Chris-

It is so sweet to hear the words of a idealist. Makes one want to sing.

You will wake up from your dream one day.

Make our voices be heard loud and clear if politicians make a move we don't like. How about if they start a war we disagree with? A lot of loud and clear voices spoke out against G.W. Bush.
How about if the only available candidate has absolutely no resume upon which to base a voting decision? My vote meant nothing this year, because the charisma of Barack Obama blinded the majority of voters. That's all he had to sway people was his charisma, there was no resume to look at.

But, it is sweet, to hear a youngster talk in glowing terms about how
the political system of the United States is working so well. Your vote means something. A government for the people, of the people and by the people. Birds sing. Flowers bloom.

There will come a day, and it may be sooner than you want, where you will see the American public vote completely against what you think is right or where your Great Candidate dumps right in the middle of your idealism. When this day comes, remember, I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

One more thing let me clarify my opinion of youth. Ages 18-55.

This election signified something important that hasn't been discussed as of yet. Politics is turning over to youth. Except for the Great Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, Mr. Cafferty,and a few others, of stately age, look who's having all the heated political debates these days from both parties. Young vibrant thoughtful people. Youth who don't see color as a divider any longer. Look as a republican who voted for Obama, (I'm 29 yrs. of age) I just wanted the best selection out of the picks. I feel this is the era we are moving into. No longer will many voters vote within party lines, but will rather blur these lines to find the best candidate. Trust repubs, I know Obama is pro choice, but let's not get caught up in ideology. If any politician makes a move we don't like, we the people have a right to make our voices be heard loud and clear. For the most part I voted for him, b/c unlike Bush, Obama wants to hear the voice of the people.
When I see my young repubs asking where do we go from here, I look at them and say, you are the answer.

I think most of this country's problem is watching CNN, you people seem to drive the panic in the stock market, you have to know your doing it, and I have no doubt you had a large roll in electing Mr.Obama, and now your sticking your nose into the BIG 3, your show is entirely one sided, I am suprised that the powers at be at CNN have so much control over their employees

If the OIL companies made recorded porfit then why can the BIG 3 ask the OIL companies for the money ? Why should the people be left holding the bag. When the OIL companies stand to gain the most if the Big 3 keeps making cars. I sure all companies involed can come up with something. If they put there heads togather.

I am white. How can the black people get over what happened years ago if everyone keeps gloating on the subject? The only thing i WILL say about it is i think it was a horrible way to treat people. I didn`t vote for Barack Obama but i`m willing to give anyone a chance. I have never seen a president in my 58 years do anything to help the middle class people get ahead. People need to understand that anything the president wants to do has to be approved by the senate and the house!! If what`s brought before them takes anything from them , it won`t be passed.

It is not projecting negativity when someone refuses to accept the air of ignorant positivism that this election has caused. Barack Obama is just a man, dispite the idea that he is the Second Coming. He has a big job ahead of him. He made a lot of campaign promises, not the least of which was CHANGE. That is the first promise he has abandoned. There are other promises, including Health Care and Education reform, that he has all but told us he will have to abandon or delay. I, for one, am not going to sit back and, with a warm glow, watch him run this country, without a watchful eye on him.
That is not negativity, that is realism.

Not every Black man is a descendant of slaves. Barack Obama's father was an African, as was his grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. No slaves. Barack Obama's mother was a White woman from Kansas, USA. No slaves, unless someone in her family owned slaves.

BARACK OBAMA IS NOT A DESCENDANT OF SLAVES.

@LONNIE Just an "F.Y.I."....Obama is not "Jami's man," he's OUR man, he's his OWN man, he is, whether YOU like it or not, the president elect. Secondly, Jami can say whatever the heck she WANTS on "The Last Word," it's an editorial. Don't like it? Change channels during that part of her show. I happen to know that a lot of people LIKE her editorials, and a lot agree with them, as well. So although you are entitled to your opinion, it's pretty hypocritical to be espousing yours, while being doggedly nasty about hers. If you want to be free to "speak your piece," then you have to offer others the same unfettered right. Apart from the fact that what you said is comical, as though the Republicans have ever "come through" on all of their "promises." I have a question for YOU....will YOU be "singing the same tune," when he delivers much more than what you expected?
