The 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

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.

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 “FRONT”…..

BLACKS IN AMERICA DON’T GET MARRIED !!! What a revelation,completely news to me since I was in a wedding three weeks ago.



Sarah Said on

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!!!
