I am a little upset.
Look, I will support our new president. Obama will bring some change I am sure and I am a little excited to see how he handles himself and our country. I am very worried about American citizens and why it is that he really won.
Facts:
1) This election has created a 7.3 increase in voter registration and a record turnout. The only time in
history more people have voted in a presidential election was in 1960!
2) The last time this many Americans wanted to have their voices heard was when another celebrity democrat was running for office, you all may remember J.F.K.
3) 95% of African American voters picked Obama, big surprise!
4)Black voters jumped 7& this election, that can not be refuted. It is fact. You can say what you will be if there were not an African American candidate that increase would not have been so high.
5) white voters fell this election while minorities increased. In the meantime total voters increased by the millions from the last 2 elections.
The truth of the matter is
a) black people voted for Obama when they have never voted before because he is black.
b) white people who are ignorant voted for obama because they believe a celebrity over an experienced, trustworthy candidate.
c) people just wanted change in general, ignorant people look at something bad and think well we'll vote for the opposite of what we have because that will be good. Most people have no clue what Obama's policies are they just wanted "change".
This country is full of morons and I am sad that our country may suffer because our desire to be new and different. Our love of celebrities and vulnerability to a good stuffed shirt with an excellent speech.
One of the things Bush was most criticized before his war fucks ups was his inability to speak intelligently in front of the public, well America wants a charismatic man, they got one.
