Amy - forget it! MY OPINION is indicative of the type of people that just see, hear, and believe what they want, so it fits into the ideal they have in their minds. Once another side, or any complete factual evidence is presented, it causes an emotional upheaval that they can’t reconcile, because in doing so would involve admitting they could be wrong or misled.

Amy, yes you are right he was named after his father, and his name was Barack… Futher more you people keep insisting that his name is HUESSIN which it’s not….the name Barack (Barry) Steven Obama.

There is an exremely high percentage of blacks voting for b.o., as opposed to the percentage of whites voting for McCain. I think it’s like 95% to 62% accordingly. The hilarious part is that they deny voting because of race. THEY ARE SO voting by race, and have the audacity to say the white voters are voting against a (partially) black candidate. Just look at the percentages (They may have even increased since I last saw the figures)

My Opinion - you’re kidding right? Pleeeeeease tell me that you do know Obama’s full name! It’s Barack Hussein Obama II. He was only kidding at that “roast” about his middle name being “Steve.” That’s why the networks were talking about it. Here’s how to varify it - simply google “Obama birth certificate.” I’m looking at it right now. He was named after his father.

Boy oh boy…

WHAT A SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RACIST WHY. Why dose it all have to be about racist? It needs to be our COUNTRY.Yes I am truely sad that Colin Powell went for OBAMA I had lots more respect for him I thought he stood for our Country more, but it looks like he will support such a man that dose not take our country, one who will not even pleadge to our flag that is really sad.OBAMA is not for our NATION and how people can say he is needs to truly do some soul searching,because our flags stands for freedom that our fore fathers have fought for us. SO STAND TALL AND VOTE FOR THE TRUE AMERCAIN THAT STANDS FOR OUR FLAG AND COUNTRY. GOD BLESS TO ALL WHO VOTE FOR A TRUE MAN.

My goodness! I really like Colin Powell but do not agree on his endorsement of Obama. I am in stuck in awe on this. Is it racism? Who knows? However Colin Powell IS NOT a freeloader and DOES NOT need a job! Maybe he should have kept his endorsement to himself. I much rather would’ve like to have seen him on the Republican ticket as the Presidential Candidate than who we have but his endorsement has forced me to change my mind back to a Republican vote. It’s not that I don’t like Obama it’s that I DON’T like Obama’s wife. If anyone has a bit of racism in them, it would be her and her pushing him to being a racist.

You people, some of you are really ignorant and racists. God created us all. White people who are racists could easily be born black. Do not judge people by color, judge by their actions. I am WHITE, and I respect all colors. Its not a fault of black people that they are born like this. Stop being mean to each other, focus in what your values are, and choose the candidate that suits you and your family. Time along will show who will be the president. And in regards to Obama, people tend to forget, that this man was raised 99% by a white family, and you all know that, but some white people our of jealousy cant beleive that this very well-educated, smartest, driven man with a tan can be a president. Yes, he can be and he is almost there.!!!!

Take care, and the best.

truth teller… I don’t have to deflect your character as a RACIST, you just proved that you are, by wondering what color i am. I can tell by your post you must be white with your derogatory comments.

Colleen…. BARACK’S name is BARACK (BARRY) STEVEN OBAMA watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, or any other news channell they will inform you.

My opinion…thank you for making me laugh harder than I have all week…your not even knowing Obama’s name is classic….hilarious…

I do care who Colin endorces and I’m completely disappointed in him. I can’t believe he would sell out like this. I am convinced that this “endorcement” it a political move because he needs a job. I would bank on it - If Obama wins, Colin will be apart of his administration.

“my opinion” you’re hilarious! This is a forum ABOUT Colin Powell and his endorsement of Barack Huesein Obama? What the heck do you mean I keep “talking about Obama”? Duh. And the more you respond to my posts, the more obvious it becomes that you (black or not) are indeed the RACIST! Racism isn’t just for white folks ya know? And you’re trying to deflect my own character into some sort of conformist view you have about what a “racist” is? Long story short, you are defining the word “racist” with each response.

Who cares about what Colin Powell thinks or who he endorses? Its obvious why he endorses Obama, lets not kid ourselves!! I’m really disappointed in Powell, turning his back on his own party… frankly this was not a surprise!! SHAME ON YOU COLIN, HOW OBVIOUS!!!! and his reasons for choosing Obama, needless to say are so contrived……..

You are eager for the last post I see it’s people like you that has this world so corrupt and crazy, I don’t give a RATS A** about who you vote for … you are the one that keeps posting on here things about OBAMA. I don’t think you have the right to influence others about who they should vote for. If you aren’t a RACIST you sure as he11 act like one. I DON’T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT WHO YOU LIKE THAT’S A DIFFERENT SUBJECT.

I beg to differ “my opinion”.. I never JUDGED you what-so-ever! However you did IN FACT judge me. Calling me a “racist” doesn’t help your cause what-so-ever. And I have no difficulty in treating anyone equal, by your tone, you obviously do. Simply stop JUDGING others, and you cannot be judged. LOL. you say to “HAVE” to treat everyone the same? Sorry, but that sounds like it is part of your job, and not part of your humanity or career. My vote shouldn’t concern you either. I make informed decisions, you go with popular vote. Understood. In short stop pretending to know me as well, and stop calling someone “racist” simply because they don’t want Barack Huesein Obama as their President!! (cheap shot)

truth teller… it doesn’t matter what color I am you can’t judge me. I do believe God created man equal, I don’t have to toss the race card due to my advantage my education is to my advantage…. I am a X-ray tech, so my job speaks for itself. I have to treat everyone the same no matter what color they are… something I know you have difficult during…. Research your facts about judging a person before you start assuming what you have no idea about. I vote for who I want and it doesn’t concerns you.

The economy for Obama is a distraction more than an issue. The more he talks about the “issues” the less he has to say about his radical past? We have known John McCain for Twenty-Six years, the name Barack Huesein Obama was only familiar within this year? The people of this country have every right to know all about this mans character, values, origins, beliefs, intent, and friends! I’m also angry, that this seems to be brushed under a rug by the media as a non-issue! The real question is Why doesn’t Obama want to talk about his past? Check out his list of friends and neighbors, and you’ll know exactly why.

My Opinion.. You toss the race card around like it works to your advantage? Obviously you are black, but apparently it is beyond any belief that black people can ALSO be racist? Barack Huessein Obama is RACIST. Perhaps you yourself should look past the skin color and do a bit of homework regarding your choice for a leader of this country? I don’t buy the “hype” surrounding anyone, I like to research, do some reading, investigating of the people that want to lead the nation I live in.

truth teller… As for John McShame he is to old to be the leader for this country. He has a very bad temper, and he doesn’t know how to relate to the real issue such as this economy. You find more white people critizing and talking bad about blacks … most of you can’t get past Barack’s skin color to vote him in the WHITE HOUSE.
