George Washington was born in Virginia. And apparently Obama was not vetted when he became a Senator. Until now, nobody has had the nerve to try to pull a fast one on the U.S. government. Even the California Governor Swarstenegar voluntarily said no when people tried to get him to run as presidnet because he knew he wasn't born here. People need to check their facts before they spout off on the internet.

The Republician Party is not dead yet. We can change, improve and get better and become the voice of the people of the USA again just reaching out and listening up to the true needs of all the people of this great land. George Washington was born a citizen of England in Westmoreland, Virgina. Check it out Dad.

Democracts could care less for blacks and I am not ashamed to say it . Republicans care for all Americans [ Rich people are 2 ]. Democracts support Gay MArriage which many blacks oppose and abortions which many blacks oppose . Look at the history of the two parties and u will see Republicans are better .

While I am a staunch African-American democrat, I do listen to opposing views and respect the rights of them to have those views. However, I would be very interested in knowing whether or not any of the 15 famous black Republicans "crossed over" to vote for the now President-elect Barack Obama and what are their views concerning him.

I am a Black Rep[ublican and am damn proud, maybe if more Blacks joined our voices would be heard in the party. By the way the Democrats do not care either but our people keep voting for them and for what, they still go home to their all white neighborhoods and send their kids to all white privae schools and do not expose them to Blacks so they too stereotype us and are racist.
