What it means to children here and all over the world to vote OBAMA!
No matter who your parents were
no matter where you grew up
no matter your skin color
no matter how much money you have
or don't have
no matter who you are married to
no matter who you know

As long as you have excelled in your education,
and done worthwhile work that enriches others
more than you.....

then YES, you too can grow up to be President. :patriot:


A Beautiful lesson and justice for all!

5. A chnge in gender or skin tone is not any kind of a change worth having.Real change is work
and results. Real change isn't just a symbol.

8.  How can you disagree with my statement? Do you really think it is sufficient
to have either a woman or a person of color on a ticket or in the WH to claim "change"? That is enough for you? Wow!

2. Another lesson is not to be a asshole when someone tells who they vote for.
"Good! You voted for Dems to be defeated in November......

Because the country will not go for the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

Thanks a lot for that! :hi:"

I wonder who said that?

4. Obama knows he can't win, he just wants to keep a woman from winning
Maybe in 2012, he''ll run again and lose the election for us again.

3. It means race is more important than gender? And that issues don't matter
if race and gender are on the table? Sorry to be snary about this but I think this is crap.Yes, you can grow up to be Prez if you have a deal with the MSM.

12. Children all over the world already see black presidents
Dark skinned people who work hard, study hard and excel. Try looking around at other countries and you'll see dark skin leading countries every where.

The children of the world don't need to look at white America for role models. They have excellent people aplenty right in their own countries, thank you.
