McCain or Obama

Speaking of which, I will begin taking bets on whether or not the U.S. will have completely pulled out of Iraq by this time next year. On another side note, I will also be taking bets on possibilities of civil uprising and assassination attempts on President Obama in the next 4 years (don't laugh at the possibility of an assassination, since 1) there's plenty of skinheads out there who are even more pissed off than I am and 2) a U.S. president has been assassinated every 20 years for about the past 150 years or so, although Reagan and one other president who I can't remember right now managed to survive their assassination attempts). Not that I'm saying someone will try, but for some reason I see it being a possibility. Your right, sadly, there are WAY too many morons out there. You know security will be at its highest ever with Obama in the White House.

I agree. Granted I don't like Obama, but I'm willing to at least wait and see what happens before I try to plan any political coupe (although I hope I don't have to). I figure there might be some riots with him winning, but then again I figured that there might be some if he hadn't been elected. Either way, we're on what will probably be a wild roller coaster ride for the next 4 years. As to everyone who supported Obama in this election, that's fine, it's your choice. But know that if something goes horribly wrong, you won't have Bush and the Republicans to blame for it this time.

Don't know what you lot are talking about. Obama isn't socialist enough.

uh, Reagan was shot in 1981, that's 27 years ago 

..oh, and that 'Combo Breaker' chart has Ike and Truman in reverse order..

History was made TODAY!!!!

OBAMA

HELL YES.
That is all I can think of, but it sums up my thoughts pretty well

I'm not even American, but I'm freaking proud and excited anyway.

To quote a certain musician...

She is filthy rich from living in a Capitalist society and yet she votes/endorses a man who is socialist. F***ING STUPID.

Socialist?
That's news to me.

I don't want to sound confrontational, but before bandying about words like 'socialist' and 'Marxist', perhaps people would do better to get some correct information about what those two words really mean. If not wanting people to go bankrupt because of a medical emergency is socialism, this means most European countries are socialist - pity that here in Italy we have a solid right-wing majority, and so they have in France, for instance.

I just got up. My dogs aren't displaying any out of the ordinary behaviour. The usual excitement before the morning walk as if I've forgotten and they have to remind me. The budgies are chirping. Just glanced out the window and the nieghbour's anuual Christmas reindeer display complete with Rudolph hasn't gone up yet. The sky hasn't fallen and I predict another great day to be alive. Is that being positive about all this or what ?
