Prepare yourself for idiotic and brutal five months ahead, with the oh-so-balanced media hammering it into you, that he is a muslim, a "liberal", wants to take away your weapons, has no experience in foreign affairs or the economy, thrown in subtle and not-so-subtle racism.
The anti-Obama witchhunt will be gruesome.
And now, I am not even a yank, but that doesn't hold me back from commenting: Like it or not, the US-president IS somewhat the first political leader of the western world ( say OECD-countries).
If you are American who does not travel abroad, you have NO idea how much the international reputation of the USA suffered the last seven, eight years. Your image changed from beeing admired and respected to beeing loathed and ridiculed, not even feared any longer.
In short, any member of this very board, who will still vote republican, is a buffoon, helplessly foolish, and deserves the next four years downhill for america (too bad, good people will suffer as well).
And as comments regarding Obama's final nomination show, some of you still haven't realized how bad the US need a change.
