How He Did It

My question is why people who hate America in foreign countries are so happy about Obama being president? The youth of this country should read a little about Jimmy Carter. Carter became president as a result of Watergate. As now, the media propelled Carter to the top by labeling incompetency as a "learning experience", "change", "inclusion" you name it. Results: one of the worst president in the US's history. History repeat itself.

Okay. Seriously. Too many "socialism" comments have been thown around and have to explain this: Socialism has never, ever happened. Ever. Socialisim the idealized end product of Communism, but no Communist state has ever come close to acheiving it. Socialism is not something that accidently sweeps in under cover of night and replaces a Republic (yeah, that too- we are NOT a Democracy, but a Republic), no matter what pundits are ranting. You can't get to Socialism without down the path of Communism, and even then, it is seemingly unnatainable. Socialism isn't at the end of any slippery tax-based slope. If it were that easy, have no doubt that China and Cuba would have grabbed their sleds and been there by now.
One more point. Socialism, the theory of socialism, is not some inherintly evil thing. I know that offends our captalistic sensibilities, but in theory, a Socialist society is quasi-utopian, because theoretically the people are happy and fufilled through altrusim and not materialism. To be honest, I think it is a peaceful and appealling scenaio (until human nature enters the equation), BUT it is a theoretical one and does not take into account people's greed, lust for power, and competivive nature. This has been its fatal flaw. It looks great on paper, but it doesn't translate well into real life.

There. (whew)

Vypurr- that song...I like.

Ilove the fact that we wil have a fresh face in office. Don't get me wrong I have alot of respect for John MCcain, but
i don't believe we need four more years of George Bush thinking. That is what MCain would have brought us because he(john) said that he had voted the Presidents way 90% of the time. That was one reason I voted for Obama.

I have been a VERY TOUGH critic of Barack Obama and although I feelings about him have not changed, I MUST take this opportunity to congratulate him and his supporterts on his HISTORIC WIN! Senator Obama ran an EXCELLENT campaign. I must give him his due props!

I use to blog regularly but I have been sporadic in blogging in the recent weeks in part because I saw clear as day what was coming. And there was no need to continue to knock the man who was going to be elected as President. The truth of the matter is that the McCain camp ran an inept campaign! And it makes no sense. His campaign should have been ready and armed to go after Obama HARD! Instead, He seemed to have made the same mistakes that HIllary made. McCain had won his party's nomination about 3-4 months before Obama won his so that gave McCain SIGNIFICANT time to prepare to annihilate his opponent but for whatever reasons he chose not to. What sense did it make to try to bring up questionable things about Obama a week before the election?

Bottom line, Obama brought his "A" game and McCain brought his "C" game. The "A" gamer won and I CAN NOT hate on that at all!

So soon to be President Obama, CONGRATULATIONS and big ups on your "A" game!I will be praying for the continued safety of you and your family!

I am a 49 year old male. It amazes me how all the economic blame has been placed on Bush, when in fact the democrats created NAFTA which has done nothing for our country, they also pushed for the community reform act which allowed for mortgages to be given to anyone who could breath, creating a shortage of homes then drove the prices of existing homes sky high, and now the bottom is falling out and it's the Republicans fault. Last night when Obama was doing his speech in Chicago he says it won't happen in a year and maybe not even in his first term, so what is he saying that he lied about all his promises. Already today Russia is testing him. I am very very scared for our country and the future of our children. The people I know who voted for him are lookin for the free hand outs, like health care and free rides for their children to go to college. What ever happened to the if you work hard good things will come of it. That was the principle that are country was built on no on free hand outs.

texx4u2 so blacks can not vote for Obama because he is black but it is ok to vote for Mc Cain because he is white. Or maybe the people of the United States of America just sick of the BS in Washington.
