ok this is all the talk all over the place, who the **** voted for the guy if everyone is so upset about it?
People who were voting for a "change". Because apparently the same old bullshit wrapped in different coloured skin is "change".
Also, the amount of "He's black, so let's just get it over with and elect him" talk was astonishing to me. Clearly the winning votes weren't cast by black people who wanted a black president (hell most African Americans vote democrat anyways), but stupid liberal white Americans who thought they were so progressive and forward thinking for voting in the man merely as an act of patronizing an entire ethnicity. Pompous idiots.

Haha, only because I've grown up having that crap rammed down my throat every year in elementary, middle, secondary and post-secondary school. I also grew up being told that we're better than Americans in pretty much every way too (by teachers no less!). Glad I ignored that commie bullshit or I wouldn't be able to have a good time on here!

would he really have been elected if he was white?
McCain has served this country longer then Obama was alive, nice slap in the face america- lets vote for the black guy to show we grew up?
he comes in with no cabinet members, no advisors- so far anyone he has asked does not even know if they want the position or not- what was everyone thinking?
