Today, America gets changed forever

Socialist economy, here we come!

Give over, no-one anywhere close to being a socialist has been anywhere near the white house. The definition of socialist isn't "Taxes the very rich more than the other guy."

Any road, it's a bit rich throwing the word socialism around on a website like GBAtemp, a site dedicated to a passtime with distinctly socialist undertones.

Have any of you guys watched Farenheit 9/11? They depicted how Bush had been portrayed as a fun/party/not so serious guy for one year until 9/11 happened when he was reading a book towards children in an elementary school. That shows how Bush has fallen.

Wish I could watch, but I'll be at college :sadface:

:yayobama:

 

[Sstew]

I would be astounded if I didn't see it at school.

In other words. OBAMA = FAIL

Everyone is so excited because he is black. Some guys (I think Howard Stern) when to some ghetto black town and asked which of Obama's policies did they like. He named a McCain policy and they wer all "Awwww yeeeeaaah! I luv me some !" Then he got them Fried Chicken and Kool-Aid!

Agreed. Have you heard he's been comparing himself to Lincoln, but has never been in office, or done anything important. I read earlier he wants to F@#$ing change the Declaration of Independence. That's absoloute madness, Thats what this country was built on, If that happens an assassination will follow I'm sure. Im watching it tomorrrow, although it will be about race, and they'll interview every black person there, who thinks he's a saviour. Plus, he wants an economic stimulus package, which so far is almost 900 billion dollars. Do you realize Bush's debt in office was 1.2 Trillion. Obama will have spent almost more money in a week then what took Bush 8 years to accomplish. Just thought i'd point out that he isnt as "amazing" as everyone is saying.

And where did you read that? Free Republic? Newsmax?

EDIT: Lol, just read the transcript of the speech the freepers are basing that on, talk about clutching at straws. Of course the sad thing is, stuff like the works on some people (Like exhibit A here) and soon enough you get "so i herd he lieks changing the Declaration of Independence", "So I herd he's really a muslim" etc.

Of course, we all know what those "Tax and Spend Liberals" are like.

America won't be changed.

It is great that the race boundry has been crossed in the whitehouse, but what your really going to get is an illusion of change, Obama in all his gusto and fanfare will soon enough hit the imovable wall of partisan politics and party hatred that stops any modern day president from achieving greatness.

Blacks will celebrate, and have good reason to. The breaking of the race barrier in the white house is a great feat, but where the changes need to happen, they won't. Discrimination will still be there, hate crimes will still happen, and there will never be reparations for slavery. Alot of people think Obama will save the black people of the US.....don't hold your breath.

Bush is human, Obama is human, Richard Nixon is human. ALL PRESIDENTS ARE HUMAN, THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM US!!!

 

[Moots]

Also for whomever mention Farenhiet 9/11

Try not to believe everything a lying, headline chopping, douche bag puts out.

Theres alot of holes in MM stories, he has been known to chop headlines to sound more in line with his beliefs, and uses alot of vague, un-proven facts. Or notice how he'll let someone talk at length if they agree with him, but if not, he quickly villifies people.

Prepare for more of the same old from your new president US. Its what will happen. The political scene in the US has become too twisted and corrupt for you ever to see change in the people's favour ever again. If it doens't make money sense then the states doesn't care.

Until they move away from a two party system, which with the direction of the political scene, doesn't seem likely any time soon, the states will continue to see hard times, and move away from what the founding fathers image for their great country was.



And for the Tax and spend liberal cartoon guy.

You do know that that surplus had little to do with Clinton's policies? Notice he was the only president in that cartoon to experience that big of an economic boom? but yet he had no part in creating it. Any president who walked into that internet boom would have an easy time of it.

 

[Sstew]

Agreed, I mean honestly the political system here is horrid. I mean we elect a president for no reason really, He just says "Yes or No" to certain things and makes public appearances, its the Senate and House of Representatives, that create the bills ect.


Anyway, Im placing money on the fact that not even Obama can come close to fixing our economy. While were at it, we need to reduce the motor companies, employes wages there crazy high.

Socialist economy, here we come!

