@bardicverse: it's a joke.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I support Obama and what he stands for, however, the real people in charge are behind the scenes. Watch Zeitgeist: Addendum when you're not gaming or blogging. Peace to all.

You miss the point - while this was a joke, its actually quite the example of what WAY too many people focused on in this election - race. I'd prefer the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., where  a man could be judged by the integrity of his character, not the color of his skin. While Pres. Obama is a bright man, too many people wouldn't even scratch the surface to get to that level, and could see no deeper than his flesh. Both sides are guilty of this.

As an African American, I have never been so proud in my whole entire life. This is an historical moment in world's history.
This gives me the courage to be anything I want. John McCain gave a hell of a fight. I think it is time for us to come together as an country
and united as one. The Time for change begins now.

GObama!

The first black president ever! woot. I didn't vote, because I live in DE. Where voter turnout was 16k out of our population of 860k. That's 2 percent. We all know DE doesn't matter. >_>

And I wouldn't have voted for Obama, because I seriously do believe he is the anti-christ. But I'm glad he won. Good day for unity, and for the progression of the country.

What the hell are you talking about?  If you're in the minority race you'd root for your race to win too.  There's pride involved there.  It's plain and simple, really.  You can't take that away from the collective subconscious, no matter how `logical' you construct your arguments to be.   The fact of the matter is while character and integrity and all those fine concepts would be nice to idealize what should compose winning characteristics, people are mostly dominated by preprogrammed instincts and culturally ingrained programming.  What is ideal only exists in mathematical equations.

My condolenses go out to McCain. George Bush, the economy, and bad advisors proved to be a perfect shitstorm that cost McCain the election.

If McCain would have ran this the same way the old McCain would have, then he would not have that bimbo Palin as a VP candidate that dragged the ticket down and run from the center, but would of had someone like Joe Lieberman or Olympia Snowe on the ticket and, thus, would have been a very strong ticket regardless of how George Bush or other things out of his control went.

 

 

Olympia Snowe rocks dude.

I liked McCains speech.

I feel really relieved that Obama won.

If there's truth in your words, then the only thing I can hope for is total destruction of the world, for every single person deserves to die. When you cannot use logic to overcome pride, then there shall forever be hatred inside of you. If everyone is made of this same construct, then death to every human being is mandatory, as we've all been corrupted with hate.
