Now we are back on the right track. Glad the American people have finally come to their senses and made the right choice!

There is the possibility that they fixed it so he would win. I mean who in there right mind wants this mess? Anyways, I was wrong, I admit it. The bright side is that my side won. I'm stunned.

The people should be united, picking the best candidate regardless of party affiliation. They should not care what side won but that the best candidate, regardless of party, is running the country or ANY office for that matter. The people should want what is best for the country and its citizens. The two party system has effectively divided the country, while behind closed doors they work together for their own agenda (their meaning the political elite). Did the mainstream sheeple ever hear of anyone else (who was running for president) besides those of the two party conglomerate, probably not. Debates are far from fair as they do not include any other candidates to give them a chance on a national stage, most questions are screened, and are not forced to give an answer relevant to the question. There is simply too much money at play in election campaigns. The media is essentially bought & paid for by the two party monster (that claims to have different viewpoints). Ever heard of divide & conquer? We are seeing it in action. Last edited: Nov 6, 2008 Reactions: Tomorrow, race4aliving, cfrizz and 4 others

Is it a big coincidence that there has never been a black president up until yesterday. The point is black people have never been given a fair shake in the political world especially in the United States. How many black people are in the Senate?

Halon451 Audioholic Samurai Nov 5, 2007 2,800 0 113 52 Nov 5, 2008 #14 I posted these thoughts on Darien's thread, but I'll repeat them here. I don't believe in electing any individual either based on race or gender or not electing them based on either. The political race should not have anything to do with race, but what is remarkable, that even though I don't agree that Obama was the right choice for President in this election - in a country so long divided by racism and unequality, by this election we have crossed a milestone in bridging that gap. I don't see it have a significant effect on the current states of racism in this country, even now - you're likely to see some backwoods wackos hollering about this and how the "black man" is taking over, but they can easily be ignored by those who actually have a brain. I think it's a good step in the right direction, but I am personally divided over the concept that we are able to elect an African American as President vs. he's not who I wanted to see in office, color aside! If that makes any sense... Reactions: MinusTheBear
