 Why Is The World Rooting For Obama?
Why Is The World Rooting For Obama?
How do you explain the fact that Obama seems to be the favourite of the “rest of the world”?

he would represent a new vision of the US, one which is multicultural. At a time in global politics in which globalization and migration are raising concerns about multiethnicity and social cohesion people would see Obama’s election as a sign of progress on that front. picked by 2manyusernames 8 months ago

 Documentary to explore media impact on voters.
Documentary to explore media impact on voters. [video]
On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which informatio... read full post picked by shuallyo 1 day ago

 Obama: I will tax more of your income for social security
Obama: I will tax more of your income for social security
Hardly surprising that a liberal democrat would want to tax more of your income. Of course reverting social security to something close to its original intent might help, but a plan like that wouldn't buy many votes from the entitlement-minded demographic. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

 Obama adds his wife to the long list of things we are not supposed to discuss.
Obama adds his wife to the long list of things we are not supposed to discuss.
Barack Obama has a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife." This was in reference to a video taking Mrs Obama to task for her "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country." He called the strategy "low class." picked by 2manyusernames 6 months ago

 Obama, the Candidate of Shadows
Obama, the Candidate of Shadows
Throughout his campaign Barack Obama has mocked his critics, noting that they just don't get what a novel figure and consistent unifier he has been for his whole life. "They say: We don't know enough about him. His pastor once said something. He's got a funny name, sounds Muslim." picked by 1thirteen3 7 months ago

 Ten things that won't change (no matter who gets elected)
Ten things that won't change (no matter who gets elected)
The more things change, the more they stay the same is the old saying. How true that is. Among the things that won't change is America's relationship with China. Next time a candidate promises to get tough with Beijing, you may want to remind them of the trillion or so dollars that we owe them. picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago

 Election spurs 'hundreds' of race threats, crimes
Election spurs 'hundreds' of race threats, crimes
Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America. Ugly stuff. I'd hoped we were [but knew we weren't] be... read full post picked by abandonedcouch 3 days ago

'I Would Make A Bad President,' Obama Says In Huge Campaign Blunder
"I think Sen. Obama may have opened up a slight window for John McCain here," New York Times reporter David Sanger said during Wednesday's taping of Charlie Rose. "If the McCain camp can find some way to exploit this miscue, it could have the potential to be a real game-changer." picked by tvirus 2 weeks ago

 Obama's Finance Ploy
Obama's Finance Ploy
There are a couple issues McCain is facing right now regarding election finances. These could dramatically effect his ability to campaign.

In order for the FEC to make a ruling they need a quorum but there are are not enough members. Obama is blocking the confirmation of an appointee. If Obama continues this, McCain will have his hands tied financially and Obama will obtain a huge advantage. picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago
