THANK GOD!!!!!
“OBAMA 08″

i teared up the entire evening!!!!! this is such a emotional momeent for ALL RACES!!!! but i am totally against Hell-a-ree being even considered as VP.
she would be trying to dominate him, steal the show and possible set him up for harm!!!! my choices for VP would be 1. nancy pelosi 2. oprah winfrey 3. bill richardson and 4. michel bloomberg

Haha. Thanks, #5. It was a long night!

Yesterday, the speech, all the people out to see Obama was just beautiful. It was historic and monumental. And didn’t Michelle look fierce in that purple! You better work Michelle! Barack Obama 08! A Change is Gonna Come!!!!

MLK and Malcom X would be so proud… *wipes tear* I am too this is a defining moment in African American history. Go OBAMA!!!!!

When I first heard the announcement, a chill ran through my body. That surprised me cause I’ve been in and around politics for 30 years. Oh happy day. However, black folks. Remember that the brother is running an inclusive campaign. He can’t win with just black folks voting for him.
Don’t hamstring him with that black segregationist rhetoric. Everyone’s african in origin anyway. I hope Rev. Wright keeps his ass in hiding, wherever the fuck he is. That bullshit he spews has done nothing for “us.” Just look around you: 50% dropout rate, AIDS amongs black women an epidemic, 37% prison population, gang murders rampant in every major city, and on and on. Black ministers should be marching in every community after every Sunday sermon. But no, they are busy driving their Rollses, Benz, etc., out to the suburbs.

About time America had a real President, and that is OBAMA!!!!!!! WOHOOOO!!!

A very emotional moment for me last night…this man has the power to inspire……

Hilary: Proved that she is a real “B” . I have totally lost respect for the Clintons and DO NOT WANT HER ON THE TICKET. EDWARDS IS THE BETTER CHOICE.

Looks like the white house might get a little tanner !!!!

@ Tessa #12……..I disagree….. Obama runs his campaign with the utmost integrity which Clinton nor Mccain can touch. I thought the same thing several months ago regarding this ” dream ticket.” However, I now feel that HE IS THE DREAM TICKET. Personally, I think Hilary would attempt to make him fail to simply for her look better. HELL SHE MAY EVEN TRY TO TAKE HIM OUT ( RADICAL I KNOW LOL)

[...] everyone. Obama is the winner. And Raphael has decided to post a song on his myspace page called CJ Young Politics. There are no [...]

I’m with CrazyGirl.We can’t just let the president do it all.It all starts with us too.As a community.Either you white or black it doesn’t matter.Even though he is black, Obama said he is for all people.I hope you all know where both Obama and McCain stand from because it’s going to a race to the death!And with McCain, I be damned.

—————————————————-GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
—————————————————-YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

———*it’s fun how you have to type weird in the comments box; what’s up with that?

XPERT2007, I agree with every last one of your comments. No matter what happens from this point on, he made it this far. I’m so proud of him!

Did you guys see all of the people at the rally? People of all races cheering on for this man. It was so great! That’s all most black people want is unity among all races, not just our own.

YAY!!!!!!!! I’m so EFFIN happy man…History ladies and gentz…
ps..Michelle looked too fly last night!

…………I still get goosebumps when i hear his speech from last night, yes it is taped,
…………we taped it for our children since they are so young. My husband and I are
…………making plans to attend the inauguration. OBAMA 2008!!!

oooooooooooooooobaaaaaaaamaaaaaaaa!!!

We are so PROUD of you Barack Obama!!!! The world is going to change for the better!!!

I am so happy for Obama and I am really happy that this leg of the race is finally over. Now it is really time to get down to business folks because this country is in turmoil in so many aspects. Everyone is is ready for a change needs to really get off of their asses and go vote! I am so hopeful that he will win the presidency.

I watched Obama’s victory speech last night and it literally brought tears to my
eyes. I am so happy and elated that won!!!!! GO Obama! Enough Said, forget

I am so happy that he got the nomination.. and I don’t think that Hilary deserves to be on his ticket. Chick has been so out of whack and so venomous with her campaign it’s not even funny.

