Has anyone noticed the unintentional symbolism between these 2 guys? mccain is a rusty old white dude leaning to the right wing(conservatism), and obama is the younger half-black guy leaning more towards the left wing(liberalism).

I was sleeping at 1 am when he won, and my friend got me up to tell me. It was awsome. I heard some crazy shit about celebration parties the next day.

While most people are rejoicing that Obama will become the next president I can't help but feel a little strange about the citation. What concerns me is how fanatical people are about this man. Sure, it is one thing to wave a banner with your candidates name on for all to see, it is another to drive around the city with a cardboard cutout sitting in your passenger seat. It is fine to wear a button or a t-shirt to show your support, it is another to tattoo Mr. Obama's face on your arm. It might even be fine to put a picture up in your store window but not repaint the outside of your building with images of the the president-elect dressed as Superman.

And yes, I have seen all these things in my city.

Edit: did you see the new south park episode, it's about the hype

Written by akatana on 06.11.2008 at 21:48

once in a while there comes a public figure that gets people excited about politics. IF kennedy would have been elected the response would be the same. You also cannot deny the fact that for black people this is a historic moment, and if you would be african american yourself I guess you would feel a lot more passionately about the importance of the moment.

It is strange to hear you say that people get so excited about somebody when you christians are known to get extremely fanatical about jesus while arguing that he was such a charismatic man that the crowds followed him ecstatically.

BAHAMA FOR OBAMA!!!!!

I'm happy he won. Most people at work today were happy too.

But Bahamians freak out over this kind of stuff though, on the radios a victory party for Obama was being advertised. My co-worker said that in his area people were tooting their horns at 11PM in celebration!! you'd SWEAR it was OUR election! haha

Same here ... people are going ballistic over this election. Christ, there wasn't this much controversy over our federal elections which took place just a few weeks prior, lol. They were even showing videos on the news of people in Germany who were celebrating over Obama's win ... but I guess it's understandable; this decision effected the globe.

That and the conervatives won our federal election, theres no celebrating over that.

Anyway, like most Europeans I want to congratulate the us for this election and for finding it's character again.

Well, the South Park episode was great, it's all that matters

Sorry for the spam, but the episode really was brilliant, completely unpredictable. And it also quite well made fun of the people's reactions after the elections.

And all those who don't share the joy, consider at least that if Obama hadn't won, Palin would have been a vice president. And that is already a reason for being really glad.

Yeah, I know, I was pretty pissed/surprised at the results ... then again, only 51% of the eligible population voted, lol. Shows our faith in our government.

Anyways a little more back to the topic, its kind of funny how the US is taking a more left-wing path now, and the conservatives are taking our country into a more right wing direction.

Yeah, I'm still dumbfounded that our country is putting the power into the hands of Stephen Harper, its almost as if everyone has completely lost their minds. Sure, I like the idea of not being able to afford healthcare because our healthcare program is scrapped, I like the idea that my family could get financially fucked by his plans to privatize Canada Post, not to mention I love the idea of having to work 10-12 hour days just to afford a crummy 1 bedroom apartment because the conservatives seem to not give a shit about the obvious housing problem out here. Not to mention increased military spending and decreased child care programs, we need dumber children and more guns.
But most of all I really love class seperation, it creates such a friendly world.

Now I hope you of all people taka wouldn't have blind faith in this man like a lot of people here in the United States do. It's almost ironic how fundamental you are with liberalism in contrast to your obvious opposition to people of faith and them incorporating that into their political beliefs, maybe how you incorporate your own faith (or lack thereof) in your beliefs? I of course respect your opinion, highly, but don't be so quick to judge what has not been done or can not be seen as of yet.

I am surprised that you would think so little of me. I told you that regarding political views, Obama I is still too right wing for me. I will be very critical of him. But mycongratulations were referring to the us people electing an intelligent man into office on grounds of political change not on the grounds of boys kissing and abortion.

Everyone in Canada smokes pot now, not just teenagers, (its perfectly normal to go to a friends house and see their parents smoking a doobie). So I'm pretty sure there will be a bloody coupe before we let them tighten the grip, seeing as we're on the virge of legalizing it at this point.

What I find funny is that people keep on stating that Obama is black. Last time I checked he is as much black as he is white.