Not specifically aimed at you but I find it delightfully amusing when such terms are bandied about, not because of any truth or lack thereof but purely because I think people will find the definitions of left and right wing as it pertains to politics in the US are far skewed of what many in the rest of the world take as their standard (if indeed it can or even should be simplified to a binary grouping). Quite in fact the US left would probably fit quite happily in with the rightmost (in common circles mind) of Europe, Australia and Asia.

On the other hand I have yet to hear of a good politician (I am still shocked when one admits fault and it is a pleasant surprise when one follows logic in creating proposals and/or legislation) and I have no reason to assume the current selection will be any different.

 

[ryukyus]

Who knows he might bring change, but to me all politicians are lying scum bags, he is completely different from that two faced moron bush, so he might or might not, bring change I'll wait and see

 

[VmprHntrD]

Your topic title is a joke. The only 'change' forever is the fact finally a black guy got the top office. Outside of that he's just another politician like the rest, possibly worse due to being from the worst of it the Chicago machine politics world, or he'll do as he has been claiming and govern from the middle to fix some things up. I don't fault him, don't hate or like him as a politician yet, but I think as a person he seems nice.

 

[Zyenet]

"Tomorrow, America gets changed forever..."

Yeah, for the worse. His name should be Barack Obamanation

Please keep the partisan crap out of here. Give anyone a chance before you condemn them.

He's got some of the most stupid ideas I've heard yet. More taxing on the wealthy, but less on the poor?

That's going to make everyone poor, because obviously the poor can't manage money as it is. Give them money, and they'll waste it.

I don't hate him as a person, just as a politician.

 

[damole]

I don't know why some of you guys are hating/doubting Obama. He's going to be better than Bush.

Umm, he's not gving money to the poor. When you reduce taxes you just take less of thier money.

And the reason americas political/economical system is fucked is partly because how the wealth of the country is spread out.

Not only are most americans poor, but those poor people are usually just paying off debt to those few in the highest earning brackets.

Americans are raping americans. They guys who own your bank, don't care that a fellow american is homeless they just want thier money. They lend you more than they know you can pay, so you owe them money. It all started with the credit system, and thats where it'll end.

They day people started getting things before they had worked for them, using credit, people stopped breaking even, or even making something on the positive side. The only direction with credit is down, sure there are some people with good credit, but that barely scratches the surface of people in debt.

It neds to go back before the credit system. If you wanted a horse, you worked until you had enough for the horse, you appreciated the horse, you earned that horse, not a moment before.

 

[Moots]

He won't be "better" than bush.

He'll be better liked, but nothing will change. The direction of the country now, as Bush has sent it, is the same road Obama will follow. The war will continue, the economy will continue to crumble etc.

It'll be more of the same.

Obama, may be worse than George Bush, because he is this shining hope, yet he will do nothing. He will have the power to change things and won't. He'll be gutless, and thats worse.

 

[juggernaut911]

Did he ever prove that he was a born citizen??

 

[Diosoth]

I doubt the KKK will be dumb enough to try and kill Obama, even if they are all borderline retarded, stupid rednecks. If they did, a race war would break out with blacks taking revenge against whites. And the whites would lose a race war.

Besides, those mouthbreathing inbreds had their chance with Ron Paul, a pathetic old Texan who only appealed to bigots and other disenfranchised losers looking to blame someone else. The old fool published a racist newsletter, took KKK money and his biggest supporters were either KKK leaders or conspiracy whackjobs. They gave him enough millions to go buy that dumb blimp, then in the end het gets roughly 10,000 popular votes on election day, because most people who were praising him didn't go vote(because leaving the house isn't something many bigots actually do).

They're all talk, no walk, and will continue to sit on their asses and whine on internet forums as they often do.

As far as fiction goes, Canadian Bacon was Michael Moore's only good film.

I can't watch it live because I have class. Why do they do inaugurations in the morning?

 

[da_head]

personally i think obama is quite overrated. saying he will be better than bush isn't a very convincing argument. also, it kinda sucks that he's gonna have to spend at least 2 yrs digging america out of the recession before he can finally do what he wanted. o well

p.s. am i the only one who's gonna actually miss bush? that guy was jokes! xD

o and don't say he started wars and shit. poor bastard was only a puppet for much smarter ppl *cough* dick cheney
