Why Bossip Will Support Barack Obama in 08′
Posted by Bossip Staff
Our editorial staff believes Barack Obama is the candidate to co-sign and support in the presidential election in 08′. Obama is a leader of change and is the most authentic and viable candidate in the race. We are urging people, specifically our people, to get behind Barack Obama and dump support for Hillary Clinton, who doesn’t represent the best interest of our people and Americans in general.
America is supposedly a democracy but the Bush and Clinton families have been in power for over two decades, beginning with George Bush’s father. We are fatigued with the leadership of the Bushs and Clintons and it’s time for a change in direction. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq war with Bush which cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. Experience has no value if you fail to make the right decision at the right time. Barack made the right decision and took the right position when it was unpopular and not viewed as the patriotic thing to do. This is an important characteristic of a true leader.
It is a mistake for some of our people to have the view that Barack Obama won’t be elected because he is Black. Why set artificial limits on what someone can do? What do we have to lose if we test this out? Barack Obama has the courage to run in the face of racial threats on his life. Colin Powell was scared.
We don’t support Obama because white folks are crazy about him. We support him because he is the best candidate that represents our interests, understands the plight of poor people, and brings fresh ideas to the table.
Failed leadership such as Jesse Jackson, Andrew Young, and Al Sharpton represents business as usual. These corrupt leaders don’t support Barack Obama full blast because of what he represents: change and a different pedigree of leadership. Hillary Clinton is the typical democratic politician who visits the hood and churches around campaign time to exploit the Black vote. With Barack, you know he is sincere. Obama passed on employment at major law firms to work on community issues in the streets of Chicago. This was an early example of Obama’s character.
Getting behind Obama early in 08′ would be a statement for change, even if change starts with symbolism.
Bossip officially endorses the Barack Obama campaign and we will put the weight of over 3 million monthly unique visitors behind the Obama campaign next year. If you live in Florida, New York, or Ohio and want to join the Bossip Obama team next year, send your resume and level of interest to tips@bossip.com.

First again!!
Obama in 08 don’t fall for Clinton’s fake appreciation of our community.
he definately has my vote. please dont vote for hilary she’s not for the people. she is down with bush
***OUT OF BREATH***almost had it!-anywayz I dont need any endorsements Obama has always been my 1st choice–we just need to steer the Negroes away from Hilary –she ain’t Bil y’all!
@ atl love
I was saying the same thing
He’s defnitely got my vote.
Bossip, I really applaud you for that……I think that was the most intelligent, thing I’ve read since I’ve been coming to this site!!
That’s the truth Daniecal…she’s nothing like her husband at all! Obama is the right choice I think and what gets me is that so many people took a chance on Bush and look what the F*ck happened… Again, why not give Obama the chance to prove he’s THE ONE! Hell common sense tells you if he’s found not suitable after 4 years then elect someone else. But then again some of us saw Bush wasnt and re-elected that fool anyway. After that idiot anyone else is worth a chance.
“…the typical democratic politician who comes around the hood and churches around campaign time to exploit the Black vote.”

that is so true, and after they get the vote, we don’t see them EVERRR again. I can’t stand when my people are easily impressed and fall for the oaky doke!
if you believe anything hillary says shoot yaself if u black and vote republican shoot yaself-OBAMA 08
Msbioed
girl you know Bush stole it the first time around!!
aww hell…prolly the second time too!
