JUDAH,
When you do your research then let me know. To me white people call him Osama because of ignorance. They tried to associate his name first with terrorists and then with muslims trying to categorize muslims as terrorists. Muslims have been targeted since the 9/11 attacks because mainstream media wants Americans to think this way. People from Indonesia have no association with Osama Bin Laden when you look at it. Since you like to do a lot of research I sincerely respect that and I’d say check into the connection btw Osama and our government. I think u’ll find that quit interesting. Also check out the history of the U.S. government and Castro. People wanna know how we got the drugs over here, the U.S. made a pact with Castro that if he supplied us with drugs, we supply Cuba with guns. America got greedy and didn’t wanna hold up their end entirely. That’s why we have so many problems with Cuba now. God forbid we keep ticking Russia off we are done.
#50 that’s right spell it out…. alright Angel (#53) I see you speak on it!
Who are they polling?
Bush pulling troops in 09? He will be out of office is that supposed to appease America pullinig troops out of a country they should have never been in anyway isn’t osma in Afgahnistan or Pakistan that’s where the fight is…. and I see they left out the fact that more troops are leaving within the next month or so… ..
Bush is playing a numbers game and layering the info that is released of course he is keeping the troops steady in numbers until he leaves office it won’t be any less troops then there have been….
I’m glad these guys are coming home to their families, now what kind of help is there available for them when they get home because in truth some are mentally never the same!
@ 53-Kia
GIRL BYE…..Independent is just a slick way of saying that you’re really a Conservative Republican. Which is cool too. If all it takes is a flip comment from some nameless blogger posting on a predominately black celebrity site then Boo you reeeeeally weren’t planning to vote for Obama anyway.
BTW this is NOT the place to come if you’re squatting on the fence. If you haven’t made up your mind by now then you’re clearly not following the issues at hand.
I meant #51!!!
@Kia Carter–Apparently The World Is Attracted To Talentless People
Oh my God you are so extra right. Notice this is also how the primaries went when Jessie Jackson was running in 88. People are always going to find a way to be hateful. Thats the taught behavior of most of us.
“Look at FOX NEWS”, last time I check this wasnt FOX News. If this is a one sided blog them wouldn’t it be just like fox news. Hate and disrespect is hate and disrespect. Like it or not George Bush is the President. He is Your President if you live here legal or illegal. He cant do it all along, he was to have help from the folks that we sent to the congress. That includes ALL members of Congress.
If you want a voice in these so-called polls… google Zogby and get involved. Also, USA Today is widely quoted in the news and Associated Press & CNN.
let’s let them know what WE think bout our candidates.
Kia,
You shouldn’t let bloggers make up your mind on who you want to vote for. Check out the official sites of both nominees. Look at their policies and how they explain them. Look up some background info on both candidates. The one that suits you most is who you choose not the bloggers on a site.
@61
Indonesia does have alleged links to “Al Qaeda” (if you believe in that). There are many alleged “fundamentalist, extremist, militant” Muslim groups there. I believe the official religion of Malaysia and Indonesia is Islam, if I remember correctly.
I agree with what you’re saying to some degree pertaining to why they attempt to link Obama with the name “Osama” but let’s understand something when we talk about the upper echelons of this society, and planet for that matter, we’re dealing with a brotherhood. The people in power do not believe that the average person is mentally apt enough to decipher who should lead them, and honestly speaking, I agree with them. 90% of people, in America specifically, make all their decisions based on vanity and emotion. Thusly, I don’t believe that it’s simply a matter of ignorance. The Dan Rathers, the Barack Obamas, the John McCains, and the Bushes all meet together and laugh about how they reported a “story”, mock debated each other, and what a performance they put forth in what the average person believes is an actual “debate”.
America is already done because Russia will launch nukes on this place and blow it out of the damn water (Ezekiel 38th chapter).
@darkflava
That is bad info. the soldiers that leaving Iraq are going home. the soldiers that were suppose to replace them are going to Afganistan.
