    Power to the people!

  5. Jasmine

    He’s just another puppet busy working for the agenda of the NWO (trying to find new ways to universalize our rights and privacy)…People should really get off of this ,”my president is black”, crap because he will do no more than what they tell him to do! PLEASE believe if he EVER decides to go against the agenda, he won’t be our “black” president anymore. All this talk about “change we can believe in” was just a slogan to push the agenda into overhaul at any means necessary. When will people realize “your government” has plans for you, and that’s to have complete POWER and CONTROL of you (that’s the CHANGE your president was talking about).

    Put all your trust in God…because we surely do need him in this evil, carnal-minded corrupt world.

    —.@5 Jasmine, You need to STHU! You sound like someone else who speaksl that
    —”Most High” rhetoric. If you knew anything about God, you’d know that He wants us
    —to abide by the laws of the land and support the government. America is not perfect
    —but it’s better than 95% of the places on earth. So, put a sock in it…Sarah Palin!

  11. Rose@9175313489

    Well, I love the President and any other man with a lot of money.

  12. JUDAH

    —–@MEAT

    —–Where in the Bible does it say to “support the government”? The Bible says to
    —–abide by the laws of the land unless they conflict with what the scriptures say.
    —–The scriptures tell us to love not the world, and all the prophecies of the Bible
    —–were about the Lord’s anointed awaiting the fall of the wicked empires and
    —–societies that the Lord put his people in to chastise them. You don’t know the
    —–Bible, nor do you believe in it. Beyond that, if you or anyone had even the faintest
    —–idea how these governments are run, you’d know that Obama, and any president
    —–for that matter, is just a glorified secretary.

  13. Amber

    @Jasmine. Well I agree with you even if the majority of the world allows themselves to be deceived. The foundation for the NWO has been laid for centuries; the evil that will overtake the world has his hand on the door & is ready to make his entrance. If I learned anything last year, it was to trust no one, believe nothing you are told, and to cling only to Jesus. Esteem no man because only God can read minds. Figure heads are trained liars and suppressors of the truth. They may look fabulous, but how far are we willing to follow them with blind black pride?

  14. Meat

    —–@ Judah, Why do you ask me about the bible? You’re the one who claims to
    —–be the expert. The one who has perfect understanding. And then after you ask
    —–you immediately go on the attack about what I don’t know… I’m sure you have
    —–read Romans 13:1 (submit unto the government). So, are you trying to debate
    —–the difference between “abiding” & “supporting” the government? If you abide by
    —–the laws, you are supporting the government whether you care to admit it or not.
    —–And, I haven’t heard Obama ask us to do anything against God’s word. You out-
    —–cast need to stop pretending that you know some big conspiracy and secret
    —–that God has overlooked. God establishes America just like he established
    —–the few remaining hairs on your balding head. Obama didn’t squeak by God. If
    —–you don’t like America…why don’t you move to Mexico or Canada? No one is
    —–holding a sword to your throat making you live here.

  15. Lady B

    They are most beautiful couple ever!!!! I am so glad to see Michelle wearing heels…She could be a Super Model!!!

  16. Meat

    —–13.Amber said: “Esteem no man because only God can read minds.” And it’s
    —–strange that you said that right after you said, “cling only to Jesus”. It’s like you
    ——pretend to know Him personally, but you have no insight into his nature.
    ——Philippians 2:3 teaches us to “Esteem Others Better Than Yourself”. Why do you
    ——craft a way to use esteem against Obama. That’s wicked! Jesus would never
    ——tell you to say such things. You have a dark spot, but I think there is hope for
    ——you. I can’t say that for other folks who live life waiting for the government to fail.
    ——And, I’ll take a “glorified secretary” over a dictator or fool anyday. Rethink it Amb.

