Grandson of slaves: Obama is our Moses
SLEDGE, Mississippi (CNN) -- James Presley stands amid chopped cotton, the thick Mississippi mud caked on his well-worn boots. A smile spreads across his face when he talks about voting for Barack Obama and what that might mean for generations to come. His voice picks up a notch. He holds his head up a bit higher.
"There's a heap of pride in voting for a black man," he says.

I see nothing racist in that comment at all.
Emerging from a sad background of loss of liberty and slavery, he is heading into a future full of it.
I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2008 Texas GOP primary. I certainly wasn’t going to vote for Huckabee or McCain in the 2008 primary (although I did vote McCain-Palin in the general election).
The elderly won’t find themselves living a life of servitude. They have social security and will just have to learn to do without.
Although the unfulfilled promise of socialized medicine may warm his heart (he probably won’t live long enough to ever actually BENEFIT from it, let alone qualify for costly live saving procedures). Those are the breaks when the government picks up your tab through tax dollars.
I can understand the pride in a black man voting for another for President.
There could be even more pride in it if he were qualified.
Majority of black voters voted for Obama because he is black, majority of college students voted for Obama because he is black, large portion of Jewish voters voted for Obama because he is black, you get what you vote for a black man, thats it don’t expect anything more because you didn’t spend the time to research and read what he is all about, you just sat in front of your TV and accepted CNN and MSNBC’S propaganda because it hurts to much to THINK! SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES, sadly we have to also
It got Satan kicked out of Heaven.
“There’s a heap of pride in voting for a black man,”
Pride goeth before a fall.
