My only comment will be on the turnout. I have been voting for near to 30 years and have never seen the turnout I saw this election.
What rocked me to the core was the young people. In years past I would feel sad because they seemed so apathetic (my kids are 21,23,25 so I am around young ppl). They said to me last election "It is a waste of time" "My vote wont count" etc.
When I was standing in line for early vote on Sunday, the line was 30-40% ppl under 25.
This time they were discussing the issues.....ALL OF THEM. I have had so many intelligent discussions with 18-28 yr olds and have learned an awful lot from them.
In one discussion we were 50/50 on the prez, but no arguements, just really good theroies and expression of their civic duty to do the right thing.
Lee Greenwood said it all in his song "I am proud to be an American, were at least I know I'm free..."0 -
Thats not entirely true... the largest number of young voters came out... this election was followed... perhaps if the last 2 were followed as intently we wouldnt be in the position of two war fronts and a sinking economy.
I voted because our troops are out there fiighting. The very least i could do....0 -
I am just so glad that Obama is president.2

I said I was very 'proud' that the young people 18-26 followed this election, and voted this week.
and that the Largest number of young people in all of my years came out to vote.
I am not sure what you thought I said0 -

I am Canadian, but very glad to see that Obama won this election. It might not be our country, but it all trickles down our way eventually!!0

The socialization of America begins.
Yeah, its worked well for France, right?
Depends on what you mean by "worked"...
and in the famous words of Forest Gump, "that's all i have to say about that."0 -

I'm glad Obama won, but I'm especially proud of the American's who got out there and voted--I don't care who you voted for, as long as you did!0

:drinker: His acceptance speech last night was truly historical. It made us wanna jump on a train and go to Chicago just to be a part of it! He based his campaign on Change (the economy) and hope (for the future). It was quite the refreshing change from the politics of the last 8 years. :happy:
Oh.. Max, I heard that he was cutting the pension of retired Roman Legionnaires in order to help balance the budget? :laugh: :bigsmile:1 -
hooo im glad to see him in, a little bit of left mentality for a while.. will be good (for the whole world !)
hopefully he will hold to his words and stick with it. it can be hard in there with all that pressure from lobbies and all the rest.0 -

I'm so sad my son will never get to hunt. I wonder if they will take away his be-be gun?0
