can't bother quoting everyone but i saw a few things in this thread i wanted to comment on.
- obama isn't going to be the worst president like the brainwashed mccaine supporters said. he also won't be the greatest president like the brainwashed obama supporters said. the world isn't going to end because we elected the "antichrist" and we aren't all saved because we elected our "savior" (btw if you believe either one of these, i highly recommend being evaluated by a shrink). he will probably just be a decent president.
- bush wasn't a terrible president. the media makes him look much worse than he was. the same thing will probably happen to obama and every other future president. however, i believe that once some years have passed, bush will be looked at as a better president than he is looked at now and that will probably be true about future presidents as well.
- people who say sarah palin is stupid have a point because she sure sounded stupid during the campaign. people who say she isn't stupid also could be right because she just may have been a poor public speaker. either way, i doubt anyone's mind is going to change about this whether they believe shes stupid or not.
- black people have a right to be proud of having a black president. however, i wanted to comment about something else here. if mccaine won and people said they were proud to have another white president, they would obviously be viewed as racists. its still sad that race matters in america. blacks wanted and still want to be equal but i hate how there are some things like scholarships that are just for blacks. the idea of the civil rights movement was for everyone to be equal. not to preserve racism but in the opposite order. kind of off topic here but its true.
- obama surely got some votes just because he is black and mccaine surely got some votes just because he is white. but for people to say obama only won because he is black is just stupid. even if he was white he probably would have won. the reason for this is that bush is a republican and he was unfairly blamed for all of our problems so no matter who the democratic candidate was, s/he would have had to do something extremely stupid not to win this election.
btw, i'm a white male, i would have liked clinton and romney to be their party's candidates(that didn't work out) and i supported obama over mccaine. don't really have much else to say.
