The latest national poll has Obama splitting the old man’s wig:

Over all, the poll found that if the election were held today, 53 percent of those determined to be probable voters said that they would vote for Mr. Obama and 39 percent said they would vote for Mr. McCain. The McCain campaign’s recent angry tone and sharply personal attacks on Senator Barack Obama appear to have backfired and tarnished Senator John McCain more than their intended target, the latest New York Times/CBS News poll has found.

After several weeks in which the McCain campaign unleashed a series of harsh political attacks on Mr. Obama, trying to tie him to a former 1960s radical, among other things, the poll found that voters see Mr. McCain as waging a more negative campaign than Mr. Obama. Six in 10 of those surveyed said that Mr. McCain had spent more time attacking Mr. Obama than explaining what he would do as president; by the same margin voters said Mr. Obama was spending more of his time explaining than attacking.

It’s a little late in the game for the old man to be down this much and come back. No Cents, Jesse Jackson, and other useless negroes will have to bow down, there is a new star in town. Someone (Michelle too) we can be proud of and encouraged if our kids want to be like him.

Don’t get too excited, get your a*s up and vote November 4, people are known to lie when being asked who they would vote for. The ‘Bradley Effect’ is real.

Myblockz is reporting that Castro is surprised that racists haven’t lit up Obama yet:

Castro wrote in a commentary that appeared on the website Cubadebate on Saturday, “Profound racism exists in the United States,” as he weighed in on the US presidential race ahead of the November 4 election. “Millions of whites cannot reconcile in their minds with the idea that a black man with his wife and children would move into the White House, which is called just like that — White,” he wrote. He added that it was a “pure miracle” the Illinois senator, who became the first black politician to win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, had not been assassinated thus far. The ailing Cuban communist leader, who handed power to his brother Raul earlier this year, described Obama as a politician who “has the habit of looking at his opponent with serenity and laughing at his rhetorical attacks.” Castro’s comments came as a war of words with racial undertones marked the US White House race after civil rights icon John Lewis accused Republican candidate John McCain of sowing “hatred” against Obama, who is developing a commanding lead in opinion polls. Castro also mocked McCain’s poor grades at the naval academy and said Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin “knew nothing at all about anything.”

It may not sit well with folks that he has given voice to what many people are already thinking, but the fact remains that the Secret Service have been guarding the man since the very day he announced his run. Once he wins, pasties are going to lose their mother f*cking minds and you can always count on some of them to do some ho sh*t.

“Obama Bin Lyin’ has been a popular theme at some recent McLame rallies that seem to be taking on a “KKK, where is the ni*ga at” vibe.

Fill in The Blank: Governor Palin, McCain, and some of their “mob-like” supporters have you thinking_____________________.

SMH at the old lady’s wig. Not only does she need to stop watching Faux and pick up a book, she needs to use that SSI check and hook her wig up

Is it just us or does McCain supporter James T. Harris sound like a slave, the 2.0 version. It’s ok if one of us supports McCain but damn, this guy acts like he is on a modern-day plantation. Here is his negro behavior yesterday at a McCain rally in Wisconsin:

Listen, want to say first of all, God Bless you Governor Palin, you are barracuda, we need that, I would also like to say Senator, God Bless you and for your leadership.”Senator, at the convention, you asked for us to fight, for you,” said the supporter. “I doubt there’s anyone in this room that’s, pardon me, taken the ass whoopin’ I have taken for supporting you, and for supporting your policies.” Sir, I believe that, the next coming debate, it is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama; that you hit him where it hits … The soft spot, We have the Good reverend Wright, we have all these shady characters around Obama, I am begging you sir, I am begging you, take it to him” he said, drawing another round of audience applause. McCain crossed the stage and hugged the man.

“Thank you,” said the senator. “Thank you for your courage. I believe your reward will be in heaven, not here on Earth.”

Barack Obama speaks on kicking the habit in the November issue of Men’s Health:

“There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again,” Obama tells the November issue of Men’s Health. “But I figure, seeing as I’m running for president, I need to cut myself a little slack.”

The Democratic candidate, 47, has this recommendation for would-be quitters: Eliminate “certain key connections – that first cigarette in the morning, or after a meal, or with a drink,” he says.

The presidential candidate stress must be a motherf*cker. Probably needs a little more than a stogie to get through that ish. SMH.

Barack is on the upcoming Source cover as well:

The albino bonobo, John McCain, got his ass beat up again in the debate last night:

Fifty-four percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey conducted after the debate ended said that Obama did the best job in the debate, with 30 percent saying Sen. John McCain performed better.

According to the poll, 64 percent had a favorable opinion of Obama after the debate, up 4 points from before the event. Fifty-one percent of those polled had a favorable opinion of McCain after the debate, unchanged from before its start.

A majority said Obama seemed to be the stronger leader during the debate, 54 percent to 43 percent, and by a more than 2-to-1 ratio — 65 percent to 28 percent — viewers thought Obama was more likable during the debate.

YES WE CAN!!!

Barack Obama addresses Vibe readers:

In a letter to be published in the November issue, the Democratic presidential candidate is given a page to address the readers of the urban music monthly magazine. In it, Obama urges them to register to vote, saying, “We are at a defining moment in our history. I am running for president to take this country in a new direction. But I can’t do it alone. I need you,” the letter reads. “Whether it’s the first time, or the first time in a long time, I need you to register and vote on November 4.”

It doesn’t get any more blatant than writing a letter directly to people. The man needs help from all of us to take the presidency and to have the type of impact he is speaking about once he gets there. If you don’t care enough to get behind him, no sweat; it’s only the future of this country that’s at stake!

They’ve resorted to targeting the next generation:

The Jackson County School Board has taken action against a teacher who apparently made racial commentary on presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to parents and students in Greg Howard’s seventh-grade social studies class, Howard on Friday, Sept. 26 asked the class a question regarding Obama’s call for change, and proceeded to write out what the letters C-H-A-N-G-E stood for. “She told me that he wrote on the board ‘Can You Help A (expletive) Get Elected, and then laughed about it,” said Shelia Christian, a mother of one of Howard’s students. Jackson County Superintendent Danny Sims said that description of this incident was “pretty accurate.” Sims said Howard apparently repeated the action in more than one class, having made the comment in “a couple of periods.” According to a news release from the school board, Howard was suspended with pay on Monday, Sept. 29.

The only surprising thing here should be the fact that this jackass was stupid enough to do this in front of his students. We have a feeling there might some CHANGE coming for Mr. Howard like change of address, change of income, and change of appearance, if some Obama fanatics get a hold of him. You oughtta be ashamed of yourself for trying to infect the minds of those young children. That’s why they tattle-told on your stupid ass!
