Yes, electing Obama will be an uphill battle, but will you stand with him??

[ecstatic]

Yes, racism still exists... but Americans have stood up before, and I believe they can and will do it again.

"My story is not possible, except in the United States of America. I could not be here were it not for the fact that somebody, somewhere stood up for me. And Because one person stood up, a few more stood up. Then a thousand stood up, and then a million stood up. That's why Hillary Clinton can run for President. That's why I can run for President.

Because somebody stood up.

And the question now is: Will the Democratic Party stand up for the next generation? That's my Patriotism. That is why I'm running for President. Those are my values. Those are your values. That's what we're fighting for in this election, and if you'll stand with me, if you will vote for me then I promise you, we will not just win this nomination, we will win this general election, and you and I together will change the country and change the world. God bless you. God bless America." - Barack Obama, Friday night.

1. I meant what I said and I said what I meant (last summer)

I'll back the legitimate Dem nominee one thousand per cent!

:patriot:

12. After the Obama smear campaign and "just promises" approach - he has my vote & nothing else

[DJ13]

2. Count me in!

[maddiejoan]

3. I don't know

depends on his tone

[DMorgan]

10. You like McCain's "tone" and Bush's "tone" better?

You really have Bush term 3 or Obama..........

Or maybe you're just kidding... "tone" matters to you?

[DMorgan]

16. What about the "tone" of the American people?

Or are you willing to "throw them under the bus" for another 4 years with McCain?

[ecstatic]

27. His tone is sincere

unlike Hillary!

[TahitiNut]

35. His skin tone?

:eyes:

[Downtown Hound]

4. I'd be honored. n/t

[grasswire]

5. your video clip doesn't help convince people

...to come together. Just sayin'.

[ecstatic]

26. The gesture of brushing the haters off

is offensive to you? Why?

[AZBlue]

6. All the way!!!!!!

[smalll]

7. Why do we even NEED a goddamn "uphill battle" to elect the Idol of the Obamatrons?

This is supposed to be the Democrats' year! Obama and Hillary are running on virtually identical moderate-moderate-liberal platforms. LET'S JUST WIN! I'll be pissed off no end to have to fight some useless (and likely losing) "uphill battle" just to stroke the inclinations and sensibilities of a bunch of latte liberals who want to martyr themselves on an unelectable half-Kenyan because they think it will somehow make Da Almighty Yoof love them.

(On Edit: if anyone takes exception to the tone of my post, just know that the OP set it, with his little moving-picture of the strange new god.)

[cali]

8. could you try and fit more cliches into your next post?

I think you may have misrd a couple. And just a wee bit more ugly? Obama isn't half-Kenyan. He's a American citizen obviously- no matter what his father was. And I, for one, think he'll be easier to elect than Hapless Hillary.

[smalll]

15. That would be "try to fit more cliches" not "try and." It's an idiom, dear. /nt

[kmsarvis]

31. OBNOXIOUS!!!!!!!!

[Forkboy]

13. Put down the Wild Turkey and the crack pipe.

[madrchsod]

21. latte liberals? you are really funny ... really.... you are

but i`m an unemployed ex-union white blue collar worker who drinks gin and cranberry juice and red bull and vodka. if i drink beer it`s point beer from wisconsin...god ? nah he`s no god he`s just a guy with an idea that maybe if enough people say it`s wrong then maybe we can make it right..

if we can do half of what we set out to do that`s better than nothing and will give us the courage to get the rest..you do`t have to worry because if we succeed everyone to will enjoy the fruits of our labor...even you if you like.

[ecstatic]

24. whoa! The venom in your post is on a level I haven't seen, even here

Unbelievable. I guess we can write you off as part of the racist 20% :eyes:

[kmsarvis]

30. How obnoxious !!!!

[barack the house]

9. Yep he's better than pepesi mx.

[bain_sidhe]

11. To the greatest with you

Just because we don't have enough positivity around here.

Ok, the "uphill battle" part may not seem all that positive... but it's somewhat realistic. Yes, there are racists in this country. But that doesn't mean we have to bow down to racism.

Oh, and, of course I'll be there!

(And for the other side, yes, there are sexists in this country too. But if Hillary should win the nomination, I'll be there too!)

[BlueIdaho]

14. Shoulder to Shoulder - hell yes!

[Triana]

17. YES I will! n/t

[chyjo]

18. My Love

for Senator Obama is such that I would never ever speak ill of him.

[Beausoir]

19. No. He hired an ex-gay clown to pander to his bigot base. And...

he needs some help with that dandruff.

A little Selsun Blue would help him with the flakes.

[ecstatic]

28. He's brushing the haters (you) off... LOL

has nothing to do with dandruff, but I wouldn't expect you to get it.

HRC attended a homophobic church for many years.

[madrchsod]

20. of course !! it`s my last chance to see change in this country

i do`t have another 40 years to wait for another candidate like barack...it`s his time

[cliffordu]

22. Yep.

[TheDonkey]

23. love the graphic. I will STAND UP

[FrenchieCat]

25. I'm standing with Obama, shoulder to shoulder.......

I have no where else to stand, because there is no other choice for me! :patriot:

We will see what this country is about. Now's the time. Now's the test to answer this.

[bhikkhu]

29. Absolutely, and I just tucked in a part of the "next generation".

Being in Oregon we vote by mail - my 12 year old daughter took the ballot from me and filled in the oval for "Barack Obama". I was so proud, and I hope that is one of her best memories...

[Califooyah Operative]

32. Absolutely. nt

33. It's not enough just to stand outside the fire

34. A country music video? This better be good!!!

LOL

[BklynChick]

36. that was such a great ending, and of course I'm standing with him until the bitter end until he's

President Barack Obama.

[cjsmom]

37. No.

You can call everyone who doesn't choose to vote for Obama racists if you want. The accusation doesn't make it true. You can call me a racist if you want, I no longer care. I will not vote for him. I do want to thank the Obama supporters here for solidifying my stance. I would rather leave the Democratic party entirely than be a part of this ridiculous high school popularity contest. You make me ashamed to be called a democrat at all.

[newmajority]

39. Welcome back!

Breakfast pizza, anyone?

[ecstatic]

43. What specific part of my post is inspiring such bitter responses

from certain Hillbots? I really want to know... is it the animated picture that bothers you so? Or the youtube clip of a truly inspiring leader? What?

[Toucano]

38. Hell yes!

And it will take everyone working together to overcome the Neanderthal vote.

[Undercurrent]

40. Oh Yes!

This ole white woman is standing by Obama!

[stevietheman]

41. Obama has the activists on his side... and I've never seen this much fight...

in a supporter base as Obama has.

It won't just be Obama winning in November. It will be everyone who fights for his election. And, of course, the American People.

[TragedyandHope]
