Flash: OBAMA IS PRESIDENT!!!
 

Thats right Obama is now the President of the United States!!!! HAPPY TIMES ARE HERE AGAIN!:yep:

Flash: Old News



Sorry, but it had to be done.:smug:

Just listening to Obama speak now on the 6pm news here. All i can say is WOW! I never thought he would make president. America you rock! :up:

Democrats / Republican whats the difference between the two.
Here we have two main parties National & Labour. National is more the pro american, support the Anzac's, less Politically correct. Labour is more save the whales, tree huggers, gobal warming, make peace not war. Labour has been in govenment for about 4 elections now:nope:

So Democrats and republicians anyone care to explain what is the difference between the two...:hmm:

Preferably non of the hardliners.

Something similar to your Labour vs. National, though the line is so blurred, I can't tell myself lately. Repubs would follow your National. Demo's, your Labour.

The way you describe it, it sounds nearly identical in policy.

Though statistically, demo's like to go to war more.

-S

It's pretty similar kiwi, dems are labour, reps are national.

Just like across the se in oz Labor are the dems and Liberals are the reps.

Republicans are like your Nationals, Democrats are like your Labor.

Don't they flip sides/policies every couple decades or so? Never really understood that.

Obama is President.:down: :down: :down: :down: :down: :down:

I think I'm going to throw up.

Sorry, I just can't help this.:

Here in New Mexico, where I registered 267 new voters personally, we also have Dem. Senator Tom Udall, and sweep of all three Congressional seats with Martin Heinrichs, Harry Teague and Ben Lujan.

I met Lt. Gov. Diane Denish last week with Teague and Udall. There's talk here of gov. Bill possibly moving up to Sec. of State and Sen. Jeff Bingaman as Secretary of Energy. I suggested to Denish she might consider Amb. Joe Wilson as a candidate to fill Bingaman's seat if he goes into the Obama cabinet. As a former Bush 41 Charge d'Affaires in Baghdad with vast experience in foreign service, it would make a good bipartisan choice and put a good man in the Senate for the Foreign Affairs or Intelligence Committees. Of course, my nominee for Attorney General would be David Iglesias.

Oh! rubbing it in, eh? :)

Gloat as much as you like and enjoy the day.

A five to seven percent margin of victory certainly does not constitute any sort of demonstration that the Republicans have had their asses handed to them.

It remains to be seen if Obama can live up to his big pep-rally rhetoric.

Hopefully, it is more than just blind/pseudo optimism created by a man who felt absolutley at home saying anything he felt he needed to, to wedge himself into the presidency.

Goodluck Americans I hope you made the wise choice.

Send Obama a GWX copy with the message 'You think you have a tough road ahead, you simply haven't play GWX'.... :arrgh!:

Well, it would seem that I have underestimated the Democratic electorate of this country. I had complete confidence that McCain would win, as much as I dislike him. Egg on my face:oops:

However, I would caution that Democratic presidencies combined with Democratic congress have yielded some of the greatest economic and social hardships this country has faced in the past century.


Right now, this country can ill-afford vast expenditures on social programs, as well as the inevitable continuing expenditures on Iraq, whatever the Dems may say about it. The combination of the banking system with the Federal government to the extent we know today is a recipe for a disaster of heretofore unseen proportions if mishandled. And that is the key. No matter who is president, it will only take one selfish plutocrat or bumbling fool to plunge this nation into an economic abysss that will take centuries (and wars) to recover from.

It would seem that America has been willing to give its' "leadership", since we evidently have such a thing, despite the efforts of our founders, the power to govern the currency, and the welfare of the people. Let us hope that it doesn't work out as disastrously as it has for every other nation that tried it.

One way or the other, It would appear that Barack Obama is now my commander-in-chief. With any luck, we won't have to deal with the situation we had last time there wasa Democratic president, congress, and a fiscal crisis. :nope:

Not yet. I still hold out hope Obama will be found to be Constitutionally ineligible to hold office.

[If you wonder what I'm blathering on about, ask yourself why KENYA is partying so hard tonight.]

A KENYAN born citizen CANNOT become POTUS (President of the United States) But don't tell them that until the party is over....

Only a "natural born US citizen" can.

Nor can and an INDONESIAN citizen become POTUS. Or even a "naturalized US citizen from Indonesia."

No. Only a "natural born US citizen" can. This is the same reason the current governor of California can never become POTUS--because he NOT a NATURAL BORN US citizen.

(And, yes...just in case you wondered: I AM talking about Barack Obama--it's alledged he might be either Kenyan born or Indonesian educated, either of which should make him ineligible to be POTUS under the terms of the US Constitution.

[Supreme Court decision probably upcoming].

Why does it matter? It's because this one, elected official is the ONLY one who will be in command of the US military (and all it's might). It's because he, ALONE, will be Commander-in-Cheif (and so he must be loyal ONLY to the United States (he can have no split/dual loyalties).

See "Article 2" of the US constitution (look for better sources, btw, than "Wikipedia")

I thought all the political mud slinging would at least slow down with the election being over, not reach epic proportions. Maybe another week will do it?

Mate, Obama has done nothing but create suspicion by refusing to produce solid evidence that he's a born citizen. Makes you wonder why he wouldn't simply whip out a copy??

Regardless, I suspepct that anything that represents him in a negative light will not see the light of day for at least a year, and even then there would be very little attention. Things like his birth cerrtificate will never see the light of day. Why? There are lots of people wondering...

It is simply beyond me to understand why he flatly refuses to produce it if he is, as he claims, born in the states.

His birth certificate has never seen the light of day? Really?

It's not beyond my understanding if he has something to hide (and I think he does).

He hasn't produced any of his school records either, of course. Nor any records of how his schooling was financed.

But since the Mainsteam Media here in the US (THE MSM) has given him a free pass, he hasn't had to do so.

He's certainly HAS created suspicion by refusing to be forthcoming (but apparently not enough suspicion, because he was, nonetheless, elected tonight--too bad for the rest of the American Electorate--they deserve whatever they get, IMO, for failing to exercise "due diligence.").

I would agree, that, based on the pace of American jurisprudence (my sister is a lawyer, so I'm quite familiar with it), it will, indeed be a year, or more before there is any chance of the real truth being discovered and known to all.

So I won't wait--I'm bailing out now.
