    funny, i believe the "President" no matter who he is can only do little to help your country, even tho its our society in its entirety that needs to change. We need to think about the future of our existence and ask what we want to achieve as a race and further more how to achieve it.

    i'm sorry for the rude comment but who gives a fuck that he's partially black and says he's both a Christian and a Muslim. Who cares. He's a man that should be treated as one of any color and judged like any man of any color. And if you judge is political policies by his voting record he hasn't done anything for change. You people are looking for a national celebrity to keep you warm and secure feeling about the country.

    We aren't getting out of the war sorry. I don't agree with the war either but your O'bama won't take us out. He won't help the economy. He will change things no doubt. But judging on his record and what he's actually done, he won't do a damn thing except fuck shit up.

    And by distinguishing and defining someone by their race, you are only keeping racism alive today. Acknowledge him for what he HASN'T done not for what he says he's going to do. You all will see.

    I like to stay positive.....I figure....he cant do any worse than good ol GW. Regardless of how you feel....all poitics aside....it's really historical that we have a black man as president! Just think of all the black people who have been killed over the years trying to promote equality and justice....they would all be so proud to know that their death was not in vain....we have made progress from a civil rights standpoint. And that is why Im so friggin happy right now! In regards to politics...like I said....Im not so sure Obamas the answer to all our problems. But I do not think he's going to turn our country into a socialist regime! I think thats a little absurd and extreme. yeah...he might try for universal healthcare...and yeah we might not be out of the war as quickly as most would like....but I do think our country deserves to try something new.....obviously all the "qualified" white guys thus far that have ruled our country haven't done that great of a job....in fact they are the reason our country is on the verge of collapse! So......i think electing somebody with a complete different background will possibly be beneficial....all we can do is wait and see.....

    uniuversal healthcare means what everyone can afford to get healthcare..oh but some idiuot poloticuans like to demonize the other partyu and label it socialist to make idiots belirve a good thing is a bad thong and the masses jump on the bandwagon ohhh scary we'll be able to afford healthcare eeeek
    same with redistribution of wealth..theres 1% of the ppl in this country who make millions a day hell some make millions an hour while 80% striggle to keep s roof over theyre heads and 7% or more (guessing at these
    ) cant afford food let alone a roof or healthcare..if even 1% of the millions a day the top 1% made was funneled down to the poorer ppl of the country they'd be able to afford houses, be able to afford food and lets not forget they'd be able to buy shit..that would save the economy..after all these 1% at the top cannot possibly spend millions a day no they stockpile it sitting on billions of dollars that are doing noone any good at all and certainly not helping the economy or the country
    so tell me exactly how ecvil it will be to have everyone able to afford 6to live?
    oh but throw around an evil word like socialist and sure u can make the most positive things look evil
    are you that dumb that u cant look beyond a word and see the possitive things behind it?
    forget that word socialist a momment and examine whayt the proposed changes would really mean
    if 1% of the useless wealth stickpiled by the top billionairs being redistributed meant a 25% increase inthe rest of societies asbility to survive in tough times..if it meant a massive boost to the economy that permenantly dragged us out of a slump and put us on a path to having every american able to afford what we need to survive and be healythy then how exactly is thios such an evil thing? oh yea uts ecvil only because that super rich 1% labled it with that evil word...
    think for a momment about what it means not the demonizing label but what the actual changes would do for us

    edit to add

    on the subject of redistribution of wealth
    every president votes for the redistribution of wealth they cant help it the flow of wealth is regulated by tax codes
    and many other things

    but too many have voted to redisytribute the wealth outta the hands of the common people into the hands of the elite
    come on why yjhe hell douesnt it piss you off to work 2-3 jobs 16+ hours a day and barely be able to afford to just get too and from work every day and be able to sleep with a roof over your head while the elite get tax breaks that enale them to make an extra 8 million a day that they will never in theyre lifetime ever be able to spend
    why is it you work so fucking hard and all the money goes somewhere else?
    we've had enough wealth redistribution already to nearly destroyt the economy
    we wont survive as anation if some of that wealth doesnt end up in the hands of the magority
    and just the tiniest pincjh outta theyre bloated overstuffed pockets would be a saving security to the masses..

    there is no reason why anyone should ever worry about losing theyre homes whiler tyhe maccaines if the world have 8 or more houses..

    I am 100% against socialism; and, against many of the democratic AND republican ideas.

    With that:

    I would rather hear Obama talk about something he truly believes in (even if it's a Bad Idea™), than hear McCain talk about what he KNOWS to be lies.

    i think obama is the "lesser of two evils". whoever's president is merely a puppet to those above him though.

    terrorism is a word created by the government. they inject the terror into the public, make us hate the muslims and afghans so they can fight illegal wars without too many people caring.

    they make me so damn angry :banghead:

    lol well sure a revolitionary president like obama has a fairly hugh chance of being assassinated but.. an old man like mccaine has a much higher chance of dying from natural causes.. assassination attempts can fail but old age kills us all eventualy
    and if the worry was over which vice president would be worse after such a thimg then thank god palin wont ever get the chance
    what a dingbat..shed probly make joe the plumber an adviser

    at least her campain had great comedy value

    First off I just wanna say congratulations to Obama for winning americas latest reality tv show. And I dont care what color his skin is, the fact is, he just took the worst job in americas history. There is nothing he can do to completely 180 this country in 4 years. Change takes time, and as americans we seriously lack the patience it will take to see change happen. So all of you obama haters (for whatever the reason) dont worry, when he cant fix all of our problems in 4 years the people will turn on him and some will say they were right and a black man cant run this country and others will say it was because he just didnt have the experience to handle the job and others will come up with new reasons over the next 4 years. But one thing is for sure, even if the war stops and the economy gets better we will still find something to complain about. Its what we do best.

    on his acceptence speecgh didnt he specifucly sayhe couldnt do it all alone in 8 (not 4) uears/ i doint think that was a slip. i think hes well aware that he will have to be reelected to accomplish most of what he promiced
    he is taking on the toughest job there has been in the past several hundred years trying to fix so mamny mistakes of the past 8
    after bush i had serius doubts we'd ever be able toi recover from the messses he caused and i definately do not think anyone even obama can fix it all in just 4 years..
    but lets also remember it wasnt just 8 years of dubya that screwed us so badly but 2 generations of that family that systematicly screwed us
    if obama can fix 1/3 of the dammage done by the bushes then hed accomplish what seeemned practicly impossible..
    1/3 may not be enoiugh change to satisfy many, but hell any step in the right directions better then a leap poff the cliff in the wrong direction
    do i think he'll solve everything in 4 years? hell no..nobody could.. do u think things will get better over the next 8? yes very much but not enough..not as much as we need
    it could take 15 years of the right leadership to fully recover from the mess bushes created
    but at least now some mnay have a lil hope for life beyind 2012

    by the way...whats so wrong about universal healthcare? Why do people complain about that soooo much? Private Dr.'s will still gladly accept private checks for all those who want privaticized healthcare....so uh.....Im just confused on that argument!
