  • obama is george bush's cousin. thats why he is the president, not the black vote. so it does not matter what we think. he's not here for us, he's here for white people and put here by white people.

  • the Idea the Military Industrial Complex / "Elites"/ CFR/ would allow a "Black Pres." to change their AGENDA is a Fantasy .

see all

  • Obama is not who we need as the leader of our country

    RON PAUL 2012

  • @Yahwehservant So how has Obama-Bush done you and us the last 2 years?

  • James David Manning is chief pastor at the ATLAH World Missionary Church on 123rd Street in New York City. ATLAH stands for All The Land Anointed Holy, which is God's name for Harlem.

  • We have to use what we have. Obama, that's President Obama is tired of the beat down from the racist whites and the crabs in the basket blacks. Try to work with him on issues pertaining to us and as soon as he is can do what God wants him to do it will be done. It is Finished. Let our only Role Model of Change get both his feet in before you join the kkk, Fox News, Sat. Night Live on the lynching.

    Little Tyrone, Ray-Ray, Boo have a role model since they don't have one at home!

  • I am happy Our PRESIDENT OBAMA is our Role Model. What else do we have? You can't do it or they will cut you down as soon as you open your mouth and say black...What else do we have? Rappers teaching Us it is ok to go jail and just sing, swaggin and call black women hoes! They do have a plan for him, but in the end, God has a plan for Him too. Give a nigga a chance...please Haters. Fox news lets him know that he is Black along with Saturday Night Live.

  • Oh and to add one more thing to what Mr. Ford said about being labeled traitors to the race; the same tactic was held on the other side. If you were white and objected, you were labeled as racist. Freedom doesn't have a color and niether does greed or opression. WE ALL MUST UNITE! Google:End the Fed - We The People Foundation - Restore The Republic and learn the history of how the world has been manipulated by the Banking and Corporate Sector.

  • I am so excited to see that the OLIGARCHY can not fool everyone! Mr. Ford sir, you bring truth to the table and I hope that all people, no matter the color, feed off of that. If we do, we will prosper by UNITING and fighting this most EVIL entitiy that are RESPONSIBLE for turning ALL Americans into slaves and also killing millions in needless wars. This evil has infiltrated every aspect of our government and our lives. REVOLUTION!!

  • TRUTH!!!
