Gwen Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 i've never seen it with any other. at our town's yearly christmas celebration ppl were selling obama t-shirts. i thought the same thing.... since when do we do this? Quote
skylercollins Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 It's important to remember, the no matter how bad Obama may do in office, even if he screws up the country worse than Bush (possible?), he will be judged favorably. Quote
KristofferUmfrey Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 It's important to remember, the no matter how bad Obama may do in office, even if he screws up the country worse than Bush (possible?), he will be judged favorably.Jim Carter already did screw it up worse then Bush every could have done. So, yeah, it's possible. And seeing as how King Barak I is the most liberal President since Carter, it's probable. Quote

For me, I usually will stand back and wait for the Spirit to tell me otherwise. Quote

Jenamarie Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 He's the first black president. If he was a Republican I'd expect the same thing. Even if he does screw up, I can see these as being huge collector's items in a few decades, because it IS a monumental moment in American presidential history. Quote
skylercollins Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 part black and part white.But his black part is blacker than your average black American, being a few hundred years removed from Africa. So... Quote
applepansy Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 · Hidden Hidden part black and part white.lol. . . there was an article about that. I'll try to look for it. I think its more part white, part arab and a small part black.Regardless of his politcal views. This election helped a group of people feel accepted in Ameria.
skylercollins Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Not really....That and there's no legacy of American slavery among his ancestors... Quote

Hemidakota Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 To all, I do respect Obama for his talents and creativity, and in no way discriminating against his ancestral origins. Simple fact that people should know. Quote
Jenamarie Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Okay, for those of you sticking to semantics... He's the first non-pasty-white president. How's that? Quote
jolee65 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Posted December 12, 2008 Well it cheapens him , im not a Obama fan and thats ok but it comes off cheap. Quote
skylercollins Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Okay, for those of you sticking to semantics... He's the first non-pasty-white president. How's that? Agreed . Quote

skylercollins Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Well it cheapens him , im not a Obama fan and thats ok but it comes off cheap.Being a politician cheapens him far more than our talk about his race will... Quote
checkerboy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Okay, for those of you sticking to semantics... He's the first non-pasty-white president. How's that? I don't know, you ever see Kennedy? He had a pretty good tan I think! Quote
Misshalfway Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Frankly, I care more about this presidents insides than his outsides. He has wanted to lead, and now he's got his chance. I, for one, am anxious to get on with it. Quote
