President Bush Welcomes Obamas to the White House

November 6th, 2008

Obama

President Bush welcomes the Obamas to the White House. President Bush on Wednesday hailed the election of Barack Obama as the next U.S. president as “a triumph of the American story” and acknowledged the significance of Obama’s rise to become the nation’s first Black president.  He said watching Obama walk through the doors of the White House “will be a stirring sight” but welcomed the first couple to visit prior to Obama’s January inauguration.  Obama’s election is “a testament to hard work, optimism and a faith in the enduring promise of our nation,” Bush said in a White House Rose Garden briefing on Wednesday. “No matter how they cast their ballots, all Americans can be proud of the history that was made yesterday.” Bush’s second term in the Oval Office will end when Obama is sworn in on Jan. 20.

I am earning my Master’s Degree at The Ohio State University and actually David, public assistance was established for white women and that is still the group today that utilizes it more!

“The numbers go like this: 61% of the population receiving welfare, listed as “means-tested cash assistance” by the Census Bureau, is identified as white, while only 33% is identified as black.”
~Found on Time Magazines Website…look for yourself! (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,974473,00.html)

So actually the White House is finally out of Section 8! Now Obama can come in and correct the mistakes previously made and get the US out of the economic trouble it’s in! Dang, it feels good to be educated, David you should try it some time!

Jarnai:
Since Obama was raised by his White grandmother (his White mother’s mother) in Hawaii, I doubt he is a huge fan of red beans, neck bones, grits, etc. God, if there even is one, had nothing to do with this…it happened because of the millions of votes by White people in our country (Blacks only make up about 20% of the votes).

From the people of the Bahama Islands I want to say congratulation to President-elect Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for making history not only for the United State of America, but for the world. November 4th 08 will always be remember ,because history was made. May God continue to bless the Obamas and the Bidens on a job well done.

Finally some true grace & a class act will walk thru the
doors of the white house. Bush and Mcain have no choice
but to say something possitive about Obama after all the
negativity for so long them two endorsed.



Nemisis Said on

Surely some of the 43 other presidents of the U.S. had grace and class!! Don’t get me wrong though The Obama’s are definetely classy people….

Lets go ahead and disperse some of the major lies that has been taught as truth in this country. section 8 aint a bunch of black folks getting money for nothing and not working. Its white folks. The HARD WORKING AMERICANS are not just the white people portrayed by the Republician Party it is always minorities who never get what they deserve for their hard labor. African Americans haven’t contributed anything to this countries history. It is funny that before we had a country that it was A BLACK MAN TO FIRST DIE FOR THE IDEAOLOGY OF THE UNITED STATES in the shot heard around the world. That were ignorant and need affrimative action to be given something. First off some of the smartest people in this country were african americans. For example when back in the day a black man was only go for picking cotton it was that same black man that invented the cotton gin. Aint it like a black man to be ingenius enough to $@~%$# rigg something out of nothing to make work easier. lol.And the last the myth that a black man is inferior. You see I understand why “not all whites i am only talking to the racist ones” you are terrified see the playing field has always been unevenyet the black man still rises to the point he even became your President so you fear a man or men with that type of potential so you act like a devil whose is afraid of man’s potential and does everything to hinder his realizing it,but there is a problem god has a purpose and a plan for everything your hindering was actually the fertilizer to spurn the growth from potential to performance and with that i thank you.

Nemisis Said on

Section 8 was created in the 1930’s during the Great Depression. For the majority of the American people were living in poverty and facing a huge housing crisis. Andrew don’t take offence to the one in a million ignorant white people like David who wants to turn it into a race issue. While the rest of us know that its not. His comment should be marked as offensive and taken off the forum by an apparently non existent administrator. As it is completely off topic for this forum.
