New President USA

[woodybee]

Well, just got home and heard on the radio that th USA has got a new President, Obama.....probably spelt that wrong as per usual.

Well done, the USA for choosing someone who isn't a war monger, boy that Bush has made a fuck up of the world on a grand scale.

I have a feeling that this dude could change the world for the better, or am I just hoping. Fuck he has one hell of a job on his hands.

Wish the guy all the success in the world.....and he's fit as, always a bonus.

Have a bit of cash left before pay day and off to taost Mr. Obama;s success, which is most unusual for me..........to take an interest in America or the presidential campaign

But being a brit and watching what Bush did over the years, sickened me to the gut, and been following articles about this guy and watching him on the telly, he really has a great air about him, and breathes newness into that confused country.

Bush used to Use the PM Blair (UK Priminster before tosser Brown) as his glove puppet, so now that Bush has gone, I really have breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, I know that politicians are all the same, but maybe just maybe, dudes and dudess's this guy could really make a difference, got a good feeling in the pit of stomach about him, and like I said he's fit as, and that's important to him, to woohoo....good for him.

Good Luck America!!!

The Dawn of a new era, not only for you, but for perhaps the rest of the world.

:rockon: Obama.:sunny:

[007XX]

Well, if the US can finally see sense, maybe there is hope for New Zealand yet! :rolleyes:

Go Mister Obama, you indeed have a hell of a lot of work ahead.

[slofox]

Let's just hope the loony fringe in the deep south don't do anything stoopid...some of those rednecks don't have a brain to share between ten of them........

[BASS-TREBLE]

I wouldn't be surprised if they do,
What happened to the last black president?

[BuFfY]

Is very exciting.
Pyrocam is over there for work and is currently at the rally. Where Obama is. Was quite exciting to see it on the news live.

[discotex]

About farkin time huh!

He talks the talk. Now we get to see if he can walk the walk.

Only wish we had a candidate as worthy of our votes.

[Hitcher]

Barack Obama is only a politician. He's not a god, nor does he possess superhuman powers. And he is only the President of the United States of America. About the only thing he is able to do without the support of Congress is to take that country to war. That could be an entirely sensible move, given the parlous state of that country's economy, and the USA's reputation is pretty much rock bottom with other countries in the world.

Good luck to President-elect Obama. I suspect he will need it.

[Ivan]

I wouldn't be surprised if they do,

Democrats now have Congress and the House............

[driftn]

Good for him I like the guy. I do wonder how ever do you think the TAB has any od's for how long it is before he is shot?

[hospitalfood]

hitler had amazing presence

and of course he will need his own version of the SS to avoid the lead poisoning the KKK has in mind for him.

i am very interested to see how it pans out

[Fatt Max]

Let's just hope the loony fringe in the deep south don't do anything stoopid...some of those rednecks don't have a brain to share between ten of them........

Agree 100% with this sentiment. It is a worry with these rednecks, they see anything non-white as a threat to their small world. I am very anti PC but I fear for the new guy, these numbnuts are the guys that start wars and create the shite we are in now.

Here's hoping anyway

[popelli]

a man elected on a promise of change

change to what exactly?

my feeling is he is another Winston Peters and his honeymoon with the electorate will be short lived

[rainman]

Only wish we had a candidate as worthy of our votes.

Ain't that the truth.


Well, if the US can finally see sense, maybe there is hope for New Zealand yet! :rolleyes:

Now to watch the Nats claim this as a victory for change, and Labour as a victory for the left...

[The Lone Rider]

+1 to Hitcher for actually getting the american system.

President is head of the military. Senate and House or representatives make the rules.

All simplified way to put it of course.


As an American, good on Obama. I didn't vote.

As an American.. I have to say I also don't give a toss. (same for the NZ elections)

I hope to what ever is up there, that Obama isnt shot........fuck yeah he is a politician, but America and the rest of the world were sick of Bush, and have all sung the song of BRING IT ON for a new president.....for years over there, people have wandered around not liking the fact that the rest of the world hadn't got a good thought of them...........

I do truly believe in this guy Obama, and genuinely that with a huge force behing him (most of which is good and want to change), that the possibilities for peace in the world is huge.

