ghostman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Huzzah. No more years of beating around the Bush. And we avoided McCain. Although I think McCain's character is quite decent, the election really ate up his polite and humble demeanor. Post-election should be better. Obama ftw. Currently P2P. I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand. Formerly known as: Ghstkill8, Serene Ghst, Genius Goats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"In 1937, the day of inauguration was changed by the Twentieth Amendment from March 4 to noon on January 20, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt's second term in 1937." FDR was the only President of the US to ever run for more than 2 terms. It was considered tradition as Washington only served 2, and now it is consitutional law that 2 is the maximum. For President, anyway. Senate and House can run indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshinjapan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 As for between now and January for Bush, he's still president, but it would be foolish to try anything this major at the end of his presidency.

Fist_of_ozzy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hell yes, Barrack Obama. Hear that McCain..BLOW MY NUTS! To all of you fellow weed smokers, Obama is all for the decriminalization of marijuana. You sir, are most likely favoring Obama for all the wrong reasons. I Love it when the mods delete my posts. Anyways, that's the the ONLY reason why I would elect him. I'll tell you one thing kind sir, I am not a republican. For one, I don't believe in most republicans giving tax breaks to large companies that more than likely do not need them. They also give tax breaks the extremely wealthy and leave middle class hell to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumpta Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I just don't see why the world feels that they need/have a say in American politics. Because America feels that they need/have a say in every country of the world's politics. The person you choose as your president, will have quite a bit to say about things that concern me too, even though I'm seperated by an ocean from your country.

dsavi Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 By the way, what are the reasons of having the electoral college system instead of a One-person-one-vote system? I'd suppose it'd have some deep historical background. Back when they were deciding how they were going to elect our president they couldn't agree on the an electoral college of sorts to choose or the people to choose. So they compromised and let us vote, then left the rest up to the electoral college. I'm pretty sure if everybody knew how the electoral college works they would be all for getting rid of it. But I think it might be written into the Constitution :-k What does that matter? Change the stupid constitution. I don't get why people think that the constitution is some sort of untouchable thing that rules over all. And the electoral college is not democratic, there are ways of winning with less votes. I hate that system, it's full of faults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomyth105 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i frankly dont understand why people are voting for Obama. McCain seems like he has good and realistic policies on how to fix the economy. end the corruption on wall street. he knows about the iraq war and how to stop Al Qaeda. and he wants to drill in Alaska to remove USA's dependency on foreign oil. Obama wants to set up a socialist sort of government or communism kind by making households making over 200k+ have to give a huge chunk of that money to the poorer classes. which i think is dumb. i mean that is the main purpose as to why my family moved to the US from Soviet Union. Its unfair to take hard earned money from upperclass and give to the poor. Ever democrat wants to do this but Obama is just all over it. Next thing is that Obama has no clue about the war and just wants to withdraw. That is dumb and all that hardwork in Iraq is lost and the terrorists can grow stronger again. Next is his energy issues which i think is alright. But clearly it looks like McCain is the better choice. He has more experience and what not. His main flaws are Sarah Palin and his health. Personally i think he could have won this thing if he would come out much stronger in debates. When criticizing Obama for his dumb ideas it gives ppl the impression that he is a jerk. He really needed to be stronger in the debates by saying why he was a positive rather than stating why Obama is a negative. He also picked Palin which is very controversial. Im not saying shes bad but its just that some topics she really doesnt know about it and shes a woman and i guess because shes attractive they made shows on her. The point is that its risky. im sure if he picked a normal white male politician it would get some more voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue until you've elaborated on exactly why that's bad, given US unemployment rates are now at a 14 year high, and October was the tenth month in a row in which jobs were lost from the US economy.

NoMoreDead Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i frankly dont understand why people are voting for Obama. McCain seems like he has good and realistic policies on how to fix the economy. end the corruption on wall street. How was he going to end the corruption on Wall Street again? Was he going to do what he advocated for years upon years, which was lower the regulation? he knows about the iraq war and how to stop Al Qaeda. I'm so sick and tired of hearing this. If John McCain knows EXACTLY what to do then he is being the most unpatriotic and detrimental person he can be by NOT telling the US government how to get the job done. He doesn't know what to do. Nobody really knows. and he wants to drill in Alaska to remove USA's dependency on foreign oil. The United States wouldn't see a drop of that oil for 10 years. Nice try. Obama wants to set up a socialist sort of government or communism kind by making households making over 200k+ have to give a huge chunk of that money to the poorer classes. which i think is dumb. i mean that is the main purpose as to why my family moved to the US from Soviet Union. Its unfair to take hard earned money from upperclass and give to the poor. Ever democrat wants to do this but Obama is just all over it. WRONG. WRONG. FAILURE. Obama is not a Socialist. Obama is not a Socialist. Obama is not a Socialist. And your little 200k+ give a huge chunk of money to the lower class thing is also completley wrong. Look up Obama's tax plan, because your parents will be obiding by it. [hide=Also...][/hide] Next thing is that Obama has no clue about the war and just wants to withdraw. That is dumb and all that hardwork in Iraq is lost and the terrorists can grow stronger again. Next is his energy issues which i think is alright. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Go read Obama's plan (I don't really know why I keep telling you to do this, because your ignorant self won't) and come back. But clearly it looks like McCain is the better choice. He has more experience and what not. His main flaws are Sarah Palin and his health. And his enegry policies... And his economic policies... And his foreign policies... Personally i think he could have won this thing if he would come out much stronger in debates. When criticizing Obama for his dumb ideas it gives ppl the impression that he is a jerk. He really needed to be stronger in the debates by saying why he was a positive rather than stating why Obama is a negative. He also picked Palin which is very controversial. Im not saying shes bad but its just that some topics she really doesnt know about it and shes a woman and i guess because shes attractive they made shows on her. The point is that its risky. im sure if he picked a normal white male politician it would get some more voters. Yet he still would have got slaughtered because people don't vote for Vice President, they vote for President AND VP (but mostly the President). Palin is so stupid that it cannot even be described by words. As a closing note, I'd like to remind you that this is supposed to be an educated community discussing real issues, not children discussing their parents ideas.

If only Obama was inaugurated a day earlier, having the first black president put into office on MLK Day? That would be incredible. I don't know why people still think Obama is socialist.
