Watching it live on C-SPAN, he is in Springfield Illinois in front of the old capitol.
Surprise!
Thats what I said.
oh no.. is this going to be a thread of nothing but Surprise!
It is Surprise!
Wow mugatu hating on a black man? Surprise!
Wow mugatu hating on a democrat? Surprise!

Wow mugatu hating on a black man? Surprise!
Wow mugatu hating on a democrat? Surprise! |
Wow, a liberal lying?
he’s come a long way since his days in africa
fixed.
Damn commie liberuls!
No, I meant the poster, not Obama.
I don’t hate on blacks and I don’t hate on all Democrats.
|
No, I meant the poster, not Obama.
I don’t hate on blacks and I don’t hate on all Democrats. |
oh.
I just don’t see what Obama has done other than being black and being articulate
As far as I’m concerned, it’s all PC hype.
His middlename is Hussein
We just got rid of one Hussein and now people want to make another one president? Stop the insanity!
Was that NWA - Fuck Tha Police playing after the speech?
What happened? I’m at work and can’t watch.
Two calls of opposition… I think his campaign will fail.
The caller said Illinois is full of idiots and that Obama is not presidential caliber being in the senate for only 2 years.
The second caller sounded like the black guy off of family guy…
The sad thing is, and someone please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, is that the guy has no real accomplishments and is running only on hype. And since his campaign will fail for that reason, his supporters will claim that it was because of racism and further divide the country.
That’s pretty much the way I see it
I’ve never heard of anything he has actually done, other than make speeches.
what were bush’s real accomplishments?
oil company? baseball team? c student?
I think the hype might be enough. A guy who isn’t seemingly spoiled by DC has a lot of appeal.
|
what were bush’s real accomplishments?
oil company? baseball team? c student? |
Yeah, we’re not talking about Bush.
Saying "your guy sucks just as much" is not an accomplishment.
|

Kerry was a c- student.

you support someone who has made no real accomplishments, but attack someone else who is trying to do the same thing.
pot meet kettle
we want a president with the name that looks almost like Osama
|
what were bush’s real accomplishments?

at least he was in the government for more than 2 years
|

I never voted for Bush.
And thank you for illustrating exactly what I mean. All hype - you can’t even name one accomplishment this guy has had.
I don’t know that - he has no track record.
I do like that he’s an "outsider", at least for now, but that’s not enough on its own.
I want to announce on OT, my campaign for presidency in 2008.
Send me money now so I can win.
are you actually going to vote for someone based on the color of their skin? Look at me I’m black….make me president!
Take away Obama’s color, and he has nothing
|

so all the bush sackriding for the last 3-4 years ive seen from you suddenly all stops and dissapears?
not corrupt my ass. Both of those parties are black to the core.
|

better than hilary
bush did coke.
There are dumb people on both sides of the fents.
I wouldnt vote for him anyways. Child of a militant muslim.
He is black, his middle name is Hussein, and now he is going to be attacking Walmart. I have seen aids patients with better chances than him
I’ve already asked more often than I should have had to - name one thing. This is about Obama, not Bush.
I’m not going to vote for "the lesser of 2 evils" this election, like I did in the last one. I’ll just throw my vote away and vote for some 3rd party member.
The people who’ll vote for Barack are racists, since they are voting solely because of the person’s color.
+ I sincerely doubt Barack will get past the primaries
"i was wondering if anybody had considered the implication of having a muslim as the leader of our country"
"well…he’s not muslim as far as religion…he’s a member of the united church of christ…"
"i thought he had changed his name for a muslim one with muhammad"
"well, his middle name is Hussein, his full legal name is Barak Hussein Obama…"
"oh. <long pause> thank you very much"
keep avoiding the point im making
You didn’t make any points.
I posed a question and you started crying like a little bitch.
Why are you arguing with me anyway? I asked for information on him, you have a chance to turn me into his supporter but instead you’re acting like an idiot and turning people away from him.
Arent you trying to avoid the point he is trying to make by bringing something completely different up?
He is a politician, so no he isnt clean, and he has no accomplishments that anyone can seem to name.
he is saying that obama hasnt done anything worthwhile, all while supporting bush. i point out that the person he supports hasnt done anything worthwhile either. its called hypocrisy.
It’s a play on words dipshit.
all thats required is:
The President must be a natural born citizen of the United States (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), at least 35 years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.
so why isn’t barack qualified?
my wife is blowdrying her hair… I can’t hear the TV
He’s NOT the first black man to run for the office so thats not anything groundbreaking…
Just out of curiosity, are you ever going to list any of Obamas accomplishments?
|
So the people that want to vote for him:
Tell me why? I just don’t understand why anyone would besides the fact that he is black. |
Well, since his so called super supporter frong doesn’t even know why he supports him, I did a little digging - here’s his bio from his senate website.
I didn’t know that he was a state senator for 7 years before he became a US senator - something frong could have easily said in answer to my question. He sounds like an alright guy and I am no longer as worried that he is "too green" at this to become an able president but I guess only time will tell how he stands on issues that are important to me and what he decides to run on.

