I am not calling you stupid. I have just tried to explain what I was saying 2 different times and you didn't seem to get it. Do you think that in 2007 Oprah thought that McKinney had a shot in hell of winning? Nope. If she knew Obama and heard him speak she may have realized that he may be different and that he may have a chance. I am not saying that she would have endorsed anyone because they were black, I am saying that in my opinion she would have heavily endorsed and supported the black candidate in order to further his chances. I am saying yes, 100% in my opinion, the fact that he was black had something to do with her support. That is just my opinion. You are free to disagree. She was balling in the audience after Obama won and I am guessing that she wasn't just happy that the guy she supported won, but that he was black. I feel that is a main reason why she supported him so much. Like I said, feel free to disagree with that, stupid. :stickpoke

How is that funny? We all knew Louisiana was going for McCain.

What is funny is that in an office full of McCain supporters, somehow the atmosphere makes me feel that my candidate has lost.

What the Republican party needs to do is get down here and begin prepping Gov. Bobby Jindal for 2012 or 2016. He will be the superstar of the Republican Party.

What the nation saw in Obama, they will see in Jindal...guaranteed.

How is it funny, are you kidding? All the McCain is same as Bush crap Obama shoved then the state that hates Bush votes for McCain :rofl:

I wasn't actually calling you stupid...just having fun with the word stupid, stupid!

I'm sure Oprah was feeling pretty good about the historical implications of an Obama victory.

How could you say that Obama doesn't come from a civil rights background. If you knew your candidate, you would know that he got his start in politics as being apart of a civil rights movement in Chicago. He started his career as a means to help blacks...sounds like civil rights to me:dunno:. One of the first projects that he was a part of was the removal of asbestos from low income housing projects (where primarily blacks lived)...I dont even like the guy but I know his background:rolleyes:

I am sure she was. She had every right to be and you do as well. :thumbup:

Uh, Louisiana is a red state. It voted for Bush twice, and Poppa Bush.

Barack does not come out of the Civil Rights Movement of the south and the 1960's. He is a civil rights advocate, but he did not rise out of that movement.

I know my candidate well and know there is a difference between the Civil Rights Movement and being an advocate for civil rights.

Yep, Louisiana typically votes Democrat on everything except the President from what I have heard.

Did you see all the ghetto blacks from Atlanta (or somewhere like that) dancing and making fools of themselves when barack won:bling: ...
They just care that he is black, and that is really sad:rolleyes:
