OBAMA FOR THIS MAMMA! MCCAIN AND PALIN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE TRASH THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS. THE SMELL IS BURNING MY NOSTRILS.

@#7 I said the same thing…….Dr. King. He is very motivational and gives you something to believe in. My husband and I are voting for him tommorrow.

Even the music in obama’s ad lends a “troublesome” feel.. but u know what.. we can not live our lives in fear. we can’t breakdown people.
GOD has not given us the spirit of fear, but the Lord has given us, POWER!

I’m predicting on next tuesday when concreteloop post Obama’s victory they’ll be 1000+ post

OBAMA 08!!

Ms K I totally hear Martin in him AND in Michelle…they have that great oratorical quality-a hallmark of the African aesthetic-alive and well in American politics!

Thanks for the post,.. I was looking for this and I am amazed you guys were the first one to post…GREAT JOB!!

OBAMA 08!!!

Did anyone else catch the tax cut plan numbers? I could’ve sworn he said he was going to raise taxes on everyone that makes more than $250,000 a year. in the 30 minute special he said $200,000. I’m pretty sure someone is gonna hop on that ASAP.

I don’t make either of those salaries so I’m good lol!

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

I finally found some cute Obama shirts that I actually like!!!

I voted on Monday….Florida dont forget to vote! November 2 last day for early voting!!!

OBAMA=CHANGE.

American’s its coming to the wire. Don’t sleep on this one. Vote early where possible as there will be obstacles on November 4th.

CL y’all are biased. I’m an Obama supporter to the core, but come one…. Must it always be bad news about the McCain camp or the GOP and good news only about Obama?? I know y’all are Obama supporters too but I mean, give me a break!

GREAT AD, VERY INSPIRATIONAL…AFTER WATCHING THAT, THE RACE SEEMS SO LOPSIDED, HOW COULD ANYONE NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, HE IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS RIGHT NOW. MCAIN AND PALIN ARE BOTH JOKES…OBAMA ‘08…

I didn’t waste thirty minutes of my life. That was a great watch. If he don’t win, it’ll be another day in fearful America. People we have to stop being afraid, convert that fear to hope man for real. Obama/Biden 08!

Tivo the Obama ad will watch later as I just got home from voting. It took 3 hours, but it was definitely worth the wait!!!

PEOPLE PLEASE GO OUT AND VOTE EARLY!!!!!

OBAMA 08

OBAMA 08
LET’S GO!!!!

heading to the polls tomorrow - i’m so geeked up.

funny how john m and sarah p are fighting for the spotlight

@What- can you tell me something positive about the McCain/Palin ticket? I am being serious. I am an Obama supporter also but I have been waiting all these months for McCain to tell me something about his economics plan, or what he plans to do to help out the working class people. I am deeply saddened that he has gone the route he has with all the negative campaigning. The old John McCain would have had a plan, but the minute he picked Palin as a VP it’s been down hill all the way and all of his actions since have been questionable.

Obama/Biden 08!

#15, i think he changed that figure last week…at least that’s what the replublicans were saying last week…

@#27 oh okay good. because last thing im trying to hear is another negative ad by McCain saying flip flopper, yada yada ya

CAN WE SAY BULLSHIT??? THEY’RE COMPETING TO GET THEIR WORDS IN, AND MCCAIN LOOKS UNCOMFORTABLE AS HELL EVERYTIME PALIN STARTS SPEAKING….”PLEASE DON’T LET THIS CHICK SAY SOME STUPID SHIT I’VE GOT TO EXPLAIN LATER.”

OBAMA ‘08

@Obama 08..i caught that as well!

Missed Obama’s ad…I’m watching pundits cover it now on CNN…But I was skeptical about it…it seems like overkill honestly…and I thought initially it somehow backed up the charge that he’s all celebrity. Not so. It can’t be a bad thing, spreading your message…I’ve loved the pieces I’ve seen so far…and though the music was a bit lalalala I think he did an amazing job…he was really specific and straight forward.
As for Palin, she is NOT qualified to be President or even Vice President and I have the sneaking suspicion that perhaps she isn’t qualified to be Gov…Many have suggested she weasled her way in, running on generalities and her husband basically ran the show. She obviously knows nothing..absolutely nothing and this whole thing has been a shame…especially the insinuation that she might run in 2012…are you kidding me? She’s the future of their party? Well, I’d say your party just imploded… It’s a circus.