GEE,
I’m an independent. It doesn’t mean I’m a slick away from republican. It means exactly what it says, independent. There are independents that vote for republicans and some that vote for democrats. Independents just mean you choose not to belong to a major party so when you vote you are not ever crossing party lines if you don’t like the candidate running for your party. We are the ones both parties are fighting for right now. Since I did research I choose Obama for the run because I agree with the policies he has set forth.
Here’s a link to the Zogby polls that they use in the media. Please sign up and get heard.

McCain’s hands look like chicken feet
The photo of Barack and the little boy warms my heart…MCCAIN’s hands turn my stomach and Bush’s face annoys the hell out of me!
@ 51. Oh please, you must not read the CNN political tracker blog. Crazy comments come from both sides, not just Obama supporters. And whoever believes those bogus polls they show in the news every night need to wake up, they aren’t asking the majority of voters anything.
*APPLAUDS*
DAMN JUDAH WHERE YOU BEEN? GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN! LET US KNOW WHEN YOUR BLOG SITE IS UP AND RUNNING! LOL!
& SOMEBODY DID SAY IT EARLIER BUT AGAIN, MCCAINT’S HANDS DO LOOK LIKE CHICKEN FEET
LMAO@ # 9
Girl I was thinking the same thing!!! Damn!!!!!
We do realize that the election is determined by the Electoral College?
I hope Obama wins, because he seems geniune and real, looking at the picture with him and the kid is adorable. But, all pics with him and kids are adorable. I don’t know what it is, but a man that can connect with kids is so sexy. love Obama.
I won’t say anything about McCain/Palin it’s so not worth it.
That picture of Obama and the little boy is the cutest pic I’ve seen in a long time.
I clerly am going through some ” is this really happening blk president “could be” moment”… but that pic is so touching the lil boy can we say ADORIBLE
That is an adorable picture of Barack and that little boy. I hope he and many children out there truly see that you can be anything you choose to be.
That is the cutest pic and the dimple smile makes you melt.
Judah: Brush up on your civics and government…Obama couldn’t be a senator if he wasn’t a citizen (Article 1 section 2 of the Constitution), not to mention that he was born in Hawaii and last time I checked Hawaii was a part of the United States. Does this rumor go along with the whole Obama is a muslim thing?? I can’t believe people actually believe these rumors.
N E ways……That pic is so precious!!
Wow! I went to North Farmington for my freshman year of high school, that’s crazy!!
FUCK MCLAME AND THAT TRICK AS BITCH PALIN. SHE CAN EAT A FAT DICK! THEM TWO MUTHA FUCKAS WILL RUIN THIS COUNTRY AND WE WILL BE PICKIN COTTON AGAIN IF THEY GET IN OFFICE. I’M SERIOUS AS A MUTHA FUCKA. ALL Y’ALL NIGGAS BETTER GET YO ASSES OFF THAT COUCH ON NOV. 4TH, PUT THE POPEYES CHICKEN DOWN, AND GET TO THEM POLLS. I’M NOT TALKIN ABOUT THE STRIP POLES. I’M TALKIN ABOUT THE VOTER POLLS. GET REGISTERED NOW AND BARACK THE VOTE!! COME ON BLACK PEOPLE. WE CAN DO THIS!! IT’S OUR TIME!

It’s being alleged that Obama is not a U.S. citizen.
Unlikely that Obama could have gotten this far today with Fox news around.
“* HOW TO LOSE CITIZENSHIP: It’s almost impossible to lose U.S. citizenship without renouncing it in writing, and even then Uncle Sam may refuse. Only 612 people either renounced their citizenship or had it taken away in 1996, according to the INS. The number of people who have lost their citizenship during the 1990s has been only about a third as large as the number during the Vietnam War, when many young men renounced their citizenship to avoid the draft. ” Quote Mark Fritz, LA times April 6, 1998.
However naturalized citizens may lose citzenship for treasonous acts and for lying on their applications.