It’s sad that “reportedly” he’s lagging behind in the black polls… I dont know about that statistic the conspiracy theorist in me wants to say that that’s just the white media’s way of discouraging voters–the optimist in me hopes that they just polled with the wrong black folk-cuz i know plenty who r planning to vote for him
Thank You Bossip!!!! I for one am Sick of Black folks saying “He Can’t Get Elected” or “Better to put your vote with Hillary we know what she’s about” ARE YOU KIDDIN ME. Please Folks wake up smell the coffe, read an unbiased newspaper, check out what the european media think of our candidates and most of all inform yourselves. A responsible voter is an informed voter…..Peace to everyone and enjoy your Holiday…….Mavv
AND I JUST HAD TO ADD I LOATHE BLACK REPUBLICANS , THATS ABOUT AS IRONIC AS BEING A GAY MORMON–ok im done
Hillary is what’s wrong with the political game right now. I want someone who hasn’t had his/her head stuck up the a** of corporate america and all of the lobbyist in DC. We need someone new to the game, who can change it and put it on its ear so it can work. It makes me wanna holla when I see black folk in the news all smiling saying..”we voting for Hillary cause Bill was the first black president..” Sorry, but being a liar and a cheat does not make anyone black in my book. And that is what Bill Clinton will always be known for. Obama can win if black folk would stop acting all stupid and voting/supporting the past and vote for the present and future.
@snickers…only a fool don’t know Bush stole both elections
I just hope everyone votes, do something and make a change. I beleive I will vote for Barack, but I am still examining their policies. I am ot voting for him just because hes black. Thats like white poepl voting for their candidates because their white. I am voting for the person who I believe will positively change the lives and conditions of my people the most. Has Barack addresed Katrina victims situation yet? I dont believe so.. just a thought people.
Just because your black does not mean you have to be a Democrat. That idea dates back to Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era. People we are suppoed to be progressing with intellect and not staying in a state of expectance. Vote for who you believe in and ignore the rest. I have not endorsed anyone this early because there is another year of campaining to go. Right now I like John Edwards, but I am sure you guys will now attack me for my views. Look beyond color and see the big picture. Black and white tv’s are played out so let’s analyze the issues and be real
*not
if you vote Democratic…just don’t vote Hillary. And if you vote Republican…just don’t vote Guiliani/ or Huckabee
@DJ Khaled..not all black folk vote Democratic

meant to add 2nd that before the comment..calm down I agree with ya
To anyone who has the nerves to go into my church and tell me what it is I need to believe will not get my support. End of discussion (this is not to any particular person or Bossip — just in general so that people will not waste their time trying to make a debate where no one will change their mind).
Wow Bossip…you got some Politics Majors on your team or something. That was a very intelligent, pithy and persuasive piece if I do say so myself. Along with my girl Oprah I want y’all to know that I, Mary Jane Blige fully support the Barack Obama campaign for 2008 (although outside of this blog I have to maintain an impartial front, you understand, for sales purposes). I am also glad to see that people here are quite right deliberating and not merely voting for Obama due to his ethnicity. I particularly liked that bit referring to the old guard ie. Sharton (coon), Jackon (hypocrite). But all in all that was a great read…..although your efforts were slighty undone by the fact that this is labelled “Bolitics”.smh. As the famous saying goes….”you can’t take the trash out of the ghetto”

just checkin’! I was like d*mn why she gettin outta pocket when we was just vibin’ the other day with our “sexy men” lists!

co-sign. How quickly people forget. Not to mention that Bill’s success as our President doesn’t follow that his wife will be a successful successor to Bush!
Snickers…
Bush aint just stole the election he has stolen more then that. Yeah I clown and joke alot but trust me thats the way I keep balance in my life
I hope black people don’t support Obama on the basis that he is black and fall for his campaign strategy of “change” of which practically every lower ballot democratic candidate is using too. I hope that those black people who don’t support Hillary for some racist reason, should just ADMIT it.
Bossip isn’t a bit premature to endorse a presidential candidate? Secondly,”Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq war with Bush which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Experience has no value if you don’t how to make the right decision at the right time. Barack made the right decision when it was unpopular and not viewed as a patriotic thing to do. This is an important characteristic of a true leader”- THAT’S NOT TRUE, OBAMA WASN’T IN THE SENATE TO HAVE VOTED FOR THE IRAQ WAR! Why should any of Bossip readers support Obama when you guys aren’t even doing your homework?! I mean you haven’t even offered arguments against why we shouldn’t support any of the other capable democratic candidates.Or even couraged readers to research for themselves, a lot of people really like Edwards and I lean towards Richardson because he’s very practical with the most experienced.But he’s a bit akward to say least.
