I know a guy who voted for him just because he was black. He said if we have a black president then the world wouldnt think we are racists. I said the rest of the world is as racists as the USA. He just dropped it. Way to vote.
His skin colour is brown, no such thing as black skin.
I wish in Britain that we would elect a candidate that was brown/afro caribbean.
It would never happen in my lifetime, which goes to prove that the majority of Americans are fair, not racist and have voted on policy rather than anything else.
If you're asking if people with more money should pay higher taxes than poorer people, then yes.
I am one of the few members of my family that makes less than $200K/yr, and most of them make much more. I have spoken to many wealthy people and they have been surprisingly forward on the issue. They and their peers laugh at people like you. Make no mistake, redistribution of wealth has always been, and it always flows up. You are just to blind to see it.
and on the flip side, I'm sure you know guys who voted against him just because he was black. It works both ways.
wonder if Oprah will get a cabinet post, or maybe she'll be Obama's press secretary, Jesse Jackson can be Secretary of Defense and Hillary for Secretary of State. It's gonna be an interesting 4 years, maybe they'll change the constitution to have Obama server more than 2 terms, after all it's gonna take more than just 2 terms to complete the change of America, if Bloomberg can do it, why can't Obama.
It was unfortunate John McCain was too nice throughout the campaign, and it cost him the Presidency.
Bush out! Obama in!
McCain was a total dick in his campaign. Should've talked about what he was going to do instead of just bashing Obama.
Both of them should've done WAY more fact giving in their campaign than they did, but McCains ads were NOTHING but bashing. I can't particularily remember a single commercial that wasn't bashing.
Thank goodness this crap is over with. They should make a law now that campaigning can't start until 6 months before the election. Absolutely stupid for this crap to go on for 2 years!!
And, no, I DIDN'T vote for either one of these characters, but yes, I DID vote for President.
Well someone has to do it. The media wasn't going to criticize him. They were to busy talking about Palin's clothes.
We'll see if Obama can really help bring about positive change. After the way the last 8 years have been, Obama is certainly inheriting an enormous mess with this economy, 2 wars, and a lot of policy changes that need to be undone. I wouldn't write him off even before he begins; let's see what happens.
LOL my mom always tell me, "if you want to be a politician, you have to learn how to lie." I guess that's what politicians do best.
In terms of morale and the dream of the Civil Rights movement, this was a watershed moment. But the fundamental attitudes which for over 30 years have cost America innumerable lives and money (costs which ultimately trickle down to the taxpayer) will likely remain. The American public needs to realize that the United States is a Colonial and Imperial power, the aims of which, have already and will continue to prove destructive and untenable.

This is what your leaders actually believe. It's nothing new, though. This plan and others like it have been in play for over 30 years.