@ Judah, oh pleez,stop it with all these fake ass allegations, who do u work for?, McCain?
that little kid is so cute
WAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKE UP……OBAM 08′……….DONT FALL FA THA DUMB SHIT…..IF U VOTE 4 MCCAIN ..U R NOT VOTING 4 ANYTHING BUT BULLSHIT…..RICH GET RICHER..POOR GET REAL PO’
Now that’s a great picture. I’m sure alot of people saw Chris Rocks’ movie about a black man running for president of the U.S. with Bernie Mac as V.P., remember that part when white people were running out of their homes to get to the pollings places to vote. Well that’s what those folks are going to do come Nov 4th. I said this in May of 2008 and I’ll say it again. People if you are for Obama you must register to vote now for the November election. You would be surprised how many people of color aren’t planning to vote in November. It’s a shame. Talk to your people! Black men if there is a draft you will be banging on foreign soil.
Eww @ McCains hands….
That picture of Obama and that lil boy is adorable, *saves pic* lol.
OBAMA FOR THIS MOMMA!
I luv Obama..
Screw Palin and McClain…

Ron Paul Makes an Appeal for Third-Party Candidates
By Michael Falcone
Representative Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning congressman from Texas who attracted a devoted following in his bid for the Republican nomination, is once again trying to shake up the presidential race.
At a press conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Mr. Paul plans to urge voters to support one of the third-party candidates for president rather than cast their ballot for either Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, or Senator John McCain, the Republican candidate.
“At a time when 60 percent of the American people are dissatisfied with their presidential choices,” Mr. Paul said in a statement, “this could be the year that third-party option brings in a big chunk of the vote.”
Ron Paul has an important point of view to express.
Let’s face it the two party system spends an absurd amount of money and energy blaming eachother for the problems that both of them have been in charge of at some point in time in the past 100 years.
We find ourselves a broken nation. There is little unity. There is dysfunction in Congress. Incompetance in the Administration and a lack of credibilty in the Supreme Court. The press is weak and owned by interests that are more corporate than citizen.
We need more parties. 30% of the nation back the Republican candidate no matter who the GOP throws into the ticket. Another 30% back the Democrat. The other 30% go back and forth hoping for the best.
Time for a new voice. Good luck to you Ron Paul.
the smile on that kid face made me smile! Obama 08′!
thats what i never understood…
if you want to be president of america you always have to hug a kid… why???
Senator Barack Obama and the little boy photo is beautiful……
VOTE BARACK!!!!! 08′!!!!!
Jeeze!!!!!!!!!!
any picture i see of BUSH these days make me laugh…idiot is just written all across his face…..
8,000 may seem like a lot but there will still be almost 100,000 still over there..gtfoh…
@9,i agree.i kept looking at him in the picture.lmao
@81
The question has never been whether it’s legal for a non-U.S. citizen to be President, much less senator. The question is whether he is a citizen. I don’t know if you realize this, but the higher ups in the world create laws for the regular people to abide by, not them. When you see a bigwig on television getting escorted out of his office or mansion in handcuffs, it was because that person either didn’t follow orders or because the brotherhood has decided to make him or her the fallguy. The laws in your beloved Constitution don’t count and when they decide to declare martial law, they will shred that damn thing like some old bills.
@85
Again, do you think that FOXNEWS is against Obama? Why, because they allege his Muslim ties? They haven’t gone anywhere near as hard as they could have, believe me. Ever hear of Larry Sinclair?
@86
Yeah, you idiot, I do. Who do you work for, the Mayans?
@68 Judah
As much as it alarms me, I think you may be onto something. There is something about the current state of politics and world events that smacks of the prophetic scriptures concerning the last days. If people don’t know, they surely better ask somebody b/c this revolution will not be televised.
On a lighter note, I love this picture w/ Barack and the little boy.
