Posted January 20, 2009 It's great that not only does the biggest country has a black president, but also that he is a man with such determination and charisma. His personality really shows through and I definately hope he leads then world forward in a positive way. Like someone above said he'll definately have a positive affect on the people of America. I mean, look at Bush or Gordon Brown; they might know what they're talking about but they don't really give off any good vibes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 21, 2009 The fact that he's black is pretty invalid if you ask me, his race shouldn't matter. I do wonder whether it was his politics that got in in to the white house or just the colour of his skin? Don't get me wrong though, i do think he'll do a good job. His policies seem very sound. I'm just of the opinion that there was very little to choose between this year's front runners and that he pretty much won because he played the race card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 21, 2009 ^ What McPhee said. Although there is alot of doubt about how he will do in office, plenty of people seem to think he will turn America into a socialist country. I really don't understand the fears though myself, there are other branches of the government set up to guard against those things, but I digress. Idk what he'll manage in office, but it can't be much worse than what Bush did. Hell anything would be better than Palin too(voting for McCain was the same as voting for her, he'd probably die at some point leaving her in charge*shudders*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 MIT researchers will be pushed to crossbreed chickens with watermelons. Hahaha, I'm surprised his presidential limo doesn't have 30" spinners I really don't know why everyone's so happy that a black man is in power, rather, that the right man is in power. If you got McCain and Obama and switched their colours I'd want the white man to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2009 The fact that he's black is pretty invalid if you ask me, his race shouldn't matter. I do wonder whether it was his politics that got in in to the white house or just the colour of his skin? Agreed. People that were voting for McCain because he was white was considered racist. Yet the millions of black people voting for Obama because he was black is somehow ok? I'm not saying that Obama wasn't the best candidate because he clearly was, but that doesn't stop it from being racist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 21, 2009 Unfortunately Arnie can't be President of the USA as only natural born American's can. The disappointing thing about Obama being President now is that Mock the Week and HIGNFY have just lost one of their best targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or for anybody for that matter. Saying that, it's a nice step forward to have a black president and he seems like he'll try pretty hard to do a decent job. Hurray.

Posted January 21, 2009 The reason that its significant that America have elected a black president is that as Obama said, 50 years ago, he wouldn't have been able to eat at many restaurants. It doesn't make him any better of a president obviously, it just shows that America has come a long way in the last while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
