Sen. Barack Obama Resigns His Seat Effective Sunday
November 13th, 2008The transition office for President-Elect Barack Obama released the following statement:
“It has been one of the highest honors and privileges of my life to have served the people of Illinois in the United States Senate. In a state that represents the crossroads of a nation, I have met so many men and women who’ve taken different journeys, but hold common hopes for their children’s future. It is these Illinois families and their stories that will stay with me as I leave the United States Senate and begin the hard task of fulfilling the simple hopes and common dreams of all Americans as our nation’s next President,” said President-elect Barack Obama

Im proud to be an African American! Obama I thank you. Not only for your LEADERSHIP, but for your ambitions. You are awsom! All I can tell you is keep putting GOD 1st, (like you have already done) and know FAVOR aint FAIR!. GOD bless you and your family!
I’m very happy to be apart of history. I’m proud that my young black brothers and sisters got out and voted to make this happen. I would like to also thank the white voters for believing in us and a black man to be president of united states of america. They did not give us the forty acres in a mule, they gave us fifthy states in a white house. You go obama and michelle. I wish u guys while. And I hope u guys find a dog for your beautiful daughters.

MY PRESiiD3NT iiZ BLACK..!
JOB WELL DONE!!!..NOW ON TO THE ..”WHITE HOUSE”..DO WE STILL CALL THE ..’WHITE HOUSE 221;R 30;̶ 1;WHITE& #8217;.? ??
cant he just do both
This world is changing and it’s the people of this wonderful nation that’s converting this place that we live into a world of love,peace and understanding. It feels good to know that this world we live in is not as corrupted as one would think, now we have our first African American President, this proves that this great nation has grown to become one. I’m proud to say that I am an American! Congrats Barack Oboma!
I will first thank God for every thing,and congrats Barack Obama and the American pupil as a whole God bless u all.
I am not black but love the ideas Obama bring to the table. I surely voted for him. Let’s remember not to get off track and get all “black powered”. Obama’s victory has nothing to do w/ black Americans.
JESSICA HAMEL…OH DAM!!!.. HERE WE GO AGAIN WHAT NOW ??..OBAMA IS NOT A ..”BLACK AMERICAN”.?? WHAT PLANET DID YOU VOTE ON?.AND DID YOU NOT NOTICE HIS COLOR?.OH I GET IT YOUR ONE OF THOSE THAT THINK IT WAS EVERYONE ELSE BUT THE ..”AFRICAN AMERICAN “.VOTE THAT GOT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!..TO LATE BABY WE ARE..” BLACK POWERED”..AND YOU ARE..” BLACK POWERED”. ALSO!!. YOU VOTED FOR A ..”BLACK AMERICAN”.. OR ARE YOU THAT CLUELESS!!.IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOUR SELF THAT ALL WAYS LOOK FOR EXCUSES TO EXPLAIN..” PROGRESS “..BY PEOPLE OF COLOR .
i think brittany white should be punched in the mouth, never the less….i am very proud of my country for the best decision we have made in a long time
way to go OBAMA
I don’t think those girls should attend a public school for the very fact that not every one liked that a “BLACK MAN” is their leader. We can’t forget that there are still a lot of racist and biggits in this country that’s just waiting for an oppertunity to hurt these people.
Been the first Affrican American to become the commander and chief of this country, i hope it serves as an empowerment to us as people and open our eyes to the fact that there is no hill too tall to climb and we should aim for the skys and no matter what anyone has to say always believe in your self.
Jessica Hamel,
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG. OBAMA’S VICTORY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH BLACK AMERICANS….BUT IT’S A BLACK THING AND I DON’T FEEL LIKE HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND!!!
Jessica hamel,
Byotches like you make me sick!!! Whenever a black person achieves something that was previously considered unachievable; you white people want to take his blackness away from him. Like he could never have achieved that if he were 1000% black so it must have been that .000001% caucasian blood that made him good enough to be president of the US. PHUCK YOU MF!!! You and racist scum like that @**#@#*@*. WELL PHUCK YOU MF’s BECAUSE WE GONE CELEBRATE OUR VICTORY (BLACK PEOPLE) UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME. WE GONE EAT FRIED CHICKEN WINGS, DRINK KOOL-AIDE (SOME 40’S TOO) UNTIL WE FINISH CELEBRATING AND AIN’T SHYT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT CAUSE YOUR PRESIDENT IS BLACK BYOTCH!!!
?~?%?% riqht obama….!!!!!!!!!
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT’S SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE A BLACK PERSON TO BE THE U.S.A PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!I IT SEEM LIKE WE GOING BACK TO THE OLD DAYS WHEN I WASN’T BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW AFTER YOU,THERE’S NOT GON BE ANOTHER BLACK PRESIDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN,THAT’S WHY WE GOING TO ENJOY YOU UNTILE THE TIMES IS UP AND THEN WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER PRESIDEN T!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
LOVE YOU,
PRECIOUS POOLE