Obama is making history, and I am proud to be a black woman who has witnessed this in my lifetime!

YES WE CAN!!!

************************ It’s on and poppin in this mutha fucka!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!

Oprah for VP? You cant be serious, lol.

***************************** John Mccain can sit his old wrinkled ass down!

The battle has just begun!!

OBAMA 08!

I just want to thank Concrete Loop on their political reporting. There are some black sites that claim to be a cut above the rest,but all they do is read obscure political articles that they assume their readers do not read and then write their own articles claiming “we broke it here first” and claiming “sources”.
Worse of all, they write negative rumors they find on Right Wing Blogs about Obama that have no basis of truth in them and pass them off as Gospel since they are truly Clinton supporters but do not want to alienate their black base by endorsing her . I mean,they did not even CONGRATULATE the man for this Historic Moment. So thank you again Concrete Loop FOR YOUR FAIR REPORTING.

BARACK AND ROLL BABY!!!!
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM 2MORO IN VA!!!!!

MLK Jr. must be proud

I’m starting to tearing up again…oh lawd.

Congrat’s to Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After watching Hillary speak last night. I have to say I’m MAD.
Barak has mentioned sexism and thanked Hillary for shattering sterotypes. Hillary her “whole life” has worked for the advancement in civil rights, but when an Historical American moment happens like this and Mr. McCain and Mrs. Clinton can’t even show one bit of gratitude for Mr. Obama for also shattering the glass cealing,Is unreal to me and disrespectful. Its also something I will NEVER forget.

THIS MORNING ON THE VIEW WHOOPI WANTED TO ANNOUNCE OBAMA WON THE DELEGATE RACE BUT THAT BITCH ELIZABETH HASSELBECK WOULD RATHER HEAR BARBARA TALK ABOUT NUTRITION THAT BITCH IS A BIGGET FOR REAL IF IT WAS MCCAIN SHE WOULDN’T HAVE SAID NOTHING DANG THAT BITCH ANNOYING I HOPE THEY GET RID OF HER

I really hope Obama does not pick Clinton to be his running mate. In the same difference I understand her wanting to win the nomination but I think her prolonging how long she has made herself look real selfish and a soured sore loser. If she would have left the race when she needed in order to help the Dem party I would feel differently about her. I mean she even said she is open to the VP spot if Obama wanted her to be. She is a head of herself. I think she need to go sit down somewhere for a while, for real!

Truly a monumental even had occurred on June 3, 2008. This is no time for nay saying. He came this far by faith and there ain’t no stopping him now, he’s on the move! It was said that when he is officially nominated at the Democratic National Convention that it will be almost 45 years to the day that King gave his famous, “I Have a Dream” speech. Talk about a time in history. I’m so glad I was here to see it.

I’m so proud of Obama, and Michelle looked awesome as usual!

[...] so it is: Barack Obama has claimed the Democratic presidential nomination. Could that dream become a [...]

# 34….i love everything you said…..this is very true

I’m glad the race is finally over!!!! Hillary Clinton knew she was gonna lose months ago……what a crybaby!! She made it so polarizing on her side, that he has to have her as his running mate….UGH!!! It’s officially about to GET NASTY, WE’VE ONLY GOTTEN THE OUTER BANDS OF THE REPUBLICAN/RACIST HURRICANE (CATEGORY 5). THE EYE IS ABOUT TO HIT PRETTY SOON!!!

It’s far from over…it’s only just beginning…anxious to see who he selects as a running mate…also interested to see how he will run his campaign against the GOP.

#8 I agree. This is an amazing event in history! I’m so proud of him and the Americans that voted for him. I believe he will beat the pant off John McCain.

As for Hillary, she should be a shamed of herself , She has yet to recognized that Obama has won if it was the other way around Obama would have been very humble and jumped on board and supported Hillary. Obama is a man of integrity and humiliate, and I love him!

