Obama getting elected only served one purpose in my eyes, we are not a racist people ! And I for one am proud of that.[/qoute]
No disrespect but you bought into that "whole country is a racist thing and Obama will show the world we are not" cr*p.
Having a black president is nothing to be proud of until you reconinize the other achizements of other minorities and who helped them get there. Most of the progress has been made under one party - the Republicans and under the most dispised presidents - Nixon and Bush.
Be proud that we don't have riots during the elections like other countries that claim to be civilised. Be proud that we have had consistent voting among the population and be proud of the system that we have.
We really need some greenhorn with a good decent heart in office. Someone who hasn't had time to build their corrupt ties with all the crooked deals.
Well we didn't elect a greenhorn, far from it. This guy is experinced and has a lot, I MEAN a lot of ties to a corrupt politcal system that has been in place for more than three generations - the Daly/Chicago political machine. Remember that they never got rid of their connections to the Mafia or actually prevented vote rigging with the elections that take place and support Oprah. Between the two, Obama and Bush, I feel that Obama is the worst of the two when it comes down to how many people who has shaped, done favors for and has a hand in his adminstration that are completly and utterly bad.
