A stern looking Barack Obama arrived at the White House today for his official tour of the living quarters that he and his family will occupy for at least the next four years.
Amid talk of Nancy Pelosi bailing out the auto industry with more of our tax dollars, Obama’s mouthpiece Valerie Jarrett reminded us that he will not be president until January 20, at which time he will begin to “rule day one.” Yes, she said “rule.”
Even Before Barack Obama, I Already Knew I Could
I found this on another blog. I find it interesting that not everybody needed Barack Obama to tell them they could accomplish anything through hard work.
The media is all over Barack Obama for showing us what the “American Dream” means.
So… The American Dream means making shady connections, eliminating political opponents, being thoroughly unaccomplished, and then becoming president?
I didn’t need Obama to tell me that “I can.” In fact, all he’s done is teach us that “we can” without any accomplishments whatsoever. READ MORE…
We gonna help you with your acronyms………….LOL
Yes to all of it!
interesting looking little lady
I thought Fantasia was “The American Dream” or maybe even “The Jackson 5” movie. The singer himself “The Dream”. IDK
However, you do teach your children that can be anything, starting at the homefront.
That acronym does look like it’s short for “Pot House” or something. LOL
loves me some valerie.
and POTUS…?? who came up with that? LOL.
I think it was smart to let people know that Bush is still president and he will be till Jan 20th. Plus this gives Obama time to get his people in place and to go through the policies that are in place already. And if whites or whoever wants to go and stockpile up on guns, well then catch up cause everyone i know already have guns in their houses.
and just cause obama can’t officially cuss bush out…there are no rules for miss laura and first lady shelly. let’s hope miss laura is REAL nice today. first lady shelly IS southside chi town. i bet she got some neck movements for your azz…. don’t let that harvard fool you.
shelly look like she can put a cuss down on somebody. the kind that still keeps it “biz professional” but enough for you to know you been “checked”
GET OVER IT SANDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotdammit you are driving me crazy. Yes, most of us have known all along that we can do just about anything we set our heart and minds to, but there are those out there who are inspired by this historic moment. Do you honestly feel that President Elect Obama is unaccomplished? That he is your everyday slouch off the street? Come on sista girl. Pulease stop playing. Please.

Our next President Elect is reminding us that he is not in The White House right now. We just bailed out AIG. $152B. If I were him I would let Bush do whatever before he leaves. It is going to have to be done now or later. I would rather blame Bush than Mr. Obama.
As funny looking as she may look Valerie Jarrett is a very intelligent woman…unlike the kind McSame loved to surround himself with…SANDRA are you that desperate that you are now quoting right wing crazies to prove your point…it gets better every day!!!
did anyone click on the read more and got to the other website? if you think what sandra is doing is appalling , check out that mess. i can’t do anything but laugh . lmao
@ bird PREACH!!!!!!!!!!
Who cares. The b itches are coming out in full force post election.
WHO CARES.
@licia:
I just looked at the site and you’re right, nothing but mess on that site. Just give it up, he’s already elected! I can’t belive Sandra would go to some site like that, looking at the racist comments from some of the bloggers and use that on this site. I’m just losing more and more respect for this site everyday.
This is a perfect example of leaving people be….I swear when someone is so hell bent or extreme in their beliefs or opinions it’s a “red flag” to leave them the hell alone for real! I have no desire to change people’s opinions or argue with someone whose so irrational-it’s obviously a waste of time……
Debating is one thing and I can truly say that some people on here really have made me at least consider looking at things from a different view-but this is mind-boggling and borderline insanity!
If Obama becoming the next president wasn’t such a big deal-then why is the whole world taking notice, celebrating, and why is the media proclaiming the moment as historical?
Delusional…..I swear if it could have been done all along-then why in the hell hasn’t it been done already?
Obama-united people from all different economical and social backgrounds and races and together we elected him as the next president, we haven’t seen anyone this influential since Martin Luther King, Jr. –
if you can’t see how monumental & inspirational this moment is -then you as the old folks would say “you have hell in you” & just don’t want to for the sake of creating havoc and confusion-
Plain & Simple
i came to the site today and i was like yes. finally after all these months it is back to business. but i see my hopes were short lived. i knew i could because i had parents to tell me that everyday. NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT. sometimes people have to look elsewhere because they are not seeing growth in their homes. but i dont expect you to understand the other side.
And another thing that kills me, this man won fair and square within a system that was created by white men!
And as long as the system worked for them it was all good, for example -bush even though the whole world knew something was shady the last time he was elected
but now Obama wins within the system they created, and people want to cry foul-blame the system, blame the citizens that voted for him, but don’t beat him up for playing the game and winning.
