Congratulations

It's my understanding that they are used to help the Iraq gov suppress the radicals in the country. If you want to call it a war then call it a war.

More Republican bullsh*t via Bush

Now that 'our' political house seems to be in order when do you plan on shutting up about the US and start fixing your own screwed up country?

You can start by getting rid of all those gas bag royals you have -

Our election day will come soon when the current bunch of Twats formerly led by Bliar and replaced by an even bigger idiot will be kicked out

A. I don't consider it a war.

Ask the families of the 5,000 American troops killed in Iraq what they think it is. Ask the children what they think happened to their Daddy.

What you think is irrelevant. It's a money spinning war for GWB and his cronies - the death toll is not an issue as long as they make their millions out of it. Obama will be the same - money talks.

Perhaps when you've worked out where the UK is and have studied it's monarchy history, you may be better qualified to offer a constructive opinion.

Until then, I suggest you concentrate on the matters more pressing in the USA - isn't there someone you need to shoot?

Col, you're no more qualified to spit your sh*t about the US out either, yet you seem to rather enjoy repeating the same idiotic ranting every chance you get. Maybe you should follow your own advice for once.

Mostly, it was. CNN shows 18-29 year olds voted for Obama 66% of the time, while the 65 and older age group voted for McCain 53% of the time. Without the 18-29 age group, it is clear that Obama would have lost this election.

It would be interesting to see the voter split for previous elections.

I would assume America would be similar to Australia in that it is normal for the votes to be about 55/45 for the conservative party with 55 and older voters and 55/45 for Labor Party with younger voters.

I think those of us between the ages of 30-65 who voted had a little something to do with it.

Exactly. Money and the need for the new war gear to be tested and for the soldiers to have a run.

If Al Gore had won in 2000 and Osama had done his thing then America would have gone to Iraq.

For the 2003 invasion of Iraq our Labor party was in opposition at the time and they did all the anti Iraq stuff. But for Iraq/Bush 1 our Labor party were in office and Australia went to Iraq and the labor party did the pro war thing

I was so sure that Mckain would win, thank God I was wrong.

Re: Black Man Smacks Down Pensioner

If I was black and an American I would have voted for McCain.

A couple of reasons. Firstly, 48% of Americans chose to not vote for Obama and of the 48% there were 46% then went with McCain.

Your picture that portrays McCain as a pensioner is correct, that is how he came across, just like he had finished a game of lawn bowls......but 46% still voted for him.

Given all the problems of Bush and republicans, the support from Oprah, the mood for change etc and etc then Obama should have got a true landslide, around 55% of the vote. or even more. But that was not the case. Just the opposite.

I think for the black people the timing is wrong. Obama will have his hands tied, in fact they are doubly tied because he can only veto and approve or do what he can via TV because of the limitations of being POTUS.

But the blacks will have had their shot.

Within 3 months Obama will be ducking and weaving.

The blacks and also the whites who want the gov't to do it for them would have been better off if McCain had won and Obama had won the next election.

I don't think the majority of Americans believe the problems will be solved by even one presidential term. It's going to take a lot of time to heal the damage caused over the last 8 years, but I believe we are ready to prove to the world we are up for the challenge. Everyone is just excited that something will finally be done for us instead of Iraq.

 

[ColinEssex]

I think it's inconsiderate of Obama to uproot his family when they are so young.

His wife has a nice little cleaning job, he had the chance of a nice number parking cars with lots of tips. Now the kids will have to get used to a new school in a strange state, she'll need to get another part-time job and that won't be easy for a black girl (although she is quite attractive).

In the meantime, all his family will now be in danger from the rifle freaks who want to make their name.

Sometimes ambition can be a negative thing - maybe it's better the devil you know.
