If I remember correctly, I heard the college student vote was 68% for Obama.

Welcome to the USSA.

They must have seen your video.

Comrade Barack will be redistributing your wealth as I type this. ;)

What's needed is some kind of rapprochement I think. The polarisation of the last decade or so has done such harm and caused such unhappiness and cultural unease, it is time for that to change. I hope that this can be done.

Of course, the radical in me wuold love to see a bold program righting the wrongs (as I perceive them) and fixing the problems fast. But...Obama needs to walk a careful line. This vote is a mandate for change. Therefore he owes it to his electorate to deliver change. But, he also has to bring about healing, and that won't happen if he alienates those who are uneasy with radical reform.

Quite the celebration going on Kenya too. I think we suddenly have a 51st state.

Hey there, wrinkled white haired war obsessed dude! Chill out! [/paris hilton]

I see you're upset. You shouldn't be worried though. Despite your belief that their chances of doing it better are very small, consider this uplifting thought. It is impossible that they could win the war worse.

It will be interesting to see how this affects our international relations.

From my blog yesterday:

I think that Sen. Obama is a smart man who will surround himself with smart people. I think that he will also work with Republicans while pushing a more liberal agenda--not a socialist one, not even a liberal one per se. I do worry that he might be setting the bar too high, though I've also seen him try to temper expectations.

While we're at it, what, precisely is "Republican" about the way the war's being won now?

I think it'll make your relations with Australians pretty good.

According to Obama, that would be #58.

You do realize that the thread title sounds an awful lot like "abomination?"

:rolleyes: Yes, that's the joke.
