US presidential election 2008

I always thought twiz was from Finland.

Quote from st0lve

Yeah spelly, there actually was an documentary on SVT1 on saturday or sunday I think it's good that they actually said what they feel. Their vote count just as much as Joe the buttcrack.

Yeah i saw, allbeit i had allready seen it, was just a reminder for me. And yeah i totally agree, escpecially since most of those people are art oriented and have their view on politicians.

Aww, I was about to post it!

This is what we can call an epic win guys.

YES THEY DID!

Wierd, Obama wa elected some 8-9 hours ago and i see no thread about it. So i made my own. Congratulation to a historical night all. It just show you that americans indeed have more to be proud of then i ever thought. I have to say it tok guts to go vote for whats best for america at this time. And gg on you.

Now and this is a bit synical but for you i hope it will show not to be true, nothing much will actually change in the country and i have a bad feeling it will be over pretty fast. With some crazy extremist(sp?) crawling in the bushes and whack him off.

It is about time USA goes all the way, have been a lot of talk about equality but no workshop so far. So again great job people and congratulations!

I don't know why you don't think anything will change. When has a new administration ever not changed things significantly? Just look how much the Bush administration has changed the world. Plus there's now a new party in power: the democrats, after being out for eight years.

I have to say that I was surprised by just how much of a landslide victory Obama enjoyed. I mean, 349 electoral votes to McCain's 162? McCain didn't even manage to reach 50% of Obama's success. Good to see the US can see who the clear choice is.

Merged your thread with the existing election thread, btw.

on the one hand - party. on the other: obama's most probably not gonna end death-sentence, not gonna restrict weapon trade and he's most probably not gonna make any changes to the patriot act and stuff like that.

Well at least he seems to be the best educated president in somewhat like the last 2 decades.

I don't think either that things will change much, it's the people who change their country and it takes time to makes them change it. Selling changement in politics is a well efficient way to be elected, Sarkozy did that in France and except some very demagogic projects of law to please the people, nothing really changed, it's maybe even worse.

However the positive point i find in Obama's election is that it will probably modify, in the good way, the point of view the "rest" of the world has on the US , and it's certainly the best thing it can happen.

Kokos, thats a large part of why I voted for him.. I mean I expect him to make some changes, obviously he won't be able to do everything he'd like to. But you're right, its the people who change the country and I think Obama really inspires people to move in the right direction. He's an extremely intelligent, well-spoken black man and I think he's already helped change/reduce the stereotypes some people hold. And I'm not just talking about race, I'm talking about his policy and political stance, I think he can convince a lot of people that being liberal is not a bad thing.

And changing the way the rest of the world views us, thats another huge reason why I voted for him. I'm sick of seeing Bush making a fool of all Americans day after day after day. I knew Obama was going to win, I just wanted to see by how much. I think the margin of victory(and the ammount of Senate seats the dems took as well) showed the whole world that we know our leadership is completely fucked and we desperately need someone with a new line of thinking in power.

I just wonder what everyone was smoking last election.
