Ugh. Yard signs are worse than buttons.

This election was nothing more than a popularity contest. Obama is a smooth talker with great speaking ability. He is also, of course, not white. Instant win. No one cares what his policies are.
Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Obama.
-
It's not great when he gets off the cue cards.
The US quit being a republic what, 75 years ago?
-
OBAMA WON!!!!
... Just like I said yesterday ;D !!!
-
Poor US people. Choosing between an old man, a socialist (and a woman) is rather hard...

Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Obama.
Really? You've narrowed it down to speaking ability and race? You don't think the situation the country is in after 8 years of republican leadership had something to do with people's decision? The president will always be blamed for the bad economy, or applauded for a good economy, whether they had much to do with it or not.
-
Speaking ability is an important thing. Politics has always been about the speech, it's traditional.
As for race, I was thinking about that last night, mostly because suddenly everyone is chanting ITS A VICTORY FOR BLACKS EVERYWHAR! on TV. I started thinking about black people who could run for president and if I would think about their race within the first second. Obama? Yes. Jessie Jackson? Yes. Will Smith? No. Oprah? Yes. Bill Cosby? No. Colin Powel? No. Despite what the people with political stake in the matter want to say, we have a cultural divide here, and it doesn't run between black and white, it runs between those who characterize themselves with their "black-ness" and those who characterize themselves with their personality.
I think Bass' comment is that Obama is cuturally black and there are a lot of culturally-blacks and whites who are empowered politcally by increasing the power of the culturally black who worked very, very hard to put Obama in.
However, the responsibility lies with the Republicans. Collectively, they were a bunch of yellow-bellied pansies who wouldn't stand up against the liberals and they deserved to lose.
-
atleast you voted i hope? democratic participation is paramount
-
I voted :)

They also kind of royally fucked up the country. Not like we went from record surpluses to a recession the likes of which hasn't been seen in 80 years or anything. Just sayin'.
Epic lose republicans.
I should probably delete this thread. Political discussions on teh tubes always turn into an epic pile of shit.
-
Hahaha but lofi, you speakith the truth! but yea someones gunna end up getting shot over this... (If i dont sign on for over like a week, it was probibly me)
yea, you can have runway i guess...

I hope he was just misquoted. :-\
-
who knows man, we will find out in janurary
-
Need I remind you that the senate/house is run by the democrats. And if you forgot... anything the president wants to do / doesn't want to do goes through the house/senate first....
It's supposed to be called checks and balances, but lately its more like stall and forget about it (WHOOPS the economy crashed!)
-
LMAO

Sweet fancy Moses, read the comments. Why do people that call him Hussein think they're being clever or making some kind of point?
Errrgh.
-
Because that's his name? If he didn't want to be muslim he had many years opportunity to change it to Harvey.
-
who gives a flying fuck what Presedent Obama's religion is. Im an athiest, does that make me a horrible person? I am middle eastern *(of some sort haha), itialian,venezuelan and israeli, does that make me a terrorist? NO. Can we please stop this bullshit bickering that he will or wont do this; or he believes in this or that. Fact of the matter is, WE DO NOT KNOW SHIT until shit happens. Wait until janurary 20th (i believe) and then start to say something. We should be behind the President no matter the race, sex, religion, name, color or anything. This is our country, and we should stand by it unless Palin becomes president...
-
What his religion is doesn't matter, but what it seems to be does. It matters because muslim terrorists have been killing American citizens. It's similar to how the Japanese had it in the 50s. It took a very long time, and a lot of excellent electronic devices, for America to stop seeing slant-eyes as Zero-flying killers of our bright young wide-eye'd naval boys. Today, no one in the US has any ill-will for them besides WWII era veterans (with good reason) and mothers who've seen their children turn into weaboo losers because they watched an episode of Dragon Ball Z.
Hussain can't turn the opinion around on this. If the US is attacked then he failed to protect America. If the US isn't attacked, then he must've used his super-secret muslim connections to ensure nothing happens for eight years so the next guy eats shit and looks bad.
Who's stayed behind W? He's dropped the ball on everything for the last five years. Fools stayed behind W. Granted I would've rather had four more of him than O because W is a known quantity of fail, while O could go fuckin' anywhere.
-
LMAO at the bush part, however, Muslim terrorists have in fact been killing americans granted. BUT that does not make Obama a terrorist by any means. Thats what im trying to say, Just because his religion is muslim does not mean he is a bad guy, Its just his belief.

Bush failed to protect america. Shit happends man, countrys get attacked every day doesnt mean the leader failed them, It means they needa step up their security. But if we do get attacked im sure he is going to do everything in his power to send some missles flying. He was born and raised in this country so im sure he loves it just as much as the rest of us.
-
If you're going to go to the steps of referring to someone by their middle name, at least spell it correctly.
"Granted I would've rather had four more of him than O because W is a known quantity of fail, while O could go fuckin' anywhere."
Wow, seriously?
And uh, Obama goes to a christian church, not that I care about religion in the slightest.
-
I voted, and i have to say this was one of the best political seasons ever. 2 very very good candidates both of whom will be light years ahead of the past 8 years. i think Sarah Palin lost the race for the republicans this year, and the evangelical base is starting to tear apart the GOP pushing a center right party hard right, which scares the bulk of the country.
Obama should be a pretty good president, but i doubt anyone will be capable of turning the tide as it is swinging now. our country is in for some really tough times over the next 2 years and even the greatest leaders of our country's past would not be able to tackle these problems in 4 years and come out on top.
its to bad that the republican party wasn't able to get a majority this time around be cause of all the scandal and stupidity they have been doing. this country runs best when the checks and balances system is in place, and we have to compromise and meet in the middle.
in the end, I'm just really REALLY dam happy that a lady who didn't know what the bush doctrine was, and didn't understand what the VPs job was even after being nominated for the gig, couldn't be our president cause fuck me that would be dam scary.

locked for political internet gay, before things get out of hand.

Watch "the west wing" and be enlightened.
Politics as far as the president is concerned is ALL about the speech. Bartlett won two campains from his power of speech, and he had a good crew to run everything else and help him run things.
...........
Bush sucked, and bushes staff sucked, end of story! The same would applied for mccain and palin government. Lets hope liberal is like i believe it to be, WIN.

LOCKED. FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
