[ Closed ] Barack Obama is the new president of the USA!!! (Page 1 of 2)

I made a thread just like this!!!

I think this is a really funky result, I am so glad that he won

Let's just face it, all politicians are liers It's a case of pick the lesser evil

At least you guys have a choice to vote, it's compulsory over here and you get fined if you don't.

You know some guy working in the chow hall actually said to a line of recruits in a MILITARY COLLEGE:

"Why do you guys want McCain? You know he'll send you off to war right?"

It was a full few seconds of stupidity-inspired awe before one of my rook brothers felt the need to tell him to shut up and give them a cheeseburger. I mean honestly, wrong argument to make.

Personally I don't follow politics at all. I could tell you who's running for what party but that's just about it. Politics just seem petty and annoying, even if they do some semi-important stuff like run our country/lives. I didn't care much either way, but I really did see this win coming from a few weeks ago.

Doesn't bother me none as long as he doesn't screw up too bad.

From his parties standpoints Obama's looks ready to lead. 

As a Conservative Canadian I'm not terribly happy with the results.  McCain would have been better in my opinion.  But democracy has spoken.

All politics aside here, this goes to show the freedom of America.  Can you imagine anywhere else where a minority race would be able to rise to the most powerful position in the country, possibly the world?  No and that's why I think President-Elect Obama and all of the United States deserves a good hearty congratulation no matter what you think of him.

On experience. I have two years department manager experience. Maybe I can go run the company now. lol

I didn't vote. Neither did my husband. Neither of them deserved it. Though between the two I'd rather that McCain had won.

Oh, and I'm not really moving to Canada. It's just going to be hard watching him mess everything up.

Yeah...Hopefully he'll be fairly quiet, but make enough minor mistakes that won't mess us up horribly, but make him unpopular enough not to be reelected. And you know, most of America, judging by the way they voted, would say you probably could be CEO. But your not black--and I don't know how good a speaker you are. Those were important factors.

No offense to Obama supporters, but those were the main reasons a lot of people voted for him--he's an African American (partly), and he's a very good, charismatic speaker--even if he doesn't have much to say, other than Change.

My opinion only--I just think he's inexperienced.

Its also the main reason why a lot of people voted against him.

I'm seeing alot of opinion here, but not alot of backing up.

Agreed...

Gift of the silver tongue, they say it's the mark of a good officer - - and of a liar.

But hey, I could be proven wrong...

*could*

Actually I think Obama doesnt take control intill a few months later, so were still with Bush right now.

(Technical anyway)

YOU GO!!!!
