I came out of lurking mode to say that perhaps it is so that MANY Black voters were for Obama because of race, but we have to consider the whole picture.

We who are White have no idea of the feeling of hearing that "you can be anything...you can accomplish anything in America," but to not feel it is so because of your race.

Tuesday night I heard once again the speech given by the late Barbara Jordon, Congresswoman from TX., where she said that when she was younger and read the words "We the people," she never thought it included her. So yes, many thought it could not be possible in their lifetime.

And though I was not an Obama supporter, had I been Black I would have probably voted for him strictly for that reason.

However, it should be noted that in a poll taken in my home state, something like 61% of the White voters voted for Obama.

It wasn't just a 'Black thing'...now back to lurking.

for a good portion of America, it says they are looking for a government teet to suck on like a pack of puppies.

Please don't forget the democratic House. The democrats are real quick to blame Bush for something the Democrats caused in regards to the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The Repulicans wanted oversight on them and the Democrats had a fit. Now look where we are because of them!

Not disputing anything you have to say here, as it is all true. However, even so, they will have to live with their choice. Voting race over content may come up and bite them. Even so, many would still probably vote for him again. Look at the mayor of New Orleans.

Re: What Does This Election Say About America?

I can see how people are going to be decieved by the anti christ now.

Even some reporters said they get chills when they are around Obama.

theygovernment is setting it up for this and playing with peoples' emotion and money.

If you look at it only through economics and emotions, you will miss the bigger picture of what's really at play
