		<description>***4.) Believe it or not, my issue is not with the fact that Obama was elected. I am taking issue with what I believe to be the motive behind a significant (significant enough to get him elected) number of his supporters.***

But leaders are always voted in on the basis of lies. No one ever debates the real issues, because the swing voters are too stupid to understande them. Anyone who *thinks* about things will stick with a Party for life unless the situation changes radicaly.</description>

		<description>@Some Canadian Skeptic

&quot;Voters in Arkansas, Arizona, California, and Florida have demonstrated the hatred and bigotry of the new nigger in America: the homosexual. Antiquated religious dogma, backed by millions of dollars to spread blatent lied designed to appeal to people’s lower-natures (fear, anger, and more fear) have truly stained what should otherwise be a great day for America...

Still, it was a fantastic victory in the right direction. Hopefully, the example set by Obama and his supporters will spread, and the bigotry and hatred demostrated by those states will one day reverse the decisions made last night&quot;

Hmmm, interesting.  Here&#039;s an excerpt from this year&#039;s Vice Presidential debate:

&quot;IFILL: Let&#039;s try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay marriage?

BIDEN: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.&quot;

It seems to me that the Obama administration supports the results of what happened in Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Florida.</description>

		<description>Voting for a Magna Cum Laude graduate against an established good old boy network is hardly a nod to racism. It IS a statement of hope for a more thoughtful future.

It&#039;s often been said that for any individual from a disenfranchised minority to succeed in the white culture, they have to work twice as hard and be twice as smart as their competition. 

That&#039;s why I voted for Obama,,,

&quot;Remember, remember the 5th of November!&quot; (V for Vendetta)

Let&#039;s see what the day brought the world. Let&#039;s hope that the hope in Obama is not in vain!</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;I mean, what other job can really prepare you to be President of the United States? Prime Minister of Great Britain maybe?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

LOL!

Have you &lt;i&gt;seen&lt;/i&gt; our current Prime Minister?</description>
