Default Obama elected president.

News is starting to report it.... impossible for McCain to get enough electoral votes to win.

Apparently America is going to try socialism for a while.

Truth be told I don't care either way, as now virtually the entire US Govt. will be in the hands of the Democrats.

If you've paid attention, the Democratic congress has been in the hands of the Dem's and has enjoyed the lowest approval ratings of all time.

If anything, this will be an education for the nation hopefully we will come out better in the end...by peopling realizing its the Republicans and Democrats that are ruining this country and maybe more will wise up and become Libertarians.

Question: Manchurian candidate?

i supported obama for a while, but now im sure mccain would have been the better choice even though im not yet old enough to vote. im still frustrated that nobody picked mitt romney as vice pres because he has successfully managed multi-billion dollar companies and is a great economist which is what we need right now. i heard that nobody picked him just because he was mormon and that some people considered Mormonism a cult instead of a religion. that to me sounds retarded.

so now we have to wait for those Civilian National Security Force recruitment centers to appear

damn these broken smileys

Hope is intangible, it takes nothing to exist and provides nothing in return.

Hope is a pacifier for reality.

So with that, please provide some salient points to back up your claim that Obama will "change the world".

Remember, you have to use reason not "faith" "hope" or "belief" to support your claim.

Amen bro...funny how we we're left with possibly the worst two choices.

As a Disabled Vet, sure I respect McCain for his service....sort of. Remember it was McCain that was part of the single largest loss of American Sailors lives from friendly fire when he was part of the chain of mistakes that caused the USS Forestall conflagration. SEE VIDEO

Mitt would have been a good choice, as he has done some amazing things including bringing the Olympics to his state, no small feat having to deal in the international sports scene.

Funny, (Not a slam against Mitt) but just how the world spins.... Mitt is on the board of directors of the Marriott hotel chain. the second largest purveyor of pornography in the United States (pay per view porn in the rooms). Wonder how he would respond to that.

Default Re: Obama elected president.

so⋅cial⋅ism-

1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.

3.(in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist
principles.


In no way will the US change to anything referenced above with Obama as president.

I'm sure that some of you are conspiracy theorists and believe that this election is a plot to change everything about our country. Don't worry. I'm sure this president will turn out to be a liar, just like the rest of them. They're politicians...They lie.

I want to applaud you for seeing past words, and seeing past your nose.

I really hope Obama's advisors can steer him the right way, i really do.

But it is when leaving things unchanged means continuing on the Bush path.
