The European oligarchs and their Socialist puppets hoped for a Clinton government.

Well, they hate change.

[SkyDancer]

And if the Obamaination does become the POTUS then all we’ll have in our pockets is “Change” ......

[NormsRevenge]

Go change your own state first, Senator and good luck.

Break the cycle of corruption back home first, then I might consider you worthy.. 'Til then, shove off.

Last time I checked, this was electing the President of the UNITED STATES, not the world, Mr. Londoner. Rid-darn-diculous. I hate this globalism.

Better be careful. I have a feeling Obama will READILY deploy troops against fellow Americans (he’ll call them “radicals”). He’d do it way before he’d be willing to deploy troops to stop a true radical like Ahmanedijad.

“He has campaigned on a pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, a popular stance in much of the world.”

What if the Iraqis don’t want us to pull out and leave them in the lurch? Does “the world” care about them?

The word is:

Be Prepared

In New Zealand, where indigenous people were robbed of land under British colonial rule, four lawmakers from the Maori Party called Obama's nomination victory "one small step for America, one giant leap for people of color the world over."

The Maori signed the Treaty of Waitangi and made a ton of money selling land to the British Crown under its terms.

No one was robbed, except for the Maori who were robbed by their fellow Maori who sold land that did not belong to them.

Personally, I am looking forward to no more cloudy days.

[Always Right]

End an unpopular war in Iraq

Surrender is not an option

heal misery in nations hit by the global food crisis

Is this new? There have been food shortages since the beginning of time. Obama is not gonna solve anything.

and stop global warming

Wow, liberals should be praising Bush, we have entered a cooling period since Bush came into office. Of course only a moron would think a president has anything to do with it.

in addition to building bridges to Muslim countries

How???? Sacrificing Israel is the only thing that will ever bridge our relations the Muslim countries. If anyone says elsewise, they are lying.

and reverse the unilateralist approach of the Bush administration.

We can't help it the Europeans have turned into a bunch of pansies.

[massgopguy]

Well, we never claimed to have the monopoly on idiots.

I hate to give a tip of the hat to Hillary! of all people, but she may have nailed it when she was alluding to the future downfall of Barrack Hussein Obama. Seriously. This is playing out like a Greek Tragedy.

*SHIVER*

[hinckley buzzard]

My suspicions appear to be confirmed. We are leaders of men but there are no men to lead--only a world populated by gibbering dirty-faced idiot children.

[mrsmel]

I hate this globalism.

You and me both. I hate the liberals who encouraged foreigners to think they have a say in American affairs, and that the US has an obligation to put their interests before those of American citizens. Just another branch in their effort to destroy America-illegal immigration, their birth rates, bringing formerly eradicated diseases into this country, protecting the "rights" of Muslim and other s to kill Americans, etc. So many ways to destroy this nation, and they're utilising them all. I wonder how long we have left.

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick, and good jobs for the jobless. This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal." The Obamessiah

Of course change is going to happen. Don't you realize this guy's magic? Europeans know this in their atheistic little hearts because they are sooooooo sophisticated. You and I are just knuckle-dragging ignoramuses.