  17. JUDAH

    ——@MEAT

    ——”Balding” lmao? Huh? Is that your effeminate way of getting me to describe
    ——myself? I’ve never claimed to be an expert but I do know enough to know when
    ——people don’t know what they’re talking about, or when they’re trying to impute
    ——their opinion on the Most High’s Word. You may not grasp this, but “abide” is
    ——not “support” lol. You “abide” to be blameless, you “support” to strengthen.
    ——This is why the passage says that “rulers are not a terror to good works”. In other
    ——words; the anointed of Christ were evil spoken of, and to avoid the Colisseum
    ——& the lions, they were to be blameless. That has nothing to do with “supporting”
    ——the Caesar, or Pharaoh, or Nebuchadnezzar smh & lol. You haven’t heard him
    ——”ask us” to do anything against God’s Word because you don’t know God’s
    ——Word. The man is pro-abortion, pro-h*mosexual, pro-war, & pro-globalization.
    ——All these things are against the scriptures. An idiot knows that in a globalized
    ——world, all countries have the same practices, or will once they are conquered.
    ——This is why the caucasian and house negro contention to “move if you don’t like
    ——it” is simple-minded at best and deceptive at worst. When (if) you read the
    ——scriptures, the men and women of God didn’t run out of the captivity, they waited
    ——for the salvation. You’re too stupid to see that this place is about to fall.

  18. JUDAH

    ——-@MEAT

    ——-Lol, Philippians 2:3 is in reference to the CHURCH IN PHILIPPI, not Barack
    ——-Obama. This is what I’m talking about when I speak of people imputing their
    ——-OPINION and using scripture to justify it. Everything in the Bible is in relation
    ——-to the saints/the anointed, not to men who rule in the kingdom of Satan (Luke
    ——-4:5,6, II Cor 4:3,4). Your problem is that you worship this man as an idol, which
    ——-is what he was set up for in the first place.

  19. Meat

    —–Judah

    —–You’re splitting hairs or “hair”. Anyhow, I could care less about your discription.
    —–God knows every hair on your head and I’m not about to split one with you over
    —–something as basic as supporting or abiding with the law. You must have a sick
    —–state of mind if you spend your day deciding to abide with your wife and family
    —–rather than supporting them. I knew you want to debate something so simple
    —–and trivial. How can good and evil abide in the same room? Either you sane or
    —–your insane. A house devided against itself will fall, but I don’t see you and Amber
    —–overthrowing the government. All I see is two lives wasted on the “abide”. Well,
    —–that’s not the way others chose to live. “Healthy things grow. Growing things
    —–change. Change challenges us. Challenges cause us to trust God. Trust leads to
    —–obedience. Obedience makes us healthy. So, if you’re not supporting the USA,
    —-you’re in an unhealthy state of mind. And, the ref. to Philippians 2:3 was for Amber
    —-not for Barack Obama. She’s the one who said “esteem no man”. Read w/care!

  20. JUDAH

    —–@Meat

    ——You can’t split hairs because you got cut. The knowledge of words is important
    ——for the sake of intent and communication. You “support” a law that you’re in favor
    ——of, i.e. “Thou shalt not murder”. You “abide” by a law by not breaking it i.e. the
    ——laws protecting people of alternative lifestyles. There is a major difference. I have
    ——no idea where you got that quote about “Healthy….. yada yada yada” from, but
    ——that’s not in the Bible. Actually the Lord said to seek out the old path (Jeremiah
    ——6:16). The Lord said that He DOESN’T CHANGE (Malachi 3:6). The scriptures
    ——say not to associate with them that always want “change” (Prov 24:21,22).

  21. N.O.Finest504 - SAINTS are the World Champions

    They look amazing!

  22. SayItLoud

    The first lady looks pretty in that black dress while Mr. President looks dashing. Very nice.

  23. LoveAboveAll

    @ Judah

    satan is God’s greatest imitator; he was kicked out of Heaven because he wanted to be GOD. Stop quoting the bible and instead live by it. Don’t cause division with your words. You of all people should know that even when you don’t agree go in love to your brother to settle differences. Don’t feel offended by my words just want you to think how you speak to everyone who doesn’t agree with you.

    If you have negative things to say after this post the blood of Jesus against you.Every thought and word curse that comes against me from you is bound and sent to the pit of hell forever but you will receive 100 fold back in the mighty name of JESUS!!!!! God Bless you

  24. JUDAH

    —–@LOVEABOVEALL

    —–How you gonna say if I have anything “negative” to say to you, the “blood of Jesus
    —–will be against me” lmao? You’re a damn clown. You should know alot more than
    —–you know about Satan because he is clearly your god. If my words “cause
    —–division” then they must be of Christ (Luke 12:51). You’re another Obama
    —–idolater. You are exhibit A of the type of negro coonery and buffoonery that goes
    —–on in that church system.

