    -you do realize that muslim is a very peaceful religion, right? unfortunately there are radicals out there who kill in the name of that religion, when in reality, islam does not preach murder.
    -the last time i checked, bush did nothing to protect americans from a terrorist attack, either. remember that morning?
    -you do realize that pulling out of the war is a good thing, right? bush sent your soldiers to a country that had nothing to do with sept 11. dont get me wrong, getting saddam hussein was a good thing, but its time for your soldiers to go home to their families.
    -im not american and im very happy for the united states. i would have laughed my ass off if mccain would have been voted in.
    Of course he doesn't realise these things, he's an ignorant fool.

  • No they were laughing when they Dub was in office. Everyone thought he was a JOKE! Turns out they were right.

    Dude get over it. The best thing you can do is hope Obama succeeds and helps this country improve. Your guy lost. No matter who it was. That's done. Now it's time for us to move forward. There's so much shit to do and improve, whining about why he got elected is a waste of time. Come back in 6 months to a year. We will see how things have changed. Either way, things will have changed. You have no idea how Obama will do as president. He could fail, like George W. Bush did. I doubt that. It's really immature for people to hope he fails out of spite.

    He might have been kidding. I don't think very many people base their votes solely on celebrity endorsements. Some do.

    well, i'm not gonna tell you why it was a good thing but why would it be bad that he had a 'muslim background'?
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so

This man has proven nothing concerning how he can protect us when we are attacked by terrorists again, which we will be. he has NO experience. like it or not, we are still at war, for those of you who have forgotten. I wasn't nuts about McCain either, but we at least needed someone who could get us through the war instead of someone who is just going to pull us out of it. the rest of the world has got to be laughing their asses off at us right now.


    That is just about the most ignorant and backwards statement I've read today. Why am I not surprised?

    Really? Because I happen to share the ideology and values of a very politically vocal and active group of people who happen to be celebrities? I shouldn't vote? Ever?? Ever never ever???

    Politics change. But you seem unable to accept the hugely significant way in which it has already changed (in the form of public opinion) Voters turned out in record numbers for this election because they wanted change.

    And you have also ignored all the disasterous things your republican governent caused which brought about those changes in opinion. It was the right time.

    Bush didn't know how to protect us against terrorist attacks. Remember September 11, 2001 bombings happened on his shift.

    Joe Biden has worked extensively within the international arena, which is probably a major reason he was asked to be VP.

    Wow, that is easily the most ignorant, moronic post I've seen in quite some time. Obama's win is a HUGE step forward for your country. The last 8 years have been a disastrous clusterfuck of epic proportions that has affected the entire world. I'm absolutely elated that the American people finally stood up, said "enough is enough" and did the right thing. As a Canadian I'm extremely proud to be America's neighbor today.
