Looking back in our history.
Why Obama?
Why not some of the other "black" candidates?
And Bill Clinton designated as the "first black president?"
Jesse Jackson ran on the demo ticket, why not him?
My man Keyes ran on the repub ticket, why not him?
WHY OBAMA?
Any logical reason to all this?

He is "new school". The Great One is a master campaigner and benefitted from the regrettable bush administration and an economic free-fall just before election. Jackson was an old-school civil-rights figure with no ability to garner broad appeal. Keyes became a first class joke before leaving the GOP.
No magic to it.

Looking at recent events in this country, just about any Democrat with half a brain could have beat McCain.
Why does there need to be a mystery to this? Why does it have to be a "black" question?

Denial and anger are part of the grieving process. The Bush-haters went through it and now the Obama-haters are experiencing it.

I agree almost any DEM could have won, but probably not in the way Obama won which was a EV landslide.
I was not old enough to vote for other "BLACK" candidates HAHAHAHA! Lawd you people kill me. I wouldn't have voted for them when they ran though, just not what I would be looking for in a President. But, Obama didn't run as a Half White/ Half Black Candidate. The reason he won is because he ran as an American who had a heart for the American people and wanted to really work on the things affecting All Americans. I'm Pro-Life and Anti-Gay Marriage, but I can handle those things outside of the office of the President. I have power within the office of the President to change healthcare, the economy, jobs, our foreign policy, education etc..
I think many folks started to think like this and decided to vote for someone who could help their pocket books and protect this nation. And the other very important issues to us we realized that those things can be handled on a state level too (e.g. Yes on Prop 8 in CALIFORNIA) and through our personal acitivites (I am an ABSTINENCE mentor/counselor).

Yea so true. I think the whole world grieved at the re-election of Bush though. I have alot of friends over seas and they expressed their feelings on our election of Bush.
Folks fail to realize that Americans aren't the only people dying in this war. Our allies are sending their brothers, daughters, fathers, mothers, and loved ones to war too and paying the price in blood. They really want this to all be over.

Understood. But shouldn't there be some limits to this? Why inject race into this? Apart from their similar color, Obama, Jackson & Keyes are radically different and these times are radically different.

Exactly, it's not color, but policy.
He ran against "four-more years" of Bush.
But, now we're getting a white-house being
prepared for "four-more years" of Clinton.
That's "CHANGE" alright..................LOL.

We're not talking about the same thing. I was responding to Cow's comment about a time when people thought that all blacks look alike and think alike. That perhaps there are those who still think so. A thread started with racial comparisons might lead to this conclusion.
I understand the need to vent but there's only trouble down that road...

McCain was not Geaorge Bush but Obama with the media's help painted him that way.
Obama did not win. McCain lost. He lost because he was much more like Obama than any other republican candidate. He lost because he was middle of the road wishy washy "neo-con" new republican that forgot that conservatism wins elections, esspecially against a liberal.
McCain lost because Obama was the first nominated black candidate in our nation's history and many thought a great reason to vote for him.
Obama benefited greatly from the irrational hatred of Bush that the media has fostered for the last 7.5 years.
Obama promised change.
Like it or not this nation likes abortion. Obama was elected because people like abortion.
Most people think homosexuality is wrong. However, with the media's influence and liberal politicians, it is becoming not only more accepted, its now popular to promote it. Obama was elected because people feel gays are a minority under persecution.
For the first time in our nation's history less than half of us claim to be protestants. Face it. Christianity is waning in our country. As it did in eurpoe, as we become more and more socialist, we will be less and less christian. Obama was elected because he is not a christian.
I am not sure any of us really know Obama...but...we will.

Probably because he was a young fresh face, very motivated to "loftier positions," coached in Saul Alinsky methodology, well spoken, an attractive person, and owed his soul to the Chicago political machine.

I am too. I am happy Obama won. He will now define your ideology to our country.
I pray he does a good job of this. Its been my position for years what this country needs is a liberal in office.....to finally crush the idea that liberalism is a viable political ideology.

Oh, it has nothing to do with my ideology. Heck, I didn't even vote for Obama.
It's just that I love seeing arrogant, blustering righties finally eat crow in the typical sore-loser, sour-grapes fashion in which their grumbling ideology leads them.

Well, that's just silly. Of course liberalism is a viable political ideology; tha's why it has made such in-roads into American politics. But, like any ideology, it doesn't stand well alone. I just hope that Obama doesn't make mistake #umpteen that President Beerbong did for the last eight years by attempting to unilaterally stack the deck in Washington.
But he probably will.
I don't care as long as I can gloat.
Again, I have awoken so happy!