  25. Lady B

    @Judah, I have been reading all conversations on this post today between yourself & others. I do understand a few things about the Bible & Life. I know that most people walking this earth is in Darkness…..and Darkness cannot comprehend the Light. I don’t care how you try to break it down on their level, they will never understand or accept the Truth you speak!

  26. Meat

    —-@Judah,

    —-Do you pay taxes? I thought so. Then you do support the American government.
    —-You’re tax dollars don’t just abide in Washington. In fact, you helped pay for that
    —–”Civil Rights” dinner. You can psych yourself into believing that you don’t support
    —–support the USA, but you do.

    —–@Lady B
    —–You sound like an expert on light and darkness. I hope you got that gift honestly.
    —–Coming on here acting all pious. I bet you and Judah voted for Obama. So, if you
    —–”do understand a few things about the Bible & Life”, then you’ll understand this:
    ——There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
    ——Don’t get too caught up in yourself and others. If you have something to say…
    ——say it! But, don’t come on here acting like you want to be Judah’s little Ninja. If
    ——you know so much about the light, I’m sure you wouldn’t be co-signing on CL.

  27. tendy

    get it michelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. S.X.

    my favorite couple ever. both serve as a such respectable role models. and i must say, michelle looks fabulous!

  29. named with hold

    WHAT ARE WE IN CHURCH IN HERE WE SURPOSED TO SAIDE HOW THEY LOOKED NOT CHURCH STUFF OUR FRIST LADY GOOD AND OUR PRESIDENT LOOKED GOOD TO AND WEATHER OR YOU GUYS LIKE IT THIS PRESIDENT IS HERE TO STAY FOR OTHER EIGHT YEARS JUST LIKE THE OLD PRESIDENT’ YEAH. STOP SAYING THINGS ABOUT THEM YOU GUYS DONT KN OW ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT OR HIS FAMILY. GET A LIFE.

  30. Lady B

    @ Meat, No I’m not a Ninja & I don’t know Judah personally….You really need to grow up & stop getting mad & name calling just because someone doesn’t agree with you. I have a right to my opinion and some of the things you said I agreed with too. So get your panties out of a bunch…we are just having intelligent conversation and there’s no need to turn it into something negative:) God Bless Us All!!!

  31. That's How They Get You

    @Judah…Your curious blended interest in religion and conspiracy theory suggests despite your textbook recitation of bible scripture, you are more of a know-it-all than a good Christian. That is in addition to the fact that everything you say is either racist, misogynistic, egotistical, conspiratory, elitist, zealous or a combination of all these things. God loves humility and humility is necessary to truly surrender yourself unto God. You are full of pride. Spreading conspiracies and arguing with commentators on a blog site is an incredibly narcissistic pastime. A friend of mine said today that if you study World religions you’ll come to the conclusion that man has never worshipped anything more than himself. One thing is for sure, Judah, you reinforce that idea without fail. Every word you type reeks of a man who is in love with himself. You delight in these online bouts like a prizefighter delights in pounding an opponent, which is actually quite sad. Here’s a question: if God were to measure your life against President Obama’s, how do you think your fight against MEAT on Concreteloop.com today will stack up against Obama’s fight to provide universal healthcare? That was a rhetorical question; so spare me your delusional reply. And please don’t get political – I have read many of your comments and it is clear that conspiracy and religion are your strong suits, politics, not so much. God is greater than you or anyone can comprehend and if you think bible memorization and conspiracy theories put you on par with God or above the rest of humanity when you clearly have as many flaws as anyone else, then your delusional ass is committing a sin far worse than the basest form of ignorance.

  32. I'm Still Standing

    WOW!!!!!! Judah, Meat, Loveaboveall, Lady B, That’s How They Get You….You are ALL, very very intelligent!!!!!!!! And that is just, My personal opinion.

