Said the mogul formerly known as Puffy amid a crowd of about 800 at the Chester Robinson Athletic Center at Florida Memorial University: “It’s bigger than us. We have to do it for our children, we have to do it for the people that died for us to have the right to vote.”
The event was more of a campaign rally than hip-hop extravaganza. None of the artists actually performed on stage, instead using their time to stump for Democratic nominee, Barack Obama.

Oh gee, I wonder if they would have been doing all this if Barack weren’t black? Hilary had an identical political platform. But I doubt that Diddy would be rapping for her. This is a strange form of racism I think. It’s like you can’t not vote for Barack because he is black but you can vote for him because he is black. It is a total double standard. Mary J looks like a guy.

yeah, how important is to appeal to Joe the plumber the white non middle class ( 250 000 does not represent middle class) as a the key of a platform, or the core of the republican Party: Sarah Palin that appeals to all the rural ignorant hate of science and academia fear bible lovers that well happen to be white!
That is one of the problems with republicans! they can not see the shit they are standing on, and dare to call others for that!
The democratic party under Obama has managed to bring people from rural and urban centers, from black nd white backgrounds. Only those that fear integration are pointing to this as an “issue” to fear…another one? fearful ignorant hypocritical idiots: that’s the republican party.

…About spreading the wealth around — isn’t that what taxes have always been? Only non-taxpayers should have a problem with the idea of spreading the wealth.
And with all the Republicans supposedly being christians, all I have to say is, “I am my brother’s keeper,†remember that, you hypocrites? Sure, stop people from getting abortions in the name of Christ, but when it comes to “when I was hungry you fed me, and when I was naked you clothed me,†it’s “you’re on your own, to hell with you, make your own.â€
And when you’re all old and broke and eating dog food because of this economy, you’ll be glad to have me around willingly paying my taxes to pay YOUR way, and you won’t even thank me for spreading MY wealth, will you, because I’m not white, christian, or republican, and I despise you even though I gladly pay my taxes to help take care of all you bigoted, ignorant pigs.
Because yes, I am my brother’s keeper, even if you’re my idiot brother.
Nicolas, are you dumb? wtf are you saying? racism? against who?
you idiot!
Your aunt, Obama, has been living in a slum for five years and your brother is living in a hut in Kenya, and yet you say, ‘I am my brother’s keeper’. This kind of stuff matters to me because there are so many people in this country who think Obama is going to take care of them.
Barack Obama, who made an effort to go to his church every Sunday for 20 years, said, ‘I never heard Wright say all that stuff.’ Once again, folks, common sense and reality somehow escape Obama, and yet he gets away with creating an illusion that people somehow swallow.
Get this:
Barry IF HE WINS - will NOT keep in tact the Bush tax cut…and it expires 2010.
Be prepared people - -Your taxes will damn near double.
Research it
Oh also, Barry stated also - that he will BANKRUPT the coal industry!

Obama Says He Is Against Same-Sex Marriage

But wasnt he for it about a month ago?
yeah, thats what I thought also.
I used to support Sen. Obama, but you have to pay attention to what he says. He says, “I’ll consider offshore drilling” and “I’ll consider nuclear power,” but the truth is, he already has, and he won’t. Sen. McCain will tell you where he stands, because he rather lose an election than deceive the American people. Sen. Obama says he’ll go through government with a scalpal, and cut out wasteful spending. He ridicules Sen. McCain for taking what he calls a “hatchet” to our wasteful spending problem. The truth is, Sen. Obama won’t find a special-interest thing he’d like to trim, and he won’t find a pork he thinks should be cut. Senator McCain will cut all of them, because the truth is, our government is spending too much. If Senator Obama truly opposes something, he wouldn’t put a “but” in it. He has personally dismissed small-town American values as “bitterness” and “clinging” to their second-amendment civil right, and their first-amendment civil right of faith. His running mate has personally dismissed tax-opposition as “unpatriotic,” and Sen. Obama has personally called people who oppose tax-hikes as “selfish.” Indeed, if Sen. Obama truly was against something, he would leave no room for the opposing opinion to debate as equals in terms of love for our country.

….think about it.
Would the country’s collective point of view be different?
Could racism be the culprit?
Ponder the following:
What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to painkillers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five? (The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.)
What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
What if Obama couldn’t read from a teleprompter?
What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing planes?
What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?
What if Michelle Obama’s family had made their money from beer distribution?
You could easily add to this list.
If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