Yes, you don’t have to be necessarily smart to make sound decisions but has Obama proved that he is capable of bring change-where’s the proof? If Obama and Hillary were running for Senate, she would kick his a** by far because she’s the better legislator with tenure. Voters need to be careful not to vote just on their emotions liie how a lot of black people voted for Bush on that gay marriage front.
If obama chose to focus his first term on getting experience and showing us what he’s made of, instead of running for president for a few terms; and not running on capital based on being a celebrity.I would be more than happy to support someone who gets things done for the better and is fully respected. I think he’s a great guy, I’ve seen him speak twice in front of both black people and then white people.We need more people like him in office that people can relate to. I was laughing and in awe when he was in front black people and bored stiff when he was speaking in front of white people. He’s actually a much more compelling speaker than Bill Clinton, but I don’t think he’s as compelling as Bill one on one. His style of speaking like he’s trying to be presidential irks me. Sorry, going off on a tangent.
Basically, Bossip could you provide us a cogent argument explaining why we should support Obama and not other candidates? Like, could you do some research, show us some voted, and etc-or can you get off Obama’s d*ck?
Thank you!
Wow, Bossip! This is the most intelligent thing I’ve read on this site…..I co-sign completely. Barack has my vote.
Sorry, but I don’t think the Democrats (or most Republicans) represent our interests. I think Obama is intelligent, and sincere, but the Democratic agenda (of which he is a part) is harmful to African-Amereicans and just serves to keep us victims and dependent on the welfare state (and I don’t necessarily mean getting a welfare check, but depending on the government to solve all our problems).
@ Ms. Kelly — clearly, you aren’t doing YOUR homework. Look up the speech Obama gave all the way back in 2003 about why he didn’t support the Iraq war. The man has WAY more character and better vision than Hillary Clinton does. No one is voting for him because he’s black, they’re voting for him because he’s the best candidate.
Great Bossip! I like Obama though I am not a supporter of his. I am interested in all the people running, particularly the DEMS. I am not all that impressed with him, but I do like when people get involved in the political process since it is so important. By the way, not all Black people are DEMS nor should we be. And Hillary isn’t Bill and why would you want her to be? Bill did well, but many Blacks suffered under his policies (NAFTA, drug laws, welfar “reform”)
man, I wish edit that.. but I was pissed
M-DADDY
Trust me I know!! I’m a Texan and that CLOWN was Texas’ WORST governor!! His favorite game was sending people to the electric chair…he has NO MERCY whatsoever! Alot of Texans voted for him ’cause they thought he did a stand up job as governor here……now they can’t stand his ass……
Black people uniting!!!!
Nice job Bossip
All you haters keep supporting the white man LOL
imrightdammit said: the Democratic agenda ….. just serves to keep us victims and dependent on the welfare state (and I don’t necessarily mean getting a welfare check, but depending on the government to solve all our problems
^^^^^
Explain? I don’t see how they could be responsible for the dependent attitude of individuals….
@ ‘Snickers’
Yeah thats some crazy ass shit. Being from Cali the laws are definately different. A friend of mine said his cousin went to Texas got pulled over with a blunt in the ash trey and got 2 years. He said dude didnt even get to smoke it . I was like DAMN!!
bossip supporting someone? yeah right…
you wouldn’t know how to if they were inside of a bag….
YES, BOSSIP!!! YOU GOT IT RIGHT. OBAMA 2008!!!! DUMP HILARY CLINTON. However, throughout this campaign you have to stay on message. Please don’t ease up. I don’t want any compromise such as Obama becoming Clinton’s runningmate. I don’t even want Clinton to be vice-president. Let us completely dump her and people like her. I am tired of the Party using us.
Snickers….
FYI I keep lookin at you gravatar. Just a FYI I’m just a little, and I mean just a little smaller the Ray
M-DADDY
Don’t even get me started on the police here!! When it comes to filling their quotas at the end of the month, they do it BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!! These clowns will write you a ticket if your car aint the shade of black they like…….
Unfortunately, as a British citizen, I can’t vote, but if I could…
LMAO, I see folks STILL have me on the brain big time. I love it!! Someone actually cared enough to put energy into copying and X’ing my likeness. Wow, have I affected you THAT MUCH?!?!?! Silly rabbit… I’m flattered and you continue to amuse me.
They are not RESPONSIBLE for our attitudes, but the democratic agenda has always been to “give us more fish” if we are hungry, but the solution is for us to teach our own how to fish (then buy/build the lake!). If Black people are poor, the democratic solution is to give us more welfare (and at the same time, separate black families since you can’t have a man in the house and get welfare. Ironic, isn’t it?). Their policies create a dependency that has not helped the Black community. That’s just my opinion, and I think the Democrats take the Black vote for granted, like it’s a given, and I think Black people should look deeper and recognize that this shit is not working!
Someone has returned at random
Good night and Merry Christmas. Honestly this is from the heart. Every body here makes my days better

That was for Just Sit And Be Pretty, and that’s foul to X your picture. Some people have no manners.
@ Imrightdamnit
You can have a man in the house and draw welfare/TANF benefits. I work in a closely relate field and know this for a fact, there are just certain qualifications that must be met. Did you not met them??? Not being funny either
Ms.Fab,
Thank you for the response but my point was Obama wasn’t in office in 2002 for the Iraq resolution and I believe that Bossip misrepresented that by stating “Barack made the right decision when it was unpopular and unpatriotic”-I thought was misleading.
Although, I do think Obama could be very liberal and wouldn’t have supported the war but I’m skeptical because I don’t entirely believe that Obama wouldn’t be calculating or if given the chance to vote for the war…I think he would have voted for it like everyone else, and you know the important thing to remember is this was Bush’s war
^^^@We the best, sorry, I have a job and an advanced degree, no offense taken. And whatever those qualifications are, the point is still the same. A very dependent state is created (and not JUST with welfare benefits).
If Black people are poor, the democratic solution is to give us more welfare (and at the same time, separate black families since you can’t have a man in the house and get welfare. Ironic, isn’t it?
^^^
I see what you’re saying. But does this mean that you support the welfare benefit reductions of the Republican party?
…and the advanced degree was obtained after a 4-year college degree, not one advertised on TV during Maury. LOL!
1) Just Sit you know its all shits and giggles. I saw others had been ganging up on you so I thought I would cheer you up by giving you the attention you desperately crave
2)We all know that the woman in your gravvy is NOT you. Hell, if thats really you in your picture then I’m Mary J Blige
both parties have obvious flaws, but I cant think of one Republican that has ever courted the black vote (however I’m not that old)–granted they usually dont have to #1 they feel that if they could appeal to thier core -conservatives not getting the black vote wouldn’t hav any impact-#2-it seems like they feel black people dont vote enough to have an impact on the elections-and they ones that are likely to vote democrate like college students –they just cheat by doing thier whole voter caging thing,like they did recently challenging the rights of students at black colleges and registered democrats right to vote, all because they didn’t respond to some stupid letter that purposely looked like junk mail -then sending them to the folk’s dorms on spring break or to the homes of people in te service -while they’re in Iraq, Then again the majorly democratic congress has been less than pleasing to me–Most Democrats -all talk no action Republicans -if ur black who gives a fu** and Independents–(blank)
^^^ @Mary J, and the X is fucked up, I think the Republican take on welfare needs some work as well, but I do agree that ultimately, welfare should have limits. As it stands, it’s like crack, and people can’t get off that shit! It doesn’t address the BEHAVIORS that make someone more vulnerable to being on welfare. But there should definitely be limits, and probably no increases in payments for more children conceived while on welfare.
Great point imrightdamnit! I work in several public housing units (projects) as a mental health counselor and many single mothers are proud of the fact that each year their tax returns increase because they have had another child during the year. I had one mother boast to me that she received almost $12,000 in tax return b/c she had five kids. What is sad is she put rims on her car and got a new ghetto paint job for the car. THe system is obviously messed up
GREAT post!! While entertainment news is a must [;-)], knowing who slept with who isn’t going to improve us as a people. It is important to know the deal when the time comes, so thanks BOSSIP for schooling us and making sure we knew that the time has come and we need to know what’s going on.