United States Senator for Illinois
Senator Barack Obama Sworn into office January 4, 2005, Senator Obama is focused on promoting economic growth and bringing good paying jobs to Illinois. Obama serves on the important Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees legislation and funding for the environment and public works projects throughout the country, including the national transportation bill. He also serves on the Veterans ’ Affairs Committee where he is focused on investigating the disability pay discrepancies that have left thousands of Illinois veterans without the benefits they earned. Senator Obama also serves on the Foreign Relations Committee. During his seven years in the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. Obama also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases. Obama is especially proud of being a husband and father of two daughters, Malia, 8 and Sasha, 4. Obama and his wife, Michelle, married in 1992 and live on Chicago ’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ. Barack Obama was born on August 4th, 1961, in Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham. Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983, and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. |

"i was wondering if anybody had considered the implication of having a muslim as the leader of our country" |
he admits to his faults.
I asked what he has done - you could have told me but instead you started your bitchy little idiotic rant.
In this thread, by posting his bio, I have done far more for Obama’s campaign then your idiotic, no-reason fanboyism.
he doesn’t need to list any stellar accomplishments just to run or even WIN for that matter..
Bush didn’t have great accomplishments
Kennedy didn’t
Nixon didn’t
Reagan didn’t Carter didn’t
Clinton didn’t
name a presidential candidate in the last 30 years who was outstanding and well "qualified" BEFORE running for office?
|

fanboys = lose
George W Bush only had six years in elected office when he became president, in Texas, where there are strict limits on the governor’s power…
So Harvard law magna cum laude, President of Harvard Law review, two best seller books, and being so in demand to give speeches as well as his political posts are not real accomplishments?
He’s charismatic, extremely intelligent, and is quite capable of being the president of this nation.

I asked because I didn’t know - don’t be so pussy hurt when someone asks a question and assume that they are mocking your pet candidate.
you didn’t answer the question…
I was posting that in response to someone on page one that said he hasn’t accomplish anything.
He’s not my pet candidate, I’m very displeased he isn’t pro-gay rights. However I do think he is a better choice than all of democratic and republican candidates at this time.
Here’s something:
Partnering first with Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), and then with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), Obama successfully introduced two initiatives bearing his name. "Lugar–Obama" expands the Nunn–Lugar cooperative threat reduction concept to conventional weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles and anti-personnel mines. The "Coburn-Obama Transparency Act" provides for a website, managed by the Office of Management and Budget, listing all organizations receiving Federal funds from 2007 onward, and providing breakdowns by the agency allocating the funds, the dollar amount given, and the purpose of the grant or contract. On December 22, 2006, President Bush signed into law the "Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act," marking the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor.
What question was that? This is a thread about Obama and I’m starting to think that, while he is truly a good candidate, that he will lose because his supporters seem to be idiots.
Didn’t you learn your lesson from Kerry’s defeat? People want to know about the candidate running, not about how he’s not the other guy/girl running.

