Yes like us in the UK, your "democracy" has evolved into a binary power sharing hegemony. The only way to alter it is to vote for someone other than democrat or republican, but people have this strange idea that voting for the winner is a victory for them, and so only vote for party's that they think can win, and so we all loose...

Obama won because Bush held the office before him and allot of people just wont vote for people who start wars.
Wars are for Kings and Dictators to start, democratic leaders rarely survive instigating acts of such evil.

I'm not going to argue with that.

Lets nor forget Bush was a white guy from Texas. Being a White Male, is HORRIBLE now. Being one from the south? BRING IN THE ANTI-WHITE ACTIVISTS...

[Clavin12]

Hey, I'm from the south...I think affirmative action is stupid. if your looking for sum1 to work for you take the best suited one not the most politically correct one.

What the heck is wrong with you?

Are you saying that you would not gladly step aside and let someone who isn't fully qualified take a job for which you are fully qualified - just because they are from a minority group so they deserve it more than you do???

Man, some people...

What the heck is this country coming to... (besides a hasty end)

For example, he says the shift to the government health care for companies is optional, but then he taxes the HELL out of them if they do not do it and offers all these 'breaks' if they do, and in the end all we end up with is people who can't get the medical procedures they need.

Well, that kind of bullying is how the federal government gets a lot of wide-spread policy enacted. Look at when "the states" changed the drinking age to 21, or when the speed limits were lowered nationwide. The federal government said "hey, if you want our money, you have to do x, y and z." Another prime example is federal funds for public schools.

I take it your you're being sarcastic?

Obama won because he is a smooth talker. He got a nickname 'Obama the Preacher' tagged on him becuase he is a charasmatic guy. This has worked for countless people. For example, Hitler would never have gotten so much power if he wasnt such a great public speaker. He got people worked up in a frenzy over the simplest things that have no real solution. Obama does the same today. He talks about mundane things with the stupidest solutions but the people don't care, they just get worked up in a frenzy and think Obama will save them all. What they don't do is listen to facts and reason. Obama also won because people didn't like bush. what were the main reasons of that anyway? someone said because they dont like people who start wars. If i remember correctly someone flew a few hijacked planes into our buildings and we rightfully hunted down the people who were responsible and helped. After 9/11, bush had super high approval ratings. virtually every person in the house and senate was willing to go to war to defend themselves. it wasnt until the war took a long time and the media found a new poster boy: Bush, to blame everything on. Now with almost every news company under the payroll of the Democratic party save FOX, who reports on the good and bad things about Obama and they are being punished for it, everyone is getting the impression that Obama is the best guy to have. Thats why our government is going down the drain, corruption and buying out people who have influence in the lives of others who dont bother to look at the facts themselves.

You obviously haven't been around long enough to know that Fox is disturbingly conservative.

[King Gladiator]

I know fox is conservative but the point i was trying to make is that becuase CNN MSNBC and all the other ones wern't reporting on anything negative Obama has done and the FOX has reported negativly on Obama Fox has been punished like not being alowed into certian conferences and stuff like that. Basically i was just trying to point out that people love obama so much partly because most people listen to the news stations as if they were fact and most of them are under control of the liberals.

Have you?

I have done straight numeric tallies that still put FOX to the left beyond the point of the middle ground. I have yet to find ANY TV news that I can rate as right wing. Granted when the Radio Hosts have shows on TV it skews that way, but it never balances out with the very basis of the media itself.

And charisma works for both good guys and bad guys. The point is Obama got an even cleaner pass than Democrats normally do in the media.
