R.I.P. U.S.A., We are done, can't wait till Hussein's regime gets sworn in in January, I wonder if his boy Ayers will be there shooting AK47's in the air
oh and before any of you Obama supporters start screaming at me that he is a christian baptist... guess what?! I DONT CARE!!! I'm so proud of this country for electing him over a war hero, that not only was a POW but when offered release he turned it down so that his fellow soldiers that we're being held their longer could be released before him, that is who should be leading our country, not some dipshit that preaches change, but when asked what his changes are going to be, cannot give a straight answer!
Say whatever the heck you want but if there ever was such a thing as a 'mandate' Obama has it after obliterating McCain ... he just destroyed him and essentially won an electoral and popular vote landslide.
So apparently a strong MAJORITY of Americans are smart enough not to factor in a candidate's middle name. Plus, if you think there is something wrong with the name 'Hussein' that's backwards and its a personal demon you can choose to look in the mirror and address ... or not. Either way. its a minority position to hate on a guy for his name (a name held by a ton of Americans, including those fighting for us overseas).
Finally, I'd like to say that I appreciate John McCain the man and the public servant. He is a good man and I'd have voted for him over Hillary.
I never had any problem with McCain the moderate Republican I just liked Obama more for Prez. I'd normally vote for any Dem as Prez but I don't like Hillary and would prolly vote McCain with my meaningless New York vote!
350 electoral votes and 52 percent is just 'comfortable'?
Reagan won by 525 in 1980 and 489 in 1984. George H.W. Bush won by 426 in 1988. Clinton's electoral votes were in the three hundred range.
So, yes, 350 electoral votes is comfortable. Decisive, but still just comfortable.
Personally, I voted for McCain, but I woke up this morning and as all Americans should, supporting the next POTUS. Ideologies aside, the people have spoken.
From "The Onion"; Hope no one takes offense, it just struck me as funny:
Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job
November 5, 2008 | Issue 44•45
WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."
President B. Hussein Obama
