Barack Obama Elected President!

[JackPeyton]

You vote for Obama.

I vote for Clinton.

after one of them gets the nom, then if its Obama i have a choice to make and if its Clinton you do.

-------------

Some woman is on TV balbing about how Obama didnt went in PV because he is black and no one will say that. I disagree, He didnt win because og his comments about middle america. he has cut the throat there and needs to do a lot of work to fix it. IMHO...

His color did have a little to do with it. Who knows how much, but if anyone thinks that people will look past his color.......they are very sadly wrong.

There are close-minded people in PA. just like there is anywhere else.

[JackPeyton]

well sure, it had something to do with it. but was that the main reason he didnt win? i honestly dont think so. He made some bad comments and will have a lasting affect on him. i really was kinda on the fence with him up until those comments, and i can say for myself his color means nothing to me. i aslo do think hilary being a woman has the same affect.

i actually was really looking forward to voting him because this is my first election and i was happy that in my first election i was going to vote for the first black pres and i wanted him to win.. but then somewhere along the lines i started to not like him and some of his comments really put me off and then the rev thing reallly put me off, and those last comments were it for me.

[DevotedToAMC]

You interpret it one way and I do it another way. Let's just call it there

[JackPeyton]

^I agree with you, they6 do pretty much mean the same thing.

[Roman]

Let's do that, because they don't sound remotely the same to me.

[Ryan]

I've stayed out of thread for a couple of reasons, but after reading some comments, I decided to respond again.

1) Exactly what was wrong with what Obama said about people being bitter?

2) Why is it so hard for people to understand that Obama doesn't have to agree with everything Rev. White said, that they can disagree on things yet still remain in his church and maintain a friendship? I don't see how just because Rev. White said something, that automatically means Obama condones and follows Rev. White's statements.

I'd like to post more about this but my phone is ringing at work, so I'll be back soon.

PS- Attacking and obliterating are completely different things.

[JackPeyton]

^RC, i will talk with you about that offline because i dont feel like stirring this already boiling pot, lol...

these made me lol-

[Sylph]

JP, are you Hillary's supporter? I can't scan through all these pages to find an answer.

[DaytimeFan]

I love the Y&R Clinton Style...Bill really fits Eric Braeden.

GO HILLARY! That's all I've got to say.

Roman, someone on this board proved my point about caring more about the scandals than the issues.
