Is anyone else pissed that Obama won?

iiheartyo0o0ooo, we don’t want your racist idiocy in Australia, you’re better off hiding in a cave underwater.

iheartyo. Please do move to Australia. I’m sure you won’t be missed by anyone.

To all you ignorant people :

There are white people who voted for McCain because he was white, and that they would not vote for a black man for the simple fact that he is well, black.

So, which is worse? White people not voting because they are racist. Or black people voting for Obama because he would be making history.

IM GLAD OBAMA WON!!! you will see he will make us proud then youll regret ever saying bad things about a man who isnt afraid to stand just because hes a diffrnt color. I support obama!!

I’m disappointed because my family members are republicans but he won fairly :)

I 100% agree with mandyloo! Anytime you have to say that, you’re obviously saying. “I’m going to be saying something really ignorant about a different. But I’m not racist!”

Okay, than you’re a bigot.

Any time that you have to start a statement with “I’m not racist but…”

You are making a racist statement. PERIOD. He did NOT win because of his skin color, I think it’s sad that people are ignoring all the is FOR because they are too focused on his skin color.

Ditto to dzorro…He’s our president now…Time to kick back and see what happens…only time will tell…

I am upset that Obama won. I agree with what lanternoflight said about black people and Obama. They were being just plain selfish. Obama is not the right choice for president.

Are you conservatives actually surprised Obama won? What planet have you been living on. Many have been saying for at least the past month it would be a landslide. I was one of them…

He won, get over it.

fau: If only the future will tell us, why keep bringing it up as ‘evidence’ that he’s “palling around with terrorists”?

Everything in Ayer’s actions indicates he was a violent political activist. If you can’t use past actions to predict future ones, you’ve got no place using his association with Ayers as a black mark. If you can, then there’s no reason to suppose it’s of any real significance.

Laternoflight: “My boyfriend’s mother recieved a phone call from a group yesterday asking if she would go online to sign a petition to BAN all religions except Islam and another one to BAN the making of Bibles, crosses and other Christian related items. It is ridiculous. I am not going to stand idlely by and allow my country to turn into that.”

Sounds like an urban legend to me. Since she was asked to sign the petition online does she have the URL? I’d like to see this one.

This sounds pretty hard to believe. I don’t suppose you have the URL to the online peitition? A mere petition could not change the constitution and eliminate the 1st amendment. Sounds like right wing paranoia and fear mongering.

I’m just as pissed as you are about Obama winning but, I can’t hold a grudge forever. I don’t know what to think of him anymore. I heard that he still hasn’t given out whether he’s really an American Citizen or not. I hope he does what he says he’s going to do. I know, that I’ll disagree with allot of his policies. This country is going to become a Communist Country. I’m sorry to say that, but, our freedom is already destroyed. I don’t know what happened to America but, it’s out of touch with the troditional values and beliefs that our founding Fathers found this country on. I hope we can survive with Obama.

I’m VERY mad Obama won.

• He won’t even salute our flag/Say the pledge of alligance/wear a flag pin
• He’s going to tax the hell outta us (that one I can semi-understand where he’s coming from.)
• He’s stopping all small business (what makes America America)
• I ttly agree with what juliet said.
• He wants to stop the war with Iraq… Didn’t democrats want to go to war with Iraq after 9/11? Bush just took the safer way around it, and waited for a while.

And besides, doesn’t anyone remember what happened with the Vietnam War?

Obama RULES GET OVER IT HE IS IN ALLREADY BOOO YAAA

I think obama is the change we need. You never know they both would have probably been good presidents

…and the prize goes to contino21 for most racist, bigoted post of the thread.

I’m also disappointed to see some really obviously false stuff still being repeated:

-who attacked us on 9/11? well.. ONE OF OBAMA’S TERRORIST friends was one of them!!

William Ayers had nothing to do with 9/11 whatsoever. He was a political activist in the ‘60s who objected to the vietnam war and engaged in some violence. He’s now a peaceful community organiser.

• He won’t even salute our flag/Say the pledge of alligance/wear a flag pin

False. There’s one photo where he wasn’t saluting the flag. He’s repeatedly demonstrated he does all of those things.

• He’s going to tax the hell outta us (that one I can semi-understand where he’s coming from.)

No, he’s going to roll back the Bush tax-cuts for the wealthy.

• He’s stopping all small business (what makes America America)

What? That’s just nonsense.

• He wants to stop the war with Iraq… Didn’t democrats want to go to war with Iraq after 9/11? Bush just took the safer way around it, and waited for a while.

Bahahahaha! Bush… safer… waited…

GW Bush and his advisors are the ones who pushed for the war; who used evidence they knew was inaccurate to convince the US to go ahead with it.

