WE WON!!!!!!!! YES, WE DID!!!!!!!

The American people have spoken and voted in, to the highest office, the better man -- BARACK OBAMA! We knew we would prevail -- it was a long, hard fight. Now, we need to throw ALL our support behind him and his administration to help them dig us out of the mess we're in. The road ahead will be long and hard, too. But, we can bring about the change our country needs . . . YES, WE CAN!!!!!!

This victory is for all the people who lost their lives on the Pettis Bridge and who shed blood, sweat and tears all over America to get the right to vote. This victory was for you.

This victory was for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who had a dream that had been deferred far too long. We've finally reached the mountain top. Even though he did not get there with us, I feel he was looking down, proudly, at all the different faces supporting and cheering for Barack Obama. We got here on Dr. King's shoulders and those of many other Blacks, Whites and Jews who put their lives on the line fighting for equality and the right to show that we are just like YOU, the ruling class. WHAT A JOURNEY.

BARACK OBAMA . . . President for and of ALL the people!!!!!

I don't think Martin Luther King would be too happy about a black man backed by Wall St. and the defense establishment being elected president. That is not what King's message was about. King wanted equal opportunity, not equal lack of opportunity.

He's a Muslim.

He's the antichrist.

He's a supporter of terrorism.

And NOW on the very night that Obama is elected as the next President, EnKiKur has discovered that President Obama in into genocide like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Edi Amin and Milosovitch. DAMN!!!

((EnkiKur)) I know McCain was your man. However, it's over . . . he did not win. Barack Obama is President-elect of the United States of America and will be sworn into the highest office of the land on January 20, 2009. Please direct your energy, research and intelligence in a more positive way -- look for some good, for a change.

Don't look at it as a defeat but an opportunity to create a better America. As Americans, we need to show the world that we are united. He will reach across the Party line to Republicans to get our country back on track. Let's reach over, in small-town America, and do the same.

In the next couple of days, Obama will begin to transition. Let's wait and see who he names. He will be facing a tremendous challenge but together we will bring about positive change. YES, WE WILL!!!! Get on board.

Sure he is Punisher. He is an abortion rights advocate, which has been promoted by Family Planning, which used to be the Eugenics Records Office. Family Planning was started by Margaret Sanger, who also started something called The Negro Project to carry out family planning in the black population. She was aided by W. E. B. Dubois, a man Obama claims is one of his greatest inspirations.

"The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members"- Margaret Sanger

Of black churches, Dubois said in relation to the work of the Negro Project " “intelligent propaganda of any sort, and the American Birth Control League and other agencies ought to get their speakers before church congregations and their arguments in the Negro newspapers", Dubois also held the “mass of ignorant Negroes” who bred “carelessly and disastrously so that the increase among [them] ... is from that part of the population least intelligent and fit, and least able to rear their children properly.”

So there, Punisher, learn a little about your history and the truth behind the black Marxist intelligentsia and their black opponents back in the twenties and thirties of the last century.

You may wish to live without understanding the forces around you, and to lead your brethren in continued servitude to a system designed to take their labor and dignity, and you may be fooled by a black man making that Marxist appeal, but I will not.

Not bs Punisher, simple history. I don't expect you to believe me, a white man, but how about some black people who've read history? Here: http://www.blackgenocide.org/negro.html

And as far as Obama being a socialist, he is. He suckled at the breast of a Marxist, who was herself the daughter of Marxists. That makes him third generation. You, like most Americans, don't understand Marxism very well, or you would hear it in his speeches.

Since I see you are fairly intelligent, I would like to make you aware of a www.blackcommentator.com This is one of the premier sites for intelligent black people on the web. And, you can also read this http://www.blackcommentator.com/129/129_... which is an article which explains why the opening premise in this article that racial barriers in American are as old as America itself is a fraudulent claim, in the words of intelligent black men. The author of the Article is Jonathon Scott, a black professor in the New York University system who is a Marxist (if you don't believe me, email him, he is very nice and will explain to you what a Marxist is).

Marxists aren't all bad, they are just mostly naive. Sooner or later the Democratic Party is going to have to come out of the closet on this socialism issue.

The truth is Punisher, blacks can't declare a victory of parity until there is a black owned central bank of issue making loans to some large government. It will be a long time until that happens because that is where the real power lies, and so far that power has been closely held in the hands of an Anglo-Jewish alliance that has a vise grip on the money supply of the world. Until there is black ownership of a central bank blacks are still in the anterooms to power.

Well, thank you for that. Because there is more here than meets the eye and clear vision is needed for discerning what that thing is.

You really should read Scott's article. It is just as he explains in there through references to the work of Dubois and Theodore Allen: the struggle of the American working class has only been disguised as a race struggle, it is really a class struggle. (That's Marxist talk, but I agree. I would take a different approach to solving the problems Marxists want to solve, but see the same problems).

"So what is America's real “Peculiar Institution”? For James, in conformity with U.S. historiography and “white” common sense, it’s racial slavery: chattel slavery imposed exclusively on African Americans. Yet what’s so peculiar about capitalists in pursuit of present profit? Under this logic, sweatshop labor is peculiar too, as is making workers pay for their own raises. Moreover, was it also “peculiar” that the English imposed slavery on the Catholic Irish in Ireland?

Rather, isn’t the peculiarity of U.S. history and society that the masses of European American bond-laborers were not kept in a condition of lifetime bond-servitude? Why not? Why would a capitalist let a worker up from a condition of servitude if it didn’t serve his particular class interest to do so? What was this particular class interest all about?

In James’s version of American slavery, these illuminating questions never arise because, for him and PBS, racial slavery and white racism are part of nature – a sorrowful destiny that cannot be changed. For if it wasn’t for specific class reasons that the slave-owning tobacco planters let poor European Americans out of slavery – i.e. to divide and demoralize a rebellious multi-ethnic working class by producing from within it an oppressing social control group, the “white race” – then it must be that they did it because they “naturally” hated blacks and “naturally” liked whites. The rest is history, because there’s no other conclusion to draw."- Jonathan Scott, 'Eradicating Bacon's Rebellion From Popular Memory'

A different black perspective on an Obama presidency:

"If the masses of people in this nation knew or had known the pertinent facts pertaining to the war mongering “we can fight the war better,” pro-apartheid Zionist, corporate Wall Street-backed, slippery tongued Barack Obama, it is doubtful they would have been so thoroughly bamboozled and hoodwinked to their own detriment and that of the world. Wall Street and the corporate media, however, have, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, engaged in a relentless, ruthless, and absolutely unprecedented campaign of corporate branding and marketing on behalf of Barack Obama, with the peoples of the United States as their targets.

....Those so-called leftist and progressives who were and are collaborators with U.S. Empire will, for a time, try to pretend that their support of Barack Obama was not a sell out, and that they simply need more time to persuade the U.S. Empire’s colored corporate emperor to do the right thing. Meanwhile, Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, and White peoples will be enduring an unprecedented rate of economic and social suffering. The anger of the people will ultimately peak and explode, as a result of having bought into false hope and raised expectations. This is precisely why the U.S. corporate government has already made military contingency plans to contain and massively quash dissention within the United States."- Larry Pinkney, Black Panther Party, former Minister of Interior of the Republic of New Africa: http://www.blackcommentator.com/297/297_...

The shame of this is that while it is nice to think the country has progressed to the point that a black man can become president, indicating some improvement in affairs since the division arising from Bacon's Rebellion, it is undeniable that this black man is a media and corporate creation chosen to carry on "more of the same" as Pinkney posits in the title of his article above. My fear is that disillusionment over what is to come will set the country back decades in terms of race relations when it becomes apparent what Obama's real allegiance is to. Biden, Powell, and Albright have already warned those of us who could hear it that this will be an unpopular presidency, the only question is how unpopular it will be.

I am not happy that he won, I personally don't like that his campaign has used race. Everywhere, it's his race that is mentioned first. Who cares if he is black? Did anyone care that McCain was white? If McCain had won, would the ND headline read this morning "The nation's 44th WHITE President"?

Nope.

It's a fact proven last night, thousands of people voted for Obama, strictly for his race. The media has accomplished what it set out to do. There were 12 Presidential candidates in all, but the one only ones you ever heard about were McCain and Obama.

Well, the race is over, he has won. So, it's time for everyone to pull together and hope that the next 4 years are good ones. Maybe he'll do a good job, I don't know. But either way, I'm glad it's over, because frankly I'm sick of hearing about his heritage. Who knows...maybe next election the ND headline will read "The Nations first woman President." OH OH OH! Or maybe " The Nation's first Latino President"...

No? How about "The Nation's first gay President."

Now that would be historical.

Or was hysterical? Either way the man won because he is black, not because he is qualified. Now lets just hope he gets spectacular on the job training. :)

Before people start yelling...I would have been equally disappointed if McCain had garned 90+% of the white vote.

Glad to see that racism is still alive in the country.

I'm just speechless. I didn't sleep well thinking how the majority of voters have been deceived. I will say I was impressed with McCain's bittersweet message to America after the election. He asked us to support Obama, our new president. I'll respect his title but have trouble respecting a man who's affiliates are questionable. The icing will melt off the cake when his true intentions are made known. Of course he'll do it over time, probably so the average Joe can't tell the difference until it's too late.

Yes, Obama is a GREAT choice for this country. As mentioned in the last debate...

"How will you deal with energy independence?"
Obama: "I'll deal with it, I will THINK about how to use energy and EXPLORE how to get more energy."

"What will you do to reform social security?"
Obama: "I don't know that we will have time to get to that with everything else that is happening."

"How will you deal with Russia?"
Obama: "For the most part, I agree with Senator McCain."

"What will you do about the government in Iraq?"
Obama: "I will talk with the government in Iraq."

So, with all of that said, no we did NOT pick the President with the experience to run this country. How dare Senator McCain mention things so far out of our memory such as Teddy Roosevelt, Tip O'Neill, and Ronald Reagan.

Good thing we voted him in as the first African American President because that will be ALL he is remembered for!!!

Why do we always make things about race? Why can't all of you who voted for Barack Obama have done some actual listening in the debates or research on your candidate? He is NOT the most qualified for the job. The ONLY reason he is President-elect is because ya'll wanted to make a "statement".

Redusmfan, I thought you were a prejudiced, racist bigot. Now I KNOW you are one. Truth of the matter is, white folks eat chitlins, watermelon and fried chicken so stop being so sore. We told you McCain was not going to win this one. His party rejected him when he tried his run against G "Dub." Honey, get a life, McCain lost and there are several reasons why, not just one and George Bush casting his vote for him, surely didn't help an already sunken ship.

Thumbs up to SNL for exposing Sarah Palin and actually revealing how UNFIT of a VP she would be. Tina Fey is a true talent who did a lot to expose the air headedness of Palin and all the while Palin, too dense to realize this, thought they were laughing with her not at her.

Regardless on who the President of the United States is on this morning, God IS still in control. It will behoove us all as Americans to get on board and make this country better! Make this country compete fiercely again in the world's eye. Keep this country safe so that our children and grandchildren can carry on.

I survived 8 years of Clinton and I will survive 4 years of bamy. Things have not been all that bad for me lately and I am surprised at all the people preaching chaneg. My wife and I never ever bought a house we could not afford, so we are not in foreclosure right now. My savings and checking account are doing ok. My bank survived the fallout. My kids are in good schools. My country made me proud the last 4 years, even when we had small problems at home.

My problem with this election is not that Obama is 50% white and 50% black. My problem is that he has a problem putting his hand over his heart for the NATIONAL ANTHEM, he was going to church with a minister who was preaching hatred until it was found out and then he stopped going. This tells me there is a fundamental problem with his morals and that is not who i want to support, i don't care what color he is. My other problem is that all these black people who never vote all of a sudden they are all getting out to vote. Not because he might be the best candidate but because he is BLACK. Where have they been all these other years when election time came around. I saw people at my polling place that looked like they had been dragged in by the cat, the way they were dressed and acting.

Since there was not enough Blacks, Asians, Jewish, Hispanic, Indian and "other" votes alone to elect him by the margain he received, one is left to beleive even the FOX news media that stated "the HIGHER educated whites and younger college age whites" voted in masses for him. While you're waiting for a contact from, or the realization that the above listed "boys" will develop an "interest" in your statement, take time to read Judges ch. 5 or Romans ch. 8, 28-39. GOD BLESS!!!!

Well, I DO work, that's for sure and stop lying. You're not kidding around. Those mean things you said were heart felt from you my friend with a sting of nastiness and you WEREN'T kidding around. Why "kid" around making statements like "chitlins?" Last I checked hun, blacks certainly weren't the only ones who eat them.

Why don't you try going to work instead of leaving ignorant comments on this site. GOBama won, get over it and get over yourself. Step up and help make this country great again. I teach and yes, I do preach as well, so how about that!

Let me tell you what I did for "humor." I turned on the TV and for the FIRST time since this election, I watched FOXNEWS and boy, it was a site to see the pitiful faces there. Now that was comedy!

As a matter of fact, I have had members of my family who have fought for America's freedom in EVERY war except this last one. I have had family that gave their lives for this country. And I hate to see people just give it away.

If it walks like muslim and talks like muslim then you can pretty much bet it's a muslim. It doesn't matter what kind of packaging it comes in.

I never said I hated America. I said I was ashamed. I at least have flags in my yard and my kids sing patriotic songs all the time. I bet obamas kids don't even know the words since he doesn't see fit to be able to say them himself. How embarrasing.

Did any of you people watch the coverage last night? The Obama crowds in California, Chicago, Times Square, etc. were filled with people of ALL races, ALL ages...he won both the electoral vote AND the popular vote. He took states in the east and the west...he had huge support across America. Our foreign allies supported him...but yet, some Natchezians think they know more than the thousands of people who voted for him. I guess you guys have some kind of inside track on his relegious beliefs, etc. Get over it or move to Canada...oh never mind, you wouldn't be happy there either..they have universal health care. He is the president..and watching a black woman and white woman walk hand in hand to join their husbands on that stage was the greatest moment I have ever observed in politics. For those of you who cannot "stomach" the idea that a black man is president...well, get ready- by 2050 we white people will be a MINORITY. This country is changing (for the better, I might add), and if you can't accept that.....move.

LOL!!! Yes We Can turned to Yes We Did!!! Alright!

To the non-believers, know this....it was the vast majority of the white vote that put Obama in office. Like I said yesterday in a comment, ride around in neighborhoods and see if ANY campaign sign was in yards for the party of choice. Where you saw none.....that was an OBAMA vote! Neighbors fearing what each other would think, and peeking around in the voting booth so no one would know how you voted. What is killing white America is that Blacks were brought to this country, enslaved and ridiculed. Then you made a mockery of Blacks over the years. You told Blacks what they needed to do to succeed, and here you have a dignified Black man who has done just that. The new Commder in Chief, the NEW President of the United States. He is educated, he speaks well, he is ESQUIRE, and has the all American Family.....what is happening is that America or maybe just Natchez, is upset that he has accomplished successfully what you never thought would happen for a Black MAN! He is the NEW American DREAM! Anything you REALLY want to do can be accomplished by ANYONE! This man has a calling on his life to lead the masses.....all he did was answer.

Nowhere, but in the south do you find all this hate. I'm beginning to wonder is it hate or fear, does it frighten you so much that we can be more than you expect us to be? Does is bother you that we can be doctors, lawyers, and now even president? It's okay for us to have money as long as we're entertainers. It's alright if we are rappers, singers, football players, basketball players, or baseball players, because none of those people have to be educated. OOOOHHHH, but when we start achieving things even beyond your wildest dreams, you hate us. You believe the only thing Obama should be able to do in the white house is wash the windows and buff the floors and his wife has no place there except for housekeeping or in the kitchen. It has nothing to do with his religion, his background or what he believes in, it is his COLOR. Get over it, we're never going back to slavery, no matter how much you would like us to. And the stereotypes, LMAO, I work for everything I have and I'm not going to sit around and wait for a handout from Obama, McCain, or anyone else. The south is so far behind times that some of you would rather DIE than consider us equal.

