Sorry guys, this may not be the place to chat politics, but i have to say it.
What A Night!
Sitting at my table with some cleaning products and a toothbrush giving a selection of my Shells a good going over at 5am while watching Obama make history. Now if you're going to deprive yourself of sleep, i reckon that's the way to do it!!!!

Anyone else get caught up in the buzz of it all or was it just me???

Well its definatly an historic day. However I have long since lost all trust in politics. They may start off with good intentions but power and privallage soon puts paid to that.

Time will tell I guess, watch this space as they say.

Ive been keeping an eye on the elections. it will be interesting to see what happens during his time in the White house.

I got home in time to watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Mildly disappointing.

However, Obama's acceptance speech was fantastic.

I have high hopes for his presidency, but then again, I did for Bill Clinton's too.

Zwer, you need to wait until Palin gets home and invade Alaska for us! That woman is too painfully dumb to live!
I have high hopes for the Democrats. They did well in the Senate and the House of Representatives as well, getting a majority in both, so things could be looking up. Here's hoping!

While invading Alaska sounds like fun (anyone remember Red Dawn? 'WOLVERINES!), I'm thinking I might want to invade somewhere warmer. I'd settle for Arizona.

Too funny - admit I watched that one a few times whilst flippin' about...best thing was the cool winter camo gear!

Hey Sneakerphile,
I came across this Obama pic which is taken from the image you have for your avatar.

That ties with the pic opn so many levels, but I doubt the one it was intended for by the person who made it

John Stewart and Stephen Colbert's show was a HUGE dissappointment IMO.

I LOVE the Daily show... and this one just sucked. Not funny at all.

You've just saved me from bothering to watch it tonight.

I have to say I have mixed emotions about Obama becoming the president. On one hand, I'm glad I was around to witness such an historic event, America's first black president. For all it's faults and shortcomings, you've just got to be full of admiration for their progression. They were a country where only 40-50 years ago the notion of a non-white president was simply inconcievable. I couldn't see the general population of the UK voting for a non-white PM anytime soon.

On the other hand, I feel that the current (and previous) administration has handed him such a poisened chalice that his failure is pretty much guaranteed. There's no way the US's problems can be sorted in one term and his detractors will simply turn around and say "see, we told you black people cannot run a country properly" then we'll never see another black president for the next 200 years. I really do hope I'm wrong on this though!

I really believe he'll make a difference but as i said before i think the change for the better and influence on america in a positive way will come from something tragic.Just as martin luther kings passing changed america for the better i think the same will happen with obama.
I also don't think americans are that dumb or smallminded to believe the colour of someones skin in anyway effects how they run the country and will not persecute the next black candidate who runs for office.