“And besides, doesn’t anyone remember what happened with the Vietnam War?”

I do. It dragged on for years and years, with the US govt throwing away thousands upon thousands of US citizens’ and Vietnamese citizens’ lives, all because of a political battle they decided to take sides on and get involved in, and because of a reluctance to ‘lose’ a war. Are you trying to say that the US shouldn’t have pulled out of Vietnam?

I think white people are pissed.. It is fear.. White men have never been out of power and now they feel forced out.. Obama is a man of mixed race, and more of a elite white man than someone in tune with his black 50%.. McCain quite frankly ran a horrible campaign.. McCain was never able to connect on a pocketbook level with anyone on main street.. I know a few people that have voted Democrat, that wouldn’t vote for Obama for any reason because of race… I voted McCain for one reason I work for a defence contractor, so it was in my best interest.. Now that Obama is president we will see a change for the better.. I will say Obama ran a impeccable campaign, and he should be commended for it.. I will be proud to have a thinking mans president in office again… So just calm down take a deep breath and work hard and succeed.. The plain truth is now matter whom is president, smart hard working people will always succeed.. Lets talk truth no one will be paying more in taxes as a percentage than they did under Ronald Regan… As a white man I find it great and disappointing that this country is finally what we promised it would be… The disappointing thing is some of us are upset not that a Democrat won, but that a black man did…

Does anyone honestly think that Obama is a socialist after he’s been elected to senator and finally president? Thats more ignorant than George Bush’s foreign policy. Why would a democratic government chose a “socialist” to represent them? Obama can’t screw up the country by himself. And he won’t. He’s been thrown a bunch of left over challenges so those bitter people should just hold their comments for a year or two and then voice their opinion. Im so glad hes not integrating religion into politics. The salem witch trials and bloody crusades are a result of that. Oh, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yep, now everyone thinks all middle easterns and muslims are terrorist. Way to go America, you’ve really shown how big of asses you are for still supporting the republican party. Im an independant, but seriously people, educate yourselves. mandyloo, I totally agree with what you’ve been saying. At least there are some rational people. OBAMA 08, RESPECT IT.

I am so glad Obama won who wants mccain running your country with that awful sarah palin hopefully now my country will be able to work better with urs instead of trying to deal with an idiot although I do have to admit our pm is a bit of a nob

Obama is the right one for president and im pround that he won because now us black people can actually hold our heads up high without people saying we cant do this we cant do that. McCain made stupid mistakes. first he tried to win over all the female voters by picking palin, who apparently he that would be the same as having Hilary but not only did he pick her but in the end she turned on him and didnt listen to a thing he had to say. McCian is some rich man trying to become president to keep all Rich people rich and just forget about the middle class and lower class. Havnt you noticed that majority of America’s polulation is middle class and lower class not the rich people so wouldnt you want a president who actually cares about the people who have the most problems then the little rich people we have? Yeah Obama probably told a “couple” lies but he didnt focuse on attacking McCian he focused on what he was standing up for but McCian the whole time mostly attack Obama to try to make him look bad and didnt pay much attention to what he was going to do until towards the end. To me McCian his too old and apparently its getting to his brian. Welcome to a new day. Our first black president get with it or get out. All I got to say.

oh I AM pissed… because he DID tell us lies. and now that he’s our next president, I believe the supporters of obama are going to be like oh crap I cant believe I voted for him! he sux!

like he talks about distributing the wealth to people who dont have much money, when his brother is poor living in a hut in kenya and his aunt is also very poor. did he help them? NO. people who actually work hard for there pay… omg its not going to be pretty at all! because a good amount of their money that they worked hard for are going to go to lazy people who dont want to work!

people think its a race issue, that we dont want someone who supports Arabs to run the country. well hello! who attacked us on 9/11? well.. ONE OF OBAMA’S TERRORIST friends was one of them!! how can you vote for someone who’s friends with our enemy? he IS our enemy.. and now our enemy is about to run this country.. :o! oh snap.

I really dont know exactly what to expect.. but you obama supporters who want change.. well.. ha.. uh yea. change is to come… but not good change.

people should start thinking about what KIND of CHANGE Obama wants to bring to this country.

I am going to be completely honest, adn it is probably going to make a lot of people mad, but this is an opinion. I am not racist, let me throw that out there. I work with a lot of black people, and I have a lot of black friends, but I believe Obama won because the vast majority of black people put their pride first instead of actually listening to the issues. They were all sitting back when he was picked as the candidate and said “Oh, he’s a black man! I’ll vote for him. We need a black man in the White House, harhar.” I HONESTLY think that had McCain also been a black man, he would’ve won.

