There is genetic evidence that we are all descended from one african female living about 150,000 years ago - thats right ALL of us every single human being on the planet. As I myself am 'white english' and my partner is 'black afro-caribbean' we took our stance for total racial equality more than forty years ago! We personally (and our now grown children) fiercely object and protest any racially based distinctions we encounter anywhere. There is no need for governments or employers to categorise people by race nationality colour or current social/community standing. To our knowledge our kids have british caribbean scot welsh and german ancestry, and probably french as well. We cheered the american election results and regard it as the US finally coming of age! I urge everyone to reply to racial enquiries on forms as 'human' and to religious ones as 'I am God what do you mean?' Such things are nobody's business but your own, the tax man or your employer do not have any legitimate reason to demand such information from you. Why is this relevant to Obama? Because our small influence on the world has helped bring about this overdue advance for humanity.

Whether he planned it or not, he is the essence of cohesiveness. There could be no better person to unite this country, just by being who he is, a blend of black and white, velvet and steel. Not only does he personify Lincoln's values, he is finishing what Lincoln started and was aborted from accomplishing. We must set our intention to keep O'bama's safety at the top of our meditation and prayer lists. We will not have this opportunity for growth and achievement coming around again any time soon. No more "the good die young" or kowtowing to some shadow government who never has our best interests in mind. Love him or hate him, Obama is the evolutionary leap we have all been waiting for.

Sounds like a gross fabrication to me! Seems like you just can't believe anything that's printed in the New York Times anymore! The media (i.e., liberal-leaning) will invent just about anything to make it seem like Obama (a politician who has accomplished nothing meaningful yet, except get elected to an office) is some sort of Saviour. I think what is more significant to students might be the role-modeling of their parents, rather than whatever Obama does or doesn't do/say. It all seems like a hunk of phooey to me. Hmmmmhhhh!

Join the mind group conscious that is forming the power pack of energy that will maintain him (Pres. Obama) in this position do so. Let us consciously create a common vibrational "power pack" for his benefit and utimately for us all, and change WILL happen IT MUST for the group mind dictates. We may see him stumble make some missteps, but thats all right we do have the power to re-create and change yes even our Physical reality as a nation, a people, citizens of this dimension. Here what I do feel about Mr. Obama, is his sincerity to try do the right thing, hold the right kinda of agendas and policies! Abolish polarity as a the status quo. The whole world must face change. He has changed the way our government will forever be run. The Obama effect is strong because as a first it has all of our attention, we are generating energy of some kind towards this Presidency so why not make it a positive one so that change can really begin to happen. See Beyond the man and look at the symbols... Most importantly if we believe that change needs to happen, let us focus on just that.

A type of collective consciousness that resonates specifically to every species. It subtely affects the subconsious thru its vibrational frequncies. You can read about Sheldrake's research into this in many of his books. Part of this “effect” I believe is what Ruppert Sheldrake called the morphic resonance field.

He has definitely proven to be a charismatic leader. My concern is what his longer term effect will be, not simply to blacks, but to all Americans. To call his effect "the Obama effect" means it is not talking about role modeling and positive influence from important people in some one,s lives, as that has has been an accepted reality of life. But specifically on how people react as a result of Barak Obama's influence. The election was orchestrated with a biased news media, and bought with hundreds of millions of dollars. Honesty was never seriously challenged. President Obama has been reported to be the most polarizing president we have ever had in this country, and his actions and budget are leading us to a debt that our grandchildren will be burried under. I wonder if anybody will be doing a study on "the Obama effect" in a year or two. I am pleased that there has been a measurable positive effect from President OBama on blacks taking tests.

People who feel they are somehow not as smart, good or worthy as another group of people need a role model of what they consider their own kind. Thus when one of (them) becomes the president of the USA they begin to feel differently about themselves. They begin to feel like they are worthy, smart and capable. They always were. They just needed proof. To them Obama becomming president was proof. I believe I understand the Obama Effect.

Obama got where he is only because the press gave him favourable reviews, while McCain was shown as a crusty old man. He is and was a media creation (all smoke and mirrors). He lost me when I saw that piece on Youtube when he lost the teleprompter. He sounded really clued out. You would imagine that if he was as smart and wonderful as he is portrayed in the media, he would have been able to hold his own without the teleprompter. I was most defintely not impressed. It is all a farce. Let’s face it. Obama got where he is only because the press gave him favourable reviews, while McCain was shown as a crusty old man.