Thank you - I wasn’t attacking him, I really did not know because in all the news I’ve heard of him they never say anything about him.

i agree…but the sentiment is that he’s not even qualified to be running.
bush was REAL religious…and won reelection..
you can’t negate religion in this country
Um, almost everyone in this country is religious.
|

I don’t think Bush is really religious, not any more than any other president. He just played that angle to get votes, unfortunately. He didn’t do 99% of the stuff he told the religious right that he would.
so mugatu is bitter about obama cause he doesn’t know anything about him?
Try reading the thread, retard.
i did; you claim he’s all hype. ok
|
so no one has the balls to run admitting they are not religious?
it’s the 21st century |
not when religious groups wield the most political power.
politics is about appeasing the group that has the most influence..
how do you tell the BIBLE BELT that you want to be the leader of the country and you DON’T believe in God?
an agnostic or atheist candidate has a worse chance of winning any high level office than a black man or woman running…
You = moron.
You seem to have no reading comprehension.
Ok.

Um, most successful people ar religious.

doubt anyone cares but i helped close this account for our company.

flaming aside, you say he is hype because you’re too lazy to read about his accomplishments
To all you idiots saying people are going to vote for him because he’s black, if you would remember a few years ago a man named Alan Keyes was running…now why do you think you’ve never heard of him?
I’m sure that once you arrived, you’d make sure there was plenty of it.
Nobody is saying they’re voting for him because he’s black…
and Alan Keyes is the worst example of a black candidate ever. He said Obama wasn’t african american because he wasn’t descended from slaves
|

no…there are people on here (umm idiots i think you call them) who say that the only reason anyone is voting for him is becuase he’s black…
All said and done, he doesn’t stand a chance against the Hillary juggernaut. Which is disappointing, because I’d vote for him over Hillary any day.
But I’d vote for McCain over either of those two as well.
I may just have to end up voting Libertarian again.

He would probably make a decent president except for his strong socialist leaning I wouldn’t have a problem with voting for him.

It’s going to come down to the black vote.
They love Hillary because she’s a Clinton, and the black community LOVES Bill Clinton. Obama needs to make them not only like him more, but go out and vote for him.

Do you think they will even though he has a white mother? He’s a light-skinned black man. I bet, come election time, he’ll be too-black for the racist whites and too-white for the racist blacks.

I think Blacks hate for that bitch is pretty high.
Bingo.
Keyes was a complete faghat racist. And I’m black….
No way to tell yet
According to polls, Hillary has 60% of black support, Obama has just 20%. But it’s way too early to tell anything…we’re still 21 months away. 18 months before the 2000 election, Libby Dole was the leading vote getter
It’s split I believe, but there is love for because she’s a Clinton so Barack has na uphill battle.
you think wrong then
:blackpeople:
Not really trying to be racist but the logic is there
He’ll get another shot in 2012 as long as this isn’t a total disaster
i have something to say but i just woke up so i cant
Black support for Clinton is alot higher than it is for Obama…
Now is the time, he doesn’t need to wait.
Why do you say that?
Obama probably doesn’t have a great chance to win this election, but it’s going to get his name out there as a frontrunner for the 2012 election. Half the battle is name recognition which is what this campaign is about.

wasn’t Howard Dean leading in the democratic polls last time as well? then Kerry made it in.
It’s a risk either way. if he waits, his time could pass. if he runs, the hype could die down early.

i’m flabbergasted by this
It has worked for McCain
Im a republican on most issues but for the love of god if a democrat pres had to be in office please dont let that bitch get it
3%
A black president.
What was that saying with the frozen hell?

A black president.
What was that saying with the frozen hell? |
my first thought was to dismiss your silly eastern european opinion
but i wonder if maybe there’s still that much racism in this country that he wouldnt have a chance.
frong has to be one of the stupidest mother fuckers ive ever seen sackride someone.