It’s called democracy people-if you don’t like it go live somewhere else-he’s our newly elected President-show some respect if not for him at least for your country & what we stand for as a people-and the people have spoken so STFU!
And go somewhere with the nonsense that you knew all along that you could achieve the american dream-SO ARE ALL OF YOU TRYING TO TELL ME YOU BELIEVED THAT YOU COULD BECOME THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT OR FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT ETC.
PLEASE TO ASPIRE TO DO SOMETHING THIS ASTRONOMICAL YOU HAVE TO FIRST SEE PROOF IT CAN BE ACHIEVED-LIKE THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON, ETC. ANYBODY CAN WORK HARD, BE SUCCESSFUL, HAVE A FAMILY, OBTAIN FINANCIAL SUCCESS BUT NOT ANYBODY CAN BE THE PRESIDENT! LET ALONE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT!
OBAMA STEPS WERE ORDAINED BY GOD (AGREE OR DISAGREE) THIS MAN WILL BECOME APART OF AMERICAN HISTORY-AND THAT IS NOT A FEAT ACHIEVED BY MANY-SO KILL THE RHETORIC
IN HINDSIGHT, YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING- BEFORE THIS MAN WAS ELECTED PEOPLE ONLY DREAMED & HOPED IT COULD HAPPEN-OBAMA HAS MADE THE DREAM A REALITY FOR MANY OTHERS!
ANY ACCOMPLISHMENT IS JUST THAT-YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING FROM IT-
GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE EVERY BLACK PERSON ISN’T LOOKING TO OBAMA FOR INSPIRATION AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING-AND IT’S HIS AND HIS FAMILY PRESENCE ALONE THAT IS DISPELING MYTHS AND STEREOTYPES THAT WE ALL COME FROM BROKEN HOMES AND DON’T WANT MUCH OUT OF LIFE
THAT’S WHY SO MANY OF YOU ARE ANGRY-THIS MAN IS FORCING “PEOPLE” TO VIEW BLACKS DIFFERENTLY INSTEAD OF THE IMAGE THE MEDIA PROJECTS
SO MANY OF YOU ARE SO USE TO US BEING THE UNDERDOGS YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH US BEING IN POWER, TYPICALLY OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS WHO VIEW THEMSELVES AS SUPERIOR TO US-AND I’M NOT JUST REFERRING TO WHITES
This is repulsive the bigotry that is surrounding this man! I mean what is it? Maybe he did not inspire the writer of this statement, but he did in fact inspire a lot of minorities who have slipped between the cracks and are convinced that the world and our government have forgotten them. Some individuals do not need validation, but if we were all chiefs, who would be the indians? Im just appalled at ANY minority who feels as though they have been treated fairly in this country, and to talk about blind eyes? Then not to mention all of the individuals who have chosen the republican party, most of you are in the wrong tax bracket! I have a co-worker who votes republican but receives foodstamps………go figure. Hate is a weak emotion that has to be fed, so for someone to have the time to write this piece in the fury and demeanor that they wrote it in concerning someone who they dont even know personally is one chromosome short anyways.
#21 Prefectly stated. Now to u SR… F**k u and the horse u rode in on. Please block me from this BS site. Remember no matter what HE IS UR PRESIDENT ELECT TOO ! U praise whack ass ghetto rappers, and tacky baby mamas but put down someone who has made history. I think you are crazy as hell !
Well that site is full of bullshit!!! And I mean that with the highest degree of bullshitness (I made it a word damnit)!!!!
People are entitled to their opinion but when you see ignorance you have to step back and applaud all the energy it takes to be foolish.
God Bless America!!! I pray for all they cynical, racist, self-hating people in this world.
You are right…Barack didn’t need to be the one that makes us CHANGE…he gave us a reason not to have an EXCUSE not to!!!
Obama 08!!!
@ Mrs Dawn… please don’t get your blood pressure too worked up.
We ALL know damn well that all people are not viewed equally. Blacks have to go above and WAY beyond just to get what’s fair.
Auntie Sandie knows it too or she wouldn’t be on here crying because the white media don’t want to buy her black pictures.
She’s the one that cries about how all the white babies make the cover of tabloids and paid lots of dough and nobody want to buy our black baby pictures.
You are right…Barack didn’t need to be the one that makes us CHANGE…he gave us a reason not to have an EXCUSE not to!!!
^^ too thick you made me proud with this statement right here.
Sandra…you seem very toasted and salty….just like all the other peanuts in the gallery!!
OBAMA 08…WE MADE HISTORY!