A poster made this statement in another forum and I couldn’t agree more!!
“@LIB
Well she gone tell me to shut up for speaking the truth. She is clearly instigating shit and need to stay in her lane and shut the fuck up Like I said taking ppls gravatar is immature and weak and it is a bitch ass move. Why keep harping over someone in a blog, if you spend day and night thinking about someone that is not thinking about you then you are wasting you life and you are a loser!

LMAO!! Oh wait, but yet I was accused of being “vain” for posting my pic. Obviously, I’ve seeped into some of your cyber souls and you absolutely love hating me. Yeah, it’s shits and giggles because you can try to twist it and say that “I” crave the attention, when in reality, YOU can’t seem to do anything BUT pay me attention. Now really, who’s slaying whom?!?!?

DAAAAMN! 12 Gs???? Maybe I’m in the wrong business! NOT! And I understand that as a compassionate nation, we should have something in place to help those going through hard times, but now, welfare is like a CAREER to many (not all) people.
I really like that he doesnt have to shove his blackness down america’s throat and try to use it as his gimmick or whatever, he wants to represent ALL people
and he doesnt waste time talkin about his opponents
ps thanks for taking the time to: 1)do all tht research for me. No one pretends to be offline quite like you
2)thanks for taking time in writing that diatribe about me.
3)I’m truly honored and flattered

@imright
I live in VA and here we have tax credits per child. They are intended to buy school clothes, help pay for school supplies, and other needed personal items. The problem is mother’s who grew up poor are willing to bring another baby into a life of poverty to increase their tax return. The cycle is hard to break, but if we don’t come up with a solution the system will only get worse.
BULLSHIT! How could Obama have voted for or against the war when he wasn’t even in the senate then? The vote to invade Iraq was in 2002, several months before Bush invaded Iraq, while Barack became a senator in 2004!!!
This is concrete PROOF that Barack has a bunch of blind ass supporters! Seriously, why would anybody want to hop on the Obama train with you Bossip folks, when you fools don’t even know where you’re going? You guys can’t even get the simple facts straight.
But let’s talk about the fact that Barack continues to vote for more FUNDING for the war and occupation of the Gulf region! Let’s talk about how the Democrats, INCLUDING OBAMA, and the Republicans are two of the same. How about the fact that both are united in the name of war and imperialism. Let’s talk about how the Democrats, INCLUDING OBAMA, are keeping the war, lies, and killing of innocent people going!
The Democratic party is the hand that feeds the spoiled Republican monster!
Bossip is owned by a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals.
Oh wait, I didn’t see your response, before I leave, again, don’t unecessarily flatter yourself, it just makes you even more dumb. Obviously, a paragraph doesn’t constitute a “diatribe”. I copied and pasted the first half…you’re not so bright are you?!?
Again, because Bossip IS YOUR LIFE, day and night, please, please try to understand that some of us have REAL LIVES outside of this site. If I’m here I’ll post, lurking definitely isn’t my style. What next? LMAO, next I’ll be accused of being Osama bin Laden. Now, I’m really out…so if you respond, you’ll be ignored.
BTW, Mary, try not to dream about me tonight ummkay!
lmao @ nah nah calling Bossip out as pseudo-intellectuals. Dang girl lol! guess you not a fan of Bolitics?
i dont think the piece claims he ‘voted’ against the war. its merely pointing out that he was an opponent (eg. voicing his dissent publicly at rallies etc) whlst Hilary was supporting it.
@ nahnah
My Gawd gal, you sound like a damn kommie. Vote republikan.
Now, I’m really out…so if you respond, you’ll be ignored

Translation=Just Shit is actually lurking and pretending to be offline in order to make it appear she has a job.life.man and all the other things she fabricates. It also means I can now call her out and she cannot respond for fear of exposing herself LMAO!!!
Mary J Blige:
What rallies? And you know damn well they meant Barack made the ‘decision’ to vote against the war. Ain’t nobody know his ass back then, except for some folks in Illinoise.
