    Wow, nice.

    Have some optimism man, we've finally gotten rid of one of the biggest failures in our countries history. I think someone really needs to top of your half empty glass ;)

    Yeah.. I think it's awesome that he broke those barriers, but that's not why I voted for him. I'm more concerned on what he can do for our economy. Personally I can care less that the rest of the world thinks we made the right choice.. I just want to see some positive results.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    Perhaps sliding into home would be more appropriate? lol

    This is what I mean, Trailer. What about the people?

    dunk, I'm afraid to say you pretty much fell right into my trap, bud. When it comes to politics, it's always about the result, not the promise or charisma. He could be the biggest hope in the world, right time, right place but when he makes a difference to everyone's lives, then I will get excited.

    We're all hoping for results...and sure Obama will lead the charge - but he's gonna need cooperation to get those results...and as a community organizer that's one thing he knows how to do well. Every politician has got their agenda - and sometimes those agendas don't even differ that much - it's the ability to get the agenda moved through that gets things done. You gotta have hope to get results - to even DREAM of the possible results you gotta have hope - and today I've got that :)

    your trap? wtf are you on about :confused:

    he's already made a difference to peoples lives... there are black people in america who lived through segregation... they now have a black president elect... thats the difference to their lives, thats something they never thought they'd see.

    Well Braveheart is one of my favorite movies.. so I guess I do care what the descendants of William Wallace think.
    Some people say that movie is historically inaccurate.. but I think that's just British propaganda.

    So you're partially right.. I don't care what the rest of the world thinks, unless their country has had a movie made about them by Mel Gibson.:D

    Just one of those momentous days in your life where you have hope in humanity and positive views of the future.

    I am sure it won't last long, but isn't it nice while it lasts!

    It's like driving home after an awesome first date :D
    Yeah, me too.
    Politics aside, I think this is a monumental achievement for America that EVERYONE can be proud of that we've gotten this far.

    But once he sworns in, he better make GOOD changes and NOT fuck things up like his predecessor. ;)

    He is stepping into a total shit storm of converging crises. Despite the positive changes he will hopefully bring to the table, he isn't going to be able to walk away without getting some on himself.

    I don't expect things to get better in his first year.

    But I'm really enjoying the positive energy that many Americans and people around the world are feeling right now. :)

    good answers ;)

    although when Braveheart came out, nobody thought Mel Gibson could play a Scot. But look at him now, an alcoholic racist!
