree with his decision making at all times , we like (or) most of us love our parents , thus the comparison , even still leaders are only as strong as the supportive components that surround them and with that HE WILL WILL DO ONE HEAVEN OF A JOB.
Just one more , vice president , Hey John (Mr. EDWARDS) you seem to be one cool guy , WHATS UP , would you consider, theres another question?