OBAMA 08′

——@NotBuyingit

——Sis, I’m not buying it either. I said from the start that these elections are like
——good action movies. I want to see how this is going to play out. I’ve seen the
——main protagonist, Obama, I’ve seen the villain, Hillary, I’ve seen the character
——actors that were meant to cause confusion, “Rev.” Wright and “Father” Pflegger.
——I want to see where this goes between now and November. They have the
——masses of black people perplexed and confused as usual, so the mission is
——accomplished thus far.

I AM HAPPY AS LONG AS CLINTON IS NOT INVITED TO THE TICKET. that woaman is EVIL.

we did it yall! everyone better VOTE

IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM AMERCIA NEEDS A DAM CHANGE EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT WHAT JUST HAPPEND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES I JUST HOME THINGS GET BETTER FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HELP EVERYDAY TO KEEP THIS WORLD RUNNING.

Congrats to Obama and his lovely family!! I will be saving all of my magazines b/c this is American history! Obama has conducted himself with such grace and class. He is highly intelligent and beat her in every metric. I am so so so porud of him and I believe with our generation’s help he will change this country.

We will need to help him. We need to volunteer out time and donate. Everybody go to is website when you get a chance. I cannot wait CHANGE!!!!!

PS

Hillary gave that speech b/c she needs to get people to donate her campaign and pay off her debt. Period. She is a millionaire and she is still asking working class people to give her money. Classy.

D@mmit…I’m so Proud to be Black right now!!!! :) :)

No matter what, Us democrats have to pull together so John McCain will not win. He is the person we should be watching out for, this man wants to continue the Bush era.

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….I must say although i loved Obama from the beginning, I was a skeptic at first. I didn’t know if our country was ready for a Black..African man to make it all the way. Yesterday, was an emotional day for everyone..i will never forget it. What this means to not only the Black community but everyone in the country as a whole. America is changing and for the better. Obama let’s me know that I can achieve anything, I put my mind to. As i enter law school this fall, i am grateful and know that years ago people died so I could have the opportunity to have a future. People’s blood sweat & tears, black, white, hispanic, asian. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so excited…this is something that I will be able to tell my grandchildre and they can tell their grandchildren. This should be hope for all the lost black boys and girls. Obama..should be your role model not these musicians. Aspire to be greater than your surroundings, don’t let society dictate your life. OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!”let’s go get em”

Bill…. it was actually 17,000 in the arena and another 15,000 outside. This guy is a rock star. And what a sore loser Hillary has proven to be? To use a basketball analogy here: it’s like she has fouled out of the game and refuses to leave the court.

At first, I was thinking that Obama might need Hillary on his ticket in order to have a shot at the White House. But after watching this democratic race, is the more and more she appears too polarizing and has become a pariah across party lines, to be much of an asset. She would derail Obama’s campaign in the same manner Bill Clinton derailed hers. So it’s best if Obama leave her right the hell where she is and seek somebody else. How things are going, Obama can choose a goat as his running mate and still whip McCain’s ass.

Bill Said:

You have a Point Dukeman2000

Although Hillary Clinton has the potential to bring 18 million voters to the table, INCLUDING the Hispanics and Woman Voters, she also brings a LOT of Drama and demands…

Hillary probably wants to be Co-President, instead of Vice President, and she will probably demand a position for her husband & daughter.

Hilliary & Bill have their OWN agenda, and they could be a distraction.

I saw last night that Barack Obama has a way of drawing people
* When have you EVER seen a Presidential Nominee draw 32,000 people to a sports arena, to hear a 20 speech.

That’s Simply unheard of, yet Barack Obama does it with the greatest of ease.

It’s History in the making !

OBAMA 08 all the way!!!! Thank You Jesus….Now let’s prepare for November…..

I luv how he gave Hilary her props…She would of NEVER did that. I believed in Obama since day 1. This is history in the making and real change for our nation…It’s a new day people…. VOTE!

HE’S MY HERO!!!

I feel you #51. You can smell and feel racism - most of the employees are middle-aged white women. (I work at a Catholic hospital.)

Most of the nursing techs are Black. I can bet they are being worked overtime.

08′ Obama. We finally did it as African Americans. I would love to see Hilary as his running mate also. This is truly historic!

I’m so proud of Barack and his family! They have paved the way!! Mrs. Hilary needs to be a woman of her word and “unite wth the party”.

Yes we can!

I am completly overwhlemed! this is an incredibly moment. So many different emotions. He’s the new face of hope, faith & courage. Extremely proud! Yes u can be anything you want to be in life! with hard work and perseverance!!!

All the people who paid the ultimate price for this to happen are smiling in heaven right now. I am so proud. So so so proud. My people we can do it. YES WE CAN!

@ crazy girl bravo …. I agree.

I will not front that I jumped off the couch like YESSSSS lol for so many reasons…… a selfish part of me is proud a president with some African ancestry is going to be sitting in the white house with a black first lady really soon. The rational part lol is happy to have a nominee who’ll at least do well at least a whole lot better than Bush did and will do better than McCain and than Hillary would have in the white house.

@Judah I think you might be on to something, I never thought about it that way.

Please remember that this is still America, however, I do hope he wins not just for black people (Obama is not even black he is irish and african), but for the nation and the need for change and a change in the viewpoints of all other countries views of of America. Obama 08!!!

THE TIME FOR CHANGE HAS COME! Many has said that this Historic moment would never come. Favor aint Fair. Barack Obama is the Fruit of Martin Luther King JR. Barack Obama is the fruit of My Grandparents your Grand parents that labored picking cotton in fields, Marching From sun up 2 sun down he is the Fruit!

Be blessed and get out your vote in Nov. O8!

[...] the streets of NYC Tuesday night. According to the paparazzi, the superstar rapper was elated about Barack Obama getting the Democratic nomination. That’s [...]

This man is DEEP people. He spoke with such poise. His speech was about everything and everyone else but himself.

Hillary ticked me off with her speech. She talked about herself and what she is going to do next. Heffa you lost fair and square, congratulate and move on with it. Her a*s wants to be VP now that she lost the big race? Hell to the no.

Obama will NOT pick her sorry behind for VP because she don’t deserve it. And she got the nerve to ask him to help pay her campaign debt? This woman is crazy.

And don’t get me started on old azz McCain. He knew he had to say something last night cause he know black folks don’t like his sorry butt.

Obama, keep fighting for the people, Mr. President.

J, your Obama video is jumping boo, it’s ok though!

Yay!!!!

“CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”… AND YES I BELIEVE IT!! Definitely a historical moment..We ALL have to unite and make this happen - Obama 08!!!!

hillary: the movie @ youtube!

@ Bill….

You said….”I saw last night that Barack Obama has a way of drawing people

It’s History in the making !”

I have never seen it ever in my life. But did you hear that speech though, man. I was hanging on his every word. Just listening to him sent chills up and down my spine. It was Malcolm X-esque. I believe if you put Obama in cemetary to speak, he’d raise the dead.

YES WE CAN

Dukesman2000

The speech was simply the greatest speech I’ve ever heard in MY lifetime from a great orator and future President.

@ Bill…

Well said brother…well said!!

Not all black men are trifling, not all black men shun responsibility, not all black men are ignorant and thug wannabes, rappers or drug dealers.

Obama has shown the world that you can’t put a black man in a stereotypical box - he has shown the world that there are black men who are intelligent, who love strong black women, and believe in family.

I applaud DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE BARACK OBAMA for being a STRONG BLACK MAN first, LOVING HUSBAND and FATHER second, and THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES third!

LET’S GET IT!!

I cried because people do not understand what this means for black Americans. I was not backing her, but Hillary may have made Obama an even stronger candidate. Even though I found aspects of her campaign questionable, she still earned her respect. Folks lets wish him more than luck…Barack that vote in November.

All I could do is pray and thank God, I am so happy and will work my butt off for his campaign this is history and I am so glad God has allowed me to see it.

The look on Michelles face hugging Barack is priceless!!!
