Obama and veep choice to campaign on Saturday - Yahoo! News


Looks like your pick is still in the mix Cashmoney.

Ok so by now everyone knows Biden is the VP choice for Obama,any thoughts?

Great pick

He voted for the war in Iraq

He has been in Washington for 35 years

He has two failed presidential attempts to his name

This pick does not represent change!

Barack "Dude where's my coke" Obama is not a tom.

Barack "raised by a white woman" Obama is far worse than a tom. A tom can only do so much damage. And calling him a tom implies that he's black. I don't know if there's a term strong enough to describe this non-black man that went around the states calling every living black man garbage.

Above all, he's made one thing very clear, he is going to carry the misery and destruction torch of white people. He does not give a damn about the interests of black America, blacks all over the world, and he doesn't give a damn about the interests of non-Jew middle or average America.

No offense dude when I say this, but what president ever has given a care about us whether they got our vote or not?

No offense dude, but this thread is about Barack Obama, what he has to say, how he presents himself, and his record not other candidates or presidents.

What are the 'interests of black America'? Help me out with this. List the top three.

He WAS raised by a white woman. Daddy split. Ninety percent of Afro-Germans were raised by white women. They love their mothers, and their sisters. They also have a strong black movement (ISD Online • Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland afrolink - portal for black communication) . So maybe, it's possible to love your white mother and still be conscious. Feel free to communicate with the Afro-Germans on their forum boad about this. They are very informed. Good folks.

"EVERY living black man" Really?

What are the criterias to be 'black'?

Obama lives in a black neighborhood, married a black woman, is faithfully raising two black daughters, turned down a corporate job offer to work with poor black people.

Maybe that's not enough to make him a good president...but...not a black man?

What do 'real' black men do?

I was at a poetry reading recently, in Philly, where Will Smith (dedicated father of two black children and husband to Jada, his 'princes" and his "princess") was called a Tom...and Easy E (6 children by 5 different women) was called one of the fallen 'black revolutionaries'.

So....what are "our interests"?

A pretty average pick. Nothing earth-shattering, but it doesn't do any damage.

Right. . .how does he present himself? When you see him with Michelle Obama and his two "Black" daughters, what do you see?

I have been going to his supposedly "racist" churches here on the Southside of Chicago.

I recently went to St. Sabina, the church home of the latest Obama connected pastor who has been branded a racist, Father Pflegler.

And entering the church, I was awestruck by this gigantic image of the Christ.

Which I again go back to how has any presidential candidate every acted towards us? Obama can't be considered a beacon of AA light.

Obama can only be considered the ultimate dream of MLK, not X. Obama has been the poster child of integration. He carries himself as an AA wanting full integration and by this he has shunned the typical AA groups.

To be honest with you, I see him as JUST another politician. The amazing factor is that we all want to project our image of someone fighting for us on him. We in Memphis learned our lesson with Harold Ford Jr. I guess the rest of AA has to learn what we learned the hard way.......

Yes it is nice to see an AA in an office, but first and foremost, he is still a politician first and foremost.
