Keep in mind, people can have different points of views. There is no correct answer to voting except for yes on slots.

Actually I suppose that depends on who is the majority.Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:
Anyways, do this mean I get a raise now? I sure could use the money.

All I can think of is something similar to what Maher recently said, "US citizens are so sick of Bush, they're going to vote in a black President with an arab name."
It wasn't even really that close!
Seriously though, made my night. I almost hope Palin's on the ballot in 2012 so she can get embarrassed again.

Where did I say people can't have different points of view? Where did I say there are correct answers in voting? I don't care if you vote for another party, person, idea, or whatnot. If you vote against what I'm voting for than you're voting against what I'm voting for. No hidden messages or jabs. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say.

Awesome man.
I've never seen an US election with this much impact on people, back here in Portugal everyone was discussing the election and rooting for Obama, i guess Obamania swept Europe too.
It's incredible, almost biblical.
Congrats Americans you've got a decent president now (so it seems).

Anyway, i actually enjoyed Mccain's speech better than Obama's, dunno why, i think i wasn't expecting Mccain to be so graceful. Pitty that he's an old fart surrounded by morons.

That background music is freaking annoying. Is there any youtube of Hick's "Ding Dong Bush is dead" part. I love that one, i think he started some show singing it.

Four years in a third-world country as a child might indicate he's got the credentials not to be another ethnocentrist American president.
Whether or not his policies are successful, and regardless of his politics as a whole, this election has had a profound impact on the state of American politics and enthusiasm for America's position in the world. America is either cheering or bitter tonight, but soon things will settle down and everyone will see exactly what has transpired and what it means for them, individually and as a nation. History is marked by key events that set the world in motion.
Here's to this being one of them.

People in Afghanistan and Iraq and many other places but that's not really who I was talking about. What I was referring to was the demigod cult around Obama. Obama is going to herald in a return to the nineteen thirties, with his own New New Deal. Then as now it seems people are going to thank him for it, the more his policies won't work the more of them many people will think they'll need. The founding Fathers of the United States tried to create a Republic not a Democracy for a reason. Nothing about Obama is new or insightful beyond the myopia of those fixated with colour and no knowledge of events throughout history.

And you're a brain dead sheep, enjoy your demigod cultist.
The only hope for the United States is that some people voted for Obama for sensible reasons and unlike Uriel aren't looking for a demigod to worship and live through. The idea of the Philosopher King is millennia old and has had more than its fair share of attempts throughout history. The myopia of the many seems as bound as ever to descend into demigod worship, lets just hope Obama isn't too much like Tiberius Gracchus.

I don't really understand what your first sentence is saying. Do you mean that those things were not initiated by Obama?
Griffith said:
Hardly because my opinion isn't being heeded, it doesn't take any great wisdom or insight to see what I'm saying, it mainly just requires an open mind to look at common perceptions in a new light. All I've ever said is hardly unique to me. It also isn't that the world will end, it is just that the world will be a worse place than it needs and very easily could be.

A little tidbit first -- I didn't vote for Obama.Sanguinius said:
Secondly, the noise emanating from your general direction only makes your salty tears all the more delicious. The rest of the world seems to get it, but you can't.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion, naturally. And in light of that ideology, I'll say that I am happy that there won't be any pro-life, fundamentalist people at the top. That's reason enough for me to be pleased with the result =) "Demigod" and "worship" are such a strong words, too. How about an individual who people can be encouraged by? When was the last time such a person was elected in Britain, eh?
Side note -- I wish Tim Russert had been around for this...
