New President USA

[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!

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)

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.

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.........


And Obama, if you ever get to read this, I have just come back from the pub and had a 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

Bush used to Use the PM Blair (UK Priminster before tosser Brown) as his glove puppet,

Have you seen George Michael's "Shoot the Dog" video???
Superb!

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!

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.

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

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).

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.

If you think you've seen the last of her...

One of my favourite internet people says that Palin sucked as Alaskan Gubnor, too. With any luck she'll get kicked out of that job as well and will have to go back to cooking eggs full time.

I liked the old ones. That Lump song was pretty cool.

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

I'm sure she'd be happy to add you to her list

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.
