What i want explained is why as an Englishman, i had to spend weeks my time looking at reams and reams of commentary, analysis and pictures of an election that had NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH ME?
The first time I read this, I thought you said you were president of the Apache Party. And I thought, "What??" And then I thought, "Cool."MaxTheReaper said:
But I read it wrong, so it is neither what nor cool. More like "meh."
See what I did there? You're welcome for the thousandthsesed time.
I love Obama because after George "I'm the Nukular Prezidend" Bush, any president short of George "I'm the Nukular Prezidend" Bush is worth loving.

I know that Palin made some mistakes, but I don't see why everyone is so overly hostile of her. It really irritates me. I mean, one thing I heard was how much clothing she got. Well, turn it right around and look at Obama's wife. She's got lots of clothes too, so don't be hating Palin for following the stupid fashion trends simply because she's white.
It seems to me that whenever something like this comes up, it's always ol' whitey who gets the fall. Oh well, maybe I'm just tired of black people getting a free ride against insulting us, when no one can say anything back unless they're black. It's not racism that concerns me, it's just the way people are so quick to jump on the word racist, but never stop to look at what the other side is doing, too.
I hope he's a good president, though. I voted for him. Mainly because McCain seemed like he just didn't have it in him this time, and he sounded so different from the last time he ran, it was depressing.

He's a good speaker, and that can inspire people and give the hope. very powerful in democracy. Sorry to sound condesending, but that hoe I see it.
Of course people are staring to think that Obama is a failiure because he din't solve all the world's problems in under three months. he overhyped himself to the point that he can't possibly live up to expectations, a la Beatlemania.

Oh... s-sorry. I'm allergic to bullshit...
Seriously, guys. Obama wasn't voted on simply because he's black. Obama had one of the largest turn outs from college students -ever- because of his christmatic speeches and promising campaign message. Hell, if your going to blame it on his physical looks at all its because he's pretty damn young compared to most presidents.
He's not George Bush, a huge plus. And look at the other option in the election. Nobody who chooses Sarah Palin over all other options is trusted in my book. I don't really care that he's not white. He could be purple and I would be just fine. As long as he's got a brain, good policies, and a smart staff, it's good enough for me...
alright alright chill with that. no he wasn't voted in just because he's black, if you think that than you're an idiot. his approval ratings are way down anyways, i don't know why you think everyone worships him, although i wouldn't regard that as reliable information anyway because even if they're "accurate" polls don't provide anything of real substance. you're (the OP) right though about most people on this site liking him just because well their hardcore liberal and consider anything conservative to be the DO NOT WANT of humanity.Booze Zombie said:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. He was a bad choice. So was McCain. It was a choice of who you wanted to shit on your face. Only problem with that is you're still going to have someone shit on your face. But he was the media's darling, and he was it: The Chosen One. They didn't delve into his experience, or ask him any hard questions. He was basically unvetted as a candidate.
Whatever. That's done with, for better or worse. He our president now. A fact with which people who didn't like George Bush could never seem to cope. Now, I didn't vote for him (or McCain, for that matter), but he our president, and I hope he does a good job. He's off to a rocky start, picking people who just can't seem to obey laws that everyone else has to obey, but I hope he gets past this and does a fantastic job of running this country.
(Unfortunately, I also don't think it's going to happen. Democrat or Republican, well, they're two sides of the same coin, and coin is what they're all after. We're fucked. Big and bigger government from both parties is all the outcome we were getting. Which is too bad.)

The thing with Palin's clothes was that she spent campaign money on expensive clothes. I didn't really care about her though, we weren't electing a vice president.Hiroshi Mishima said:
nice job quoting I, Robot.Lyiat said:
keep saying that he wasn't chosen just because he's black. maybe after a while you'll convince yourself that it's true.
and your own argument just destroyed and credibility he might have. college students follow him because of his charismatic speeches and promising campaign message.... and that's about it. And I guess it really matters how many college students think he's great, given that many college students don't do anything to change the world. Even today it's still up to the middle-aged middle class to sort out the world's bullshit.
you know who else had charismatic speeches and a promising campaign message? Adolf fucking Hitler.
You know who else did? Ronald Fucking Reagan. I'm just going to say that, just because a bad person had oratory skills doesn't mean that no good person can, or that oratory skills are inherently bad.Mr0llivand3r said:
Yeah yeah yeah.
The democrats will never learn. Their policies just don't work.
But anyways, about Obama.
He's going to put the country 20 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, he's going to riase taxes on the working, not to mention the fact that he purposely allowed the AIG bonuses to go through so he could be save the American taxpayers from GREED and CAPITALISM.
What's so good about this picture again?

Sigh.
People, people!
No one here (on the Escapist) loves him because of his race! But there are misinformed people out there that do.
Look, he's the first left-wing liberalist America's had in a long time. Seeing how the US have a lot of sway in global politics, it's good to see someone that isn't a gun-tooting, god fearing American.
This guy is actually doing something nice for people, unlike his predasessors(sp?) who spent way too much money on war then they should have.
As for the issue of the colour of his skin, ask yourself this:
Would McCain have gotten in if he was black? Hells no! Hells no! That man is in no way fit to run a country like the US. I wouldn't vote for him in any case, period.
To the people thinking, it's the colour of his skin, then shouting every detail of why they hate him, at least look up his policies and do a lil' research. This guy is what America needed right now.