I voted for obama!!!!

this is my very first time voting in a presidential election….representing for the youth vote

Go Obama, can’t wait to vote, love the Obama’s, what a beautiful family.

CONCRETELOOP, I KNOW THIS MIGHT BE SELFISH OF ME TO ASK, CAN U GUYS PLZ TAKE JENNIFER/FAMILY PICS OUT OF CORNER? I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT THEM WITHOUT CRYING, ESPECIALLY JULIAN. IT’S HARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ANYBODY FAMILY, BUT IT’S JUST SUMTHIN ABOUT IT BEING JENNIFER THAT PULLS AT MY HEART. MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE SHE IS SO HUMBLE AND DOWN TO EARTH AND HER FAMILY WAS THE SAME WAY. KNOW THIS IS OBAMA’S POST, JUST HAD TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST. THANK YOU………………

#27, Did he really say 200K? Originally it was 250K ad then Republicans said he sad 200K and Biden said 150K in an interview… hmmm…I hope this doesn’t hurt them…

Funny how there is not one black person in Obama’s 5 million dollar video.

Well you obviously didn’t watch it..dick riding on other peoples blogs instead of actually watching the video yourself

I so agree with #7 everytime I hear Barack Obama speak…I hear martin luther king…and thats a powerful thing. Obama 08 people. Although I do not live in the states I reside in Toronto, Canada. You Americans need to support Obama because it affects Canada too.

Cause he still trying to convince some white people to vote for him….if u go on other blogs they are going crazy with the new ‘terrorist’ link….one lady basically said he’ll turn the whole country muslim….waiting to see if stupidity would win out next week.

where did my comment go?

**********I loved it the way he worked in the stories about the different family *******struggles was great to me. It wasn’t a;; about him and that what I loved too.
*****His voice is powerful and strong and it makes me feel safe I can’t wait for next
*******Tuesday/Wednesday.

actually there was a black couple in the video…an older married couple..the 72yr old husband had to go back to work and take a loan out on their house to afford the wife’s medical bills.

Sarah Palin couldn’t politic her way out of a wet paperbag with a hole in the bottom. Obama and Biden have been at the bottom, so they understand the plight of the working man. Obama should be the next President becuz he’s got what it takes.

I signed up to work in VA on election day to ensure that everyone can vote and will not be turned away if there is no legal issue, so I am hoping that all the volunteers like me will assist in making the VA election a non-contested issue. Pray for us all!

OBAMA 08, its time!

OBAMA - BIDEN 2008!

That 30 minute final address was brilliantly done. Even though I know Obama was reaching out to die-hards like me (he locked up my vote ever since he announce his candidacy in Illinois), but rather the so called “Undecided” It beats the hell out of me what they are undecided about; either they know deep down they cannot vote for McLame and “Shit for Brains” Palin but even worse, they cannot vote for a Black man; that is what these undecided voters represent.

As expected this 30minute campaign commercial/segment was well crafted and meaningful! I am so blessed to be in this time and space to witness all that this campaign has been. I voted last week and will continue to pray that the “right” man get’s the job.

Barak the Vote not just for today but for the future!!!!

**Yes, this infomercial was brilliant. He could have even aired this earlier on in his campaign and it would have been **just as effective. I thought I was the only one who heard MLK in his voice. At first I used to think Obama **sounded like the “Rock” which he still does, but more so Like Martin. This commercial was very well put together **and you can tell they took their time and didn’t just throw some BS at us. He gave precise answers on how he **planned on changing our Economy and broken Health Care and creating better schools for our children and tax **cuts etc. What I liked most about this is that it wasn’t all about him. He played his way into each story and it fit **perfectly. And to the one who said there wasn’t one black person in the add must have not seen the whole thing **because there was an older couple he mentioned who owned their home and the husband was around 72yrs **young and his wife had **arthritis and could no longer afford her medication being she had to take about 12 pills a **day so the husband had to go back to work at Wal-Mart and this was even after they had taken loan out on their **home. Each story had it’s uniqueness. One thing is it really saddens me when I hear Obama talk about his mother. **You can tell he’s so heart felt it’s so relatable being I lost my mother to a couple years ago. Obama seems VERY **approachable and relatable. His voice is so soothing and it really makes you feel like he’s talking directly to you **and you can really feel the sense of hope when he speaks. At the end of the segment when he was in Florida and **he was saying how he wanted us (the people) to make some calls for him, knock on some doors for him and walk **with him, he’ll be sure to get this country back on track. The last few minutes of this gave me chills and it actually **brought tears to my eyes because we have truly been blessed to have Obama as our future President and may **god keep him and his family during the hurdles he’ll have to overcome with all the racism that’s out here. Times **he’ll face! Obama is a brilliant man and I can’t wait to see **him in that Oval Office and his children being able to **run down the halls of the WH!!!

***Obama/Biden 08

for #15…and the 250,000 tax cut vs the 200,000 cut discrepancy on Obama’s commercial/ads etc….
His Tax plan explains that if you make LESS than 250,000 your taxes wont be increased….if you make LESS than 200,000 your taxes will be DECREASED…there is a 50,000 window where tax payers who are in this window wont see an increase or decrease in their taxes…..EVERYONE else OUTSIDE of this window will see a change in their taxes…whether it be increased if you make more than 250k…or decreased if you make LESS than 200k…this is very important for us to know, even if alot of us arent making that much, because its a tactic that the GOP will try to use against Obama and undecided voters to question his integrity….KNOWLEDGE is power folks! Lets use it!!!!

saw him yesterday at a rally here it was awesome and crazy. It’s time for time change, REP had 8 yrs to prove their strategy it’s time to try another approach.

Early voting is so cnvenient, why wait until Nov 4th if you can vote early which just about every state can. Go vote.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE RULES, you have to vote for the presidency separate from the party line vote. SO DON’T just mark DEMO or REP and think that you’re voting for the president of your choice.

@ #36

Yes there is….

and his name is Barack.

Sidebar: Lol @ “It’s a grim binary choice, but apparently it came down to whether to make Palin look like a scripted robot or an unscripted ignoramus.”

I’ve been saying for the longest how Obama reminds me of Martin Luther King. i feel like he’s martin reincarnated.

I’m so PROUD of Obama!!! He does put me in the mind of Dr. King! I’m in tears over the ad…

@19

HONEY THEY JUST TELLIN’ THE TRUTH. THEY HAVE TRIED TO PUT NEGATIVE STUFF UP ABOUT OBAMA, AND THEY ARE USUALLY SHUT DOWN BECAUSE IT’S JUST NOT LEGIT. IF YOU ARE OBAMA SUPPORTER U SHOULDN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HOW NEGATIVE JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN ARE PORTRAYED. THAT’S WHAT WE WANT!

It was a great AD. It had me in tears, it is so sad what families are going through. I myself had to move back home. I’m losing money due to the company I work for had to get a little government help. If Barack doesn’t win it will be a sad day for America.

OBAMA ‘08 IN 5 DAYS!!!

———@36

———Forget about little facts like that. He’s going to save the world and make money
———materialize out of thin air that will save white America and thusly make white
———America love and respect black people after they have not done so for over
———3800 years. Once white America loves black people, then black people will
———have a reason for living.

Obama is such a breath of fresh air! I’ll be @ the polls EARLY and with bells on!

I early voted here in Ohio yesterday. It was empowering, exciting, and easy. The line moved smoothly and once it was over, it was a feeling of becoming a part of history. I encourage everyone who can vote early to do so (do not be discouraged by lines or anything)…. and if your state doesn’t have early voting, please do your part on Nov. 4 and vote. It is about more than the beautiful words, it’s about our future.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

I agree that I can hear martin in Obama. I cried and I feel good about this man running for president.