I dont care one way or another whether a black, white, man or woman is in the White House. I care about the issues and I do not believe Obama has Americas best interests at heart. I am worried about how he plans on “shaping” this country. He is a socialist and I do not believe that socialism is what we need in America. I am worried that we are going to become communist and that our natural rights are going to be taken away. It’s already starting. My boyfriend’s mother recieved a phone call from a group yesterday asking if she would go online to sign a petition to BAN all religions except Islam and another one to BAN the making of Bibles, crosses and other Christian related items. It is ridiculous. I am not going to stand idlely by and allow my country to turn into that.

That is why I am STILL a McCain supporter.

It’s sad that people are not even giving him a chance.

Get over it. He’s president, there’s nothing you can do about it, majority rules. End of story. If you dont like it, dont be a US citizan. Period.

I’m sick of people focusing on his skin color and using it as an excuse for his winning. He has really good ideas and is trying to change this conservative bible thumping country, into a FREE country like it is supposed to be.

For the people who are like “Oh well he promised this, it’s impossible to do that”. He promised to TRY and do some things that may seem impossible. ALL of the people running for president do, that’s how we get their points and ideas on issues. It’s ignorant to think that every president will be able to do everything he has said that he will try and do. Look at the past.

The racist are really coming out of the woordworks now. Good job folks, way to show your true ignorant colors. BIg Round Of Applause

That is the kind of divided bitterness fed to morons in this country… There are 14 million blacks registered to vote in this country… 95% of them voted for Obama that is true.. In past elections blacks voted democrat no matter who it was from 55 to 70%… If the black turnout was even 80% when it was nowhere close to that,, it would be 12,200,000 voters … So by the the numbers,, If blacks got a turnout of 80% and as the past tells us average of 65% of blacks vote Democrat even with a bad candidates mixed in… That would be Obama got 30% more of the vote that would only be 4 million votes under a 80% turnout… These numbers show everyone that IF HALF OF THE REGISTERED BLACK VOTERS didn’t vote.. Obama would have still won by over 3 million votes.. McCain got destroyed by almost 8 million votes… If you look at past elections this was as bad of a but kicking there has been since RR..

I am waaayyy more than pissed. I kid you not, my boyfriend and I are thinking about moving to South America in January because of this election.

Obama won the right to win. He didn’t pick himself to win. America did. If all those Americans voted for Obama, that shows he HAS to be better than McCain. McCain was mature about it; if you guys watched the elections last night and their speeches. So you guys should be mature about it too. Obama won, people choose him. If McCain SO GREAT as you guys think he is, then explain to me why he didn’t win. If he WAS that great, we wouldn’t be even having this conversation, and McCain would be named President. But as we all know Obama won which tells us McCain wasn’t the right one to be President. Amercia voted Obama, Obama didn’t vote for himself nor did McCain.

GO OBAMA!!<3

I am upset that he won mostly because of the fraud in his campaign…look it up…there are lawsuits against it as of right now… also he will not do many of the things stated, because most of it is not possible I know people wanted “change” but the change he will bring is not the right kind. I was 100% for having the first african american president, but it should not have been him. what a shame p.s “sharing the wealth” basically means taking money from hard working americans to give it to the lazy ones. what a great idea! sigh whats the world coming to

Lanternoflight - Obviously your light has gone out. You stated… “I believe Obama won because the vast majority of black people put their pride first instead of actually listening to the issues. They were all sitting back when he was picked as the candidate and said “Oh, he’s a black man! I’ll vote for him. We need a black man in the White House, harhar.”

You are racist.

“I HONESTLY think that had McCain also been a black man, he would’ve won.”

You are also an idiot.

I am personally GLAD that he won. Want to know why:

-He favors raising minimum wage. -He he supports eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession -He is willing to let each state decide if gay marriages should be allowed -He is bringing our troops home! -He agrees that we should teach teens about abstinence and also about contraception -He is Pro-Choice!!! -Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions -He will know how to seperate church from state - finally.

I couldn’t be prouder.

America choose inclusion, hope, and courage over division, self-righteousness, and fear.

I didn’t know that it would be possible for America to elect a black man to the highest office in the land in my lifetime even if he was as much better than his opponent as Obama was than McCain.

I’ll bet that the right-wing hate machine will do everything they can to mislead Americans with smears, half-truths, and bald faced lies but America is beginning to see through this veil. They tried to swiftboat Oboma but were unsuccessful.

I for one would love to see a man/woman president of color but Obama isn’t the man for the job. I’m not worried about him winning because you know someone out there is going to shoot him. I hate to say it but it’s true. I even told my son he was going to win but I also so know what is going to happen to hhim. Hopefully though this election has open peoples eyes,hearts and minds to look past color on the next election. This country needs other president like Abraham Lincoln, this man was a great man.

