President Obama

Well, just thought I'd start a thread now that there is a new president elect for the U.S.A.






President Obama.




Everyone celebrate or get used to saying it.

We already have two threads for this I believe.

It does sound good though.

Woot!

While similar, the focus of a topic on either the GOP or election period does not really represent, nor fully give weight to the now post election era.


I therefor thought it important to dedicate a thread to the concept and reality of the elected soon to be new commander and chief of the United States, removing him from the season and situation of competition to achieve this role.

I wonder if Obama and Rudd will start a relationship...

I threw up a little in my mouth at the sound of it...

Get used to it baby!

I predict little change in terms of foreign policy, in respect of Palestine Obama has already given the nod for Israel to continue with whatever it is people wish to call what they are doing, in terms of Aghanistan, we may actually see some money go into that mess but to no avail. The Western backed government is powerless and the U.S, I doubt, can make any difference now. Iraq I suppose will be left to erupt on its own and we can all watch the blood bath on CNN. Though I wish to state that responsibility for that will not really reside on the shoulders of Obama.

As to new wars, well Obama's rhetoric gives me little hope of Obama being any less of a Hawk than Bush, Pilger already stated what I believe in a nice little report on his website.

Soo, no real change.

Bopa, you're turning into one of those people who just can't be pleased when it comes to the U.S. This was a huge substantive rejection of most of the last 8 years... but yes, it's not a promise to completely dismantle the American Empire in its entirety. I am not sure anyone promising to do that for you would ever have a chance of getting elected.

Well I can be thankfull that the U.S did not bomb Iran, thank you. Thanks to Obama for pretty much ruling that out.

Now I know that you love your party Koga, thats fine, but don't expect me to be happy about another round of the Democrats...

When the U.S really does change and grows out of its two party system, I will buy you A GOD DAMNED BEER!

We promise to do the same when you stop having a fake monarchy. :)

Are you advocating an absolute monarchy Koga?

Ha! At last the true Democrat masterplan is out! Obama Ist The Great!

Quiet Panzer! Give me your dad's checking account routing number! Time to start that wealth redistribution!

You'll have to speak with the Aruban authorities about that. Daddy was hopeful McCain would pull an upset, but he was also prudent.

Psh, this election was already about Obama II vs. McCain III.

Congrats Obama

Obama was my vote, congratulations for his win.

Congrats to America.

Don't think it will change much though, which will only lead to chronic dissapointment among those preaching obama-mania on both sides of the atlantic.

The only real change in foreign policy will be Iraq, in limited manner. In all other issues it'll be business as usual. There will probably be more extensive changes in domestic policy, but that doesn't concern me much.

On the other hand, McCain looked like the guy who would raise Bush's blunders to a new level so I'm glad Obama won.

In other news, Iran has lowered America's Satan status from 'Great Satan' to 'lesser Satan'.

Wouldn't that make us "Great Damien"?

Yes, yes, all fine and dandy but can he say nucular?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I predict business as usual. Same War on Terror, same War on Drugs, same nonsense.

agreed. ardent obama supporters are in for a letdown, IMO.....

I can't see that this thread is adding much to the existing two, and since many members will be heartily sick of the US election by now, I think we can invoke the Non-proliferation Treaty.
