@ reverend and thisisme- oh please. i don't think african countries are on the same level as us world power wise. we have too many radical enemies, and are hated for too many things. why should we piss off more people? i couldn't give you a specific country name, as i know nothing about what crazed foreign political leaders are thinking, but with a country of our current status, i do not believe obama is the prime choice. and specifically to rev, i believe the majority of america is ready for a black president, but it only takes one bullet to kill someone, and that one bullet can only be shot by one person.
If Mccain were any better he would win, but he's not any better than all that shit you put up so we're gonna haveto deal.
"If Obama gets elected and lives through it, it will start a chain of events leading to the downfall of the country." OP that is a fucking dumb thing to say imo, esp. as an opening statement. i mean c'mon the country is already in a downfall if not already apparent so you couldn't put that on him. atleast he can give it a good shot.
if you're so gung ho about the individual changing the world, why hasn't the world changed to your liking? or are you satisfied by the way things are.
The world is a very large place, if you haven't noticed, and it takes many people to make a lasting impression. If everyone decided to start acting decently, then many injustices would be eliminated entirely. If you want to give up, go ahead, it is your decision, just please don't try to drag me down with you, to live in the muck of emotional pessimism. I would rather work to serve the One Love, rather than sitting resignedly, thus furthering Satan's nefarious goals. And I do see much beauty in the world. Look, and you shall see too.
Who else here is absolutely disgusted to see both the president and the legislative branch on the same end of the political spectrum (AGAIN!). Today, I am almost ashamed to be American.
African countries may not have the same power on a lot of levels, doesn't mean 'the world definitely isn't' ready for a black president, as you so succintly put it... If you can't give me any specific names of countries that 'hate black people' and will be a threat to you because Obama's taken power then I refuse to believe what you're saying, love. It's all well and good to make these out-there points but if you can't back up what you're saying with a single example then that leads me to the conclusion you are talking shit In fact, you say you have 'too many radical enemies', can you name a few? Can you name one? The only thing America is hated globally for really is it's imperialism and poisonous coca cola/mcdonalds/disney exports that shove the world- such a beautiful and diverse place- into little boxes and try to make everyone march to the beat of it's own brand of capitalism, be it through violence or whatever. 'It's hard for me to tell you what you shouldn't have to hear, your nation is the terrorist most human beings fear.' 'The US' as a global power, not necessarily as a nation, is the worst fucking terrorist in the world, hell, even the US Department of Defense define 'terrorism' as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives." Sound familiar?? Those 'crazed foreign leaders' aren't out to get you, though if you can give us an example of some that are then by all means, please share with us, I'm fascinated to know of these. Try looking a bit closer to home as to who's really keeping you scared, uninformed and docile.
