At school im already hearing rumors of another (maybe) "Martin Luther King shooting" going to happen. To me thats just taking this a little to far =\.

By the way, even though an African American is in office now, DOENT MEAN other African Americans get special benefits. Thats also something i heard someone say at my school-eth. Lets hope some people out there know that already.

Barack Obama, is not black/African American, he would technically be biracial. Obama's mother was white.

And his father was part Israeli. The man has a lot in him. So far, he's making the right decisions. He's been looking at economically inclined former Clinton Cabinet members for his Cabinet. I'm a little suspicious of his possible Chief Of Staff.

There's people who think that being rude and unproductive is funny and going to somehow make them cooler online. I kind of expected you to be above that.

My pouting lips give lie to my inner sadness. I shall make a move for reform. Cheers for your insightful advice.

I voted for Obama. When he won, there was a riot at my school. At least 4,000 people were running in the streets, gathered aroung a flagpole, and sang the SSB, among many other chants like USA!, O-BA-MA!, and such. The police were following them.

The reason I voted for Obama was because I believe that he can bring about the change that this country desperately needs. I agree with his tax plans and most of my political views line up with his platform.

@Josh: There's lots of controversiality that goes around Obama, but the truth is he was raised in a white society. So many people think that "Oh I voted for him because he's black".

And what are they, exactly? You say you agree with his tax plans, well what about them appeal to you? Or his political policies. What do you dislike or like about them that won your vote over McCain? It's so annoying how everyone says "I agree with this" and "I agree with that" when the rarely know what "this" and "that" are.

That's true but I was referring to his heritage. I think that Barack was the better choice over McCain.

AOD_ELEMENT · 11-8-2008, 11:03 AM

Ralph Nader has been trying to become the president for like 20 years

DoctorSerpentine · 11-8-2008, 11:04 AM

He'll get there one day.
YOU'LL ALL SEE
sniffle

**gnr61** · 11-8-2008, 11:10 AM

i doubt the margin of people who voted for obama strictly because he is black anywhere near outweighs the projected 7% of voters who feel they simply cannot vote for a black candidate. in the week preceding the election i got a series of pamplets entitled "The Real Negro Problem" warning of the black takeover that would come with an African-American president.

also i get the feeling that some of the people who say they supported ron paul are actually serious lmao and if that's true
kill yaself

Yeah. Did you hear about the 95% tax cut Obama's establishing to all those with middle class income?

**GG_Guru** · 11-8-2008, 01:53 PM

You do know that pretty much every voter ever just votes for one meaningless purpose, right?

Some people voted for Obama because he's black.
Some people voted for McCain because he's not black.
Some people voted for Obama because he's not running with Palin.
Some people voted for McCain because he's running with Palin.

Some people voted for Obama/McCain because they saw a sign on the side of the road with their name on it.
Some people voted for Obama/McCain because they believe the ads they saw while watching football.

I guarantee you maybe 1% of the voters actually understood or care about the issues the candidates talk about. This is America, man. We don't have the time for a real election. We settle for this.

If you were to make people take a quiz before voting with simple questions about the candidates' policies, you would have very few votes actually counted.

**ELRayford** · 11-8-2008, 01:59 PM

Write in rick astley.

**GG_Guru** · 11-8-2008, 02:00 PM

So its like basically saying, who gives a crap about politics? (besides voters who care)

I agree with his plan to raise taxes for the people who earn $250,000 or more a year, while we gives a tax break to everyone else who falls below that line.

Obama and I both want to get our troops out of Iraq really soon, but by doing it rationally.

We are both pro-choice.

I'm not trying to argue with you rzr, I'm just answering your questions and clarifying myself. Basically, I always knew that I wanted to vote, and I wanted to do it with as much of an informed decision as possible. So I watch the news, debates, and search the internet for information on every candidate so that I can make my decision and tell others why I chose him.
