Tavis Smiley: We are a better nation

[Pomiferous]

What a spoon fest -----

[rrhynes]

Dumb nigggers. Tavis is all about self-promotion and pro-nigger agendas. He doesn't realize Detroit , the great Black American experiment, has failed.

[sagequan]

Heal the sick....indeed..

[doglin82]

i think it is wrong to compare Mendela with Obama. what has Obama done substantially done before becoming the president? not a whole lot. he has been a media darling..

[jaqueesha]

he didnt even cry. lies!

[SingstaMay]

i love TAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Satchel334]

Tavis and Obama rock!

[Beroean30]

I think Obama's background actually helped him. ethnicity or race doesnt have to be negative but can be a compliment

[xxdonaldqxx]

aaarrrggg puke!

[rutgerus9]

no, why would you say that? i'm saying a lot of people are descended from charlemagne. charlemagne had at least 20 children, and if each of these children had 2 or 3 children and so forth down the generations for 1000 years, do the math- that would result in millions of possible descendents.

[TheMORALE]

He had 3 Sons, and Five Daughters but all that is filler. You have to be a descendant of he, and Edward II, and share blood with Elizabeth. You cannot ascend to the Presidency without being a Cousin of Elizabeth at least 9 times removed. The only Man to ever pull it off was silenced in Dallas when he challenged the phony Federal Reserve System thats robbing us all blind.

charlemagne had 20 children.

[rutgerus9]

millions of americans are descended from charlemagne or edward ii...

[DaHonestAbe]

Youre dealing with alot of white people. LOL! Tom Brokaw kills me!!!!

[fingerbang666]

It's called a representative republic for a reason. Americans are too busy to delve into the finer points of politics, which is why there are elected officials to represent the will of the people. A pure democracy is what you are clamoring for. There must be a reason why our system is not set up that way, and to not have it doesn't mean we are a de facto dictatorship or fascist regime.

[fingerbang666]

Obama wasn't just any black candidate, he was THE candidate and earned the presidency outright. He torn down the Clinton machine, ran a stellar campaign, had a presidential feel to him from day 1. All of his viewpoints passed political muster, and he fielded his critics masterfully. McCain was out of his depth and didn't have a chance. End result: Barack Obama, President Elect of the United States. If you think you've seen tears now, imagine the inauguration!

[lischeyboy615]

Well put! Race was not the factor of this presidential race, actually it may have hurt Obama, but he was able to make people understand that he is here to make this country and world a better place.

[TheMORALE]

Your clueless!!! Zbrignew Brezinski, and Henry Kissinger support Barack Obama because he upholds the Zionist agenda. Kissinger is the same Devil who wrote Global 2000 in the 70's which clearly stated that the Planet needed to do a Population Control Measure of poor and starving Nations so they could keep raping them for resources!!!

I'm praying for protection for the Obama family,

guidance for the president and his administration, and for Mr. Smiley's soul.

[wetalloy]

well said

[froth2]

Wow. Still struggling to get my mind around it all.. I am so blown away..Such an enormous paradigm shift. Can't stop crying...this victory is so palpable its physical..TY Obama for your courage and your intelligence..And thank you America..particularly white America..for yours as well.

[koikoiboi]

Me too, i cried for 2 hours last night watching this - and i don't usually cry for anything. Well done America - now just don't let bush do anything else stupid before January!
