Obama Calls His Win A “Sign of Enormous Growth in This Country”
At a town hall meeting in Southwest Virginia this morning, Barack Obama described the 16 month long, 54 contest race for the Democratic nomination “historic” while praising Hillary Clinton as a worthy opponent.
The nation’s first African American candidate for president also shared his thoughts on his monumental feat. “I stand before you as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America. I’m very proud of that. I’m very proud of that, and I’m proud of America for giving me this opportunity because obviously we all know that it’s a sign of enormous growth in this country. But we’ve still got work to do. Just winning the nomination is not the endpoint. The end point isn’t even winning the general election. The endpoint is making your lives better. That’s the reason that we are in this, that’s why we’re in this auditorium here today,” he said.
The candidate also announced today that the DNC will adopt the Obama campaign’s policy on refusing contributions from federal registered lobbyists and PACs. Said Obama, “Going forward the Democratic National Committee will uphold the same standard, we will not take a dime from Washington lobbyists or special interest PACS – we’re going to change how Washington works. They will not fund my party, they will not run our White House, and they will not drown out the voice of the American people when I am president of the United States of America.”

If people knew what they know now about Obama, Hillary would have creamed him. This guy has relations, associates with people, even hires people for his VP search committee that are serious causes of concerns. He associates with left-wing radicals, terrorists, etc.
I don’t think so…..the only reason he is where he is now is that the voters at the beginning did not really know him and it was a “shot in the dark”. Since that time 1/2 way thru the primary when everything started to come out then his fortunes changed but too late for Clinton. Obama remains the single most far left liberal person in the senate and we still know little about him. Any republican with his associations would not have gotten anywhere in politics let alone where Obama is now…..shows just what people did not know about him. This has been a voter scam from the very beginning and you see now what has resulted from such.
I agree with the following statements made by a retired Colonel. Please read!
Here ARE STRONG, POWERFUL AND COURAGEOUS WORDS COMING FROM A RETIRED COLONEL. AND READ WHAT LINCOLN HAD TO SAY AT THE END. WOW!
33 Senators Voted Against English as America ’s Official Language on June 6, 2007.

Senators:
Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348….to make English America ’s official language is astounding. On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock, character and principles of America , I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens. I don’t much care where you come from. What your religion is. Whether you’re black, white, or some other color…male or female…… Democrat, Republican or Independent. …… But I do care when you are a United States Senator representing Citizens of America ….and Vote against English as the official language of the United States Your vote reflects Betray al . Political Surrender. Violates Your Pledge of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism. Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator… Impeachment… Recall… Or other appropriate action is warranted.
Four of you voting against English as A merica ’s Official Language are Presidential Candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.
Four Senators vying to lead America, but won’t or Don’t have the courage to cast a vote in favor of ‘English’ as America ’s Official Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as ‘political Hacks’….. Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will literally ‘rock you out of your panties’…. ….. And preferably totally out of the United States Senate. The entire immigration bill is a farce… Your action only confirms this really isn’t about America ….it is about self-serving politics…. ..despicable at best.
It has been said: ‘Never Argue with an Idiot….They’ll drag you down to their level!’
PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
‘Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or Hanged!!!
Amazed and apalled that people or so called democrats can be so selfish that they would forget what McCain stands for and would consider voting for this killer of young adults. I fought in the first Gulf War. I also fought for the US in Somalia. In total I spent 8 years in the military and under no circumstances would I ever,ever vote for a person that looks at war and conflict as a means to an end.
Real soldiers never want to earn their checks. This person(McCain) can not wait to send the youth of our great country to their deaths in this trumped up war. For all the mistakes made in politics and to not learn anything from 7.5 years of strife under the Bush regime makes me sad to call any of you that support this would be murderer my countrymen.
Get over the loss. Hillary knew this would be rough. Hillary knew the stakes when she put her pantsuit in the ring. She gave as good as she got and there is NO SHAME in her failing to get the nomination. She is a fantastic person and leader and the party is lucky to have her. But, Hillary and the Clinton’s have done enough for this country. 20 years is long enough to serve. It is time to take the next step forward. Not 4 steps back.
Obama 08
Oh I thought it was enormous stupidity.
Obama needs to direct that message to all the black churches in this great country of ours. His church is not an aberation. It’s all over this country, and the black community gets away with it. I challenge Obama to make a Bill Cosby speech, especially to his wife.
It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for him.
Gee, thanks Barack, now you’ve told us knuckledraggers that with your nomination, we’re finally making progress on the civilization front. And only a few days ago, you told us maybe, just maybe, future generations will mark your election as the start of us taking care of our kids and our environment.
Maybe you need to be told that despite our imperfections, America started making progress on these fronts long before you came to the scene. You’re a smart guy; do you know what “hubris” means?
IT IS INDEED AND AMERICA SHOULD BE A VERY PROUD NATION THIS WEEK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE RENEWED RESPECT THE WHOLE WORLD IS ACCORDING THE THIS COUNTRY ALREADY TODAY.
We should be all proud as a nation.
Enormous growth is not being reflected by voting for Obama but it does reflect enormous stupidity to vote for a totally inexperienced individual like Obama who he and his wife apparently do not have much respect for white people, small town America people and this great country in general. Apparently the Obama’s feel very strongly about that except when it comes to going before the camera. They both make sure they’re now standing in front of a stage lined with flags before a crowd of white people who represent a great deal of small town America. How transparent.
This man called white people typical. small town America bitter and couldn’t even manage to put his hand on his heart during the national anthem!
Some Americans needs to grow a brain, especially our young people.
Stop and think about who and what he really is all about.
God Bless America!