@nahnah
I’m sorry to say it, but YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH! Whoever a person chooses to vote for, DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Don’t just vote for him because Oprah says so, or he’s a Black face. Look at things more critically and see the big picture. You may not realize that he is just as much a part of the democrat machine as the other democrats. Maybe you should vote issues and individuals, and stop supporting a party that isn’t doing you any good.
Believe me Just Shit I am fltterd. I am flattered that you think so much of me that you spend an unnecessary amount of time on Bossip purely to address me. I’m flattered that you take the time out to trawl through previous posts simply to cut and paste comments addressed to me. And I am truly amused by the fact that you actually think you are better than me (scroll through previous posts and you will see that the popular consensus is that you are no better than me). All that mud slinging you do shows you are nothing but a vicious ugttermouth dog. And I do control you because I cn provoke you to attack me whenever I want (Thats the thing about dogs). Any other poster would have been mature enough to ignore my bear baiting gravatar-but not you. And in case you are wondering, let me just make clear that it was you who took it to this level when you told me to go kill myself whilst writing under one of your aliases. I don;t play that shit. If you wish me death then I;ma cancel you out you ugly piece of shit. Go choke on your own waste
LMAO @ you guys bickering back and forth and taking shit personally as if you guys know each other. This is hilarious.
@ We The Best, HOW DO YOU GET A TAX RETURN WHEN YOU DON’T WORK? Let me know. I want in on that hustle! LOL!
@ nahnah…
“Obama was an early opponent of Bush administration policies on Iraq. In the fall of 2002, before the start of the Iraq War, he addressed an anti-war rally in Chicago, saying:
I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars”
I have trouble trusting any of the political parties that hold a monopoly on this country. Many don’t know that the democrats and republicans started from the same party and only split right before the civil war. They were the Democratic-Republicans and split over the issues of money and slavery.
And the traditional republican social stance was actually more comparable to the modern day democrats and the traditional dems were the rich southern plantation owners and sympathizers. This only began to change in the first half of the 1900’s…as recently as the 1950’s. FDR was the first real “new” democrat which “embraced” immigrants, blacks and the agendas of women.
I remember when I registered to vote as soon as I turned 18 that I was torn between registering as an Independent, a Democratic Socialist, a Communist or Democrat. I learned that only one of those influenced the primaries and in turn would have a greater say in the overall elections so I opted for the lesser of the 2 big evils.
Remember the last election between Kerry and Bush…Equally rich cousins who were both a part of Yale’s Skull and Bones society. Honestly, anyone who thought Kerry would bring change or anything much different from the past US Presidents had to be smoking that good Ooooh Weee…
But again it was a vote of the lesser of 2 evils. Clinton was a breath of fresh air because unlike most of the last 40 US presidents he came from a seemingly modest background. Obama would be great because he has yet to be completely poisoned by the “experience” of being a seasoned US politician. He is new in the fold which means he is not in the pocket of MANY (i bet there are at least a few) lobbyists and BIG COMPANIES. George Bush had no political experience except for his father was President and he was an, AT BEST, decent Governor. We all see the job he did. So those throwing the experience card around need to look at that example. Obama would not be like Bush because he was not bred to give in to companies and to be kept in pocket as all of Bush’s policies have shown he is.
Ok, I’m sorry I can go on this all day. The bottom lines. Just cuz it’s Democrat doesn’t mean it’s ok. I am pro Obama for many reason and I am completely enthralled with the man as well. Remember that when it comes to politics, it always boils down to what is the lesser of the evils.
Preach on Mary J!

Mary you are a complete mess rotflmao! Complete foolishness…but do you!
And why is someone called “Just Sit and be Pretty”? I;m sorry but that is the dumbest screen name I have ever heard.
GREAT ARTICLE BOSSIP!!!
