Congratulations Mr Obama


Because he is black and George Doubleya was the biggest goose in US history....

It is fashionable, because then we can convince others that we are not racist and bigots....

The global influence of America is the cause for this global triumph. The spirit of change that Obama embodies and articulates brings the globe together in celebration.

Nation Finally Shitty Enough To Make Social Progress

...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."

I too read this article. I'd like to know what it is he said after the last line of your post. Bottom line: the fruit was ripe for the picking.
