Barack Obama more votes than total

Following on from our post the other day that informed you of the South Carolina Democratic Primary results live as they came in, those results showed that Barack Obama won by more votes than what all the other Candidates had together.

This is a major victory for Barack Obama on his quest for the US Democratic presidential nomination, he routed his close rival Hillary Rodham Clinton last Saturday night and now they are focusing on what’s next (including the upcoming Super Tuesday on February 5th).

The results ended with Barack Obama getting 295,091 votes (55%), Hillary Clinton 141,128 votes (27%) and John Edwards with 93,552 (18%).

Super Tuesday could make or break anyone of these Presidential Candidates on February 5th.

    Its confirmed in SC, Obama is the black special-interest only candidate. SC only showed that Obama proved true to his racist church. Its was black voters ONLY that gave him the un-impressive win in SC. Michelle Obama has been stumping throwing our racial comments last few months but media refuses to report or print. That worked in a mostly black voter state (SC), wont work anywhere else, obamas have spent months chasing black voters from the Clintons and distanced himself from ALL white and Hispanics voters, again, showing he isn’t too smart at making decisions and proven he doesn’t have the ability to look ahead, but in his favor, no one said he was smart, just able to give a black inspirational speech that’s written for him.. He is def not the uniter he and the media claimed. It was no surprise he won SC… Now let’s move on to the not so racist primaries…Obama is an embarrassment to the U.S. His idea of change is going back to racial divisions of the 60′s…He is a fairy tale in politics…Not experienced, no substance, now all he and Michele offer is skin color to the 1/3 of the American voters…BIG MISTAKE. More and more proof this guy couldn’t lead his way of a paper bag…
    Obama supporters wake up. Obama is running a racist campaign.

    Obama’s camp compared their victory over Clinton in Iowa to OJ’s murder of his wife.

    That was waaaaaay back in January. And the media covered it up!

    **(Ms. Obama, vice-president for external affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals, putting out feelers indicating she’d like to get some corporate management experience.” As if working for a hospital that charges uninsured minorities 5.4 times as much for drugs as Whites with insurance isn’t enough cold hearted corporate experience. Plus she cause hundreds to loose their 11.hr jobs she said to be more efficent)

    In 2005, she was also elected to the board of directors of west suburban Westchester-based TreeHouse Foods, which calls itself the nation’s largest pickle and pepper supplier. For that, she received $12,000 and $33,000 from a subsidiary.
    On Nov. 26, it announced plans to close its La Junta, Colo. plant, a move that claimed the jobs of 153 workers, most of them Hispanic — a big blow to a rural town with only 9,500 residents. The jobs paid a starting wage of $11 an hour, good pay for the area. I share the sentiment. Companies that pay top execs tens of millions a year while squeezing the little guys on the production line or in the back office are destroying middle-class America.
    Which raises a question — not about corporate values but about Mr. Obama’s values. Specifically, while Mr. Obama bashes Wal-Mart, why does his wife, Michelle, make $45,000 a year serving on the board of a Chicago-area company that pays its executives a very hefty amount of money while laying off mostly minority workers in an economically deprived area, a company whose No. 1 customer is — you guessed it — Wal-Mart? In early 2005, Texas-based Dean Foods Co. spun off its processed-food subsidiary into an independent company, TreeHouse Foods Inc. Stock in Westchester-based TreeHouse began trading on June 15, 2005. Elected to its board of directors on June 6 of that year was Michelle Obama, who receives $30,000 a year plus $1,500 per board or committee meeting she attends. That totaled $45,000 in 2005, according to Mr. Obama’s Senate ethics disclosure. Ms. Obama got 7,500 stock options this year, company filings show. At the current price of TreeHouse stock, she has a paper profit of about $60,000 on the options.

  • Obama a joke for U.S.

    Obama’s spiritual adviser, J Wright gave Trumpeter Award to a man it said “truly epitomized greatness. Louis Farrakhan. maybe for Wright and some others, Farrakhan “epitomized greatness.” For Americans, Farrakhan epitomizes racism, particularly in the form of anti-Semitism. Over the years, he has compiled an awesome record of offensive statements, even denigrating the Holocaust by falsely attributing it to Jewish cooperation with Hitler “They helped him get the Third Reich on the road.” His history is a rancid stew of lies. Any praise of Farrakhan heightens the prestige of the leader of the Nation of Islam. His anti-Semitism and particularly his false insistence that Jews have played an inordinate role in victimizing African Americans.
    Farrakhan’s dream has vilified whites and singled out Jews to blame for crimes large and small, either committed by others as well or not at all. (A dominant role in the slave trade, for instance.) He has talked of Jewish conspiracies to set a media line for the whole nation. He has reviled Jews in a manner that brings Hitler to mind. And yet Wright heaped praise on Farrakhan. According to Trumpet, he applauded his “depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation.” He praised “his integrity and honesty.” He called him “an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose.” These are the words of a man who prayed with Obama just before the Illinois senator announced his run for the presidency. Will he pray with him just before his inaugural?
    The New York Times recently reported on Obama’s penchant while serving in the Illinois legislature for merely voting “present” when faced with some tough issues. Farrakhan, in a strictly political sense, may be a tough issue for him. This time, though, “present” will not do.
