All hail President Scroob!

But to all of our friends from across the lake, I would like to welcome you to the newly renamed USSA! =D Yes, the United Socialist States of America!

By the way, has anybody seen that THX-1138 fellow...? I'm sure he'd be [i]thrilled[i] to hear about this xD

So did Bush, but the electoral college still voted him in anyway.

And Barack had 294 electoral votes, I think.

Also, Huzzah! Finally a Democrat in the White House! Because the last eight years have just been crap. Or perhaps a snowball, composed of crap, that started small, but grew larger as it rolled on.

The state electorates are delivered to the candidate that won the respective state. When Obama won the necessary number of high population states to get over 270 the rest is just extra. If the electoral college votes the way it has for 200+ years, they will vote for the candidate that won the state. However, electorates do not have to vote for the candidate that won the state, which is an argument used in 2000 when Democrats urged electors to vote against the states election results. Just like then, it would be wrong if the electors do that now.


whew


Now where's that damned borscht recipe? Help a Comrade out, willya?

So Heroes will be on again next week?

Great, so we finally get a great President for the USA, a year after the biggest kiss arse suck up Australian Prime Minister gets voted out.

I hope the election victory is ratified!

Like that's getting any better either.
ugh.

They should fire some writers next.

Should be interesting to see how the next 4 years go. Of course we still have 2 more months of Bush to screw something up for Obama to fix or try to fix.

At least you guys get change. We Canadians get more of the same from our election

I'd just like to remind folks that this thread will be watched carefully. Please mind your manners when posting.

You can come live with me! lol jk

No one knows what's coming yet. Everyone's pointing fingers and asking for death and so on and so forth.

How about we do our best to be a united country once again and see where that takes us?

This is a prime example of why I don't miss the P&R forum.

What he said. Can we just stop making assumptions about a guy who hasn't even seen his first day as President, and start thanking our preferred Deities (Or lack thereof) that Bush doesn't have nearly enough time or credibility to screw us anymore than he already has?

Although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to have a Black President.

Destiny. Change the world.

NSFW.

Dumb move. Even a threat against a President-elect can be seen as an act of treason, assuming you live in the states, and even if you don't live in this country you put yourself at risk. Remember, even on this wonderous magical internet, we are not as anonymous as we believe. Tread lightly.

Presidents don't make laws, spend money, or pork up unnecessary bailout bills. I was actually hoping that Obama was truly a Muslim, and therefore opposed to any pork. But alas, it is not true. Our glorious Comrades in Congress do that. Does the President propose bills, budgets, etc.? Yes. He also signs it into law. But Congress votes to allow it. Congress adds pork after pork after pork. And the last two presidents have been all too willing to sign anything that crosses their desk. Presidents can't do jack without Congress allowing it.

As far as fixing things? Nah. Won't happen. See, we'll have two years of social programs that will only cost us more money, another bailout is already being asked for by members of Congress, and we'll run off investors and large businesses that employ people by taxing them out of the country or business entirely. Then we'll have a populace that is dependant upon some government program to even survive, thus insuring that the same fat cats who don't have term limits keep going right back to Washington, plundering our tax dollars for their power trips. Trust me, things will not change for the better. Not while Congress is still composed of the socialist minded individuals there.


And anyone who thinks that Bush was a conservative or that McCain is either for that matter is sorely mistaken.

How funny would it be if a bunch of army dudes rushed into your house and took you to guantanamo bay for that