need somenone tom explain to me how the news is reporting that a black man has been nominated to run for president.BHO is not black his mother is white
Yes, he did make history as the first man of a mixed race to be named a candidate for president. The media doesn’t seem to call things as they really are.
I hope Sen. Obama chooses a woman for VP - just not Hillary - That would be poetic payback for the way she has trashed him and treated him on his victory
Should read what most blogs say”This is the worst day in American history”
He is so phony and smug. I will not listen to anything he has to say. He has proven himself to be one of the biggest liar this country will ever see. God help us.
So I guess Rev. Wright, Jackson, Sharpton can stop with the whitey keeping the blackman down routine. It is tiresome at the least.
This guy has to be the most arrogant man in the universe. It is actually amazing how arrogant and self important he and his wife are. Out of 300 million people in this country, and Obama and McCain is the best that we could come up with? I will vote for none of the above.
All the democrat’s “Earmarks” will make us Americans pretty Fat on all the “Pork” they’ll be dishing out once they get Obama in there to Sign “everything” …they’ll get all the money they want from Us Taxpayers. Once again we see…not All Change is “Good” Change.
McCain ‘-08
Keep America…America
Heard on the news three days ago that, over the past 15 years, while “Rev.” Wright has been spewing his hate-filled, racist, anti-American, anti-white speeches, and Obama has been “not-hearing” any of that, their “church”, which recently gave a Lifetime Achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, has quietly been the recipient of $15,000,000 of our tax dollars! They are probably still getting it!
How’d they arrange to get that much of our tax money, who set that up, do you think? Separation of church and state? Has that been repealed? Do you think anybody should ask Obama if he had anything to do with getting that “church” this money? If he didn’t, who did? Shouldn’t we know?
its more like a sign of the end times.
Sorry, but Obama’s win only shows how naive and stupid many Democrat voters are, by choosing a candidate that has never authored any significant legislation, has very little experience, and who says really stupid things when the teleprompters are turned off.
When people stop calling Obama a “Black man” instead of the more accurate term “mixed-race”, and remember that Andrew Jackson was in fact the first mixed-race candidate, perhaps they will also realize what a naive socialist they have nominated.
I disagree. It seems like race relations have been set back decades. The 99% Black support for Obama that the media keeps hawking hasn’t helped. No matter what the Dems say, there was also a good deal of sexism shown. Then there was the annointing of Obama by the party early on which was a big mistake - it only drove many Dem supporters to the other side. These voters are serious and won’t “fall in line” like the Dems expect. Then there is FL & MI who felt strongly about the race but felt cheated. It is too late for unity and the party leaders caused it.
Growth of The Democratic Machine.
Growth on a Divided Nation.
Obama’s true slogan, “Divide and Conquer”
its more like a sign of the end times.
Obama’s campaign was the biggest political scam in american history….no one at the beginning of the primary was aware of his true background…only after a close look into his associations were anyone truely aware what he represented.
He can’t even use a cohesive sentence!
