The point is that you should vote for the candidate that you agree with the most. People shouldn’t vote solely based on race, which the people in this interview are doing. Obama has the African-American community wrapped around his finger.

1.I think anyone who has seen Jay Leno’s famous interviews of people on the street who were asked some the simplest questions of politics and current events are not surprised when people on the street are interviewed.
2 the interviewer was a con artist who used sleight of tongue to misdirect people, he went to the area with a certain goal in mind.
3. we have no idea how many actual people were even interviewed, or for that matter, if the people interviewed were not “plants”. Stern, the the rep. party- knows how to appeal to white folks most base natures. what i find funny is that people would use howard stern as a good source for political surveys.
4. black support for the democrats has been in the high 50’s-90’s since fd roosevelt, all white in the past, now black voters will vote for a black democrat in the high 90’s proving they are racist??? that line of reasoning is foolish.

As a black women living in this country can’t say that I was surprised to read the above comments. It just proves how ignorant and narrow minded people of all races can be. Judging an entire race of people on the words of a few members they just happened to hear or see through the media. There are ignorant closed minded people of every race. Your comments prove that. Thanks for your shining examples of how far we have come as human beings and our abilities to move forward for the common good-yea right.

Wake up people!!! If you go ANYWHERE on the streets of NY, you will find many people of all ethnicities who don’t know the facts about politics or anything else in the news. Jay Leno does it all the time on his show. And black people didn’t just begin voting in 2008-so what was their motive in all the previous elections?

It’s interesting that a reporter for Howard Stern ask people from Harlem
who they wanted for President and they all said,
“Obama”. Which is not surprising at all.

But what is surprising is they were asked about policies and issues that McCain supported not letting them know these weren’t Obama’s views and they agreed with all the issues.

They agreed because they thought these were Obamam’s views. It probably wouldn’t have mattered what the reporter said they would have agreed with anything said as they thought these must be the views of their candidate Barack Obama.

They just wanted to vote for Obama because they liked that he was from the African American race. Nothing else mattered to them.

The whole world dislikes America for the senseless, soul-destroying show piece that is party politics. What other decent, developed country would fall into mindless sloganeering, tribalism and other p;ayground tactics? But hey, whenever I lose faith in the dirty tactics on display I can at least take solace in the fact that none of the electoral process matters, as it can always be stolen by the party with the best lawyers and the right politicians round their fingers.

Arab Muslim terrorists hate America because of Hollywood liberal democrat values.

Despite the difficulties of our political process, it’s the fairest process in the world, so we make do, and your vote counts when a lot of others agree with you.

Hussein Obama? You aren’t even using first names anymore in your thinly veiled attempt to align Obama with Islamic fundamentalists? The Republicans need to find a new scapegoat, as fear of the Middle Eastern man is a tired excuse to reign in a new era of company men.

***HG says***

Fools like you are the reason Arab Muslim terrorists hate America. Muslims are extreme conservatives. The only reason a Muslim would run as a liberal is because liberals are so easy to manipulate.

Yeah because god knows all the inbread bible belt rednecks are voting for McCain because they agree
with where he stands on important issues. LOL!

A redneck is a man educated in agriculture who farms. His neck is red because the sun burns the exposed skin on his neck above his shirt collar. Farms generally have multi million dollar budgets, and employ a lot of people, as well as providing necessary food for the rest of the country. Since farmers work from before sun up to after sun down, they are usually conservative in many of their values, because they want a better life for their children, and they realize bad behavior can waste a life they work so hard to achieve. The word redneck used to be a word of respect, but city dwelling elites have turned the meaning of that word into the equivalent of an uneducated hillbilly. The disrespect, and lack of cultural understanding by elitists like yourself, is the reason you are not liked by hard working rednecks.
