Title: The American election
Post by: oldspice on November 10, 2008, 06:34:25 pm: Were we avoiding it on purpose or did we just let the most historical election for almost fifty years slip by without comment?

Thank God McCain didn't win. He's OK but that mad bitch Palin might have become President in a couple of years.

I'm glad Obama won for all sorts of reasons.

It's certainly the most significant development in Black culture since the abolition of slavery. It's significance to all Afro-Europeans can hardly be exaggerated. It marks the end of an era and could almost be considered symbolically as the ultimate emancipation of the black American. Not 50 years ago, Obama would have had to have given up his seat to a white man in some states of the USA.

I suggest you go look at the 2000 and 2004 results that was even more divied!

the so called last land side was 1984 and he had about 15million more votes
before that was 1972 with nixon with a 17 million lead

the last big democart lead was 1964 with 15million after that it got tight!
