But after the 20th of January we all are going to be saved. Barack promised us all that when he was elected we would all be able to stop paying for our houses and cars because the government would take care of us all.
Doesn't anyone remember all of that?

Yes I recall it but like then I still do not believe it. I think he meant he is going to create make belief jobs with good pay for all. So you can live in candy land.

| Gay bishop gets role at Obama inauguration event By Jason Szep - Mon Jan 12 BOSTON (Reuters) - An openly gay bishop will deliver a prayer for President-elect Barack Obama in an inauguration event on Sunday that could help defuse controversy over an anti-gay pastor who will give the main invocation. New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, at the center of the Anglican church's global battle over homosexuality, will speak on Sunday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963. "I'm just overwhelmed and so humbled by this invitation," Robinson said in a telephone interview. Many Democratic Party activists and gay rights advocates who supported Obama sharply criticized his choice of Rick Warren, an evangelical pastor, to give the invocation when the next president takes office on January 20, saying it undermined the Democrat's vows of inclusiveness. Robinson has called the choice of Warren a slap in the face. But he said on Monday he did not believe Obama invited him in response to the Warren criticism but his prayer would help ease concerns among gay and lesbians. He said he believed the invitation, which came about two weeks ago, was made because he endorsed Obama in May last year. The two also met during the presidential primary. "But this will certainly not go unnoticed in the gay and lesbian community," he said. "It's important for the people to feel represented." Warren, pastor of a megachurch in southern California, is known for campaigning against poverty and disease, but he also advocated California Proposition 8, the state gay marriage ban passed by voters in November. Obama opposed California's ban on gay marriage. He generally has said he supports equal rights under the law for same-sex couples. Some religious conservatives said the choice of Warren showed Obama was willing to reach out to them. Robinson said he advised Obama several times during his presidential campaign. "I was very early on taken with his anti-polarization message," he said. "So part of the invitation came out of the albeit brief relationship that we have had." The 77 million-member Anglican Communion, a global federation of national churches, has been in upheaval since 2003 when the Episcopal Church consecrated Robinson as the first bishop known to be in an openly homosexual relationship in more than four centuries of church history. |

I'm very interested to see if he can talk his way in and out of situations with the Middle East. Already the extremists are saying that he is a traitor to his true roots and he hasn't even taken office yet.

| WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama says he will appoint a team immediately after his inauguration Tuesday to address "on Day One" the crisis in Gaza and troubles across the Middle East. In a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY, Obama noted challenges in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as Gaza. "We've got to be active in all these areas in order for us to be successful in any of these areas," he said, adding that the diplomatic offensive could include special envoys. Ref. USAToday |

I think because of his skin color many think he will represent the interest of say 60 different ethnics rather then the one represented traditionally by a white person. Silly but true. He is damned no matter his choice in time he will prove himself buy feeding the hungry or fattening the pigs. Then we will know his true color.

In the US Obama is seen as a Black man, not mixed or anything else. In my country they will try to label him with some nick name, maybe in the UK he will be called, "half cast", but in the US I believe he is just Black. One drop blood system Discussed in the Culture Board. I doubt his skin color will have any impact anywhere, it's all about politics and the decisions he makes.

The only true color Obama has is black. When I look at him I see a black man I don't see mixed I see a black man. His talk don't fool me. He don't represent all of America. What is this place coming to.

I don't know him, so I cannot say that he has had this belief all along. However, through his dealings with the media on his campaign trail, he always presented himself as a black man. Personally, I think he even sees himself as a black man and nothing else. He does have a white mother, but since he was a kid he has been putting African-American on everything he fills out. Mulatto is a term that hasn't really caught on in the US, so you are either black, white, asian or hispanic. He will be viewed as the leader for all minority causes. Big role...lots of expectations!
However, as our president, he actually does represent us...each and everyone of us.
I didn't vote for him. However, come 1/20, I want him to succeed because we really need some help right now.