When you get past all of the mud slinging and spin… what have McCain or Palin really laid out as their economic plan? nothing. They have floated a hodge podge of suggestions (from a spending freeze, to earmarking 300 billion for mortgage buyouts*socialism*, to not taxing anyone? to taxing health benefits). Their ticket is grasping at straws without one solid stitch of a concrete way to pay for it. McCain has not yet said the word poverty. Much less given any specific examples of how he would combat it. He has NO… understand me NO economic knowledge. My tenth grade son understands the free market system better than he does. Trickle down hasn’t worked since Reagan *and if we are honest, for the middle class it didn’t work then*. Please go back and do a little research.. 1987 stock market crash cause by Regan/Bush failed deregulatory policies. Now please believe we are not in this just for lip service. Obama has proven that he is willing to take sound counsel and will gather intelligence before making decision. We need steady/sound leadership like that…. not that shoot from the hip and hope people buy it crap that McCain is selling. He and Palin can’t even stay on the same message as each other. I definitely don’t want them in-fighting in the white house.

The Infomercial was well done, We need to get out an vote people, this is not going to happen any other way. Now, there are obviously allot of Black folks on this board, we especially need to continue the trend of record turnounts against us, on November 4th.

Its amazing, I was listening to THIS AMERICAN LIFE Podcast this morning and you know in Pennsylvania there are actually Black “Democrats for McCain” that are going around from house to house convincing prejudice white voters that they don’t have to vote for Obama, because McCain is a better choice.

There is something to be said about any African American person who can look at this African American man trying to break the highest, hardest glass ceiling in this country, in the face of subtly coded racism and all-out blatant racism — and support the other candidate.

What’s interesting about Blacks that aren’t supporting Obama, is that they will no-doubt reap the benefits of his Presidency should he be elected to office.

@19…..SO WHAT!!…CL IS NOT BIAS, THEIR EXPOSING THE TRUTH, ITS UGLY BUT NEVERTHELESS ITS THE TRUTH. AND SO WHAT!! IF CL WERE BIAS…LIKE US THEY WANT OBAMA 2 WIN AND 4 THAT SIMPLE FACT, THEY GOTTA DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WHICH IS TO SWAY THE UNDECIDED AND TO SWITCH THE REPUBLICAN VOTE.

AS FAR AS OBAMA’s AD…WELL DONE MY BROTHA!!…IF NOTHING ELSE, I THINK THAT PUT HIM OVER THE TOP….I WAS TRYING NOT 2 JINX IT AND I KNOW WE’RE NOT DONE VOTING YET (PLEASE VOTE!!!) BUT I THINK WE GOT THIS ONE IN THE BAG BUT IM STILL PRAYING AND STILL URGING AND PLEADING TO PPL TO VOTE.

OH FUNNY STORY…ITS NOT REALLY FUNNY BUT ALL MY JAMAICANS WILL UNDERSTAND…ANYWAY MY MOM WAS TELLING ME THAT IN JAMAICA THIS MAN WAS WALKING AROUND IN KINGSTON WITH A McCAIN SHIRT ON. AND THEY BEAT HIM TO DEATH. NOW ITS REALLY NOT FUNNY LIKE I SAID BUT YO WHEN I TELL U IF JAMAICAN PPL WERE ABLE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA, HE WOULD WIN BY A PERFECT LANDSLIDE! AND THIS MAN LOOK LIKE HE WANTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND DIDNT KNOW HOW TO. HEY JAMAICANS ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR POLITICS AND EVEN MORE SERIOUS WHEN IT COMES TO A BLACK MAN RUNNING 4 PRESIDENT! WE DON’T NEED TO KILL PPL THO BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO BE ENTHUSIATIC ABOUT CHANGE AND VOTING IS THE WAY TO DO IT!!

OBAMA 08

@36…DONT EVEN GO THERE…IF U WERE PAYING ATTENTION THERE WAS NOT ONLY A BLACK COUPLE IN THE AD BUT THERE WAS A VARIETY OF CULTURES SO DONT START POINTIN THE FINGER OR PULLIN OUT THE RACE CARD….THE PPL ARE NOT GOIN TO BUY IT

#19

Let me get this straight: you are accusing CL for being biased for supporting Barack Obama?

Any smart publication, blog etc. will pay very close attention to its base. Angel has to ask herself a question in order to keep this website’s viewership high. That one question is “what do my readers want to see/read?”

It is clear that there is a bias here. There is a bias to black culture, hip-hop news, black history & yes, black politics.

