Obama won and I voted for him. Not b/c I am black but because I believe the wealth should be shared. I am tired of getting taxed. I make 34 a year and bring home 24. I am highly educated w/ a masters but I choice to be a social worker. I have heard some of my co workers stated that they are not going to vote for him b/c they don’t want a black man over them. But we vote for you all ALL THE TIME. We look beyond your racist, remarks, snares, and looks. We forget about the past actions of how you behaved. However when one more of us gain education or power you all get nervous. What is the problem? Why do you all fear us so much? Even back in slavery we were beat to death b/c you did not want us to be educated. Even now when we are qualified for the job you chose one of your peers over us and they are under qualified but why? Get over it we have. Then b/c one damn black person acts a fool you label us all to act a fool. But do we do that when one of you all go postal and shoot up a school or their employment? We don’t go around comparing whites. So what is the problem? We also will care about you all and do for you all before you all will try to help us. I am concerned about they way we are treated and the way we have been treated for years. When will this end. We have to become over educated just for you all to tolerate us and you still will not respect us. I am deeply concerned.
I am proud of Obama b/c now I can say things are changing. I am qualified to do any and every thing now. I feel that we are finally being acknowledge and thanks to Obama a change has come.

All this crap about who does and does not like Obama is of the Clitons, Republicans making. This lady has a problem that I think America just ducked, with God’s will. All you would have gotten with the Clintons Is another big lie to the American people. I believe that the current generation of young whites will get blessings from God that there parents may not get. Young whites get good credit from God becuase they have shown that they are not looking for race only in there leaders. If we as the original builders of this country want to show our love for America, we can’t stay devided soley because of race with all the enemies we have around us. This world is changing to fast to keep our house divided. One America fo those who built it!

The eletist white and black voters that vote for Obama don’t even know what Obama’s policies are. They don’t know what he has actually done that was a benefit to anyone. They turn thier heads and look away when Obama’s shady past is explained. The white voter’s think they are doing an honorable act that will somehow excuse them from past racism and the blacks are showing the other side of racism. The news media is working to make a story they can profit from.

Obama is an eletist and is out of touch with white working class people. He thinks they are bitter people and because of it cling to religious faith and thier guns. Obama is a rich eletist who attends his church of racist hate.

OBAMA WROTE IN HIS BOOK: ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..
Smiling face and stupid non-answers to pointed questions, answers like, “Oh, it’s just more of the same old politics.” are just a very small sample of why he should not be president. He doesn’t give real answers because he has NONE. He is just a smiling face with a pat speech and the rest is hollow. I am am middle class well educated white and WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I would like to see a pole on going back to the first Super Tuesday.
Now that more of the country know who Obama is i would love to know how many people that original vote was for Hillary would have voted for Obama now that they now who he is and what he is about.
most news reported that people in NY and LA voted for Hillary because they did not know who Obama was.

I once thought white people were racist but no more. Whites have accepted Obama and voted for him. How many blacks have voted for Clinton? The blacks now are the racist, not whites. Many white delagates endorced him but also most all the black ones so far.

I never thought I’d live to see Tokenism be a requirement for president. Has America’s/the liberal media totally brain washed all but a few? Just because he’s a black guy who isn’t Jackson or Sharpton, should not automatically qualify him to run the greatest country on earth. This guy is flawed in many ways,has no track record of accomplishments,no plan,and is nothing more than a hand puppet for the far left. The only thing he has done is boosted the ratings of some sagging news networks
Both he and his wife appear to have a deep seated hatred for whites, when in fact both were given everything including affirmative action scholarships,and their first jobs thanks to white people.
The sad fact of this entire election season is the way the media has held this guy to much lower standard than the rest of the field, is this for ratings or another example of affirmative action?

So ellsbells930,
You don’t think either Democratic candidate is for the working class. And you believe that John McCain will be for the working class because..? He is only for his lobbysit friends. He would hand over all of our national parks to his lobbysit buddies if the rest of his colleages in Congress would let him.

So Kitty,
Let me get something straight. If I were interviewing you for a job and I heard that your pastor was maiking some really outrageous comments, would you think it fair if I told you that I wouldn’t hire you because of your pastor? You wouldn’t would you? I am hiring you, not your pastor. why is everyone blaming Obama for what his pastor says? That is very unfair.
