Congrats? Why, what's happened??

[jayhawks]

i believe, that it wasn`t like Jerry Lee voted...?!

[peterchecksfield]

Oh, I guess you're talking about the elections. This holds absolutely no interest for me & I'm unaware of the result (If only people in my country took more interest in local issues instead of a country on the other side of the world...).

[jayhawks]

your opinion is absolutely right, but i`m glad that "at the other side of the world" people voted for a change...

Local issues are important, but I also like to know who's got their finger on the big red button.
I'd rather it be Obama than Bush, that's fer darn sure!

congrats yanks!

No, congratulations to my European friends who wanted Obama to win. I'm with the Lewises on this one. It's not a good thing.

Tell Kay (go on, I dare you!).

Personally I have no preferance either way as I haven't really followed this. All I know is that for a country so PC-orientated they seem obsessed with gender (Clinton), age (McCain) & race (Obama). If a person of colour became prime minister of the UK then I really don't think it would be commented on anywhere near as much.

Ha, ha I actually almost wrote ...my European friends and Kay... Too bad I didn't, that would have been funny to cross-post.

I agree with you about gender, age, and race - silliness. We've just got more at stake here than who sits behind a desk for 4 years. There's more to the situation in the Middle East than any of us common people will ever know, and this president will be appointing justices to our Supreme Court. I'm very conservative, but Obama is very liberal, so I find his election disturbing.

If I lived in Kent, I wouldn't pay much attention to American politics either. It's important to be involved locally.

its about time the rest of the world got used to getting ripped off by fascist governments like we do.....no wonder Screaming Lord Sutch topped himself, bless his heart.......the beginning of the end !

Yes I agree, but I'd rather nobody had their fingers on that button. Let's hope we are indeed entering a new era when we all work together to save our world instead of trying to destroy it.

I think the "Lewis Camp" won't be very pleased with the re-election of Barack Obama, they still have the old "Red Neck" attitude
