James D 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I imagine this could be like at school, when the rich kid comes in with the latest game console, or something new and cool... we'll all want a black leader now.Where can we get one?*edit.. by the way, it's 4.00 am here in the UK, stayed up to watch one of the most significant moments in recent history, or possibly the whole of history. Bit tired.. and it's a good job I'm a sleep ninja, but I wanna see the speeches! Link to post Share on other sites

navybuttons 15 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I imagine this could be like at school, when the rich kid comes in with the latest game console, or something new and cool... we'll all want a black leader now.Where can we get one?often smaller models can often be used to represent larger ones. i don't believe that this makes them inherently flawed.this election as a whole is just evolution and the swing going back and forth. in a couple of years we'll have another swing over to the right, and on and on it goes. the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west but it is most obviously not the end of the world. my opinion is that too many of you are afraid of something (i would assume most often it's your money being stripped from you). i might propose that there's never anything to be afraid of. most of us will lead a very similar day this friday to the day we had last friday.

grocery_mony 8 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I never thought in my lifetime I would see this day. A man who had a name like his was able to overcome so much and win. If you really think about a man named Barrcak Hussein Obama was electect only 7 years after 911 its incrediblle.. I truly hope the race tensions between black and whites(of course there are others but that one seems to be the most heated) will be advanced on both sides with his presidency. This really opened my eyes to how really open minded the USA is when I thought race relations were hopeless in your country. I was in Las Vegas during hurricane Katrina and its aftermath and I heard something at the poker table that made my jaw drop in disbeleif. I was making small talk with 3 other men while waiting for a tournament to start. I said something like "thats pretty sad seeing all those people stranded in New Orleans". One mid aged guy says "who cares its only niggers" the other one said "just the lowest of the low" While the dealer nodded. I thought race relations were hopeless with attitudes like this but now I really do beleive that we are making progress and in another generation or too it will be history. Congrats on proving me wrong and long live the USA Link to post Share on other sites
James D 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 with english culture the way it is currently dizzie rascal will probably be our next prime ministerI've met Dizzee Rascal.. he's a really good guy.Just reading my posts in this thread, it may seem I'm against change or something. I'll just make it clear now, that I'm pro-Obama, and if I was American, I would have voted for him.But, best to err on the side of caution, imo, even in the face of over-whelming victory. Basically, I'm talking about the tens of millions of people who came out to vote, just for Obama... it's fantastic that 75% of your country came out to vote this time (I heard it was 62% last time.. so that's huge). But, of those extra tens of millions who voted Obama (many more young, many more female, many more African Americans), who think that when they wake up tomorrow, anything apart from their 'feeling of hope' will change.. well, they may be disappointed.I think this is a victory for the whole world in general though, and I'm happy Obama has won... I do hope my natural pessimism is proved wrong, and that this does signify a huge social, cultural and economic change throughout the globe... I'm just not holding my breath, that's all.

NickZepp 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 congrats to Obama, now lets see if he was all talk and if he actually acts on anything he's promised, his history says he's a lot more talk, but it's a short history. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 68 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 On another note, Al Franken is still in a dead heat with the republican incumbent for the senate seat in Minnesota. 46% of precincts reporting and they are separated by less than a hundred votes. It's also been one of the nastiest campaigns in recent memory, pretty equally from both sides as far as I can tell. Could get a lot nastier too if it takes all week to sort out a winner.

AmScray 355 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The fact remains, millions of disenfranchised blacks- who tonight are ecstatic- will wake up tomorrow and still be impoverished with no money in the bank.Millions of people who are being broken under the weight of health care bills who viewed Obama as their 'savior' - they will wake up tomorrow, with their man as president, and nothing will have changed... and this time next year, still nothing will have changed. Military moms and dads who voted for Obama to hopefully bring their children home will wake up tomorrow with their kids still in Iraq.People who have lost their jobs- who went to the polls today to "vote for change" - will wake up tomorrow and still be unemployed. People who were losing their houses (for whatever reason) and voted for Obama will not see the foreclosure proceedings cease. No matter how you wash it out, the election of Obama was a confluence of idealism and anger, disgust and hope, that simply will not resolve itself as cleanly as many Obama proponents hope it will. The man is not a savior. The man is not a god. The man may be inspiring, the man may give great speeches, the man may know precisely what chords to strike that will resonate loudest with the largest number of people but at the end of the day, tomorrow in America, things will still be exactly the same as they were yesterday. There is only so much a president can do, even when he has a complicit congress and house. In the years to come, every "idealist" in Grant Park who as I type this are making spectacles of themselves- they're all about to learn a stern lesson as far as what a president realistically can and cannot do.Sadly, so many people voted for Obama on the premise of a "hope" that is just not realistic, but such is the nature of "hope". Since the beginning of time, it's been democracies opiate, used to control the masses just long enough to get your foot in the door . Link to post Share on other sites
