Welcome to Washington D.C Barack Obama! Download: Mambo Sauce - "Welcome to D.C" (Presidential Remix)

A black man is now the most powerful person on the planet. Definitely never dreamed I would see this day in my lifetime. America has proved that at her best she can be a great nation. Yes, she has had her dark history and black spots, but which nation hasn't. I hope this will spark more black people to live up to our great potential. I wish Africa,its leaders and people would also look at this as inspiration to do better. This is for all the slaves,and people who went thorugh discrimination and racism,hangings,hose-downs and all manner of racial prejudice. Somehwere Martin Luther King Jr. is smiling. We are not n*ggers or coons or lazy, we as a people can achieve great heights if we are dedicated to it. Kudos to Barack Obama, America and all the voters.

Will the Bradley Effect come into play in this years U.S elections? In 1982 black California Mayor Tom Bradley lost the election to white candiate George Deukmejian even after Bradley led by wide margins in the opinion polls leading up to the vote. It appeared that white voters deceived the pollsters that they would vote for the black candidate but voted for the white one on election day. The theory is still in contention, but it is interesting to see if this effect may repeat itself in 2008. Will Obama's votes be significantly different on November 4th from what opinion polls currently tell us? It will be an interesting phenomenon to observe. Will the Bradley Effect affect Obama's chances?

Wow....I hope this isn't the core base of the Republican party. The way I see it, some people thought the black candidate would be a joke, and now that he's poised to win they're panicking and reacting hatefully. I am not really surprised, but its still sad to see either way. Change comes slowly I guess and some of these people will have to get used to the reality. They are still in denial that a black man can be their leader. man shouts "kill him!"

Obama's half-sister talks about Obama's life and upbringing.

Could the racial factor be significant enough to cost Barack Obama the election? 40% of White Americans harbor at least a partly negative view towards black people. Read more on the poll here

Dr.Cornel West and Julianne Malveaux on Tavis Smiley I do rememeber feeling kinda odd when listening to Barack's speech when he mentioned everything about Dr.King except his name. What do you think,is Obama trying to be too safe?

You know what, I'm not a supporter of Obama, but I have no doubt about this historic moment that I'm witnessing(which I never dreamed i would see in my lifetime). Read the full transcript of Barack Obama's speech here delivered at the Democratic National Convention.
