Alrighty... lets play "What doesn't belong here..." These are two pictures of a Barack Obama office in Houston, TX. What should not be in these two pictures?

This was in my inbox today: A Black Man Why is it that a Black Man can create a tiny piece called a filament (electric light - Lewis Latimer) That allows people to see in the dark? But can't be seen fit to lead a country to the true light. Why is it that a Black Man can create an instrument (clock - Benjamin Banneker) that all People use to tell time? But people don't think it is time for him to run a country. Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for the high authorities to meet in & a place for the President to live in (The Capital & the White House Phillip Reid (a ****) & Pierre L'Enfant)? But not good enough to lead these meetings or live in himself. Why is it that a Black Man was brilliant enough to do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams) And show the world how to get and preserve plasma (Dr. Charles Drew)? But not good enough to put a program in place where everyone can afford this surgery. Why is it that a Black Man was creative enough to design an instrument (traffic light - Garrett Morgan)? To bring multiple people (traffic) to a halt? But not seen creative enough to design a plan to bring all this unnecessary and worthless fighting between countries to an end. Why is it that a Black Man could create the soles (shoes - Jan Matzeliger) that people walk on everyday? But not seen good enough to fill the shoes of a bad president. Why is it that a Black Man was smart enough & brave enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas & Thomas Fuller - both slaves) and others how to read, write and/or calculate math? But not seen (as) smart enough and bold enough to calculate a platform to be President to a country that sure needs another first by us. So you see my Brothers and Sisters what I am saying is let us not forget our past, Which led us to our present and can definitely be the backbone to our future. We were good enough, smart enough, creative enough, and bold enough then, so; Lets all give Obama the chance to show that we are still these things and more. We all are as strong as our weakest link, so don't be that weak link that denies; Our people that chance to show we still can OVERCOME & BE THE FIRST. Needless to say. Btw, don't take for granted the fact that we're all experiencing and living history in the making.

there is a thing called photoshop...anyone could have did that with the right knowledge of the program I have taken classes in the program for four years of high school and with the two of those pictures. I would be able to add any image to that flag even remove it out of the picture as a whole. Any one could have just phototshop thouse images in and Iam sure Obama had nothing to do with it

I can't believe you people dislike Obama for having a Che poster in his office. Don't get me wrong, I don't support Obama, because I do not think he represents the interests of black people, or working people in general, but for him to have a Che poster in one of his offices makes me dislike him slightly less. I can't believe you people "OMG, Che, thats so bad!"
Here we go with this nonsense of not representing the "black" people Maybe its just me, but im not looking for him to be at every NAACP function and holding rallies like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson He is running for the highest office in the nation. He came from nothing and made something of himself. Maybe people shouldnt be so quick to want him to help "us" out and do for themselves. In my opinion, he does represent the interests of the American people. I dont think any other person running does. Nader and Barr are full of it and McCain is just terrible

This older white guy asked his older black friend, 'Are you voting forBarack Obama just because he's black'? So the older black guy fires back and says, 'Are you not voting for himbecause he's black? Why can't I vote for him just cause he's black? Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause theirblack, passed over for promotions just cause their black, considered tobe criminals just cause their black, but you don't seem to have aproblem with that. This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, andnow a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the samecountry where we weren't even considered to be people. A country wherewe weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains,eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you damn right I'm goingto vote for him! But not just because he's black. But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understandwhen my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows up, it isnot a fairy tale but a short term goal. Now he sees, understand, andknows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he'sblack!