I have a GOD on my side who has been taking care of me for years and will be taking care of me for years and presidents to come. Why are you Christians worried? Do you have faith in God? What's the real reason you are disappointed? Come on we are all strangers to each other anyway. I am actually surprised by the comments from some of you on here.

To all of those Obama supporters who have been blinded by his lies and deciet, you'll be regreting your decision in the coming years, small business will crumble due to high taxes meaning unemployment will go up, more low lifes on welfare, like most already in this area who sit thier butt at home, watch tv, make babies, and wait on goverment handouts, which comes out of the hardworking peoples paychecks. I was going to open my own business but now i would struggle worse than before to start off. And inheritance tax will be so bad that if my family business would be handed down i would be in debt after taxes. Muslim terrorists have wanted to come up with a plan for many many years to corrupt the US, now they have achieved that with Obama.....Say whatever you want to this, but you'll just be showing your ignorance cause you actually believed all the B.S. that came out of his mouth. He promised change, but didnt say it would be good or bad.....

The rhetoric is done, now the reality begins. Congratulations to Obama. He ran a fine campaign and should be commended for that. No matter who you supported in this election, all of us should recognize that it's an historic moment. We've come a little closer to making the race issue a non-issue.

Republicans and conservatives shouldn't despair. This was a year when it would have been nearly impossible for any Republican to win or any Democrat to lose. And despite our loss last night, there were some bright spots: No fillibuster proof majority in the Senate, fewer seats lost in the house than predicted, gay marriage looks like it's going down in California and was banned in Florida. The exit polls all showed that the American people are still more closely aligned with Republicans on all the major issues. And keep in mind, Obama only won by 4 percentage points more than either Kerry or Gore got, and only 3% more than Clinton got in '96. Plus, only about 30% of voters said they are excited about an Obama presidency.

So now we Republicans and conservatives have to pick ourselves up and get ready for the 2010 mid-terms. With conditions what they are it should be a much more favorable environment for us.

I did not vote for him and it had NOTHING to do with the color of his skin - it has to do with his "spread the wealth" agenda, his record of voting/not voting in the senate, his record of being the most liberal senator, his stand on abortion, trying to deny his past associations, and I could go on but I hope you get my point and let's all hope he is a different present that his record in the senate - YOU CAN'T VOTE "PRESENT" AS THE PRESIDENT.

No one will agree with everything any leader promotes and if you do then you are unable to think for yourself. I am a Christian but I have respect for all religions. All Christians do not follow all the same rules but they all believe in Jesus. I feel that no matter what our religion we are all trying to get to the same place. Obama talks the talk so give the man a chance to walk the walk.

I was a hard-won victory and will go down in history.

Just as John F. Kennedy in Kennedy/Johnson changed America profoundly for the better, Obama stands poised -- if he only achieves one or two of his stated goals -- to have a similar impact on history.

The people that stood against Kennedy, and their counterparts who will try to stand against Obama must occasionally be forced to do what is right in matters where they have no courage or vision to change.

((momof1)) fall down on your knees and thank God that Obama was elected for President yesterday. Had Bush been re-elected . . . (Ooops, I'm sorry) if McSame had been elected, you could kiss your job "goodbye" . . . no paycheck would be coming in because your job would be sent overseas. If McSame/McCain had been elected, you would have found yourself in the unemployment and welfare lines . . . believe that! So be extremely grateful today. Yes, you do have a lot to be grateful for, whether you care to admit it or not . . . you know!

However, all is well, now!!! HOPE is alive and where there's hope, there are possibilities.

((aak1972)), does Mexico have universal healthcare? If you have school-age children, will Mexico offer them a free education? As I have suggested before, I think a move to Mexico would be an ideal solution for all the Obama-haters. Maybe your well has run dry in the United States. Mexico may have tastier water for you to drink but I would suggest you take a little Pepto-Bismol or Kaeopectate [sic] with you!

When was the last time such a spiritual thing happened to black people -- poor people, and minorities of every stripe? This effect is not the end-all of an Obama presidency, but a predictable side-effect -- this spiritual surge. It is amazing how many people who claim spiritual superiority cannot see the goodness of this -- because their idea of God and goodness is just not very spiritual.

If you cannot feel the injection of pride, or accomplishment, of empowerment in the otherwise historically disenfranchised then perhaps it should be a religious matter for you -- and you should ask your minister if it is reasonable to be so unfeeling.

This gives black folks a nudge they deserve. It contributes to their vision of having a future. It does this in good ways that do not really cost the rest of us anything except the yoke of sameness that the Republicans have offered us for too long as the ONLY option.

Besides this, we now have a president who at least acts like the people matter, who is intelligent, who is articulate, and who the WHOLE WORLD is cheering on.

Of course, a lot of people do not consider empowerment to be a spiritual matter like liberals do.

This "change" that you all talk about is not going to benefit EVERYONE!!! We are looking at a big change to come but not a change for good. He can't sit and TALK through the mess in Iraq and Iran. At some point, he is going to have to take action and think for himself. Now that we don't have a choice I hope he does what he is supposed to, although I'm not sure what that is because he hasn't answered a question in a year on the campaign. Anyway, we could go on and on about how he is not qualified to be our President, but I think I would rather start hiding my money.

Natchezlady...beautifully stated! It is apparent that regardless of what has happened here will never be embraced by those who are narrowed-minded and for many bigots in their own right. You have people on here talking about they are now going to start going to church because of the outcome of this election. Speaking as a devout Christian, you really should have been doing that anyway, maybe your outlook on life would be a lot better. Reading God's Word and really understanding what has been written would probably change your skewed ideology about the world.

I am empathetic that a lot of you think that the last 8 years of Bush was what this country needed, when nothing has happened other than the fact that he has led us skipping along, into a recession, while he and Laura will go back to their ranch in Crawford, kicking back, while they watch someone else attempt to clean up the mess he made. It will definitely not be an overnight change, but I believe that as AMERICANS, it is imperative that all of us come to terms with reality and again stop pointing fingers, spreading hatred, because it causes your children to hate and to be racists, simply because someone else doesn't believe in what you/they believe in or that a particular race or social class is inferior to their own. It doesn't make that person wrong, it makes them different. That is what's supposed to be wonderful about this country. We have our choice to live our lives the way we choose, as well as choose what are beliefs are. We need to do what we can in our communities to get the USA back on the right track. Take the blinders off people. Barack Obama was not elected by only one race of people, but by the AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Why is it that because he won he wasn't judged by his color but his character, but if people like me didn't vote for him we are racist? That doesn't make sense. If it isn't about his color, then why is this such an accomplishment with his being the first African American President? It's sad we don't judge credentials rather than color. Very very sad. That is why all of the "racists" are worried about the future.

The Republicans CANNOT always slur their opponents and win every time.

A black (or half-black) man CAN win if he works and is smart enough to be a good politcian.

Democrats CAN win against Republicans when Republicans become corrupt.

The people CAN vote out of something other than FEAR.

Voting CAN work.

The ignorant, hateful, fearful masses MUST change their thinking if they want to come along with the rest of us.

America IS what it claims to be, or at least it COULD be.

NOBODY should ever say you should always be proud of your country -- no country should be excused for doing wrong -- and only an insecure country would demand it be able to do anything and still be praised.

Once again...he is smart and can speak well, but he is NOT as qualified as others for the job. Voting works as long as the electoral college is in a candidate's favor. If the electoral colleges were a little more even, this race would have been MUCH tighter than it turned out. There are many things wrong with this country, and they are not all Republican's fault. I identify with many beliefs of the Democrats, just not of Barack Obama's. Remember please that Congress is Democratic Majority and they make many decisions regarding our country, so to put the blame on the GOP is ludicrous. You should always be proud of your country, the best country in the world because no matter what has happened, we will always bounce back regardless of our government. The people are too strong not to fight back with a vengeance. But, once again my point....he is under qualified for the job of Commander-in-Chief.

I think people need to realize that some one had to win and some one had to lose. But in the end God had the final say so. So if you are going to be mad at any one don't be mad at Barak Obama be mad at God because whether you like it or not. Obama was put on this earth to be the first Black President and whatever God says is what is going to be.

