“Well, this evening, the country has proved my old man wrong and we’re the better for it.”

***********

This has been liberals life’s work.

This campaign had little to do with substance- just skin color.

I'm sure that there were masses within the nation of Israel who got all choked up when they were permitted to foolishly choose Saul as King back in the time of Samuel the prophet.

They'll be all choked up again later...but for a much different reason.

Well, this young man is pretty objective, isn’t he?

What a big bunch of bull durham.

Mr. Obama is not Jackie Robinson. He’s Mr. T with a law degree.

Geesh.

Careful, God told Samuel to let them have their king. He had plans for a King all along.........:^)

Hmmm.....see I don’t have racists in my family. So it wasn’t such a big deal when Obama won.

Black commentary is mostly about how proud they are as African
Americans, This would include Condi Rice. Their votes were about Race and little else.
