strattakan Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 for 51% of Obama vs 48% of Mccain, this is the 3% most expensive in the history of elections worldwide...

JohnG Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 McCain concession speech was beautiful. I hope people pay heed to his words. I may not agree with some of his views, but he is a great patriot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Let just wait and see. I sincerely hope he able to work with Congress and get things done. Btw, I didn't vote for him but I still hope he will be a good President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestripes Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I hope all your threats to move to other countries, calling this the worst day and a tragedy are NOT due to racial tension. He will make a great president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthier Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I hope all your threats to move to other countries, calling this the worst day and a tragedy are NOT due to racial tension. He will make a great president. I don't give damn about skin color, race or nationality. But I definitely care to where America will go from now. I only wish he'll be a good Prez, I have nothing against him personally, he's no doubt an extraordinary man, but I have a lot against some of his ideas.

JohnG Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I hope all your threats to move to other countries, calling this the worst day and a tragedy are NOT due to racial tension. No, it is just childishness. I would have been disappointed if McCain-Palin had won, but I have enough respect for the office, my fellow Americans, and the democratic process, to not go crying about running off to another country. If people want a single party system where there is no election cycle and the political debate and dissent that necessarily implies, LET them move to another country. Clearly, the United States is not the place for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtown Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I was wondering why so many here are against Obama, but then I remembered the likely economic demographic of this forum. I love the forum, don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure most people here have a disposable income and are more concerned with that than positive social change. Most wealthy individuals trend towards Republicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstroker Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 It's a tragedy. Obama's victory is potentially the greatest of all American historical events. Kennedy can hold a candle to this guy, but hand it to him immediately. We are doomed.... Might as well move to Venezuela or back to Cuba..it's the SAME $hit i'm affraid. Now is a good time to have had duel-citizenship with Spain or some other country Interesting viewpoint. Now thats what I call a gamble. Cuba???? lol....dont be so paranoid. Obama will bring balance to our nation. Let just wait and see. I sincerely hope he able to work with Congress and get things done. Btw, I didn't vote for him but I still hope he will be a good President. Thats what Joe Biden is for! Biden knows the in's and out's of it all.

Now is a good time to have had duel-citizenship with Spain or some other country Adios Amigo... You basically have two options at this point in American history. A. Become an activist and do something about the wrongs you see. B. Put your tail between your legs, crawl in to the deepest cave you can find and wait for Armageddon. (or run to some other country and see if THEY want you) Both candidates are great Americans. Both have good and bad ideas. Fortunately we (Americans) live in a country where WE can determine who our leader is. And it appears that we have done just that. Sen. McCain has vowed to do what he can to work with the Dem. Congress and Pres. Obama, MAYBE you should do the same or STFU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 No, it is just childishness. I disagree. If Luthier feels that way, he feels that way. He said he has issues with Obama's policies and ideals- that's fine, that's what America is about...the ability to have your own opinion and vote that way. In this case, the majority of Americans did not agree with him, which is also OK- that's the way democracy works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is a good time to have had duel-citizenship with Spain or some other country Ive got a Zodiac in my back yard I will give ya... Ive made the trip from Key West to Cuban waters before, of course I was in a 40ft. Wellcraft. If you start paddling, it should only take you a 7-10 days. But then again, you probably know how long the trip is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstroker Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Here is an interesting fact.... For the first time in history, Missouri's majority vote did not side with the elected president. Missouri has never been wrong. Up untill now, Missouris majority vote has always been correct.
