im indifferent to be honest, i was going to vote mccain just because he was the comfortable choice. More of the same for me was easier to stomach than all of this "ZOMG CHANGE" being strewn about. UNTIL he snagged palin to try and steal all of Hilary's would be voters that is. It was blatantly obvious thats the only reason she was there, in the least thats how I interpreted it.
I started seeing Mccain as a royal douchebag around this time,
and obama?
i didnt NOT like him, just he didnt have the experience I think shouldve beeen required for the job. I mean, to date all he has accomplished is making a few speeches here and there. It was his skin color, not his policies that won this election. One needs only watch the interviews with his supporters to verify this.
i cant count how many people who were interviewed after the inauguration clearly only supported him because of his skin color. We may as well had OJ simpson running in his place, thats all the majority of his "biggest supporters" cared about anyways.
"so why are you voting for obama"
-
"ITS ABOUT TIME WE HAD A BROTHER IN THE WHITE HOUSE"
-
"what about his policies?"
-
"WHO GIVES A ****, HES MAH *****"
a bit extreme? yes. But thats the general message most of these people sent out.
If you asked me who i officially supported though, I would have to say obama because I liked his VP. Funny how that works, I really liked Joe Biden's character.
as for obama himself, well,... as far as politics go he is a "new guy", a wildcard, He may do good, or he may do horrible. The way the economy is going right now we shouldn't have left that up to chance.
i also dont think now was a good time for the first black president, You know this entire mess is going to be pinned on him if he isnt able to do a complete turnaround on the economy. And then how many black presidents do you see in our future?
History will show that it was obama in office when the **** hit the fan.
edit**
t it's really quite a shame that we have people who want to kill him just because he's black.
i dont see why, I think its a shame that he
got most of his votes because he was black, but Ive already got into that =P
now if you'll excuse me I think my medicine is kicking in, see you guys tomorrow XD
