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.
Moved.

Did you ever stop to think, for a moment, that this is how black people have felt in every other election?
That the reason they were not registered to vote is because it was an exclusively white right to the highest office?
People have failed to consider that Obama's "inexperience" is something worth marveling at. In a couple of days in Washington, he proved himself at the expense of the mest established and beloved leaders in the country. It is not charisma stuffed into a suit, that draws people to Obama.
That is just a part of the mans character. When he speaks, people listen, when he promises, people believe, and when he leads, people follow. Is that not what the president is supposed to be about?
Wow, friend. i havent disagreed with u since the whole mariah fiasco (which ive just now forgiven u for) lol ... some of the items under "truth of the matter" is speculation, really. thats ok, though, i still like u and this wasnt as serious as the mariah incident, so we're still good.