Mary J,
U should charge cyber-admission to your comedy shows b/c you put a smile on many peoples faces
Wow! Hold that thought and pass it on and on. That is a terrific, timely and intelligent endorsement. How on earth did the Clintons ever get so much black support? Was it really Ms Morrison’s moronic and careless comment that Bill was the “first black president”?? How insulting is that, given the truth of his actual record with black people, gays and other so-called minorities. The man never met a compromise he didn’t like and doesn’t give an Arkansas shit who it hurts. Hillary is even worse- now desperate, they’re really calling in the markers for old-time debts- the laughably corrupted “Coke-head Walmart” Young, the official-poet-of-the-world-in-her-own-head Angelou and so many others. They all caved just like all the rest of the Jurassic clay-footed lackeys of all colors and stripes.
Obama ain’t perfect by a long shot, but he truly does represent our only chance at some sort of change. Let’s all try to make it happen– our lives and those who follow us won’t wait.
Also– hooray to all of those– including non-blacks– who have the courage to stand up to the establishment Clintons and their lousy middle-right party– let’s take it over now.
Thanks again for a wonderful endorsement!
You yunguns is talkin foolishness. Vote for jooliany, hes the salvashun for this kuntry. Vote republikan.
Who is jooliany?
HaHa! He means Guiliani, the mayor of New York.
I figured that was the case, but I wanted to hear his silly ass explanation. I know he can spell better than this
It took me a minute to get it, too.lol
well i visit bossip everyday but still gota put that vote in for Ron Paul.
@jaerisk, I actually like Ron Paul. I need to do a bit more research, but I like him so far.
I enjoy coming to this site and reading the comments but I NEVER speak out. After reading some of the anti-Obama messages, I just had leave a comment. I’m so tired of self-hating house niggas shuckin ‘n jivin for whitey. Paul, Hillary, Edwards? c’mon! I have yet to hear from their supporters why I should turn my back on Obama. Bossip, I cannot tell yu how much I appreciate your endorsement of Obama. Black people we need this gentleman to be President!
@ Mary J Blige:
Are you talking about that “beaten to death” “Dumb war” quote from that anti-war rally he was invited to back in 2002 in Chicago? The same one that he uses in the majority of his ads, in order to trick the public, specifically his supporters, into believing he’s an anti-war candidate? Oh, and a few years later, he admitted to “not knowing if I would’ve for the war or not” to the New York Times while refusing to criticize Kerry’s and Hilary’s decision to vote in favor of the war.
You do realize that that particular speech is his SOLE defense at attempting to differentiate himself from the Hilary/Edwards camp, right? And that’s because his war voting record proves his pro petro-imperialistic viewpoint. Afterall, he did vote against a set date to allow the troops to come home, while continuing to vote for more funding!
Oh and… Illinois is and has always been a heavily anti-war state - and yes, even during the build-up of the Iraq war. So there was nothing unpopular about his speech.
Obama or Huckabee..fuck Hillary Clinton…Man the clintons inspire me to run for public office, because if the public can vote the white version of Ike and Tina into office, they’ll put anyone in there…Wait till i’m there.lol and ya’ll think Bush is bad..I wouldn’t show up to one god damn meeting and when I did, i make sure I was in my boxers and that my early morning white T-shirt still had last nites dinner stains on it..
Also, Bossip, you further prove your dumbness by claiming the leadership of Jackson and Young failed.
How could their leadership have failed if they are the ones who paved teh way for Obama? True, their tactics are out-dated, but that doesn’t take away for the fact that they risked their lives for people like Obama to be able to stand in front of millions of White people and influence them.
At least they have been consistent in their anti-war stance.

i really appreciate bossip doing this
great post
Well I think we are giving Hilary a bad shake here. First of all she voted for the Iraq war on false pretenses along with the majority of the senate. Remember, Bush spoke to a joint session of congress at the state of the union and professed the lie to the American people and the world that Iraq obtained some uranium from an African country to make weapons of mass destruction. Which was an out right lie and an impeachable offense in my book! And Your boy Colin Powell was dispatched to carry and continue to tell that lie to the free world! So I don’t know why this is Hilary’s fault if she vote or was duped in to beleiving this lie. And Barack ducked this vote. So let’s vote for this unlectable guy and keep gas at three dollars, high heating bills, increased inflation and high food prices plus another war in Iraq and possibly Syria. And you can thank Rudy for that if Obama is the democratic nominee. African Americans you decide. I’m voting for the good times again, not a skin color!!!
