Everyone knows that Obama won because of the hatred for Bush and race. Period. No other reason. His chanting of Hope and Change was just a way to get the young votes and the poor votes. He came across as the Messiah. Now that the Dems have control over everything, our economy will turn to shite. Wall Street doesnt trust Obama. Its pretty plain to see and dont give me the rant on how he inherited this mess from Bush. It all started with the Dems taking control of Congress.
Funny you should bring up the race card since Obama got one the the best numbers of white votes being beat out only by Clinton and Carter. Here are the numbers.
If Congress is to blame so is Bush since he can either sign or veto bills. How many of his vetos got over-ridden? Two. A water bill and a cut to Medicare. He signed all the rest of them.

Like I said, his promises of hope and change plus his charisma swayed the public to vote for him. You will see how fast his ratings drop with his doom and gloom speeches and the trust Wall Street has in him. The people clearly made a mistake.
The Illinois senator won 43 percent of white voters, 4 percentage points below Carter’s performance in 1976 and equal to what Bill Clinton won in the three-man race of 1996. Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote.
Fully 96 percent of black voters supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate, a 2-percentage-point rise in their national turnout. As in past years, black women turned out at a higher rate than black men.
A stunning 54 percent of young white voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites.
It also appears youth turnout rose 1 point since 2004, to constitute 18 percent of the electorate.
McCain won a majority of every other age of white voters, which appeared to limit Obama’s reach into many traditionally Republican states.
Obama performed slightly worse with white women, 39 percent of voters, than Al Gore did in 2000. McCain won the votes of white women, 53 to 46 percent, perhaps an indication of the historical candidacy of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.
Obama compensated for the drop-off in white female support with the strong 41 percent support from white men. No Democrat since Carter had until Tuesday’s election earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.
In 2000, white women split between the two parties while Republicans won white men by 24 percentage points. That white male gap was dramatically narrowed Tuesday to 16 points, a trend that began with the financial crisis, and one that allowed Obama to split the male vote overall.
McCain won only 57 percent of the votes of white men, who were again 36 percent of the electorate.
White college graduates, 35 percent of voters, broke for McCain 51 to 47 percent, marking roughly a 3-point gain for Obama compared to Gore’s 44 percent showing.
Obama performed at a similar level as Gore with working-class whites, earning 40 percent of their support to McCain’s 59 percent, which is roughly similar to George W. Bush’s performance in 2000 and 2004.
Obama’s victory also stretched into other key blocs won by Bush four years ago. Suburban voters, who were half of the electorate, split between Obama and McCain. Rural voters, who went for Bush by 19 points in 2004, leaned to McCain by 8 points. And married voters, who went to Bush by 15 points, leaned to McCain by 6 this year.
All I know is he is leading us towards socialism. And thats not good.

We wouldnt be in this mess if everyone took personal responsibility for their actions. People tried to get something for nothing and now we are all paying for it.
Now wait OP, Obama has only been in office what...less than 2 months and you can all ready say he is a good president? Puuleeaasseee....
I have very little to say about Obama I just created an eye catching title for any users who have an opinion about Obama, (most users are complaining). Besides YOU'RE the one who said the threads were giving you a headache. *sigh* I'm going to go to bed and cry myself to sleep.
We're all Geniuses. Most of us just don't know it.
I must have heard HUNDREDS of voters talk about WHY they are going to vote for Obama...
The only reason that they could give was that he was a good speaker. NONE gave a reason why based on his policy or platform.
This spells a sad fact, you voted for a media puppet if you voted for Obama. You got played like the sucker you are.
The man has no substance but tax and spend.
I'm very excited to see if the new Israeli prime minister's arch opposite tactic of cutting taxes will show just how truth and lies will be exposed. socialism or capitalism. Let the "I told you so's" continue....

Obama is making Bush look fiscally responsible.
yea..thats right, but it will cost us over 25k each over the long run. I love to give money to the Gov't to help Pork barrel spending.

You're right: He's a great actor.
This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.
