What makes Obama's presidential nomination so historical?!?

Question

I have to write an essay for my college english class and I was looking for some more details about him and his campaign besides he is half black!!! Im not an idiot!

Answer 1

He's got the ultra-right wing so scared they'll say anything.

Answer 2

The unvarnished socialism of it all, and the whole messiah complex thing.

Answer 3

He is the first black.  Don't hate.

Answer 4

Answer 5

He's African-American. Do you know anything about your country?

Answer 6

He's half black.

Answer 7

He's a Black dude whose gonna be head of the white house.

Answer 8

Because he is the first man to lead a major party ticket for President that is not solely white.  He is multi-racial.

Answer 9

???

This is a joke, right?

Trolling...?

Answer 10

Uh,where have you been?

-He's a minority

-He's attracted the largest crowds

-He's attracted the most first time and new voters

-His campaign has raised more money

...that should get you started. OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Answer 11

The media make it historical....That's all. Obama is just a phenomenon, without media's shield, he's a young senator without real experience who doesn't know his own country. Thank you CNN.

I love Obama's supporters, "He is black", "He's half black", I don't care about his color, it's not the question, the real question is Can he deliver ? According to his own VP....No ! Think twice or don't vote.

Answer 12

He's the first one to run for President that has followed a racist Pastor for over 20 years.

Answer 13

because obama is the first black and first socialist to be nominated by a major party for president of the USA.

Answer 14

His race is their sole point. There is nothing else about him to back.

Answer 15

It is historic because it's unparalleled in American history. But only race-wise. Obama is just regurgitating the same drivel that the Democrats have been pushing since FDR's New Deal. He sounded like a Roosevelt-style Marxist in his speech last night.

Although I recognize that it's "historical," I hate using that word because it implies that his race matters. It doesn't. Also, I didn't grow up in the Civil Rights era. I was born in the '80s. I never thought for a second that a black man or a woman couldn't be whatever they wanted to be because I was born in the post-Civil Rights Movement period. So, when people who are much older than I am (40s, 50s, 60s) tell me how amazing this is, I just don't get it. I knew it was only a matter of time, so I don't feel surprised.

Answer 16

He is the most inexperienced candidate ever... and oh yeah... he's black.

Answer 17

because they told you it is......

Answer 18

for people that are trying to fullfill the dream of Martin Luther King, there is nothing historic about his nomination at all.  Just another lousy democrat pick.

Answer 19

Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge all had black ancestory.

Answer 20

Nothing.  All he did was quote a lot of other people.  But since the liberal media is in love with him, they will sugar coat everything he say and does to make it sound better than what it really is.

Answer 21

Don't you mean Hysterical???

Answer 22

On account of him being a colored fellow, I guess... and on account of him being the most extremist candidate ever to be nominated by a major party.

Answer 23

You must be from a different country

Answer 24

It will be the first time we have a very outspoken woman who does not conform as the first lady.

Answer 25

The sad human perception of colour making a difference.

Answer 26

because he is half black. that has never happened before

Answer 27

Its the first half white half black politician nominated for president.

He will carry the national debt above $10,000,000,000,000.00

*thats 10 trillion ~ its at 9 right now

He will introduce the national id card

He will bring the annual federal budget up from

$3,100,000,000,000.00 ($3.1 trillion) to no less than

$4,000,000,000,000.00 ($4 trillion)

*the federal budget was $1 trillion in 1990

*devided among workers in america, that is about

$27,000.00 per worker annually in federal govt expendature

He will most likely get us signed in on some unconstitutional protection agreement with various countries on the other side of the planet - which will cost hundreds of billions.

*give me thumbs down. folks dont like to talk about government size, cost, power, and national debt. if you dont talk about it, it simply does not exist.
