He was in the right place at the right time. The media singled him out as the most "qualified" candidate. He got TONS of publicity, and he was a democrat running at a time when most of the American public was tired of republicans (even though the Democratic majority Congress is seeing single digit approval ratings).

People don't care who/what caused their problems, they just go opposite of the easiest most discernable observation. It doesn't matter whom caused the current economic crisis, the party in power was going to take the blame for it. When **** goes wrong, people vote for the other guy.

Democrats have pulled ~90% of the black vote in this coutry for decades. Obama pulled close to the same percentages as Al Gore of the black vote.

Obama ran a much better campaign then McCain. McCain made more small mistakes than Obama and one larger one (his VP choice). Any discernable American knows neither major candidate would've been able to do much for the current economic problem. The problem I see a lot of you are having is, how people were captivated by a simple campaign. Take a marketing course, you'll be able to see it better.
There was a mere 6% difference in the popular vote, in all honesty if the democrat nominee had not been obama there's no telling what may have happened

I'll allow you to be ignorant.

Learn to deal with reality. Meanwhile you can't deny the fact that the far-left mainstream media were rooting for your boy Barry.

Typical talking points.



Is that not his name? Pay attention when he places his middle finger on the Bible to take the oath.


This just does not deserve an answer. Do you call McCain Sidney? Do you call Ron Paul "Earnest"?


I shall call him what I choose. You have no privilege of erasing the First Amendment, but your wish to do so is a good proof of what I have said about Hussein.





That you want us to bow to B.O. and the far-left mainstream media is your call, but you haven't presented a logical case against what I said. Don't be ambitious beyond your ability, little buddy.

There you go again. You fail to even show respect to the next POTUS. Personal attacks (on me as well as him) will get you nowhere. I don't want you to "bow" to him, I never even implied anything of the sort. There is no point in continuing this argument, but I'm sure you'll take that as evidence that you've "won".

No; I won because I am dedicated to truth and principle, including most specifically the principle that positions of authority should be awarded on the basis of merit, which is a principle you and the rest of the far-left weaklings hate. But then none of you is a person of principle, and don't forget that using Big Government to shake people down for achieving so the losers in life can be rewarded (for voting Hussein) is not a matter of principle. It is, rather, just the weakness I schooled you about a couple of messages earlier. Your boy is token who has never achieved anything or held a real job, and his marxist dogma is guaranteed to destroy this nation. But hey...that's the way you want it.

Have fun with that.

Alright!! These clips are taken of some very ignorant people that had no business voting, but I think that it is just as ignorant to imply that most of the black race voted in this light.

During the primary season, I myself felt Joe Biden had the most appeal to me. The race vote was also a double sided sword, there were a lot of people who did not vote for Obama because he has some black in him. The funny thing was the ignorance after the election. There were people flags with monkeys on them in their yard, and had black dolls hanging form trees. As a cop I was like seriously.

BTW.... I feel the comment about the term african american. When somebody says that around me,I tell them to relax not be pc all the time.

Good ole' Joe. The candiate who said on video he'd never be any of the candidates' VP. Then today his wife blurts out the secret that he had his choice of VP or Secretary of State.

I dont care too much for the racial angle of Obama's presidency
but some ppl voted for Obama because they were voting AGAINST McCain.

McCain is too pro-war and old enough to realistically die in office.
Palin may have been a MILF, but she is an idiot, and Alaska, as the largest and most rural state in the USA is not sufficient training/experience.

If Palin were prez, I give Vladimir Putin ~6 months to conquer the US.
We will all be his prisoners in Vodka and Russian Teen-pr0n website operations.

Secret Service best be out in full force and keep Obama safe in a bulletproof plexiglass caboose like former Pope John Paul's. There are many crazy racist psycho mofos that would try to repeat J.E.Ray/MLK or Oswald/JFK or Hinkley/Reagan or Booth/Lincoln if you know what I mean...
