As you certainly know by now, Barack Obama has been elected as the 44th President of the United States. Above, the Senator from Illinois' acceptance speech from Chicago last night. What are your thoughts on the election? Sound off in the comments :)

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
I think Barack Obama will bring great change to our country. Gas prices have already began to come down. We no longer seem worried about the country going in the wrong direction. Of course there are those who dislike him because of the color of his skin, but oh well they need to get over it.

ahhh so that's what it was about I was hoping it'd be hilary just so I could say "your last 4 presidents were bush, clinton, bush and clinton" lol

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
Well, the democrats have been whining about Bush for a very long time. Hopefully the Republicans don't start whining now because that's not ANY BETTER! I'm so tired of whiners!

It doesn't matter who you voted for. Personally, I voted McCain, but Obama was elected. The democratic process has now endowed him with the office of the presidency (or will at inauguration). If you don't like it, you can go live in China.

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
More people need to have your attitude! I've seen so much hate being tossed around, and it does nothing for the country. It only divides, and you know what our country's motto says about that. I don't mind healthy discussion where people civilly debate their opinions, but a lot of what I've seen is, "You dirty (republican/democrat), you're ruining our country!"

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
Exactly, and I'm sick of it. I will support our president, if for no other reason then because he's the president. And every spoiled brat on the street waving a screen-printed sign that has a problem with that can kiss my hairy white butt.

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
You support the president simply because of his title? No matter what? 
Jtobler on
Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
It doesn't mean that I have to agree with his actions, but yes, I do. At the very least, I will support the president regardless of party affiliation. If he has been legally elected by the voice of the people according to the political process outlined by the constitution and federal law, and if he upholds the office of the president with honor and integrity (doing something unpopular DOES NOT mar one's honor or integrity), then yes, I will support the president. I do so because I believe in an America that is still worth something, and whose national pride is not dependent upon a certain political viewpoint getting their way all the time.

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
Here are all the "if"s.

If you don't agree with the actions, how can you support them?

Just because something is unpopular doesn't make it wrong, just as if something is popular it isn't necessarily right.

I think it's good to have pride in your country and support one's president, but not under every cirumstances or in every decision they make, and certainly never because they simply possess a title! After all, it is just a popularity contest. No one can guarantee the person elected will be worthy of support. I don't agree with supporting without reason; I don't see any logic in it. No honor or integrity either.

can't decide whether *high five* or *hug* is the proper reaction...

Re: Barack Obama Wins the Presidency
When I say popularity contest, I mean it about who the people like the most, however they may judge that by. I'm not sure I understand your reaction.

RIGHT ON, JTOBLER! LET THEM MOVE TO CHINA! If Barach is 'All' that he presented himself to be, we as a nation will be very 'FORTUNATE' indeed!

I did move to China...
...in 2005, just five months after George W Bush was again illegitimately installed when inaugurated President of The United States part oNorth America [AUSPONA: Just as Africa is not a country, a nation, The United States part of North America is also not a country, not a nation].

 

I made the decision, made the choice to live here under tyranny practiced here because I found it unbearable living under the fascist unpatriotic despotic knee-jerk ignorant neoconservative ghoulish [fudking] fraudulent usurping degenerate kind-less egregious racist sadistic [fudkers] who populate the redneckreligious, , right-wing Republican ruled retrograde regime back there in my beloved nation.

 

Now, with the legitimate election of Barack Husein Obama, I can return home and work to make my country right again. I am very happy and enthused and proud to do so.   Sincerely, David Tecumseh Schmidt

Re: I did move to China...
You are an anti-American asshole and need to die.
namastelaoshi on
Glad to hear you testify.
Keep in touch and I will give you the chance to see to my death when I return to AUSPONA next year about June or July. Should we loose contact I give you some basis information for you to keep to assure that you will be able to find me.

 

I was born January, 31, 1941 in the small village of Tecumseh in the county of Lenawee in southeast Michigan. My high school graduation was from Tecumseh High School in 1959. Four years of enlisted United States Navy service followed my graduation. An Honorable Discharge followed my four years of naval service. For more than three years I received monthly hazardous duty [flight] pay for over three-thousand hours as a flight crew member flying Air Early Warning picket duty.

 

My sister and eight brothers all still reside in or within 30 minutes of smack-downtown Tecumseh. My youngest brother can easily be found in his family pharmacy smack-downtown or behind the door to the office of The Mayor of the City of Tecumseh. His name is on his family pharmacy in smack-downtown but I am not sure that it is on the door of The Office Of The Mayor.

 

When ya get there, just ask around. I will not be hard to find. Indeed if ya let be know the nature of your mission you will find some residents there, including at least one of my brothers who will be thrilled to the point of pissing in their pants in gleeful anticipation and drooling at the lips until you are done.

 

See ya when I get back.   Sincerely, David Tecumseh Schmidt,  ACW3 USN, retired

 

PS: OH, asshole, I guess that you live in an American country or nation; right? Which one: Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Panama, Cuba, Haiti, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, huh, huh, huh? Jes led me noe ain I kin cum vizit cha. k?

namastelaoshi on
Hello. Hello; ya there?
Oh; and where is "there" for you? Are you North or South American? Panamanian American? Brazilian American? Peruvian or Colmbian American? Maybe you are United Stateses. Yes? No? Maybe you are from or live in the Cuba part of North America or the Argentina part of South America.

 

Where it is ya do yer biz? I mean when ya throw down your hat where dose it land at? Ya know? 

 

Sincerely,

 

David Tecumseh Schmidt, ACW3 USN, ret.   BSW Siena Heights College '76   MSW UofM '82

An error up there...
...in my previous reply.   American is not a country or nation. AUSPONA is a nation.
