News: Welcome Mr. President Obama

Yeah! because redistributing wealth to investment bankers sure beats the heck out of feeding little kids!

Just what you need. Another excuse to sit at your computer all day playing on BigSoccer instead of working. That is not the Change I Can Believe In!

Bizarre question, yo. To find out the answer, let's see how Martin Luther King's church with current pastors, MLK's sister, and MLK's children reacted the moment Obama was announced President...

Ahhhh what a beautiful day. I feel great today.

Save the Whales, Kill the Babies--Vote Obama

That's odd. It's even more bizarre seeing Christians of MLK's flock celebrate anything associated with a man more left than Ted Kennedy.
If indeed those you single out flip hold to what MLK preached all his life. The sanctity of life and all that jazz.

And this election wasn't about race.

Senor Jizzum ....You need to quit looking at those minors warming up at gym .

Re: Save the Whales, Kill the Babies--Vote Obama

Obama and King have a lot more in common than they have disagreements on.

Abortion is a red herring in national politics anyway. If Republicans actually wanted to overturn Roe v Wade they could have done it in 2006 (after Alito was confirmed, before Democrats regained Congress).

why are SOME white folks so angry today.

my boss was talking politics to me (i'm smart, i didn't say anything, i just nodded) and he's pissed off. let's look at the scoreboard:

white protestant presidents: 42
white catholic presidents: 1
african-amercian presidents: 1

scoreboard to the WPPs. settle down folks. if he sucks he'll be gone in 4 years.

I am not angry Rey. I just love my students running around class chanting Osama's name, like they had something to do with him being elected. I asked them to tell me one thing that Obama has done that warrants him being elected. Their response, "He ain't George W. Bush." By that logic, myself, Rey, Tio Sam, and even Blo your load before you are N Houston can warrant being named President.

Can I hear an AMEN?
Seriously Rey, a perfect way to think about it.

Re: Save the Whales, Kill the Babies--Vote Obama

Um, what?

MLK was a dude that, like, spoke about having a dream of one day seeing a nation judge people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. The country celebrated like we won the World Cup because we got to watch MLK's dream come true last night, and we can tell our kids and grandkids the fact that we were alive to see it. Why would anyone think that MLK wouldn't support that?

There is no way in hell that I was voting republican this election. I am extremely proud of our country. We have come very far from the past where there was no way that a non-white person could become a president. That said, I think we just elected one of the greatest teams of advertising, marketing, and speech writers ever assembled. To create that much hype around a single person who has proven nothing is no small task.

I just hope that we are actually seeing the emperor's new clothes.

As a wise man said previously in this thread (or words to that effect).

If he can't make the cut then he'll be out in four years and definitely out in 8. Then again - those advertising, marketing, speech writing folks will just engineer a new one.

CaCa - I need a drink.

On the bright side - we could be living in a country that has President for Life.

sorry homie, article 2 of the constitution says me and Arnold ('the governator') can't be president.

the founding fathers wanted to make sure a jerk-off like me wouldn't get in. damn, those bastages were good.

And it is people who have this type of attitude about our President-Elect that bother me, joke or no....


Especially with a very Democratic Congress.

We'll see.

Bwahahahahhahahahahahaha

Biter much SeñorCulo?

What up Celt! Hahahah I see you had some hater-ade this morning with some decaff passive aggresive. I still love all you raggedy hoes regardless of the fact you put a piece of shit in the white house for eight years, let us have our fun too!

Re: Save the Whales, Kill the Babies--Vote Obama

Very true.

fyp amigo. Btw...certainly with the idea of robbing Peter to pay Paul...you will always receive tremendous support from Paul.

Cuz Obama's outlook certainly doesn't matchup with MLK's outlook. King's writings in his Letters from Birmingham paint the portrait of a leader who looks at free will and the sanctity of life as his core beliefs. IMHO flippin, I just don't hear that sentiment echoed by the Jr. Senator from Illinois.