Hope is good Hitcher, and lets all hope that Obydude, can take the USA into a new era of hope faith and happiness, for sure the country needs it.

If there was one place to be at this very timefor a fucking big party then America is it today, I am stuck to the telly watching the hysterics of the American people, there's tears and you can feel the enthusian seeping through the tv.............

Man of Man this is something special that has happened in the world today, I really do believe it.

And, as I have said before boy the guys fit as a butchers dog.....meow........ha ha shallow to the end.

Rock on Democracy.........
:yeah::niceone::woohoo::clap:

And Obama, if you ever get to read this, I have just come back from the pub and had a :drinkup:for you, and five mates and I raised our glasses to you.....

Again boogy woogy woogy, go Amercia, and by fuck I never thought I would say that.......

[raftn]

and he gets to fly around in fis own company 747 .............kewl!

[martybabe]

I sincerely hope he fulfills the promise that people see in him but all to often these politicians arrive with a fanfare and an entourage of the the hopeful only to become just another caretaker/manager, or worse still just another warmonger, nothing radically good ever seems to happen.

I wish him well and I wish him safe and may he lead the merkins in a direction other than conflict and V twins :yes:

I'm in agreement with Hitcher's sentiments; Mr Obama seems like an excellent chap, but one can only hope that the American electorate does not become unreasonable and expect him to work miracles.

You could argue that he's being handed the most difficult situation that any incoming Murkn president's had to handle in the last four decades. Much of his first-term 'performance' will, I suspect, be dictated by factors out of his control.

Anyhow. Good luck to him!

[MisterD]

...and now the Seppos have got their very own version, lets see if there's any substance to match the style...

[Katman]

Denmark (I think it was) used to (and may still) have an underground sweepstake where people would make a list of those who they thought would die during the next 12 months. The deceased needed to be well known enough for their death to be reported in a few national newspapers. Huge money could be won on this somewhat bizarre lottery.

I suspect Mr Obama has just become one of their favourites.

For the record - I'm rapt to see him win.

Mind you, it was a rather foregone conclusion - John McCann appeared to be a caricature of himself and Sarah Palin just appeared to be retarded (albeit in a pretty way).

[jrandom]

Sarah Palin just appeared to be retarded (albeit in a pretty way).

Fuckin' oath, she can be retarded whilst sucking my cock any day.

(Subject to written permission from Stickchick, etc.)

She certainly doesn't appear capable of much more than that, though. Thank fuck she's being sent back to Alaska.

Well Obama is the start of change and hope and the future needs to be beyond 4 years...change is always hard so I don't think we should expect miracles from Obama but the fact that he has become the first black President in a Country largely racist, is a miracle of hope for the future.

I have to admit that is was quite interesting to watch. The oldest pressy or the blackest. The dumbest VP or ... whoever the other dude was.

It was all about one of the biggest marketing campaigns ever. The shareholders of USA have chosen a very good new face for there company.

It's amazing what over one billion dollars can get ya.

But I think the land of the "free" appears to finally be doing something right

[discotex]

For whom though...................

Those who watch the sex-tape on YouTube.... :sweatdrop

[alanzs]

Good luck to Obama.

[Street Gerbil]

Good luck to Obama.
Why? He has all the luck he needs. No matter how badly he messes up or no matter how favorably he treats his unsavory pals, media will cover for him. His worshipfulness can do no wrong - no matter what happens it will be BushCo's fault.
Well, I hope America is strong enough to survive 4 years of socialist presidency.
I hope poor wee New Zealand can survive the resulting mayhem as well...
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL, G-D BLESS OUR POOR SOULS...

Congrats to all bad guys: left radicals, progressives, fundamentalists, al quaeda - they won the elections fair and square.

[James Deuce]

:laugh:

... whoever the other dude was.



Joe Biden. One hell of a guy. He'd undoubtedly make a better President than the self-contradicting orator, Barack Obama, but the Democrats were shooting for either the first woman President, or the first black President.

It's a bit like John Key''s "I'm not Helen Clark" campaign.

[pete376403]

Congrats to all bad guys: left radicals, progressives, fundamentalists, al quaeda - they won the elections fair and square.