Praise the Lord for what He has done! I am honored and elated to be a part of the history of the FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT of these United States of America! As Mr. President Elect BARACK OBAMA takes his position we must collectively and continually keep him and his family lifted up in our prayers for wisdom, guidance, strength and protection from the evil one. Of course, he must resign as Senator he has been PROMOTED to a higher position. Hallelujah!

one thing i learned this election is that the boys club will always be the boys club no matter the color or size
We are all proud of half white man and black people did not vote him in.
We are all proud of half white MAN.
We are all proud of half white man and he thinks as a white person .
“NEGRO DAVID”. ARE YOU PROUD OF YOUR ..”BLACK’ ..SIDE?? I GOT A IDEA FOR YOU . IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE ..”AFRICAN “..IN YOU WHY DON’T YOU CUT IT OUT OF YOU!!.THAT WOULD SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS.
YEP, “AFRICAN MONKEYS RULE”!! SWINGING ALL THE WAY TO THE USA.. (FROM KENYA SPECIAL DELIVERY!!LOL!)
OBVIOUSLY KENYAN MEN DON’T RAISE THEIR OWN CHILDREN EITHER, JUST LIKE SOME OTHER CULTURES. KENYAN’S ARE NO BETTER AND NO WORST THAN ANYBODY ELSE!
olounwa,
yeah, Obama’s Kenyan father did not put a high priority on fatherhood so stop trying to take credit for Obama’s success. You don’t even live in your native country. Obama is an African American with no connection to Kenya. So what he visited Kenya once and has relatives there. He can’t even speak the language, some connection. And none of them is going to the white house with him nor did he discuss them in his campaign. So all his Kenyan father did was contribute sperm!!!! Dogs do that too. So I guess Obama’s a white American with melanin too huh???
The bottom line is Obama’s farher was both AFRICAN AND ABSENT.So nobody can realy put a premium on the fact he was African when he was absent leaving it up to his white grandparents too raise him.
Pardon typo;should have read really,now did I lie ?
I am grateful that at 41 years old that I am able to share in this historial time. I agree that “You don’t pick the time, the time picks you.” And I know that President Elect Obama and his wife Michelle will do an awesome job in bringing this Country into a United Front, not a united “F RONTR 21;̷ 0;..
Color ado

FORGETS WHO he is , AND WHERE HE COMES FROM…. ! infact, dont YOU THINK THAT HIS NAME IS TOO AFRICAN FOR AMERICA? hahahaha!!! . damn, everytime YOU SAY IT.. you are paying TRIBUTE TO HIS FATHER..!! and that HUSSIEN middle name, once again, his fathers, dont you THINK he should have got rid of that too?,.infact, he should have renamed himself..

BLACKS IN AMERICA DON’T GET MARRIED !!! What a revelation,completely news to me since I was in a wedding three weeks ago.
OLOUNWA,
YOU ARE A TWISTED AND VERY DEMENTED INDIVIDUAL INCAPABLE OF CIVIL DISCUSSION. YOUR UNREASONABLE ANGER AND GENERALIZATIONS AND NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES ARE VERY EVIDENT OF YOUR LACK OF TRUE INTELLIGENCE ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICANS HOWEVER, THEY DO TELL A LOT ABOUT YOUR MENTAL STABILITY AND LACK OF “A LIFE”, THAT AND THE FACT THAT YOU BLOG ALL OVER THE INTERNET POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICANS TELLS MORE ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON THAN YOU RANTING EVER WILL. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO POST SEVERAL MORE DEMEANING COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THIS ONE BUT I’M DONE WITH YOU THIS ISN’T A DISCUSSION AND MY TIME IS TOO PRECIOUS TO WASTE ANY FURTHER ON THE LIKES OF YOU.
GOD BLESS!!!
why yall wasting time on this olounwa a.s.s.h.o.l.e.? she talkin all this s.h.i.t. on the internet where it don’t matter. why ain’t she runnin for office or workin in the government to help africans or african people in the uk? who cares what that b.i.t.c.h think? she ain’t got no pull nowhere cause she spend all her time on the internet. f.u.c.k. that b.i.t.c.h. and the broom she rode in on!
