Barack Obama: American Color

Barack Hussein Obama II (pronounced /bəˈrɑːk hʊˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the President-elect of the United States of America, and the first African American to be elected President of the United States. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 3, 2005, until his resignation on November 16, 2008, following his election to the presidency. His term of office as President of the United States is scheduled to begin after he is sworn in as the forty-fourth President of the United States at noon EST (17:00 UTC) on January 20, 2009, in an inaugural ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.

Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He worked as a community organizer, and practiced as a civil rights attorney in Chicago before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, Obama was elected to the Senate in November 2004. Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, Obama helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During the 110th Congress, he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for U.S. military personnel returning from combat assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

ok...i couldve cared less who won, but it seems that blacks are now targeting whites about racism more than ever. "i damn sure didnt vote for McCain." ur telling me that isnt racist against whites? i beleive it is. U bring up the slavery shit, that is over now, let it go...! Blacks can now say all kinds of stuff about whites and obama's being president, and i guess they expect us to not get pissed off. but the damn moment we even say a word about obama they get defensive and pissed off.

My not voting for McCain would indeed be racist IF it was based on the color of his skin, but considering it was based on a disagreement with his V.P. choice & an inconsistent campaign message your comment is almost as foolishly dangerous as your for referral to America's savage history as "Slavery Shit" But then again, that statement clearly illustrates your perspective & the depth of your character. So with that said, thank u for your comment & thank u for visiting GurlTalkkTV.

I am quite disappointed that you chose not to partake in the voting process. You speak of wanting an enduring sense of change or progress yet you did not exercise your civic right in what is likely to be the most significant election in your lifetime. You also state being more motivated by voting for a President of color the second/third time around as opposed to the first. In my opinion, this is completely illogical.

[DayBKTV]

your reasons for not voting didn't make any sense to me at all .... you can not get to a second black president without electing the first

[ACORNSUCKS]

I couldn't get thru two minutes kid..........you're putting me to sleep. Get to your point, if you have one.

the president has pretty much said hes going to destroy the nation:

you guys support darwinism, yet preach welfare

you fags say no more money for rich white men, then pass BIGGEST BAILOUT TO RICH WHITEMENT

you homos say MORE BIPARTISANSHIP, yet the nignog pres said "i wont enforce borders because the republicans wont accept amnesty"

his duty is to defend US, but he refuses to. he is a hypocrite. dont ask me, ask the poeple who voted for him. MORE TROOPS WERE SENT INTO IRAQ TODAY!

[JawsJaws]

PHUCK BARACK OBAMA. He sucks. Hes killing America faster than any terrorist could do.

[zach34932]

@PatriotWatchUSA or just himself, he passed that stupid health care plan which caused SO many problems and we cant even afford it, and really, the only people benefiting from it are people living on welfare.

[PatriotWatchUSA]

Most of the problems on his desk are from his own party........Fannie & Freddie

[PatriotWatchUSA]

Still happy about this jerk off
