It was about STUPIDITY!!!

We really think its funny when Jay Leno or Shawn Hannity does the man in the street routine... but it’s actually quite sad. Thats why Obama won... he bought it, and got away with it thanks to the MSM and the laziness of America to scrutinize their own candidate.

The TRUE betrayal was that of the main stream media.

They did not do their job.

They finally succeeded in selecting and coronating their own candidate. If you want someone to be mad at, start there... it has nothing to do with race, abortion, etc... it was about powerbroking.

[thesetruths]

Well, what about the pain of the unborn child whose skull is pierced and its brains sucked out?

Or the pain of the child born alive after an abortion who is left to suffer for hours and eventually die?

That is real pain. This article is disgusting.

Abortion was not a part of this election cycle. McCain, who has a good record on abortion, barely mentioned it for fear of alienating the holy middle. Obama didn't mention it because he didn't want people to think about his approval of infanticide.

This will go down as an election where so little was discussed--9/11, abortion, free speech (both McCain and Obama have problems there), corruption.

I know someone who was for gay marriage in California, who didn't know until AFTER the election that Obama, her god, doesn't support gay marriage (or so he says). What a confused widdle democrat.

[Kickass Conservative]

Barack Obama, making Infanticide cool again.

[I still care]

This country is filled with many, many people who are totally decieved about what O stands for.

No, there isn’t any excuse for it, but it is so, nevertheless.

My sons and I have met at least five people in the past couple of days that did not know Obama was 1)antigun or 2)antiabortion.

They also didn’t know his associations were steeped in communists. The MSM had them believing it was just a “couple of people a long time ago”.

"The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic.

Wilton Daniel Gregory, 60, the Archbishop of Atlanta, (pic above) said that in the past Pope Benedict XVI had himself suggested that the election of a black pontiff would "send a splendid signal to the world" about the universal Church.

Archbishop Gregory, who in 2001 became the first African American to head the US Bishops Conference, serving for three years, said that the election of Mr Obama was "a great step forward for humanity and a sign that in the United States the problem of racial discrimination has been overcome". Like Mr Obama Archbishop Gregory comes from Chicago, and was previously Bishop of Belleville, Illinois.

We'll see. A story on the President-elect not focusing solely on the abortion issue.

[Eagles6]

To them, the election of Barack Obama, self-identified as one of them, is a shining beacon of hope that they will see that dream of America fulfilled. And putting other issues aside for the moment, the election of Barack Obama is historic in racial terms and positive when considered in that light.

So it is really all about race, huh? Doesn't matter that his policies will result in the murder of millions of more black babies.

[nonsporting]

(1) I think many Americans voted for Obama to show that they are not racist (I agree with Shelby Steele's assessement).

(2) He also has "style" which many are will to accept as superficially suggesting "substance." Of course, what that "substance" is was hidden most of the campaign cycle and only snipits emerged.

(3) And the lessons of socialism are lost on the young who are trained in the socialist worldview (thanks to public education and media).

I wonder what the young will think when the draft is reenstated for men and women and civilian service will be a requirement for those in the age range 18-25.

“We need to empathize with those whose tears of gratitude streamed down their face that they lived to see the day that a black man was elected president. That is not nothing. It is, in fact, a great thing.”

I truly don’t see how one thing is equal to the other. B. Hussein is LUCKY to be alive based upon the fact that his mother CHOSE LIFE. A white Kansas girl knocked up out of wedlock by a black guy from Kenya? You don’t think she considered what her life was going to be like, based on raising that kid alone in Polite White Society?

Funny. He CHOSE LIFE for both of his daughters...but maybe somewhere along the line Michelle had an abortion when the ‘timing just wasn’t right’ for either of their careers and that baby would’ve been a ‘burden’ to them. *Rolleyes*

The guy can’t see the line in the sand, and that is one SCARY attribute in a President, if you ask me! America has been duped and at great expense to all, specifically to the unborn.

[steadfastconservative]

I disagree with this writer. The problem is that Obama was elected precisely because of his color, precisely because he was the first black nominee to run for president. And while he is a good family man, he wasn’t judged on the content of his character or his fitness to be president. He wasn’t judged on his record (which was pretty thin) or on his radical beliefs or radical associations.

Americans elected him because by doing so we “proved” that we are not a racist country. We elected him because he looks and sounds good. Because he promised to bring hope and change. And even though most people knew that he is a radical, pro-abortion leftist, they ignored that because they preferred to believe in the hype surrounding this man and not in the reality.
They just wanted to elect somebody who makes them feel good. Of course, that is what demagogues are good at doing. They are good at making voters feel good so that they can gain power.

If Obama uses the power of his office to uphold the Constitution and to protect the inalienable rights of all Americans, including the unborn, then his presidency will be a good thing. Otherwise, his becoming the first black president will be his only achievement and the only good thing about his presidency.

I think the number of "white" people who voted for Obama to "make history" has been hugely underestimated. I didn't think it was much of a factor (as I worried it would be) until I spent the day at the polls on election day.

Sadly and shamefully, white guilt regarding race, trumped everyone's guilt, regarding abortion.

[Melian]

I have spent the last few days reflecting on this. My heart was aching in Mass this morning and I found myself standing with my arms crossed. I could barely stand to look at the parishioners, especially the African American ones. I asked God to help me because this vote has increased the temptation to become prejudiced. As I went to Communion, I was redirected by an usher and when I got to the front, an African-American gave me Communion.

I saw this as God's answer to me. I must receive the host from someone who probably voted for Obama. Just as Christ asked the noble Nathaniel to live with unethical, sinful Matthew, we Catholics rub elbows with sinners, rabble, the slow-witted, and the undesirable.

God has a sense of humor and He is still in charge. All will eventually go according to His plan. We must soldier on and be members of the remnant.

I think most Americans want to be fair. They were told by the media that Obama was a reasonable choice for candidacy for the Presidency. They want to end the victimhood mentality blacks have, and the guilt Americans carry for slavery. Maybe this was a vote to say, the past is passed and we are moving on to a new unity.

I think it was a shortsighted, misguided selection— but a good-natured one. America's gullibility will be its downfall. The evil one is surely prowling around our country like a lion.

[Clemenza]

My Catholic relatives who voted for the Obamanation told me the same thing they do every election: “the Republicans will never do anything about abortion anyway” and “only use it as an election ploy.”