Solid. However I would like to see a man like Obama listed as minority president and not African-American as that term in itself is not intellectually honest. Not all blacks in the Americas are of African decent and not all Africans are black.
It leaves the idea open for other cross sections of our culture to round out the list above and yet not add to the scorecard of who falls where. I do appreciate the Kennedy nod, he was the last Prez to really have a go at being original.

With all this said I would like to highlight this thinking as we all MOVE FORWARD in the coming years. For I am the first to celebrate the mere idea that a minority group in our U.S. culture can indeed strive to wint he highest office in the land.
For if the few are too seperated from the processes of the many, we get a recipe for complete disillusion with why the government is. Sabes???

Still, the deep secret of democracy’s triumph lies in its implicit promise to do away with government. “We are not being ruled, we rule ourselves,” the proud democrat is inclined to say. Actually, democracy is not self-rule but merely the rule of majorities over minorities—and if the minorities see no chance to win elections, they will become revolutionaries. ---Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

Well let me proceed by blowing my load all over your cara, Jizzum Juicer.

Hey those future leaders need to be kept in check, do your JOB!
did they effect the election? YEs, by whinning to their parents that Puff daddy, Oprah and their Tio Dynamo said to vote for Obama!

Well for one he has United a divided country and made us all proud to be Americans. after 8 years of Bush Co. the sky is the limit.

Oh boy...

I didn't vote for the puppet known as Bush.

I don't agree with all of the concepts from the Austrian Kuehnelt-Leddihn but I firmly believe in the above Memo.

So good on our system for seeing a man of color win the election. This, hopefully, opens doors on many levels for the youth in our nation to reflect on this moment in U.S. history and where we go from here. Specifically uplifting for the young urban black male and their now abolished false idea of The Man.

Re: Well let me proceed by blowing my load all over your cara, Jizzum Juicer.

63,568,329 votes for Obama

56,198,499 votes for McCain

Does that sound like we are all united? If I remember right, after the 2000 election, when some old Jewish people could not read a simple ballot, Democrats were quick to say that President Bush would not be "THEIR" president.

This election proved media hype beyond a shadow of a doubt. Media outlets like CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC all catered to the left, painting Obama as this great person who would unite a nation divided. The vote last night proves that this nation is more divided than ever.

However, many question still remain about Barack Hussein Obama (oops, I forgot, you can't say his middle name. He will get mad and whine to CNN.). Who is he? Where is he from? What has he done? Why has he aligned himself with people with such radical views? For those of you who haven't done so, go read Obama's book. It is very scary that a lot of what he wrote in his book went unchallenged. What is worse is that when he was questioned on some of the things in his book, he quickly dismissed them and changed his position. I thought John Kerry was the ultimate flip flopper.

This election was not won by Barack Obama. It was lost by the Bush administration and some of their failed policies. It pretty much gave no decent Republican a chance to win this election. People wanted change and they are going to get it. I hope that Americans are smart enough to realize what they just got themselves into.

I watched a PBS special the other night which people were given a list of the stances of both candidates without listing who stood for what. It was amazing to see how many people agreed with the stances of John McCain before they knew it was his beliefs and what he stood for. I made my students watch the show, and did the same thing to them, before I revealed who stood for what, my vote tally was:

89 McCain
31 Obama
35 Undecided

Yesterday, during my mock election (yes, we do educate students Blu, and you are more than welcome to come to class and learn as well), our tallies were:

115 Obama
40 McCain

I guess you can give people all the information they need, but you can't change the hearts and minds. I guess rational education lost out to people like Oprah telling people to vote for Obama.


It isn't a bitter thing Memo, it is more about the fact that every election, millions of people go out and cast uneducated votes. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in masses. I turly hope that President Elect Obama does well in office and people continue to prosper. Unfortunately, I just don't see it happening. Case in point, just 9 hours after the announcement of Senator Obama's election, Russian President Medvedev announced that he is moving missiles closer to the Polish border. Here comes that international crisis Joe Biden warned us about!

Don't worry Rey. We can get you a fake birth certificate and say you were born in Del Rio and you are suddenly eligible to run.
