It's sad that both my gf and I thought the same thing when he was declared winner. Her first thought was "I hope he doesnt get shot now" (I knew he wouldnt since his speech was made from behind bullet proof glass shielding), whereas mine was "Hope he makes it to his swear in in January."Quote:

What I truly would have loved to have seen would have been as to how much sucking up Howard would have done to Obama, and I wonder how much Obama would tolerate.
Alas the two incompetents (Howard and Bush) managed to run themselves and their parties out of contention at the next election. [/sarcasm] :D
I'm still getting used to the idea that some one who appears to be competent will be running AmericaQuote:

Stupid viewpoint aside, it's kinda funny how they feel that Obama is somehow racially inferior from having African heritage... despite the fact that is half white. I think many more sensible people see Obama as being the potential bridge between race relations being the son of a black father and white mother.Quote:

Don't forget Kennedy, Garfield and Mckinley, and several other presidents surived assasintaion attempts. Seems like about 25% of US persidents experience assasination attempts. It's a dangerous job, now wonder his wife was concerned.Quote:

When a redneck organisation tries to take out Obama, it'd be interesting to see his reaction.
Does he play the conserative card and say, "I feel bad that these people are too ignorant to ever let go of thier bigotry."
Or does he use the magic "terror" blanket, and declare the KKK a terrorist organistion. Therefore allowing security agencies to annihilate the group.
I also hope an inquiry is made into the Bush administration. I hope they find the Bush puppet guilty of falsifing an attack on the Pentagon (a traitorist act = death penalty depending on severity), declaring an illegal war, and for rigging the 2004 US Presindential election.
Good luck Mr Obama.
