Obama vs McCain

[metmum]

Its a pity in the UK we haven't got a different person to vote for, we just 3 sorts of shit in different suits all of them talking bollocks.

Yeah, the news reported pretty much about the presidential election.
But everytime i saw news about the election i thought it was a propagandaspot for Obama. The news here were always about Obama - McCain wasn't mentioned really often, pretty onesided..
I'll wait and see how Obama acts, before i say anything else.

seriously hope Obama wins.

Don't Want George W mark II in charge. Another trigger happy war lord is not what is needed.

Honestly I can't see why anyone would vote for McCain, but then I can't see why anyone would have voted for the idiot Bush but he still managed to win two elections.

I just hope the US public actually vote for the right guy this time.

If Kerry had won in 2004 - we wouldn't be talking about Barack Obama today. Most likely we'd be talking about a McCain win over Kerry's second term. Say what you will about Bush, but Kerry was an idiot. Couldn't make a decision, couldn't stick with a position, continually changing his mind depending on which way the wind blows. He gave no confidence to anyone in the US.

Things happen for a reason - I believe Bush's second term led the way for Barack to win. History has proven that leaders rise to occasion when they are most needed. I don't know how Barack can live up to the expectations that have been built up for the past 2 years. While I have my reservations about a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress, it will be interesting to see what happens for the next two years before the next Congressional elections in 2010.

woah I didn't know people from other countries cared about this stuff, thats neat..

Just because almost 40% of the eligible American voters still don't seem to care about which retard is going to be most powerful for at least the next four years, doesn't mean the rest of the world is that ignorant

He's just a 16 year old kid who was in no way stating that the rest of the world is ignorant, he was just expressing his surprise that the rest of the world cared so much about our politics.

But yes Metfan, because America is such a powerful country, our politics effect the rest of the world.

But this presidential election is different. Very much different. I had an eye on Americas previous presidential elections, but this time, I was really excited. And I felt that this was one of the most important elections in the last decades. And I dont feel alone, I think the whole world watched THIS election with a special interest. Reasons for this: a. the war monger in the White House b. the most charismatic candidate since JFK

Very true. Quoting a friend of mine:

The one thing that is that will happen that i like is that the world will come back to liking us again. that is one thing that pissed me off most about this last administration. I've lived overseas, its better for us when we're liked

Totally agreed! I have been reading into this quite a bit lately, and all I find is that at that period in time, already a lot of Americans didnt like Bush, but the other option (Kerry in this case), was even worse....

Who will lead the world into war now...

[andrewhayes]

Proud to say that I live in Ohio and we finally made the right decision. I had the opportunity to meet Senators Obama & Biden a week ago, just before the election. It was pretty amazing. To those of you who made the right choice, I thank you. To those of you who voted for mcCAIN'T & FAILin, you'll get over it...

regards,

It doesn't matter who is gonna be the next president. If Obama or Mc Caine? The fact is the USA is bankruptcy. The big car industry is down. In big cities (Detroit and Buffallo) are empty houses (it was shown on the German political show "Weltspiegel")
Metallica Fans haven't money to buy cams to record the shows! A question in the past was:" Why Metallica hits Europe so often in the last few years?" Answer: The Euro is stronger than the U.S. Dollar!
I'm very interesting in, which country Obama will roll over in his period. I read he will catch Osama! It was very funny to read it!!!!
