I see nothing wrong with what Krimson is posting. He is proud of Obama and Obama won. Nothing wrong with praising a victory. You'd better buckle down GmX5..you're in for about 9-10 months of this
Personally I'm hoping for the best in Obama's cabinet picks.
Things I'm HAPPY about with Obama being POTUS:
- Finally show the benefits/losses of socialism
- Finally prove why you don't simply sit back and play defense in the DoD game
- Learn how wrong Bush was in foreign policy
- Find out how bad or good DEMs can run the economy when they are in full instead of 2/3 control
- Get to drop the whole "US is a huge racist" tag, though I'm sure it will still be used
- Get to see if the media has any nuts left and if they will actually criticize Obama as they have the last POTUS for 8 years
- I'm encouraged by Obama's Chief of Staff pick.
- I'm curious if he will start paying back the people that sponsored his nearly 1B campaign run
Bad things if McCain won:
- All of US would have been labeled a racist
- Would have heard media chatter about how "we've stepped back today, instead of stepping up"
- Foreign policy would have stayed pretty much the same for better and worse
Things that disgusted me about the campaigns:
- First and foremost the way Sarah Palin was treated. Unbelievable. If my wife was that disrespected, I'd kill people and be in jail now.
- No definition of what "Change" is and no media delving into anything on Obama
- McCain's inability to actually "do" anything aside from simply rely on past performance
Things that make me happy about the whole situation:
- US again shows that you can completely change your direction of power with out death and fraud.
Thing that I'm sad about
:
- Why out of the majority of media interviews I'm seeing are blacks the primary interviewee. Last I checked nearly 50% of white voters voted for Obama
There may be a racial divide somewhere but IMO it isn't on the white side of the stick.
Sorry to derail the thread.
