Of course I woke up this morning with a big fat headache, and a well of tears in my eyes, but I shall move on. I do not dislike Obama on a personal level, nor do I dislike his supporters, I am simply disappointed that Americans are so misinformed about American history and politics that they would elect the most liberal Senator in Congress, just because he is a Democrat and a black man.
Surely Obama offers “change” and “hope” to the many African Americans who have felt isolated and abandoned by a society and a history that judges men by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. I submit, however, that what Obama has successfully done is turn the late and great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s rhetoric on its head. Whether it was Obama’s intention or not, many Americans voted for Obama based upon the color of his skin, not the content of his character. This conclusion is based upon my finding that Obama’s character is surely lacking, in particular, in his new job as Commander in Chief of our Republic.
I am happy nonetheless for my many African American friends who see this as an opportunity to advance a color bind society, and I hope they are right. But at the same time I cannot help but be pessimistic. As I mentioned above, I think most people voted for Obama either because he is a Democrat or because he is black, and not because he is the best person suited to be our President. Poor John McCain didn’t have a chance, even though he is a former Naval Captain and POW, with a long history in the Senate of reaching across the aisles to advance change for the better.

Look on the bright side; now we get to see which party can take defeat like men, and not like babies.
Don’t despair....actually some good things can come out of this. We got rid of the Clintons, the press will now have to hound Pelosi, Reid and Obama with the tough questions, Obama will now have to back peddle on his campaign promises and the Republicans are now free to move to the Reagan right and shrug their shoulders when the Poo hits the fan when the dems start fighting....which will allow the Republicans to win big in 2012!!
“I am happy nonetheless for my many African American friends who see this as an opportunity to advance a color bind society, and I hope they are right.”
You seriously believed that?
What I am feeling today will keep me on my knees, begging for salvation and forgiveness, very likely, for the next four years.
Videos of the “Obama Youth”, the Black Panthers “guarding” polling places and that blood sucking cretin so happy that Obama would make sure that working people pay for her gas and mortgage have caused me to feel something I have never felt in my life- I can’t even type the word.
And as for those little college jerks waving around their communist flags? and the extremely stupid morons who actually voted for a man who might not even BE a citizen? I HATE them more than you could know right now. Whatever I USED to believe about “American exceptionalism” is gone.
Perhaps I can get over it- but only God can help me with that.
Uh, he only looks black. He’s much more white than he is black. Do any of his super informed, politically astute followers, who voted for him because they think he is a black man, even know this?
You seriously believed that?
Yes, I believe that many black Americans do see this as an opportunity to advance a color blind society. And I can only hope I am right, I cannot be sure. I am also afraid that hatred towards white people will overpower the good folks.
Pray sister! Even the greatest sinners have been converted!
They are blinded by his half color status!
“...We got rid of the Clintons,...”
Have we? I disagree.
“...the press will now have to hound Pelosi, Reid and Obama with the tough questions...”
Why would they start now? They are cut from the same cloth, and this will be their “Camelot-Act II”
“...which will allow the Republicans to win big in 2012!!”
Considering the nightmare of ACORN, Farrakan’s million man “security force,” the Black Panthers, and the William Ayres clones within our country... I doubt liberty or anything remotely resembling a Constitutional Republic will survive that long. Have you practiced your Fuher salute?
Stock up on guns and ammo. Join a militia. Prepare the resistance. I will not go along to get along... even if it cost me my life.
Depends on if the rumors about her being offered a SC nomination are true. But at least her presidential aspirations are dead.
I think the country *might* have survived HRC. It will NOT survive BHO.
the press will now have to hound Pelosi, Reid and Obama with the tough questions,
Why do you believe this? If they wouldn't go after BHO to answer really valid, important questions while he was just the nominee (AND declaring one thing after another "racist" to benefit him) Why wouldn't the MSM carry his water as president? He's THEIR candidate-the MSM was a propaganda unit of the DNC all summer long, with no pretense of objectivity. Why would that change?
Obama will now have to back peddle on his campaign promises
Maybe...But BHO is a hard left idealogue, not an opportunist like WJC or an idiot like carter. He may or may not .
and the Republicans are now free to move to the Reagan right and shrug their shoulders when the Poo hits the fan when the dems start fighting....which will allow the Republicans to win big in 2012!!
They may or may not move to the right, but regardless,2012 is not 1980. The country has been overrun by third world invaders who will gladly vote for amnesty and handouts-about the only thing good you can say about these ofttimes violent third world invaders is they aren't *quite* as worthless as the white and black native-born garbage that voted for this crypto moslem socialist scum. Ronald Reagan himself, if brought back from the grave in some weird SF cloning scenario, could no longer win elections in this country....the demographic changes will see to that. And if they don't, a totally biased media, the Fairness Doctrine, ACORN, and the "civil security force" manned by Black Panthers and other 'inna cit-tay' thugs will .
I am inclined to believe that this was the last election in US history.
“I am inclined to believe that this was the last election in US history.”
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN, OUR FOREFATHERS FOUGHT FAR TO LONG AND TOO HARD FOR IT TO COME TO THIS...
Have faith, and keep fighting!!!
RIP USA 1776-2008.
kaylar you’re killing me, mostly because you’re right!
I do not doubt that this election was stolen, not just for McCain but for many. Those black panther thugs on television frighten me to no end. And what was incredible was that after the video was shown, FOX concluded that there is no evidence of voter intimidation! What a joke!
I will continue to criticize and raise hell in defense of my country, I am sure you will too.
Hang in there, we’re not going down without a fight. There are alot more of us out there than we are led to believe.
So far we are not men -- some FReepers got OBS already!!