  33. JUDAH

    ——–@THAT’S HOW THEY GET YOU

    ——–Why did you type all that; put all that time, thought, and energy into it, and then
    ——–say that the gist of it is rhetorical and “don’t reply” lmao? I don’t understand why
    ——–people do that. It’s like saying, “I think I’m smart, so please don’t make me feel
    ——–dumb by showing me how dumb I am.”. I don’t know what a “good Christian” is
    ——–to you, so you would have to cite, show, and prove. If your friend really studied
    ——–world religions, they’d understand that “man” has always worshiped Satan.
    ——–Satan teaches man to worship himself through worshiping him. The only people
    ——–who were taught how to worship the Most High properly are the only people
    ——–that he has ever dealt with, who are the Israelites. I think that what is quite sad
    ——–is that you are clearly a fan of mine; and instead of just having a conversation,
    ——–you choose to approach me in a confrontational, accusatory manner because
    ——–Obama is your god. At a time when this country is trillions of dollars in debt, he
    ——–is concerned with reforming healthcare. This should show the astute observer
    ——–that there is an ulterior motive, which is to force the people to give more of their
    ——–money back to the government. As far as my grasp of politics is concerned, just
    ——–the fact that you speak of Obama as an accomplished person shows that you
    ——–believe in fairytales and fables, which is all politics at it’s higher levels is lol. God
    ——–is greater than any human can comprehend, but the Bible is above your level of
    ——–comprehension which is why you’re so frustrated.

  34. ImThatGurl

    What happened to Michelle’s leg?

  35. BOBBY

    THERE GOES JUDAH INSULTING PEOPLE AND ASSUMING HE KNOWS MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE AGAIN LOL.
    ANYWHO…..THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY LOOK GREAT. THEY ARE BOTH GLOWING. HOPEFULLY WE CAN ALL EXPERIENCE A LOVE LIKE THIS ON VALENTINE’S DAY.

  36. Amber

    @ Meat, Judah inferred what I was trying to say accurately. Some people just can’t admit that their government is anti-God and that ultimately, we will all have to pledge our allegiances to the side of our choice. You harp on my use of the word “esteem” when you knew I meant “putting people on pedestals”. You also know that a lot of black people are being led by blind black pride to hold Obama (& his wife) in this perfect light. You just don’t want to admit what you MUST know if you are any kind of Christian; and that is that Satan is “the prince and the power of the air”. Your government is run by devil worshipers, and has been for centuries like almost every other country in the world. But like Moses asked the children of Israel, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” You keep arguing against other believers in the Truth for the sake of who, Obama?! You think the True God wants me to support a president that doesn’t call on His Name? Watch your president in interviews and public appearances, Meat. He will never identify himself as a Christian because he isn’t one. If he is against my God, then he doesn’t have my allegiance, and he should have yours either. There is nothing to argue with about this for a true Christian.

  37. Meat

    —-Amber, you’re splitting hairs. No man is perfect. But, I would rather put my faith in
    —-God leading Obama and America than the any of the alternative BS from Judah.
    —–Live is good in America. If you’re is not good, then you can’t blame God, because
    —–He has richly bless this country. If you don’t believe me, just ask the rest of the
    —–world trying to make it over here. Judah is like a venomous snake. And, trust me
    —–that comment doesn’t offend him. He’s proud of his distructive comments. It okay
    —–to be wise as a serpent as long as we are to be harmless as a dove. I think you
    —–just wrong about the Obamas christianity. That’s your opinion. You’re not keepin
    —–it 100. Saying that America in anti-God is bad press. Stop it! The world has a
    —–long way to go, but I’ll take the USA path over your top 10, and I’ll take Obama
    —–your top 43.

  38. Meat

    —–32. Lady B, Sorry, I went off, because you disappoint me. Unlike Judah who
    —–only annoys me, I still see hope for you. You’re on the fence, so I borrowed this
    —–poem from Stevie Wonder to serve as a little reminder to you:

    —–”We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
    —–Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
    —–But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
    —–That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
    —–so make sure when you say you’re in it but not of it
    —–You’re not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
    —–Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
    —–And maybe our children’s grandchildren
    —–And their great-great grandchildren will tell”
    —–”Are you in it, but not of it?”