Most people want the kind of change Obama is talking about:

• recovery from the guns+butter Bushonomics that’s put our economy on the brink
• lower taxes for the working class (including working professionals)
• universal preventative and emergency health care
• the end of the war in Iraq
• an end to stacking the supreme court with radical right wingers

…that’s why he won.

I am upset about Obama winning! He has made many promises, but I want to know how he plans to keep all those promises. I have heard some people say that he’s like Robin Hood: He’ll take from the rich and give to the poor (or rather, take from the hard-working and give to the lazy!) It doesn’t make sense! I fear that our country is in for some trouble…

The only way to know if he is a good President is giving him a chance. And if is not a good Presient then the next election you will decide it. That’s democracy, right? The people decided. But I had seen and taled with some people on the net and some say that people won’t like Obama bevcause He’s not white. On some percent ..that could be true, too.

But let’s see what happens…and really they are a lot of people who are in need. Only Time will tell.

It would appear the American people ignored Dr King’s admonition to judge a person by the ‘Content of their character’ - so we’re in for ‘Change’, whether that will be positive or negative we shall see.

I AM SO FU*KING PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!

I think we all need to shut our cakeholes about this isuue..IT’S OVER PEOPLE!

THE ELECTION IS OVVVER!

we make it sound as if he elected himself,well wake up!

AMERICA CHOSE HIM,THE ELECTORIAL COLLEGE CHOSE HIM AND WE NEED TO SHUT UP ABOUT IT!

bi*hing about mccain’s loss is not going to change the outcome of this election one bit ya’ll.

am so tired of hearing people wah-wah-wah-ing on about this stuff…

GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE!

he hasen’t even stepped foot into the oval office yet and were already pointing daggers to his back;sheesh! some of ya’ll are heartless.

I agree with mandyloo..stop worrying about pot,it’s been around since the sixties;it aint going anywhere.pot rings are like hydras,you cut off one arm and two more grow back.if your going to waste my tax money on drug crime,crack down on drugs that actually are worth the tax dollars to hunt like meth,crack,herion,etc.those drugs are toxic to the user and the enviroment where they dump the wastes of cooking it!

guns should be controlled severely.mandyloo is right,too many kids are getting shot and killed cause of them.gun control should be enforced, and criminal background checks should be enforced here as well.I mean really,we check CBC’s before we ire someone,why not before we sell them a instrument of murder?

and seriosuly guys.I grew up in a God-fearing home [[I chose not to follow that path]] and they think seperation of church and state is alright.politics and government are about whats best for all of us,the nation as a whole,not whats best for the christians only.when one put’s their personal beliefs and fellings into a situation,they are no longer thinking about whats best for the whole nation;they are thinking about whats good for them and their religious faction.

I personally do not believe abortion is a good solution to terminating a pregnancy,but I feel like a woman should have the option up on the table and that it’s her choice to make.I mean really;for all we know that woman could’ve been raped,molested or could die if she chose to carry that child to full term.people automatically assume that if your having an abortion it’s because your some street-walker or something..tis sad.

and seriously guys,love is love.I have read the Bible before,I have studied many a religions and nowhere in that book have I seen it say that homosexuality was a sin.but honestly,who cares? who are we to say that anyone who chooses to love someone of the same gender is wrong? let people be happy and love.let them marry who they want to marry..I mean honestly we will let a WOMAN in the UNITED STSES MARRY A FREAKING DOLPHIN;A PORPOISE FOR CHRIST SAKE or a MAN marry a PET ROCK!!! But we won’t let lee and jared or mary and paula wed cause they have the same equipment..that’s sad!

okay,im going to shut up now before I write a book

Actually those are just the things I pointed out. There are tons of other things he was very deeply concerned about.

I posted the one’s that were importnant to me. Thank you ma’am.

Legalizing marijuana is not stupid. It would save tax payers billions of dollars. Why are we arresting people and putting them in jail for simply carrying a dime bag when there are millions of real criminals out there. It’s a waste of time and money and a losing battle.

Banning guns is NOT stupid. He is not saying banning all guns either, he’s talking about Gun control, which needs to be taken care of. Do you see how many little children are killed by guns everyday. Your kidding me right.

Taking God out of everything is FAIR! Seperation of church and state. This country is about FREEDOM, the freedom to have whatever religion you want. Why should we be forced to say the pledge under anothe God if that’s not what we believe in. Why should YOUR GOD be on money, when there are thousands of other God’s that people believe in. What’s so great about you that you get to have your GOD everywhere.

Puh-Lease.

i <3 Obama.
