Hillary gave up (election+general politics thread as well)

Anything goes here, so long as it's clean and follows standard forum rules.

The guy reminds me of Alan García, as far as mic skills and convincemente power goes. Hope Obama doesn't go like Alan's first run (see Perú 1985-1990).

I'm interested in seeing what he can do. USA has been under the Republic wing for 8 years, it was gonna be hard for the Democrats to lose since everyone wants a change. I orignally preffered Hilary over Obama (Obama's "yes we can" line/campaign annnoyed me to no end, since I've heard that crap from other candidates, institutions and whanot, only to see them not delivering) ... but when it came down to him and McCain, it ws initially a coin toss until a few weeks ago, where I thought McCain's party seemed weaker than Obama's.

I took an online quiz and it leans me 58% Obama - 42% McCain, despite how I feel about both.

Frankly, it reminded me of something out of Dora the Explorer. I swear there's a similar line in there, anyways.

Hail To The Chief! Barack O'Xana has been elected 44th President of the USA! Policies include carpet-bombing Kadic Academy, and increased funding for Project Carthage.

Bleh, I gotta admit, he ran a great campaign and quoted Bob the Builder less and less.


Now, let's see what he'll do.

I'm going to take all of the above positive Obamarama criticism and compress it into a really big single word:

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

It's one word repeated <s>three</s> four times.

I'm happy that Obama won, but I kind of liked Hillary better...

Do you suppose she'll go for it again? 'Cos if she won in 2012, that'd be epic.

My thoughts exactly. May she find peace and love in Republican Heaven.

She's with Sissi now.

I agree, it is not worth killing ones self over, but also not making fun of something that should be left alone either... What Taelia said wasn't right, but still guys you don't need to make fun of it. Death is no laughing matter.

I just wish they'd come up with something a bit more creative. I mean, I know that 42 senators aren't going to be okay with the new universal health care bill, but it's pretty easy to see that "Abner Aackerman, (617) 555-6034" doesn't have anything to do with health care.

Abner's a taxpaying citizen, thank you very much.

A guy on my floor doesn't the like the plan. He served two years in the military, which has universal care for its members. He says that the system is heavily abused, and it's often hard to get care for a real ailment because so many other people fake it. (He was also part of one of the groups that found chemical weapons in Iraq.)

Anyway, I see thast happening in the future too. I just hope Barry keeps away from Homeschooling. I mean seriously, just because we're not following the teachings of C Everett <s>flown the</s> Koop doesn't mean I can't freaking graph an equation.

The other watchmen who are watchers watch the watchmen watch those being watched. And we don't gas minorities with them.
