If you voted for him then you have to do better than hope. We just put the most powerful nation in the world in the hands of a rookie.

also says something about his bulging pocket; Obama is the biggest example of how America runs on Credit, and not substance or actual value. Obama is only the praised savior now that he has the money and resources to solidify his reputation; he says what people want to hear; and he isnt bush. He hadnt been in the department of doing such good until he got into the race. I see him being just as big a political scheme as Palin was for Mccain. We can only wait and see, and I will not credit him the change before it happens, like so many faithfully blind are doing so

What you consider a "veteran" is exactly what we don't need. We need someone to breath new life into the government and change it up instead of McCain's plan to basically re-enact what Bush already did. Saying that you won't even give the guy a chance until he makes some changes is seriously pathetic. Obviously things cannot change overnight and having faith doesn't make you blind it actually can empower the situation. The fact that everyone came together and showed that we are a nation that is united as one is a pretty spectacular thing. I guess some people are just empty and have no sense of reality anymore and don't rejoice when things like this happen.
We have a black muslim running as president of america. I think that's pretty ****ing cool. That is a feat in itself to show how far we have come. A black muslim is exactly what America feared just a few years ago after 9/11. That's amazing to me.
Guarantee Obama breaks new grounds and ends up running for a second term.

I think by you assuming what mccain is going to do, you obviously know what Obama will do too? I didnt say by having faith makes you ignorant, as im religious...mustve missed the point. Ive seen what Obama has done in the past, and its not towards the betterment of the country, in fact its all been towards his career...up until the race. Faith is good, but Nationalism is bad, it just riles everyone up and makes people choose sides. Political parties werent ever supposed to be so lumping parties and ideas together is just extroverted. What do I have to be happy about? My state just passed a prop turning Heresay evidence into fact in a court of law. The Idea of Change is individual, and will only be worked through the way he likes and from what I see, he only talks about the issues that I frankly, dont care about. I dont want to build government, I want to break it down and then bring it back up. The change is up to us, not up to someone who isnt supposed to have as much of an abuse of power over all branches as they currently do. Anyone with that much power is bound to go sour, if the worm hasnt already burrowed inside. Ill happily elect Bill Cosby(Someone with a clear set of values, and aspirations and helpful insights, who never accredits himself the job even after its done, but keeps asking what else can be done?) before Ill happily elect Obama(Someone who's defamed his own pastor someone he looked up to for years until it became a political issue, an selfishly told everyone to pat themselves on the back for electing him president for what hes going to do[Exactly what Bush did in 2000]). I can quote many Bible verses showing how wrong this is. My point is Im not saying the campaign itself is bad, but the way it is done makes it bad

A Muslim held the head of Nick Berg up to the camera after cutting it off with a big knife. I do not care for any of them. So if you are happy a muslim is the president then may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch. McCain was not the answer, I agree. I want to see who Osama er bama chooses to fill out his cabinet. Quote:

Biden was all I had to see to know he was no good. Biden being someone who put tommy chong in prison, and Introduces bills like the RAVE act, making water illegal to possess in certain events

You are taking the fact that because certain members of a racial group commit crimes that they are all murderers. It's people like you who ruin this country and divide us when we need to be standing together to make a difference. If you're so damn pissed about the way the world is why don't you go do something about it? I don't see you standing up???
Yea, elect Bill Cosby as president...quite insightful. I guess a black man in office doesn't impress racists. The simple fact that he made it in office is already a big change that we needed.
I hope a plague of herpes infests your crotch for even spewing that arrogant remark. I think you should smoke a well needed blunt to the face and just forget you said that.

he'll break new ground alright, just maybe not the ground you think.
and you would think that someone like yourself that is such a fan of
the annointed one would know that he is supposed to be a christian,
not a muslim. of course, we don't know yet if he's telling the truth
about anything else either.
God help us all!

this is exactly why friends should not discuss religion or politics. i must say one thing though-this world has no room for racism. if youre gonna hate some one, at least hate them for a good reason.
my view on politics?legalize it! that would be the best thing this country has done for itself in a long time!

Everyone is free to express their opinion. Let us keep it peaceful! Please!
We all have this cause in commen. legalize it! let us hope it goes foreward in a positive way. We can not fight over what IS. It is totally pointless.
Peace, people. Peace.

I did not vote for Obama for many reasons. He's just not my cup-o-tea, but I can tell you 1 thing For Sure, we will be much closer to having this beautiful plant we all love so much, Decriminalized or at least De prioritized under an Obama Administration.McCain is for Much Harsher Laws on Pot than we even have now.Obama is not a Savior, he is just a man. Just my 2 cents.

do with the color of his skin, it's the color of his politics that scares me.
and Joe Biden a heartbeat away from the presidency?
that's a scary thought all by it's self.

now all we can do is live with the politicians we got, whether we deserve
them or not.
just remember, what made, what makes America the greatest nation on the
planet is our spirit of independence and the more we allow the government
to take care of us, the more of that spirit we choose to give up.
it's a real bitch gettin' it back!

On another note.. he is open to med marijuana federally if doctors can have some proof or clinical trials to back it up. so maybe there is SOME good potential in a politician that is open to change.

I dont want the feds handling my Cannabis. 100% against it. The change that we needed? What did we gain, other than a half black politican who says what people want to hear? Racism wont leave the south because theres a dark skinned guy in washington(Does anyone know what the point of the President is?!) Sounds like everyone was so scared of Bush(The 2nd illegitimate reason to vote for Obama) but is willing to reload the guns for Obama....I think were in for deja vu like in 2000. Yeah, definitely need to keep these type of posts peaceful, if you cannot argue correctly than dont try.