Obama isn’t willing to ruffle any feathers- he’s a run of the mill politician and if he’s isnt in beholden to major corporate interests yet, its because they have’nt needed his ass.
Listen to the things Kuccinch and that crazy senator from alaska say during their debates- the other candidates downplay them because the speak the truth and put the frontrunning dems on blast. I know they probably won’t get real consideration for election but they expose the fakeness of Clinton, Edwards, and Obama.
***SOMEONE YOU DO NEED TO PEEP IS REPUBLICAN RON PAUL TALK ABOUT THE CROOKEDNESS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM(the peole who make your money)***
And for the record I no longer have faith in the dems or the repuclicans or any mainstream politicians to do the will of the people. Its politics.
Oh yeah, Cynthia Mckinney is running for president as an independant or green party- i forgot…but I’ll consider voting for her based on her track record before Obama…
FUCK Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA 2008 PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The point I am getting at is that we need to vote for the right person for the Democratic nomination. If we fail and the Republicans capture the White House we are doomed as a nation for another four years. I don’t think African Americans or any other nationality can endure the mess we have been in for the past six and a half years. It hasn’t gotten any better. Our savings rate is at negative zero. Not zero! Negative zero. That is an embarassment to this great nation. Are you happy with this? Does it sit well with you? That tells you our nation is on the wrong course. We can fix that in the next election. I know that if we were doing good and our nation felt good, im sure our savings rate would be better than that. We can prosper and make our country better again if Democrats capture the White House!
We all support him. It is said her daughter is dating on millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com. Her profile was found on that site last week.
OBAMAO8!!!!!!! Great Post Bossip!! Yea…I knew you guys at Bossip had some type of common sense! OBAMA 2008!
You can be against the war without being in office. I was against the war and the administration’s entire reaction to 911. I was also one of the least popular students in my university at the time. However, none of the college folks who criticized me volunteered to go to Afghanistan or Iraq to fight. Many people who supported war only support with their lips. Perhaps Obama was against the war and making it known in other circles. In any case, he was and still is against Bush and Dick’s Iraq war!
America is supposedly a democracy but the Bush and Clinton families have been in power for over two decades…………
***************************************************
I never even thought of that.
Domestically I think Obama is the peoples choice…internationally the Clintons are well respected and can bring the United States back to the being a relevant factor. Secondly, the Clinton administration had one of the greatest universal healthcare plans that would have moved us further toward designing new social class systems as well as reducing the rate of poverty and hunger.
I applaud Bossip for throwing support for a candidate and requestiing the readers get informed, register to vote, and actually go out to the polls on election day.
Stay blessed!!!
For the record, the closest hood I’ve heard of or seen Obama in was when he was in Atlanta visiting the HBCU’s after his speech…please give me substance, trends he has set, decisions he has made outside of the war…I need to know that he isnt just playing the race card…I need to know he can intelligently handle my issues, world issues, and I think he lacks substance, and all he has been at this point is a name with a fair skin face…WHAT HAS HE ALREADY DONE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY?
You all can vote with Obama(your heart) if you want, but I’m going to go with Hillary (my head) because I truly believe that she is the Democrat that can capture the Presidency.
I mean, forty years ago blacks were still being lynched and you all actually believe Barack Obama is going to be the next president? You all are truly fooling yourselves, a vote for Obama will lead us into another 4 years of a Republican president. Which means more war, famine and poverty. But by all means vote for Obama and see what happens.
@future…let him play the race card…let him do what he’s got to do to win this election. At least he’s intelligent enough to be playing the race card.. Man when are we going to realize these white folks don’t give a damn about no one out of their social class. The clinton’s is as crooked as a paraplegic’s back..Wake up….After he wins we are in there forever..We will take that shit over and actually get some color on the oval office’s wall. I’m talkin pictures of Fredrick Douglass and Ali..get with the program people!