We were put on this earth to love one another, no matter what, so whether you are Democrat or Republican if you believe in God you are suppose to love Obama because that is what is required of us all to make it to heaven. So lets stop believing in everything that the media has to say and believe and trust God that his will be done not the Democrat's and the Republican. Lets stand together as one and live up to what our country says it believes "In God we Trust" Lets put our trust back in God in not in man, because we serve a faithful God.

"So, everyone that voted for Obama are wiser than the people who voted for McCain?"

Nobody ever said that.

And life is about more than being mad at welfare as part of the tax burden.

Like I said, your wealth is already being re-distributed upwards -- the poor are getting poorer and the middle class, too. The upper few percentage points of our culture are getting far richer -- not due to hard work but due to government management of laws and taxes -- already. It is a hsitorical fact.

Your anger just keeps you from seeing that.

I am saying it sarcastically.....no one ever wants anyone to know they use the system for assistance. Eveyone is so afraid about spreading the wealth. We are already spreading the wealth in a bad form. If we spread the wealth differently, perhaps we can get the folks off of Welfare and keep some of our tax dollars in our pockets.

I have already said I knew where my money was going. I realize it is redistributed upwards, but should we REALLY give money from OUR taxes to people who have not worked hard? Some of the "good" CEOs, CFOs, etc. have worked really hard to get where they are. At least they know the idea of hard work makes money.

And, for the record, I'm not angry he won. I am angry at people who see him only as a historic President, not one who can help us out of our current downfall.

yankee, McCain tried to make this about welfare, and socialism, and people found that to be a dishionest approach.

Why would you think that you looking at this historic situation the same way would work better than it did for McCain?

There is nothing to say thsi cannot be historic racially AND be a way out. It is more certain McCain had NO new ideas.

Last night I began experiencing severe chest pains, and I thought, this is it, so I began to pray. I told the Lord that I didn't mind dying, but could he just make it a little less painful. Then I ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord of my life and forgive me my sins, as I know there are many. I also thanked him for allowing Obama to win the election. Today I realize that last night could have been the last day of my life and I've decided to enjoy the rest of it, however long that may be, instead of spending so much time making comments. I hope yall won't miss me too much, lol.

But first of all let me congratulate everyone who voted for Obama. I know it won't be easy for him, but I have hope that he will do his best to change the way things have been done the last 8 years. I hope that all of you will help him to bring peace and unity to this country...for blessed are the peace makers. I have hope that the wars will end and those without healthcare will in the near future be able to go to the doctor. I have hope that all of the little children in America will have an equal opportunity.

John McCain gave a great concession speech, and as I listened, I wondered how the election would have turned out if all of his speeches had been like the one he gave last night, but that's over now and we won't ever know. I wish him and his family the best luck for the future. I read that Obama intends to continue working with him and will respect his input.

Have some fun today, because you never know when this could be the last day of your life. Enjoy your life while you can. I hope all of you will have a little hope and faith that everything is gonna be ok. God is great.

Well, it looks as if "Peggy the Moocher" won over "Joe the Plummer". If you are not familiar with Peggy, she is the person in Florida who was so excited after an Obama rally that she said: "I never thought this day would come, now I don't have to worry about putting gas in my car or paying my mortgage. If I help Obama, he will help me."

I think MANY people are going to be very disappointed when all the promises are not kept..there is no way Obama can do all he said he would do...he was even beginning to back down at the end of the campaign, saying it would take time.

We are at a stage in this country where it is not "what can I do for my country, but what will my country do for me." give me, give me, give me.

I have asked many people what they expect from Obama and all I ever get is "hope and change"....oh goody I cannot wait to see what that will be since no one seemed to know.

This is going to be a very interesting 4 years...and if the biased media decides they need something to hype about, watch out Obama.

As John McCain said after his defeat, " I have him right where I want him now."

Maybe McCain wasn't the right way, but neither was Obama.

And again, as Senator McCain said himself, if Obama wanted to run against Bush, he should have run 4 years ago.

You know, this could go on forever. Me with my opinion and you with yours. That is what makes this country great. Let's just pray that God that he has an exemplary Cabinet.

AMEN, "godisfaithful"!!!! Now that IS the bottom line. E34, yankee and aak1972, there are not enough words to describe your idiocracy, but you have your choice of countries should you want to do the rest of us a favor and MOVE!

Don't be so quick to say what will and won't happen in your life. There may be a point and time where you will need that same handout that you snub your noses at! There are so many people out there who do the right thing, that DO work everyday and are barely making it. A lot of them work two jobs, have children and go to school, just to ensure that their children have a better life without being on welfare. Regardless of what you believe, there are people out there who don't want a handout! Unfortunately a lot of companies don't offer proper healthcare insurance or it is so expensive, one can not afford it, so be careful not to judge so quickly. If you were placed in that position, I am sure that you would want someone to help you!

I currently live in AZ, and there are more whites with ACCESS cards than Hispanics and Blacks! For those who don't know what that is...WELFARE/FOOD STAMPS! Oh ohhhhhhhh, you weren't ready for those statistics, were you? I have been behind them in check-out lines where they pull out there food stamp debit cards to pay for their food and then pay for their other items with their platinum bank cards. I'm sorry, but am I the only one seeing there is a problem with that equation?

Perhaps John Mccain was more qualified, but Obama shared my values and that's more important. He is smart and selfmade.

It should have been obvious that he was the best choice for working middle class people, since the AFL-CIO strongly endorsed him. These are not welfare folks, but working taxpayers!!

If you are a working middle class taxpayer, welcome!!! We have a seat at the table again.

Isn't it interesting how more of the educated whites supported Obama. I hope we will now have cabinet secretaries and other appointees who are smart and determined to make government work for all of us.

Harvest - just curious how many beatings, rapes, lynchings, bombs, dog attacks, property being taken away, etc - happened to you??? I know I have NEVER done any of that to anyone - neither did my parents or grandparents and probably my great grandparents - why do you want to dwell on the past - so why do you want to drill that into your kids brains before they leave for school - were you positive at all to them? I am just tired of being blamed for actions that were done years ago - I have moved on and it is time everyone else did also - Congrats to Obama - maybe he can help lead the way. I was not for him but I hope he does a great job and proves everyone wrong.

The people have spoken and now we are all going to be dealing with that choice. I just want to remind you that God allows the people to have what they want sometimes even if it isn't what HE wants for us. " Israelites' demand for a king, as recounted in the Book of Samuel:When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges for Israel. The
name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. But his sons did not walk in his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice. So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, "You are old, and your sons
do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have." But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king. As
they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking Me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do." Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, "This
is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots . He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He
will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day."

Guess we're about to see what the Isrealites already learned.

For some REAL fun, please you guys, when you get a chance, turn to FOXNEWS and see a studio full of bitter, hateful anchors eating crow and biting their tongues. During the race, MSNBC, CNN, the BBC, Bloomburg, the AP, Reuters, etc., ALL would show polls that reflect this nations voice, but not FOX. I knew their polls were phoney! Every poll they would show actually showed Obama as a loser among voters??? I'm just waiting for the cries that there was cheating at the precincts and that everyone didn't get to vote, that will be coming soon, it's the MO of a sore loser.

As far as going to church is concerned, please KNOW that "going to church" simply won't get it. You have a lot of folk, FULL OF HELL, going to church. Unless you TRULY repent and be saved, following the Biblically documented plan of Salvation, you can go to church until the cows come home, if your heart is NOT right, God knows and He will ask you to depart from Him, in that great day.

But I dont believe a government program is the answer. And on your point about more white being on welfare I havent commented on that subject. But the fact is a larger percentage of minorities for whatever reason are on assistance. You do not want a government healthcare plan and I dont have the space on here to tell you why.

I will not support a man that does not say the pledge of allegiance! That is like saying who cares about this country. Not only that he is not of a Christian religion. He says he is but he really is not! Also he doesn't even acknowledge part of his family, and to me that says he does NOT care about family. But go ahead and support him. Just when reality does finally sink in that he will make this country worse just remember I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!