Eh?? Fundamentalists - Palins constituency. Al Queda - wanted McCain back in becuase they knew he would keep the war going and so increase theri recruitment. Now they're going to find it harder to whip up hate against a guy whos middle name is Hussein.

[Street Gerbil]

Eh?? Fundamentalists - Palins constituency.

Please, not New Zealand kind of fundamentalist - i.e. guy who does not do drugs, knows Bible by heart, and goes to church on Sundays. I mean the real deal, like the folks who blew up yanks on Bali. Oh, wait a moment, there were no yanks there - only kiwies and aussies. Good peaceful guys got hurt. How can that be???

Al Queda - wanted McCain back in becuase they knew he would keep the war going and so increase theri recruitment.
That's snopes kind of stuff. Nothing will embolden al quaeda more than living proof that they could win the war against the great Shai-thahn by attrition. All they have to do is to persevere until the next elections. That's scary.



Now they're going to find it harder to whip up hate against a guy whos middle name is Hussein.
Personally I am far more concerned with Obama's radical connections and marxist worldview. Couldn't care less what his middle name is.

I do hope that Obama bin Biden will fsck up so badly that the press (even as biased as in New Zealand) will have no choice but to throw former messia to the dogs. Hopefully whatever damage he will cause will be worth ensuring that radical left never ever gets back to power. Can't wait.
And last thing: personally I feel really bad for black folks. Some of them are quite worthy, some may even be presidential material, but I believe Obamination will pretty much guarantee that no one in the right mind will ever consider voting for another black person. Shame.
Now the deed is done, and there is nothing more to do about it. Let's sit back and enjoy the show. From what I heard, Titanic had a really cool concert hall. We might as well enjoy the music.:chase:

[The Lone Rider]

in a Country largely racist, is a miracle of hope for the future.

Funny you say that..

I've never seen or heard so much racism in my life, until I came to NZ (Christchurch in particular, haven't lived around other places enough).

I won't deny it's not in the USA. But hang around the same social class here and there.. fuck me it's pretty racist here!

A browse through some of the comments on here about asians and such shows a pretty good lack of understanding and a good bundle of racism.

Maybe you should check out Japan and it's immigration.

As for American being a racist country, estimated 90-95% of blacks were backing Obama. Now what would all the do gooders be saying if the shoe was on the other foot?! Fark, they're still saying it and the shoe hasn't left the first foot.

Sadly I have to agree with you...guess I was saying that the US was a big player in the slave trade and blacks are still pretty much considered lesser mortals...

I think with NZ it is a spacial thing as well...funny when they started saying how bad asian drivers were to shunt responsibility.

In essence there is a lot of racism, whinging and small poppy syndrome in NZ...of course they will say they got it from the Brits...inability to accept responsibility..hence ACC......

I love the Country but sometimes more than Kiwi's it seems at times

[Street Gerbil]

even if he does get assassinated, hes still changed the world as it stands and made history.
Whatever makes you think he will get assassinated?
The only thing more disastrous than an incompetent marxist president is a martyr. If bin Biden is allowed to dig his own political grave, next elections will be overwhelmingly republican. If he is martyred, that's pretty much carte blanche (sp?) for radical left as it happened in Israel 18 years ago when a failed politician turned into a martyr and a rallying banner of left loons just by the virtue of getting killed in a botched secret service anti-anti-government conspiracy op.

Anyone see the new South Park episode just released today.

In it, Obama wins.. only to find out Obama, his wife, McCain, Palin etc.. are world class diamond theives. And they use the white house to steal the hope diamond from the smithsonian.

I've seen the episode already. As usual, very funny!

I wonder if they made two episodes, or two versions with the same plot but reversal of the roles as this was released in USA the day after the election!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/About_Last_Night..._(South_Park)

[Okey Dokey]

I think many votes for Obama were also votes against Bush and the last 8 years. How could Americans choose another Republican to lead the country?

I would like to see Obama succeed in unifying disparate Americans- obviously right wingers and racists aren't likely to pull together- but blue collar workers and blacks have good reason to be on the same side.

I'd also like to see America become a better world citizen and earn some respect from other countries. I don't really like the UN or World Monetary Fund, but would like to see an end to unilateral actions. Working with other countries and compromising where it is necessary.

My wish list.

Good luck, President elect Obama.
