Obama Wins Landslide Victory

Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked so Barack could run. Barack ran so our children can fly.

Hey for me this is the end of the French Revolution - Liberty, Equality and Fraternity - I believe that the ideas fought for in French revolution were embodied in the American constitution and now we are seeing implementation of the ideals - Good luck to Obama I hope he is tough and uncompromising in the appropriate situation. The French will still have to rationalise Neopolon - but it should not take much longer.

What a load of romanticised BS.  What are you guys are smoking?

Not a brain cell between you. Blessed are the ignorant, for you shall inherit the Earth!

because you have so much to bring to the table?  So you say you think all these postings are rubbish but can't say why?  Bet you can do better than that.

This is as much a rejection of the Bush years as it is a victory for Obama.

His victory was hardly surprising after McCane's geriatric performance and his complete disregard for a running mate with strong economic experience.

However Obama was right when he said America makes a virtue of selfishness and his liberal policies may humanize mainstream America. If he succeeds, USA will become more like Canada. But he will be spending our money...USA has none.

Before we celebrate his deserved victory let us see how he deals with the big issues such as FTO's which have laid US industry to waste...and the rogues of this world such as Israel, Pakistan, Iran, north Korea...

The good news is however successful or otherwise his presidency may be, I do not believe we have to endure another second of African-American whinging, excuses and positive discrmination.
But old habits die hard...

I wish him the best of luck.

And you think the crap written by the 3 posters before Beam is of value??? Beam me up indeed!

I have been incredibly disappointed with Barack Obama.  His early success with implementing changes in the American health care system was impressive, but alas it has all been downhill ever since. 

*He is clearly in bed with the bastards who have brought my country to its knees (BANKERS).  The Fin Svcs industry is shredding proposed changes to the regulatory framework, and Obama is doing nothing about it
*He has done a full 360 on American overseas (primarily Middle East) military adventures as evidenced by The USAs involvement in Lybia
*He has also flipped on the issue of trying terrorism suspects in mainland USA

'Change you can believe in' indeed!

This is a dream ticket - Jesse "The Body" and Ron Paul!!!  Those guys will get shit done:

With the exception of GITMO, I personally wouldn't use the term "incredibly." I do wish he'd been able to deliver on more of the promises, but getting things done in any big government is an exercise in compromise. With the Republican party bifurcating into moderates and RWNJs (whom the moderates are trying hard not to alienate) and the RWNJs screaming "no compromise" it's kinda hard to get more things done (witness the looming shutdown).

You also don't get things done by talking tough (Jesee) or by being a wee bit too "out there" (Ron Paul). I also don't see the Republican party getting behind those two, and I don't see a third-party candidate winning in the US in this next election.

Jalanperak,

"....I do wish he'd been able to deliver on more of the promises, but getting things done in any big government is an exercise in compromise..."

Indeed, and this (big government) is at the center of the problem.  I will admit that it is unreasonable to expect Obama (as the chief executive of this big Gov't) to want to shrink it

"....With the Republican party bifurcating into moderates and RWNJs (whom the moderates are trying hard not to alienate) and the RWNJs screaming "no compromise" it's kinda hard to get more things done (witness the looming shutdown)..."

Yes, this is the price that the Republican party is paying for all those years of trying to be all things to everyone

"....You also don't get things done by talking tough (Jesee)..."

He is a former Governor who by most accounts did a good job in Minnesota.  I don't see that he is any less qualified than others out there

"...or by being a wee bit too "out there" (Ron Paul)..."

If you read the man's writings (and there are decades' worth to sift through), he is not "out there" at all.  He makes rational sense, and his arguments are most closely aligned with the precepts of the founding fathers and the Constitution itself (two examples are the abolition of the Fed and non-interference in other sovereign countries' affairs)

"... I also don't see the Republican party getting behind those two,..."

Of course not....they will run as independents

"...and I don't see a third-party candidate winning in the US in this next election..."

I agree with you....barring another cataclysmic event, I think that Obama will be re-elected.  I will not be voting for him this time around, though

He's a crap president who happens to be black, if Hilary had won she would have been a crap President who happened to be female.... You aren't going to get change - Obama has clearly demonstrated that even if you raise a bucket load of money through popular contributions, even if you excite people who have never voted, even if you have a clear mandate - NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. 

Obama was the first President in a generation to have the opportunity to do something new and exciting but instead he got himself a tube of KY and let the republicans have their way with him in the spirit of compromise and negotiation.... If McCain had won I don't think the country would have been as disappointed...  Obama would seemingly be a very poor negotiator when it comes down to it... he squandered his political capital on very little and last November the Democrats didnt bother to come to vote because they effectively had a republican in the whitehouse.  All this crap about him being socialist... he is more right wing than Regan.