One more comment about harvest. I had a black man steal all my stuff from my hunting camp. Tractor, 4 wheeler etc etc he ran the tractor which was pulling a trailor with my 4 wheeler on it into the river. All my stuff was insured but not against theft when parked at the hunting camp.. I had to replace it all and now pay higher premiums b/c I had a loss. So now based on harvest ideas I can round up all the black guys and make them pay for the injustice.

Every since I arrived back into this Country that I LOVE and have went to war for.
It is SAD TO SEE the SOUTHERN STATES and their SO CALLED Christians are STILL LIVING IN THE 17th and 1800 hundreds.
Wake up people.
No wonder Mississippi and Louisiana are so far behind on change for the better, Because you fight against change, that will better you.
First you have to change your mind. You want to live on tourism and fight against big factories, because they may harm you old homes. People TOURISM IS ANOTHER FORM OF YOU LIVING ON WELL FARE .
You will not vote for a Black Man to be President, even if he can bring you off WELL FARE and Bring Big Business back to the United States.

PEOPLE COME OUT OF YOUR CAVES AND INTO THE FUTURE, FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD. This is the United States , Not White States Or Black States. So I Pray that the Southern States will see the Light, GOD is showing you. Because there not a BLACK HEAVEN or a WHITE HEAVEN .

Something I do not understand is how so many obviously undereducated people are so certain that they know more than Barack Obama.

Barack is, I believe, 47 years old. That is plenty of time to understand most things far better than the average citizen who doesn't even bother to perfect their LANGUAGE the way Barack has. Language is how you find out about things without being condemned to make all the mistakes yourself.

How could Bunny possibly think that she knows more about supply side dynamic and what will make a healthy economy with her one or two step plans? Barack certainly knows supply side theory and has seen it work and seen it fail to be a panacea. He certainly knows the theory of government choking business far more than she does.

How could the average terrified citizen who doesn't even know our history of aggression in the Mideast possibly think they know more about cause-and-effect in terrorism? Most folks cannot even name countries on a globe.

And how could anyone anywhere think that George Bush was militarily qualified by virtue of experience but Barack Obama is not qualified to attain peace far quicker than Bush?

Somebody tells these people they are smart and Democrats are not -- and if it is undeniable that the left contains some very smart people -- then the reason not to believe Barack is that he is a feindish liar. This despite what we have just seen McCain try to hang on Obama that turned out to be hogwash.

I was raised by rednecks -- I just got tired of the constant 4 or 5 reasons why we are so much more brilliant than folks from up nawth -- but just have to worship the Republican Party like we were idiots -- incapable of change.

firered -- we can't tell you everything.

Regulation or non-regulation of the markets.

"Reform" of that means well thought out regulation -- remember how even Republicans admit that there has not been proper regulation? Our economy since Reagan has been inclined to offer a hodge-podge of less regulation but enough government rules to keep some people rich and others less so.

Warfare -- Obama understands that the War on Terror is made necessary because of reprisal attacks that came from Reagan, Bush and Bush's forays into the Middle East to kill Muslims for oil and ideology. Obama claims to know ways that the reprisals can be less frequent, and frankly it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how.

Saving warfare money -- this helps everything. We spend tons without need. Those funds go back into the economy for things we really need.

Energy -- Obama will change the Bush doctrines of economics -- Bush sought to encourage production of gas guzzlers and a denial of climate change and reform of our energy supplies. Obama will make the committment to get us off oil instead of making sure we burn as much as we can. Bush and Cheney were corrupt and sought to fuel our economy through wasteful consumption -- it backfired.

Anyone who cannot understand what Obama would do should just start surfing -- and ask him -- not the people who supported Bush and Company -- they wil not tell you a thing.

Actually, yankee, the people responding herein against Obama ARE mostly idiots. This is evidenced by the poor spelling and grammar they employ in their comments, as well as the uninformed content.

And yes, they regularly (always?) call into question the intelligence of those supporting Obama.

In addition, most of them profess to having some sort of relationship with our Creator and our Savior, but use it as an excuse to judge rather than a reason to reserve judgement, which I believe is contrary to Christian teachings.

Secondly, triscuit, I am not an Obama supporter and my grammar and spelling is fine. But Obama has admitted to being involved with shady characters, i.e., Rev. Wright, Mr. Ayers, and Mr. Khalidi. Obama may not be a terrorist, but these people DO NOT have Americans best interests at heart!

It's disturbing that no matter what a black person does in this country, some deem it insufficient. For decades, it was taunted that blacks are not intelligent enough to lead. Well, I think Obama's got that base covered. Some taunt his inexperience. Successful experience matters, not mere time on the job. Although, that quality didn't seem to matter much once Sara Palin came on the scene. I'm shocked that some white people are offended that blacks voted for Obama because of his race. Some withheld their vote for that same reason. And the ultra conservative are a joke. The hatred that seeps out through their ill attempts to proclaim pride and patriotism is sad. It almost evokes sympathy. It speaks volume about their inability to stretch and grow personally.

In closing, 60% of the ballots cast for Obama were done so by white Americans. Imagine that!

just get ready to hide your cash and try to dodge those high taxes coming

business will be headed overseas for sure now

unemployment will go up, the working class will turn against Obama, the little handouts he and Democrat Congress send out will not be enough to satisfy the masses as their hunger and discomfort heightens

home values will likely dwindle as mortgages are monkeyed with, foreclosures will still continue, banks will have a lot of pressure to continue with risky loans

I don't see how Obama can turn things around with his policy of tax increase, handouts, and even greater spending than Bush. Bush had to spend big as he had to deal with the biggest disasters of our history- Clinton's recession, 9/11 terrorist attack not only killed 3,000 people but set off a recession immediately, then the hurricanes, and YES the wars, and lastly a Democratic Congress. Everyone was for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan at the time, then as a nation we turned YELLOW. It's sad. We have no honor. McCain just had too steep a hill to climb, the deck was stacked against him, he was a good man, but his timing was wrong. All the Bush hatred, tore him down, I believe the wars are just and thanks to taking out Saddam the middleeast is stable and oil is back down under $100/barrel. The financial crisis was not a Republican disaster, the Democrats had more to do with that than anyone else going back to Clinton have the G/S Act of 1939 repealed, Obama bring suit against Citibank in 1999, Barney Franks passing legislation to pressure banks to make risky loans, it all added up and blew up on us finally, it wasn't Bush's fault. My opinion

The real winner- China mostly, and other foreign countries, that's where big business is now days, plus buying up our debt with the cash we are sending them as the government prints up dollars and the lower classes spend it on goodsand oil produced on the cheap over there, shipped here, sold here. Then China et al end up with all the money. Then the small business here trying to survive gets taxed to hell, and the government takes that spreads the wealth back out and the cycle goes on and on, enriching China et al.

We endured Carter and Clinton, we will endure Obama. This is a natural historical cycle, people have little memory and little desire to research the truth.

Obama ran a clean campaign. He never made this a race issue, the American public and the media did. If you know so much about politics, why is MS one of the poorest states in this nation? Why did it take your well-revered Pres. G.W.B. so long to get you assistance after the storms? Why does your state rank the lowest in education (as I can tell by the poor use of grammar on this blog, I can see why) and why have there not been any NEW businesses coming to the Miss-Lou area, oh I forgot, Office Depot? What have you done to bring about improvement in your own communities or your homestate that you love so much? I am so sick of people sitting on their tired soapboxes talking about what's wrong with the world, but doing NOTHING to help fix it. AGAIN, the election is OVER! Let it go! If you don't want to live in a country where Obama is president, pack up your pick-up trucks, your 12-gauges and your coon hunting dogs and lest I forget your CONFEDERATE flags and move somewhere else.

Yes some withheld their vote because of it too - that is called racism - so it looks like there is racism on both sides - so shut up about it already - deal with issues now and lets hope he does the best for his country. If people went out and voted clearly because of skin color - like I said the day of the election - they should have done the USA a favor and stayed home.

I grow sick of people saying how the Southerners are such racists, and how we are all such stupid oafs.

Obama won due to his skin color, plain and simple.

