OBAMA IS PRESIDENT!

[TrolleyDave]

Probably a strange question to most but I'm curious so I gotta ask. How many people who are happy that Obama won are happy mostly because he's the first non-white president?

I cant believe people are still bitching about Obama. He won get over it. Face facts, hes the best option we have.

i agree with p1ngpong, you guys need to stop following the media and do some personal research sometimes...Frustrates so much on why Obama became President. The race should've been closer but most people who voted that were black voted him b/c they wanted to "see change"...who was to say obama's change was to be better than mccains? I already proved it was worse. Other's who voted him president for change b/c he was democrat and bring about new and better change was also pointless...I mean, Mccain already explain his ideas to help the fix the incompetence of our congress. How was Obama's any greater? The biggest thing that should've dissuade you guys from making Obama president is... Can you imagine him being the Commander in Chief of the US...when he clearly has no experience in that field? I am not saying he is going to be a bad president but why the hell did our nation put our lives in a weaker candidate?

Obama is against the american dream and is all for middle class families dishing money out to lower class while the upper class gets out of doing it like they do with most other things.
Also he wants to turn this country bilingual.

It's over, you can stop already! Your dude lost. Save it for 2012.

Exactly

I would respond to that but I dont want to get into another flame war. I see this thread heading towards the way the gay marriage thread ended.

Rephrase it how? What I mean is how many are happy because he really is the best choice and will take America back to it's root ideals and how many are happy simply because having a non-white president makes them feel like they are living in more progressive, less racist country.

Is that any better?

...How many people...are happy that Obama [won] mostly because he's the first non-white president?

Don't really care, though it's obviously historic. But he's an inspirational speaker who seems to speak right from the heart. That's rare in politics.

That is better. I was being mean it was just poorly structured.

It's not flaming when both sides are willing to listen to the others perspective. I am all ears.

Well so far this is a nice debate, as long as no idiots jump in talking crap its perfectly fine to state your points!

Why can't it be both? It is possible that he will be both black and a reasonably good president.

He's also very thin and pretty, which is a plus.

im not going to risk it and besides im only online because im waiting on a download. Its almost finished but its good to hear you guys are willing to listen.

I agree about the historic part. I don't follow the US elections really so haven't heard Obama speak, I've just seen talk on other forums where people were discussing how great it would be to have a coloured president, there was very little talk about the actual policies and stuff. I asked there too but just got called a racist for even suggesting that it might have influenced some of their votes.

And cheers for pointing out the missing word!

Don't worry about it, I'd rather someone tell me the question didn't make sense. My grammar skills aren't the greatest.

 

[Twiggy12]

obama kicks ass, i mean what would america and the rest of the world want

war, or less war?

obama isnt for war, or against it (i think) wheras the other guy SERVED in a war now who do you think would make more wars?

and i hope obama doesent become an idiot like george bush, he made many people die

heres a joke

after george bush heard that in 1.5 billion years the sun would run out of gas george made a disision he would make every thing right.....

what did he do?

he send 5 million soldiers to the sun


oh yeah, good job obama

LET US ALL LISTEN TO THE WISDOM OF THE TWELVE (IM 13 NOW!!! I HAD MY BIRTHDAY IN OCTOBER!!)YEAR OLD BOY FROM AUSTRALIA.

why thank you kind man

(yes i know you were being scarcastic)

It can be both, I'm just curious as to how many people see it as a major factor in their choice.

Plus I don't find him that pretty, a little mascara wouldn't hurt.

I think most people voted for him because they thought he was the better choice. There have been black candidates before that didn't get nearly as much of the black vote.

Also, did you see the dress his wife was wearing at his speech? It looked like an exploding republican.

 

[EmperorOfCanada]

I am not American so i couldnt vote for him, but I would have.

As for if I care that he is black or if that is why I would have voted for him.. no I dont think that matters. I think he is a very charismatic man and I care less about the fact that he is a black man than I do about the symbolism of it all.

Hopefully Obama will be good for relations between US and Canada (and the rest of the world for that matter)

Obama said he was against the war then backtracked on it, time will tell what his stance on the war actually is.


As for McCain serving in Vietnam, who would you rather have leading the country and sending our soldiers into war? Someone who has never served in the army and dosent know what it involves? Or someone who has fought and bled for the country, and knows exactly what he is leading the country into?

Bush was a draft dodger, and he was a massive warmonger and he has led America into two illegal wars and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths!

i agree with the part about america would be quite defencless but think... obama would probably be afraid of war and i doubt he would want to start more so if he keeps from getting into wars and fixes all that george dipshit had done then you all should be fine, i also agree with all you said bout bush


and look at this! does obama look so dangerous to you?
