Congratulations to President Obama,and much respect for John McCain and the classy way he handled himself in his speech.
Although im skeptical of any major party nominee,I couldnt help but feel pride and most importantly HOPE for the US's future as I listened and watched Obama deliver his victory speech....hope is something we have all been missing for the last 8 dark years.
I hope Obama can live up to all the promises and aspirations his platform has made,and can further restore worldwide respect to the USA.
God bless America and President Obama.
We danced like new year's eve, we danced from sheer relief, everything must change.

Congrats are in order for your country. Like my friends and I said, we have never had more hope for this world.
Today I am more proud than EVER to be an American.
Tonight proves that you can be WHATEVER you dream of.
Today Americans made a wise choice for our country and for our standing abroad.
Tears ran down my face when I watched his acceptance speech.
I was a momentous and magical occassion,
Barack To The Future!!!
Chicago Guy, the President is essentially the governor of the entire country. My point being, the responsibility to bring about real change in a city or state, belongs to the executive branch (mayors and governors). The legislative branch can only facilitate change by passing prudent laws and not being a piggybank for lobbyists and their agendas. Even with that, only the speaker of the House or Majority Leader can really lead on new legislation in that government body. Do you realize most of the issues you mentioned plagued Bill Clinton, when he was governor of Arkansas. The educational system was one of the worst in the United States at the time and poverty and crime were off the charts during his reign and he was the governor, not a Congressman or Senator. Yet, he still became one of the best Presidents of the last 50 years (personal weaknesses aside). Bill Clinton had the vision, charisma and work ethic to bring about change and I dare to say, Barack is even more potent in those areas than Clinton was. Even Reagan governed California at a time when gang violence and unemployment were rampant. He also served 8 years as President, when failing schools, crime, poverty and unemployment in rural, poor and minority communities ran rampant. However, "The haves" aka Wall Street made a mint under Reagan, so he's considered a godlike figure among Republicans. I'm not even 35 yet, but I don't remember poor folks thriving under Reagan, Bush Sr and Jr, as a youngster. The GOP's preoccupation with war, defense spending and tax breaks to the wealthy, will always mean the shaft to the poor and working class American citizen.Quote:

Clean energy and the total revamping of the country's electric grid are two things Obama is looking into. Barack understands the cyclical nature of money. He know that people will spend more, when they make more. Versus the GOP's "well hire more people, if we pay less taxes" nonsense. Problem is, these greedy bastards take the tax breaks and still ship the jobs overseas, so they can increase profitability and earn larger bonuses.
'Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss'
Obama? McCain? Both the same! I'm sorry but nothing will change for the better, as you will see as time goes by. Zbigniew Brzezinski is the real winner tonight, he can get on with his plans unhindered now...
Thanks for your 4th post.Quote:
