Who would have thought even 10 years ago, much less 20 or 40 that a "minority" of ANY kind could be elected to the highest office in the land. No, I didn't vote for him. But that choice had nothing to do with race. I believe (and yes, pray) that he will be a GREAT president!<BR/><BR/>(By the way, I think ol' Abe said "FOUR score," not "for score." Just keepin' you honest!:)<BR/><BR/>JohnDuke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-92044618441564456112008-11-06T08:33:00.000-08:002008-11-06T08:33:00.000-08:00Sandee,I am ready to give the man a chance.

Who knows?<BR/><BR/>We'll see....<BR/><BR/>The rest of us will just have to press on to a greater nation.<BR/><BR/>I heard one young black man being interviewed on TV and he was cognizant of the need for accountability among us all. "No longer will a young black man be able to say, 'I'm this way because I didn't know my father.' Obama didn't have a father in his life either." Eloquently stated, young man, eloquently stated.<BR/><BR/>Now to get on with bringing this country together.<BR/><BR/>Love you guys/gals.Jack K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-79869111854441161032008-11-06T04:55:00.000-08:002008-11-06T04:55:00.000-08:00I feel the reason Obama got over was the fact he w...I feel the reason Obama got over was the fact he was running for President of the United States and not president of his race. <BR/><BR/>I was conducting some business yesterday in a predominately black area of town, and the feeling I got was one of pride and not one of vindiction.<BR/><BR/>Those of us that know the power of prayer will now have the job of lifting up our next commander in chief to the Lord.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10293045.post-53961353353214181672008-11-06T01:16:00.000-08:002008-11-06T01:16:00.000-08:00Eh...the Right has a few morons on the fringes, an...Eh...the Right has a few morons on the fringes, and so does the Left.
