arguing politics with JazX seems to equal beating your head against concrete.
pointless, and at the end of the day you'll have a splitting headache.

Obama has the advantage of understanding many different points of view. He's half black but was raised by his white grandparents, Harvard law but spent time in the 3rd world growing up, Christian but his dad was Muslim. I see that experience as a plus.

your friend is an idiot; if because there is a lot of corruption in kenya he slights obama because he is half-kenyan.
- Contrary, he's a ZA Zulu with a PhD currently working in Dubai. he's making fun of Obama for being part KenyanJazX
- You've obviously know little about the hatred between African countries that persists to this day. No likey like.JazX
- and somehow that makes this guy intelligent, I see.DrBombay
- He spent time in East Africa, it's corrupt as sh*t, so he made light of Obama being a halfbreed and in politics.JazX
- and you think that is intelligent. I'm just making an observation here.DrBombay
- that all depends on your slantJazX
- you think it is cool to judge someone on their heritage. That's a great slant.DrBombay
- that's his commentary on the situation. it's laughable to a ZuluJazX

'having grown up with a lot of blacks'
you are a fucking tool jazx.
- "I am one of JazX friends from Africa. I am a black"
mikotondria3 - I guess you could ask flavorful, he's about the only to know my old stomping groundsJazX
- I've known tons of bigots that grew up in the ghetto. It doesn't give you a license to be a redneck.DrBombay
- I didn't say that, I said I grew up with them, understanding the mentality that exists is keyJazX
- //yeah, all black people are exactly the same.DrBombay
- your average U.S. AA doesn't act very much like Obama, that I can see. No one I knowJazX
- I know tons of intelligent professional black people, so to me, you are an average bigot.DrBombay
- hey, you're out line, Obama the sheperd is looking for you. Go back to the flock.JazX
- "I am one of JazX friends from Africa. I am a black"

You guys bring up a good point, he has little in common with most blacks because his family doesn't have that same slave historical past. I don't say that negatively, but having grown up with a lot of blacks, it's MUCH different. Much more in common with an educated African is you were to ask me. Having lived in Namibia and Sud Afrika for an extended period of time. In fact, a Zulu friend E-mailed me after the electoin making light of Obama. Kenya is notoriously known for corruption. Go do a search on 'Focus on Africa' of the BBC. Kept me alive for two years on shortwave.

2 years from now, you'll all say, "wow this guy actually sucks, even though he looks like he fits into that slacker, liberal role, I'll take another dose of Bush, because my taxes are through the roof"
- I love how you think you have this incredible insight that no one else has, it's cute when you are incorrect all the time.DrBombay

"Television news bulletins across the world have been reporting the story of Barack Obama's US presidential victory.
People in the Japanese city of Obama reacted with joy to his election, as did Indonesian children at the school he attended and Barack Obama's grandmother in Kenya was clearly delighted.
Many were not short of words of advice for the new US President - from Afghanistan and Israel to Gaza and Iran. "

Lloyd you will never have to worry about falling above the $250K income line that Obama wants to put in place.
Why? Because you don't have a job or seem to be pursuing one by the amount BS you post on here.

Obama may not be a true African American but his wife is I forgot about that.
- mg330
Oh man, I completely forgot that I heard someone jokingly say last night "What a day for Half-rican Americans!" on account of Obama being the son of a white mother and Kenyan father.

I hope that Obama uses the grassroots, web-based networking he has built through his campaign to help him govern. If so, that could be a major break with previous governments.
- I really wish these campaigns would move more to the web and cost a lot less to run. A lot of the candidates did really welltommyo
- with the use of web. They produced commercials literally on the fly. Was pretty interesting.tommyo
- you mean, like taking a web survey to see where people stand on what he should do? truly by the people... :)mg33
- spent less!?! yeah like the 30 minute infomercial, get the f*ck out of hereJazX

was there an election or something? must have missed it.
- yeah some skinny cunt with a nice logo got in or somethingkelpie
- actually, it was pretty mental being in the states as it happened. the girlfriend cried when he made his speach.skt
- I was chatting to a pal of mine who moved over about 10 years ago the other day, he was blown away by the whole thingkelpie
- it was like watching a football final in the bar, with all the cheering and singing.skt
- and there was a boy in a hoops top sitting at the bar too.skt
- there's always at least one of them, no matter where you are in the worldkelpie
- this is true, it's when you see a dons top that you really freak out.skt

this notion that governments cannot make policy to improve an economic system is only a very sad piece of evidence that a lot of the rubbish spouted by Bush and his crew has sunk in and become gospel when really its just ideology. Good stewardship will see the situation improve, after all its a lack of government in these things that's allowed it to go to hell.
- Matter of ideology here but imo, It's actually too much government that's allowed it to go to hell.tommyo
- haha tomato/tomato :)
regulation doesn't mean communism is all I'm sayingkelpie - No you're right it doesnt. But there is good regulation and bad regulation you know? We've just got WAY too muchtommyo
- bureaucracy involved in many of our gov programs. Tons of waste that we all pay for daily.tommyo

Here's the thing:
If a president can assist in putting us in the proverbial shitter in less than 8 years, then it's within Obama's ability to use the next 4, and God willing, 8 years to reverse this. Even greater though, is the ability to do so in a way that will change things for decades to come.
It will not happen overnight. We didn't fall this far overnight. But the hope and inspiration and togetherness that President Obama will bring is something for the common man, something that we can all rally behind and join in. I will be smiling because of that for a long time.
It's interesting to think... here's a president who's not financially wealthy, who has one house, who doesn't have a vacation house, who feels as close to many of us as we may ever have someone feel. We're getting a president who absolutely understands and relates to the common man and isn't motivated by wealth and personal achievement. A selfless person. Clinton, while a great president, can't even lay claim to that.
The world is rejoicing because we have elected a remarkable and real person to be our president. What a day this is.
- Sorry mg33, I think you're giving the Bush too much credit here. This mess started 16 years ago. And it will need to betommyo
- fixed in Congress, not the presidency. Here's to crossing some fingers and hoping these politicians figure it out.tommyo
- yeh, fuck clinton waggling his cock about and being a smarmy bastard, I can't stand him, or his wife. Fuck them.mikotondria3