99.9% of CL’s vistors are supporting Barack Obama, so then why would you expect the site to shoot themselves in the foot by reporting news that their readers aren’t interested in?

The McCain Palin campaign has been extremely negative lately, tNO NEWS OUTLET has been reporting any GOOD news on McCain’s campaign lately.

He had me from day one, but my admiration and respect for him was taken to a new level while watching the video.

Obama 08 all day he is the right man 4 president
Mccain needs to drop out cuz he already no he gonna LOSE
i can’t stand driving around and seeing those Mccain signs… i just don’t c y people wanna vote 4 him

I had my entire family watch the Obama informercial. I have nothing but praise for it! It was very enlightening and if you are one that has not kept up with the issues, this piece certainly got you up to speed on the Democratic views.

I voted two weeks ago and I’m ready for this election to HAPPEN! I just think America has waited a very, very long time for change and it is just over the HORIZON!

If you guys haven’t seen it yet, there’s an email floating around with a huge billboard stating “Even Rednecks Can’t take it anymore, Vote Obama 2008!” Man, that ish was HYSTERICAL! I mean c’mon, even THEY know what time it is! LOL

Obama/Biden 2008 baby!

Tasha I think he is more Malcolm X-esque in his speeches, but of course Malcolm brought more fire.

Urmother

Did you watch the special last night or are you just going by what other people told you? You said something to the premise that there were no black people in Obama’s video. Are you serious? If you watched the video you would know that the old couple where the woman who said she has arthritis and her husband, though retired, still has to work at Wal-Mart to cover her medical bills. If you did not notice, they were black. Next time know the facts before you go out on limb that again.

I’ll be gald when Nov 4 is over and done with ! Im so sick of seeing Obama and those black ass lips .

@ Judas

—–No, he will materialize money out of thin air, he is going to raise the taxes on the
—–people who make 250K or more and he will bring the troops home from Iraq
—–which will ultimately save $10bn per month. I mean, you just disregard everything
—–the man’s been telling you because feel justified in your hate leaning on your own
—–own misuderstanding. We do have a chioce, either raise taxes on the wealthy or
—–borrow more money from China. America will not love and respect Black people
—–because Black people do not love and respect themselves. Look at all the
—–aspersions you have cast against your own. If you want to know what self hate
—–looks like, look in the mirror.

——-@72

——-He is not my own so I have no idea what you’re talking about and neither do you.
——-I don’t think that you grasp the fact that this paper money is monopoly money.
——-There is only one way for America to even act like they are going to try to reform
——-the economic problems, and that is through war. The problem with you idiotic
——-black people is that you believe everything that you see on TV. You get what
——-you deserve. Note that the economic problems in America resulted in the same
——-problems WORLDWIDE. That is becaus the economy and the government of the
——-world is GLOBAL. Thusly, how can America “borrow” money from China when
——-China is using paper currency as well? All nations that use paper currency are
——-under the thumb of the Federal Reserve. Pawns like Obama are put on TV to
——-soothe the fears of the average sheep so that you won’t be ready when that
——-sword comes across your neck. Go back to thinking like one of these women.
——-They love Obama because they believe that he will enable them to get closer to
——-the white man and get more power in this fictitious world that the white man has
——-created. You, like a true simpleton, follow on the coattails of this nonsense.

@Daisy

—–Obama is Malcolm X-esque, LMAO? That shows and reveals alot about how
—–bugged out of your mind you are. I agree with the sisters who said that he is like
—–”Dr.” King. They are/were both 1) hom*sexuals 2) pawns for the socialists 3)
—–pawns for globalization 4) absolutely full of B.S.

Judah aka Terrence:

You have to be kidding me, thats an extreme claim even coming from you. Man I like your songs and some of your other writing, but your political perspective is a bit skewed.

You are not prepared to accuse Barack Obama and Dr. King of being homosexuals? That is a completely unfounded statement. There is nothing wrong with homosexuality — if that is someone’s choice — but I mean, they were/are both married men.

And in case you need to be briefed on King’s indescretions: he was a womanizer, not a closet homosexual.

And if you’ve determined that Obama is gay off the outlandish and now, publicly discredited claims made on Youtube by “Larry Sinclair” then you should research his polygraph results on that story.

Folks, lets get a grip!
