Faith in America = Restored

I don't know if i'd go that far. 48% of the country still voted for McCain. :jay:

Talk like that when your country does anything half this amazing, like, you know, electing an aborigine.

Oh don't worry the US will never Elect a Native American.

[JaysonAych]

One last bit of Fox News schaudenfreude.

Holy shit dude. I want to move to the United States and work with Obama.

[TheWoerus]

And... the 1/2 million member crowd listening to Obama is being respectful to McCain.... muted clapping.

[TheWoerus]

Jesus. Look at that crowd.

So theoretically your faith in the country would still have been restored if Obama lost and the overall count was 48%-52% against him. 4% hardly makes a difference if you're just talking about the number of people voting for a black guy.

Yeah but we need 2/3's vote to do anything, if they just counted votes, it would never happen. Hence the Electoral vote thing. Some states are worth more than others

[Talon]

Yes!

I am batting a .333 now.

[1300ZUK]

Yes!

I am batting a .333 now.

.500 for me


but i've only voted in 2 presidential elections

[TheWoerus]

Yes!

I am batting a .333 now.

Same here.

Shut the fuck up Dunnas.

Why the fuck should should I? I questioned why it restored his faith in the country. You suggested it was because so many people voted for a black man, so I was just wondering if the actual victory was important or just the high numbers. Is the answer one you don't like, so you just told me to fuck off instead?


It's little wonder I've chosen to only come on here on about 5-6 occasions over the last 3 weeks.

[Talon]

Dunners, quit being a fucking downer, man.

+1. Also I can work in the US and I have a Canadian law degree..... just in case, you know, Obama needs someone to interact with your neighbor to the north.

[TheWoerus]

haha David Plouffe is now the most employable man in America.

[dunnas]

Dunners, quit being a fucking downer, man.

Forgive me if I don't think that 48% of the population voting for a Madman and a clueless bimbo to take the most powerful position in the world is something to inspire confidence in one's country.


Don't get me wrong though, my faith in the people, and government in particular, of my own country falls a little more each and everyday. Compulsory internet censorship for all and one guy deciding that there won't be any further talks at all about bringing in an R rating for video games dispite 90% of the community being for it. Yay for our communist dictatorship disguised as a democracy.

[1300ZUK]

some of those disgruntled McCain supporters true colors are showing through.

Fucking uneducated jesus freak bigots

[Aristotle]

oh god now the traders are bidding up the stock market futures. clowns.

It's woe we can believe in.

The comments on Fox News forums are precious. People talking about moving out of the country, talking about how they are no longer proud of their country (though whenever I've said that over the last 8 years, I was unpatriotic for some reason), that Obama cheated (though that's not explained) and that he bought the election...it's so cute.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Obama came a long way over the last 2 years...

Oh, and a lot of youth were corrupted into voting for him just like Hitler. And Obama supporters are non-Christians who only voted for him because the STD medications they take did something crazy with their brains. Really.

[TheWoerus]

Man I'm still watching this Al Franken / Norm Coleman race.... it's close. Real close.

[JaysonAych]

Yeah, there's still some good Senate races out there.

Even though it doesn't matter, I'm looking at the remaining states. MSNBC just called Indiana for Obama. I'm fucking shocked.

[JaysonAych]

And the Onion brings it...

http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/republican_party_average

"The Republican Party wishes to thank the average working Joe for his cooperation and faithful support, and we look forward to acknowledging his needs again in 2012," said GOP representative Luke Hayes, moments before getting in a car and heading back to Washington. "Until then, old friend, we'd just like to say happy trails to you and best of luck."

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/nation_finally_shitty_enough_to

Carrying a majority of the popular vote, Obama did especially well among women and young voters, who polls showed were particularly sensitive to the current climate of everything being fucked. Another contributing factor to Obama's victory, political experts said, may have been the growing number of Americans who, faced with the complete collapse of their country, were at last able to abandon their preconceptions and cast their vote for a progressive African-American. After enduring eight years of near constant trauma, the United States is, at long last, ready for equality.
Citizens with eyes, ears, and the ability to wake up and realize what truly matters in the end are also believed to have played a crucial role in Tuesday's election.

http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/hillary_clinton_resumes

Less than 20 minutes after Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States, New York senator Hillary Clinton officially resumed her political attacks against the Illinois senator and president-elect....Clinton has also released a series of coordinated television and radio ads questioning the near half hour Obama has spent away from the White House, his failure to meet with a single foreign leader at Camp David since being elected, and the current lack of any female or minority appointments to his cabinet.

[TheWoerus]

Well, it's 12:30 here, so it's about time to hit the bed.

Prop 8 and Franken are going to have to wait until tomorrow morning.

[Pete.Z]

Good morning,and congrats all!
