I know, I should have... but I feel somewhat conflicted about it, being an anarchist..

The best man for the job has succeeded and now I hope we see some change, not only in the USA but in the World where USA has influence, namely Iraq and Afganistan.

A very good estimation for the Media as 20 Oct 2008.

As we estimated at the beginning,  Obama Elected President.

Obama (D)  : 52 %  ,  McCain (R)  : 46%.

An American Revolution.

Obama won because of social and political reasons as follows:

1-Iraq

2-Afganistan

3-Terrorism 

4-Social Security

5-Health

6-Education

7-Racialism

8-Financial / Economic crisis

9-Neoliberalism policies

10-A new John Maynard Keynes´s economic theory approach

11-Retirement policies

12-Controlled economy

13-Globalisation

  14-Community culture

  15-World Public Union

  Media and Public Union influenced the outcome….

  Obama to be the first African-American President in U.S.history.

  Obama elected 44Th US President.

  Change has come to America? 

  But as president, Barack Hussein Obama will face a struggling economy and two wars.

  Some Americans says he is inexperienced….

  Leaders should have some knowledge of real world history, religions and geograhy.

  It is time.This is their time.

  We’ll see, what happens?

 Oh yes, 2 out of...hmmmmm what was it teas......8 years??  {#lang_emotions_wink}

Voter fraud is has not been proven so it really shouldn´t used as an excuse for a loss.  This election was not stolen....it was a mandate!!  Current counts put Obama up by over 4.5 million votes.  Take it for what it is. 

Your candidate was incredibly gracious in his defeat....I only hope that his supporters will be as well.  I guess time will only tell.  {#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

 

 I didn´t say the election was stolen, however it has been proven that voter fraud did take place in Ohio.  When you have a government who pays speciality interest groups like Acorn to solicit the gettos of our cities in a biased manner this was a contributing factor here.  As far as being gracious...I wish him all the luck in the world.........he´s going to need it.{#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

 Who cares if they did vote, why shouldn´t they? If they were convicted felons or people with warrants hanging over them they wouldn´t be allowed either. Don´t pretend they have conjured up all the common criminals and that is why he was so far ahead. I´m sure the "ghetto" population is not the majority vote.

 

Ahhh who cares anyway, he won, he won, he won!!!! {#lang_emotions_razz}

i woke at 8 am and the first thing i did was turning on tv and when i saw " Obama is president"  on the screen i felt so f.cking happy as if he is my brother i am quite sure it will be so good for all over the world. Before George W. Bush, only  around 20 % of turks were used to hate US..but now it is around 80 %. someone has to change this. we ( turkish ) have missed good USA so much. congratulations {#lang_emotions_flowers}

Your numbers are perfect since about 80% of Americans hate Bush!!  He has the lowest approval rating since they started keeping statistics on approval ratings.
