Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s post-caucus party sounded more like a soccer match than a political celebration after the first-term senator from Illinois was declared the winner in Iowa’s Democratic caucus.
“O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma” they yelled.
Then they began chanting what has become the unofficial slogan of the campaign:
“Fired Up”
“Ready to go”
Over and over and over again.

When is reuters and all the other news outlets and Wolf and Lou and Bill and cnn and so-on and so-on including Obama himself quit refering to this man as BLACK. His mother is lilly white! 50/50 is 1/2!This man at is 1/2 WHITE and 1/2 BLACK. He can’t become the first BLACK president because he is not BLACK. It takes a black mother and a black father to be black, PERIOD!
- Posted by Ty MorganOk so what does this prove? People in Iowa aren’t very smart. But hey it’s Iowa what did you exspect? I was hoping to vote Democratic again but if Obama gets the ticket I will have no recourse but move to Republican side. No one ever heard of this guy and then all of a sudden he says “Hey I wanna be President”. Even with bad publicity at least you can get familar with a canadite. How they handle the situation. But this was unknown. I don’t trust him…he doesnt look trustworthy. Oh but Oprah supports him. Yea there’s a shocker for us. I was really hoping for a Democratic president but if Obama’s the choice then I won’t vote Democratic.
- Posted by PiperI am so proud of Obama. As far as I’m concerned this is one of the greatest days in American history. By the way, I am an slightly conservative independent white middle aged man who also happens to be an Iraqi vet. So you may think I would not feel this way. Obama reminds me of Abraham Lincoln - he is potentially a man for the ages. He has a great vision and most important a sincerity about him that stands head and shoulders above the other contenders. I pray to our Lord that he wins - he will unite this country and bring it to a new level of evolutionary development and peace as never seen before.
