EDIT: My God really bad spelling of Congratulations.

 

[punwisp]

[dickxunder]

I wish I could write up some huge post about this, but words really cannot describe my joy at this. Grats, Barack. Hope your daughters enjoy the puppy.

 

[darvarda93]

This will be new, what do you guys think he'll change?

 

[Zombie]

Still better than McCain. But if Obama really withdraws the US. troops from Iraq, we're all dead.

 

[punwisp]

How will we be all dead?

We won't be dead, unless your from Iraq, then you'll be dead. I feel so sorry for them... LOL

 

[Zombie]

I'm not from Iraq, but that's true. All the things the Americans have built up and worked for will be destroyed in days.

 

[General Frank]

Yay! Whoo-hoo.

btw, fixed thread name.

We really haven't been building anything up in iraq and its just like in a warcraft 3 game, you cant spend time to completely kill an enemy, just cripple them by destroying there town hall ie Saddam Hussein, and leave to go manage our own things. By staying we'd waste gold and lumber, ie millions of dollars, to manufacture units, send troops, while we wouldn't be focus on the other players, Chin, and Russia. So taking out Saddam and leaving is what we need to do and that only.

 

[punwisp]

We are way past that already so how does that matter? lol

 

[Direfury]

I think it's closer to the stage where you've destroyed their Castle and are pissing them off by building over all the gold mines and hell, building new shit in their base, while their little peasants fail to build another town hall.

 

[punwisp]

Someone has played too much warcraft

 

[PurplePoot]

Why do so many people seem to think Saddam needed eliminating anyways? Sorry to slightly derail this thread, but it's an interesting topic and it was brought up.

In fact... perhaps this merits its own off-topic thread?

Metaphors we can relate to!

 

[SuPa-]

Obama FTW

 

[Arvedui]

I would say no. It'll just turn into a shit storm, just like every other thread that was closed that related to it.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Obama deserves a bullet.

*Waits for shitstorm*

=D

 

[punwisp]

your mom deserves a bullet!!! >=(<

(joke)

 

[PurplePoot]

Stop spamming the thread.

In other news, if you haven't seen his victory speech yet, do so.

 

[En_Fuego]

That speech brought new definitions to the word "impressive". I mean, I knew Barack Obama was a good speaker, but that was just amazing.

I also liked McCain's, seeing as I was there to see it in the flesh (living in AZ ftw). The only problem was all of the people there who kept booing whenever he mentioned Obama. I feel bad for the Republican party; being represented by a bunch of fascist jackasses. Atleast McCain and Palin were classy enough to recognize that it's a victory for America whether they won or not.

Oh, and I met Palin this morning. I ditched school and went to the park where she was spending time with her family and friends before she flew back into Alaska. She's not that dumb. In fact, she astounded even me with her intelligence.

 

[Angry_Bovine]

I actually do in fact believe that both of them delivered good speeches, Barack for his sheer amazingness and McCain for his honor in defeat.

Oh, and En Fuego, that's a surprising discovery.

 

[PurplePoot]

I get the impression from various sources that she's smart in some areas and dumb in others, and the latter side spread more due to the prevalence of democrats (seemingly) in this corner of the internet, among other places. As much as I hate to agree with the republicans on much, the democrats do control a lot more of the media.

 

[En_Fuego]

Sorry to spam, but this was just too good to pass up...

 

[PurplePoot]

Yeah, it's pretty much gone around by now. There are alternate versions as well, such as one with the actual pictures and the text written in outline form diagonally across.

I guess it shows just how big this election was that it spawned its own pseudo-meme(s).

 

[SuPa-]

I heard his victory speech sucked xD

I watched the entire thing from 4-12, the speeches were good, McCaine did very well, he didn't even bash Obama.

 

[HappyTauren]

Who's McCaine?

 

[PurplePoot]

SuPa, his victory speech was awesome.

 

[The Last Istari]

Agreed, that victory speech was amazing.

 

[Pyritie]

Somebody at school showed me this one video. Apparently, now that the elections are over, the two campaigns are revealing more stuff about the candidates. Palin in particular. The video claimed she had hissy fits and didn't know Africa was a continent.

To be honest, that really doesn't surprise me. This is Palin we're talking about.

Although it's hilarious all the same. And it's undeniable proof we made the right choice this time around.

And two cents short of a brain.

For oil, go make the thread if you feel like it.

His victory speech was epic, I haven't been following the campaigns -- American Politics, need I say more? -- but my respect for Obama tripled by tenfold after watching that.

 

[punwisp]

People say McCaine still has a chance. he doesn't they made there speeches, Obama beat him by Electoral votes and by popular vote, no way in hell McCaine can get in at this point.
There speeches were epic btw

 

[HappyTauren]

Who's McCaine?

 

[~Void~]

You know what he meant. Don't make useless posts.

 

[HappyTauren]

it's not useless, I am pointing out how people can't spell something they see hundred times a day.

 

[punwisp]

I say mcaine I get yelled at cus I say it wrong... I say McCaine.. I'm saying it wrong... What the hell is it? McCain?

 

[PurplePoot]

Yes, indeed it is.

 

[Arvedui]

Yes, it's McCain.

Also this is funny, even though you could probably find the same exact thing for the other side, it doesn't diminish the hilarity of the video:

 

[donut3.5]

Haha wow, that was almost painful how ignorant some people were.
But yeah, you are going to get a lot of people would have voted against Obama for nonfactual information, like that he's a terrorist Arab Muslim.
I don't care who anyone voted for, as long as they have the sense to back up what they say. If they're diehard for one party or another, and would follow their candidate off a cliff, then IMO they shouldn't even bother voting.
--donut3.5--

 

[Squiggy]

*applauds*
Congrats, Obama

 

[bestoboy]

I'm happy for Obama, he went where no other black man had gone before

He's awesome!

Lol, there goes half your voting population xD
On either side.

 

[Gilles]

You're all just racist against white people!

You know what's funny? For the two years this thing has been going on, and all the news I've heard about it, I have no idea what the policies are for anyone. I didn't bother researching since I can't vote without an address, so I guess I either just don't pay attention, or the media really doesn't cover their policies as much as who's winning, or who said what.

 

[Angry_Bovine]

What policies? Candidates have actual policies now?

 

[dickxunder]

Obama looks like a trillion-dollars worth of charisma, I hope he does things from his words and from himself unlike that other charisma guy, that guy before him I always see in late night shows. Well I'm not from the gud-ol US of A but US presidents are actually presidents of the entire world and I'd actually support him.

I SINCERELY just hope no misguided people out there would start "racial" issues with him, its too early to tell but that scenario's surely gonna suck complete with Protests, riots, and such.

Eww, just an opinion hehehe but no letdowns today. Now that everybody's in the victory spirit so hey! Cheers! let's hope for teh best. WEEE!!

 

[The Last Istari]

Oh no, people are letting things go to their head already.

Gun Sales have gone up dramatically over here.