It is a fact that blacks will vote for a black candidate even if that candidate has no real plan, no clear message and is a political neophyte. Hell, he could murder his wife and set fire to his dog during the course of the campaign, and still- the blacks would vote for him.

And the only reason that the liberal whites jumped onboard to Obamas camp was to elect a BLACK man to the office, and to make themselves feel good about electing the first black man to the presidency.

Oh, but they cite such things as how closely associated McCain was to Bush, and how Mc voted so often in Bush's favor.

I am more worried about how closely associated Obama is with known terrorists , terrorist groups and fanatics that espouse hatred of our country. THEY are to be feared. Funny, how I never heard any associate of McCain or of Bush's that had any such charges brought against them.

And as far as voting along Bush's lines in Congress, did the liberals ever think that maybe, just maybe, that is what McCain thought was best for the country- the country that he and all of his friends and associates love??

And to place the blame of the economy on Bush was genius. He had nothing to do with it, but it was genius.

The Democrats in congress are the ones to blame, as they prevented oversite of Fannie May and Freddie Mac when there were rumblings and storm clouds on the horizon. Do a quick search on Barney Franks, Rep. Mass., and you will see that he was instrumental in the collapse of the industry that led to the Wall Street panic.

Yet somehow, Bush got blamed for this.

And all this Obama retoric about dispersal of wealth - shades of Huey Long. "Every man a King". It is called Socialism!! In the words of some of you---
Learn it, Love it, Learn to Love it.

I'm sick of all this. He was/ is not qualified for this job that has been handed to him by the liberal press and the "do good/ feel gooders". He is dangerous, ignorant about policy, has questionable associates and has Marxist beliefs.

Help us.

it is sad to see so many people still show there ignorance because of a mans skin color. it is also sad to see how racism is still alive here in mississippi. people would rather go for the white man and be broke instead of choosing the best man to bring this economy back to life. if you were to vote with seeing any of the candidates face just on there beliefs to better this nation OBAMA would still have won. for the people who does not realize it, yes BLACKS went out to vote to get a point across because we have been behind the scene for decades doing the work of the white man now its time for you all to show a little respect whether you like it or not he aint going any where. WE ARE NOT THROUGH YET, history have been made but it is only the beginning so some of you can drop the race thing or just be ingorant for the rest of your life because we are not backing down anymore.

latonya24, it was NOT the fault of republicans that the banking melt- down happened. It was the fault of the Democratically controlled Congress that failed to act on more than one occasion to prevent this from happening. It is a matter of record that McCain sought several times since 2002 for Congress to act on tightening regulations on the prime lenders, but it was blocked by---- liberal democrats! Where was Obama's voice these past couple of years? If he is so smart, why didn't he see this, and heed the warning signs? Nope. Let the financial scene crash, the sitting president (republican) will get blamed, and a democrat has a good shot at winning the office. Hmmmmm.

I just don't believe in the republican economic theory is all. Give money to big business and it trickles down to the average american. It just doesn't seem to work for me.

I believe in the opposite way, that you give money (tax breaks) to the small businesses and the money goes to the average person and builds jobs. That's what I believe and one reason why I made my choice.

I do not understand how Obama will make his plan work without increasing taxes. Were else will the money come from? Will we borrow from China? I am not tied to either party I just couldnt bring myself to vote for someone whom I truly believe is a muslim. That was my deciding factor and if he proves not to be I will be the first to say I was wrong.

kmonii05 our education system is so poor because we have idiots teaching our children, teachers that are just there for the pay check, and my child did come home from school and said that her teacher had said that she didnt care what they did or didnt learn because she was there for the check, not that its enough to live on. do you have kids here in school??? i do! the public school system here sux!!!!!!!!!! as for mississippi being the poorest state maybe it is because of these deadbeats sitting on their a's while the rest of us get up every morning and go to work to earn our living and dont wait on so called handouts from the government, we live on what we EARN!!! and the lack of good small businesses is due to the fact that the so called garden club or whatever they call themselves makes it almost impossible for any decent person to start a business because of their rules and regulations, do ya recall the sign problem for bad boy buggies??? i also believe that the response to the storm was not the sole responsability of the president it falls mainly on the governor and state officials in our state. so when the next four years are over and this nation is devistated by the election of obama i will have my pick-up-truck,my 12-guage shotgun, my coon dog's, and my flags and i can say we told ya so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To All: please read Judges 4:6 in the old testment (Bible), just in case you don't have a bible close by, this is what it says:
Judges 4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

And for all of you who thinks Obama is the worst thing that could have happen to america, if I felt that way I would just leave the country and never look back. Just remember where you go it's going to be somebody in chage (leadership) that you wouldn't like and they want like you.

I am not arguing race nor intelligence. I am a highly intelligent and might I add, educated, black woman. It is obvious that a lot of you lack candor or tact for that matter. Aak, as you seem to be an intelligent individual, you should really visit other parts of your state more, especially the more rural parts. I'm sure it would quite enlightening. As for Happybunny, it is obvious that you fall into that same "ignorance" category, that MSviaTN is so quick to place me in. Happy(sad)bunny, allow me to enlighten you. I was raised in Concordia Parish, educated in Ferriday schools and received a degree in biochemistry from LSU, allow me to add, on a full academic scholarship. My family still resides in Concordia Parish and for whatever reason they seem to like it there. I no longer live there, but as a FORMER resident, just as you, I have every right to participate on this blog or any other blog I choose. MSviaTN, your views are YOUR views and it's great that you have a fanclub for "aak". You are entitled. It is just so amazing to me how people are so cruel and yet can talk about wanting God having mercy. WOW! Obama's name is different, but it doesn't make him a terrorist by default. It doesn't make him any less American than you or I. Aak, I don't believe I will be on here on Jan 21, making any admissions, however, we have 4 years to see what this president will do. If he is successful, WONDERFUL, if not, then we will get another opportunity in 2012 to allow our voices to be heard again. Until such time, come up with a strategy and inform your elected officials what they can do to pull us out of the mess we've been in for the past several years. That's not just for MS, that's for EVERY state.

NEW YORK – A case of postelection nerves sent Wall Street plunging Wednesday as investors absorbed a stream of bad economic news and wondered how a Barack Obama presidency will help the country weather a possibly severe recession. Volatility returned to the market, with the Dow Jones industrials falling nearly 500 points and all the major indexes tumbling more than 5 percent.

Imagine that. NOW they are getting worried. Everybody better buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Please excuse me for being blunt, but what we ALL may be facing may make many of the above comments seem to be sort of contrite in the near future. Think about it; here is some of what the new President Obama (whether he is black, white, or both), and all of us will be confronted with during his term.

Huge drop in stock & bond markets worldwide ( and thereby mutual funds, hedge funds, ETFs, variable annuities, retirement accounts, equity collateral, etc.)

Dramatic drop in commodity prices worldwide

Drop in real estate values (and thereby equity and net worth)

Sub-prime, Alt A, etc., mortgage mess.

Toxic derivatives, and leverage on balance sheets of major companies.

Credit default swap crises (if you don't know, you will)

Hedge fund crisis

Credit card debt crisis (starting to unfold now)

Student loan crisis (ditto)

With all this happening now, and in the near future, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial (perhaps) branches of our government are facing daunting tasks, and we should all hope that they get correct most of what they do to meet it.

Please don't be short-sighted and say that it was Bush and the Republicans that caused these problems. It was the greed of investment bankers, bankers, speculators, and (yes) consumers of all stripes that caused the above, and now we all are (and will be) paying for it. How much will depend on how effectively it is dealt with by our governments and agencies at all levels. Don't mean to sound like "Chicken Little" (actually I'm usually pretty much an optimist), but these things are so big that race, politics, or semantics can't be part of the solution. We must get it right.

People! People! People! Enough is Enough! How long are we going to sit here and post these belittling, harsh, racially biased comments? The election is over and Barack has won. One thing for sure, not one you who is upset is going to move out of this country. You have a new president, a black man, so deal with it. It is a proven fact, based on these posts, that there is a little racism in everyone in one form or another. How we choose to act on those racist thoughts is a horse of another color. Many of your colorful posts are inspiring, uplifting, false, true, degrading, and shameless to say, bigotted. Although your opinions differ, you will not be able to force anyone else to belive as you do. Please stop beating a dead horse.

