I SAY AMERICA'S FUTURE IS OURS, IF YOU CAN VOTE!!!

Yeah, I know its a bit cheesy, but it was inevitable that someone was going to do it.
I must say that I agree with a lot of what you have to say. It's the Republican propaganda machineGramercyRiff99 wrote: I'm both Canadian and underage (by four months), so it's not like I can have any impact on this, but I'd vote Obama in a heartbeat if I could. So would all my friends, and in fact, the vast majority of Canadians according to polls that have been taken by the news organizations up here. Do I think he'll be the panacea that a lot of people think he'll be? Hell no. I do, however, think he'll get some positive change through, and at this point I'll take anything over four more years of Republicans in the white house.
It near-enrages me to see people putting out these stupid rumours like "Barack Obama hates America" and "Obama is a Muslim", not that the last one there should even matter (but of course, Muslim = terrorist in the American mind). Every tiny little thing that people can catch immediately gets turned against him, even when it's something totally innocent. Hell, he even had to post a scan of his birth certificate on his website to prove that he was born in America, given the rumours saying he was born outside the country.
Meanwhile, whatever happened to those reports a few months back about McCain making incredibly racist jokes at a high-rollers club in Washington? Anyone remember those? Of course not, because only Obama is allowed to do wrong in the eyes of the types of people who care about this stuff. Face it, logical people like us aren't the type of people listening to these things with interest.
Unfortunately, there is a significant population of meth addled racist rednecks in the USA who just love passing around chain emails like "FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:FW: BARACK SADDAM HUSSEIN OSAMA HATES AMERICA". God knows they've foiled several assassination plots on Obama already, all by white supremacist meth-addled rednecks like the ones alluded to above.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is there would be FAR less controversy if Obama were white. So many people in the US desperately want to avoid a black man in the white house that they're latching onto anything they can possibly get to slander him. As much as I hate to say it, I would not be surprised a bit if he gets added to the list of presidents murdered in office. Do I want him to be? Of course not. I'm just a realist.
Canada kicks all kinds of ass. Lax drug laws, a lower drinking age (not to mention better beer), socialized healthcare, FAR safer major cities (seriously, look at the stats sometime, it'll boggle your mind), somewhat more logical bureaucracies (kids getting expelled for having a fishook in their pocket? not happening), and more than two major parties to choose from when voting. We have our problems, same as any country, and we have our racists too (though they generally hide better and are less upfront than in America), but I honestly have no intention of ever moving out of here.flashman wrote: I'm still troubled about what happened to JFK and if the same happens to Obama I'm moving my family out of this country. I've heard Canada is a great place to live..
From this Topic, 2 posts above:TelkEvolon wrote: I would rather vote for anyone other than Obama. If he was a white guy, no one would really care, so many people voted for him but don't know his polices or anything.
He could of just stayed at home for 2 years and people would still vote for him because they wanna make history and whatnot, He calls for change, for good or bad?
He still wants war and all the other stuff, the only difference is this president has his skin colour said before his name. "the black president" Obama.
Now I am not a racist, I just feel people were voting for the wrong reason. It is just making race an even bigger issue and if you are white and say anything about it, you are a racist. Why did Opreah support him, one reason his skin colour, I don't remember her getting behind anyone else. 98% of black people voted for Obama. I wonder why.
That's just my opinion, America is in a bad way, so I don't think he will mess it up, he might even make a good president. I am just not happy about the Race element to his winning.
I am not American, but this effects the whole world.
