Your right, but it's great that he's black and he can actually win an election.

White/Indian folks in my area were clearly Obama supporters because they all shooting off a couple of shots, police around here ain't used to all that atall. This place ain't as quiet as I thought it was.

So I figured some people might care, so I'll also post it in here.

Tough of course.
Doesn't feel good haha.
But I kind of expected this all along... the situation was just right for Obama to win.
Many had their doubts because he was black... but it was way more then that. (meaning the situation was way bigger then that)
As an American, he's my President. I'll be rooting for him to do good things because I don't want him to mess up our country.
So my prayers will be with him in likely difficult times.

I have the USA in my sig for a reason.
I love this country way more then I could ever hate a political candidate.
So in the end that's what matters.

Wish more conservatives people thought like you. It's a damn shame when people are blinded by hate for a political party.


Props to TBone for this

I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for all of the discussions leading up until this monumental election. Even the heated discussions, for theyproved that we all love this country that we live in, and regardless of conflicting views, we all are passionate in the belief that this American Experiment isa success.

Now is the time to realize that we are all Americans. We must heal the wounds created during this campaign and come together to focus on the real issues thatwe all face.

Blue, Red, or Green, I thank you all.

"We won" because for so long our "we" didn't count.

"We won" because my kids have somethin to aim for.

"We won" because since we were given the right to vote "we" have been voting for white men while white men wouldn't vote for"us"

Yes, "we won"
"We" are seein the fruits of "our" parents, grandparents, and great grandparents labor

"We won" because most of the country no matter race chose barack obama to be our president.
So yea, "we won" on a whole as a society, no division here. If anything this is more about unity.