What I have read tonight, has definitely proven that we are not ready for change. Why should we all sit back and foolishly, selfishly wait for President Barack Obama to make a change for us, when we are constantly waging war on each other in the form of "Verbal Assault". The change starts within us. It starts with reversing all the terrible things we are saying to each other here tonight. Thank God code names are being used here. I would hate to know that one of my fellow co-workers of a different race, is posting such angry stuff in this forum.

I am proud to say that I voted for Barack Obama. I remained independent until 3 weeks ago. If he does not deliver, then that is a situation that will be dealt with in the next election. I am certainly not going to blame anyone else for what I did.

Let's be the adults, parents, teachers and leaders that we are expected to be. Let's give the devil a "black eye", and start making the change. Right here. Right now. Don't wait for Barack. He can only make changes in the government. The real change is in us as a nation of civilized people.

Someone stated that Barack does not pledge allegiance to the flag so that makes him un-American, un-patriotic. I ask you, how many games or events have you been to where you are engaged in a discussion where you did not cross your heart? If you can ever remember that, just pray no one got it on tape. If so, then you'd have to label yourself as "un-American, un-patriotic". Think before you label.

asandbb22, I acknowledge that President-elect Barack Obama is bi-racial.

That being said, to have a Republican acknowledge that I can be a Christian AND a Democrat (I do not support abortions - if you don't believe in abortion, don't get one - both parties should take responsibility for the life they create) and that I can oppose the Iraq war AND support the troops AND still be patriotic, would uplift my spirit in a remarkable way.

I think its great that you folks can't put Obama in a neatly defined box, Black, White, Multiracial, Christian, Muslim, American, and/or African. Maybe he is a bit of all these things, cosmopolitan I call it, and why should that frighten you?

Maybe this is his strength, that he can see things from different perspectives.

This is the problem with the two party system. Each side sees half the truth. While the nation has been watching this horse race most people have forgotten to notice that the bailout money has not been used to loosen up credit but instead has been used to consolidate within the banking industry with 70 billion earmarked for bonuses. While we've been fighting with one another our country has been turned over to the same bankers who created the mess we are in.

Barack Obama was not put into office to represent black people or muslims, he was put into office to represent banking and defense, the same as McCain would have had he been elected. Obama is more palatable because he looks different and makes good speeches and can fool the people longer.

All of you universal health care advocates and government job creation advocates should go and read what happens in every economy that moves to greater command and control under a charismatic leader. I don't reckon that is going to happen because all I see here is gloating. What happens is that government becomes steadily more intrusive, controlling, and stingy. All other people's revolutions ended up with the people tilling fields under armed guards and if any of you had been listening to anything other than the word "change" and projecting your own Christmas wishes onto that word you would be aware that Obama is talking about Universal Voluntary Service, Civilian Security Forces, and a Green Job Corps. These jobs will not be the sort of jobs that allow you to buy bling.

We are probably stuck in this cycle of rotating representation of finance and defense industry in our government as long as we keep allowing tv viewers to vote alongside people who don't own real property or pay taxes. The only thing that might save us is total economic collapse and that is a very real possibility.

Obama was groomed in a white man's world to carry out a white man's mission. He's already told all of us to be prepared for tough choices. He isn't talking about choosing between a Lincoln and a Cadillac.

There is one party in Washington and that is the party of money and power. Live with it or fight against it. Most all of you are just feeding it by letting it divide you and keep your minds on issues of insignificant relevance.

And whether or not I agree with them.

NEW PRESIDENT:

Thank God Bush is now a lame duck, I pray to god that Obama is

is for the people because he was voted in by the people I hope

that he does not fall into the corporation club of the government

this government was originally formed for the people by the

people. But for the last 60 years it has been run for the

corporations by the corporations

I worry about his thoughts of putting a 500% tax on ammunition

which means if you go to buy a $10.00 BOX OF AMMO it will cost

you $60.00 for that same box.

I hope he truly does what he promises about these American

companies that shut down here and moved over seas. I hope he

does charge them higher taxes. As far as I am concerned those

companies should be charge with treason we should ban all there products in the us.

I would also like to see him try and get the job situation fixed and also the welfare system fixed and make the ones that can work do public service until they get off of welfare you should not get something for nothing that is what drives our taxes sky high.
I would also like for him to abolish income tax because it is illegal to charge taxes on income if your not a business.it was set up for businesses and not the American worker research it their is not a law in any book that says you have to pay income tax it is being done illegally.

I would like to see him concentrate on American problems and put a stop to the excessive cost of health care in this country.

We need to close our boarders untill we can get this country under control.

We have got to concentrate on America, like family America and it's legal citizens should always come first no matter what.

Slavery was outlawed in England before it was outlawed in the US Zuluking. Blacks are still called the n-word, but mostly by each other, I hear it frequently on radio- just listen to any of the black comedians and rappers, or to black people talking on the streets.

Slavery is still alive and well, in fact there are more people living in slavery today than at any time in history. Much of it is happening in Africa, where the average rate for a person is one hundred dollars but as low as fifteen dollars.

I think you are going to find Obama much harsher with young mackdaddies like yourself than any white man would dream of being. What do you think he means by change? Making it easier for people to lead meaningless lives of pure sensuality? No, I don't think that's what he means.

if you are under thirty and unemployed you might as well start saying your goodbyes now because soon you'll be loading up on a bus to go overseas to work on a farm or construction project in Iraq or Afghanistan for about three hundred dollars a week, before taxes. Are you fond of the sun? If not, you might consider acclimating yourself now.

Hey, I'm not black but I can see why they are proud. It's the first Black or Black/White multiracial President. If he is the 'wrong' man, well so was Bush. Many who voted Obama did it as protest against Bush. If Mccain is such a Maverick, he should have ran independent instead of Republican like Bush. Can it get any worse, esp. with our national debt and public education so far behind the other western and asian first world democracies? Get your heads outta that book of revelation and look at what other countries like Sweden and Singapore have accomplished with education, standard of living, healthcare, care for the aged, public transportation, and low crime.

As for abortion, If you are against abortion like me, then you should support the social programs to care for families of unwanted children.

Oh yeah, Government is broken and we are going to fix it. There is going to be some intelligence at the table who have faith in what they are doing and the working man is going to have a seat at the table once again! Yes we can!!! Stay positive Obama supporters and don't let the naysayers, haters and fiscally unconservative pundits get us down!!! There is alot to be done in the next few months and years.

I don't care what your feelings on abortion or gun laws are. My response to you was based on your false statement of Obama not saluting the flag, (and his being a Muslim and supposedly being sworn into the Senate on the Koran.) These are all false statements and can be proved. These were emails sent out as propaganda. If you’re a woman you have the right to make any decision you want about YOUR body, if you’re a man you have no right to speak for ME or my body about an abortion.
There is only ONE RACE, the HUMAN RACE we all bleed red. I wish that those that are still upset with the Nations choice would just get your OWN website and complain to your hearts content, why do you think we had this election, it is everyone's right to vote. So for all the sore losers go commiserate and talk amongst yourselves, we "Forward looking voters" would like to enjoy the thought of equality for all and the chance to start moving toward a united country. For the last two elections many of us felt the same about Bush as you feel for Obama, so as we had to live with the choice of America then YOU have to figure out how to deal with America's choice now. 11/6/08

Medical definition is a miscarriage is a natural abortion vs induced abortion. The word abortion means losing a baby before it can survive outside the womb. Normally we don't use medical terms in everyday language so an abortion is murder of a baby, miscarriage is something wrong that the mother could not help. And priya you really need to read up on partial birth abortions.

MSviaTN, priya is right about the definition. In medical terms she's right, but your right about it being an insensitive thing to say. When someone hears the word abortion they are going to automatically assume the mother aborted of her own free will. I had a miscarriage about 14 years ago, after trying very hard for a year, and using ovulation kits and everything to try and get pregnant, and finally it happened, but about 6weeks into the pregnancy I started bleeding and having cramps. It was in fact the worst time in my life. All I ever wanted was to have a healthy baby, we tried so hard and to have it end that way was very devastating to say the LEAST. I don't take offense to her saying that, it was a spontaneous abortion, something I didn't have any control over. Fortunately though, the LORD has blessed me with two beautiful girls who are very healthy.

