America has a Black President!

#

Started by Dennis (Dudley Less)

I am amazed!
It seems that the times really are changing for the better.
I know he was ahead in the polls, but we all know from experience in the UK how wrong the polls sometimes get it, and I never really believed the Americans would vote in a black president.
Of course, he still has to prove himself as a GOOD president - that is all that matters really, not his racial background - but still, is anyone else as surprised as I am?

It’s quite ironic… A black president in the US, I really hope he gets the chance to prove himself!

I’m just chuffed the Democrats are in power. There were actually a lot of people voting for him because he was black, just listen to this thing on Howard Stern.

Also, Avaaz are sending lots of messages to Obama saying ‘don’t screw this up’, if anyone would like to add to it.

I’m just pleased they have finally elected a man that appears to be able to write his own name in joined-up writing all by his very self. It’s about f*cking time!

Has to be said, I wasn’t surprised that Obama got in, but in saying that, the media had a lot to do with it.

Well if he has attracted the female vote, maybe we’ll see him repay the favour with some drastic reductions in the price of handbags and shoes coming from American fashion houses as the result of major tax changes..

..here’s hoping, anyway…

She’s kind of attractive in a business-suited-women-always-are kind of a way, I guess, but then when she talks she blows all that careful power-dressing out of the window.

Let’s just say she wouldn’t be top of my wish list. ;)

Mind, maybe Obama doesn’t own a saxophone…? *shrugs*

A few people have said they think he will suffer assasination attempts, from far right nutjobs.

Is that paranoid speculation, or do we really think that a black president needs to fear for his life?

Avoid merging between US view and European view or else rest of the world’s one… Will we be free ourselves from US influences for we all know that they are not better, gorgeouser, clever and stronger. Well done Barack, move well your US troops from Iraq to Afghanistan as you promised it during your campaign long. Do some good lethal injections as you told whilst you were in campaign. But first of all, GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK !

I was thinking the same thing as souldoubt (first post in the thread), there must be something about us belgians :-)

But yes, i do think he has to fear for his life. It only takes one bullet, and a lot of americans own a gun, and I fear a lot of them are willing volunteers to pull that trigger (sadly enough) just because of his colour of skin. If you hear the things that were being said at some rallies in “redneck” country, i just cringed (if that is a word)

i’m glad he got in as it’s proving america’s changing for the better..

kind of annoyed me abit that it turned into a race debate though… black and white shouldn’t ever ocme into something like this…should be whether they pick the right man (or someday soon woman) for the job..which i think they have done this time..

i personally think obama was picked on merit and that McCain gave up the race early on..knowing he wouldn’t win…

so in 4 years time..do you think we’re gonna see a woman president? or is obama gonna hold on for the 8 year stretch?

and i sincerely hope that he manages to last the full 8 years,..i’ve already heard they’re gonna surround the stand he’s gonna be on at his inaugeration with 3inch thick bullet proof glass..
:0( assasination rumors and he’s only been elected for about 7 hours…shocking behaviour… i hope it doesn’t turn into a kennedy situation..

if he is assinated it wont be because of the colour of his skin, the person who shoots the gun may be doing it out of race issues but the reason theyve been put up to it will be different.

he has the potential to be a great president if he sticks to what he’s said he’ll do…

can’t see people having a problem if he’s true to his word.

As a Yank, but not overtly political, I must say I am pleased with the choice. The Crypt Keeper and The Avon Lady would’ve been a disaster. I’ve heard the assassination rumors as well, and I hope they are overblown, conspiracy fodder. Either way, the methods of protecting the Prez (elect) have improved immensely since Hinckley shot Reagan. So, let’s see where this takes us.