Judas the “Propaganda Minister” has struck again. You see how you use these semantics…”allege his Muslim ties.” Now people reading this only see “Muslim ties” which further cement in their minds the crazy notion that Obama is a Muslim. This is the strategy of Toms like you and that racist media outlet known as Fox News. They put out these false notions that play on people’s fear/hatred of the Islam in order to give voters excuses not to vote for Obama. They are actually feeding in the racial biases of this country. Believe me, if Indians had bombed the World Trade Center they would have found a way to say Obama was Hindu. But what the republicans don’t understand is that Muslims vote too. Don’t turn your back on the Muslim community because they might play a vital role in this election. There is a saying my Grandmother used to say to me “The stone that the builder refuses usually becomes the head corner stone.”
To all my fellow Obama supporters just make sure we vote come November 4th and put these Uncle Toms and racist bastards to flight.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer….I am watching you Negro.
Cute dad and adorable babe. I saw his profile on milllionaire personals site “”"”"”"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”"”" last month. What kind of relationship is he looking for on that site?☆☆☆☆☆
@DaisyDukesman
What do you think about Obama’s stance on hom*sexual rights and how it will affect you and yours, lol? Everytime I comment on this idol, you chime in with some nonsense that has no meat to it. You represent everything that’s wrong with black men today; weak, effeminate, shallow, unintelligent, and overly emotional. Were you raised by a single mother? You exhibit chronic effeminate black male behavior: excessive emotion, lack of logical thought process, reliance on the American system, no understanding of the words that you use, etc. Most effeminate black men either join the white man’s police force or army to make themselves feel manly, or they’ll join a gang. I know that you’ve done at least one, probably all three.
You know what you, and many other black peoples’ problem is sis? You cannot accept that this racism will never end. You cannot accept nor understand how deep this rabbit hole is. You’re not intelligent enough to understand what you espouse. You’re angry that the white man doesn’t love you, and because of that, you can’t love nor understand yourself. You mask this self-hatred by lashing out at any negro that will not follow you as you attempt to follow and overtake your master, the white man. You do not have enough intelligence or understanding to grasp what it takes to empower our people, so you resort to the food that’s given to you by your oppressor. If you’re in prison and a black corrections officer approaches you, do you think that he is your friend because he is black? Is a black police officer your friend because he is black? A man of intelligence will understand that any man that partakes and rises up in a racist system is probably a tool being used, no matter what color he is, or is alleged to be.
If people read my commentary; as you do, and read “Muslim ties” when I use the word “alleged” that is their problem and lack of reading comprehension skills, not my issue. You have shown extreme traits of a reading comprehension issue and that is something that you must deal with on your spare time with a tutor. Did your grandmother used to tell you about the cornerstone? Do you know who that cornerstone was? It was Christ (Psalms 118:22,23, I Pet 2:7). Now what did your father teach you?
CL, please stop it…
@Daisy
Stop what sis? I think they have a bullsh*t censor and your comments keep getting caught.
I freaking love this pic of Obama and that little boy!
LOVE YOU OBAMA!!!!!
THE PHOTO OF OBAMA AND THE HANDSOME LIL BOY IS CRUSHING ME….HEARTFELT AND SPEECHLESS!!!!!
Judas,
See my comment on the Jeezey’s voters registration post. I have to resort to clandestine tactics in order to be heard here.
@Daisy
Naw sis, that’s a little too effeminate for my tastes. It’s not that serious.
that a cute picture of obama holding that liltle boy obama 08
Beautiful picture
You black monkeys are so stupid and racist!
Damn buddy with the purple and white checkered shirt has some ashy as lips.
@ Judah, why don’t u go suck balls, ei? Fluff McCain while ur at it, then take a gun & shoot urself in the head it & never show ur idiot ass in society again.
The Obama photograph is priceless! I feel so much pride when I look at it. I see the pride, hope, and admiration in the faces of the men in the background. It is striking to me that at least four generations are represented in the photograph. As a mother of two boys I am excited to have lived to witness this moment in history no matter what happens on Nov. 4. Be blessed!