I'm hearing that Obama getting elected and Dr. Martin Luther Kings dream go hand in hand. If anyone voted for Obama to make history due to his skin color, your vote was in direct contradiction with Dr. King. If you voted for him due to the content of his character, you don't know much about Barack Obama.

Incognito, thats an outstanding response to my comment. Evidently, you find merit with my comment, being you've limited yourself only to remark about my post name in which you know nothing about. Outstanding!

Yes we can!
expect more than 4 years to get back on financial track.
Yes we can!
expect that being elected doesnt mean he has the experience to solve the problems of the nation
Yes we can!
watch as he fails as all presidents do to make everyone happy - because essentially the welfare mentality developed by so many people want a government who will take us by the hand and take care of us.
Yes we can!
expect the same rape (the middle class tax payers, that is) of our check. If you are on welfare, expect a longer free ride.
Yes we can!
get our hopes up way to high, and then who will you blame it on in 4 years?
This country needs many long years to fix what the Bush legacy has wrought - so while everyone is dancing in the streets, get ready for a real, non negotiable recession.

I hope he does well - I live here too. But I am not quite ready to join in the silly samba line that so many people seem to want to dance. Get your heads out of the clouds ASAP people - it's a long climb back up.

fire39212 "report away--who cares?" I DO---and like the poster the other day, I plan to report you TOO. Since you like so much attention, I'm sure it won't bother you. You never know who's what or what agencies the bloggers on here work with. Recieved several out-of-state personal e-mails that commented on your statement. I encouraged them to do the same. There's an old thruth that says "be careful what you say, you don't know who is listening". SO TRUE, SO TRUE!

ALLSMILES,

I NOTICE YOU ATTEMPTED TO READ MY COMMENT. YOU FAILED TO DO SO. NOW GET SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN READ SO THEY CAN POINT OUT THAT THE COMMENT STATED

YOU LOST, GET OVER IT. NOT "WE WON". NOW, SINCE THAT IS CLEARED UP, THE POINT I WAS MAKING WAS THAT OBAMA WON. MCCAIN LOST. STOP WALKING AROUND WITH YOUR LIPS POKED OUT AND HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE MCCAIN LOST. I VOTED FOR OBAMA BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE IS WHAT WE NEED TO TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND AND BRING CHANGE AND HOPE NOT ONLY TO THE USA BUT TO COUNTRIES WITH WHOM WE DEAL WITH, ECONOMICALLY OR OTHERWISE. NO, ALLSMILES, I VOTED FOR BARACK BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HIS ABILITY NOT HIS SKIN COLOR. AND FOR YOU TO HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BELIEVE THIS FRIVILOUS DETAIL INSPIRED MY VOTE SHOWS JUST HOW PATHETICALLY IGNORANT YOU ARE (BESIDES NOT BEING ABLE TO READ A SENTENCE CORRECTLY OR IDENTIFY AN UNDERLYING IDEA).

FIRE39212,

YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU LIKE, DEAR. I WILL REPEAT MY STATEMENT. YOU BEST HOPE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS TO BARACK OBAMA. MY POINT IN THAT STATEMENT IS THAT MORE PEOPLE TODAY BELIEVE IN AN EYE FOR AN EYE MORE SO THAN THEY DID IN 1968. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU SPEAK. THE END RESULT OF THAT MAY BE MORE DETREMENTAL THAN THE ACTUAL OCCURANCE.

UHAVEGOT2BEJOKING,

YOU ARE CORRECT. MOST BLACK PEOPLE ARE RACIST TOWARD WHITES AND RIGHTFULLY SO. AND YES, I DID ASK THE DEMOCRAT WHY THEY REMOVE OUR COMMENTS. THEY DON'T REMOVE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW WHITES HATE BLACKS (YANKEE'S COMMENT ABOVE). THAT SEEMS TO BE FINE. BUT WHEN I LEAVE A COMMENT THAT IS NOT...OH....CAUCASIAN FREINDLY, IT IS ERASED. DO NOT INSULT MY INTELLEGENCE BY ATTEMPTING TO PLAY THE "POOR UNDESERVING VICTIM" OF RACISM. THAT SIR, MADAM, OR WHOMEVER, IS A JOKE. THIS COMMUNITY IS FULL OF RACISM FUELED BY THE GOOD OLE' INNOCENT WHITE FOLK OF THE MISS-LOU. BLACK PEOPLE DON'T HATE ANYMORE THAN THEY ARE HATED. THIS COMMUNITY IS FULL OF HATEFUL WHITES AND BLACKS. YOU ARE INSANE IF YOU BELIEVE THAT BLACKS ARE THE MAIN RACIST ONES IN SOCIETY. AS FOR MY EXPERIENCES, LET'S JUST SAY I WASN'T BORN FEELING THE WAY THAT I DO SO SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE I WAS EXPOSED TO PLENTY OF RACISM AND INJUSTICES. SO UNTIL YOU WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES, YOU SIR, MADAM OR WHATEVER, SHUT THE HELL UP !!!

Aw c'mon folks and calm down.

There will be racists around here forever.

If black folks take 200 years to get over the last 200 then SO WHAT???

Of course that won't be good enough for the white racists and the apologists for how it always was before -- they thought that black people should shut up then and they think that black people should shut up now -- go figure.

Right now -- Barack Obama is the best thing for this nation -- the best thing for blacks -- and the best thing for the racist whites.

For those hateful lumps that just ran the McCain/Palin nastiness and hate campaign -- if you just chill out we will eventually forgive you. But if you don't we will continue to call you what you are.

You people should be ashamed. I live in another state now and just wanted to see what my hometown thought about our president-elect. For people to be so racist is just so stupid and sad. America voted and the election is over so move on. Someone even had the nerve to make a threat on this man's life. This is a man who regardless of his job and political stance, has a wife, two children and brothers and sisters. How could someone even think that about anyone whether black, white, or red? We are Americans should be proud because the rest of the world sees us now as not being some racist, one-sided country who goes around being a bully. Natchez Democrat you need to remove theses blogs because again, before a company even looks at putting a business in any town they do research. These blogs are going to hurt this town more than help it.

OH FIRE39212,

HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGET THE 1/16TH RULE. YOU DO KNOW WHAT THAT IS, DON'T YOU? ANYHOW, THAT RULE PREVENTS THE ELGIBILITY OF PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA'S HALF WHITE STATUS. THIS IS A RULE YOUR FOLKS MADE UP BACK IN THE DAY. SO, SORRY. HE IS BLACK (ACCORDING TO THE 1/16TH RULE) THOUGH TECHNICALLY, HE IS BI-RACIAL BUT SO WERE OVER 40% OF SLAVES :) !!!!!

NO, NATCHEZLADY YOU ARE WRONG, YOU SAID "WE WON" I'M JUST REPEATING WHAT YOU SAID. IF ANYONE IS IGNORANT IT IS YOU. WHY DO YOU BELIEVE BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT VOTED FOR OBAMA. I VOTED FOR OBAMA, YES I'LL SAY IT AGAIN I VOTED FOR OBAMA. IT'S YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO SPEW VENOM OF RACISM ALL OVER THIS TOWN. I PERSONALLY THINK OBAMA WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE AND THINK HE WILL DO A GREAT JOB. JUST DON'T GET UPSET WHEN HE DOESN'T TAKE SIDES LIKE YOU ALL HAVE.

I thought in Louisiana it used to be 1/32.

Many folks were raised that if you had a drop or two of black blood you were black -- those kids might revert at any time. And no amount of white blood could remove that possibility.

Now it would seem if we used animal husbandry as a model it is the hybrids that make the strongest stock -- go figure how our ancestors could be wrong.

I think I am a reincarnated Chinese black guy in a British frame -- my wife agrees -- and it actually feels a lot better than being a redneck, He,he!
