Barack Makes His-tory With His Two Dads

61. Tom, you're just as ignorant as Tess. Do you realize there are millions of Christians in other countries who have the name "Hussein"? Yes, Muslims use the name frequently, and that is how we generally associate it because of Sadam Hussein, but it is totally ignorant to think that because Barack Obama has that name that it must "mean" something.

Additionally, Tom, the name Barack is AFRICAN (means "blessed") and comes from Hebrew originally. The name Obama is also African and predates Islam in origin.

And regardless of any of that, Obama himself is Christian, not Muslim, so it is completely irrelevant

You need to educate yourself just like Tess does.

64. By the way, I'm referring to Terry Moran in my last post, in the event that it's not clear.

67. have a very, and I mean a very modest living so I am far from being rich, but I count myself lucky that I am not "poor".

When I first came to this country I took the bus in South Central LA where being of Hispanic decent I was not welcomed in a mostly black population. Nonetheless, I took the risk and rode the bus to LA City College and took classes at night. I worked odd jobs and I was able to buy my first used car. All the while, I continued to go to school. Back then I guess you could say that I was poor because I scraped and usually placed pennies into the bus to have enough for my ride. I never sought financial aid and I never lied to get free books or any of that sort. I paid for everything myself with my odd jobs. I never used my money to get my hair and nails done what little money I made, I made sure to pay for my college fees.

Don't give me that bull$hit that poor people stay poor because if poor people would plan their lives accordingly they could succeed and make something of themselves. I waited till I was 32 years old to give birth to my first child because I had studied, worked and was lucky enough to marry and when was pregnant I paid off all my debts so that I could be a stay at home mom.

I came here from another country and I never took anything for granted and I was not going to sit on my ass and blame the governement for what went wrong in my life. Most of you who are born here take it for granted and therefore you do not strive to make anything of yourselves.

In my opinion, it's bull$hit that you say this because this is America and this is the greatest country on earth where if you strive to work hard, are dedicated enough and have ambition and pride --- anything can happen!!

First off sweetie I have a masters degree in elementary education so that means I am a middle class black woman supporting herself with no children, own home and car so I dont depend on the government for a damn thing. I recieved full scholarships for my schooling because I was 4.0 gpa student so dont go assuming before you know the facts dear. Now true enough there are lazy people out here and those who depend on the system to live but that person is not me ok. But when it all boils down dear it is the poor and the middle class who is affected the most by this strain of an economy and ridiculous gas prices. I am a proud Barack supporter and I dont give a damn whose mad at it because everyone on here is entitled to their own opinion. I am for change no matter what his name is whether he is black, white orange or gray if something can be done why not support change for your family and a better future.

68. HILARIOUS!!!! I knew there was something about Obama that seemed off - now we know why...his parents are both really dudes. Also, what is it about Kansas that just keeps churning out the freaks? Not that his mom "a white man" is a freak, but maybe she is.

72. #53 said: "Now if Sarah were a liberal, she would've ended her own pregnancy when she found the child had Down Syndrome, and she would've taken her daughter to get an abortion as well."

WTF?! You automatically think all liberals have abortions and force their children to get abortions?! I weep for the future of this country when it comes to ignorant people like you.

74. Uh, abortion is legal because for some women it's the right choice (dem & gop alike). Women do not need politicians or overbearing mothers telling us what to do with our bodies. Funny, republicans are the first to withhold $$ for illegals who keep having babies, but are the last to support a woman's right to decide not to have more babies they can't take care of. Democrats just say whatever they need to to get elected without an real moral compass. Adoption isn't for everyone - I certainly wouldn't want one of my brood running around the world with some potentially crazy yahoos (like the mccains, or jolie-pitts, or my in-laws). Hey teenagers, the politicians say we can can get drunk, make babies and shoot guns...the best part is that no one can say anything because we're off limits!!! Let's drink some Captain Morgan, have unprotected sex and post it all to our my space pages!!! Woo hoo!! Party!!!

Wait until the Presidential Debates to hear what this "change" will be.

It's SOOOO easy to talk the talk

How is Obama going to get fuel costs down?
Get us out of Iraq?
Turn the ecomomy around??(BTW the economy goes in cycles Up......Down....etc..)

You CAN'T just look into the Camera and say "change"
