Participant[quote=zk]Well, the easy part is over.
Let’s hope that Obama can live up to his promise. And let’s hope that we Americans can help him live up to it.
One thing I’d like to see his leadership accomplish is for it to help us to drift away from this “one side against the other” mentality that pervades this country, as illustrated on this forum. It’s our country, and we apparently all love it. But fighting each other accomplishes nothing to make it a better country. If we Americans, politicians especially, took all the time and energy that we spend bickering with and attacking each other and trying to spin things our way and spent it on seeing our problems as they are (not spinning), rationally discussing them and coming up with solutions for them, we might have a shot at turning this country around sooner rather than later.

WASHINGTON—After emerging victorious from one of the most pivotal elections in history, president-elect Barack Obama will assume the role of commander in chief on Jan. 20, shattering a racial barrier the United States is, at long last, shitty enough to overcome.
Faced with losing everything, Americans took a long overdue step forward and elected Barack Obama.
Although polls going into the final weeks of October showed Sen. Obama in the lead, it remained unclear whether the failing economy, dilapidated housing market, crumbling national infrastructure, health care crisis, energy crisis, and five-year-long disastrous war in Iraq had made the nation crappy enough to rise above 300 years of racial prejudice and make lasting change.
“Today the American people have made their voices heard, and they have said, ‘Things are finally as terrible as we’re willing to tolerate,” said Obama, addressing a crowd of unemployed, uninsured, and debt-ridden supporters. “To elect a black man, in this country, and at this time—these last eight years must have really broken you.”
Added Obama, “It’s a great day for our nation.”
Carrying a majority of the popular vote, Obama did especially well among women and young voters, who polls showed were particularly sensitive to the current climate of everything being fucked. Another contributing factor to Obama’s victory, political experts said, may have been the growing number of Americans who, faced with the complete collapse of their country, were at last able to abandon their preconceptions and cast their vote for a progressive African-American.
