QuoteQuoteActually, the elections used to be far more decisive all the time...these past three elections have actually been super close by comparison.
yea, and at least on two occasions your country, and how it's viewed from the world, has suffered a lot, due to that voting. now, one could assume that people actually start caring about it. and a lot of new voters have chimed in. which is good!
buy any international newspaper. not much whining from any country. i dont know how much you care how your country is looked at from the outside world, or how foreign policy has affected relationships.. but they've gone to complete shits.. not a good thing in an international community..
With all due respect to the rest of the world, I do not believe they have my country's best interests at heart, and as they do not have a dog in this fight, I do not care what they "want". It's great to "want".
What will surprise the rest of the world more is when President-elect Obama has his misques (and he will at some point) and there will be elements in the international scene that will want to throw him to the wolves, I'll also stand behind him tell the rest of the world off...
...the press in the US loves him too, just like the international press. It's pretty sad you drank all that without a second thought. When the euphoria fades, and the rest of the world wants to weigh in, I'll still feel the same way.

QuoteQuoteQuoteObama won because of his color, not his views.
Nope, I seriously don't think so. He won because the GOP have messed up your country BIG TIME. They need a change and Obama "sounds" like he can bring that change about
...... and they could not stand the possibility of Palin in the White House - that really would have been a complete disaster
95% of Black men and 96% of Black women voted for Obama, and Black people voted in record numbers. No it couldn't be about race for them.
So what % of blacks voted for Clinton?

Has it not occurred to you that NOT having most of the world pissed off at your country could be a good thing for your country?

No, it's about party affiliation for more than 40 years.

Quotei feel you're a bit short-sighted here. everyone knows that "america rules the world". do you think its not in our interest, to have your interest protected as well? recent financial crisis for example. americans fucked it up, the whole world suffers from it. how could it not be in our interest to protect yours?
I'm not being short-sighted, I'm being realistic. Europe wants to have its cake and eat it too. China has its own plan. Our role as the super-power is a selective convenience only it seems. The "barbarians" have been chipping away for 30+ years. I for one, will not roll over.

There's no shortage of that going on right now.

Swing and record turnout was not restricted to blacks. YOU are showing YOUR colors here, and they are not very attractive.
